Pay day...
went out...had a few drinks...went for last metro...got mugged.
The bastards have had my wallet , my phone..everything.
I console myself with the fact, although my face is a mess and i'm walking with a limp, both my knuckles are bruised.
Got sent home from work, Steve took one look at me and said "Rich ...take today off and for fuck sake gan to the police and report it" |

Mother dearest is of to Italy for a week and yours truly has been given a list of do's and don'ts...mostly don'ts.
I believe my mother has a distinct lack of faith in me as some of the don'ts are "Don't try and dry your laundry in the oven"
"Don't cook beef burgers in the toaster"
I know I have done some pretty daft things under the influence but....come on seriously...stop laughing! |

Actually, insofar as i'm any judge, it went ok. Although I do feel i came across as a bit nervous.
The guy kept asking me for examples of how i've reacted in different work situations...some i had answers for, some i had to wing it and some i just out and out lied. Well even if I don't get it, at least i've stepped outside of my comfort zone and motivated myself to do something with my life. (theres alot of competition for this job, the guy had 12 files on the desk and those were just for today)
For the northeast mob, would thursday night or friday night be better for meeting for drinkies?
Also am sending a big stack of mental *hugs* to anyone who feels they need one.

Well, its official, I have naff all to do. Even resorted to cleaning up my mams kitchen.
Confirmed interveiw time. 8 in the fecking morning, on monday, and its about an hour and a half journey. Wonder if would be easier to stay up all night rather than attempt to get up early.
I'm hungry...I want pizza...

Before I get into this, just wanna let you guys know I aced the interveiw and they've invited me to a second one on monday morning. (also, if I get this job, people are forbidden...on pain of being beaten severely about the head and body...from singing "Postman Pat", "The Mail Must Go Through" or "Hey! Mr Postman" at me)
Now, having just taken a walk through the city centre of my home town of Sunderland for the first time in the 2 weeks i've been back...i'm remembering why i never came back.
3 Years ago I got on the metro to newcastle and as the doors closed I yelled "so long Sunderland!! you ever see me back in this town you'll know I fucked up badly"
It has never occurred to me how seriously I meant that until today!!

Well spent the last few months moping around feeling sorry for myself, doing some phenomonally stupid things and making a complete tit of myself. Today i've managed to motivate myself and start over again.
I feel so much better for actually getting off my arse and doing something positive. Applied for a couple of really good jobs, and will be going to harrass the council about a flat on my break tomorrow and if that doesn't look like moving forward will look into house shares again.
...and to whoever you are spreading the unpleasant rumours about me, in a feeble effort to keep me down, I will find you and you will regret it.

Ok, My behavior lately has not been entirely sane or of an acceptable standard. I have hurt my friends and caused them a lot of worry.
It stops now, I am not going any further down this self destructive path i promise.
This week will be spent hunting for a new flat, as my landlord has changed his mind and will be selling the one i'm currently living in.
Also Gemz, please call me, I think I'm ready to talk to someone now. |

I love lARP
Highlights
Being Icarus the drunken gate - captain. Only two diplomatic incidents but they were doosies.
Upsetting Drewin and getting challenged to a duel. Only when Vadek comes to marshall it he says "I am sick of all the bickering and infighting in this nation, so you two won't be duelling each other....you'll be duelling ME!!" pulls out the hornblade and launches at Icarus who parries the first blow by accident, the second by luck and takes the third right accros the chest.
Redeeming myself for drunken shenanigans by chasing down a couple of tranny daggerboys.
The Charge lead by Manthar, Running full pelt yelling "moh'sh pytt ....death to the spiders...heart faith and steel"
Quality time with leto
Invoking the Ark
Tapper winning the bards guild contest
Juggerball, the cheerleading chants, deciding we were so shite we should let the cheerleaders have a go.
OOC
the barbeque
Vadek launcher
Piggyyyy!!!
many hugs
Low points:
The new tavern sucked
administration fuckups
Losing my sleeping bag and having only a blanket for the coldest night of the year, go team Hypothermia...although I think gemz got it worse.
the weather in general
A conversation in the pub train station.

