Today I got my bank account so I am a happy camper and tomorrow I am being paid for the first time in four months since I left AUSTRALIA! When you hit the CAPS instead of the 'a'.. STOKED to have secured two unpaid slots of comedy at two different comedy clubs in London as well! Only problem being that sometimes they conflict with the open mic nights. But I guess one performance a week is enough for now. Maybe I am too keen? XD Fucking hell
But I checked out the comedy club on Tuesday night with my friend who came from Australia last week, and it was a blast. This club looks a lot friendlier than the one where I do the open mics. It's not a stage set up with spotlights, but a warm room upstairs in a pub with a warm, vintage feel that you read about on Google Maps, with house lights from chandeliers. I made myself famous for the night by sitting down the front. The benefits of being big, blond and Australian. The usual surfing questions ensued. And in a strange twist of fate, I had to turn around to the crowd and do my sex face! Then I didn't win the raffle, the prize being a drinking competition to determine who would be the chug-meister. But I got nominated by one of the other 4 winners, who wanted me to compete, as he was driving home. Then I also chatted to the two good looking young women in the front row and one of them said she would be back to see me at my show on Oct 5, which really fucking surprised me. I am thinking she won't go through with it. I used to look forward to these kinds of things. See if it happens! People usually want to do these kinds of things when they say it, but then life happens to them. It seems either I or the women who are interested in me, are frequently unfortunate. Actually, to be truthful, I don't think she said the exact words "I'll come to your show", but when she was getting off the train she I said, goodbye, nice to meet you, etc. and she replied; "October 5!" So I think it was implied that she was thinking of coming. But there have been many times with women where they say things like this and then when I think they have cancelled their plans with me, they say that we didn't make plans. And then chaos ensues. That's if I find out at all, prior to the event. Maybe I am just too much of a trustworthy person to understand. If someone says to me, I'll see you at 9am on (several days in advance), at such a place, I will be there. It's not hard. But even though I am quite hilarious, I am frequently forgotten. Even by my friends and family at times! It's messed up
I still don't have a full time job, but I am hopefully getting one tomorrow! But at least I am getting paid for a week! I scored a week's work with a group of beetles. They needed some help rolling some especially large poo up a hill. It was one week, paid on commission. Unfortunately, they didn't have any more work for me that week, but they passed my number onto a badger who might be able to hook me up with some cash work.
