So It's been a while but I don't see the point in blogging all the time if I have nothing to say. This time I do, alot.

So I got my new bass and I love it, although I feel a bit bad as I've spent all this money and I've now only just noticed a few things I don't like; the neck is a bit too wide and I only have small hands so it is a bit akward, it is a short scale bass - which if you read back I said I wouldn't buy, and the top cratchplate is too close the the stinrgs so I end up bruising my thumb after every gig. On top of that the shape of the bass body is odd so I will end up with a sore patch on my arm every time I play (I am used to a smoothed edge bass as opposed to a slightly more refined cut) and the case which I love and has been doodled on gives me blisters when I carry it. So I am a bit gutted about all that, but the blisters will fade and I will get used to it (fingers crossed).

On Father's day I got up at 7am and baked some cookies for my Dad, although he didn't eat them until later that day, we then drove to go bungee jumping - which ironically was my birthday present from a while ago. All I can say is 'Again, again, again!' Then I got back just in time to set off for a gig at another local pub, the first gig in which I sang and it went amazingly. The lights were brilliant, but very hot and sweat was dripping off me (which is ever so attractive). Now I will tell you, I hate singing infront of people, so that day was a special day for me, I was fine with it as no-one was too fussed. Until the end that was, Z's dad and sister made a few comments, I know they are just joking but when they take the mess out of my singing it hurts, just a little bit, especially when I have to go up on stage infront of people I don't nessecarily like and do something I hate. But afterwards several people came up to us and said how good we were so I am thrilled. The one downside of meeting and greeting the other bands (one other band was shocking, didn't bring amps or cymbols and did rubbish covers all night) was that one of the others bands fans got my number and won't stop texting me, turns out she is going to my school in september aswell - joy.

Anyway, that night I got a text off a friend of mine who I have liked on and off, in lamens terms I think something could work, but then he buggers off and doesn't talk to me for 2 weeks etc. But we had a nice chat and I can't wait to see him again soon.

RANT SECTION
I have this 'friend', I used to hate her, then Yuuka met her and became her and my friend so I gave Livvy the benefit of the doubt that she was changed. Now Livvy had told the entire school a secret of mine and used it against a good friend (who then proceded to not talk to me for about 3 months - I was infatuated with him at the time bear in mind) and thought nothing of it. That aside, we had become good friends and I thought she was changed, then a few weeks back we had a huge argument and I told her what I thought; basically that she only thought of herself, didn't try to be anyones friend and hadn't actually changed, it got messy and so we said we would 'leave it there' even though I had alot I could've said to her. Anyway, she is planning Yuuka's birthday party, and when Yuuka 'found out' she went mental at the person, one of my best friends, I wasn't happy, Yuuka has known all along and yet she still mouthed off at Web-foot (he actually has webbed feet, it's awesome) so I decided there and then I was not going. I think I wouldn't have gone anyway, even though Yuuka is one of two friends I would trust with anything, Livvy is making such a big deal of planning this party and it has been moved from one venue to the next about 10 times now, I am sick of it, and I know Livvy will want all the credit so I refuse to go on that basis aswell. Now for the real rant; Yuuka's boyfriend Gavman has a troublesome father, now the day before father's day said Dad tried to commit suicide, Yuuka and Gavman have been in a state for quite a few days now, lack of sleep, worrying, not eating properly - they are getting better, but Yuuka wanted to talk to someone about it, and since Livvy has been wanting Yuuka's attention constantly Yuuka chose to talk to Livvy about it; after she said a summed up version (much like I have given you) Livvy said 'Shit.....Guess who phoned me at the weekend?' then went on about her (non-existant) love-life. How fucking selfish can you get?!?! Sorry, I don't like to swear much, but that was out of order. Whatever I liked about Livvy before (the miniscule amount) has just gone down the drain. RANT OVER

