Also, I’m checking out Adventure Time. This show is on crack.

Things I said last night.
“Seriously, you’re happy to play Topshop indie shite for hours, but not even one Well Wisher song?” (I do not approve of Mosh’s Tuesday night DJ)
“Excuse me, since I’m not drinking, my friend’s asked me to be his wingman. Since I suck at being a wingman, and he’s wasted, can you just skip to the logical conclusion of this and mace him?”...

I just wrote five poems.
And their titles are
All Clubs Suck, Forever
… and to think, I tell people my only scars are from skateboarding, moshpits, and backyard wrestling
Andy vs. Andy vs. Andy’s Room
Does Anyone in this Town Even Drive Sober?
Mrs. Robinson’s Gonna Phone This One In
Serious titles are serious.

So, tomorrow I’m life modelling again. This is gonna be fun. I’ve lost some weight since I last did it. Then I’m going to the jobseeker’s office to tell them about my Super Posi Excellent Master Funeral Driver Plan. After that I’m going to go and find Andy and we’ll go to Mosh and Moshercise. This’ll be the first real test of my edge, I guess, and probably...

novelising.
My novel is going to end up too long. I’ll need to cut a lot of it. I think it should be something like 28000 words, but it’s already 32000 words and I need to write another 2000 or 3000 words. There are probably some scenes I can cut, though.

PosiBear (not as cool as it sounds)
Today, there was a pantomime rehearsal. Apparently I’m pretty good at wearing a slightly terrifying bear-themed mascot costume (nicknamed ‘PosiBear’, due to his slightly manic grin) and chasing a dude in a dress. Life goal achieved, right there.
Hopefully the whole thing will go well, and I’ll be scouted to wear a bear suit and chase people around bigger stages. Then maybe...

Get a load of this up in your club.
Just saw someone’s status about how people shouldn’t slag off Liverpool’s only alternative clubs/club nights, because if there were none they’d have nowhere to go.
I want to say this:
Or, how about the clubs take the criticism on board, see what is frequently requested, think about what they can afford to/would like to implement, then do that? If any competition rolled...

by the way,
I skyped with my brother last night. He’s still quite into the idea of joining the army.

Slept in half the day. Hope my friends wanna do something later.
Having learned enough of Alkaline Trio’s discography on guitar that learning more songs would probably incur the wrath of some ancient fanboy-god, I’ve moved on to some other bands. I was thinking I might go with The Wonder Years, since I can’t stop listening to Suburbia at the moment, and their tabs are all over...

Instead of actually fighting with people in the future, I think I might just quote Beat poets at them until they leave me alone.

Good day for the post.
New kicks arrive. Old-school Vans. They fit pretty nice.
Alkaline Trio T-shirt arrives.
Bad day for Nick-Nick’s mum relations.
Argument about my future with my mum. I quote Allen Ginsberg (“stop pushing I know what I’m doing”).
Mum doesn’t get reference.
My mum should really read something that’s not Harry Potter. And probably she...

It's all happening
I’m still looking for stuff to put in my zine. The theme is you and your hometown, and I want photographs, poetry and prose (non-fiction or otherwise). I want things from everyone everywhere.
Here are some guidelines:
Poetry must be 40 lines or less.
Prose must be 400 words or less.
Please give your stuff titles, this includes photographs.

The great career hunt (part two of way too many)
Know what? Fuck it. I’m gonna stop with the booze and smokes and see if I can still be/have fun. I’ll learn to drive and see how life looks then. That way, I can break into the funeral services as a coffin bearer. Fuck yeah, multiple upsides.

I keep thinking about becoming straightedge, then I remember that there’s pretty much nothing else in my life other than drinking.

After this exchange, the boy gets on a bus and...
Interior, St. Margaret's Bus Station, Leicester. Day.
Unfamiliar Girl: Hi there.
Nick: Mm? (removes headphone)
Unfamiliar Girl: Hi.
Nick: Um, hello? Can I help you?
Unfamiliar Girl: Not really, I just wanted to say hi. I hate waiting, and you look like the happiest person here.
Nick: I do feel oddly comfortable in my own skin today. What bus are you waiting for?
Unfamiliar Girl: I'm getting the National Express, I'm going back to London.
Nick: That's quite a way.
Unfamiliar Girl: What are you listening to?
Nick: Sunday League.
Unfamiliar Girl: Do you like The Smiths?
Nick: They're OK, I guess.
Unfamiliar Girl: Can I listen to Sunday League?
Nick: Sure. (extracts headphone wire from inside jacket and offers headphone to Unfamiliar Girl)
Unfamiliar Girl: Where are you from? You sound Canadian.
Nick: People say that a lot. Or American. I'm from Barrow, it's kind of nearby.
Unfamiliar Girl: Sunday League is good. I like talking to strangers.
Nick: Me too. Except by 'talking to', I mean 'staring at on public transport'.
Unfamiliar Girl: (laughs) That's adorable.
Nick: Socially speaking, it's kind of crippling.
Unfamiliar Girl: Don't worry, you'll get better.
Nick: I hope so. This is my bus.

I just scored 45. Joy.
People’s scores probably get higher as they get older. Unless they get Alzheimer’s or something.

Prey For Paralysis by Sadistik & Kristoff Krane
Prey For Paralysis is an absolutely monster of a record. You know the ‘dark’ sound Scroobius Pip got on Distraction Pieces? This is like that, only with Sadistik and Kristoff Krane rapping (i.e., the flow is faster, more technical, more aggressive and - at times- more melodic).
That said, I do quite miss the fun and sunny sound of...

In my bid to learn every pre-2005 Alkaline Trio song, I’ve noticed that the chord progression for the main riff in Fuck You Aurora is the same progression as the main riff and verses in Jawbreaker’s Ache.
It’s cool how the two songs still sound pretty different, despite both having the same progression, and both being played by three-piece emo/punk bands. I guess that’s...
