That is very noble of you (sounds incredibly painful).

I'm going to Norwich! To see my dad's family! I didn't really see them much as a kid because my mum was much more about family so we'd go see her people, but now I can travel alone and have money and stuff and I actually really like them

And I'll get away from the city for a few days and leave my laptop behind and maybe do a bit of reading on the train but not stress about anything!

It'll be amazing.

Up until four hanging out on my living room floor with a bunch of friends, talking about angry anarchism and media and philosophy and McGill politics and bicycles and beer and mead. Passed around a jar full of peanuts, drank a lot, watched videos of awesome Swedish anarchists. Ended long debates with hugs. Woke up at noon and ate a gigantic breakfast.

Going to be at a friend's house tonight to sample his just completely mead.

So good.

Both friends failed but the tiny, tiny bit for which they needed me was okay. But it didn't turn into a great triumph.

I went driving with my lady today. She is teaching me things so that I can get my license and my own car someday! We went to this deserted shopping center parking lot and wove through a series of islands, first going forward and then in reverse. Later, she and her dad are going to teach me how to parallel park. I still have a bit to learn regarding certain situations, but I figure studying my drivers' manual shouldn't hurt. As for maneuvering in emergency situations, well, one day I will have a decent-paying job and a car, and I'll take the class over at the DMV's skid pad. Because fuck yeah, skid pad!

He was totally shocked. It was amazing. He said the thought process went something like, "Oh god, my parents are at the same bar as us. With their friends. This is awkward. Wait, their friends are Robert and Rosie and Brian and --" SURPRISE!!!! He got back on Tuesday from Dover and said he's still finding it weird that everybody doesn't wear the same thing.

aaaaaaaaand i think i broke my left hand. fell off my bike coming home from work, landed on my left knee and hand, even fucking tore a brand new pair of cords that my mum bought while she was in town a little while ago while i was at it. i sure as fuck won't be playing guitar for a while even if it's just sprained. that is basically the end of my happiness until it heals.

Okay so, I used to like Mersault before, but after yesterday night I absolutely love them. What an amazing gig! The singer's voice was just so powerful it completely blew my mind, he started singing in the middle of the crowd without a mic, and you could hear him perfectly clear over all the usual 'between opening band and main band' noise. They ended the gig doing an encore in the middle of the crowd as well with just a ukulele, right next to where I was standing. Everyone was singing along and it was just the most amazing vibe ever.

Afterwards my friend and I ran into these two guys we met at a bar a couple weeks back, we went for a pint (or five), and apparently one of them reviews gigs and gets free tickets for everything, and he offered to hook us up with tickets whenever we wanted to, so it looks like I don't have to pay for a gig in Glasgow ever again! Then I made out with his friend who is also named Kris till 6 in the morning, and now I have the worst hangover in the world. So worth it though! Not sure if this post fits best in the drunk, gig or blog thread, but I'm going for the latter anyway.

My landlord hasn't fixed my kitchen light which has been broken for a week, so I bought a starter motor and opened it up. Turns out it had been on fire a bit! Hooray! Hopefully moving out in January.

Guess who had their collarbone broken in scrimmage training yesterday and now can't play in the TCR debut bout in 2 weeks? If you guesseed one completely and utterly devastated Jodie you would be right. I am gutted by how bad the timing is. I am going to be crying for days. I am the best jammer and one of the mlost dedicated people in the league. It takes a lot to stop me skating. A broken bone will do it though. I am incredibly sad.

Oh also I hhave to reschedule my tattoo AGAIN because it is on the broken side.

Seriously my reaction to that was "NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!" and I was sitting in the recliner behind my wife and she turned around all worried and I was like "Jodie broke her collarbone!" and she was sad.

THAT IS MY STORY OF THE MOMENT I FOUND OUT JODIE BROKE HER COLLARBONE.

Inlander · « **Reply #1469 on:** 07 Nov 2010, 16:08 »

My first thought was "How long did it take her to type that post with a broken collarbone?"

And then I realised my first thought should have been to feel bad for Jodie.

And then I felt bad.

I'm sorry Jodie!

Dear bloc,

I think I'm actually falling in love with this girl I've been "dating" for the last weeks. I don't even know if it is dating. We just kind of spend time together whenever possible?

It feels weird, because all year I have been trying to get out of the "game", and now I am more involved than I ever was.

This is the first time I am in an actual relationship, except we do not yet admit it. Which is weird because I had just started to accept that maybe I'm not the type for that kind of thing.

jodizzle · « **Reply #1471 on:** 07 Nov 2010, 19:30 »

Jordan on the bright side it gives you time to save up monies and come to Australia to see my debut!

Harry, because I don't touch type I am quite good at typing with just my left hand! I discovered this last time I was in a ling from derbies!

Jimor · « **Reply #1472 on:** 07 Nov 2010, 19:49 »

Sorry to hear that, Jodie, hope it heals well and soon! We've had the local derby girls on the talk show I work on a couple times, and they're one fun bunch of girls, so I can understand your disappointment in missing your event.

Not a whole lot to report on my end of things. TV classes are going well, and I'll be audio engineer on a local football game this coming Saturday. Working on arranging doing some cool video projects over the next few months, hopefully including some music videos.

