Is it just me or do birthday's always seem to go wrong? No matter how good you feel that morning something bad happens!

Yesterday was my birthday. Everything was great until I left the house for school! I feel in my driveway and really bruised myself up. I was panicing (sp?) cos I couldn't feel my thumb. I had to go to the doctor's and get x-rays. Ack! I damaged some nerves so my elbow and thumb are gonna be meesed up for awhile. Some birthday huh?

By Lucky on Thursday, January 24, 2002 - 07:10 pm:

Eh dear... well, at least you had SOME fun before that happened. Happy belated birthday anyway.

By indigo on Friday, January 25, 2002 - 10:01 am:

awww, poor open. Happy birthday anyway! How old are you now then?

By chrisZ on Friday, January 25, 2002 - 11:15 am:

open sesame LOL

By OpenRomantic on Friday, January 25, 2002 - 02:19 pm:

Thanks Lucky and indigo. Actually I didn't have that much fun before I fell. I was just in a good mood. I fell at 7 in the morning so it basically ruined my whole day! My friends to me out so the day became a little better. I'm 17, btw.

By ChrisZ on Friday, January 25, 2002 - 02:43 pm:

LOL

By OpenRomantic on Friday, January 25, 2002 - 04:48 pm:

What's so funny ChrisZ?

Life does downhill when you lose your sexual peak, theres nothing to look forward to past 19 it only gets worse for blokes

By indigo on Saturday, January 26, 2002 - 10:51 am:

Ah I'm 17 too O.R. . Exciting isn't it? *ho hum*
So are you starting to learn how to drive?

By Lucky on Saturday, January 26, 2002 - 01:47 pm:

*feels small*

By Micky {The Lad} on Saturday, January 26, 2002 - 02:03 pm:

I went to this birds birthday party the other night yeah, walked thru the door and saw her sitting all miserable like on the sofa yeah, with some mingey Uni cunt singing Unhappy Birthday to her by the fooking Smiths! Talk about a fooking downer. Anyroad I helped meself to some lagers from her fridge yeah, pushing her fat little brother who looked a bit like a miniature Brett outta the way and onto his arse where he belonged. Pudgey little geezer needed the exercise in getting back up to drop a few pounds. Took him a while getting back up too, eh. A few too many beef burgers in his gutz so I gave him some advice yeah: "JOIN A FOOKING FOOTY TEAM LIKE A REAL MAN AND GET FIT LIKE YOURS TRULY HERE."
Anyroad then I went back into the main room with all the peeps and yours truly proceeded to give that bitch the best b-day she'd ever had yeah, ending with a right good rogering in her parents bed! Great jugs yeah, great fooking body she had on her.
I'm not the sort of lad to boast about the birds he bags yeah, but PHWOAR yeah, this one was a REAL shiner. I reckon I'll get this diamond into triple figuires before the months out! Fuck eh.

My luv to all the Coping ladeez as usual.
Luv,
Micky

By sarki on Saturday, January 26, 2002 - 05:32 pm:

Hahaha, sniff sniff
i smell bullshit

By Micky {The Lad} on Sunday, January 27, 2002 - 08:15 am:

It might be time to change yer pants then. Chachaboomboom!

By Sarki on Sunday, January 27, 2002 - 09:10 pm:

Sarki is king!

By OpenRomantic on Monday, January 28, 2002 - 04:51 pm:

I should have drivers license by now but I haven't even attempted to get into any classes. I'm not to sure about driving. I have some friends who have their licenses so I just bum rides off of them.

Why do you feel small Lucky? Is it because you're younger? Don't worry about it. I remember when I first started coming here I was 15 and I'd be in a chat full of 20-30 year olds. Talk about feeling small. I still feel small.

Ack! My arm looks like it's gotten 10 times worse! It's all gooey and it bleeds like hell. I hope it's not infected! Sorry for the description. I could've really gotten into it but I chose not to for the sake of peeps that might be reading this that may have just eaten.

Cheers!

By Luckovic on Tuesday, January 29, 2002 - 05:44 pm:

Yep I'm younger. You'd think after being at this board for yonks I'd be older than SOMEONE! Haha, ah well.

By Hallie on Tuesday, January 29, 2002 - 10:11 pm:

Lucky's um ... around 16?
I'm another seventeener. I came in with that influx of 14 yr old girls a few years back, the ones that everyone would make fun 'cos we were, well, 14 yr old girls ...

So things really do get worse before they get better. I hope yours is getting better, O.R.!

