Wow, what a surprisingly fun evening. First, 3 hours of team practice. Managed to mess up Waltz and Quickstep completely with both Anne Marie and Phyllis by getting confused by the V6 and overturning all my spin turns. Some of time was also spent chatting to Jennifer about how annoying Andy (the team captain) can be - especially to beginners (ironic really). And then (and this is the fun bit) I went to a casino with John, Alex Kostas and Jennifer.

Scarily posh place. In fact three of changed into our ballroom shoes because trainers are definitely allowed in. Didn’t actually do any gambling if you were wondering - just kept having free soft drinks. For the record: Blackjack $5 minimum bet, 3 card Poker $10 ante and Roulette $1 minimum bet.

I got a message from Shaun as well. He just asked if I was still alive…

I got all impulsive again and bought a Christmas present for Mel. Not sure when it will arrive as I ordered it from America. Should be cool though :o)

No free referrals with Clickthru, but almost $1 Clickthru cash a day - that’s twenty visitors. And that’s for not doing anything. Pretty cool. Of course it only works because I happen to have found one of the few things on the internet that actually monetizes crap traffic.

Ha, something odd just occurred to me. What sort of site could I make that gets tons of crap traffic? It’s a possibility once I get home…

I also added the Links page last night.

Well I was impulsive and signed up to Clickthru Rewards for $16.95. So I need to make approximate $40 in two years of these domains to get my money back. Should be a doddle :o)

More about dancing :o) Yesterday I saw a girl there who I met at the very first class I went to - never seen her since. And I think she has a girlfriend. The guy Rosy is always with turned up today without Rosy (but she did turn up later). Not really conclusive either way. A strangely adulant woman was there again - I don’t remember seeing since the second Salsa IC Salsa class. And I still prefer dancing with Anne Marie.

The beginners’ team practice was a bit odd today. Dorothy seemed to be having a go at everyone a lot, but was doing so cheerfully. Although there was one thing she said that to me seemed way out of line: One of the girls who hasn’t been going very long was having trouble with the V6 and was dancing with Sherwin. Dorothy pointed out that Sherwin had managed to get it right with everyone else he danced with so it must be her fault. Probably true but still nasty…

Last night after the Latin sliver class (an hour of solid Jive by the way) I did an odd psychology test for Jennifer. It was basically to see if your emotional state affected what type of words you remembered. I said I performed worse than I should have done because I had to count for five seconds myself per word (when I should have been concentrating more on remembering the words). She said it was to counteract my abnormally high IQ. What the? Okay so I’m doing a Math’s degree, but I’m not doing it at Imperial. Which means anybody else there has a better claim to that little piece of fame.

Hmm, getting traffic to gambling-online.me.uk from ClickThru. Worthless traffic normally but for this it works.

Ballroom Beginners’ Team class today. This should be the day Phyllis finds out she has been partnered with me - a decision based entirely on height.

Well I’ve started marking the domains with ClickThru. Not as bad as FFA pages but not wonderful.

The dance classes were fun today. Salsa was same as usual - not enough moves to do to make the dancing really fun. Latin is getting better though. We’ve nearly finished the silver Jive routine. So far we have the following routines: bronze Jive, bronze Cha Cha, silver Jive, silver Cha Cha and silver Rumba. As well as bronze Waltz and bronze Quickstep. I’ve decided I will start turning up to the silver Ballroom classes as well.

This one isn’t pointless :o). Since I’m going to be writing some PHP scripts to automate a lot of this, I’m going to end up with a reasonably well featured blogging site. Now here’s a clever bit: Find some high trafficked UK blog hosted on a free blog service. Then contact the author offering to host it for free along with a domain (.me.uk of course) with a small amount of advertising put on it. Then repeat. Whadya think everybody? Of course this will be after we get the new server.

I feel I should point something out: the time and date shown refer to when an entry was written. This only loosely coincides with when events happen. Basically I write things down when I think of them which sometimes confuses the order a little bit

Wohoo! Apparently someone visited love-online.me.uk and clicked a link. My account has been credited with $0.49. Wow.

I’m running out of things to say. Unfortunately I don’t really have anything to do until my dancing classes tonight (Salsa, Latin Bronze and Latin Silver. All at Imperial College) at 6 o’clock. So expect a lot of pointless rambling.

Just had an odd experience. I was leaving the Octagon at university and was pleasantly surprised to meet a girl from the ULU Salsa class last Friday. Didn’t really say much and to be honest it isn’t that significant an event. It’s just the first time I’ve met someone from a dance class outside the dance class.
