Guising, already.

I had a shower and got changed before going out last night, and as I left the house I suddenly felt very odd. I checked that I had remembered to get dressed - which I had - and realised that it was what I was wearing that felt odd. For the last week or so I've been picking up the same jacket as the day before (red and black nylon bike jacket) rather than shift all the stuff in the pockets to a different one. This felt fine with jeans, but when I changed into a pair of combats, it felt . . . odd. It felt like I was in fancy dress. It still does, to an extent. Very strange.

In other news, I might have a couple of days off in a week or so because of local and University holidays. What should I do with them? Go north to somewhere scenic? Visit people? Spend them in an alcoholic stupor? Answers wrapped around an unopened whisky bottle on a postcard, please. to the usual address.

Ah, but it takes two . . .

And Hello, of course.

No, it doesn't. Check again. They have FREE beginner lessons (similar to my own beloved Eugene Tango Center's "Tango from Zero" lessons) prior to the dance on Sunday. Tango is a social dance--you're supposed to be able to ask strangers to dance with you, although I admit this is a challenge for many men including my own darling.

I'm sure at least one charming and courageous young goth woman reading your LJ would be delighted to learn to tango with you. And then you'd know how to tango. Which will be important when you come visit.

-X.

This is a Calvinist nation, though.

Q: Why do the Close Brethren only commit adultery lying down?

A: In case God thinks they're dancing.

While I think that the chance of finding a goth woman who is both charming and courageous would be easy to overstate, I suppose that you do have a point.
