Surf 01-04-2007 01:19 PM

I've been in work all day and I dropped boiling cappacino over myself.
And I need a cigarette but have none.
And I'm still suffering from new year's eve, it destroyed my sleep cycle. its like jet lag but feels like a pig shat in my head.

Minus The Flair 01-04-2007 01:35 PM

I know the feeling, today there was one coke left in the vending machine AND THIS GUY RAN PAST ME AND GOT IT! OMG!

<_<
>_>

It's the same. Not really. Always darkest before dawn Surf. Take pleasure in the fact that guy "conceded the argument". And that everyone here is angry at your cappacino.

Bad days/weeks suck though, I know.

hey my sleep schedule is beyond messed up....also, you should always have smokes if you buy the right kind...aka self-roll tobacco...3 bucks for a nice bag and like 2 bucks for an extra 50 papers...that's what I used to smoke, but i don't smoke anymore.

Surf 01-04-2007 01:55 PM

It was quite funny to be honest. And since I'm in a story telling mood, I shall tell it. beware, this is a long and not that interesting post, so avoid it if you want.

First things first, I work in a posh hotel country club bar, so we serve coffee and alcohol but at stupidly high prices (see £4.25 for a bottle of magners). Because of this, we have to be nice to all the customers, be helpful and all that. And I have to wear a shirt and tie. So it all starts last night. I'm on the late shift, and this couple come in, nice people, we get talking, they're staying in the hotel and all that, and They leave and I'm there thinking 'Nice people'. Now, today, having had a mere six hours sleep, work is dead. Like serving seven people all day kind of dead. So anyway, They come in again, and ask for a coffee and a latte. I willingly oblige, seeing as i have nothing else to do. I take the money, and assure them I'll bring the drinks to their table. So, being the good hotel 'associate' that I am, I make the coffee. Now, these drinks are terrific, they look the shiznit, the lattee is properly separated and the cappacino looks great. I place them on a try and start making a move. But CRISIS! i spill a drop of the latte. I put the tray down, and get a serviette and wipe the minor spillage. its not quite gone, so i pick up the glass to get a better look. but the edge I've put the tray on means the tray is unbalanced. I watch in slow motion as a steaming hot cup of cappacino flies towards my chest. Bugger. Imake another one and take the drinks over. The customers find it funny and we share a laugh at my expense. So that's not bad. But Now I've got coffee down the front of me, so i go to the toilet in order to try and wash it off. Now i'm standing over the sink, furiously scrubbing at my chest trying to make my shirt white again. While I'm doing this, somone I know from my old school comes in. The only thing I can remember about this guy is that he's gay. Not really an issue, but it doesn't really foster conversation you know, so we say hi there how you doing oh you've spilt coffee thats not good. And that kind of small talk. So conversation eventually pitters out, and we each turn back to what we were doing. For me, this involves dipping a clothe in the sink and wiping away at my chest. For him, this involves going into the toilet and defecating in a very loud and obvious fashion. I try to be discrete, I turn on the hand dryer and try not to listen. But this goes on for a while. When, eventually, he finishes, he walks out into one of the thickest most awkward silences ever witnessed. no eye contact, no speech, just avoiding each others gaze. He trys to slide gently out, but has a little trouble to with the door, which doesn;t help, and eventually leaves. So I'm left in the bathroom, most of the stains out of my shirt, but fully aware that its going to take alot more scrubbing to get the stains out of my memories.

But yeah. I don't know why I typed that up =/ maybe I'll enter it in the next short story competition.



Edit to FA: I usually do have smokes, but I'm back ome and my mum isn't a great fan of it, so I've been running low. And i live in an area thats beyond rural, so there's no chance of me getting any, straights or roll ups.

ikikdababy 01-04-2007 02:03 PM

that was a quality story.

thank you for sharing.

Minus The Flair 01-04-2007 02:11 PM

I'll 123 that.

Very well written.

I'm actually going to do something worthwhile now and crit a song.

Tojes I'm coming at you because you've got nothing yet.

i am the robots 01-04-2007 02:52 PM

I'm seriously like on the verge of tears right now.

