It's a Saturday night and I'm home, surfing the net. I've got no money and my bassist has laid down the law "quit drinking or else!" Even my freaking housemate is out on one of his internet dates. Is anyone else in the world sadder than me?

no.
only joking :-)
its called nigel-no-friends in my neck of the woods, and i have been in the very same situation as you a few times.
it passes.
put on music really LOUD and write some fucked-up lyrics.

Oh! Right! I forgot about the stereo! My landlady has been blasting Radio4 all evening (the chat channel, not the band.) and I really think she needs to listen to The Datsuns right about now. Yessssss...

It's 3:41pm here and I'm sitting here in my PJs with the lights off, drinking tea and watching VH1 classic (they're playing "Shoplifters of the World Unite" in the middle of a nice block of '80s Brit). I was out in the downpour last night and now I'm sick.

I'm still browing RNR Confidential, and have decided to actually listen to my ex boyfriend's album. it's not as bad as I thought it was going to be. I hate to have to admit that in public. The drums sound really nice.

I am not going to give up and go down Mother. I am going to turn up to rehearsal tomorrow bright eyed and bushy tailed and ready to rawk. Yes!

― kate, Saturday, 12 October 2002 18:45 (twenty-three years ago)

I would actually like this, if it weren't for the fact that the singers sound like cotton-mouthed Steve Kilbey with a throat infection. Just shut the fuck up!

― kate, Saturday, 12 October 2002 18:48 (twenty-three years ago)

haha Kate, what do you think I'm doing? In fact I did have a date today but called it off due to a sudden intense cold-type thing. It would have been our first date, and I thought red eyes, doziness and blowing my nose regularly would be unsexy even by my low standards. I just spent over an hour on the phone to her, so we're okay - I thought she might be mad.

Not to mention the fact that if you give her the flu, you will be on her shitlist! Good cool.

Oh, yay, it's the song that sounds just like Travis.

― kate, Saturday, 12 October 2002 18:53 (twenty-three years ago)

it's 12:56 pm and i am very hungover and in a lot of pain.

― jess (dubplatestyle), Saturday, 12 October 2002 18:57 (twenty-three years ago)

its 9am here and i am freezing, wet and covered in animal hair / slobber and omg i think some faeces on my foot.
just been out to feed all the animals on my sisters farm - chooks, dogs, cats, calves...its raining. hard.
see kate, it can always be worse somewhere else hahaha

― donna (donna), Saturday, 12 October 2002 19:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Don't talk about drinking ... it makes me sad. And want to DRINK. I could just go down the pub for a pint ... surely one pint won't hurt... Can I get a pint in Hoxton for £1.55, which is all I have left in my pocket?

― kate, Saturday, 12 October 2002 19:01 (twenty-three years ago)

OK, that's enough being nice about the Ex's band. Back to Sweetheart of the Rodeo again. Yee-haw.

― kate, Saturday, 12 October 2002 19:07 (twenty-three years ago)

nooooooooooooo......!!!!
dont do it you will have one then want another and another etc and before you know it you will have managed to find someone to buy some for you and well, there goes the evening and all your best intentions of turning up for rehearsal bright-eyed etc.

― donna (donna), Saturday, 12 October 2002 19:08 (twenty-three years ago)

This is so true, Donna. The number of times I've gone down the pub for "just one pint" and crawled home ratarsed at 5am is uncountable. Will stay home with my honky tonk piano and dream about giving Gram Parsons a bath. Mmmmmmm...

― kate, Saturday, 12 October 2002 19:09 (twenty-three years ago)

You'll find it even easier to get one bought if you wear the hosiery your mother has been buying you.

― Martin Skidmore (Martin Skidmore), Saturday, 12 October 2002 19:10 (twenty-three years ago)

Oh yes, ?:<) or something (smiling person with a big moustache and kiss-curl, I think, for some reason).

― Martin Skidmore (Martin Skidmore), Saturday, 12 October 2002 19:11 (twenty-three years ago)

If I go down Mother wearing fishnettes and my cowboy hat, I would own that bar by the end of the night!

― kate, Saturday, 12 October 2002 19:12 (twenty-three years ago)

hahaha now i am thinking 'ah fuck it girl just go have fun'
but that would be the irresponsible route. pity its always the most fun one though hey.

― donna (donna), Saturday, 12 October 2002 19:16 (twenty-three years ago)

It's 1:17pm, and I'm about to head over to see a friend DJ and have brunch at the same place "FAB Seattle" took place that historic week ago.

― donut bitch (donut), Saturday, 12 October 2002 19:18 (twenty-three years ago)

If I am good, and we get a lot accomplished at rehearsal, then next month, when we are on tour, I can cavort around in fishnets and cowboy hat and have boys buy me drinks EVERY FREAKING NIGHT and get paid for it, too. So it's a case of delayed gratification. Sigh.

Mmmm, shirtless Gram Parsons in Nudie rodeo suit. Yum.

― kate, Saturday, 12 October 2002 19:23 (twenty-three years ago)

Help, I'm addicted to RNR Confidential now!

― kate, Saturday, 12 October 2002 19:42 (twenty-three years ago)

An empty bottle, a broken heart, and you're still on my mind...

― kate, Saturday, 12 October 2002 19:46 (twenty-three years ago)

If that isn't a Merle Haggard lyric, it should be.

― Martin Skidmore (Martin Skidmore), Saturday, 12 October 2002 19:50 (twenty-three years ago)

Gram Parsons. It's a cover, I don't know who of...

― kate, Saturday, 12 October 2002 19:53 (twenty-three years ago)

L.McDaniels, whoever that might be. It was on the sleevenotes, but I kept getting distracted by Gram Parson's leather jacket. Mmmmmm.

― kate, Saturday, 12 October 2002 20:06 (twenty-three years ago)

its 5.50 and i'm getting ready to go out in boston again, i'm slowly obliterating my credit card

― gareth (gareth), Saturday, 12 October 2002 20:55 (twenty-three years ago)

That's it. I've survived Saturday night without a drink. I'm going to bed. I fucking HOPE my band appreciate how I suffer for their art...

― kate, Saturday, 12 October 2002 21:13 (twenty-three years ago)

My computer thinks it's still on 7 PM. I baked cookies at my sister's house, and then was kicked out of the kitchen when I tried to do the dishes-- she thinks I'll break her plates, which is probably true. At least it's a nice excuse to loaf & watch baseball.

It is 7:18pm... I'm chatting with ANTHONG... resting after a leisurely stroll around Pike Place Market on this chilly yet crisp and clear day. I had several russian pastries. I must stop this excess. This city really likes to chip away at your will power.

― donut bitch (donut), Sunday, 13 October 2002 01:20 (twenty-three years ago)

i am trying to revise an editoral, and talking to DONUT.

― anthony easton (anthony), Sunday, 13 October 2002 01:28 (twenty-three years ago)

Did you go to Piroshky Piroshky? Which kind did you get? The moscow rolls are soooooooooooo good.

― lyra (lyra), Sunday, 13 October 2002 01:33 (twenty-three years ago)

i have freinds, they've either moved away or are flakey and undependable.

have to 86 the latter.

and the girl i want to date is away for the weekend.

― mike (ro)bott, Sunday, 13 October 2002 01:37 (twenty-three years ago)

Yes, I am more pathetic than you are; witness this thread that I felt the need to start.

― j.lu (j.lu), Sunday, 13 October 2002 02:33 (twenty-three years ago)

according to my buddy list i now have 42 friends.

― jess (dubplatestyle), Sunday, 13 October 2002 02:39 (twenty-three years ago)

Did you go to Piroshky Piroshky?

YES! And I will certainly be going back. But I had a blueberry varushtka and, later, two cheese sticks. Moscow rolls next time.

― donut bitch (donut), Sunday, 13 October 2002 02:40 (twenty-three years ago)

lyra, are you again in boston before you leave, harldy got a chance to speak to you on thursday...

― gareth (gareth), Sunday, 13 October 2002 04:10 (twenty-three years ago)

D'oh, I have been sucked out to Happily Marrieds land in the suburbs. An adorable 1 cup french press was acquired for my morning coffee on a grocery store trip yesterday, and now the cats are trying to poke their paws into it to fish out the grounds. The last time I was here, we forgot abt my morning coffee addiction until I woke up & asked "ok, how far is the walk to the nearest shop that sells coffees?" and was roundly laughed at. There is apparently nothing useful within walking distance out here.

Ha, I asked my mom what part of London my cousins live in, and she said "the city" - and I don't think she meant the very center City of London part.

― lyra (lyra), Sunday, 13 October 2002 12:02 (twenty-three years ago)

Welcome to my life.
