Doing much tonight?

no votes
?
by dove_from_above

I have no plans. It's pretty rubbish. I'll get home from work at about 8ish and no doubt join my mates up the pub. They'll get absolutely smashed before heading off to the Brush whilst I look on in disdain/jealousy, before returning home (perhaps with a chinese) and watching something crap on tele before heading to bed at around 1am in order to get up for work tomorrow morning

And then, BLUEWATER. New clothes are in order

i've never been to Bluewater.

i am cooking my mum a birthday meal.

and then, probably watching shit on tv and inevitably ending up back on here.


Come have a chinese with me

We'll laugh. We'll cry. We'll share tales of yesteryear and our hopes and dreams for the future. It'll be a tour de force of emotions


i'm in dublin!

however, on my eventual trip to essex i will hold you to the above.


bluewater is the closest to hell i've ever experienced

you'd probably love it though.


The weather is fine,

I think I may go for a bike ride. Beats the pub any day.


Reading

and playing Zelda.

The annoying thing is I can finally afford to go out, I just have no plans


Probably not.

I've not been out since Monday which is near enough a record (espeically as I might be in tomorrow too).

Think I'm out Sunday through to Friday next week though so I'll probably be glad of the rest.


Probably going to a party in Archway

Don't know anyone there. Might be weird.


Not one person?

hmmm... That could well be weird


Well one person

who's inviting me...


I won't go out tonight.

I bought too much vinyl and it won't listen to itself.


yes, much


supposed to be going to the pub

but i'd rather watch the wire and listen to weezer.


drink zum b33rz and watch dananananannanananan

unfortunately, today i put on my dannanannanana tshirt to mourn the fact that theyd cancelled their gig

but now theyre playing
so i'll end up looking like a ghey


wherez isz they playin,

playa?


sexypants


with yer


quiff!


babysitting

But I get free pizza and make 10 dollars a hour watching The Wiggles.


No

just gonna spend another night on my own feeling sorry for myself.


I'm seeing CYMANDE

and getting my groove on and other other such cliches, possibly followed by free entry to a night at Cargo. Dead trendy, me.


is there anything good

on at Cargo? I have a nice person that lets me in free too, but there's hardly anything on Fridays that I'd like to check out


I'm not sure

I've been told it's something like Ray Charles and DnB mixed together. Make of that what you will.


CYMANDE!!!

I am jealous.


I'm revising!

Exams next week....urgh.

Blerg.

It could be worse.

It's dark/raining, i've got a nice big mug of earl grey, lots of lamps, and Arvo Pärt on the stereo.


my flatmate has invited people round

for a game of scrabble. i think i'm meant to join in. thing is: 1) i can't play scrabble, b) i'm not sure i want to learn, c) our hot water is still fucked so i feel like a ming and really want a shower and d) i'm hungover and tired as well as the previous and it's making me feel very antisocial.


dinner party

bottles of wine, cigarettes, old friends and lush food.


probably not

most likely a few beers and some lowbrow tv


I'm just gonna watch the Royle Family special

because I didn't see it last time. Also, because I have no friends or money.


i just got in

im going to shower then change and go down to walt, christian, evangelos and chris's house and we're going to get some smokes in for poker night! and drink rum and coke and wine :)
should be fun!


that sounds like my kinda night

but without the poker


I'm the best poker player I know

I can read people like a book. I bet you had a really bad time.


why would i have a bad time?

i was with my mates and copious amounts of alcohol :)
it was fun!
and i won one round


Alcohol ruins people

Saw it happen with my dad.


It's Friday night and then it's Saturday night

and then it's Thursday night and then it's Wednesday morning and you're vomiting yourself into a sink when you should be taking your son to school. 'I can handle it'. Fine. Alcohol has no purpose but to destroy. If one is to believe in the devil, he or she must believe it lies in drugs like alcohol.


giggle.


by which i mean:

i am not making fun of your bad experiences, and it's horrendous when people have addictions to alcohol (and, indeed, anything).

but it's a bit much to suggest that's how everyone who drinks is going to turn out.


But it does no good, is my point

It's terrifying how reliant our social life as a nation is on alcohol. It's like a national dependency. And we celebrate it to death.

Nothing is more evil, to me, than abuse of drugs and alcohol.


the key words there are

"to me".


Of course

Hey, people live as they will. But we all know how it feels to feel as though you can see something happening and feel powerless to change it. There's a constant and burning desire to tell people, warn them.


yes

but don't you think it's a bit patronising to take that attitude with everyone - i'm not saying you do this fullstop, but you certainly have been in this thread.

the majority of people who drink are fine with it and know how to handle it.


It comes across as patronising

I don't mean it to. It's difficult to avoid. It's not something people like to hear anyway.

packing

and picking my friend up from the station later. Leaving for 4 weeks of interrailing tomorrow morning! The good bit of the summer starts here.


Not enough


No.


No.


No

I might begin psyching myself up for MUNICIPAL WASTE on Monday. Supported by Britain's premier Iron Maiden tribute act MAIDEN ENGLAND. It's going to be rather good.


Probs just go up the pub as per

after din dins
