Andrea, My Personal Groupie.
The band 'Chuck', of which i was an exponent, recently reformed and decided to change our name to 'Small Town Strays', to confirm the rumours that we are all abandoned cats and dogs from Havelock North. In a state of utter coolness, Andrea (whom i was talking about in my last post, not to be confused with the girl Rob was talking about), at my request, did us some band art. ( Pictures! )This might be a good time to tell you that Small Town Strays' first show is on the 10th of December at the backyard of one Sam Hegarty, who lives on Brookvale Road, opposite Guthrie Park. Because Sam happens to have a pool, we're calling it the 'small town strays official pool party'. ('Official' really means nothing, it just makes it sound cooler). It'll start about 7:30. By that i mean that music will start about 7:30, so come at 7pm. Camellia Flame should be supporting us, so we can all have a perv at their musicality. Current Mood:  satisfied | | 11:00 am |
Upbeats and Beatdowns says: thought i'd just come on and talk to a girl rob - Open Your Eyes, Slave! says: fair enough rob - Open Your Eyes, Slave! says: I wish I could talk to a girl on msn. rob - Open Your Eyes, Slave! says: That'd almost be like sex. Interestingly enough, i didn't have to edit these quotes. Makes you wonder, doesn't it? Kinda like Vic University. Current Mood:  listless | | Friday, November 19th, 2004 | | 11:26 am |

The Uplift Mofo Party Plan says: why the heck does everyone want my thigh bananas? The Uplift Mofo Party Plan says: they're bananas, from my thighs! The Uplift Mofo Party Plan says: they have pretty much nothing going for them! ///ÐëåfêñРߥ tHê wHï§Þ뮧/// says: but they're thigh bananas ///ÐëåfêñРߥ tHê wHï§Þ뮧/// says: when you put the two together ///ÐëåfêñРߥ tHê wHï§Þ뮧/// says: its quite a concoction The Uplift Mofo Party Plan says: concoction, in which one of the ingredients are MY THIGHS!

I don't want to be an Emo fag!! I chose my answers in an attempt to avoid this!
 you're emo! If it were Ro Miller, he'd call you an Emo Fag. How can I label you? brought to you by QuizillaI went to Wellington. At times it was good. At times it was bad. At times, (or time, singular) i saw Miss Karin Reinholt. Then, i come back to this dump of a town/life/computer. I had work this evening, and it just convinced me that i have to quit very soon. I'm saying i have to stay till the end of the holidays, then i can quit. That's like one week, so i can handle that. So where the hell is everyone? I remember, once, people would use MSN at this time of night, and whine to eachother about angst ridden woes of the day just overcome. 'Angst'. I know that i heard that word recently, and the situation was funny. Yes. Yellowcard. On the News, it was told to the world that Yellowcard (pop punk meets Nigel Kennedy, if you don't know) are all about angst. I think most of that speaks for itself. The great thing about wellington (well, there are many great things, but one of them...) is Real Groovy. This time, i got two Led Zeppelin albums, a Pearl Jam live bootleg, and a Dream Theater video, among other, less earth-shattering things. In Wellington i didn't see Thom, Alexander, Alexandra C, or Sam. I did, however, see a third Alex. This one was female, in a similar way to how Alexandra C is female. Perhaps the same way. She almost got a flat with Cam, but it wasn't to be. Oh yeah, that Cam guy. Don't ask me. If you want to know, e-mail him yourself. And here i am again, in Havelock North, getting a sore back from poor posture in the same old computer chair. I can't wait to leave my life behind.

