oh right. here we go.
heylooo world.
got back in from asian night. what a night of culture. of sitars, and painful music, and shit dancing, and 50 bangra songs that sound the same. but i got two free samosas which was nice, and kinda made up for the torture of shite instruments that produce random stringy noises.
nevermind. just went outside to smoke one of the cigars i bought in a durnken state two weeks ago and still haven't finished. perfecting the art of cigar smoking.
talking of which. been doing some coursework on the effects of smoking. did you know in 20 years, 10000 deaths occur due to passive smoking. that means in just 40000 years, the same amount of people have died due to passive smoking as people who died under the soviet regime during Stalins rule. which means that smokers are merely mini-Stalins who should be forced to smoke with their penises and vaginas... butt first. yeh!
ofcourse, somethings don't count, like cigars, weed, and fish... nor pipes. cos my grandad smokes a pipe. and ofcourse there's some friends who i love dearly who smoke, so we can relax the smoking with your genitalia rule with them. vegans suck.
so i've become a really boring person recently. i've had nothing to say. maybe it's people who have got boring, not me. i haven't had an interesting conversation for a long time. i've found people are more interesting in london than in bath. people in london always have something to say. here, once you've discussed what degree each of you are doing, noone wants to no anyhting else. and you try and continue the conversation about something else like pig orgasms or sneeze etiquette, and they just look at you like you're a weirdo. but nevermind.
i'd like an asian girlfriend. those jiggally dances they do, it'd be interesting.
went swimming this morning. but walked to town t get the bus, then realised i didn't have my bus pass. thenr ealsied didn't ahve any money so couldn't pay for bus. then realsied didn't have my gym pass so couldn't go swimming even if i had money or my bus pass or walked it. so had a long walk home up a hill to some site seeing cliff thing. which was nice cos you could see all of bath. lots of photo opportunities in bath. wanna get me a camera. could do with a new hobby. yeh. i'm going to be a pho-tog-gra-pher.
i feel it a bit bad. it was two of my housemates anniversairy the other day. was i supposed to say happy anniversairy. whats the done thing in this situation.
bought lots of cd's recently. i'm getting back in with the music scene. started to interest me again. was feeling a bit lost with it last year. which was kinda depressing as a growing adolescent. everyone should buy the new eels album, the beck album, qotsa album and lcd soundsystem.
got ticket for aphex twin in june. yippee for me. almost went to see venetian snares too last week. but noone wanted to go with me. and i didn't like the idea of hanging around bristol on my own at 2 in the morning waiting for a train to come at 5. alas.
anyway, night night, it's quite late.
cya all soon
kiss kiss for all

i'm in one of those moods where i close the door and play music loudly, but kate bush has just come on the playlist so there's a certain degree of angst missing form my mood swing. nevermind.
hunter s thompson shot himself today, that saddened me a little. guess drugs and loaded weapons don't go well together.
run out of beer. noone wants to go to the pub with me. it's not like back at home where there's bound to be someone (ie andy or sophie) there. nevermind.
great deal at student union shop at the moment. cup of tea and independent newspaper for 20pence. tho the sign says 'get a cuppa', so does that include coffee. and also, i don't have much use for the independent so can i just buy the drink on it's own for 20p. but the that might mess up their stock count.
also at the coop we're doing a meal deal where you buy a sandwich and get half price frij. and the out of date sandwiches cost 10p for staff, so i cna get a sandwich and a frij for 54pence. how ace is that.
anyway, thats the money saving talk voer and done with. should interest rhi... and my dad.
yeh, so i got a job at coop. how ace am i. was going to go straight in as being a supervisor but the bloke never got sacked. but it's ok, will be manager in no time.
had a bit of an iffy first shift: accepted stolen credit card, and then got caught on camera reading a magazine while some bloke pockets a load of lynx cans 3 metres away from me.
got given a free lynx can the other day. which was nice of the lady. i accepted gracefully.
really hot lesbian fantasy girl came into the coop while my supervisor was telling me that i can eat as many kit kats for free cos they weren't recorde don the till and she over heard, and asked whether she could take some. so i jsut sat there druelling while she put tens of thousands in her pocket. it's difficult to say no to the most beautiful girl in Bath.
bought lots of ncie thigns recently. dvds and calendars and stuff. half price calender. i wonder whether if i leave it another month it'll be quarter price. bought some cake too. which tasted like birthday cake, jsut without 'happy birthday' written on it. was tasty. jam and cream. great combo. better than steak and onion rings.
wa shaving a deep discussion with maths friend today about the meaning of pj and duncan song 'let's get ready to rumble', but no conclusion was gathered. tho we decided ant and dec must be late 20s now.
read an article about bob dylan and how he said he doesn't like modern music and if he was born now he wouldn't be a rock star but a mathematition instead. which made me happy. bob dylan wants to be me.
comedy night tomrrow. which means i have to miss pub quiz. deary me. cos it's rag week. whatever that means. something to do with charity and slacking off lectures a bit. can't be too bad.
anyway, time to go
if anyone reads the metro on the way to work or uni, read the cartoon, 'nemi', it's well ace,
yeh

