Boxing Class

...so my workmate Nate and I did a boxing class today at lunch time. If you've ever done a boxing class, you KNOW it takes it out of ya. Anyways, we were stretching down at the end of the class to chill out music and I was in the middle of a stretch when I started to think about Maria's owl shirt. I started laughing to myself and then let out a HUGE, LOUD fart. The rest of the class was a mix of horrified stares and uncontrollable giggles. Needless to say I won't be showing my face in boxing class any more.

Interview with Myself

...so I'm totally tapped for blog-spiration so I'm copying Riss, copying Maz and interviewing myself.

Q: What's your theme song?
A: 'Above The Clouds' - Amber. It's basically about struggling through (in the song's case, a relationship) and being really, really happy. For me, it's about being completely high clubbing when the Gay Games were in Sydney -aka- the first time I was truly comfortable with being gay.

Q: What perfume do you wear?
A: 'T' by Tommy Hilfiger. I just started wearing it after about a two year hiatus. Does cologne go off???

Q: If you won the lotto, what would you do with the money?
A: Give half of it to my parents and siblings. Throw a huge going-away party in Sydney with an open bar. Buy first class tickets around the world for Matt and I. Settle down in New York in a loft in Soho. Open a bar in Chelsea. I dunno if I'd let my friends drink for free...I'd be broke in the first couple of months if I did that. ;)

Q: What instruments have you played at one point?
A: I tried learning piano back in high school, but I only only learnt one song - "Lost In Your Eyes" by Debbie Gibson. How did my friends not know I was gay back then?

Q: What inspires and drives you?
A: My older sister who has been through two heart attacks (at ages 21 and 37), a double heart by-pass (at age 26), a kidney transplant (at age 29) and brought my beautiful niece and nephew into the world when she was told she wasn't able to have kids. She also cooks a mean lamb roast.

Q: What food can you not live without?
A: All of it - except eggplant. I seriously, seriously love food. One of my favourite things to do is to eat out with a nice bottle of wine and good conversation.

Q: Who do you tend to get drunk with the most?
A: HAHAHA anyone? Matt and I enjoy a bottle of wine over dinner a few nights a week, so I'd probably say Matt. The person I tend to get SMASHED with most often is probably Maria. Everytime I drink with Maria we always end up laughing the longest and the loudest at THE-MOST-STUPID things. Last week it was Maria's irish accent which sounds mysteriously like a 'pirate' accent. HAHAHA I'm tearing up remembering.

Q: How many times have you been in love?
A: Not including my crush on Steve (*giggle*) - 3.

Q: How many times have you had your heart broken?
A: Once. And once was enough.

Q: How many hearts have you broken?
A: One, I think. But he broke mine first, so that's allowed right?

Q: What guys do you find attractive, looks-wise?
A: Tall, mixed-race guys. Yes, I realise that's an obvious answer when you see Matt, but if you took a look at my track record you would find it dominated by tall, mixed-race men.

Q: What draws you, past the looks?
A: A creative streak, strong family values and the ability to let me be me.

Q: What type of guys could you never date?
A: Guys in the closet. I understand their reasons, but I've come too far and gone through too much to go back in there.

Q: What's been the best day of your life so far?
A: The day my sister came out of her coma after her second heart attack last year. That was also the day I came out to my parents. If you think that's bad timing, YOU try coming out!

Q: Short term goals?
A: Get a six-pack. Make the finals at Poker Challenge for the third season running. Lease a two bedroom apartment at Bowery Place.

Q: What are a few things about you that would surprise most people?
A: I enjoy doing the laundry and ironing. I also enjoy stacking the dishwasher.

Lunch

...so after seeing the ABS-olute f-ABS-ulousness of Steve's uhmm...abs (see previous post) I've reduced myself to eating crap like this for lunch:





Yes, that is a take away bowl of steamed vegetables. No salt. No butter. No covered-in-cheese-and-then-baked. Just steamed vegetables. It's not on the side of say, a steak or veal cordon bleu. Just plain old steamed vegetables. *sigh*

Steve isn't my only abs-piration though. I'd tell you more, but I'm saving that for an upcoming post. :)

Gaming

...so I've never really been one huge on video games. Well, maybe for a little while when I was living with Steve and Rhands and we were forever on Rhandy's Xbox. Rhands would play Halo, Steve would play Amped and I would play...Super Puzzle Fighter. Or Bubble Bobble. :)

However, this has all changed since I bought Matt a Playstation Portable for our anniversary. I know, I know - I'm the best boyfriend ever.

The first game Matt bought was the World Series of Poker game and now I'm totally hooked. I've won two events in a row with my custom player and now I'm gunning for the WSOP championship. My bankroll is around $1.3 million and I've won three (count 'em! Three!) invitationals in a row. Needless to say, Matt doesn't get to see his PSP very often. Oopsie.

Now I need to work on my skills at Bubble Bobble Evolution. Oooh and Super Puzzle Fighter comes out on PSP this Friday! Maybe I should just get one of my own... Come to think of it, a PSP would make a GREAT going away gift. *ponder*

OH! And I know this is totally random...but check out my boy Stevie's abs! You could play chess on them! A6 to B4 - CheckMATE *growl*.

Work Funnies

...so everyone has things that make them laugh at work. Maria has made me laugh more than a few times with her stories about asking for someones "coconuts" (she meant 'contact details') and how she occupies herself in meetings by repeating "I don't care I don't care I don't care". HAHAHA - That cracks me up everytime.

My favourite work funnies are (in no particular order):

- After working on a project for over six months, the project manager walks past me in the hallway and says "Hi Sam".
- During a meeting with some customers from Asia, the lady from sales said "Breast case scenario" instead of best case scenario and I almost died from stifling my giggling.
- In an email, the project manager asked for the 'Headcunt Report' ASAP. HAHAHA Headcunt. Gets me everytime.

Have a great Mardi Gras weekend everyone! *throws up rainbows*

Song of the Day: "The Only Way Is Up" - Yazz. My new running song.
