Today, we're going to teach you some fun facts about Salmon, and a brand new dance...

I suddenly had the urge to write about how Amanda and I met.

It was the first day of tech and, as I expected, I knew nobody. We'd just had a "Welcome Assembly", and I was sitting on some garden edging, because all the people I could see that were in my class didn't look like... My kind of people, should I say. This is where you find out that I am naturally a bogan, naturally because I learned it all from my parents and their friends as a kid. I have a labret and an eyebrow piercing, at the time I had messy, black, ass length hair and just generally looked like a dirty, hardcore bogan. Not dirty as in unclean, just for the record.

Only one girl had really made any eye contact, and smiled back when I smiled at her. She came and sat by me on the garden edging. She was wearing a mid-thigh length, gothic style black dress, heeled boots, stockings, had about five piercings in each ear and light blonde hair. The first thing she said was - "Fuck I need a smoke," and, of course, my reply was - "Fuckin' AYE!". We've been best friends ever since.

Our first criteria were, of course, a fellow smoker, a fellow smoke smoker, a fan of rock, metal, punk, etc. music. It was then that we had the luck to stumble upon Shardae, one of the most awesome fun girls I've met in my life. She is a mummy of one, has the most crack up boyfriend, an entertaining brother and some seriously hot friends. Cough, cough, somebody will know who I'm talking about, I'm sure. We have had some of the funniest times with Shardae, dancing to Yo Gabba Gabba, smoking, drinking, smoking some more. Even in class, we have the funniest conversations. They brighten up my day immensely.

That was just a little dedication, just to show some love and appreciation.