By Lucky on Wednesday, January 30, 2002 - 10:46 am:

Indeedily doodliy. Just another six months ago and I shall catch up with you lot yet again! Mwahahaha! All your age are belong to us...

By indigo on Wednesday, January 30, 2002 - 04:49 pm:

Are you pissed Lucky? Anyway, I've got a thumping headache, and I just found 2 articles about Blur on nme.com! Damon's playing (gulp) "world music" with some people from Mali at some concert on the South Bank, and they've almost finished pissing about with that Beagle 2 thing ! yay!

http://www.nme.com/news/100599.htm (Beagle 2)

http://www.nme.com/news/100532.htm (Damon details)

By Lucky on Thursday, January 31, 2002 - 09:33 am:

Maybe... I think that spray paint got to my brain. Aaah, tis good to see Blur stuff again. Let's hope they stick to their vow of bringing us an album in June! I can't wait I can't wait I can't wait...

By indigo on Thursday, January 31, 2002 - 05:35 pm:

Well, there was some rumour that they won't be releasing it until next year!!! Argh! But then there are also rumours that they're playing at least one festival this year - and for the first time ever, I'm going to Glastonbury, V2002 and Reading! woohoo!

By Lucky on Friday, February 1, 2002 - 07:33 am:

Wow! Sheeshman I'm jealous... I've never been to any of those. One of my mates went to Reading last year (or was it the year before?) to see Marilyn Manson, and GRAHAM was playing there too! And all he said was "Oh yeah, there was some new band that you might've liked... called themselves the Roxons, I think." AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!! Life is so unfair.

By indigo on Friday, February 1, 2002 - 04:55 pm:

well, this is the first year I've been to any festivals - my mum promised I could go last year but she booked the "family holiday" over V2001 AND Reading, and Glastonbury was cancelled! I went out and bought a weeny blue tent in the winter sales, and I'm getting all excited!

By Luckovic on Saturday, February 2, 2002 - 01:29 pm:

Oooh stop it, yer making me even more envious of thou. As a result of spending my entire weekend on my art coursework and nothing else, I had a history detention today. Doesn't that sound ridiculous? A detention for history! What a world...

By heather on Sunday, February 3, 2002 - 12:10 am:

can i please ask something lucky? I'm in my final year and doing art... what is you're "concept" for your major art work?? are you from pom land, i'm from aus.
ps i'm 16 and turning 17 on 27th feb, get me there now
*and i could get my P's and drive around on my 17th birthday, but you have to do a certain amount of hours, sigh, its all rather annoying

By Scamp! on Sunday, February 3, 2002 - 06:15 am:

All birthday's are crappy after you're about 12 years old.
Conclusion.

By heather on Sunday, February 3, 2002 - 07:16 am:

hm, but then you get those bitchy borthday parties when you're younger and have to invite alot of people you dont like, and eat off cocktail frankurts.

By Lucky on Sunday, February 3, 2002 - 03:01 pm:

Or you could just cross your fingers and hope your friends throw you a surprise one. Corny, yes, but they're still fun. My art project was on mythical creatures cos they're fab to draw! No I'm not a pom.

By indigo on Sunday, February 3, 2002 - 08:45 pm:

I'm doing an art project on Andy Warhol and the representation of musical type celeb people in art - I'm making a trip to London on Wednesday, ostensibly for my Courtauld's interview but actually to go see the Blur portraits again. mmmmmmmm....

A girl in my art class last year did her project on mythical creatures because she was always drawing them. I noticed she hadn't been around for a while, and i got a bit concerned (she'd been the target of some really bitchy bullying) and then I found out that she just decided to leave school in the middle of 6th form to go write fantasy novels about unicorns!

By The Occifer on Monday, February 4, 2002 - 07:45 am:

That sounds like an interesting project, indigo. I've become rather interested in old Andy of late. You've got to dig the wig, dont you?
One of my larger regrets and bigger embarrassments in life was choosing to study Economics over Art in Senior. I'm still dumbfounded over that decision. Why would anyone do that? I dont know. And it's not as though I learnt anything. I never even know how much money is in my account.

By Lucky on Monday, February 4, 2002 - 04:31 pm:

Unicorns?! Hahaha, that's sweet. Don't bullies suck? I got no end of it when I was 12 or something, but then I picked up a guitar and my life was saved!! It's weird how you get respect if you can play an instrument you need to plug in...

