eeeets a smaaall world aaaaafter all!

and now for weirdness and small worldliness and such!! On sat neil and i went to go and support the keith in entertaining those englishmen/mess and to see chantelle who also was out! She is lookin still very thin but quite a bit better since the last time i saw her i must say!! anyways i was sitting and chattin with her i think at the time when the wedding party people arrived that the thakes are actually here to join. When this REALLY friendly guy steps up and says "Hey!! How are you??!?"
I have to admit the way he said it was as if i should maybe know him so there was a moment of reeeal awkeardness as i squinted at him trying to place him. luckily he then asked what my name was!
*pheew*

so then i thought ah well it's rare you meet someone THIS friendly! may as well chat to the guy! and so i asked where he was from as he had an accent? and he confirmed yes! he had relatively recently returned to south africa after his family had immigrated to Oz about 9 years ago... at which i started squinting at him again... he definately thinks i'm weird at this point... but NOT as weird as when i suddenly burst out "WAIT!! don't tell me!! you're in graphic design!!! you're joel's arty older brother?!?!?! aren't you!!!"

aaah i'm so subtle :P

heheh luckily it was him but i think i officially frightened him with that behaviour and he'll warn his brother not to befriend such a mad raving loon! hehehehe it just kicked in when he said australia in a way hah! and also i suddenly remembered Tracey and joel talkin about his sideburns?? they ARE big!!! :D

heheh i was very much excited by my terrific skills i must have picked up from all the csi watching i do :P

just a fun silly story but these are important as well

Cool thing!

Melanoma Bracelet
My Daily Candy newsletter popped up this cool bracelet created to raise awareness about early melanoma detection & prevention!It's called an "I Will Reflect" bracelet.
It changes color when exposed to harmful UV rays.
:)

Not sure if they ship to SA tho but it's a pretty cool idea i think!

It's dangerous to drive with Danie

wow. He is Danger Dan... not because of his driving oh no... because it gives me the very bad option of getting rather ge-smashed! doh!
Last night was tons of fun considering some small difficult things!
This is my mini apology in case neil and i drove you batty my dear friend but thank you so much for taking us out! I had... a... BLAST!

My only regret that i can recall right now tho is I still think the barman should have let me name his cocktail the Mean Dean tho... *sigh*
why won't people listen :P
and perhaps reacting a little harshly to a pretty nice guy grabbing my ass... heh... but it's mine, and once is forgivable but 5 times is seriously pushing it...

WikiHOW is a site that keeps popping up on my stumble and today it was this?

How to Fall Out of Love

Actually it's all pretty good advice too!?? I can't think how often Kat and i used to sit around while i sat sobbing and trying to figure it all out on my own, berating the universe for not handing us all a manual at birth!! lol! well maybe it's just arrived a little later than expected is all but in case anyone else might need it I'm posting this link.
I'll sum it up as this: A very useful link of good advice for those who will listen to it seriously and don't have a handy Katherine to tell you all this stuff in person :)