My lady is certified in first aid and I was waiting for her while I typed with my non-hurt hand. She splinted it so well that I could sleep and not have problems through the night. We wanted to make bloody sure it wasn't broken before getting hospitals or doctors involved. After getting my ass ambulanced to a mental hospital, and after seeing how much debt it put me in, I figured it'd be a pretty reasonable thing to do to make sure I didn't need a second hospital emergency room visit in the space of a month.

We're going to take another three days in a wrist brace with several 20-minute rounds of icing every day before seeing urgent care. It's been determined that it isn't broken, by the time she arrived last night (about 20 minutes after my post) the swelling was down to around 10% of what it initially was. If it's still just as sore in three days as it remains today, we'll get my ass to urgent care, but at this point it looks like the very worst bone injury it could possibly be is a fracture. We're fairly certain it's just a bruised bone and/or a sprained ligament. We had her dad's girlfriend (a nurse, and yes I know that's not the same as a doctor, but hey it's my hand) look at it and she's the one who gave me that opinion as well as the wrist brace.

ETA I can't play guitar using frets and shit so I guess I am just gonna get really fucking good at slide guitar because I cannot possibly be expected to go without.

I had a quarter of one tonight. played brawl. it was fun!
So now I am just comfortably buzzed and kinda sad that i'm not more drunk but also glad that i am not more drunk because i have a midterm tomorrow.
This has rendered me useless for late night studying but I am sleepy so now I will just have more hours of sleep which is better!!!!!!

The next thirty six hours or so, though, are gonna fuckin suuuuuuck. But I guess I am seeing Stars after those 36 or so hours are up :]

I had my first day at my new job today! It went ok. We redressed the mannequins and started reorganising the clothes in the store by the time I got to go home. I put all the sales through and the till balanced at the end of the day (there was a bit of a scare that it was wrong until we realised I hadn't redone the eftpos totals after I did another sale on it) and I think I did alright!

Now I have a headache and have been reading the store manual and freaking out over not being able to remember everything and stressing and crying and feeling like shit because I am freaking out over a retail job. At the moment I have been trying to work out how viable it would be to just go to bed and never get out of it. I hate my brain.

hands

I was worried I broke my hand/wrist once after a bad spill on bike. Took ibuprofen & ice, went down to emerg, got more ice, sat around a while, got x-rayed, and then a doctor poked my hand a bit to see if there were any super-sneaky fractures that didn't show up on the x-ray. Took a couple hours, I think, all told, and only cost me income-tax for the rest of my life. Pretty happy with that arrangement.

Did a full day of live sound at the church yesterday. All told, there were around 1100 people there total. It was my first time in such a high-pressure setting, and I was told that I did excellent.

However, I did make one big mistake that was extremely noticeable, which startled me and led me to make two more extremely noticeable mistakes. But you live and you learn and now I know what I should have done and that's what I'll do next time!

Plus, when mixing a seven-person vocal team, if one of them gets sick between shows and doesn't come back, your mix gets screwed. Excitement! Seriously, though, it was exhilarating and I was a nervous wreck, but I loved it. Live sound and recording are what I want to do with my life and this is probably the best way to get into the industry.

Hooray for volunteer work!

So I am in Jamestown and the library here are all COCKS who won't let me access any thread because it censors pages with cussin' words on them. Jerks!

It's not so bad a place. Still kinda small, but there's more to do in Albion andi the people are WAY better around here. Left my hard drive in Albion though; this has proved frustrating. It has all my music on it. All I had left on my computer was three German techno albums, a Madonna album, and a mixtape called "Oh No! Boobs!". I've leveled up to Gay Stereotype.

(On that note, within three days of moving here, no less than two people advised me to go work at Sky Bar; I later found out that this is a gay bar)

I've mostly been kicking around and playing SNES ROM's on my computer. Apparently, in Final Fantasy 2, there's a foppish-looking bard named Edward who mopes around. This amuses me to no end.

I just had a stupid and useless realization about something that, frankly, I'm astounded I never noticed before:

when creating my account here in 2006 or whenever it was, I misspelled "Scandinavian" (I think I might have been drunk); the evidence can be seen right over there (<---). This has bothered me for a while, but not enough to actually care or do anything about it.

Now, however, I realize the brilliance in spelling it "scandanavian" because, like several other forumites, my real name is Dan. My name is hidden within my typo (scanDANavian) and from now on I'm going to pretend that it was intentional all along.

see, i told you it was stupid

Dear Blog Thread,

Today we went to a place in Calgary called Tubby Dog and I ate this, they call it the A-Bomb:

Yes, that is melted cheese on top of potato chips, there are also (incredibly good) bacon bits, onions, ketchup, mustard, and probably the best sausage I have ever tasted under there. It was impossible to pick up and eat. Sam also had a simlarly well stacked dog with home-made chilli, bacon, and onions. And fuckin' yam fries with sweet chilli sauce.

Chicago people, I don't know much about Hot Doug's, how does that compare?

scarred · « **Reply #1493 on:** 08 Nov 2010, 20:13 »

that looks about on par with hot doug's in terms of pure delicious intensity

there's a place in seattle i go to a lot called Po' Dog and they have a dog called the Danger Dog

it is a hot dog wrapped in bacon, deep fried, and served on a bun with grilled onions, chili sauce, and cream cheese

it is THE MOST DELICIOUS THING.
