Oh goodness.... I thought all my christmas' had come at once today :shock: :D

There I was, sitting in accounting. Now, there is this REALLY hot guy in my class (my friends & I would drool over him & go on about how hot he is :P :D ) but I don't really know him very well because he can be a tool sometimes & I hate his friends. However, I know he's from Victoria & likes AFL (& plays.... very well so I've been told :P ).
He was sitting at the computer opposite me today (so both computers are on the same desk, back to back). I have Collingwood pics on my book & I'd put it next to me. After a while he noticed it & picked it up. My heart nearly skipped a beat when he actually spoke to me..... I've been trying to work up the courage to talk to him for a while.... He said some stuff about Collingwood & about the pics. He was asking why I like AFL etc. Turns out he's a Geelong supporter.... :roll:

Then, I was sitting in my chair with my legs streched out under the desk. I felt his foot touch mine once, then they were leaning up against my feet. He was flicking his foot, tapping mine at the same time. So I was tapping back. It was really cool..... :D We were then almost kicking each other but laughing at the same time. We peered around the computers at eachother & smiled..... :)
It was just one of those moments..... *sigh*

But, I doubt I'll ever speak to him again, maybe, but not really..... :D

Just made my day..... :P :D 8)

Thanks so much - packing up everything at the moment as I'm not taking a lot over. :)

Not the best time to be moving there but still - I'm up for the adventure. Let's just hope in 6 months I won't be living in a cardboard box in the Bronx! LOL

I was asked today to be the Godfather of close friend's 3 month old boy. Absolutely chuffed and honored. More so because they know I'm not into god, religion or anything like that. Never imagined being this excited about something that never really meant anything to me. Godfather Frank, I like it :D
