This annoying habit I have of not leaving journal entries
Posted Jul 20, 2001
...which means that I have to leave extra long ones which nobody will want to read. Fan-tastic. Anyway, in previous episodes, I was about to leave for Paris. Paris was good. We saw the sights, bought things, larked about and generally got drunk every evening, such as is befitting for our generation. The view from the top of the Eiffel tower was truly spectacular and easily beats anything in London. Unfortunately, the trip was too short to do any activity for very long, and so everyone was left with a sense of longing on the coach home.
The Ivanisevic beat Henman! (sorry everybody, but he did deserve it)
The day after my return from Paris was the now much talked about summer meetup, which as I previously mentioned I was naturally apprehensive of. It was definitely better than I expected, a lot. Rather than say the typical 'it was SO nice to see all of you ', I'll defy convention and say you were all a bunch of 
s.
In all honesty, you weren't, but its an unoriginal and boring thing to say 
.
Nuff respect to Big Mad Mr. T, Conrad R, Frankie Roberto, Uncy Heav (for not messing up my house ) and Insane Endeavour (I can't believe I almost lost the badge... it was fantastic!) for being vaguely youngish people and hanging out with me. Nuff spec also to the italics for organizing the whole thing (I'm still holding on to that invite to the towers, btw!). Sorry to all those who haven't been mentioned yet... consider yourself mentioned!
Since then things in general have been better than usual. Combined Paris/meet-up hysteria lasted until I saw myself in the photos... at which point I became horribly depressed...(photogenicity-sobriety theorem). Things at sixth-form wound down to the point where there were hardly any lessons and therefore lots of free time to go out, go to band practice and various other non-educational pursuits.
"Domesticide" (*sigh*) are doing fairly well. We currently have 7 songs which are all almost ready and just need 'tightening up' as they don't say in the 'biz. This, apparently, is enough for a set, and the band are eager to start gigging soon.
Personally, I'm bricking it...
And that brings us up to today, when school FINALLY ended for the holidays. Any other information about the past three weeks is available on polite request.
Until I Next Remember You All Exist... Take Care..

Prawns, Paris and.... something else beginning with P...
Posted Jun 30, 2001
Well, I didn't get to see the 'tones in the end, but I did get to see a band called Goldfinger on thursday. To anyone who doesn't really do gigs, I would describe it as 'fun, if you like that sort of thing', and there is no shortage of people who do. Unfortunately, its not for the faint-hearted or small. Being both, this makes it hard for me. Supporting the 'fingers was a ska-punk crossover band called King Prawn. Babar Luck (of the Prawn, politically bearded loon) has now joined my list bass-playing role models. Nobody pulls off a beard and pyjamas (indian style) like he can. He plays well too.
I've just finished packing for the Paris trip (which I don't actually leave for until tuesday... mothers *rolls eyes*). Hoping to thoroughly enjoy the "cultural wealth" (or food and beer, to you and I) of France's premiere city. All joking aside, it should be a nice relaxing, enriching experience (the last time I saw the city, I was 10, and Disneyland was kind of the priority). For once I actually believe that advisory/instructional/informational pamphlet thing our teachers always give us before one of these trips. Paris rocks!
I'm struggling to find anything else to talk about... so it ends now

sanity's edge
Posted Jun 21, 2001
A lot of things have happened since my last journal entry (the promise being broken with a large sledgehammer), the most harrowing being the passing of DNA, the most arduous being the exams I failed to prepare for, and the most irritating being the fact that I can't stop feeling irritated. However, all is not lost (though it technically never was). I have a number of things to look forward to. Hopefully I'll be able to go to the Deftones gig on sunday, I'll be going to Paris with friends for a few nights, and after that the H2G2 real-time meet up, which I'm equally excited and anxious about (though not overly either). So what am I worried about? Cheer up, there's nothing wrong? Right? 
As always, answers on a postcard...

If all were well in the universe....

Good Evening.
Once again I have neglected my journal, and I am feeling penitant... I promise to never knowingly ignore the journal for more than a month at a time... and no you can't quote me on that. Now that I'm back I feel an overwhelming urge to tell you all of the nothing much thats going on in my life right now. Aren't you lucky!
In between dodging my coursework and other such important responsibilities I have found time to read and practice the bass and mess around with swords (not real) and expand my musical tastes. But enough about me.... how about YOU. What kind of person actually visits my page and why... please feel free to leave a message after the tone.
Hi... my name's Tone... *LEAVE MESSAGE RIGHT HERE*