I am the king of denial
Another day, another denial. Feels good. Ironically, i invented 'Girlfriends as an organised sport', but i'm coming last. Even Rob is further up the *score*card than me. Gravy. Actually, i'm not at all depressed. I'm happy. So there. In other news, i learned about half of stairway on guitar, and tonight i'll see whether my rap has taken over the world. I seriously doubt that it has, but we'll see. I didn't get enough sleep last night. The way i sleep is: i listen to CDs, on my 3-CD player. I then remember what song i heard up to, and deduce how long i slept for. Last night, i heard all of coldplay, all of portishead, and fell asleep on the first song of Zwan. This means that i got less that seven hours sleep, which is detrimental, and means that i'm all fidgety in the morning (at OS class). Apparently Keith Moon died today in 1978. Stink. He was cool, but he partied too hard. No further news, your honour. Current Mood:  good | | Sunday, September 5th, 2004 | | 2:48 pm |
Teen Angst Central. I hate myself, and the world hates me. Die Death Emo Emo Blood Grind Suicide
FIRSTS First job: New World Havelock North…hey look, I continue to have no life, even now. First screen name: ‘Rows’, probably First funeral: Great Auntie Hazel First pet: Otis the Cat. He still hasn’t died. First piercing/tattoo: Left ear First credit card: No. But seriously, who the heck cares? “yeah, as I recall, it was a mastercard, with a $1000 limit”. What the hell could you possibly work out about me from my credit card? First kiss: First one that mattered: First love: hmmm. Difficult to draw the line…Melanie, perhaps. First enemy: That Satan guy. He’s a dick. First big trip: Christchurch, when I was like 6 First concert: My first decent concert…maybe the Pink Floyd experience. First musician you remember hearing in your house: ABBA? The first record I really remember was ‘kaleidescopic vibrations’, but I’m not sure who the artiste was. THIS MOMENT I am listening to: The Who – Behind Blue Eyes I feel like: Having a girlfriend. I am thinking: I’m looking forward to seeing some girl tonight, but the situation could be more perfect. She knows whom she is, and what could be done. Unfortunately, it can’t be done, because it would ruin friendships. TODAY I woke up at: 8:36 I went to: Church (for the first time in ages) I have eaten: no meat. The weather is: Cloudy, but not overcast. Cool. I wish it was: The seventies YESTERDAY The weather was: slightly sunnier But I wish it had been: burning with the fire of a thousand suns I went to bed at: 4ish? After having watched: Butterfly Effect, Lost in translation RANDOMNESS You could hypnotize someone, what would you have them do?: tell me what they thought of me You had to choose only one thing to comfort you what would it be?: maybe music. One thing? Maybe ‘Tommy’ by the Who. This is perhaps the best album in the world ever, and it cheers me right up. You had to name one thing that makes you the angriest, what would it be?: My own failure toward life in general You had to name one thing that makes you the happiest, what would it be?: ‘Nothing Else Matters’ at Metallica, BDO, 2004. That was overwhelming. Not happiest, but it was amazing What is one thing someone would have to do, be or have to woo your lover?: I don’t know. I tend to do it for no reason, almost at random. A beautiful, well-used smile wouldn’t go amiss, I suppose What is the worst single fashion trend you hate the most right now?: those HEINOUS tan suede boots that skanks wear…you know, with the fur trim…if my girlfriend got them, I’d probably murder her. Would you wear it anyway?: What do you mean ‘anyway’? There’s no alternative reason. I hate them completely! So you know, “even though you hate them completely, would you wear them”. No. I wouldn’t kill a cow to make that crap! Who would you allow to read your thoughts for one day?: A great many people. How many people have read my journal (not LJ)? Rob, for one. How outspoken and candid are you?: I’m not afraid of telling the truth Who do you wish was MORE candid with you?: Barnesy. He rarely tells me anything of importance. More often, I get conversations such as that one about ‘crazy penis’. Who do you wish was LESS candid with you?: Why would I want that? What scent evokes a memory for you?: Beeswax. It makes me remember my dread wax, which makes me remember my dreads. Oh boy, I miss them. What is that memory?: Man these questions rule. You have to change places with someone you know for the day, who is it?: Depends…places or lives…probably Rob in either case Have you ever spread a rumor: perhaps How true was it?: I so don’t remember any particular cases What term or word do you feel you overuse?: ‘Particular’ What term or word do you feel others overuse?: ‘Rowan, you’re a faggot’…yeah, that one could be used less… How long is too long to wait in line?: Way too general…in line for what? What is the last movie you saw?: Lost in translation What movie do you want to see?: Elephant Name someone you know now that you wish you could have known as a child: I really don’t know…I think knowing them as a child would put them off being my friend now…I was a terrible child. Contraversely, I’m a terrible teenager, so what’s new? | | Monday, July 12th, 2004 | | 11:21 am |

