It's been a mixed weekend
gig on Friday was half great, half average.

Wedding on Saturday was most excellent aside from the mortifying bit where my mate's girlfriend (who was incredibly drunk) told my mate's mum that we had decided that she is still the hottest of our friend's mums. While I was there. I felt we all coped very well though. And I still stand by it.

Surf yesterday was incredible, however I seem to have fucked my neck.

How was your weekend?

Not that I'm going to be around to read it today, I'm off to walk along a river in the rain.

Quite a good weekend really.
We went to see The girl who played with fire last night, then some pasta at Prezzo in Stevanage.

Had a good stroll round Dunstable Downs in the morning. Oh, and some nookie too.

Howdy everybody.

Not too bad- a bit like your's

But really, I can't complain. I would go for a walk myself if the weather were a little better. I'm not emo enough at the moment for walking in the rain.

I played at a wedding in a massive old sandstone church on Saturday
Was brilliant, partly because the stage was absolutely massive, and I nearly blew my amp up from turning it up too loud.

The wedding you were at sounds like one of those brilliantly awkward experiences. Good job on sticking to your convictions though.

Mine wasn't too bad cheers.
Alton Towers on Friday, got to go on every ride I wanted (except for the Log Flume, argh!)
Saturday, spent the day at my mates house, we had a BBQ in the afternoon, then a few films with some drinks in the evening.
Sunday, Chilled out day, didn't really do much at all.

I've also come to a fairly major decision. Over the last few months, it's been a real struggle to afford to pay for my house, due to a useless housemate (who I've kicked out) leaving me in the shit. Now, I can't even afford to pay rent without help, as I'm stuck paying off bank charges from the previous month. I've now applied for housing benefits, so am going to see how much that can help me out. If it can't, I'm going to move out, and move into a house share, a fact that scares the crap out of me.

EDIT: Yes, I'm aware you'll probably view what I've written as crap and boring, but it's something that plays on your mind, when you aren't able to even pay your bills.
( Agnostic Antichrist Baltimora, Mon 6 Sep 2010, 8:59, Reply)

was it busy?
I'm going on Sunday. I went around this time last year and the max we had to queue was half an hour for Rita Queen of Speed, other than that it was pretty much in and out, it was brilliant.

House sharing does sound like a good idea for you, it won't be your responsibility to find a housemate then if people move out. Plus you're only young, housesharing can apparently be lots of fun.
( Kitty v1.0 desperately naive, Mon 6 Sep 2010, 9:00, Reply)

It wasn't quiet, but not massively busy.
A 40 minute queue was to be expected. Last time we went, we walked onto Nemesis 4 times in a row, it was awesome! Just something to expect, if you do go on Thirteen, it's likely to break down, or stop for a few minutes. Will work after, and they'll probably give you another go on it though.

I think I'm just nervous about the house share, because I'm so used to being in charge, if you get what I mean? Plus, the lack of parties will depress me :-(
( Agnostic Antichrist Baltimora, Mon 6 Sep 2010, 9:05, Reply)

yeah completely
I lived alone since I was 18. I had a flatmate for a brief period but he was such a colossal douche that I threw him out after only a couple of months. Maybe look for housemates who are nurses or security guards something so they're always out at night.

You can have parties in a house share, as long as you find cool housemates.
