"Look, you want to make it home safe, right? So just give me 30p."
"You're threatening me over 30p? Are you fucking serious? Your friend already tried picking my pocket, and now you're trying to shake me down over 30 fucking pence?"

Wish me luck ... I'm trying to land a job with a pretty hot-shit catering company that pays damn well. If I get it, I'll be making about twice what I really want to make as a minimum income level to live in London and not go home completely broke this summer.
Hot.
That's about all for now ... but the weekend looms, and with...

O i just read your previous journal entry, regarding the quiet trip in london, you sure you just arent going deaf???? 
"Where is your shirt?"
"Over on that chair with my jacket."
Yeah ... the SGUK meet ended at Industrial Club Night, Upstairs at the Garage, and I was a dancin' fool. Now, gang, I'm no dancer, but with a head full of whiskey I become a shirtless dancing maniac, so there you have it.

haha pass some of the good 2005 this way!
Fucking pissed off.
Got to school today, and found out that they screwed my class schedule all kinds of weird ways. Fucking bastards. They're taking in more new students than they can really handle, and as a result, instead of having 3 days of class a week, I have 4, but at stupid times for short amounts of time, but at PERFECT times that leave...

hello chief. was bloody good to have met you
So I basically started drinking on Tuesday, 7 December, right after I finished my final exam for last term, and haven't really stopped, except for a couple days at my dad's house in Texas, and a couple nights last week.
Not that there's that much difference between that and how I've lived the previous 3 months in London anyways, but still ....

It's a tradition with Pogues songs, the good thing is it your drunk enough you can sound just like Shane McGowan whilst stillbeing clueless about the lyrics.
I need a hobby, is the thing. Something to do with my time that doesn't involve spending loads of cash and killing my liver.
Any (realistic) suggestions?

Wel, drunk again, as if that's any surprise. Going to crash at my pad soon, 6am style, if that matters to you.
Back from TX on Tuesday and mostly been drunk ever since, so I'm taking it easy the next few days to sort of correct the balance.
NYE was well fun, partied at the Ship til almost 6am just cuz that's how it...

Thanks, dude--even driving around, going to truckstops and such, it's hard to find a place like that anymore.

There I was, wearing nothing but my briefs and a pair of boxing gloves, pounding the crap out of a scrawny loon from Ghana who was similarly clad, when his girlfriend (a 19-year-old from Maine who doesn't dare tell her family that she's dating a black man in London) tackled me from behind and sent me down. I twisted as I was falling...

Smart tattoo. And you had quite a week!
I saw The Damned & Sham 69 in the listings - which i wouldn't have minded seeing if I'd been aware of it a few weeks ago - but didn't realise all those other old-school punk bands were on too
. Or was that a different show? the one I noticed was either the Astoria or Mean Fiddler (can't remember all the names these days). One hell of a gig anyway. How long did it run for?
Have a good Christmas (once you've got over the flight)
See you in the new year then - sans injuries I hope
Have a good one (& if you are online over there watch for yet another name change (just for Christmas )
Ciao

Tattoo is finished, pics up soonish. Looks fucking awesome.
Bank account is overdrawn ... oops. Should have made this phone call to my broker a few days ago. Now I've got 38 to get me through til I can make a stock sale, wait for the trade to settle, and get the cash wired to my account. All this could take up to 2 weeks....

Should have done this request sooner, congrats on the job and great seeing you again Saturday.
So the big surprise of the weekend was that I got absolutely spannered at the SGUK meet-up.
Oh, wait ....
Anyways
Got my nipple piercings stretched up to 4ga on Sunday. Going to stretch my navel to a 6ga after the tattoo is all finished and healed, which I'm finishing on Thursday. The chick that stretched me (can never remember her name) has two enormous...

you... were drinking? 
this entire weekend was a beer fest... gave me a bad boiler... this weekend will be more of a vodka kind of week, need to lay off the hops and barley for a bit...
full on drinking season is almost over anyway, i don't party as much when the snow falls... nothing worse than being hung on the hill.

Jesus Mary and good old Joseph!!! Dont know how you could stay up that late on sun!
Well I had a hangover up untill yesterday. Got a courtorder (courtesy of my liver) which prevents you from coming near me with a drink within 50 metres. So there!
Well how did the reading go then?

Working at the Ship is hilarious. More on that another time.
Skipped Sick of it All / Slapshot tonight ... 17.50 is just too much. I love SOIA but I've seen them enough times in the past. The only real draw for me was Slapshot, who I've wanted to see for 15 years, but I'll wait til I go back to the States and don't...

hm, not sure if marie looks like me, its difficult to say from my own perspective, but she's certainly very pretty! wow, she starred in many popular films! most of her recent ones have been recommended by my sister!
I want to get an amulett done that I lost, at the back of my neck. its three cats entwined like snakes in black, if you want to look, here scroll down the page, its on the left, #189. it won't let me post the pic, probably protected.
I wanna go and talk to the guys from into you tomorrow, cakemix recommended them to me. ever been there? where did you get yours done?

Hey there o evil one! You are the nemesis of my liver!! I almost died at work today, at one point I just felt like cowering in a little corner and pray to Jebus (as homer would say) to come and take me.
you're a true thug.
and i'm hungry too.
I find that although I'm not completely ignorant of 999 or Mad Parade, I don't own any - that usually means either I've not got round to it yet, or that I'm not all that interested. (If you look at my amazon wish list, you'll see I'm still working on gathering CDs of everything I once had on tape - or still have on vinyl) I only put the list up because somehow, when people look it over, they seem suddenly to have a better idea of who I am. (Which is interesting because I have looked it over many times yet still have no clue who I am ;o)
The squares.... Tee hee! I generally go about my life as I wish - sometimes with deliberate attempts to scare the straights - but that's generally drunken behavior and I will not be held accountable for it! Or maybe I should demand to be held accountable? Fuck it. I'm me and that's all there is to it. Generally though, I do view life as an adventure. It was quite an adventure when I accidentally drove to Mexico - but that is a little tale for another day. I thank my mother for always making even the mundane somehow adventurous - so that now I am not put off by "real life" adventures! Now, if only I could learn to spell....