I'm Sick.
You know what cures sickness? Visitors, and Chocolate. Either would be pretty nice right about now. What have i done today? Not much really. I played a little bit of guitar. I wrote two verses to a song i started ages ago, but decided it sounded better without them. Not much else, i don't think. Listened to Portishead - Roseland NYC Live, as i just bought it, and it's decent. I have a craving to see the following movies, if anyone's interested: E.T., City of Angels, Those Magnificent Men and Their Flying Machines. Probably City of Angels the most, because it's beautiful. In other news: - Played Ska band on Friday night, which was decent. - Clocked sonic the hedgehog 1 for megadrive on Thursday night. - Watched Matt Smith get raped by a dog yesterday. - Watched Matt Smith explain to Sharanna that he got raped by a dog. - Sibylle went home (like Switzerland home) yesterday morning. It was quite saddening). That's about it. I hope everyone is having a good life. Current Mood:  tired | | Tuesday, June 15th, 2004 | | 11:30 pm |

Tuesday, 1.52. 1 hour more class to go.
I just read through my friends page, and i'll say it. LJ sure is depressing. Not to say that i'm depressed (and everybody hates me, because I AM TEEN ANGST MAN!!!), but nge. For the record, i now look very little like the picture of me. My hair is kinda long, and i have pretty killer sideburns. I'm not Max, i'm...(TEEN ANGST MAN!)...something else. Today will be the first day, out of four, that i won't be hanging with Cam, Ange & Alice. That sure has been fun. I'm not going to go to theatresports practise today (because i'm a rebel rebel, like David Bowie). Nah, just because it's crappy. Ken hasn't been there three weeks in a row, yet he owes me money. So, for the last three theatresports practises, we've just been (ok, Brad's Been) making obscene calls that aren't particularly funny. I've been leaving early, and DRIVING myself home (capitalisation for emphasis). I saw Samantha and Ben Clancy from maze today at lunchtime. I saw them separately, as well, which led to me being bored for less lunchtime than usual. I'm kinda in the mood for picking up this computer, and throwing it through the window. The window doesn't open, and this room is on the third floor. It'd be fan-bloody-tastic. Woah. 1403. Freakin EXTREME...what's that...11 fewer minutes to get through. Hey, that's kinda wierd. Theatresports practise isn't even on today...what was i thinking...today is Tuesday... TODAY IS TUESDAY!!! A bad call, like the Sith, hasn't been heard of in nigh on a millenia! No, wait, there's one. (just for you, Rob.) Are the Waltons any good? Do they have mullets? Do they all play the bass, and look dorky while doing it? Are they from England, but nobody knows whereabouts? Do they cover the Talking Heads' "And She Was"? Do they Give Rowan pocket watches? (i think that would be particularly cool) If all of these were true, i'd be wierded out. I'm going to go, but just to make you feel like you're missing out on something, the secret thing that was on my mind is still on my mind, and guess the hell what! I'm not telling you (BECAUSE I'M TEEN ANGST MAN!!!) Current Mood: I HATE BECAUSE I CAN | | Saturday, May 1st, 2004 | | 12:02 pm |
Takeabreak.exe.... mmmm....so relaxing
From the franticity, and kinda freaking out confusion that went on last week (the second week of holidays), my life hit a patch of general clarity. I've been hanging out with, and getting very close with, Cam "Social King" Bisley. That's super, because he's one of the only people i can talk about ANYTHING with....like the time that we both decided that girls clothing was more comfortable...anyway... EIT is generally pretty bungholio at the mo. I just can't be freaking bothered. I had two tests this week. Fortunately they were both very easy, or i would've died from not bothering to study. About the only cool EIT thing was that i made a CAT5 cable in hardware...woo. I changed my work hours to make allowance for rehearsals of 'the importance of being earnest', but secretly stopped working Saturdays as well, so the throngs hangouts can become even more lucrative. I'm listening to Days of the New's red album for the first time...it's different. I've got something on my mind, but i'm not telling you what it is, because i don't think you need to know, and also, i have no idea who you all are. GOOD DAY SIR!

