Like anyone is going to say this is classic. Why did I even bother?!

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Sunday, 19 September 2004 02:22 (twenty-one years ago)

Oh my God. Matt, you read my soul. Tell me why your night sucked. Then I'll tell you mine.

― sundar subramanian (sundar), Sunday, 19 September 2004 02:24 (twenty-one years ago)

God am I going to regret this later in the morning.

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Sunday, 19 September 2004 02:24 (twenty-one years ago)

Why having the internet at home has ruined my life in the space of one paltry month, #413.

At least it's morning where you are. I was back home by 10:15.

― sundar subramanian (sundar), Sunday, 19 September 2004 02:26 (twenty-one years ago)

And the worst thing is I am going to have to sit through another five days of my soul-crushing excuse for a job before I get to have that sudden tingle of exitement and anticipation crushed once again.

I MEAN SERIOUSLY, HOXTON TURNTABLISM WTF?!!!!!!

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Sunday, 19 September 2004 02:27 (twenty-one years ago)

Yeah, I know what you mean. Only one (one!) person I know was able to go out tonight, because of an evil stellar corrolation or something. That one person went home early because they felt ill. I rely on weekends to get my through my depression! Being around lots of noisy, happy people for a few hours. Well not this weekend. Now it's half four and I'm fed up.

At least you haven't spent your Saturday night trying to think of different house sub-genres on ILM.

After my date ended in just over an hour, the only dominating thought in my head was "I'll actually be able to catch SNL!" And Seth Parnell's doing such a lousy GW Bush it's not even worth it. (Of course there was some self-conscious defeatist misery and empty unanswered questioning in the interim.)

― sundar subramanian (sundar), Sunday, 19 September 2004 02:34 (twenty-one years ago)

Yeah, I even tried to stick it out in the pub once my friend left (usually on a night out you meet a fair number of random people you know), and I finished the pitcher. Man, I don't think there is much worse than sitting in a pub by yourself.

― Kevin Gilchrist (Mr Fusion), Sunday, 19 September 2004 02:34 (twenty-one years ago)

But Lindsay Lohan is hosting! Maybe it is worth it after all!

She is so not young enough for that to be pedophilia! And I don't 'love' her!

― sundar subramanian (sundar), Sunday, 19 September 2004 02:42 (twenty-one years ago)

I have to go to bed. Otherwise I will oversleep and miss Tottenham failing to beat Chelsea for the FOURTEENTH YEAR IN SUCCESSION. Because watching the game will really round the weekend off nicely. Aah, futility.

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Sunday, 19 September 2004 02:43 (twenty-one years ago)

That's why it's only 'quasi' - she still looks young, and that's part of her attraction.

So fucking dud and I want to got to bed but my roommates are in the other room watching TV too loud.

Miserable miserable miserable useless useless night of anguishing conversation that's worthless. Shallow useless people. Unthinking shallow useless people. Yeah, I'm done.

― Sterling Clover (s_clover), Sunday, 19 September 2004 03:35 (twenty-one years ago)

A quiet night here but that's because I was at two friends' kid's birthday party this afternoon and early evening and I was already tired and sugared out (good cake). I sympathize greatly with the premise of the thread, though...

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Sunday, 19 September 2004 03:55 (twenty-one years ago)

I tried to reassure her that my frequent yawns were due to my medication and not to boredom. I'm still trying to figure out if I was telling the truth.

― sundar subramanian (sundar), Sunday, 19 September 2004 04:26 (twenty-one years ago)

(Though the super-early termination was her initiative, so I'm not giving myself too much 'credit' or something. Like I'm sure anyone cares. I haven't really been yawning since getting home though, hmm.)

― sundar subramanian (sundar), Sunday, 19 September 2004 04:29 (twenty-one years ago)

I'm going to try to actually do something productive in the next couple hours so I don't actually waste the entire night so good night anyone who's still reading. Nice chatting to yas.

i went for a long walk last night to disguise my boredom. it didnt work.

― jess (dubplatestyle), Sunday, 19 September 2004 11:03 (twenty-one years ago)

Seriously, shit's not that bad. The last thing I want is fifteen people going "are you alright?" next time I see any of you in the pub.

I think the DJ playing My Generation as the last song of the night was the final straw, though. But I see this thread has taken on a whole new lease of life outside my drunken whingeing.

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Sunday, 19 September 2004 11:06 (twenty-one years ago)

DUD. last week was sleepless, it climaxed yesterday in a few arguments, slammed doors and nasty phone calls, but to be honest I can't complain cause this morning I heard a track that's changed everything. What I'm wondering now is if this track's as good as I think it is, or it's a result of yesterday's catharsis. Ach..