love you all

why does it smell so appealing to me.

sat down and read a few people's entries, and decided livejournal needed saving. so here i am again.
continuing with the modesty, today i went paint balling, and my team won. pub quizzes, paint ball tournaments, seems like there's nothing i can't do these days.
paintballing was fun, tho someone hit me in the mouth, and it hurt, and tasted funky, and the whole trip left a big £50 hole burning in my pocket, but alas. won a cool yellow certificate thing for being so good which is getting a frame tomrrow, and a place under my godfather poster.
this weekend has been super fun really:
went round an old housemates on friday which was nice, lots of catching up. tho jo's boyfriend was there who was a bit too well read for my liking and so the conversation got a little too intellectural. but after lots of discussing between the couples about how they first met, i went upstairs with Jo and had a long catching up conversation, tho the most of it was about why i don't have a girlfriend yet. it was the kind of hellish scenario i see myself in in 10 years time, with aunties and family friends questioning my lack of partner. so i've decided over the next few days all you girls have got to fight between yourselves over who's going to be my girlfriend, then all is settled.
on saturday, yesterday, went to see incredibles, which was ok, tho not as good as other such walt disney pixar presentations. tho mrs elastic girl was quite hot so i give it a 7 and a half out of 10.
i made angel delight tonight, put a bit too much milk in it, so it came out as a disappointing sludge of chocolate flavoured sludge.
not sure whether to go to pub quiz, will be nice to win some money so i don't feel i've spent so much today.
but i went to sainsburys yesterday and did big humungous shop so won't need to spend any money for about 3 weeks.
soon we will know the answer to the ultimate question: which tastes nicer, sainsburys own brand rice pudding, or sainsburys 'low price' rice pudding.
i'll get back to you about it

so i walked into afterskool and immediately thought it was hell redecorated to look like the LSE's Student Union full of stripy tshirts and inefficient hairstyles. But once they stopped playing what sounded like a load of kraftwerk b-sides with guitars and vocals recorded over the top of them, they started playing crazily excellent music like primal scream and blur 'music is my radar' so everyone in there became hip and i enjoyed myself and will probably consider going there again. so have not yet reached complete oldmaness.
london was fun, and it was nice seeing people, tho everyone should have been there.
was so tired when i got back to bath i had to skip the pub quiz!!! even fell asleep on the train. a small girl sat next to me, and had to stand on the chair to put her bags on the shelf, but she had finished before i realised what she was doing and could offer to help. it was rather painful to watch. then she tried to start a conversation but i was too tired to talk and i've never met anyone on a train that has anything interesting to say so i said hi and read my book.
Have made a compilation cd of songs that remind me of the various visits to london i've made since joining uni:

Roxy Music - More Than This
Blur - Music in My Radar
Bobby Gentry - Ode To Billy Joe
Bruce Springsteen - Born to Run
Ike and Tina Turner - River Deep Mountain High
Outkast - Whole World
David Bowie - Under Pressure
Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds - Death Is Not The End
Kate Bush - Wuthering Heights
The Hollies - The Air That I Breathe
The Velvet Underground - I'm Sticking With You
Leonard Cohen - The Partisan
The Righteous Brothers - Unchained Melody
Kelis feat Andre 3000 - Millionaire
The Libertines - Can't Stand Me Now
Willie Nelson - Always on My Mind
Aphex Twin - Fingerbib

I could write an essay like that nick hornby book about why, but that would be silly and geeky.
going to party in bristol tonight. which should be crazy fun.
infact, i should go and make coffee number 2 for it.
so speak to you all later.
and look after yourselves.
hope you all have good nights.

watched the best episode of sharpe yesterday. can't believe teresa dies! and i can't believe he cheated on her! and what about bruce willis being dead, didn't see that coming! phooee!
how about inventing earings that are infrared ear phones. ingenius idea.
drinking too much coffee these days. have a 39p flapjack for lunch, but all the money i save by buying cheap food is spent on coffee. had the most disgusting cup of coffee today. decided i would stick to the far trade stuff, non of the manky library stuff that jsut tastes like coffee flavoured water. then i realised that is basically what a cup of coffee is. then i started getting bored of myself so wondered what it would be like to be morgan freeman. pretty cool i decided. specially in 'chain reaction' where he's like 'yeh, i'm morgan freeman, i know about nuclear reactors'. or was he the baddy? it doesn't matter, he was still cool. i used to fancy the actress in that. i wonder what became of her. she should pose for fhm some day.
talking of which, we need some new reading material in our bathroom, read 5 week old ZOO too many times.
made best comment today. curly becky (such called as she has curly hair) was introducing me to 2 other beckys, and said "this is straight becky", too which i said, not paying attention much as i was ordering a coffee from the bar, "sorry, which one of you is the lesbian". which made me giggle, and curly becky, but straight becky didn't look very amused. maybe she is a lesbian.
another thing about sharpe, the new duke wellington and his sidekick isn't nearly as good as the ones in the first two episodes. sean bean on the other hand jsut gets cooler by the minute. even tho he cheated on teresa, tho it was with liz hurley, who had really big breasts, and i saw her breasts, and i liked her breasts, and sharpe saw her breasts, and i think he liked them too cos later on he kissed her on the lips and made babies.
wrote a good song today (hehe, sound like andy), it was good and will make me famous.
saw a £11.97 bottle of wine today in somerfield i'm going to buy when i can dirnk again and drink it all myself. yum yum.

bubye all,
see you london people on friday,
if you're not in london i shall close my eyes and imagine your there,

i think it may be time for another update.
it's been a while, but i have the net in my house now, which means more shenfield livejournal entries for you, and more free music and porn for me.
not much to tell thats happened in the past 3 weeks. i've become addicted to pub quizzes and double lollies; realised i've gone through 160 tea bags in the 5 weeks i've been here; and went to a very pretty fire work display yesterday which was very well coordinated with james bond theme tunes. live and let BOOM SHHHHHHH WHEEEEEEEEEEE!
just like that
so i decided when i get my maths degree i want to be a firework to music coordinator. i wonder how it's done. do they have a big string thats been cut to different lengths or are people running back and forth lighting fireworks.
but then on bus back home becky got hiccups and i decided there was more money in inventing a tablet that cures hiccups.
watched 'that peter kay thing' or whatever it's called as well, which i'm not sure is funny or not. seems very amateurish compared to phoenix nights.
can't remember whats happened to me before last night.
ooo, yesterday morning i went to buy toilet paper cos it was my turn to do so and i got lost so the whole journey took 2 hours. and sarah told her boyfriend i tell her to suck my cock, but i think i got away with it.
bought family guy box set which is ace. very funny. steve downstairs has it so it was an unecessary buy but what the hell. we're going through a box set frenzy at the moment, buying loads.
like the sharpe box set. cna't believe i missed out on that program when i was a child. sean bean is soooo cool. i want to be him. but without the war and the death and the 2 battle injuries an episode average he's got going there.
oooo, program on britney, msut go

