Stupid Windows 8

Let's get into the blog straight away, shall we?

So, my dad decided to download Windows 8 operating system on the laptop, to test out how good it was... and I absolutely hate it.

OKAY, it looks good on my Windows 8 phone (obviously), but on my laptop I hate it. Plus, since my laptop is only a small Packard Bell netbook, it does not have the proper resolution to run half the apps on the starting screen.

 

And the worst thing about it too, is that it automatically came with Internet Explorer (which I hate even more), and I couldn't stand to use it, so I downloaded Google Chrome.

Onto something a little bit different now

The other day (I do recall it was Sunday) I had band practice, which was the funniest practice i've ever been to in my life.

Let me elaborate.

When we first started, we had a lot of trouble with amps in the room, and tried about 3 different guitars which one of the staff brought in for us. It took us ages to try and get anything working, and it was about an hour and a half into practice, and our guitarist (who is very particular about which guitars he likes to play) went off looking for the staff to ask for another guitar (for about the 3rd time haha). 

After 5 minutes of looking for him, he decided to let himself into the guitar cupboard, and heard a practice room door open and thought it was the guy. So, our guitarist popped his head around the corner, and it turns out it wasn't the staff, it was these 2 weird kids, that looked about 14/15 dressed in a gothic/emo fashion and they decided to follow him. So he panicked (he's very socially awkward, you see)... and attempted to lock himself into the guitar cupboard.

Yes, he tried to lock himself into the guitar cupboard, and obviously these 2 weird kids, both tried to open the door, and eventually succeeded. So, in a blind panic, our guitarist tried to find his way back into the practice room, but ended up going to the wrong end of the corridor, and these people kept on following him, so he panicked even more, and ended up sprinting back down the hallway, and found his way into our practice room again.

When he told us, me and our drummer laughed absolutely hysterically, and not long after, our guitarist said he was going back out to look for guitars. Anyways, the next thing we know he opens the door and here's these 2 emo/goth kids standing there STARING at us.

Just standing there, staring at us with a blank expression on their face gazing into our souls, they weren't even smiling or anything or looked the least bit amused by the whole thing. And what made it even more creepy was the fact we were in the first practice room, and to get into our practice room, you had to push open 2 heavy creaky doors. And we heard nothing, they just kinda appeared there.

The next thing we know, our guitarist jumps behind the stack of amps, and hides behind them, and fucking slams the door as hard as he possibly could, it was like a comedy scene from a movie, and we just all burst out laughing, it was the funniest thing ever. 

So literally 2 seconds later he says he's going back out to look for another guitar, we open the door, and they've just completely disappeared, we didn't even hear the doors open or anything, they had just magically gone. They must have been fucking vampires or something, because we weren't even aware anyone was there... but it was all too funny, and we're still freaked out by it.

...Then, we got the amps working and it was some sort of miracle.

I could have went into way more detail to make the story interesting, but i'm lazy you see.

My mate is Tarzan.

Sunday bloody Sunday.

Did I ever mention how much I hate Sundays? Seriously, to me, it's the most boring day of the week.

It absolutely drags when you're on school holidays, but when you've got school the next day, it seems to go as fast as Speedy Gonzales on Amphetamines.

Anyways, looks like the upcoming week isn't going to be as lazy as I expected.

Tomorrow, i'm going to Beamish for the day, Tuesday i'm going to Alnwick Gardens with my family, Wednesday i'm going out with my mate and helping her book a doctors appointment, Thursday I have to go into school and collect my GCSE test results (don't worry, i'm not shitting myself) and afterwards, going to my mates house to help each other with our artwork, Friday and Saturday i'm going to at least attempt to motivate myself to learn this music composition on bass and then perform it when I go back to school (or go out with mates which I haven't done in months), and Sunday, i'm going to book a band practice, my mates have written a shitload of songs, so i'm looking forward to playing them!

Then hopefully, the last week before we go back to school, I just plan on lazing around and doing nothing but eating, sleeping, complaining, being addicted to twitter, playing video games, watching YouTube videos and playing on my guitar (which is basically what I have done for 4 weeks straight almost).

Literally, I have done nothing for 4 weeks straight, and the only time i've stepped into the outside world was to look for school shoes to buy (which ended me not getting any at all) and going to a couple of band practices (wish I could practice more, but it's expensive!).

And speaking of doing nothing or going outside, i've barely talked to any of my mates either. We haven't fallen out or anything, we just haven't talked in ages.

In fact, the only friends I have talked to are Lor, Nikita, Sarah and my band mates.

Lor was telling me how she saw The Conjuring:

(she is the light blue text, i'm the dark blue)

And me and my guitarist were discussing about broken bones and such, and got onto how he almost broke his jaw... i'm now convinced he is Tarzan:

(Blurred for his anonymity) 

And that's about it for this week!

Not much to it.

This is probably going to be a short blog, but here we go anyway...

So, the other day mine and Lor's Beady Eye tickets came (which i'm absolutely BUZZING for), and my National Insurance Number came as well (which I still don't know what the fuck i'm supposed to do with) and apparently i'm supposed to keep it 'for life' and I only had it for about 2 minutes (literally) and I already spilled milk on it.

Got another practice to book for Tuesday again, it's going to be mint. Our new guitarist has eased up around us now and isn't so shy. I've talked to him on Xbox a couple of times and played a couple of games with him (in particular, Resident Evil) and he's hell of a good gamer... I thought I had a better gamerscore on Left 4 Dead out of all my friends, but he came along and I found out he was waaaaay ahead of me. So i've got that to look forward to!

Nothing interesting happened over the past couple of days except on Monday from my mate came over mine and we played Sims 3 for about 4 hours nonstop until she had to go home. Tuesday I done fuck all and lay around the house watching Criken videos on Youtube. Wednesday I had to go to the dentist (which I hate with a passion), and today the most productive thing i've done was taken the dog out on a long nice walk.

Not much to it really.