― nick.K (nick.K), Sunday, 19 September 2004 11:27 (twenty-one years ago)

Look at it this way after you get out of the depression: even in the throws of total despair you still have the nerve to go out and try to hook up with somebody and have a good time. That's vitality, motherfucker. It's never stops clicking! CHARGE!

― sexyDancer, Sunday, 19 September 2004 14:45 (twenty-one years ago)

i had a real feeling-of-emptiness moment a couple of weeks back. a band from LA who i'm friends with had one last night in London, so I hung out with them at the Death Disco club. the band who played were crap, the DJs really hackneyed and none of us were really in the mood to dance. i think we all knew we'd have been better off staying in at the hotel and just getting fucked up, but here we were, and it was grim. we were being pursued by a couple of goth girls who had recognised the band, but who seemed mortally afraid of talking to them, so we were in this dumb situation where we were in a club, not wanting to dance, where it was too loud to talk, and with these weird girls stalking our every move. so in the end we went our seperate ways, me home and them to the hotel, having told these girls that they were staying in room 407, and they should come back to the hotel in ten or so minutes for a party. room 407 was actually where their fucked-up and scary drummer was sleeping off several days of partying - ick. it was a downer night, oh yes, and i had such high hopes for it, and felt so bad that their last night in London was such a disappointment.

i really hate being out at what is supposed to be a big night, and its really crap, and we're all just standing around killing time and pretending its great. i can't handle it, i always leave early. and i hate nights out where you feel really disconnected from old and previously-close friends. often its just a temporary distance, but it really upsets me.

― stevie (stevie), Sunday, 19 September 2004 14:55 (twenty-one years ago)

yep seriously there's nothing worse, and it happens so often.

listen gang if any of u have access (and with p2p who *doesn't*?!)
to ed harcourt's 'loneliness' it'll cheer u up NO END! honest it will. he feels your pain. i like how THE WHO's my generation that put the dampener on everything upthread matt. boy do i feel that pain. i was in a queue for manchester's worst club* 2 months back and that same song came blaring out as i stood in the drizzle hating the thought of going in (but having to for 1 reason or another).

* don't ask

― piscesboy, Monday, 20 September 2004 01:59 (twenty-one years ago)

So I believe that I have come to terms with this breakup. But then some thread around here leads me to try to picture living the rest of my life alone -- that since my interpersonal skills are so lousy, no man I want will ever want to spend the rest of his life with me. This on top of the usual Sunday night feelings just crushed me all of a sudden.

― j.lu (j.lu), Monday, 20 September 2004 02:13 (twenty-one years ago)

This is what happens when you go out with hopes that are too high.

I was expecting this to be my Saturday night. Went out with the singletons (two of us newly single as well) and expected to sit around moping and bitching, but we went to a quiet pub, had several drinks, played the most shite we could find on the juke box, and ended up in an all-night lock-in.

I had no expectations at all, and it turned out to be GRATE. so you never know, do you?

― The 120 Days Of Streatham (kate), Monday, 20 September 2004 08:41 (twenty-one years ago)

not building Saturday night up to unrealistic levels/not expecting anything much at all seems the best way yes

― teh pow! (blueski), Monday, 20 September 2004 09:02 (twenty-one years ago)

Yep, accidental great nights out are the best. I think one of the happiest night of the last few years was one of those - quiet night down the pub which ended up with us throwing an impromptu party and spontenously forming a band and making this astonishing unholy racket in the basement until the early hours. We made the mistake of recording it and listening to it again the following day. Ouch.

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Monday, 20 September 2004 09:10 (twenty-one years ago)

I knew this was a Matt DC thread, which is kind of worrying? Sorry Matt, I don't know why, maybe I'm just psychic.

I didn't even leave the house on Saturday I don't think. Except to buy some yoghurt. Now that's AARRRGH.

― Archel (Archel), Monday, 20 September 2004 09:37 (twenty-one years ago)

So the relationship has been over for more than a year (and it only lasted a few months). For most of the time since the breakup I've kept telling myself that holding grudges is a waste of energy. Recently I've been mulling over the cliche "When one door closes another opens" -- intellectually I know that I need to close this door and let whatever is next in my life happen. (My life feels as if I'm stuck at a red light, because my personal life is lacking and my efforts to do something about my working life haven't succeeded.)
So I believe that I have come to terms with this breakup. But then some thread around here leads me to try to picture living the rest of my life alone -- that since my interpersonal skills are so lousy, no man I want will ever want to spend the rest of his life with me. This on top of the usual Sunday night feelings just crushed me all of a sudden.

-- j.lu (jlut...), September 20th, 2004.