found ingenius way of hiding second head, so got through friday tutorial swimmingly, specially as liane and jonny were there and i know them. monday tutorial was bad as i knew noone, but todays was ok as i did. and i'm in lvoe with my tutor for algebra one. she got sexy accent and perfect boobies. makes mark happy.
spent all of saturday watching the whole of spooks series 2. tell a lie, we got too tired after the 9th hour so watched the last one on sunday. such a good program, makes me want to be a spy.
finished bridget jones too. good book. made me laugh and want to sit around all day in my pyjamas eating chocolate. ofcourse this does not fit in with my plan to be a spy, but at least i have a fall back plan if MI5 doesn't want me.
woman in MI5 looks a bit like keira knightly. i wonder whether real MI5 agents are as attractive as the ones in spooks.
finshed for the day now. not much to do at home tho without internet. read book i suppose, and thursdays metro, which i've read so many times. david bowie has grown a beard and toothpaste is bad for the environment.
there's a gigantic inflatable number one outside the library window which looks a bit like a kinght chess piece. it's quite intimidating, and there's no clear sign what it's really there for. it's got 'for all' written on it, which i assume means 'one for all', but what does that mean. maybe they're communists.
i thought there were communists at the uni yesterday cos a bank or something called the 'KPMG Company' set up a tent on cmapus, and i confused them with the 'KPG', tho steve pointed out that the KPG aren't communists anyway and i was just getting paranoid.
Got teased in my tutorial cos i said i was scared of walking through the subway to get home. but bath is scary place so i stand by my fears. like a few nights ago two pikeys started shouting at us, and some tramp hassled steve, then told him he stank. and the tramps here are scary, with beards and stuff. a bit like the cleaning staff here. maybe the uni employs the tramps as cleaning staff.
i wonder where the homeless masturbate. hmmm, gotta watch your step i spose.

anyway,
time to go home drink some tea,
decided i drink too much milk so much go down to drinking semi-skimmed, yucky yellow mankiness,
bubye all,
missing you all,
have fun in leeds whoever's going, sorry i can't be with you, but i'm saving up for my £48 ticket, or 'andy give me a lift',

2004-10-15T10:06:40Z

didn't want to go into uni today as had big spot on chin. and fair enough i've spent my whole teenage life covered in them, but this one was big, made me look like i had another head, and i have a tutorial this morning, and because theyve mixed the groups around i'll be meeting people i may never have met/talked to before and so first impressions are vital, and they'll all go away saying, 'did you see two-head boy', and they'll all call me 'two-head' boy for the rest of the year. which makes me sad somewhat.
ooo, ann just phoned to talk to me. she wa soutside the library so went to see her. going round hers after dreaded tutorial. she was wearing some disgraceful tights, and her shoes weren't doing her too much justice either, so i said so, which she found funny, but i know she will never wear either of them ever again.
my cd player jsut suddenly turned it's self off. weird.
considering whether frijj milkshake can count as a meal. if i drank one now could i justify my calorie-minimising infringement by skipping lunch?
ahhh, batteries are dead, that's why.
woke up yesterday to make toast, and my bread had gone stale, had to buy cheapo nasty 23p stuff seeing as freezer space is too small to hold loaves of bread so extra thick loveliness goes to waste. shame, it was the best of the pre-packaged sliced breads.
cd player working again, making the most of the last of the batteries. keep having to take of head phones to see whether music is too loud, so not getting full enjoyment of new tom waits album.
feel a bit guilty using up a computer for live journal and msn so might go, tho i've got nothing for another hour and a bit so another entry probably coming up soon.

