Yeah i'm grade 10 too, 15 years old. Well i used to be in grade 10 - year 11 next year :upset:

My sister recently finished year 12 and said year 11 and 12 were incredibly torturous. :upset: So thatssomething to look foward to over summer.

I heard grade 11 was the hardest, so im not really looking forward to it at all, my sister is in grade 12 at the moment and it graduating this year, hopefully she moves out too :lol:

Haha, 10th graders.


/patronising++


So, today was the first day after university broke up, and consequently work was dead, apart from the few people who brough mummy and daddy in for dinner before heading off home. I love it when it's really quiet - you just sit around and read the papers and drink free Pepsi. And get paid for it! Yes.

Haha yeah no chance over here. Mine is unbelievably lazy. She only just got her Ls for driving and she's 17 or 18 or something, so there's not really any chance she'll be moving out anytime soon. :upset:

Is it snowing much where you are?

i get free pepsi at work :smoke:

/we got about 30 cm of snow just the other day :eek:

I don't work/don't get free pepsi. :upset:

[QUOTE=Ostrich Man]I don't work/don't get free pepsi. :upset:[/QUOTE]

Sir, I suggest (when you're old enough) a bar. A quiet one. Then you can follow in my footsteps.


My favourite thing about having unlimited access to the Pepsi pump and cordial bottles is coming up with wierd combinations of flavours. Mixing half Pepsi and half lemonade is fun, as is a pint of Pepsi with some lemonade syrup in it. Although I do strongly recommend mixing blackcurrant or lime with either Pepsi or lemonade. Sweet to the degree that you can get away with not eating for days. As, indeed, I have not.


So, what's up, guys?

*whispers* Nothing much over here but Fish is studying for a physics test so

Shhhhhh....

Hey guys, sorry if you've seen this already, but I'm whoring it to everyone at the mo. It is pretty cool: [url]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v675/billiejoe84/WakeUpCall.jpg[/url]


Wednesday night fun times.

Yeah, but:

Job = money = HARD(ISH) WORK

*starts singning minority* :p

/i work at a golf course in the kitchen, and we do banquets and dinners and stuff as well during the winter, and its honestly one of the easiest things ever. At first it was kinda hard but now that I know everyone its so much fun.

[QUOTE=Fish]*starts singning minority* :p[/QUOTE]

Indeed, sir. Although you should sing 'World Full Of Hate' as that's what we were playing there.

That looks like a nice gig. Which one are you?

oops :p

cover When I Come Around, and send it to me, I love that song, and its fun to play

/hes the curly haired one!!!

/wait, never mind you can't really tell because his hair blends in with the tree in the backround :p

[QUOTE=Ostrich Man]That looks like a nice gig. Which one are you?[/QUOTE]

The guy looking at the camera playing guitar. It really was serious fun times.

Yes, I am aware it looks like I have a Christmas tree on my head. But yes, I can do When I Come Around easily. When I get a new top e string I can do it by myself, as I can play all of the parts.


/multi-talented

How many turned up to watch?

stop talking about it!! You make me want a gig so bad :(

/sweet, WICA is probably one of my favorite songs to cover

What do you play?

Ahahahaha! I love making people jealous.


I reckon there was about 30 people there... The girl who took the photo was mid-crowd anyway. The whole room was packed, people standing on the sofa at the back, etc.


/further jealousy-inducing :p

:mad:

[QUOTE=Fish]:mad:[/QUOTE]

If it makes you feel better, the nerves you can get just before you start playing are almost enough to make you think twice about it. Then you start playing the first song and everyone stops talking and watches you, and you just think what a stupid idea this was.


And then you sing your first line and forget all about the audience until the last bar of the last song. It's pretty wierd.

Were there other bands there or was it just you guys performing?

hmm.. so you're the lead singner? I guess you'd get pretty nervous at first, but when everyone starts cheering for you its like ..... :smoke:

[QUOTE=Ostrich Man]Were there other bands there or was it just you guys performing?[/QUOTE]

Nah, we were second out of three bands. We got by far the biggest cheers and most people watching though. It was mint. Especially as it was our first gig playing with proper PA and drumkit and stuff, and also our first gig playing mostly originals. I can't wait for our next one now.


Edit: To Fish: No, we have a Blink-style 2-vocalist setup. Rik and I share vocal parts. That's why he's singing on the photo.


I have a better voice than him though :cool:

It's true. I played in front of my middle school last year (like 300 kids were there) and I just kinda forgot about everything. Other than Radio and our 6 minute version of "Every Breath You Take" without any lyrics, the other songs were ****. I felt pretty comfortable playing ****ty songs, and it was a good time. ***Wishing we played Chick Magnet... because it soooo describes me.

haha nice, cover some Coheed and Cambria. Claudio is so good at playing and singning at the same time

edit: you play guitar? (to homecatmickey)

good evening all - what goes on

Evening, sir.



Crap, I'm so tired now. I'm going beddy-byes. Night, all :wave:

I loves them - i wanted to go to that but it interfered with seeing Alkaline Trio, and well i love the Trio - yeah i'm excited but I dunno who I'd bring with me, none of my best friends listen to them - i'm always the odd one out when it comes to music:(

haha, i have the same problem, I had nobody to bring to see Coheed or Boys Night Out
