so here we go. heres some drama for ya!
firstly - can you read this??? - sarahs myspace bulletin that went out this afternoon for the band...
as of now, the band has finished. me and adam decided to leave on saturday, as we'd had enough childish behaviour. as you know, me and sarah have been having problems since july. this week was the last straw and went something like this:
- weds we decided to take a break, start rehearsing again at Xmas time, writing new songs etc. we ALL agreed on this, and i was happy with the decision, even though i said to sarah, in all honesty "i'm not sure if i still wanna do the band, but i'd like to take a break to see how things are in a few months time." adam also agreed with this.
- sarah was chummy with me that night for the first time in 2 months. mainly because, as it turns out, she wanted a lift off me!
- fri, and i'm off to a gig. sarah turns up, i say hi, i get nothing. i say hi again, i get a grunt. say good bye to her later on, i get a grunt. in the meantime i have four seperate people come up to me saying "sarah says your splitting the band up because you hate her".
ok, i suppose its kinda the truth, but she didn't know that. i was trying my hardest to keep the band together as long as i could. nice to know shes making stuff up behind my back though.
- saturday, we have a gig for my mate Wills leaving do. i know she didn't want to to do this cos a) i organised it, b) she didn't like the other bands, c) she thinks Will is weird (he isn;t hes ace).
- sarah txts at 6PM saying shes not coming. something shes eaten has made her ill. this might be the case, but not one person believed her!
- Will is upset because the headliners have also pulled out of the gig, leaving his party down to two bands. I don't want to let my mate down, as he doesn't deserve this. Josh (Fighting Cocks manager) jokingly suggests banning sarah from the pub!
- we salvage the gig by putting the NEW band together. Adam got behind the drums, tony grabbed the bass (and i taught him the songs) and phil stepped up to reprise his role as original mercies singer. we had a blast, and was one of the most enjoyable and chaotic mercies gigs ever. even if it really turned out to be the "unofficial" first gig for the new band.
- adam decides he's had enough. i decided after fridays shenanigans that i've had enough. we end the mercies now.
- try and phone sarah umpteen times on sunday, but she continually hangs up on me, only wanting to communicate by txt. i leave it. i'll catch her tomorrow.
- get home from work today, and shes removed me off her myspace friends list. shes also chanaged the mercies myspace password (which i manage to get back into). although i find this more amusing than annoying, something snaps in me and I TEXT sarah the good news.
"me and adam have decided to jack the band in as of now. we can't take much more etc etc"
yeah, its fucking childish and i'm not proud of it. but what ya gonna do? it was getting to the stage where i could feel my "darkness" coming back, and i had to salvage my mental health and look after myself.
as you can see from the bulletin, she makes out she has no clue why i'm upset (i have told her by the way, numerous times). but really, if someone removes you off their friends list, it kinda says something doesn't it, huh?
i feel a bit bad for the way i did what i did. but she'll get over it. and i for one feel relieved and much happier. and i know adam does too (he's dead excited about the new band).
so, the adventure that was The Small Mercies is over.
onto the next thing. the new bands been offered a gig for november already and we're gonna do it.
on another note, heres some good stuff....my new tattoo design!!!!
can't wait to get this done - starts inking in two weeks time!!
s'laters y'all

Would love to get some decent ones of Phil but I'm never quick enough to get him facing the front!
