TFF of Europe

[Govinda]

Amen to that.

I'm back up here, it's ****ing FREEZING too, silly silly classes, COMPLETE LACK OF MALE (leads to a complete lack of many things, eg: sensible conversation in my flat; sex; hugs; clever jokes; sex; sex; sex; etc.)

How's yo' artworks? Be postin' soon.

The Granite has eaten my mind. It is working with the French words; they are all conspiring with the most boring people I've ever lived with to drive me up some walls.

Since when was drinking in the kitchen an ACTIVITY? How does wasting money on wine and going to bed at 11 constitute fun? How does going out and wandering around in a dark room with lots of other people to the shittest music you've ever heard constitute 'a good time'?

I want my man back so that we can rally the cool folks (currently living in Tillydrone on account of having somewhere else to go) and go play pool in the bar by the docks to good music.






....that post went terrifically wrong and veered away from original design in every way it could have, but I'm going to leave it as it is

Take care, Eurotrash dearhearts.

How's yo' artworks? Be postin' soon.

It's going well, although joint difficulties are making paints and sketching somehwat of a chore. Things should be better by mid March, when it actually starts to get a little warmer...

God knows. I have absolutely no idea. I don't think I've ever associated myself with people like that at all, and if I have, then I didn't know shit about it.

As for lack of man, I know how that feels. I came back home, and now I'm pining again. For company, for love and for sex. We hadn't seen each other in more or elss a month, but dear Lord, he was a rampant sexual animal for the three days I was there. Although, scratch that, I was too.

I need a hug. One that doesn't come from a smelly thirteen year old brother, trying to reassure me that things will be okay. Seriously. Do kids not know the meaning of "wash in the morning and spray on some deo and all will be good." ?

D:

[Govinda]

The meaning of 'You smell like a farm, please fix this' still escapes my little brother. I don't get the seeming young-male aversion to not smelling like death

Luckily though, I don't have to smell mine, since I'm a bit way away.

I haven't seen Evan since....last Wednesday, and I won't be seeing him again until the 19th of March. Poppycock, so I say. It's alright though - we've done some working out and things like that, and have managed to get ourselves a supercheap flat to live in next year! Assuming he gets into the art school up here (he wants to do Graphic Design at Gray's School of Art). His interview is on the 19th, pretty much everything sits on it now - time for prayer, I wonder?

Cheerio loves.

You're lucky... Mine is a farting, odor machine. I honestly don't know how he doesn't smell the reeking BO or the utter stench escaping his trainers... Of course, my half sister had a foot odor problem and needed medicine for it, but I don't see why he can't go for the same medicine she had.

Wow, I hope all goes well for you. I wish Andrew and I were lucky enough to find a cheap place to live... Bleh...

19th of March, eh? You're luckier than me. I think my next meeting with Andrew will be late April. Or early May. EARLY MAY!!!! I just bite my lip and think of hamsters, ducklings and the whiskers of kittens.

[Govinda]

Early May?! Christ, love.

I'm tempted to send you some furnitire to chew on

I hope you and Andrew find a way to get a place soon. Evan and I owe our luck to a string of coincidences, and a retarded Swedish woman. It's funny how these things happen.

Nobody ever appreciates All The Young Dudes enough. What a song.

And on that note...cheerio, loves.

[Chez Daja]

Thanks! And I know, it's a real bother... I'd like to get an apartment right away, and I know that's what he wants, too, but on the other hand, it's almost impossible for me to find a job how I am right now.

It will happen. Up North, everythings' cheaper... including apartments. I just hope we're as lucky as you and Evan have been.

[Govinda]

The Yanks have their own club now and the Australians keep posting.

We must remind them that we Europeans are in charge of this shithole.

Or not, since we're European and lazy, and we can just rest safe in the knowledge that the rest of the world understands our supremacy.


European things to talk about....hrmm...hrrm...French arthouse cinema? That always freaks people out. The EU? No. Okkkkay.

Beer! What's your tipple? At the moment I'm favouring Kopparberg, this Swedish pear cider stuff. Nice and sweet, but not too sweet, goes down easy.


EDIT: I look forward to accepting my award for 2008's Worst Attempt At Bumping a Thread in next year's awards. I hope you will all support me in that.

[Djinn]

I drink that stuff all the time, its so damn good. The only problem with it is it tastes so good you always want more and so i tend to end up pretty drunk when i start drinking them XD.

Glenfiddich is another favourite of mine, i love whiskey. I'm told its an aquired taste though >.>;

Back to lurking!

[Chez Daja]

Whew. Well, I don't drink all that often due to health problems and alcoholism running down one side of my family. And in all honesty, beer doesn't taste all that good to me. I like creamy alcohol for the most part. Baileys it okay in the smallest glass in the world, and whisky is pretty good... I like advacaart, but I'm off that shit for a while after I got buzzed last year on the stuff, panicked and thought I was turning into an alcoholic.

