SGUK are doing FAQ blogs so thought I'd join in!
Are those real tattoos?
No I'm just fucking brilliant with a set of multi coloured biros!
Did they hurt?
Yes, yes they did.
What does the writing on your wrists say?
Fear and Desire
?!?
It's a quote from my favourite film
?!?
You have to guess I'll only give you a clue or tell you if I like you If you guess it I will most likely want to marry you on the spot!
Do you wanna see my bulldog and union jack tattoos?
Well not rea oh yeah, they're um lovely!
Can I wear your glasses?
Probably not Again unless I like you
So what exactly is your job?
Deep breath I work for a vegetarian wholefoods cooperative, it's a workers coop so we all get paid the same and we all own a share of the company. We also all have one vote towards decisions made within the company. I do different jobs throughout the week, the different jobs I do are sales, customer support, reach truck driving/team coordinating, cooking for about 100 people. Does that help?
What are you writing?
Nothing now, I'm talking to you! grrr
What you reading for?
Well, godammit, ya stumped me! Why do I read? Well... hmmm... I dunno... I guess I read for a lot of reasons, and the main one is so I don't end up being a fucking waffle waitress. (Ok not an FAQ, but it's an excuse to get one of the best quote ever in there Also I did actually get asked this once and I was so surprised that I forgot the quote and just looked at them with a look of utter distain!)
What are you reading?
Nothing now, I'M TALKING TO YOU!
So when you going back to America?
I wish!!!!! Goddamn US visa people hate us UK types!!!
You have a pretty face, why don't you have a boyfriend? (I did not make this up, 2 separate people at work said this to me over the last 2 weeks!!!)
We you basically just said the rest of me apart from my face is a bit crap so that's probably why ta for that btw!
Why don't you look like any of your SG profile pics?
Because I can't figure out how to change the size of photos since I switched to Macs!
You like films don't you?
Why yes I do!
Have you seen Mama Mia?
No I fucking haven't
Are you going to go see it?
No I'm fucking not
Why? It looks funny!?!
No it fucking doesn't, it looks like a film made for people who don't like films! Plus if I wanted to see someone fanny about whilst singing ABBA songs badly I'd watch my Mum tidy up on a Sunday morning!
So have you seen any good films lately?
Always a good way to start a conversation with me if you have nothing else to say to me and can't stand silence J And the answer is more than likely yes!

no, i agree, the wharf is totally touristy and tacky, and definately wouldn't recommend it as a "great hang out" for people!
wasn't that big on the mission. spent a fair bit of time on Valencia St, but that was about it. We had breakfast at Hollys restaurant Boogaloos a few times on 22nd and Valencia, and obviosuly went to Zeitgiest a lot.
Holly took us out in the Tenderloin more, which was awesome - theres three bars really close to each other just up from Geary that we kinda rotated. Hemlock, Edinboro Castle and Whiskey Thieves.
Managed to catch up Vortext yesterday in the end. everyone really came through for us again, which was ace, cos the gig was a shambles. our drummer didn't turn up, so we had to hastily re-arrange the line up of the band!!! ARGH!
You know its only just hit me how relevant 'the internet is for porn' song is to sg.
hmmm... think i may need to start doing suddoku or something.
