hiya folk. I haven't mailed for a few weeks because I've been soooooo busy it's almost untrue. 1) - yaay. It's my birthday today. yay. celebrations. joviality all round. yay. jelly and ice cream. yay. novelty birthday cake featuring either disney character, or homer simpson. so why does it feel like "it's just another day"? birthdays have really lost their attraction for me. I remember when I was younger (i.e. - when I was 16, last year ;) ) It would be exciting, but I'm just too tired and content in not really caring about much now that it doesn't matter. 2) - I'm absolutley shitting it big style. I found out on tuesday that I've got my medicine interview for glasgow uni next wednesday, and I'm pretty scared. I've been told that they might ask u about the music u like, and I don't know if they would be put off by my taste (they might think that I'm a corrupt vote rigger) any advice on interview 'technique' wouldn't go amiss. 3) did some more work experience in hospital. I got to hold someones large intestine, because it was lying in a bucket of formaldehyde. it was, erm, frightenigly fun. I might just go and work in a slaughterhouse instead. 4) I got another mail from mick cook the other day. He said that he has got 3 posters and 3 records signed by all the band to give me, because I asked him for something to raffle to help fund a project I'm doing to pay for an activity week for some mentally disabled kids. but he said that stuart david was ill right now, but he'd sign the stuff soon. I bet karn TOLD him to wrap up warm when going outside, but no, he thought he knew better....... 5) I got a job in next in argyl st. in glasgow on saturday mornings now. I'm in menswear. I am kind of horrified by this, but I need the money. I find that a lot of customers there are dicks, and so are some of the workers. £3.63 an hour - not too good, but it WILL go up. I almost asked the guy if I could get some more because I'm more intelligent than the average shop worker, but then I thought the better of it. 6) what are 'props', as in "props to mr. X, because.."? I seem to see it a lot. 7) I need good stage equiptment for the gigi I'm holding in january. I want big big big speakers and lights ect., and a big smoke machine would be really good too. can anyone help? I've not got that much money to spend on the pa equiptment, so it'll have to be cheap. cheerio Babychris CRYSTALBALLS (can I still use the "baby" bit now that I'm 17?) __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