I think that's due to my dad's past alcoholism.

In honesty, I am scared of alcohol. I am scared of drinking it, I am scared when people have been drinking it, I'm terrified of the effects it has.

In short, alcohol and me have never been friends. I will never aspire to become it's friend, either.

[Govinda]

Whiskey is an acquired taste, you're right. I cannot stomach the stuff, and I'm Scottish and all. It just tastes like...I don't know...burning oil, to me at least.

My mum's boyfriend loves it though. He's not an alky, he just likes a good whiskey 'for the taste.' I still don't believe him.

I know what you mean about alcohol being scary Chez. If people are going to do too much of something around me, I'd rather it be hash than booze, since the booze makes them fight and vomit while the hash only makes them snooze.

[Martin]

I find that I drink about a half a bottle of Jack Daniels before a night out... Neat. I have a remarkable alchohol tolerance level and as such it takes an awful lot to get me drunk.

Other than that I'll drink a lot of cider, Kopparberg - Magners - Savannah (loving that at the moment) and a glass of Bulmers wouldn't go amiss. I think it's probably the reason I have as many stomach problems as what I have, I drink a lot and I drink stuff that's not at all good for me really

[Chez Daja]

Andrew went home yesterday. The time really flies and I only really notice that when the train doors are closing and the train drives away. I sobbed again, too. It was lighter than it was in the Winter time, but it was raining. The worst part is when he steps into that train and the doors close. That's when I really know it'll be a while before he comes back.

I'm trying to keep my mind off the distance by chatting to him, resting and playing on games. It may sound like a sad existence, but there's not much else my health will permit for me to do.

[Usagy]

Meow!
I don't really drink beer usually..drank too much when I was younger and now it makes me puke..
So I prefer the licquors and the sweet slutty girls drinks.
Malibu/vodka <3 and I mean it in that combo..so mixed with eachother lol.

Peace out

[Govinda]

Malibu and vodka...at the same time? They're awful by themselves! Drinking hats off to you!

[Chez Daja]

Any plans for the Summer anyone?

I'm having Andrew over again next month. Thank Shiva for that. I'm currently in the process of making him an anniversary present, but I can't tell you what it is, since he stalks me on TFF.

What a bastard.

I don't stalk you... I mean, this isn't Andrew, this is Huggy. I'm just borrowing Andrew's account to check some... things...

What's Andrews anniversary present?

P.S. Daisy, please hug me!

Well, Huggy, it can't be you because you're sitting in my lap. You just got called out.

Also, I don't believe you're a member of this club. I think you should reply again and beg us to let you join. It's a free club, so you're pretty much already a member now, "Huggy."

Oh, and P.S: *Huggles Huggy*. For he is cute.

[Govinda]

I vote Huggy in. Even though his name suggests he's a large African American. And he doesn't seem to understand the Daisy/Heather rules that apply on TFF either. Since we're pretty much two of the only sane people here etc.

Summer. Okay. I'm going to spend it writing a book I've been planning but have not had time to execute what with Uni and so on up here. I will also be doing temp work as a traffic surveyor (I am twitching here I abhor that job but it is money) for **** On Us.

I will be spending roughly three weeks in Poland during July, with my friends Marta, Kris and Dominica, and my Love Interest Evan. We're taking some tents and hitting up all the rock festivals we can find (none cost more than £30 for three days camping pass). The highlight will be Prszytanek Woodstock, Europe's largest, compeltely free, open air festival. We're going to be Camp Schkota, representing Scotland and pointing out that we're not english. Beer = 50p for a pint. Cigarettes = £1.20 per pack. Weed is also supercheap by our standards. I predict three excellent weeks of mud, hitch-hiking, music, and General Merriment.

And then home, to work for Scotland's largest broadsheet newspaper for August, the Glasgow Herald. Daily circulation upwards of 75,000. Oooh yeah. I'm going to be making tea for some journalists and if I'm lucky I'll get to actually write something.

All told, cool beans. What about you crew?

[Storm]

I'll be going to Download festival with a few friends and a load of my friend's friends that I don't know/ barely know. I'm mainly going to see Kiss, Judas Priest, Incubus, Biffy Clyro, Appocalyptica, Within Temptation and Pendulum. It should be a blast! Theres also going to be a silent disco tent, which will be odd- i've always wanted to see what those are like and one of my friends finally decided to go after a while of limbo on whether to go or not when she heard there was going to be one! It'll be a good chance to check out some other bands too. Unfortunatly Lost Prophets are headlining the last day but thankfully nobody I know wants to see them!

I've also got to do work experience during the summer to past my first year at uni. I've already got plans to do some illustrations and character concept design for kids books, and making maps for the same person, however I also need to find something else- where i'm learning off someone in the industry. So if anyone knows anyone in graphic design, web design, animation or similar that can possibly take a wee work experience student, any help is appreciated as i'm having a hard time finding some!