first update since uni.
not been what it's been cramped up to be.
tho this years fresher's week was a lot more fun than last years. even without drink. pub crawl was fun despite being on coke. stopped the red bull madness as realised wans't saving anyhting by not dirnking that way.
in the library, it's raining, feel protected. broadband not set up. grrr.
talking of book related things, reading bridget jones that pip gave me. enjoying is muchos, tho feeling more and more gay by the minute. decided i want to make my livejournal entries more like her entries. i oculd write a book.
have yummy sandwich i made at home. which was silly as i only have one lecture today and so am now finished and could go home and make one there. made with hovis extra thick bread. or is it kingsmill? anyway, it's the best bread in the world cos it's thick and fluffy, but you get less pieces cos it's thick and still takes the same amount of space in the packet as a medium one.
on msn, noone online. grrr. 'cept lionel. but he's always online. never speaks to me anymore. which is sad. tho when he did i wished he didn't.
might go to score tonight, which is the student union club thing. tho don't like that, cos it's always full of beautiful sports people.
watch football in pub instead. yeh, i'm a man. grrr.
it;'s raining more, makes me want to go home and listen to relaxing music in the comfort of my room. rain reminds me of winter at home for some reason. and paper round. ahhh! happy birthday rhys!
spent lots of money on posters, (£13.50), to be exact. one of some picture i never seen before but i quite liked it so bought it. one of that 'great bear' picture thing that is the london underground map renamed. which the more i look at it, the more i dislike it and realise it was a waste of £7. reminds me of home tho. and one godfather poster. which i like, as it's just black and white, and looks very suave. my rooms quite arty and cultured i must say.
moved my radiohead poster to the left a bit to make room for my godfather poster, but ripped off half the wall. must find out colour of paint before end of year.
time to go buy a frijj. or should i say frijj(s) as they are on buy one get one free.
and they have the minty chocolate ones too. woohoo.
by all.
miss every last one of you.

monday club

2004-09-27T23:14:14Z

had two days of work work work. and have all the other days i'm in london fileld up with work too. grr
yesterday a lady ordered a tuna and mayonaise jacket potato and asked whether she could have cheese on top of it, so i said no cos we can't change the menu. then she said she didn't want it then if i couldn't change it in a sulky childish way, then her partner, who was obviously embarassed told her not to be silly and told me to try my best to get cheese on. when it got to her cheeseless, she kicked up such a fuss saying she said she didn't want it cos it didn't have cheese on, despite her partner saying she'd have it anyway and so steve told me just to give her a refund, so she sat there sulky face while her partner scoffed down his steak pie. it made me happy to know she was starving. yet sad to know such droopy pathetic useless pointless yuppy-wannabe bitches exist.
then a girl who we saw in gay came in, and asked whether i went there often. she thinks i'm a regular *sad face* ...not that there's anything wrong with that *i love gay people face*

monday club was fun today despite just being me andy rhi and foo and little dom. we played 'guess the super hero', and no one would except that pikachu is a super hero.
i wanted to get some mini chedders, but i lifted up my shirt and saw i was having a 'belly day'. there was a ring a fat around the radius of my stomach that includes my belly button, which was weird, and looks really weird in the mirror.
this has worried me a little, and so i have decided to cut down on red bull. also, steve said that drinking my litre of blue bolt stuff was worse than dirnking 6 pints of stella, which is bad.

my favourite george jukebox songs of the day were 'evergreen' - will young; 'bridge over troubled water' - simon and garfunkel; and 'lean on me' by whoever sings 'lean on me'.

the most expensive day in the world

2004-09-25T17:08:23Z

me and vicky managed to lose a total of 35 pounds on the george slot machines yesterday. fortunately only 10 of that was mine but argh! our addiction was so bad one of the regulars had to lend us money to play more, then he lent me a pound so i could buy a chocolate frijj, which was nice of him. at least i know how to play them now so can win lots of money in bath with my student loan.

george was very quiet last night. goodbye catheriney. miss you! xox({) bubye sooze too, i think, tho i'm not sure, i didn't really understand her cos i was too busy looking at her breasts.
then i went to gay after rhys managed to persuade me to go by saying nice things that made me miss him. bubye rhys xox ({). i got 4 bum pinches, (5 if you count the one intended for me that sophie got instead), which was all very flattering, specially the man who said i had a 'nice tight ass', tho he might not have been gay. anyway, i got more attention than i would ever get in a heterosexual club, which was nice. i wonder whether there is such a word as 'heterophoebic'. hmmmm, puzzling.
got in at half 5, so decided against popping in to see sooze this morning. went to waitrose later tho and bought 2 pints of milk, a chocolate frijj, and a chocolate triffin slice, which are all very tasty, tho i'm not too keen on milk on it's own, but it's high calcium content makes my bones strong and firm, so i put up with it.