By The Occifer on Monday, February 4, 2002 - 04:53 pm:

As a kid I never really got bullied, but this one guy called Christian Shields used to give me a hard time as a seven year old because he was jealous of my watch. He was a pretty scary looking bastard, and he'd tell me that he was going to smash my watch on my cock and shove it up my ass until it came out my ears, etcetera.
Anyway, my Mum's the type of person who sees the positive side of anyone and took a shine to young Christian on a field trip our class was taking one day. She must've volunteered to help out or something. Anyway, she had no idea he was my bully, and gave him a banana at lunch time because he was hungry. From that day on he was nice to me and would ask how my mother was and when she was coming back to our school. I guess if we were seven years older he would've resorted to the old "I shagged your mommah last night with that banana she gave me" type routine, but we were a bit young for that in Grade 2.

By indigo on Monday, February 4, 2002 - 05:50 pm:

awww, glad that worked out for you. I've never been bullied (even though I was the speccy, non-sporty girl listening to random indie bands and making friends with the odd people - hey, who am i kidding! I still am!), I think because I'm just too damn self-confident, so was quite happy to laugh in some bitches face. Learning karate helped a bit too I have to admit. When you've broken a boys arm by accident in the playground you tend to get a bit of respect!

By Luckograph on Tuesday, February 5, 2002 - 02:04 pm:

Haha! Cool. I'm just really quiet most of the time, and people used to mistake that for snobbery... pretty bad impression. Wish I'd learned karate - then I'd have been a lethal 'snob'... mwahahahaa!

By infomatic on Tuesday, February 5, 2002 - 10:27 pm:

yeah, but then you'd have run the danger of being really quiet until someone pissed you off so much you snapped, hit them, broke their nose, got expelled from school, never got a job and ended up homeless on the streets of Slough, having gnawed off both your arms out of hunger, eventually dying when someone throws you a coin in sympathy which hits you in the eye and gives you a fatal brain haemorrage. Is that what you want? Cos that's what'll ahppen!

By The Occifer on Wednesday, February 6, 2002 - 03:08 pm:

More deja vu! Indigo?

By Lucky on Wednesday, February 6, 2002 - 06:48 pm:

Oh right. I'm too old for karate anyway... pfft. But... who's ever been expelled from a school for breaking someone's nose?!

By indigo/ infomatic on Wednesday, February 6, 2002 - 07:11 pm:

Umm.. hopefully anyone who did? Anyway, yes, infomatic is actually me. I think I started using infomatic as a name when I was just cut and pasting news reports from nme.com, and I was worried I was boring the arse off people. Yeah, I kinda gave it away in that last post didn't I - I'm sure I've posted something very similar as indigo. Taking an idea and running with it. And then falling over a cliff. Ah well!

By Nat on Wednesday, February 6, 2002 - 10:13 pm:

Haha, Indigo! Oh my, I just noticed NOW that that post is under a different name ... what thinly veiled cover! (aw, can't hide yerself, RB!)

By Lucky on Thursday, February 7, 2002 - 04:13 pm:

I was once 238. Remember 238? You don't???? Ah well.

By indigo on Thursday, February 7, 2002 - 08:53 pm:

nooo.... hang on, you only ever posted under that name on the unsuccessful "Graham's Guitars" topic. 3 times. Oh actually, I've only ever posted 3 times as infomatic, but it was on 3 different topics. Oh, and as anonymous of course. but then, everyone's done that - haven't they?

By shellie on Friday, February 8, 2002 - 11:06 am:

*shrugs*
mmmkay.
lol

By OpenRomantic on Friday, February 8, 2002 - 02:10 pm:

Yup. I've posted as anonymous before. I'm also nepo and CitnamorNepo. That's just open and OpenRomantic backwards so it's not really like I'm trying to disguise myself.

By Karla on Friday, February 8, 2002 - 05:55 pm:

I've never posted as Anonymous

By Luckyduh on Friday, February 8, 2002 - 06:39 pm:

Hah, I bet you haven't!

I spose 238 wasn't much of a disguise, y'know, going on about Graham AND guitars... But hey, I was scared to be Lucky, I didn't recognise anyone! Still dunno why I started that topic... I solved my own question within a few hours...

