Ask Yourself? - Restless Youth


So today I woke up early to be at the job centre for 9.20am to officially sign on the dole. I filled in all the forms and listened to this out of breath, overweight, possibly Canadian bloke tell me about all the awesome jobs I should apply for, most of them sucked and I decided from that point, I aint letting these pricks tell me what job is right for me. I trecked back home through the snow and made Sarah and myself some brews and I ate peanut butter on toast. Sarah left for work and I left soon after, I told Rob i'd hold the Trillians sign on Northumberland St for a few hours. This was probably the stupidest decesion I'd ever made. Although I was getting paid there is nothing at all fun about standing still outside for three hours when its minus four and snowing. Luckily the girl who worked in Trills leant me some gloves. My hands were fucked from the freezing cold. I didnt really hold the sign though, I just leant it against a signpost and built a snow mound around the bottom so it didnt fall over. By the end I couldnt feel my face, hands or feet, I dont think il be doing it again. If i didnt have my iPod I wouldve sacked it off within the first 15 minutes. I finished, picked up my £17, quickly handed some CV's out and got the bus home, stuck the heating straight on, made a cup of tea and stuck a pizza in the oven. I warmed up pretty fast, chilled for a bit, then headed up to Chilly rd to meet Foxy. Tonight was Emo band session #1, we arrived at Guildford Manor. Laff and Durham Joe were there, aswell as Innes', John and Kinch. We got straight down to buisness and Foxy came up with some sweet riffs. So we got started on writing song number one. We drank some Bru, smoked a litte, listened to loads of sweet twinkly bands for inspiration and tried to come up with a name, I still liked 1845!, because the potato famine was a pretty shit time, but no one was feeling it. Other rejected names were, Dawn Porter, Barlow, Gary Barlow, Gilmore, Bike Rides, Leaves and a load more. We eventually settled on "CAMILLES" which has something to do with the latin name of the plant Tea comes from. So thats it for now, unless something better comes up. First real practice is booked for tomorrow night and were all so stoked for it since weve been talking about this band for a long time. I headed back home around 11pm, chilled with Sarah and Amy for a bit then we watched the Notorious BIG film. We were well tired though so turned it off halfway and plan on watching the rest real soon.