Apart from my last "relationship" only having lasted a few months, and obviously change the gender at the end to "no woman I want" and "rest of her life" and this pretty much sums my situation up at the moment :-(

― Donnie Smith The Quiz Kid, Monday, 20 September 2004 10:08 (twenty-one years ago)

How did you know it was a Matt DC thread? Blimey, I'm not exactly one to start threads like this and you've only met happy dancing Matt, which is me 95% of the time. You must be psychic ;)

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Monday, 20 September 2004 10:14 (twenty-one years ago)

i knew that would be a Matt DC post

― teh pow! (blueski), Monday, 20 September 2004 10:33 (twenty-one years ago)

I know, there was no logical reason for me to think that at all... maybe I can use my psychic powers for ~~evil~~ good elsewhere on ILX. Hm.

― Archel (Archel), Monday, 20 September 2004 11:24 (twenty-one years ago)

Sunday nights are the new Saturday nights anyway...Leave Saturdays to the puking, fighting out-of-towners and their depressing mating rituals.

― Bob Six (bobbysix), Monday, 20 September 2004 15:50 (twenty-one years ago)

Use of the word "rubbish", Matt. Also you did say you were going out on the pull, which probably fated you to failure.

Or did you fail?

Well, I woke up Sunday morning
With no way to hold my head that didn't hurt.
And the beer I had for breakfast wasn't bad,
So I had one more for dessert.
Then I fumbled in my closet through my clothes
And found my cleanest dirty shirt.
Then I washed my face and combed my hair
And stumbled down the stairs to meet the day.

I'd smoked my mind the night before
With cigarettes and songs I'd been picking.
But I lit my first and watched a small kid
Playing with a can that he was kicking.
Then I walked across the street
And caught the Sunday smell of someone frying chicken.
And Lord, it took me back to something that I'd lost
Somewhere, somehow along the way.

On a Sunday morning sidewalk,
I'm wishing, Lord, that I was stoned.
'Cause there's something in a Sunday
That makes a body feel alone.
And there's nothing short a' dying
That's half as lonesome as the sound
Of the sleeping city sidewalk
And Sunday morning coming down.

In the park I saw a daddy
With a laughing little girl that he was swinging.
And I stopped beside a Sunday school
And listened to the songs they were singing.
Then I headed down the street,
And somewhere far away a lonely bell was ringing,
And it echoed through the canyon
Like the disappearing dreams of yesterday.

This was after DJing at what turned out to be a surprise Babyshambles gig. Oh the shame. Pete Doherty falling over onstage for half an hour was one of the worst things I've ever seen. Still, I made 600 indie kids dance to East 17, that was quite amusing.

OK BUT LOG IN FIRST FFS

i almost got hit by a car three times walking back home drunk, twice i think they sped up on purpose. then i went to a 7-11 where i saw some this dude get in an argument with the lady behind the counter (she's huge, in a manly way). not sure what it was about but dude pulls a knife out! she doesn't back down though, and some guy was holding him back from advancing on her. he was waiting by the door as i left, him and his friend just staring at her, so either a brawl/stabbing happened shortly after i left or the cops showed up.

TS: the total emptiness that follows a rubbish Saturday night, or the total emptiness you get on a summer Sunday evening when you realise that there is nothing going on in your life and nothing you buy - especially the £55 of CDs you bought yesterday - can bring you happiness.

I'm "working." I really should do a couple more ads before I call it a night, but so sleepy... Monolake putting me into trance... flannel sheets and the new issue of Gourmet are calling me...

i am in fact one of those people with a large social network and few (no?) real friends. it sucks, actually. as soon as the sun sets, i start trying to think of things i could do other than going to a bar. all my close friends live between 30 and 1,080 minutes away. i can't seem to have a good time without drinking anymore, not because i'm an alcoholic (no, seriously, i'm not... really, i swear), but because i don't know these people well enough to be sober around them. i wind up talking to other dj's about records, other girls about my girlfriend, other dudes about how drunk/horny/sad they are, and generally having a really great time until i wake up. then wednesday comes and i'm so excited about the weekend coming and then i remember how it's not really that fun apart from not being at work anyway.

or something that makes sense.

i'm not going out tonight because i have to work for my job so i don't get fired since i've only been here a week. and neither of the girls i'm interested in seeing if i go out is going to be out anyway (one has gone home for the weekend and the other is writing a paper). and if i go out in lieu of doing the work tonight, then i will have to do the work tomorrow, which will be difficult with a hangover. so... ilx will have to keep me company

Err, I can't, Greg -- my Saturday is pretty okay!

― Laurel (Laurel), Sunday, 19 February 2006 03:17 (nineteen years ago)

Mine wasn't that bad, really! I'm just whinging. Tell me about your okay Saturday, L!

― Gravel Puzzleworth (Gregory Henry), Sunday, 19 February 2006 03:33 (nineteen years ago)

It started as a sewing party, then graduated into mimosas, then haircuts (one of the attendees does hair for a living), then a dance party, and it's headed towards tequila shots and girl pile. Excellent!

