RodeoSchro said:

Yeah I think Rove was hoping you took out the other two!

You should'a clocked her for the ticket!!!

ZombieKitten said:

Your voice is awesome.

Agreed

Hi V!

connorhawke said:

Hello Connor.

connorhawke said:

If I'd had the nerve, I'd have offered her the cost of the airfare so I could come along as her "friend" but I was too shy and stupid

RodeoSchro said:

Rove? Yeah rooting for the underdog

ZombieKitten said:

Cute though!

connorhawke said:

me and Tracey went man-hunting together, and got drunk together a couple of other times "where did you 2 girls meet?" "ON TVVVVV"

ZombieKitten said:

Awesome! I'd love the opportunity to say that to someone.

It has a better ring than 'on the internet'

connorhawke said:

people only think "dating site" or "creepy chat room predator" when they think of the internet. Don't tell your grandma you meet people on the internet

ZombieKitten said:

I met my fella on the internet! Language exchange!!!

connorhawke said:

My husband met practically everyone he knows via the classifieds in the Age, same thing, different era

ZombieKitten said:

Yeah I don't understand the stigma, really.

How did you meet Master?

connorhawke said:

the usual, pub pick-up

or do you want the long story? which includes Prince and horoscopes and 2 weird guys, one called Warren and the other one whose name nobody knew!

ZombieKitten said:

Extended Remix, please

connorhawke said:

OK, so I had these 2 completely nutty housemates who hated each other (which is another story) but anyway, the prequel to this story is that one of them wanted to show me a good time, so she took me to a pub where she'd been once, only we arrived basically in time for the band to do their encore (they played 1999!!) and then that place closed so we headed into the city to some godawful nightclub where footballers went and folks got killed in the streets outside (this was one year before that Jason Moran brawl that injured 13).

So, I was gonna take out the other housemate another time (she was a queenslander) but my guess was as good as hers when it came to good places to go out, so I took her to the pub that had that band playing. We LOVED the singer, Janine, she was BRILLIANT! (she could have been a big star, I saw her on the Midday show a lot early 00s but nothing much else ever happened with her and I don't like her anymore now cause she de-friended me on facebook )
My housemate liked the band, liked the venue and we went a few more times, talked to Janine, became her groupies

One Friday night, I read in the local paper horoscope that I would meet my future husband or lifelong friend, on or around December 8. Which was really strange and specific. Normally it's only vague stuff. So me and my housemate went out looking for my husband, still same pub with same band (we weren't very adventurous )
I was getting us a beer after the band's second set and this very drunk guy was trying to say something to me, more spitting than saying, actually and then the master (also singer in the band) came over and said to the guy, with one arm around me "Hey Warren! Have you met my wife?" Warren put his hands up apologising that he was just leaving. Then I turned around to look because he was obviously the one I was looking for He said his name was Leo and I said "OMG! I used to have a psychotic cat called Leo when I was 2!!!"

He bought me and my housemate drinks, then invited us to a party after the gig. We said OK! So, at about 3am, we get into his car ( ) and drive and drive and drive. "where is this party exactly?!?" says my housemate, who is sitting next to some guy in the back seat. "Oh, that party would be finished by now already, so I thought we could go back to my place instead!"

obviously this was a party in my pants routine we fell for

so we get there, I make us some Milos, pat the master's cats, me and my housemate sleep in the master's bed, the random guy gets a mattress on the floor and the master gets the couch. Close to dawn, the master gets into the bed with us and tries putting his hand in my pants, and I get up and leave, he follows me into the hall and asks "don't you like me?" and I glare at him "I don't even KNOW YOU!!?!?!" I gave him the EYE OF DEATH apparently and he LOVED IT!

We don't have enough money for a taxi cross town next day, so we make him drive us all home again. Turn out we thought random guy was the master's friend and he thought random guy was our friend. He was just some weird free loader wanting in on a sure thing We drove past my work. I said "that's were I work" then the following Monday he called me up and work and asked me out properly on what could be called a real date

Even though we got off on a very weird start, it all worked out OK in the end. He had apparently watched me from the stage and thought I was really cute (ie. big boobs ), and I must have smiled at him once or twice because he was under the impression I liked him

ZombieKitten said:

Awesome story!!!!!

They first line he said about you is the absolute best

The hand down the pants thing....not so much. But I guess he got it in the end

connorhawke said:
