Hiya sweetie. I'm planing to get the whole cd finished in about 2 weeks cos we're off on tour then and I want to take it with us. They're gonna be limited editon, numbered cd's, so they'll be extra special.
About the whole straight edge thing... basically, I used to drink a lot, I mean like I was drunk 24/7. After I'd paid my rent, the rest of my money went on booze. I wasn't eating properly, I was getting extremely sleazy. During a 6 month period, my then girlfriend had a miscariage, we split up, she found out she was HIV+, I had to go get tested, then she finds out she's pregnant again. It was all a massive shock to the system, and I turned to alcohol to help me through it. My life became even more of a mess...
It was only when I realised that I had a child on the way that it all hit home. I gave up booze over night. It was seriously hard work, but that was 18months ago now.
Anyway, to fill in the blanks, it turned out that I wasn't the father of the baby after all (my ex was a bit of a slag) and I'm not HIV+ *phew*
So yeah, thats why I gave up drinking.
End of Peter's life story.
i don't think you have a problem with drinking unless you get to the point where you wake up in the middle of your street and don't know how you got there (didn't happen to me personally, but to a worker.)
Hmmmm...maybe i'll have to check out this secretary movie if it ever comes to the US (Aussie movies tend to take a long time if ever to get out here) I am however looking forward to the release of NEd Kelly whenever that comes out.
sounds like you had a better weekend than me! i was sober everyday and i was just lazy and watching movies and hanging out in SG chat.
have fun with the band! never ever avoid alcohol. lol
Sare
i got creemed on my vespa by a van. it caused me to spend about 2 1/2 months in the care of the hospital folks. what a way to spend part of my summer vacation!
youre from Oz, huh? cool. my sister, brother-in-law, and nephew live in melbourne and my mom is there visiting them right now. they went on a camel trek across part of the outback a couple of months ago and my sister said shes been surfing and snorkeling a little too. neato.
urm yeah.... planning to move to Melbourne next year... I've just got to organise it around my schooling... so yeah something logistically tharts going to be hard... gload to hear your feeling better about your hair sweety.... I got mine done for $280 all up that included the hair she put in ... its really cheap... its great..
yeah I hope the skanks leave town and leave us real mistresses to rule the roost... but my boss is such a money hungry pig that she'll keep them around cause they fix her computer for her and do things around the house for her.....
get reccomendations on hair dressers... and go to Toni and Guy you cant go wrong there if you tell them exactly what you want...
i mean they should think about things more... they should realise that one inch shorter on someone could make them cry ya know?
not me, i dont get violent, necessarily. i just get ampified. whatever i feel at the time increases tenfold. although, speaking of being thrown out of bars, i got into an actual bar brawl once (but this was years ago, before i was even 21) and ya know bottles dont break on peoples heads like they do in movies.
but pool cues do
