After a long absence...
Hey all,
Due to various reasons, i have been very lazy with my blog updates. I'm very sorry to all those spend their days longing to know what James is going to say next. Don't worry, James is making a commitment to focus on what’s important in life.
Now, recently Ed Yorsten had a little Anzac Day Eve party. I got an group email about it, informing me of the date, time and place - as well as the theme. The theme was, according to the email "Super Heroes". I didn't speak to anyone about the bbq before hand and just went along to the place, on that date, and just a little bit after the time - all which were expressed in the email. Now, if you know anything about me, you know i am always ready for a dress up. So, having a vast array of racing suits for swimming, i decided to make use of an old pair. I borrowed an old pair of stockings from my mum, grabbed a red t-shirt and a pair of blue shorts, and I turned to the bbq looking like this:
After I turned round the corner of Ed's place, four thoughts came to mind in the space of about a minute... 1: Superiority, "You guys are so lazy and crap - you're supposed to dress up!".... 2: Confusion, "Wait a sec... no one is dressed up, what's going on?".... 3: Disappointment and fear "Oh no - it was a joke - i fell for it - everyone is laughing and pointing!".... 4: Self-assurance, "Whatever, nothing i can do about it now. And i look cool."
I could have done the bolt to my car and grabbed a pair a trackies and a jumper that were in there, and after seeing me, Ed offered me some clothes to get changed into. But, by that stage, as i mentioned before, i had assured myself that i looked cool, and therefore stayed as i was.
I actually had a great night, and after a while and an initial chuckle, everyone just got used to the fact that when it was time to go home, i would probably just swing on outta there by my web.
So - I pose the question... what would you do in that same situation? Or, if you have been in a similar situation, what did you do? Can't wait to hear your responses!
Oh yeah - and thanks again Ed. Who'd have thought that MTS staff would lie? Not me!

This is not the first time james has attended a party wearing his mums stockings…..
i know ed therefore i knew not to dress up... he's done this to ppl before...
but if there is a dress up party i'm always on the conservative side, being the shy sorta gal that i am (and yeah, i'd have probably kept the spare clthes in my car and gotten into them).
just out of curiosity, did anyone else tell you that you looked cool? :)
(and welcome back)
Telstra Payphone SMS - I know who you are
James Says: I don't need anyone else to tell me i look cool :P Also, jodi you have no need to be shy - you rock! And I for one have definately seen your non-shy side!
Now, can anyone elighten me as to the meaning of the random post by anonymous?
James Also Says: If you're going to comment on my blog - at least have the guts to provide your name. Sick of anonymous posts.
as true now as when it was written
That was SO not me
I once had an embarasing moment similar to this....when i was 7. One of my buddies and I used to talk (how novel an idea) at school and he told me his party was dress up. No malicious intent (Ed). Just 7 yr old guys talkin crap. So i turned up to his party dressed as a sailor. Yea tops choice i know. Wisdom of the 7 yr old mind obviously coming to the fore. When i turned up everyone was in the driveway playing a game. And yea everyone pointed and laughed (might be the root of some of my insecurities these days). I cried. Ran to the car. And i can't really remember wat happened next. I think i took off my hat and enjoyed the sugar filled fun afternoon in Epping.
So i feel ya pain man. PS. Thanks heaps for your help last night. YOU DA MAN!
James, Laurel says that you are one of the funniest people on the planet (Laurel is using the third person in the "james says" spirit). At the moment Laurel has a firm belief that anytime is a good time for fancy dress. So, if Ed had invited LAUREL to the party (which, he didn't, and she's a little upset about it) she would have dressed as a Wondertwin in either the guise of a bucket of water or an ice ladder. (Not sure which, both are incredibly useful and powerful--(particularly the ice ladder).
