A Simple and Nice Weekend

The weekend was very calm and had the just the right mix of stuff for it to be a good weekend. Firstly I want to report to you guys that my fishes are still alive from Thursday. The male guppies are really busy chasing the females and each other. Talk about being horny!! Ok, I feel a little naughty. But seriously, I thought that they were going to have trouble adjusting to my tank but they seemed to be at home from the start and whenever I have been looking at them they are always chasing the females. Guppies are one of those fishes that actually have a unique mating dance. The males kind of swim around twisting their bodies and vibrating themselves and look like they are fanning themselves with their tails. This is apparently an attempt to seduce the females I am told. And then they wait to “nudge” the females when they get their chance. So anyways, I guess what I am saying is that I am glad that they are fitting in.

Friday started out being a very normal one with dinner with “The Rock”. We went to a Korean place near the university area, which was so spicy that I could hardly finish what I had ordered “Spicy Chicken Bulgogi”. So I took the rest of the stuff home. Then I dropped him home and went home. I talked for a whole lot of time to my parents. Jerry had called and left a message while I was chatting with my parents. He was really excited about some baseball team winning over someone else. He had said that I should call him either at home or at his brother’s place or would just see me at the club. After I was done talking with my parents, I called him but he wasn’t at home and I wasn’t sure about calling his brothers place so late at night. So I just assumed that I would see him at the club.

I went over to the club, but I couldn’t really find him. I met one of my co-workers and his partner. They were really nice people. His partner was kind of drunk and kept dancing with other people and I wasn’t really sure how to react since I didn’t want to say “no” and insult my co-worker but I didn’t want to over indulge and bug my co-worker. And so I was kind of dancing around a while until my co-worker came and whispered to me that he didn’t mind his partner dancing around with others guys and that he liked to watch his partner dance more than anything. I took that as a glaring go-ahead and dance. His partner was dancing a very Latin style and so I was inclined to join him. His partner was a spanish guy who spoke a decent amount of English. He was quite a strong lead and decided to take my hand and dance around. It was easy to dance with him and I had a lot of fun. I was even grinding with both of them for a while.

Saturday was a very late morning. I got up around 3pm. I did some shopping in order to cook my fish curry and to try and get it right this time. It turned out quite fine but I added a little too much spice in it and so it was burning my lips each time I tasted a piece. After cooking and keeping it aside, I decided that after that I did want to go to the dance soirée. So I went there around 7pm and we learnt to do the 2 step - nightclub style. I saw Maria who is also from my class. She was dressed really well. She was a little too pushy for my taste. She kept trying to get things exactly right. But since I didn’t have anybody else to dance with, I wasn’t complaining. Luckily for me, there were quite a few women who were sitting the dance out. So I was continuously dancing. One of them introduced herself over the appetizers as Cindy and wrote me down some instructions to come to social dances on Friday evenings. I gladly took it down but I don’t know how often I will get to go there.

After the dance I went home and freshened up before going to the club. I left a voice mail for Jerry to call me back and was hoping to see him at the club. I never did see him that day either. But I went in my formal dance dress and one of my friends commented asking why I was dressed so formally. That’s when I realized that I was dressed a little too formally for a dance club. So I went to the bathroom and took my shirt out of my pants and loosened up my hair a little. I danced my heart out for the rest of the evening but the music sounds so Latin to me these days for some reason. So I always end up doing some form of Latin dancing. (Yeah! In a night club.)

Anyways, I was tired soon and I went over and talked to “Blue Water”. His friend was very excited to see me. She went on chatting with me in English and I commented about how good her English had become. She works really hard. She works in a factory during the early mornings and in a restaurant during the evening. I am surprised that people would even have that much energy to get through the day. But on a positive note, its an awesome workout, to work that much. But anyway, after she went away, I had a few moments of conversation with “Blue Water”. The reason I call him “Blue Water” is that he is always so calm and has something good to say to most people. He is always very nice to his friend and pretty much hugs her most of the time. One thing I don’t like about him is that he smokes. He smokes a lot in fact. Anyways, we were sitting side by side and he asked me why I was single and so I asked him back the same question and he replied that he wanted to be single and so I told him that I wanted the same too. Somewhere there we both had a moment. But we both looked away and that was that.

Quote of the Day: When we chase love, it runs away and hides, but when we run away it chases us. Strange are its ways.
