Winter Arrives With Rain

Winter is here, we are one week into the coldest fortunes and only today has there been intimidating rain. Around 4:00 a.m. it started raining heavily and I prayed that it would cease when it was time to head for the bus so I wouldn’t get soaked. I didn’t think to take along my mum’s umbrella because it was all weird lady colors but luckily when it came time to head for the bus stop the rain had ceased.

These last seven days have been rather generous to me and what’s more, I have found more luck in my being paid be Centrelink this morning. Now I am truly independent and set for this job and when my money arrives on Thursday I will have made more than a grand in one week. This weekend proves to carry on the tradition of having a great weekend as I have done in the past two weeks.

The plan to head for Club Troppo up in Gosford has been made and knowing how much they boasted of it last time around I am definitely not missing it this weekend. If something decently memorable happens this weekend it will be the third week in a row where I have been blessed with good tidings. Not to mention, I will have plenty of money to spend on plenty of clothes and for the first time in a long time, I will feel wealthy.

The Cockroach Returns

Before we step onto the door-stop of chronology, let me note that the age of cockroaches has approached me looming again. Last night when I headed to the toilet after having a shower I looked behind me and noticed a weird looking tanned cockroach standing at the bows of my feet. He just stood there, mesmerized by me and he made me feel as if he was a pet, standing by my side waiting for me to pat him.

However, instead of being nice to the critters and seeing the adorable spunk in him, I steadily picked up an empty toilet roll and as he trustingly looked on, I put it over him. Even when I was almost on him with the toilet roll he didn’t flinch and my poor attempt to trap him had seen him make a half-hearted run for life. It was either the cockroach was too old to care about dying or it just thought I was a friend and trusted me. Either way you would have to believe that the disgust of cockroaches is back and the loathing with it.

Watching From The Couches

Carving up the meat of my Saturday night, I shall gore it of its lesser details and give you a caption of a great night that ought have lasted longer. For half an hour Tyler, Binh and I sat down, watching others walking to the dancefloor one by one to strut their stuff. Taking a look into the dance room I noticed that everyone was just letting loose with that mile-high-spirit attitude.

It felt like the three of us were just below par of their position in society but after a couple of minutes on the dancefloor I too just let myself go. There were some hot chicks sitting around on the couches as I let my eyes wander. Who knows what people could read into the expressions on my face but I’m sure I kept my perverted thoughts pretty concealed. There was one moment in the night which had me wondering where the heck to look.

Two of the most beautiful girls in the club (one was a stunning blonde with a black short skirt) walked right up in front of me as I was sitting down. One of the girls had her back to me but her ass was right in my face, I mean two inches away. What a magnificent ass it was as I just wanted to sick my teeth into it but knew I couldn’t.

I wondered whether it was just a tease of hers or if she just wasn’t aware what she was doing but I can be sure that she knew exactly what she was doing. They were probably waiting to see if I would say something but as I noted, I didn’t know where to look. Half the time I was looking at her ass but the other half I was looking to the sides in order of not being rude and eventually Binh sat on the other side of me so that I could turn a bit and not be facing her delectable tush.

Cutting Loose At Last

Our decision to head onto the dancefloor came after a fair bit of decision making. The three of us didn’t really feel part of the population in the night club and we all had our reasons. Binh just didn’t like the idea of having to wear clothes he normally wouldn’t wear just to fit into a social group. Tyler looked glum-faced all night with some happier moments but he wasn’t depressed or not enjoying himself. That’s just how he chose to represent himself for the night. Myself, I wasn’t reassured that I could get out there and mix with the crowd.

For the first couple of minutes dancing neither of us got past the basic moves of dancing and I kept thinking, “I don’t want to keep doing the same motion all through the night as everyone else is just letting loose.” As soon as that thought went through my mind I decided to cut loose with my hands away from my comfort zone of nowhere past my hips and I let them fly. From there my hips started to move with more zest and before you knew it I was in par with everyone else in the stakes of enjoying myself.

Binh told me later in the night that within the first five minutes of my starting to dance I had a girl that was eyeing me intensely. This blonde that I remember to astute detail I probably could have danced with for some of the night and I’m not sure why she disappeared but I think it was because I never approached her. Man, if I had known a bit more and was not so oblivious when caring about my fears, I would have seen her and been with her.

