Sorry to hear that, are pubs really happening social places overseas? Here a pub is somewhere you go to drink with people you already know, to meet someone knew you go to a club or bar. Distinction's as follows. Pub; been around for a while, usually has nice fire place, perhaps a single pool table, lots of deep couches, scodie never or seldom used tiny dance floor, a couple of tables for food, tiny kitchen that pumps out really good hearty food. Interior usually dark brown woods with leather and brick. Usually a dead animal or two hanging up, called trophies. Beers the normal drink, smokey. Bar; Cocktails and intreresting drinks, concreat floor, pretty coloured liquids the latest break beat and dub with a touch of jazz, a bar man who can spin a bottle and have an interesting conversation, late at night it gets a little buisier, with the guys and gals getting a little more friendly and getting ready to hit the.... Clubs; loud, bright and dim at the same time, latest remixes, theme parties, legal drugs, wild outfits and strait shots are the drink of choice. This is where you meet the annonamous lay or dump the guy you picked up at the prep bar.
Seriously, non, never have either. Dunno why, but then I always change trousers/jeans every day and besides. it's not like I leak or anything and when I do/if I do I stay home in bed, for what ever reason....(grubby chuckle)
Don't make me come over there Abra! The longer you obssess about it the more it's going to kill you and the more difficult it's going to become, do it soon and make sure for your own prides sake that you give it all without being pathetic or just a little so that you can face her the next day. Don't beg, and thank her regaurdless of out come. If you don't ask, you will never get.
Forgive me but you both seem adorable to me...do you have Terets syndrom? Some nervouse twitch of th jaw? Something that becomes painfully apparent off line? Both your photo's look good.
Optional stands up and waves to all the other guys..
'Hey look, two chicks you'd just love, why don't you all offer yourselves up for a date if you are within a few hours travel? You know they are single and kind, so at the very least they will be polite about turning you down and who knows, may be you're the one for them! The company alone would be worth the trip.'
Optional gets off the table packs colapsable high horse away and takes his eat again.
'If there was any chance in hell I had the money to come and see you guys myself I would, you at least deserve my effort.'
Suddenly thought, what am I doing about it? I am have joined a local walking group as I'm only available during the day really. I have registured with the local gay dating agentcy thingy. I don't go gay clubbing as I'm sick of the 'meat market' attitude but I do go clubbing. I have joined this dating site. I have asked my friends to hook me up with any of their gay friends. I ask out guys that take my fancy reguardless of their orientation. I hope this will be enough otherwise I might have to put an add in the personals column, but I've always thought that was like...the last straw.
Christchurch NZ is a city that thinks it's a small town, despite having a poplation of 460,000 people we manage, (that's everyone) to run into someone we know that we weren't expecting to see, everyday.
NZ is a true multi cultural place, with every nation represented, and just about every religion too. Christchurch likes to be different, some of the people you will find roaming the streets paid by the govenment to do so are, the Wizard of New Zealand, who is charged with alleviating public boardom, educating the masses on anything he can think up and being a living work of priceless art, verified by the Prime minister and the top art experts of this country. He is exempt of taxes and has an apprentice for when he retires. We also have two village idiots who's job is to promote charities and public events by not allowing anyone to ignor them and doing silly stunts. We have a town crier in full costume and we have a public executioner and shame officer, for those crimes that should not go annoymous.
Christchurch is a closet Goth city, we have a really large amount of black clothing worn by everyone, people from out of town comment on it. We even cultivate black tulips.
Christchurch boasts a large art influence and live music scene, we love to have coffee and there are more than 4000 licenced food outlets in the city.
Anything you want to do is within 3 hrs of the city centre, snowboarding, the beach, mountain biking, thermal pools, shopping, culture great food and wine.
Christchurch boasts an impressive amount of registered religions and we even have a church of the Jedi, started as a joke by a local radio station for the last census, they got enough people to put down their religion as jedi and it passed.