So yeah, that was my past few days; although I have a problem, the guy mentioned earlier - I don't think anything can come of it as he is too here and there and I don't want the hassle. But there is another guy, call him Zeus; Zeus is obnoxious, God hating (I don't believe, but he slates them 24/7), wayy too muscley, and just nothing like my 'type' (the usualt type of guys I go for). But this past few days I am starting to think more and more that I may like him. But I don't know whether it is one of those, 'you've been single too long now Zee' things or whether I should pursue it more. No-one knows about my possible feelings, not that I care much for what people think, but there would be many words spread I can tell you - he is not known for being attractive or friendly towards females and all his past relationships failed terribly. Add onto that the fact that all my friends know he isn't my type and it would be a shock to them if I mentioned it and the fact I don't think he notices me in that way I don't know what to do. I don't like risks, I don't like confrontations, I'm at a loss.

Anyway, signing off for the night - reading a little bit about Clarance Darrow.

 Odd, in one day I managed to piss off an umpa lumpa (not really, just some tanned to hell, arrogant dumpy kid that thinks she is God), almost is through a gay scene in 'Alexander' the film (don't get me wrong, I am all for anyone loving whoever they want, but any make-out scenes make me uncomfortable, man-man, woman-woman, man-woman etc. especially when there are several immature guys watching and commenting). Although I think what I have seen of the film is fantastic, infact I was so into the despricption of the film I told my mum it was filled with 'gud and bluts' - blood and guts. That is one of our new topics in Ancient History, I LOVE that lesson. I dropped Psychology finally after hating it for a year. Now I love psychology, just not the constant essay writing, I guess I will just carry on watching all the documentries about it like I did before I took Psychology. We started our new topic in RE, Free Will and Determinism, now we covered that in Psychology last year so I know quite a bit about it. It is very thought provoking and I love it. So that was school, after school me and two friends (band mates) went into a guitar shop as I was interested in buying a new bass guitar. An hour later we walked out; G £5 down from lending me it to buy acoustic strings for my guitar, Zo £10 down from putting a deposit on my new bass guitar. Yeah, a new bass guitar - seriously, I should not be allowed in shops. It is my lovely new Ibanez Jet King Bass in black (Yet another black guitar, that makes 3 now - but I'm going to paint it) see below.

So yeah, then when I got home I told my parents - they weren't suprised, I usually shock them in one way or another. I then got a phonecall off Zo who is selling my Download Ticket - a dude lives half an hour away and wants to collect it, he will pay £180 in cash. Now I am odd - I want as much money as possible, but I don't like to cheat people out of money either. So I accepted the offer, I only gained £5 but I made someone happy and I am happy. There was the chance that no-one would buy it and then I would be down £175. But this cash means I can put £80 onto my bass, meaning less to pay before I actually get it. I can pay Jamie back his £40, I can buy Zo's birthday present (I'm going to paint her some pictures, fingers crossed it will turn out well), pay back Zo and G for the money they lent me earlier, and also put £40 away for my parents anniversary present. So once I have done all these little bits tomorrow, I will owe £110 on my guitar and that's it. Then when I get £40 off my parents as a monthly thing, I will only have to buy my brothers present (£10 or so) and Yuuka's present (£20ish) and have £10 left over for the bass, plus I should be gettin paid £30 from work on Wednesday and then I will only owe £70!!! That is two shifts of work =0) Then I can quit that godawful job. Freeeedom!!!

So that was my day =0) I'm sure it wasn't as interesting as some of the controversial topics people write about, I just thought I could entertain you with a day in the life of a 17 year old British kid.

Zee.

P.S Anyone who has read my other posts, I am going on a date with Aaron tomorrow, I'm going to tell him some way or another that I don't like him like that, I am going to feel awful - but it's for the best.

P.P.S Sims3 still hasn't come! Pickle ordered it on Monday and it arrived on Thursday, I ordered mine in bloody January and it still hasn't arrived *fumes*

Did I tell you I don't take Psychology anymore? Double free tomorrow morning! Booyah!!