By Karla on Friday, February 8, 2002 - 06:58 pm:

I swear on my mother's grave I haven't

By heather on Saturday, February 9, 2002 - 06:38 am:

INDIGO + OFFICER; What an interesting coincidence, I was going to do pop art (andy warhol included) in the 60's and its affect on social change.. blah blha, for society and culture, this STUPID and hard subject. but i decided it wouldnt work for the project... so i'm not anymore.. but I am still really interested in the whole andy thing. its like, when you read up on stuff in art books, they're all fucking boring and damn hard to understand.. and who uses the word "undulating" anyway? but the books on andy are fun, they recount all this shit he's done with those people in the factory... and the docos they've made on him too... you know the woman he used to hang out with.. bridget i think? she was the over eater? they did a doco on her talking about andy, and it was just a really fascinating time. I dunno what its called, but I love the work with the huge blown up silver pillows floating around in a white room, its so beautiful and clever.

By indigo on Saturday, February 9, 2002 - 02:19 pm:

oh yeah that's gorgeous - there's a brilliant description by one of his boyfriends somewhere about the day they lets loads of those pillows off the roof of the Factory and they floated into the sky..

I've been watching the Warhol doco thats on channel 4 at the mo, and I have to say that Warhol was pretty cute in between the '62 nose job and the "mad professor" type look of the 80s. But they showed one of his wigs that had been kept in an envelope since he died, and all this grease had spread everywhere - urggghhh! other than that, warhol was a pretty cool guy.

By heather on Sunday, February 10, 2002 - 07:21 am:

yeah he was

I just did this big ancient history summary, and we're Hatshepsut, this woman pharaoh, and publisher doesnt seem to recognise that she's a very important part of egyptian history, and just UNDERLINES her name with shes some brand of american detergent. quite rude really

I'm seeing the chemical brothers rather soon. not that that relates to anything, expecially "crappy birthdays".. though neither does andy warhol i guess

By Lucky on Sunday, February 10, 2002 - 11:54 am:

Nice threads always carry on into stuff that doesn't relate to the topic in any shape, form or smell. Innit lovely?

By indigo on Monday, February 11, 2002 - 12:07 am:

there are only a few certai =n things in life - and that is one of the;m. aww im too tired to be typing!1

By Luckovic on Monday, February 11, 2002 - 11:53 am:

Good luck for the driving test!

By indigo on Monday, February 11, 2002 - 01:30 pm:

thanks luckola! just got back from it actually, and my instructor says I can book my real test now! Even though i spent 12 minutes trying to parallel park and then failed! Ah, the joys of driving.

By Da Luckster on Tuesday, February 12, 2002 - 12:30 pm:

Haha, well done anyway. I can't wait to learn too, but I'm a long way off. Right now I'll have to make do with my skateboard... hee.

By indigo on Wednesday, March 27, 2002 - 02:00 pm:

Did I ever mention that I failed my driving test? Can't remember - but I took a cancellation and I'm doing it all again on Tuesday! How exciting!

By Hallie on Saturday, May 11, 2002 - 06:33 am:

How did it turn out, Indigo? Btw, like Karla, I've never posted under Anonymous, just mostly variations of my own various names. Fact.

By indigo on Saturday, May 11, 2002 - 11:28 am:

Wow, well done Hallie - do you never have the temptation to bitch about people or reply to really dense posts with anonymous? I passed the driving test - it was the Tuesday after the Easter bank holiday and the town was empty of all traffic except buses, and there was only one examiner working. He was so desperate to be back on time, I only did half a reverse park and he said it was fine, and I didn't have to reverse around a corner or do an emergency stop. In fact, I tried to do a hill start in 3rd gear, stalled, and he didn't really notice!

By JEFF FOLKOFF on Monday, May 13, 2002 - 07:40 am:

I PROMISED ERIC I WOULDNT TELL ANYBODY

By Hallie on Wednesday, May 15, 2002 - 08:03 pm:

No, Indigo, I haven't - I feel like I'm trying to make apology for the thing I was saying/doing (and I'm very much in a state of trying to accept every part that comes out - even the stupid, bollocky bits. Though since I've got several names to go under, I can spread it out enough to satisfy a degree of anonymity.)

Congratulations on your license! (It's been a year and a half and I haven't even tried...)

Ooh, I just picked my outfit for the fashion show! It's a beige t-shirt thing that poufs on the chest and hugs 'round the tummy, with a black lace corset on top, and a plain beige skirt with a little flair and ruffle along the bottom. It's SO all getting bought after the show! (might through in my sleeves and boots to wear that night too...)

Have a lovely day everyone!

By Hallie on Wednesday, May 15, 2002 - 08:04 pm:

oh shite, where's my head? "throw" in ...
