Quidditch.

I am one who gets on with trends really really slowly. Take for example Sex And The City, The O.C., The X-Files, Felicity, etc... all of which I am catching/have caught ages after the entire craze was over. And while 70% of the world has probably finished reading Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince (including the previous five), yours truly has finally decided to check out the magic of Harry Potter a few days ago, and is currently stuck at a miserable page 92 of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone (???!!!). I have to admit that it is pretty darn good stuff coming from a woman who started to write the series initially just to "kill time". Murder me please, somebody.

My (recently-becoming-very-alert) gaydar has been picking up strong signals from L over the last few weeks, and sometimes I just wish he'd just come clean with me regarding his ... uh, "preference". Simply because I am totally cool with it and also because I don't want to make the both of us feel awkward if I were to take the initiative to ask him out for a coffee or cake or movie someday. Besides, it doesn't hurt to have an extra person to gush over Brad Pitt and Richard Gere (?)/bitch about why on earth Jennifer Garner ended up with Ben Affleck. But because it's all still a cloud of mystery at the moment, I find it hard to even touch the topic on his love life (now, should I mention females or males? :p) and asking him out one-on-one is just... weird, lest he gets the wrong idea. Of course, there is also a possibility that my gaydar has malfunctioned in this situation and if I were to ask him that question too directly, it might pretty much ruin our barely-a-month-long friendship IF he were a fully-straight man.

I decided to turn to the know-it-all (well, almost ;p) best friend for some pointers on how I could bring up the topic in the most subtle manner possible.

HJ: Just ask him, "Eh are you gay?"

Me: ..... Thanks alot -_-

HJ: Or just ask "When was the last time you had a girlfriend?" If he says "A long time ago", then ask "What about... boyfriend?" ... then wink at him.

Me: ..... har har.

OK, so all this about L's sexual preference doesn't necessarily affect me in any way or other, but I just hope things could be a little bit more out in the open laaaa.

Just when I thought that this sem was going to be dreadfully tiring (with my 5-day week *wails*), I found not one, but two (!!) eye-candies who could possibly make my days here very much brighter!

(1) The guy who works at Starbucks on Collins, who shall be conveniently nicknamed Starbuck from now on (that was a no-brainer, wasn't it?). Yes HJ, that same guy :p

"Hmm... but he doesn't strike me as your type", so Piggy remarked.

"Aiya it's always better to widen your choices..." o.O

Not that I'm going there for coffee everyday from today (;p), but at least I know there is something to look forward to besides my usual caramel macchiato. Also, he could be an incentive for me to study more often? O_o

And there is also (2) My 2nd lecturer for DATTW - American, tall, bald (o.O), and so so full of attitude. As much as I would love to gush and drool, I shan't go into details about the well-defined body that I could barely make out under the shirt... ;p Ok before this post becomes NC-16, I shall stop.

Life is going to be good.

And it's okay if you had to go away
Oh just remember the telephones
Well they're working in both ways
But if I never ever hear them ring
If nothing else I think the bells inside
Have finally found you someone else
And that's okay
'Cos I'll remember everything you sang.