short 'un today,
until next time,

thursday

2004-09-23T23:21:31Z

nothing much really happened to yesterday. at least i don't think. i jsut worked then watched american psycho which was a little disappointing compared to the book. but if you're reading this and i did something major with you and have forgot, i apologise, cos it feels like something happened.

this morning i watch 'donnie brasco', and i found a raisin on the bean bag i was sitting in, which made me want more raisins, so i went and bought some.
during the day i went to meet marc at the south woodford george, and sophie was there, and andy, and lots of work people, which was nice. then i went to the hogshead opening and got a free drink, which was also nice.

i have fallen in love with a customer who came into work this evening. she was so beautiful. a little small and a little pikey, but that doesn't matter, cos she was beautiful. infact, she was very pikey and it was like a battle between my penis and my brain, but she was beautiful. and she had this sexy dress on that made me see her boobies. then she asked whether lucy had gone home (cos she had IDed her), then i said something, that at the time i thought was funny, and i can't really remember what it was, and if i could i wouldn't say, cos it was so STUPID, and it jsut made her look at her friend and say 'what?'.
so the i felt depressed. but then i realised that even if i had said something remarkably witty and intelligent, it would have got me no further and i still would have been way out of her league. and this made me happy.

i am now going to drink tea and eat raisins and read my pink floyd magazine, while probably listening to pink floyd,

night all,
Mark

like the desert miss the rain

2004-09-21T23:38:25Z

i got woken up this morning by a text message saying 'hey hun, sorry to hear about your loss xxx', which turned out to be from carien from the george. and although it was sent to me by mistake, this scared me and kinda put me off going back to sleep.
a book arrived today i won off ebay for 95pence. finished the one i have been reading, and started on a new one: 'rum punch', which i'm not sure why i'm reading because a) i didn't really enjoy 'jackie brown' which is based on it; b) i told pip i'd read one of the ones she lent me; and c) it's from oxfam, and i really dislike reading other peoples literature. but alas, i shall crack on.

pip left today. well, she leaves tomorrow, but it was her last day today. which has made me quite sad and feel a little empty. but it ended in style at the soul stop cafe where i ate a cream cheese and salmon baguette (complete with lemon juice and pepper), a chocolate cake (with cream) and a cappacino. i was quite peeved my drink didn't come in a see through mug like pip's latte or catherine and sooze's hot chocolate. what do you have to do for a normal cup of coffee these days?!

worked tonight, which was quite fun, i like working with sophie and andy, they're fun. lots of people from churchfields (my old school) came in. and this girl i hardly knew recognised me and spoke to me, which was very nice of her, i hope she doesn't remember i asked her out when i was 10. she was hot, and i spoke a lot of rubbish about her cousin and in my fantasizing daze charged her 20 pence too much on her card, hope she didn't notice.
i was in the toilet doing a wee, and a regular came in and said 'corr do you have to piss with the commoners then?', which gave me stage fright and i had to go hide and wee in the cubical. which was embarassing.

tomorrow i'm going to find out some information about huey lewis and the news, and look up the word 'leper'

red bull

2004-09-21T11:59:44Z

red bull is a great product. one that i've become helplessly addicted too after having to stop drinking alcohol.
and you know, it's expensive. i've always assumed, '99pence, thats the cheapest i'm gonna be able to find'. but no. sainsburys has it for 88 pence. and not only that...
they have their one brand, blue bolt. which is only 49pence for a 250ml can. or, get this, 99pence for a whole litre bottle, that's 4 cans! and though it tastes a little funky, it's still a top of the range energy boosting taurine based drink. and although it has less caffeine content, 30mg per 100ml rather than red bull's 32mg per 100ml, (which means for every 16 cans of blue bolt i drink, i could have drunk 15 red bulls), the caffeine to price ratio is so out of this world i shall be converting to blue bolt from now on.