My band hasn't had a serious practice in months, and we had plans to practice today. Our lead guitarist said he didn't want to do anything after school today, which I was cool with... but then I called our drummer, apparently they've been practicing behind my back and want to do softer stuff with singing and screaming, but since I only scream, they don't want me to do vocals anymore.

There goes being a band of, "childhood friends."

Neoteric 01-04-2007 04:01 PM

Ouch that sucks man.

And I thought I was gonna get kicked out my band for not talking to any of the members for a few days =\

You should get another band together and totally pwn them.

Eliminator 01-04-2007 04:09 PM

um that's how bands work

i am the robots 01-04-2007 04:24 PM

What? Not just telling somebody cleanly, or just bitching them out completely and lying to them?

Eliminator 01-04-2007 04:29 PM

yep

Surf 01-04-2007 04:33 PM

sucks. Any band I've been in falls flat on its face. We never got far enough to get bitchy at one another. Plus we were terrible which didn't help.

TojesDolan 01-04-2007 07:22 PM

I don't have a band I'm like Bruton Wagnor I'm a one piece band.

TheBigMachine 01-04-2007 08:58 PM

Bands are hard to manage. Eleventeen, move to AU and we will play Viking Metal!

Argh...

Lol what a legend.

Surf 01-05-2007 09:54 AM

Today I bought my friends cheap crappy bass. Figure i may as well learn to play.

Also, despite the fact that the rules are there, do peope actually read them?
ditto the guide.

Minus The Flair 01-05-2007 09:59 AM

I glanced over the rules when I came, learnt not to post twice a day and that stuff, and I've sort of read the guide. More of just looked at it, but that thing is really big, too much to take in and use for me. But still really really helpful when you are serious about improving a piece as much as possible.

pixiesfanyo 01-05-2007 10:57 AM

Surf I just got my friends guitar. So I'm trying ot acutally be able to play things.

I've been learning a lot of blackflag.

Argh...[/QUOTE]

I was acting childishly last night, I was just so insulted out of the blue.

I've got another melodic death band that's been kind of on hold, involving the old band's guitarist, and another local band's guitarist, but old band's bassist and drummer wanna do it, so I guess it's just same old band + a new guitarist/songwriter.

[url]http://www.msypace.com/ischemiaband[/url]

Their lead guitarist = our new lead guitarist. :D

Viking metal does sound nice though... MOTHER NORTH!

EmergencyRoom 01-05-2007 03:13 PM

Being in a band can sometimes be a bad experience. You either hate the people that you're playing with or hate the music that you're playing. That can suck because you like playing music and so you stick with it anyway. Like someone else said, become a one man band. :)

TojesDolan 01-06-2007 05:57 PM

Well the thread is pretty much dead. Hi guys.

Surf 01-07-2007 02:22 AM

Dead thread. Quick! start a disscussion!

and pixies: guitar's next on the list, I just happened to be able to get hold of a cheap bass. And I haven't really learnt anything, just stuff from a book i was given.

TojesDolan 01-07-2007 03:31 AM

I recorded another song. I might make something with vocals tomorrow!

Surf 01-07-2007 03:50 AM

Will they be in english or spanish?!

I've just realised that an hour before I leave is a bad time to pack.

Back to university for surf.

TojesDolan 01-07-2007 04:12 AM

English.

And I should be packing to go to uni. :(

I don't want to leave, ergh.

Surf 01-07-2007 05:12 AM

cool then i can understand.

I've nearly finished. just need to pack my laptop. but i need to internet.
a conundrum

And I've realised that the live version of Thunder Road may well be one of my favourite songs.

So here's the live version of thunder road that I mentioned above

and discuss things and stuff and stuff things to discuss

for example, I miss vanilla coke :(

but now i have a two year old can that a friend gave me and I'm considering drinking it.

TojesDolan 01-09-2007 06:56 AM

Don't the sugar is coagulated. :(

Anyway, I don't post because you don't respond you bastard. :angry:
