I haven't had a cig for 2 whole day (almost). Ugh my body is not happy, although at the same time I feel a bit LESS stressed out because of it. On top of that for the last 2 or 3 weeks I've been having night sweats. I wake up around 4 in the morning and my back in soaked. I've never had these before....

So today my friend Mike called me and said he had a question for me he never thought he'd ask another man again. So I said, "Shoot" . He goes, "you wanna see Queensryche?" I go... "errr ummm..." he goes, "I have a hookup at the universal ampitheatre, it's free! And Dream theatre opens".
So I was thinking, what bands have you guys seen live?...

Seriously, yeah, you can train to be a modelmaker. There's probably a stack of courses in the US. Most people start out wanting to get into SFX but there's a lot of competition there so I drifted into architecture/exhibition/advertising with a bit of engineering and the occasional FX stuff. Hell, there's a course here in Kent that takes a large proportion of foreign students but obviously ya need cash to do the course... vicious circle!
As for Scotland, I can't comment but my other half's from Ireland and they're big on encouraging people with creative backgrounds, so maybe that's an indirect route. Hadn't really considered the whole work visa problem, I must admit. Brother in law lives in Chicago having found his way there from Ireland and he overstayed his visa and has spent the last 5yrs+ as an illegal; spends all his time panicking at sight of squad cars, etc. So I guess I know or can appreciate what that must be like...
As regards Chelsea, yer askin' the wrong Brit. Sometimes I feel like the only UK citizen without the slightest interest in football. Having said that one of my oldest mates is a fanatic Chelsea supporter and he's no tosser/wimp/loser/whatever, so let that be your guide...

Discussed during a meeting at work...
"We were screening this demo in the media room and the CJ (Clip Jockey) came. The problem is the CJ is a woman."
"Wow. How much? Like a man?"
"She was gushing. Can we show this?"
(everyone looks at the attorney)
"Nope, if we can't show a man come we can't show a woman come. Rules are rules"
Yup......

Man I though I had a sweet job.
Nothing like a meeting getting to talk about gushing women.

Yesterday someone in our small department got fired. It was like elementary school afterwards. You know - your best friend gets into a fight and everyone you've ever seen in school asks you for the gossip. Welp that's what it was like. People I've barely ever spoken to were saying "what happened?" "why did they fire him"? And then... "I barely knew it" or "It...

One nice thing about the places I work is no office politics. I show up, work, and leave.

Maynard was the coolest rat in the world
One of my friend's roommates had a snake who ate rats. I used to visit him in Santa Barbara a lot and I always saw this rat in a tiny tiny box. Maybe 5 inches by 3 inches filled with fucking potting soil and a bottle cap full of water - which of course got tipped over...

Ok since I'm so ridiculously bored I'm going to start posting parts of my livejournal.
Cigs...
There are two kinds of people in this world - Smokers and non-Smokers.
Many people spend their life as a smoker but cough and feel overwelmed all the time whereas
many others spend their life as a non-smoker and feel empty and hollow. The thing isn't that one is...

You know, Daoc doesn't take that long to play, or at least not THAT long to get to 50. Especially if you've been playing for a while, and if you play with the same people repeatedly, you get almost telepathic with them and then you become really pro.

Happy birthday!
Hi. I'm completely new here. Some people on livejournal rave about this place so I decided to give it a go. Actually I thought it was just a regular old porn site at first. We'll see...
Anyways, click here to see my livejournal, since I'm too lazy to type one here as well. And post damnit! I need posts!

Am I being compared to James Hetfield? Errr I dunno if that's a compliment or not hehe. I love the band although every time I've seen them live I want to slap James for sounding like such a pussy when he talks.
Anyways I was just saying on another post (this how ya found me?) that I really want to go to Wales. I almost made it when I was in England but ended up getting a job etc etc and couldn't leave the city much.

Sorry to hear about the chick thing. Sometimes you need to move one, Sometimes you need to fix the problem. I hope you can figure it out.
A bit of advice from someone who knows - being scared of being alone is the single worst reason to be in a relationship - seriously.