Your Score: Captian CarrotYou scored 74 intelligence, 63 morality, and 82 physical strengenth!You are an intriguing character. Good hearted, incredibly strong, and a headful of information that makes that Jeopardy guy look like a bar trivia hack. No one knows what to make of a six-foot tall dwarf who dates a werewolf, and may be the true heir to the throne of Ankh-Morpork. But you can make everyone get along, and are a born leader. |

...so i'll talk about role - play instead. Last nights session went pretty good. Our group still hasn't found out that Macs character is dead , which my character will feel really bad about cos it was my idea to split up to escape the police. It should be quite pathetic, seeing a 7 foot irish cyborg cry...
Then i managed to disgrace myself at a formal dinner, so a mage used magic to give me the shits.
nextday i start taking lessons in piloting big, fuckoff walking battletanks (battlemechs to you and me)
This game is a load of fun.
Real life is pretty boring. Just working and trying to keep out of trouble, also quit smoking again yesterday and i'm just starting to get withdrawal symptoms. So i'll be completely insufferable within the next day or so.

What a weekend, what an event!!
I don't know where to start. It was totally fucking awesome!!
Some of my favourite moments:
Sneaking up on the wraith "be werry werry qwuiet, i am hunting unliving" and not having my chainmail jingling so loud that it would alert him.
The really intense, stay - alive -kill - as - many - as - you - can moshes
The monster crew were awesome
"you have been convicted of theft...the punishment is death...Icarus, execute him" Getting to deathmat dave.
Singing the Torg song as part of a rite
Seeing Vadek get knocked across the room by the Ark, total "oh shit" moment.
The look on duvalls face when he realised he only had one officer left...yes for 44 seconds Icarus was in charge of the military...Dredd steps in and said "permission to revive my old generals rank". I don't think i've ever seen doc look so relieved.

Couldn't find anymeans of entertaining myself, so I went on a cleaning rampage in the kitchen.
Did the dishes...some of which fought back.
Scrubbed the worktops...wiping out entire microscopic civilisations.
Tackled evil Cookertop of Doooooom!!...not so much cleaning, more like a jihad.
Still can't get an extra shift at work and tomorrow will be spent preparing for the event, so next payday is gonna suck unless I get them to stick my holiday pay on. A bit shit cos I was saving that for the Great Edrejan Fayre event next month.
...And dedicated to all the little microbes i killed today,

Just heard from Andy that he has to work saturday and won't be able to make the event. Damn real life getting in the way of LARP.
Spent about twenty minutes kicking around alternative plans and we might have come up with something.
Was hoping to be at work today (there's a sentence I never thought i'd type)but they don't need anyone extra today. Either that or no - one can be bothered to phone me.
Also seen as i have failed miserably to quit smoking, I have set my new quit date for the 30th of april, so we'll see how that goes. I don't know what it is, its not like i even enjoy it anymore

I don't know, you skive one day and then they won't let you work the next. Don't they realise i have a lARP event coming up!!! How dare they try to reduce my beer fund!!!
Trying to get a doctors appointment to have something looked at, that i've put off for far too long. However this isn't easy, might have to get one for Saturday, which is my next, scheduled, day off.

I drank too much and stayed up half the night talking to roy, so i was way to hungover to go to work today...and i was to tired to even care about phoning in. I am in bother.
Sunday night at stripped was pretty good, my set went great, i am awesome. Could have done with more people being there, and the damn emo band playing upstairs should be immediately fucked and burned, for polluting my ears during my stint on the door.
Kinda wish i'd had longer cos there was stuff i wanted to play that there just wasn't time for. Made people happy by playing their requests, aren't I nice?
I do kinda feel hug deprived, so any volunteers?
