Booking shows sure is fun... huh?
it's frustrating, but I'd be lying if I said I didn't like it at all. I like having the control and directly communicating with the bookers. I imagine I might use a booking agent for help with booking a tour at some point but it's going well so far. I get worried about how small crowds might make things more difficult to book, especially when I was given the night.
I'm not too worried, though, just got to learn from it.
I was going to post something I deemed funny in a thread only to find out said thread was locked.
Yes, said thread was locked.
Suicide is just about the only option atp (that's at this point.)
You're probably not missing out on much.
I seem to have Lip Aids.
On Sunday, I felt the usual itching/tingling associated with getting a cold sore. I chapsticked like a motherfucker, but now I have small almost poison ivy-like blisters across my lips.
I was really looking forward to servicing Pineapple later today, but now I'm afraid he'll turn me down. Again.
Stop sucking dick.Quote:

Because there's nothing disgusting about looking at porn.
I got the tats on my wrists completely refilled today. I can't keep them covered up at all for a few days and they are still tender so I'm afraid to use my hands for anything, fearing I'll tear a hole in one of em. Typing this right now is terrifying. I also walk around like Beefcake McDouchface with my arms out to my sides.
Unless it's tranny porn or porn with overweight and/or unattractive girls.Quote:

-She really really treats her AD badly, to the point i spoke up on set for her to calm down. Theres nothing more disrespectful then when someone asks a question only to be shut up by someone else rudely and loudly, yelling at them "its not your business." My director seems to have forgotten this is a school production for us to learn the process of short film making, her AD is learning, and the only way she will learn is by asking questions.
-She complains no one does their job right, and unsatisfactory, but her direction and choice of actors is one that even the most untrained youtube-filmmakers would never make.
Needless to say, class will be megaton, because im going to drop her down a few pegs. Everyone is sick of her, and her attitude. I'm close to dropping myself out of production and asking my name be removed from the credits. These images are not mine, I've been given no equal say in the authorship of the images. You know someone is retarded in the world of photography/film when they absolutely believe the rule of thirds is absolute law.

It finally got cold. I'm going to try to stick out the rest of the day with no heat at all and I'll probably just use a little one in the bathroom tomorrow.
The "rape dollars" meme does not translate well into the real world. Especially among cubicle mates.

More beer and sex with hot wimenz.

Exactly. You never get a hangover if you never stop drinking.
I drank 2 bottles before bed. Didn't do shit.Quote:

This is what I get for working at a store with a bar attached that lets me drink fo free.
The more you drink the better it works, but depending on how much you drink that night, there are hangovers that are inescapable.Quote:

We should require deposits when people book time.

On the 5th, I was riding my bike into work from the train station and was hit by a car. Pics of broken bike below. Hurt my arm as a result of it so now I have shooting pains throughout it when I move it... sometimes it feels like I have no strength in it. I'm in communication with the lady's insurance company, but who knows how that will work out.
On Tuesday evening (the 7th), I was standing on the corner of 6th and Atlantic waiting to cross, some dude was turning onto Atlantic and ran over my left foot.
At work on Tuesday, I had my review and due to circumstances I did not get a merit-based increase so I have to fight that now.
To top it all off, I just logged into my bank account to check my balance and there's $200 missing from a teller withdrawal, which caused 8 overdrafts. That'll be $280 in fees until I can get that fixed. A few months ago, someone tried to pass a $3k check under my checking account and it took them two weeks to resolve the whole thing... I can't wait another two weeks if my account was compromised again.
This is some bullshit. I have a lot of tolerance for shit, but I am definitely getting to the end of my fuse.
Wow, thats bad Cal, go see a doctor now and send her insurance the bill to get reimbursed if you can, get that shit set out now.
I've been feeling naucious the last few days, bad enough to leave class to lay down and eat a snack. It feels like migraine nausia but no head pain. My mom thinks i have morning sickness, which is impossible. Because a. its been 2 days in a ROW, not just morning, and b. i don't sleep with men.
LOL.
Man, it sucks that all of that happened; especially in such a short time frame. Definitely pester the hell out of her insurance company; they're not going to do anything otherwise.
What's the deal with the teller withdrawal?
This sounds like last year and part of this year for me. That sucks, Cal ... I'll say a lil' prayer.Quote:

If someone doesn't show up for their first session ever with you and you try and collect for the time, you'll just never see them again.Quote:

If it makes you feel any better I got stuck as DD last night, so I didn't get to get drunk. :(
But I got laid instead so it all worked out.
Fuck Drunk Drivers.
My sister got hit on her bike by a drunk driver last night. She's in critical condition. 7 broken ribs, a broken shoulder, a broken back, broken arm, punctured lung, punctured spleen, and massive internal bleeding. I just go back from the hospital about 5 minutes ago, as she's going into surgery today and can't have visitors until later this afternoon. Guy swerved off the road and hit her then drove away. Thank god a cop witnessed the whole thing.
I nearly got arrested as I went to the station to pick up her phone and went after the guy, hitting him twice. Thank god the Captain felt my pain and told me to just leave.
Got in the paper this morning, his fucking cunt wife said "He didn't mean to hurt anybody, he was coming home for a retirement party, our life is over...." wah fucking wah bitch. I feel helpless right now, there is nothing I can do but wait....
Jesus Biff. That's fucking horrible. I hope the surgery can help.
God, I'm sorry Biff :( Hope she gets better. She in one of the Cleveland hospitals?
She was life flighted from Oberlin to Metro Nomi.
Here's the article.
http://www.chroniclet.com/2008/10/12...ietta-twp_122/
This fella is a dead man.
At least she's in a good hospital system now and can get surgery from competent staff. Really hope she gets through without any complications, man.
holy shit biff. i hope everything goes well in surgery.
My prayers Biff.
Fuck dude! I'm really fucking sorry, I hope she pulls through man, my prayers are with you and your family right now.Quote:

