Two down, one to go
Had Marketing this morning. It was a bit meh..... four questions, two of which I knew and answered well, one that I blagged and one that I think I got completely wrong. It must have been at least above a pass, and that's fine by me. Was surprised I would do that well at all with the minimal amount of revision I did..... I only really knew six topics out of twenty!
So if you're bored between 6pm and 7pm this evening, tune into 87.7 Bailrigg FM, as LULUMS are dominating the airwaves for the weekly societies hour. The music will be good, plus you can laugh at my embarrassingly camp (and cold-ridden) voice. And there's a webcam too, which you can use to laugh at my recently-crafted sideburns. Uh-huh!
And now I am going to do something stolen from Smorrish (mr_lavigne).....
Top 30 great things of this year in Lanky
30. Best ever quote from Stuart, after a drunken Laura comes into Gradbar, snogs me for five minutes and then pretty much leaves again: "Ok, so I'm guessing you know her....."
29. All of the Morrissey banter, because apparently I look like him. "Mmmmmoooorghannn!"
28. Discovering that there's a Fat-Pie toon (the masterminds behind Salad Fingers) with a character called Morgan in it.
27. A severly-hungover Laura trying to speak to Martin: "Hgmwnfsdvsnafmqawaws wefawa....."
26. Meeting Afro Mark, the wackiest man in town with the wackiest hair I have ever seen.
25. "I love Jesus, I love Jesus (and Mel Gibson.....)"
24. The Media lecture on music where the lecturer didn't say a single word for fifty minutes, instead playing various punk music and switching between slides on an OHP.
23. Anthony's drunken ramblings. Best quote: "Amicable..... in a French way."
22. Listening to my music backwards while bored and finding an unintentional satanic message in Dead Troubadour: "Aieee! Be a madman, for that's what he hears the most!"
21. My gig. May have been a bit shit in my opinion, but it was still fun, a great opportunity and made me realise a few things.
20. Organising the special busking thing with Tim and Martin, including being invited onto radio later that day.
19. Discovering that the last full song I wrote ASFACE could be abbreviated further.....
18. Catching Mat's band Anything But Esmeralda each time they covered Play That Funky Music White Boy. Abso-fucking-lutely mind-blowing.
17. Continuing my man-whore image in a different town. H'oh yes..... apparently Clare, Ann-Marie, Alex, Laura, Rhian, Helen and Liz are my bitches.
16. The TBC jam, where the whole LULUMS Exec played cover songs in honour of Mat. Pissing off the guitarist of shit-knitters A Foreign Town was an extra bonus.
15. Finding out about The Tramps, who may actually be 'born' later this year.....
14. Ditching my Psychology essay to go out on St Patrick's Day. Was a great night (with Kermits, 13 Ways and Scared Of Girls on top form) and in the end I was fine with Psychology. Everybody's a winner!
13. Every Kermits gig I witnessed (I think it was three in total). Funniest band ever. They truly are something special.
12. Taking the piss out of flatmate Helen's boyfriend, who is by all means a wanker. It's a flat thing.
11. Anthony's big secret. Cannot disclose due to privacy reasons, but the circumstance was just hilarious.
10. The Paddy Mulligans meeting the other day, confirming the place as the venue to hold our open mic sessions next year. Big lad Kenny challenged me to a 48-hour drinking contest, all of the regulars realised that Martin looks like Bob Geldof and of course, two classic chants: "Ginger hair and stinks of piss, doo-dah, doo-dah!" "Oh yeah, well strawberry blone and stinks of urine, doo-dah, doo-dah!" Genius.
9. The recent LULUMS elections, where an empty can of Coke obtained more votes than Stuart, until it was brutally 'murdered', making Stuart next year's Chief Technician by default. We scared and confused the hell outta the n00bs!
8. Realising I can refer to my twelve-string guitar as 'my twelvey', with often-amusing results.
7. Exchanging emails with Micky Kemp, who has been coming out with some classic lines, including "be careful at uni, don't get your dick too wet" and "your willy will never be safe again after we play your uni". Noice!
6. Obtaining my beautiful MP3 player.
5. Discovering and getting into 3 Colours Red. What a band!
4. Booking all of Gradbar's bands for this term. They have all been excellent so far.
3. All of the James Deeks banter. Can't believe I have not mentioned him once on my LJ. He's a creepy fucker who tries to help out with LULUMS. Has no friends. I would sympathise, but apart from stalking Siobhan, he has weird pictures of himself (let's just use the term 'male nudity' to clarify) on a photo website that can be publicly accessed. Tool. So yeah, all of that banter was great, especially coining the phrase "DEEKABOO!"
2. Becoming Vice President of LULUMS. Being special rules.
1. PJ's party in the upstairs of Yorkie House. Liz Wyatt, Kermits, The Ampersands and Jasper performed to a small audience, consisting almost entirely of people I know. Was one of the best nights out ever, plus it was the night I got asked out by Liz! Double-triple-millionle whammy!
