17.02.00 (Josh Likes ABBA)

[On the train from Gin Gin to Townsville – to being my 2nd year of Uni].

9:30pm

Okay, so he likes ABBA.

Uhm, ohhhhkay!!

Oh, and the BG’s.
Bee Gees… whatever.

Maybe he likes me…?
I wish.

I WISH !?!?!?
Gosh…

His smile is very much like Steve’s.

I went to the toilet and I went past him and Lucille. I stopped to talk to Lucille and since he was listening to …. ABBA …. I didn’t glance down at him at all. Then I see that he’s saying, "Hm" every now and then and I realised he WAS listening to what I was saying! So then i began to talk to him too.

Before I left, I asked him what he was listening to… (Roll my eyes) ABBA. And I cracked up laughing!

"ABBA ?!?!"

Well, as I finally came out of the toilet I noticed he’d turned to look. How was he to know I was coming out unless he’d been watching the door the whole time?

So he reached out and held onto the door leading to the carriage so that I couldn’t open it. He was smiling and wouldn’t let go. And he’s strong too. (Well, he’s got an athletic build so…) I smiled and poked my tongue out. He showed Lucille, she looked over and I laughed quietly ie: without noise. Then he let go. I thought that was real cute.

Then I asked him, "Were you really listening to ABBA?"

"Yes."
"Do you like them?"
"Yes."
"Why?"
"Why not?"
"Cos they’re old… and… I dunno."
Then he said, "What do YOU like?"
It seemed eager. Okay, so I’m reading into things too much.
"Anything and everything. R&B, Latin, dance, Korn & Limp Bizkit -"
" -Eww."
"Well, for someone who likes ABBA…"

He likes disco too. He likes disco dancing.

Um, what’s disco dancing?
Someone?

PS: He smiled warmly and waved as he went past me later on.