We have the largest transgender population per capita in the world, we are fearcly proud of or woman priminister and if you tell us something is impossible, count on someone having done it by next week.
We love festivals in this town and there is always one on.
Logan? Hard to tease that one at school, although...bogan?
Tria - girl Tae - boy
Most of the cool name I know are in a language I would have to translate sounds for.
Here's the vowel guide for Maori though so then I can print a few.
a= ah (short) e= ea as in air (short, clipped even) i= ee as in eeek o= or as in oar u= oo as in shoot (short, clipped) ng= as in nothi(ng) wh= ph as in pharmacy
Roll r's slightly.
Now try these names. Umanga - boy Hera - girl Actually transliteration of Sarah Tana - boy Maui - boy (a Maori god, a creator, warrior, joker) Tu - man of war
Kai tepai ahau? (is that cool with you?) Kapi! (sure) (great) (alright)
This is my dual language, all kids learn it few keep up with it. I live in a house wher it is our first language, so it's easy to remember it. I tried to teach some to taboo, but a lot of it you have to hear I guess as there is the accent as well.
A few things to remember for guys, have a signature scent, one that suits you and not the day. Have seasonal ones and don't use too much, heavy woods are no good for summer, you'll reak and blow a girls nose out. She has a more complex and refined sense of smell than you do as well. Use unscented deoderant and let the colone do the work, mixing very baaaaad, although using layering with body wash, aftershave balm and a mild colone from the same line will ensure pleasant all day long reakage.
Do not shake bottle, bruises the scent and makes it go off quicker. Throw away anything that smells 10% different to when you bought it, it's staring to turn and will only get worse.
Know your perfumes, I met a guy once who could chat a chick up as quick as a wink cuase he knew exactly what she was wearing, but if you don't know, at least learn the difference between a floral, green, woody, oriental, and citrus, then you are half way there.
My favourites for guys? Life essence by Fendi, great for the masculine or corprate, good for winter and autumn. Cool water...you gotta love this and it never seems to lose it's appeal. If you are an older guy your pheremones will have deepened and you will need a cleaner and greener scent to help, try something like 'Eau des 4 Voleurs' or a true green. Lemon Verbena?
Chicks please also keep in mind the season, a heavy oriental will destroy any chefs beautiful meal if worn on a warm summer night, if it's your man's favourite, spray a little into the air and then quickly duck under it, this will get it in your hair and give him that hit he loves when he hugs you hello but it won't interfere with your other senses when trying to taste etc.
Anise Anise, oh what a great oriental floral, boring bottle on this side of the world, amazing smell.
Angel, both male and female versions, base is Amber and for those who love amber, Loccitane is closing this run and as fare as I know they are the only ones who do the pure form.
Grr..still waiting for the digital camera, once I have one I will be digitising all my current work, lots of tattoo's to choose from and ....lot's of different styles.
Arranged marriage. Well if you know nothing about what love is, it could work, you wouldn't know if you could be happier with someone else. How about unarranging marriages? I've seen people get married to awful people that you knew would never last. I think if your friends say it's a bad idea and your parents and sibblings too, then you should listen.
I was thinking if you allowed your parents to pick your future partner you should be aware that they are looking for the ideal that they want for the person they wish you to be as opposed to the person you are.
There is a radio station here that every three years, get two strangers married, so far the two marriages they have arranged have stayed together and one couple have children and claim to be happy, but then the station did their best to match the two people over a quite a few weeks, had them analyzed ect. They also talked to the families and exes and friends, I'm looking forward to next years actually.
Someone who can consume as much coffee as I do and then keep up with my shopping habits. Someone who can take blunt honesty and can hand it out when needed, compassion, a real chiller, loves to dance even if you can't, looks for the best first.
What have I been up to? Hospital in the last few days, yes I was sick but I'm better now. I read the forums and occassionally post something, I tend to stay out of the really long threads as they tend to move topic quite quickly, if you want to read my comments I tend to post to forums for 30 answers or less.
