Weird thing

Hmm.

Hah.. forgot to blog something about yesterday.. somethinn which happened after the first rehearsal in the LT with the girls and before lunch when I was sitting on the roof garden of Block M level 4 playing guitar with John. Was talking to Skinny Pole when I suddenly remembered about it (hah, of all things to remember when talking to you XD).

Okay.

So John and I were sitting there on the benches out in the open, but in the shade where there was plenty of breeze, and John had an Ibanez on his lap and me my Telecaster. So we were just jamming the early afternoon away, playing some Pink Floyd, 'I believe In A Thing Called Love' by the Darkness (with me singing and playign at the same time lol), 'Creep' by Radiohead and 'Where Did you Sleep Last Night' by Nirvana, which was meant to be a sort of rehearsal for the presentation later in the day.

So as we were finishing up 'WDYSLN' the both of us heard this girl's voice ask us:

Girl: 'hey!'

Crawldaddy: *turns head* 'yes?'

Girl: 'Is that the song "where did you go last night" by Nirvana?'

CDD: 'Umm "where did you sleep last night", and yes by Nirvana. You know it?'

Girl: 'No lah, I just really like that song... hey play somemore lah!'

At this point in time, John was just smiling and I was like Ohhh My GAWD. I looked at John and said:

'hey, let's play some stuff lah'

John: 'No lah, I've got to get back.. you play lah.. we've played all of the songs we both know.. maybe you play "You're Beautiful" lah' and then he started to unload his guitar off his shoulders and I was like:

'Ehhh, John, don't like this lah.. okay okay let's just play that song'

But she wasn't done yet.

Girl: 'Hey, aren't you the guy from our Orientation?'

CDD: 'Umm you're year two or year one?'

Girl: 'Oh year one'

CDD: 'Uhh yah, I was in charge of ID side.. because I'm from ID, see?'

And thank goodness by then john had sat back down with me and we both leaned against each other's back and started 'You're Beautiful' by James Blunt with me somewhat sarcastically emulating that chipmunk-ey James Blunt voice. John was like shifting all over the place behind me, and it was so dumb because on top of the girl, some of her classmates were also there X

As we ended the song (when I sang the part going 'you're beautiful', she actually said 'why thank you!) she said:

'What's your name?'

CDD: 'Errik, and yours?'

Girl: 'Elizabeth, okay.. I gotta run, see you!'

CDD: 'yep, bye!'

Right.

Now John was just smirking as they left and I was like 'oh man, don't you dare make fun of me', but he just said 'okaaaay..' Argh.. it's frankly quite flattering, but also very scary when a girl plants herself right in front of you expecting you to sing a song. Maybe I'd have been more comfortable playing an acoustic guitar, because you really can't hear anything resonating off a solid-body guitar playing in a slight breeze.

Annd I'm frankly not surprised if John takes the mickey out of me regarding this the next time round I see him.


Cheers,