yesterday i went for lunch with rhi and adam which was nice, especially as i got to try the new mint flavoured frijj milkshake. (sponsored by the simpsons).
adam needed a shave, and the second half of my duck wrap severely lacked duck, but apart from that it was a nice trip out.

monday club was cosy yet fun.
i walked there, which is always an enjoyment. this time i made one vital alteration in my journey, involving outside snaresbrook station where the pavement goes up and down, and where i usually choose down, i decided to go up and walk past loon ye, and although i had to walk past 3 hooded youths, which kind of unnerved me a bit, it was a nice change and i shall probably be doing it again sometime.

after the george we went back to clare/claire's house and played this cool playstation game with a camera and stuff and it was fun.
then me rhys and chris walked back at about half one and got to the eagle and got bored so phoned for a cab, who asked us if we worked at the eagle, to which rhys said yes, and so we posed as workers at the eagle who's relief manager is joanna, in the hope we'd get a discount.
although this didn't work and infact for about 5 minutes the fair went up 50pence. nevermind

day at work eating chocolate cheesecake

2004-09-19T20:09:33Z

didn't get much sleep last night. too busy thinking about things, like friends i'm gonna miss at uni, and whether i've ever seen a young photo of vincent price or if i'm mixing it up with an image of albert einstein. and although they both have completely different moustaches, and actually look nothing like eachother, my mind was still blurry. then i realised i don't know anything that vincent price has done except the voice in thriller so i decided he wasn't worth losing sleep over and eventually went to sleep.
had work today, with sophie. which was fun actually, and went whoosh like last night. the first two hours were a bit of a drag cos sophie was hungover so didn't talk much, but this meant i could think to myself about more things like what i had told my mum i wanted for dinner tonight (chicken curry), and whether there were any sexual connitations of the word 'windowlicker'. but after about half an hour without figuring out what body part a window would be, i decided to give up on the matter and worry about something else.
me and sophie played bar skiing which envolved skiing on ice... behind the bar.
then sophie told me that natasha bedingfield was a lesbian in a very convincing way, and although i later found out she was fooling me, it put a downer on the rest of the day and was all down hill from there. like when i put vasaline on my lips, and it went on my glass of water, and i picked up my water, and my finger slipped on the glass, and all my water fell in my food. which was sad.
mondya club tomorrow. i like my mondays off. always nice to go back to the george, although it would ahve been even nicer to have friday night off. anyway, i can wear my new smashing long sleeve tshirts. well, jsut one of them. and they're not really smashing either, just blue with long sleeves, but they're new.
my sister got new clothes too. a poncho infact. why is everyone getting these. and she made a che guvera tshirt. all these ponchos. i tell you, and with this film coming out, 'motorcycle diaries', there's gonna be all these 13 year old communists roaming the streets wearing ponchos and che guevera tshirts. the 60s all over again. ahh, the good old days, i remember them.

thinking about it, it seems a little unfair to blame vincent price for my lack of sleep when it was probably the red bulls.

