hola
haven't dropped by in a while, have i? too busy with college/work/timewasting/youtube to bother really. didn't even get to the cinema to see superman returns. not even been to a gig in ages, too. indian summer was probably the last one, and that could have gone better. riverside club is good though, enjoying working there even though utter gutter there was heaving. didn't finish until 4:15 am, not home til 6 am. bummer.
honestly, been using myspace a bit more than this place recently. go with the crowd and that. easier to find bands i like on it though, so THERE!
college college college college is no fun at all. well, some fun, like writing scripts and learning about newspapers and just how evil rupert murdoch is. but all the work and reports and all the RESEARCH is just dull. make it stop.
anyone who doesn't own a copy of the new rapture album, begged borrowed or stolen, is a gay.
trying for a second job in topshop/topman to-night. wish me well, if not luck. just can't get by on this student-loan-every-few-months-and-one-part-time-job-wage thing you all seem to do. even if it was not great pay before, it was still full-time money weekly/monthly and i'm having even more trouble budgeting than normal.
why didn't i watch adam and joe when it was on TV?

What a difference five weeks make. Talk about frustrating, huh? I don't even think I'll make it through the rest of the trial never mind get a permanent contract. I simply can't seem to do it. My bosses are patient, and I did have a woeful start at this career, but you can only blame other people and situations on so much for so long. Soon it all comes back to you and I'm not sure I'm good enough. Everything else is dandy which makes it even more annoying. I get on well with everyone, I work hard, I put the effort in, I adore the job... but actual ability? I dunno, I can be very harsh on myself at the best of times - and perhaps I'm just whinging cos it's easy and fun - but I'm having a bit of a shocker.
In other news Diplo, Lightning Bolt and Yeah Yeah Yeahs were all stellar. Lightning Bolt in particular was good fun, I nearly got impaled on the drums along with half the crowd. Gonna go to Optimo this Sunday for the Bush Tetras. I know one song, but it's a doozy and I bet they put on a damn good show. Plus I'm still kinda annoyed I never went to see A Certain Ratio a few weeks ago.
April is great, so she is. Puts up with all my shite and everything. Must remember to do something lovely for her.
First time online in ten days. Oh, the changes...

My new job rocks. I'm having fun and enjoying the job again, which is great. They're much more strict, which is great for learning, I have a contract, I charge decent prices for what I do... just sooooooo much better. And as a result, I'm much happier about everything in general. Plus, weekly pay might mean I get some saving done. But I'm pleased with things just now.

Got my new job. Well, got-esque. A trial. Three days, and then a contract on Saturday if all goes well. Which it will, cos they loved me so they did. I can be way impressive when I actually bother my arse. Shame I don't always apply that rule of thought to everyday life, but hey, no one is perfect.
I need to get to the cinema sometime soon. Missing all the good films.
Got some tickets for Yeah Yeah Yeahs and Sleater-Kinney next month. Karen O is swell.
I'll be turning 23 soon. I'd invite you all out, but I'm not doing anything for it. Feel free to send cards or alcohol in the mail though.
This entry has been economical.

Interests and that...
bobby conn:
I just love Bobby Fucking Conn. He's entertaining, diverse, talented, has the voice of a horny drugged-up angel and sings about sex and cocaine all the time. What's not to love? His albums are solid gold and you should all own at least one.
converse all stars:
They look good, they're relatively cheap and they go with almost all my clothes. A shoe for all seasons (apart from the rain).
drinking:
Real men get drunk.
getting mail:
Getting letters in the post is always a nice wee surprise. I once put an ad in Rock Sound so I would get mail. I got about 40 responses. I'm more embarrassed about reading Rock Sound than anything else.
james ellroy:
I've just recently added him to my interests, but it dosen't make it any less relevant to me. The Black Dahlia is one twisted headfuck of a novel and his writing is just wonderful, really gripping and authentic.
music:
We're all here cos we like music.
penguins:
Cutest animal in the kingdom, coolest walk in the kingdom and they're always dressed real snappy.
sleeping in:
More than ever, getting up for work has become a major hassle for me and I can't even manage to get out of bed at least 30 minutes after my alarm has went.
talking:
I'd rather be in a pub talking to you all right now than this internet pish. But I don get a couple of minutes to think things through before I say them here.
twin peaks:
Dale Cooper is the fucking man. That dude off 24 and all these CSI berks got fuck all on Coop.

I made more money today in three hours of work than the girl who I simply want to die did all day. This isn't a regular occurence. Why do we still employ her? Why hasn't she realised how crap she is? Why must she persist in having no personality? Why do I let myself get worked up so?
Anyway, I'm doing just super.

I'm gonna head out looking for work again on Tuesday coming. I can't keep going into that fucking shop all the way in the sticks anymore cos it is dead-end and I can do better than that. I'm now all confused as to what I might actually do now. Get another hair job in Glasgow, move out, go to uni, save and go abroad for a bit, take a crap call-centre job, go on the dole...the possibilities are endless, aren't they?

This year, for Christmas, I got my sister the same thing she bought me. The fact that we bought each other Patrick Bateman figures worries me more than the coincidence.
I think our parents were mildly dissapointed.

Let's sum up the last few weeks, then.
Work is shit, but I'm gonna think things through before killing everyone with my bare hands and get another job before I leave.
The mean people at the bank are mad I cos I forgot to pay the last installment of my loan. Keep 'em waiting 'til I HAVE money then they get some nice charges on it too.
Haven't been 'out an about' too much either. I went to Club Noir, which I LOATHED and hope never to return unless I have to cos everyone else is. But I won't be happy about it.
The Cathouse look alright now.
Kanye West is mah nigga.
I wanna do Stampede! when Luke leaves again.
I have no hair. Well, a number four. But you know what I meant.
Work and money aside my life fucking ROCKS! April is a big factor in that. But you knew that already.
I want superpowers.

So a workmates boyfriend come in to work today looking ship-shape in a nice suit today and I make the old, "off to court?" gag today. He shrugs and walks off into the back.
Actually Joseph, he is off to court today. For an assault charge.
:S
Almost as great as the time I thought that wee girl was a boy in the Megabowl.
