There are so many jobs I want to do
I'd like to be a scuba diving instructor in the great barrier reef
I'd like to make corsets for a living and not have to leave the house
I'd like to have my own cupcakery and have all the waitresses wear 50s themed dresses
I'd like to work in a zoo, making sure all the animals have enough cuddles.
I'd like to be a lifeguard
I'd like to in the merchant navy
I'd like to be a TV extra.

OK I'm done. I'd really like my headache to go away, sadface.

"were 50s themed dresses"
I'd love to be served by animated costumes, it'd be like Fantasia or Beauty and The Beast.

This is where I go "have you had any painkillers"
then you say something stupid like "no I don't like using painkillers"
(, Mon 11 Oct 2010, 9:33, Reply)
haha fuck that, I've had all the painkillers I'm allowed
Wiggy even got up at 4am to make me a medicinal joint, which is actually the only thing that has remotely helped, but I don't think I could get away with that at work.

In that case suck it up,

I get headaches all the time
this one is just particularly sharp. I'll survive, though not without complaining.

I've been a lifeguard.
it's really not all it's shacked up to be Kitty. People are rude and idiotic. And more so when they've had a few to drink and go to the beach.
(, Mon 11 Oct 2010, 9:29, Reply)
yeah I'd probably get sick of it pretty quickly
I like the idea of saving people's lives, but there's not much call for it in my job.

I just have to hope that someone gets stuck up some scaffolding so I can use my mad pole skills to go and rescue them.
(, Mon 11 Oct 2010, 9:30, Reply)
I liked it too, until I realised how cliquey the other lifesavers were,
and how dangerous it could be to have to be the one doing rescuing. One rescue was enough for me. I quit at the end of that summer.
(, Mon 11 Oct 2010, 9:32, Reply)
Oh yeah, I hadn't really thought about actually going out there and rescuing someone
I'm rubbish at trying to get out of the sea when it's a bit undertow-ish. Plus I don't suit red swimsuits. I can imagine a lot of lifeguards being all baywatch and douchey.
(, Mon 11 Oct 2010, 9:36, Reply)
I used to be really good at it all,
I had one of the best times in my summer's group for the 1km swim. But yeah. Soon as you get people in swimsuits the cliques come out.

In Newquay they sell hoodies that say "LIFE GUARD" on them
it's just confusing.

it's so you can see at a glance who the biggest cunts in town are
in somewhere like Newquay that is quite tricky.

Not really
just assume cuntery of everyone you lay eyes on and you probably won't be far wrong.

I've played enough Fallout to be prepared.

Oh I'm so bad at Fallout
The last time I played it I kept getting killed by a pair of supermutants even though I was trying to go the long way around and hide and stuff, so Wiggy took over to kill them whilst I went to make a brew. All I heard from the kitchen was "have you not got anything better than a fucking flick knife?!"

It's one of my favourite games, and I'm quite excited about the new one coming out this month.

I think Wiggy is sick of the two player games I have, they're too cute with not enough melee weapons.

If you weren't miles away I'd lend it you. It's rather fun and infuriating in equal measures.

but obviously you'd have to take my word for that. How about I lend you something as collateral?

You really don't have to if you don't want to, you can just say you forgot to bring it and I'll go "oh silly Labs, what are you like" and just cry about it later.

I would cheerfully go in to business with you running a 50s-themed cupcakery. If that helps. I don't have any venture capital (if that's what it's called) unless you accept magical arse money, though.

haha lol for magical arse money
I've got my photographer coming on Friday to photograph the cakes and then Gonz is going to do me a delivery website, so hopefully in a few years I might have some venture capital myself and then we can be all Cupcakes + Venture Capital = PROFIT

From the pictures it looks pretty similar
sadly there was no smoking hot waitress at the one in London.

I want to go to London for a long weekend to see some sights some time, but I'm too skint at the moment.

I guess if you're staying at Lampito's
then you may have other plans, not least of which is being hungover, but I shall be going for a wander round Borough market and other food-y type places on the Saturday. If you (and any other member of LAAK etc) want to come with that would probably be more fun than going on my own :)
