General summery of things

Well then. I know, I know. When I got this blog, I said I was going to regulary update it or something similar. Anyways, recently things have happened. College is ticking over, it's not the greatest time of my life, but hey, it's giving me £30 a week in EMA, so it's not all bad.

Then there is my band, The Emotional Problems Of Dirk Diggler, we're still going, we've played some amazing gigs, and some shite ones. Thankfully, there have been FAR many more amazing ones than shit. Even people who used to hate us when they first saw us have been converted to the Church of Diggler. Even emo's with fringes longer than their face, and stuck up indie kids!!

However, tonight is 4th November, fireworks are going off all around me, and it's scary for me. If I haven't told you before, I will explain why.

Two years ago, it was the summer, and I was living in Fleetwood, and I was cycling back home from Blackpool, out of nowhere a tropical thunderstorm started, I dived under the closest tram stop and decided to wait it out, and if it didn't get any better, try and get a lift home frome the father. So there I was, never had a problem with thunder and lightning then, and enjoyed the show somewhat, until... the biggest explosion I have EVER heard. It was deafening, and I had temporary tinitus after for a couple of hours! And it was a bolt of lightning right above us, car alarms went off, when the lightning hit the hotel in front of me, the ground actually shook, thats how big it was! And the hotel was set on fire because of the strike.

And ever since that day, explosions scare me when I don't expect it, I can go to a fireworks display and have a great time. But sat in the house with the music on, and every ten seconds BANG...



BANG....




BANG...

It's horrible for me, and I hate it. My friend is supposed to be here right now, but he hasn't showed up, he isn't answering his phone, and I could really do with his company right now. I have no alcohol for tonight, but I daren't leave the house coz of my fear.

Oh yeah, add onto that the fact that I am STILL fucking single, how can I be single and the lead singer of a band? I MUST be THAT inherently revolting. Honest, I am a really nice guy, don't be fooled by the alcoholic habits. Yer, thinking it through, I suppose I have now been single for 1 year and 8 months. Thats like, 10% of my life you know since I last had a girlfriend!!! And now I look much better and presentable than I did back then, and I'm not so fussy with who I am with.

Hells bells. I'm off.

P.S. How come getting out of town gigs appears to be fucking impossible too?