My appologies, your profile says little about you and so I cannot place you and know nothing about who you are, if you care to rectify that, just send me an email, I'm good at getting back to peole:)
The bottles are the shape of your child hood imaginings, both good and bad, and the contents taste of success and satisfaction.
'Sorry I'm late, where do I put the keg?' Optional goes back outside, you can hear I muffled 'back up the truck boys' 'It's not over yet people and while your at it bar man, a moscow mule please.' Optional sits back with his ginger vodka and lime to watch well oiled up muscle men form a chain and start passing in boxes full of interestingly shaped bottles. Yep, with the bar restock taken care of it looks like a lazy three weeks or so yet before someone has to go for more.....
Winning a ladies heart, listening to my girlfriends at work it seems that all women have a different button, something that makes it 'click' with them.
Personally I'd say that all of you have it covered in one way or another, is any answer wrong (ok if you think that a club over the back of the head and dragging to a near by cave is a good idea...but I digress). The one feature I have to offer is no alteria motive friendship. This seems to attract. But then this does defeat the whole purpose....hmmm...back to the drawing board. How about listening instead of waiting for our turn to speak? And not trying to fix any of their problems, just listening. and making the right coo, coo noises.
So sorry about the white-out wonder, but I have no digital pics that have just me in them, I always have to edit and the rules as I read them were pics of yourself, not others, so.....I'll trade the white-out for being the only one in the picture.
I have a new boyfriend! His name is Sam and he's cute as a button. Not the hotest guy I've ever seen but the whole package is great.
Having attempted to make contact on all fronts seems to have helped, the more arena's I placed myself in for contact the more likely I was to fing someone. All arena's are viable, yet they are also each very different, for contact via the internet holds a whole different set of problems from contact face to face.
I understand a few people think I'm not around anymore and I'll be honest I save my energy for work a lot now.(promotion, more pay, more resposibility) I have paperwork to do after work now! Not the usual for a waiter. And I have to produce two more designs a week now also, that I can assure you is starting to be more like work and less like a hobby.
Still some fun projects comming up, making large (128 litres) quantities of alcohol, sewing some cloths for my new boy, and a huuuuuuuge LAN party. Oh and a cool concert that my friend is playing in and an Archery torny.
You know what to do guys and gals, just email my private box if you wish to chat, I will get back to you.
Hehe, I've just had a really cool Idea for a thread, look for the 'zen round' post.
Er, Maori, celtic-esque, cyber punk and japanese influence. NZ'ers love tattoo's, a mark of machoism or tribal heritage, anyway, unless it's done badly (they pity you) or it contains forbiden material (swastika, you deserve everything you get), or it is very obviously tribal only and you aren't from a Maori tribe. Moko is right out (cheers M. Tyson!) and reserved designs. I try to mix it up a bit, will send you some older ones if you like.
Hmmm something in common, I do flash work for some local studio's. TabooN has some of my work. I would have some for somebody else on this site but they haven't got back to me with a few details.
A major research institution has announced the discovery of the heaviest element yet know to science - "governmentium." It has 1 neutron, 12 assistant neutrons, 75 deputy neutrons and 111 assistant deputy neutrons for an atomic mass of 312. These 312 particles are held together by forces called morons that are further surrounded by vast quantities of lepton-like sub particles called peons.
Governmentium has no electrons and is therefore inert. It can be detected however since it impedes every reaction it comes into contact with. A tiny amount of governmentium can take a reaction that normally occurs in seconds and slow it to the point where it take days.
Governmentium has a normal half life of three years. It doesn't decay but "re- organizes", a process where assistant deputy neutrons and deputy neutrons change places. This process actually causes it to grow as in the confusion some morons become neutrons, thereby forming isodopes.
This phenomenon of "moron promotion" has led to some speculation that governmentium forms whenever sufficient morons meet in concentration forming critical morass. Researches believe that in Governmentium, the more you re- organize, the morass you cover.
I really like a lot of you, I know I'm slack and take my sweet time to mail some of you, but given time I'd like to think that we can be solid friends.