Keep us posted man.
*Edit*
When you kill the fucker who hit her, don't do it quickly, make it really fucking slow and painful.
Gods how do people drive drunk. I know if i drink I'm walking home or being driven. How is this so hard.
Some people just don't know their limits.
So I went to the ER on Tuesday, had surgery, and stayed until yesterday. There was scar tissue buildup or something near my appendix and colon, so my appendix was removed along with part of my colon. I have a nasty scare from a little above my belly button to just right where my pubes start.
I've lost about 13 pounds, I feel like shit, I might have to defer my UCLA acceptance until winter unless I can work something out with my professors because there is no way I can go to school for at least a week (and I've already missed all my classes from Tuesday). On top of that, I was planning on moving back home because my roommate is crazy (sleep talks/walks) and I realized I would save a lot more money commuting, so I have to find someone to take over my lease while being in this state pretty much by this Wednesday.
I've lived one hell of a life so far.. and I just turned 20 in August.
Seriously, wtf? Next year needs to be the best year ever for TNL.Quote:

Sorry Biff, I hope your sis make a full recovery. Fucking drunk drivers need to die, I would have pounded his fucking face in too.
Yesterday, I'm in the over 30's game. Left fullback dribbles with ball alongside left sideline, shoulder to shoulder, without any malice, I get the ball. He doesn't want to let it go, and wants to let me go with it even less, so he grabs hold of me with his left hand as hard as he can for a good 4 seconds.
Right on my balls.
So I react, push him away, he gets lippy, as he's backing up and everyone rushes in. The ref comes over, gives me the free kick and a yellow and as I'm trying to tell him "The dude grabbed my fucking balls, man." he's not buying it. Won't even listen. Will not listen to anything and I'm not asking for the guy to get a card, just that he obviously is weak and needs to be watched. Ref is not having it.
Today, I feel like someone punched me in the stomach with a brick, then left that brick in my stomach.
Sorry to hear about your sister, Biff. I hope she makes a full recovery.
Why weren't you standing on the sidewalk?Quote:

Thanks for all the well wishes guys. She's recovering from the surgery to relieve the internal bleeding and in a lot of pain, but she's alert and wants to eat something (she can't) so that's good. The case worker says she'll need at least 6 months of recovery and will be in a lot of pain for weeks.
Final official toll;
7 Broken ribs
1 Cracked Ulna
1 Broken back vertebrae
1 Broken clavicle
1 Punctured Spleen
1 Punctured Lung
1 VERY PISSED OFF BROTHER WHO JUST BROUGHT IN THE BULLDOG LAWYER, Punched the dui offender who did this, and called his wife who called the room a cunt.
Here was that conversation
"Hi, is this Erin Spear's room?"
"yeah, who is this?"
"This is judy frank, william's wife, is the guy who hit him there? I'm looking to speak him"
"Yeah, it's me"
"You cut his face and blacked his eye. And now we are going to lose all of our retirement, was it worth it?"
"Cunt"
She didn't even FUCKING ask about my sister.
My lawyer says that the fact he got charged with a DUI fucks him royally and that the pending lawsuit is going to go very smooth. Since I can't just go kill him, I'm going to make sure his life is ruined.
You should tell the cunt that drunken drivers don't deserve to retire. Good luck with that 401k.
The main thing to focus on is that she's going to be ok. Things definitely could have been worse.Quote:

Fucking people are just so all about them. "My husband is fucking douchebag and its all your fault! How dare you be in the way of his truck as it swerved off the road while he was drunk! I hope you're happy with yourself!" Fuck she needs to die just as much as her husband does.Quote:

I don't believe in hitting women but that bitch needs to be kicked right in her fucking cunt. Fucking scumbag family, make them fucking homeless take everything that son of a bitch has.
It's wintertime and apparently all women everywhere are going batshit crazy. So much drama in the last couple of days, what the fuck. Their vaginas seem to be united in some kind of epic genderfucking disharmonius hormonal RAGE at everything, like a man/self-hating moon driven by Chernabog rose and the TIDES are pulling their pussies into the twelfth layer of hell and they're all crying every other day and shit and all the guys want to do is drink beer and watch the fucking GAME. Christ.
Anwyay I'm off to a "we need to talk" meeting.
gluck
It's really good that she's recovering, Biff!
Wow, that wife is amazing. Even in "The Chronicle" she says not one thing about your sister, it's all HE DIDN'T SEE HER. HE'S NOT HURT BUT HE'S SAD. It sucks that one event can "ruin" their lives, but seriously; he almost ended your sisters, he was at fault, retiring poor is not the worst thing that could have happened in this situation.
The we need to talk wasn't bad at all.
Wish I could help ya out dude. But the best thing for you to do is remember these conversations, make sure your lawyer is aware of them and step back and let him/her work. Assaulting the guy just makes him less of an asshole to the jury.Quote:

Good. Was it just a "state of the nation" one?

Take this silly angst related faggotry to the singles thread guys. It's not like there is one guy with a dick who hasn't been through this shit time and time again.
Here let me give you the time frame.
1st-6th month "I love everything you do, your drinking, your friends, your hobbies, you are the best man ever!!"
6th-12th month "You drink too much, you're friends are dumb, you need to grow up, you need some help"
12th month on "You should do this, Pay attention me me damnit, let's go do this retarded thing because I want to"
Christ, there are more important things in the world...
I'm not single.
They need all they help they can get, train them for the future. IT'S ALL ABOUT MY FEELINGS!!!
Here's a plan: stop dating stupid bitches.Quote:
