Today me and my bandmate recorded our first EP. Took twelve hours. Three tracks, twenty minutes in length. Kevin (my partner in crime) blew takes on the first track roughly eight MILLION times because he was over thinking everything. Surprisingly, however, the second and third tracks we absolutely nailed on the first try. Which, considering 99% of what we do is improv'd on the spot, isn't too shabby.

Now we have to figure out what the hell we're going to name these tracks. And we're waiting for our 100 cd slip-covers to come in so that we can put together the album artwork and junk.

I'm goddamn exhausted, but too wired to sleep.

new member here, still getting feet wet.:wave:

last night was our Christmas Celebration at home, since we are going away on Wednesday. first time i did something like this "a week early", but it turned out great!

I've just finished my first set of final exams, hence my long barely noticeable (id imagine) absence from this forum, the exams went so-so when i needed them to go so-so to good in order to get marks for masters entry.

prob didnt succeed mostly as a result of smoking too much weed, i somehow convince myself getting a bit stoned to listen to music and read study material is an acceptable form of exam preparation

pretty ****ing pissed at myself now though, especially as my first two exams went well and i just imploded on the last two. also had a panic attack during an exam first time iv ever had that happen iv never cared anywhere near enough about exams to get panicky so that just freaked the hell out of me

im lying in bed now just after my exam listening to hospice, contemplating going to whipping boy on wed and being blissfully stoned, i guess nothing ever really changes, we just, stop, think and go all the same!

Tonight I was taking a walk and looked up into the sky just in time to see a shooting star pass right above me.

Did you make a wish?

having a X'mas party here but i'm tired as heck

I am a bit miserable as all the snow has melted. We had loads of it on Sunday, and I took some very nice pictures.

I suppose there's a lot more to come in the next two months, though.

quite a perv's paradise just now

lotsa downblouse and upskirt

At least keep your browsing sessions separate.

Watch porn, then open a new tab to tell everyone on music Banter all about it..... grim, Duce, very grim.

i mean as in peeping real people, not on the Net, d'oh!

Got stopped by the police last night. My champion of a cousin took the blame and he got charged with possession of Cannabis. I feel awful man. He always said he would but I didn't think it'd be necessary for him to ever do it. Getting a fine too that we'll split in half :( I'm skint too :(. FFFFUUUUUUU.

Only Losers do drugs.

only winners gamble

Watch out man, that might mean the moon is on it's way down.

You used that as an opportunity to advertise your journal, right? Meaning we should all check out those albums right this instant. :D

Only virgins think that.

This is one of the things I like about all my Scottish relatives: they will always stick up for you if you're in trouble. They don't expect anything in relurn, they just stick by you.


Ahh, now that makes it all fine.

Absolutely, I'd have done the exact same thing for him if his licence were on the line.

It's just something about the scottish culture. We have a strong sense of family obligation.
Fancy starting a scottish social group here? You, me, James and Mankycaaant?

My day's off to a flying start (or at least will be in 3 hours). I had 4 nightmares in a little over 6 hours. It's weird because normally I never dream, and nightmares are an even rarer occurrence, so to have 4 in tandem is really off. The last one was easily the worst and the one I didn't stick around for, but essentially I had just moved back to Vancouver and was staying in a crummy hotel room with all my stuff. I went out for the day and night and when I came back everything was strewn about, yet nothing was taken. For whatever reason I decided to take my French workbook with me and someone had it open on the desk with writing inside. I can't remember what exactly was written in it but I know my name was in it.

The other dreams were messed up as well, like in one where I beheaded a vengeful ghost (it's a really long story), but before the aforementioned decapitation there was a lot of death.

The middle dream was the most surreal and makes my head hurt just thinking about it and trying to explain it, so I won't bother.

Finally the last dream didn't really have any paranormal or supernatural activity in it, I was just being sued for something (I think it had to do with all the stuff I may or may not have pirated).

Yep... great start to my day.

Wow!

Interesting that beheading people and being sued are manifesting in your subconsciousness. Mine usually involve me having sex then being killed in a gunfight.
And I don't play games or watch porn. Weird, huh?