anyway,
bubye all,

the past two days

2004-09-19T00:06:17Z

went for a walk down to boots on friday which was fun. saw big charlie outside boots so i hid in iceland for a bit, which i came to the conclusion is a really tacky place, tho red bull is only 99pence, and seeing as i've spent about 30 pounds on that stuff the past week, is a good deal. went to boots and this old lady was slow and i almost fell over her cos she was quite small, which the security guard saw and laughed at although normally i would have taken it light heartedly and laughed with him, my cd player had jsut run out of batteries so i was pissed off and so scowled instead.
then i bought some hair clay stuff, which isn't my normal brand, but it was two for the price of one, which seemed a good deal, but it's crap, and now i have 2 tubs of the damn stuff i feel i must use as it set me back £3.79.
then i treated myself to a iced ring donut, which was nice, but i can imagine the chocolate ring donut that i didn't spot until it was too late would have been nicer.
then i went to friday george, which was the first time in ages, and i saw lots of old people i haven't seen for ages. which was nice. like nymo's cousin kat who is very nice girl, although sophie eglin said i shouldn't speak to her cos of some story aobut giving head in the toilet. or maybe it was aobut oral sex. no that was another story other sophie told me, but head and oral sex are much of a muchness, so it doesn't really matter.
anyway, yeh, it was really crowded, and i had been there for an hour, then went into the beer garden cos i thoguht marc said pip and co were there, but they weren't, then i couldn't get back in cos they were doing one-in-one-out, or is it one-out-one-in. not sure. the latter makes more sense, but the former roles off the tongue more. hmmmm.
every other person must have been going off to uni that night, cos there was lots of crying.
then all the crying made me want chinese so i went to the chinese shop, but by the time i got there my appetite had waned slightly so i decided to hug rhi lots instead, who incidently was looking very pretty last night.

had work today, which was kind of fun cos it was busy and it went whoosh. tho at about 10:20 i became puzzled over who won the zulu war, the zulus or michael caine, and this made me pour pints inefficiently.
and we had bouncers who me and andy came to a mutual agreement that it wouldn't be sensible to hit without a reason.
i got quite a few tips which was nice. then this bag of broken glass broke and went all over the floor. and everytime i walked past it in the hallway the floor was slippy, and i had this image of me slipping and landing on it, and shouting in a pool of blood 'ouch, bugger, that hurt, my willy is bleeding', which made me queesy and will probably give me bad dreams for a few days.
i am working tomrrow during the day, which is a pain as i was planning on being bored and going round pips. but alas.
and i have friday fof again, which isn't much use as lots of people will be gone.
nevemrind
anyway, bed time,
night me luvvies,
Mark
xox (for the girlies)
-formal handshakes for the boys-

PS. it was stale mate, tho aparently the zulus could have whooped our arses if they wanted to.

BEAT YOU!!!

shelby

2004-08-25T23:57:58Z

i went to see shelby.
he gave me a card that said 'birthday hunk' on it.
i treasure it forever.
and he looked at me funny when i said he was hardcore for drinking caffeinated tea.

today george was fun.
man was rude to people.
and was racist to sophie, so i clenched my muscles and said 'nooooooooooooooo',
so he poked my eyes and called me four eyes.
which was funny cos he was off-white and wore glasses.
pip was a fat arse and carien's a minge-biter. and someone's harry potter, but i couldn't really make out who.

yeh, so then i drove carien home cos she was scared, which was fun, cos on the way back i jumped a red light while entering a no entry sign. it was confusing, not my fault.

then i waved goodbye to catherine and pip for the last time for 4 days. then drove sophie. who tlaked about jameroquoi a lot. tho i wans't paying much attention cos when it all comes down to it, they're quite a crap band.

ooooo, and pip bought me best present. i love douglas the donkey. he is now wearing my glasses and is looking a bit like me. thanks pippy!

my birthday

2004-08-24T01:04:23Z

yay! so it's like my birthday. well it was yesterday. not anymore :'o(
went to south woodford george, then wanstead george, then bridge.
so actually it was like a regular monday night, but yay it's my birthday.
catherine is making me do this message.
thanks for all the cards and the photos and the copied cds.
and the drinks. yes, the drinks got me drunky.
tmorrow i go to see shelby.
it make me sad, cos i not go to reading, so i don't see some people for a whole week.
:'o(
my fault, shouldn't be such a poor bum.
have fun time at reading people.
but don't have too much fun, or i'll feel sad.
but dom has free house. maybe he'll say 'boobies' a lot.
that was funny, me and pip laughed lots.
it's always nice to be mentioned in livejournal message, so seeing as pip and catherine have only been mentioned, heylo sophie, sophie, will, rhi, marc, rhys, emma, beth, helen, jordan, stu, sooze, gavin, andy, pip and catherine again, and anyone i forgot.