― Laurel (Laurel), Sunday, 19 February 2006 03:35 (nineteen years ago)

Also, I'm getting tipsier.

― Laurel (Laurel), Sunday, 19 February 2006 03:36 (nineteen years ago)

I am at my mom's on her superfast webernet connection and it's awesome. This is the first time I've been able to check out all those youtube and YSI threads and now I'm almost glad I haven't had internet in a while because I probably would have melted into my desk chair. The internet is... big

― Aaron A, Sunday, 19 February 2006 03:37 (nineteen years ago)

Aaron watch Max and Dustin on the google video thread! They are so so funny.

L what is NEW HAIR like?

― Gravel Puzzleworth (Gregory Henry), Sunday, 19 February 2006 03:41 (nineteen years ago)

I haven't got mine cut. I will soon, though! She works for a redonkulously chi-chi Upper East Side salon, but apparently she CAN'T. STOP. CUTTING. HAIR. Even in her free time.

― Laurel (Laurel), Sunday, 19 February 2006 03:43 (nineteen years ago)

I'm happy that you said "girl pile", Laurel! THE CUTENESS!

― rrrobyn (rrrobyn), Sunday, 19 February 2006 03:48 (nineteen years ago)

Rrob, you'd love it! Hope a flight, doll.

― Laurel (Laurel), Sunday, 19 February 2006 03:49 (nineteen years ago)

Hope? Hop!

― Laurel (Laurel), Sunday, 19 February 2006 03:49 (nineteen years ago)

Laurel I have spent the last ten minutes insisting to R that she come and meet you! HOUSE ON FIRE

― Gravel Puzzleworth (Gregory Henry), Sunday, 19 February 2006 03:57 (nineteen years ago)

Of course! But the universe might disappear into a swirling time/space vortex of awesomeness.

― Laurel (Laurel), Sunday, 19 February 2006 03:59 (nineteen years ago)

haha, i could hope and hop all at the same time! and, omg, i was just chatting with G about how I need to visit NYC and the fabulous Laurel - and how I have to add it to my Near-Future Goals List! (haha, omg, i have a goals list.) ACTUALIZE the hope and hop.

(ooh, hey, i got my hair cut yesterday at someone's house too - greatest haircut ever! (she's a pro too, has it all set up.) plus, earl grey tea and cute cat and record-listening! No girl pile though, which is understandable - that's a special girl-night+crafts&random-haircuts event.)

xpost!!

― rrrobyn (rrrobyn), Sunday, 19 February 2006 04:03 (nineteen years ago)

Oh Robyn, I wish you would. It would be perfectly grand, and I have trrific girl friends, I've already gotten Laura H sucked into the fold!

― Laurel (Laurel), Sunday, 19 February 2006 04:08 (nineteen years ago)

oh, i'm totally serious about making it a Goal! It might not happen until the late fall but it will happen! hurrah!

― rrrobyn (rrrobyn), Sunday, 19 February 2006 04:18 (nineteen years ago)

that sounds fun!

but my saturday night is rotten because i'm at home for a week when all my friends are at school. i wanted to watch tv and knit but ended up fighting with my brother about it instead because he's playing videogames, and he keeps saying he'll get off in 5 or 15 or however many minutes and then when that time comes he says "almost done!" and doesn't get off. so then i went up to my room instead, but i cannot knit because knitting without having other distractions is really boring. ARRRRRGH.

Cheer up, you'll all be middle aged before you know it and then you won't give a fuck about Saturday night. Brilliant!

I HAD AN INCREDIBLE WEEKEND and now I feel like a seagull done crapped on the inside of my brain. MaDMAn, funny powder we found on the floor. Ended up gatecrashing a private party in a pub in Brighton and MC-ing over drum'n'bass. Got a clap from some young ladies. Never ever ever MC'd before may I hasten to add. Ended up sharing a bed with my friend's INCREDIBLEH CUET flatmate, but sadly no monkey business was had.

FUCK I FEEL FUCKED!!

Not the clap?

Me and my two mates got set upon by some bored angry teenagers near Old Street. Got away fairly lightly; only a few punches to the head. And luckily I'd taken a wee bit of cocaine, so it wasn't as scary as it should have been. Just humilating.

I listened to the George Steiner of pop. He played Sparks and their cognates, spin-offs, et al. 'Used To Be A Sweet Boy' sounded like some shoegazing classic till Morrissey started singing.

Before that, I was annoyed that Newcastle United couldn't hit a barn door, AKA a striker in an outsized goalkeeper's 'jersey'.

― the bellefox, Sunday, 19 February 2006 19:10 (nineteen years ago)

Last night I got a large collection of some of my closest friends together in the pub, we danced to fantastic music and I think I blagged a DJ set. It was awesome - the beginning of this thread is like a different world.