So What's New?
I think the end of my 'Killer Spreadsheet Assignment' is in sight. Only one worksheet, two graphs, and four workbooks to go. (yippee). I think i can probably do it in a day though...like a day other than today. I woke up at midday today, and it was 1310 before i was ready for action. This is partly due to: THE FINEST SHAVE I'VE HAD IN MY LIFE. This is because, after shaving for like 2.5 years, i had my first shaving cream shave. It was bliss. And i wasn't all itchy and semi-shaven afterwards...what a bonus. I played some banjo before. Because i'm rocking the mobile tuning on guitar, banjo isn't that hard...you've just got to work out which strings go with which. Does anyone know where my Garbage shirt is? I don't, which is a pity, as i particularly like it, and it's one of only 2 (i sold my def leppard one for $20) band shirts i own. I want to go to the movies tomorrow! SO THERE! Maybe i should organise this.... ...................... Current Mood: indifferent | | Sunday, April 18th, 2004 | | 6:48 pm |
NYDS '04
The fourth of the NYDS's. It was good. I had fun. It was also wierd. Needless to say, girls were involved... Actually, i think this NYDS was the most feminine yet. By that i mean that about 80% of the students were female. Hmmm. I don't think i need to go into details on that one. I think the word 'awkwardness' would sum it up nicely, though. Or 'neglect'. I was in Doco class, and we made a documentary about love. It was tremendously super, and everybody loved it lots. But now it's over. The Sunday afternoon wasn't nearly as emo as last year, as i had very few people to say goodbye to. Liv, Chelsea, Tom, Paddy, Isaac...and that's scraping the bottom of the barrel. I'm not sure whether i'll go back or not. We'll see. Current Mood: complacent | | Saturday, April 10th, 2004 | | 12:38 pm |
The True Meaning of Cold.
As a scarer at the maze, my job is to wear shorts. My job is to wear only shorts. After three hours in a rather wintry night, i was so cold that: - My dexterity dropped to the point where my signature looked like that of a three year old - Every muscle in my body ached from shivering. - I couldn't walk normally. In other news, i drove to town today (because i can). There was such a high intensity of traffic, it was insane. It took me 10 minutes (not joking) to get out of the warehouse carpark. I went into Gaystink to return frankenstein and 1984, and to buy music. I ended up getting Pink Floyd's the wall, and Pearl Jam's Lost Dogs, at a total of about $31. I thought this a pretty good deal. I have a little bit of make up still on my face from last night. It's kinda maroon eye shadow, that makes me look like the king of influenza. Oh, there's this big white patch of wall where i removed a poster, and i think i might draw a picture to cover it (white wall has no place in my room). What do you all think i should do a picture of?

Dirty Great Big DIN Socket.
(DIN is short for Deustche Industry Standard). After Thursday night, i felt like telling you all ou there in Angst-Land about my work. But i won't. Because i don't want to. I'll inform you, that yesterday, being Thursday, though not for this reason, i made myself a headband. Yup, i sewed it. I'm such a man. It's orange. I like it lots. By headband i mean the kind that they wear in Canada (and other snowy places) to keep their ears warm. I'm tired. Current Mood: tired | | Thursday, March 25th, 2004 | | 8:34 am |