I wish my dreams were interesting, I usually dream about places I've been to, or places I think I've been to. When I go back to places I've been in my dreams, the negative things are usually exaggerated, and things feel very alien. I remember I dreamed about the apartment I used to live in and how there was this very narrow section with a supposed mother around a burning barrel. I think I had a lawn mower for some reason and I was running over cardboard boxes that had presents in them, and she freaked out because she was poor and she spent all of her money on them for her kid.

My dreams are strange, but not very interesting.

EDIT: I remember there being a lot of styrofoam peanuts when I went on my lawnmower rampage.

^^incidentally, i just woke up from a dream where I was Iron Man, and I was tracing some mad scientist's remote control signals to a rampaging hot air balloon, with Pepper Potts

Had a really nice day with my friends who all go to separate universities today. Not seen most of them in months. Was fab.

I haven't been feeling horribly social lately, but I've been at way more parties and on way more social excursions than usual. Maybe I'm not being antisocial; I think I'm just completely drained at this point.

I don't like being exhausted, not really desiring of huge social events, but feeling obligated to paste a smile on, socialize, and be super-friendly. I seriously sleep for twelve hours+ every time I do that. Probably not a good thing.

I am not very social until it comes to the times I am invited to something I want to attend. Then I am one of the most talkative people there.

I just braved the mall for 3 hours helping my boyfriend do Christmas shopping. It was horrible but we got everything done. Now I have to find something half-decent to wear because he just informed me that we're going to his parents house for dinner tonight. It's the first time I am meeting them and I hope it goes over well :/

I hope that won't be awkward like when I met my girlfriend's parents!

But seriously, don't worry, they are probably going to say "we've heard all about you!" and try and be as nice as possible. Hope it goes well!

Maybe it's harder to meet the girl's parents. I think people are generally more protective of their daughters, especially the dads. I remember when my boyfriend met my parents a couple of months ago, my dad interrogated him like he was a serial killer or something. I know he meant well but it was so embarrassing. I just wanted to crawl into a hole and die. I guess it was because I'm "Daddy's Little Princess" :laughing:! My mom really likes him, though.

I'm terribly shy, and I won't talk a lot until I get to know someone better, so I'm hoping my boyfriend will be able to mediate some kind of conversation.

After about 5 months of having no laptop, I finally have set up my new second hand Acer that I got for the price of free, no complaints here. Music library is all in after about 7 hours of importing and sleep deprivation, and I'm ****ing excited!!!
but...
Had a meeting with a Diversion counselor (got caught with cannabis), 600 word essay, community service, and group therapy...hu-fuckin-rray.

Back in America! effin' months of traveling. loved it and hated it. but i am happy to be back. i still think this is the best country for me.

i'm pretty asocial, normally

not anti-social, different connotations

I got caught two nights ago aswell :( luckily my best mate took the blame otherwise my licence wouldve been on the line. Its balls isn't it?

Meeting my boyfriend's parents went over surprisingly well yesterday. Not awkward at all like when he met my parents.

having pretty bad vertigo

I was riding with my buddy this evening, and he said he'd drop me off at my place. At the end of the road, the state troopers had a road block going on.

The cop was hassling my buddy, giving him complete hell and making him dig around for insurance and stuff, calling in to see if he had any priors, etc. etc. - in other words, not what they normally do at our road checkpoints. Finally, he asked where my buddy and I were headed and I finally could be silenced no more. I said very pleasantly that he was dropping me off at my house because we both had to go Christmas shopping in the morning, and my buddy nodded still digging through his papers. The cop smiled at me, suddenly super-friendly and said, "Oh, you guys are good to go. Drive safe."

Cops love me. I also had a quarter ounce of bud on me. :laughing:

Story of my life. I've never been patted down or searched. Once, at a concert I set off a metal detector because of my belt, I guess...and I had some bud in my sock. The security guard looked at me, smiled, said, "You look harmless, go on," and just let me walk in.

I highly devious demeanor.

spent most of the day being a witness

quite fun, actually, i was needling and flirting with my inquisitor lawyer

You just broke my heart.

I envy you, I got an eighth took off me two night ago. Raging. Worst feeling ever. Didn't get searched or that so we still had a pre rolled joint that we had just sparked up when the cops pulled in. So had a packin' joint for the way home *silver lining ;)*