As for alchohol topic- 3 words- Malibu and coke! Vodka and cranberry is nice too- the only trouble with vodka is that it makes me pee. Smirnoff Ice is nice too if i'm at an alcopop-lover's house.

[Mr Spike]

Hello all. I live on Scotland. Aberdeen to be precise. Well, just outside it.

May i join??

Storm - Me jealous. I was looking at going to download this year - but it would have set me back £150 odd.

I need a job, quickly.....

There's a lot of jobs going at the moment. Students leaving and whatnot. Take a stroll down Union Street, everyone's looking. If I remember right, the Subway on that street between St Nick's Kirkyard and Belmont Street (you know the one, opposite Boots on Schoolhill) is looking for part timers, you might like that. Also, Sainbury's in Garthdee is absolutely desperate for workers - go there and you're more than likely to get a job for the summer.

Whereabouts near the Granite Pile do you live? I moved up here last September for uni, I'm originally from the west coast. Don't call me weegie or I call you sheepshagger, northener

Usagy, I hope you are picking up on my waves of envy. They're heading your way. Drink a tequila sunrise or ten for me.

[Djinn]

Hmm summer stuff already... this year has gone a bit too fast XD.

I'll be going to Vegas for a week late august/early september, will be visiting the grand canyon while i'm there. That's pretty much the only reason i'm going haha, not a big city person despite being born in one and living in one >.>. Was supposed to be having another smaller holiday in America aswell, but my funds aren't looking too good for that XD.

Will probably have a camping trip as usual and many, many BBQ's.

Would have liked to go to the Download and Leeds festivals... just to see Kiss and Rage Against the Machine >.<. Lack of money sucks for summer stuff haha.

Alford, that small place about 30 miles west, going out through Westhill. I actually applied for a job in the Tescos by the Costco in Westhill, but they're yet to get back to me......

Hey, i'm not from here either, i'm from Leeds originally!!

But all is well, i'm buggering off to St Andrews for Uni in September so i won't be around for much longer.....

[Chez Daja]

Yeah, you can join. I don't think anybody even bothers to ask before joining anymore.

I vote Huggy in. Even though his name suggests he's a large African American. And he doesn't seem to understand the Daisy/Heather rules that apply on TFF either. Since we're pretty much two of the only sane people here etc.

Too right!

Your plans for the Summer sound ... possibly more interesting than mine. Most peoples' might.

Okay, so next month, Andrew's coming down for his 23rd birthday. I'm hoping to get him to stay for nine days instead of seven this time. Then in August it's my 20th, and then a week after that I'm heading to his place for a week. I suppose my sister is very happy that she and Matt will have the place to themselves without the cat, which seems to insist on biting and scratching the shite out of everybody.

That's pretty much my Summer. I'm not interesting. ONOES.

[Usagy]

Going to the dominican republic for 16 days with 5 friends this summer ^^
4 star all inclusive resort, 24 hours a day everything all inclusive, nonstop expensive cocktails!!!

Peace out

[Usagy]

Haha Pablo, yeah I'm feeling the vibe
I'm going to try out every single cocktail they got..I'm sure I'll throw up a few times, ah well.

Peace out

[Govinda]

It's not that you've not got the money for the big festivals, Djinn, it's that they're ****ing daylight robbery. That's why I'm going to Poland - I'm determined to have a festival summer. Three weeks in Poland and at least two big festivals (including travel etc.) is going to cost me about the same as three days camping at T in the Park. I would love to see Rage at T, Franz Ferdinand and Asobi Seksu at Connect, I'd loooove to go to Rock Ness...but the sad fact is British festivals just aren't affordable for a lot of real fans these days. Rage, for all their socialist bumff, more than happy to have lifelong fans of theirs charged through the ****ing nose...£180 to spend three days camping in the middle of Glasgow, I swear to God...

Sorry. Pet peeve.

[Djinn]

It's not that you've not got the money for the big festivals, Djinn, it's that they're ****ing daylight robbery.

Yeah, i'm with you on that one haha. I was going to get a single day ticket for leeds, but it was ****ing £60 or something... for a day, jesus. Not seen a single cheap concert, or gig for that matter for a loooong time. It's kind of annoying because i love going to them, last cheap one i saw was Incubus and that was a while ago.

[Govinda]

Oooh, St Andrews. Smart cookie then. Go armed with money, one of my best friends is there, says jobs are near impossible and all the students are rolling in mummy n daddy money. There's even a ****ing golf society. Heads up: look at the Kate Kennedy Club.

I HATE EXAMS.

Yeah, i reckon i'm gonna turn into a Toff or something similar down there and then eveyone'll hate me when i come back....

Don't get me started on exams!! 2 Advanced Highers to do, one of them next week and last exam on the 6th of June!!!
