The Ab Fab Life

an ab fab life is one where you survive most days defying your accident prone-ness and leave your bones unbroken, where you eat ice cream and where oprah doesn't talk about something really dumb, but gives away free stuff instead this is my ab fab-ness ;)

falling into the crowd

last night we went to go listen to a friend's band (the fabulous newtown) in fuel cafe (in newtown) hee hee... i've only ever been to fuel cafe once before - but was much more enjoyable last night... i mean the place has matresses for chairs (!!) how uber! there was also another band - ultrasound - who were quite good (no bias here) ... but the crowd was very arty farty (in no way do i mean that to be derogatory). shaks, tom and i were just discussing how we dont really have a 'crowd' ... i mean, we're a very PC group (go us!) with one white homosexual boy, one indian catholic and a token white girl (me ... i dont really have any redeeming stand out qualities for this pc thing, actually. i'd better start pulling my weight!) but we don't hang out a lot in the gay crowd (we frequent it, but more of a jump in jump out kinda thing) and we don't hang out with the 'indian' crowd nor with the catholics (i mean i' m catholic too and i love them, but its not a prerequisite for our group or anything) and we dont hang with the 'white, oh-my-god' crowd either. so what are we? we hop around in these groups , generally find ourselves dancing around with all these people. and i guess that's the best thing... not trying to fit into a box or create a 'token' group ... just dance around them... in circles ;)

i love downtown joburg! each one of my friends add something to my life (some in the form of gifts, some more esoteric) and tommy is one of those people who likes to further us culturally. he knows so much about the urban regeneration happening in the city and incites excitement in us about it. and i must just say that jo'burg is looking awesome lately. be gone stereotypes! (eat us, cape town with your HALF a mountain!!)
