Hi,
I share your passions for:-
• Animals and I like them so much I don’t eat them
• Dance – though this is fairly new to me – and quite a surprise to me too – I have just suddenly got it and watch MTV with a completely different focus – do you think the Cheryl Cole troupe are in desperate need of more rehearsal or is it meant to look like that?
I enjoyed the dance part of FAME (what there was of it) and THIS IS IT and was delighted to stumble across a level 0 Hip Hop class. I want to get better and appreciate more – sincerely.
I am conscious that I have scored 3 own goals and saying I have a vague knowledge of Rambert and have heard of Michael Clark is perhaps not going to help.
• Music – like you anything that reaches – and in my case even if it is not cool – like Alphabeat – but I do like mainstream rap, hip hop and dance – I like Kiss FM best
• I used to enjoy singing and did a lot of it but now feel vaguely resentful that when I was in choir my peers were acquiring football and social skills outside.
• Skateboarding and inline blading are on the begun list for me – just waiting for a companion here, yes really.
• I spend a lot of time in the gym so no surplus pounds on me – at present – but I need the gym – the lights, the tribe, the noise, the company, the music, the soft towels, the scalding showers, the friendly conversation and the endorphin hit
• I used to be very sarcastic and cutting – then it dawned on me that the hurt it caused to others was not justifiable (and worst case it did deep damage) so I now I do kindness.
I am not being prissy, it is nothing to be proud of but my language is quite robust and I acn still be rather too direct and intolerant of euphemisms, but you can go qua very long way within the boundaries of kindness – in fact perhaps way further when it is said with a smile and good humour within the context of a caring friendship - but then again perhaps there was irony there too?
What would be the plan for a first non-date date then – I am not being assumptive but I can hardly wait?
Not for you the pictures or a gig or the terraces then?
A s lightly informal one person identity parade come job interview, boo and suit then?
A public, well lit, core hour’s venue, a coffee shop perhaps with low noise levels so after the initial visual was passed the verbal examination step could start with clarity?
I do not know why I am responding to you at all actually.
I really wanted someone with your interests, yes, but who would be happy to called by a pet name (poppet or baby girl – do I hear curled lips and snarls)and give me a cuddle when I felt beaten up (vice versa too – of course)– no mention in your list of snuggling up to watch DVD’s.
Dancer – or Icemaiden?
However your feisty, frosty friendship would be well worth having even if you plan to break my heart by not even giving me a cold hand to hold.
So if I pass the visual (at last someone who likes short hair and skateboarding – or was that ironic (too)?)
I still look forward to hearing from you but know, that busy person that you are, you do not reply to people you will not get on with and there is short hair that is fashionable and there is short hair that says is this person having chemo or is an apprentice monk or has had nits or only gets it cut once a year.
I take cats on a case by case basis.
Few people are more clearly cat person than you, I am sure.
Kindest wishes,
Al.
PS I would have attempted an acronym laden and laboured joke about texting shorthand but did not dare for fear of your filter – I would have made the effort, in fact I had.
PPS My clothing has improved - I now have a non-work pair of sahoes that are not (expensive) trainers, a jumper from next with a hrad top organise polo neck, and a dary hooded top that weights more than I do - and to think I used to be clothes conscious - I still like clothes though.
