Am I a blockhead?

I had a pretty weird conversation with a coursemate. It all started when I was talking about creative writing for MA11. I asked her to give me Nigel's email address so that I might ask him to grade me based on my blogs (I'm trying to flatter myself. Not that I think I'm a good writer but hey...I gotta boost my own miniscule ego if no one else does it for me, right?)

Anyway, I believe it started with me saying that I have low confidence and suddenly, out of the blue, she says that a couple of course-mates of mine have suddenly taken an interest with me, and my background. I mean, how interesting can my background get??? Oh well...I must be some blockhead and that's why they're interested.

How does one actually notice physical behaviour and/or read signs from it? I have no idea. A girl would have to be pretty direct with me in order to get me to notice something. It's not that I'm an egoistic blockhead but I am a blockhead when it comes to reading signs. Besides, I like things out in the open, and spoken. It's plain and simple and leaves little chance of a misunderstanding which could end up rather embarrasing for both parties later on.

Speaking of MA11. It feels that since the course has ended, everyone's gotten along with their own lives, moving on and drifting apart. I suppose some of us have gotten closer and tend to chat a little more than others might have on MSN. I do wonder if the others besides Elgen and Lindy have MSN accounts/software as well.

I've just return from the Glamour shot pre-event for a hotel staff dinner and dance. I can't imagine how thrifty Singaporeans can get. First question that I usually hear doing these pre-events are, "is it free?" or, "must pay or not ah? If must pay then don't want." Geez...come on! It's a Dinner & Dance and you're supposed to be dressed in your best for the night! Live a little! So what's with spending $2 or even $5 to get the shot done? They'd only do it if it were free (or prepaid by their companies).

I think I'll hang around online for a while longer...see if anything else interesting will happen today. It has been, afterall, a strange and a little weird day.
