I Must be So Totally Hot Right Now

Looks like I'm right back in the flow being true to this blog's agenda... there's been precious little dating discussion since I gave up the G.O.D.S but after my 'hot-date' on Friday (below) and the unexpected gift I received this evening, looks like things are on the up.

[Excuse me one moment while I roll about on the floor laughing my butt off].

It's like this, I was having a perfectly sensible online chat (ok, mostly sensible - there was some discussion about crushed velvet suits...) when a voice sung out as it approached my door. A bloke's voice, and not Boaz's from upstairs. Having been focused on the crushed velvet this 'ahoy' gave me quite a start, I might have let slip a bit of a swear word... I'm not sure (shhhh don't tell).

Anyway.

It was my other upstairs neighbour (who shall be known as Panel). He just dropped in to give me a beer (I KNOW) and not just a can or a stubbie... a dirty great longneck... (for translation see this page.) I was so shell shocked I couldn't respond intelligently... (I KNOW). I nodded and smiled, took the proffered VB (I KNOW... not a Corona) thanked him and went back inside a bit befuddled.

I'm still befuddled.

I have a few questions for you Blogosphere... would it have been uncharitable to refuse? Apart from the fact it wasn't a Corona... He got brave enough to make a move... shutting him down might have been a bit harsh, right?

More importantly, should I have foregone the crushed velvet discussion with 'The OC' and invited Panel to split the beer? I feel a bit guilty that I didn't, though between crushed velvet and bootleg software/beer/broken windows (the other conversation topics I've been subject to with Panel and his brother) the crushed velvet was the winner on the day...

I was telling Gem in a later discussion that I'm so not hip to the politics of dating... in my usual circles beer would be the last thing on offer... right after bootleg software (the last gift offered by Panel's brother) so I was pretty un-prepared... Mate, if Panel knew I was a card-carrying Bible babe much like Mary and Boaz (who never miss an opportunity to talk about it with believer and non-believer alike) he'd have had apoplexy... but after having his assistance fixing my window the other day, and now this unexpected gift... it's getting interesting 'round here...