We probably danced the night away from two straight hours before deciding to jump off the dancefloor. In this whole time I was getting hungrier because I hadn’t eaten upon leaving home. Part of the reason was because my dinner was getting cooked but the other half was so that my stomach would be flat when I was dancing at the club instead of a full-stomach pot belly that isn’t too attractive.

Girls On The Podium

Through the whole night we ended up dancing up and down one side of the floor and as Tyler danced on the middle podium, Binh and I danced on the ground near him. There were a couple of girls on the podium at different times where it seemed like all I had to do was jump up there and they would dance with me but I chose not to because of the same old reason. Then there was a girl who looked like the Mediterranean type a couple of steps away from me on the ground.

Each time I would look over at her she would be glancing at me and once I caught her looking my way and chatting to her friend as if to say “God he’s good looking, I wish he came over here”. There was one stage in the night where I was so free that I danced right near girls but never on them. It was the closest I got to dancing up on the girl thus far in my new adventures and if they had turned around it would have been on.

Through my night of moving around on the floor and shaking my ass left, right and center, I had the assuming thoughts that I was somehow chasing away the girls. My self-conscious mind was playing tricks on me when I would dance near girls and then minutes later they would walk away and I tried to believe that they were only getting tired but after a while I wasn’t too sure. It seemed that every time we made our way towards a group of girls and I laid my eye onto one of them with a glance here and there, they would be gone within minutes.

It made me conscious about the way I was dancing. Did I look like an idiot whilst cutting loose? Was I dancing too hard? What was I doing wrong? Therefore, I decided to slow it down for a little while but that didn’t fare too much better either. Maybe it was just my imagination playing tricks on me but it seems that every time I am a meter from a girl they always seem to disappear within a couple of minutes. Maybe the girls could tell I was below the social standards or maybe it was all just in my imagination.

A Scuffle On The Floor

The night went on without a hitch as Ace came down to dance with us for a couple of minutes and then as expected, he spent the rest of the night around his girlfriend. There was one time near the end of our dancing on the dancefloor where I noticed a scuffle between a guy and a girl. If you were only paying attention to your dancing you wouldn’t have noticed the hard looking girl towering with her ferocity over the whimpering guy. The girl had a half aboriginal half South American look to her but she was good looking.

You couldn’t tell she was aboriginal until you could see the stare of death into her lover’s eyes as they stood on the dancefloor. Within seconds she cuffed her hand and done an arched motion of an uppercut towards his unsuspecting balls. Hitting them fairly fierce he jumped back to avoid a total knockout and instead of walking away he just clutched his balls and awaited her next course of action. What surprised me is how she started to head-butt him a couple of times and still he was cowering back not telling her to stop and neither walking away.

Eventually he did make his way off the dance floor with her still giving him the stare of death and another shot to the balls. There were a fair few people on our side of the floor looking on, it was funny. Later in the night when we headed outside I saw the guy comforting his girlfriend as they were walking back up the street so I figured they were going out with each other.

Hungry And Broke

When 1:30 a.m. arrived we decided to jump off the dancefloor and I was elated due to my famished stomach. Nevertheless, there was a touch of irony as I had two dollars but I couldn’t spend my money as I needed it for a bus trip to work. Ace also told me that there was an area in Byblos where I could get free food but after searching in vain for the food and for Ace I couldn’t come up with anything to fill my stomach.

After sitting down once again on the leather sofas we lay back and relaxed as we pondered on what to do next. I didn’t want to leave the club and my impression of the remaining night was to get something to eat and then to jump back on the dancefloor. I gathered that after that break I could get back out there and dance with at least one girl as they were rather inviting despite their not approaching me. However, Binh and Tyler had the thought of heading home on their mind.

Binh had to get back home before 3:00 a.m. because he had an early start at his bakery shop the next day and Tyler really wasn’t having such an enthusiastic night except for a couple of moments where he let half-loose. Sitting down on the sofas there were a couple of girls across from us that were sitting down and wearing a skirt. One of them had a split up to the start of their hips and boy did she have long legs, what a beautiful sight…
