I've had a crappy cough for ages. Fuck you, cough. Also I'm hungover. And exhausted. And I've been writing songs. And, um, eating. And breathing.
Anyway, those are the excuses; here's one of my world famous What I Have Been Mostly Doing™ lists:
- Playing with The Band (I think we're currently called Les Fantasticos but it's a constantly shifting target)
- Making my credit card company yet richer by buying loads of music gear
- Drinking 'special' rum with the alcohol percentage scratched off it (yes, I'm looking at you Mr and Mrs Earl)
- Completely erasing my memory of an entire night using said rum (along with Neo, who woke up the next day covered in bruises and hardly able to walk, and can't remember why)
- Having a lot of baths. In a bathroom which looks like it's been bombed, several times. With a special “make-bathroom-look-extra-shitty” bombs.
That's pretty much it. God, I'm fascinating.
I'll see you all at Nadine's party then!
As a footnote, here are some other people who have the same problem with excuses as me. And here are some more. Lucky I have you lot to keep this site interesting (or in Neo's case, 'interesting') when I can't be arsed

That sounds like a load of great reasons not to do anything!!! I can so simpaphise, symapasie, sympasies, you know what i mean with you! Hope all is going well in the house of man! If you need a bathroom cleaner I have some cillit bang, which I can lend you for a small price of two small children and a camel?!
I woke up in my friend's garden once, luckly it was summer!!
Oh yeah, I just wanna say, that I love the demo guys for the band with the not so sure of name!!! I have actually managed to trick some people into believing that its me singing!! But that was only the people who have never heard me sing before!!! Don't worry Kate, I told them the truth!!

Somehow I don't think Cillit Bang is going to cut it this time - unless it puts up tiles as you wipe...

I love the excuse “I've been busy shooting soccer teams”. Not a bad way to pass the time - I have considered doing this since I have seen how crap my Fantasy Football team has been doing!

Well, Obviously I have been very busy according to my mate Nick!! Take a look at this, http://www.dancesisterdance.com/myvid/index.php?v=f4d6bea24c377 apparantly this is what I have been doing! Learning to dance or something! Even though I swear that I dance better than that!! Just to add I had no imput on this at all!! I think you should all do one! I'd love to see Neo and Mark on there!!!!
PS Mark, Cillit bang is the best! and if you asked nicely I'm sure it would add the tiles!!!

I think you are right Carly - Neo would look very sexy in that slinky dress and I've always wanted to see Mark in some tight disco trousers!!! Pmsl!!

I am tempted just to do it for them!! So Rach are you saying that Neo would suit the dress better?

Well, Neo is the 'wife' in that relationship so it's only right he should wear the dress!

I'm feeling ticketty boo, but Sarah is a little worse for wear, bless her!
Despite all the drama we both had a great night, hope everyone else did too.

And Dan, Dee and everyone else who mentioned it - WHEN ARE WE GOING TO JFKs?!!

I feel really shit and I'm struggling to write this as my hands keep shakingggggg.
Alka-Seltzer anyone?

Yes. Please.
My pillowcase is covered in green dye.
Also the sofa is green, my hands are green, my shirt is green, and several towels are green.
My hair looks like I've just had a few hundred volts to the testicles.
And finally, some kind of demon is trying to chew it's way out of my brain (or at least that's what it feels like).
Do I win?

Rach - Party? Not just yet, I'm afraid. Our bathroom is in the process of being renovated; I quite like being able to see my bike (kept in the hallway) while sat on the throne, but I don't imagine everyone else will appreciate the view.
Mark - yes, you win. And today's special prize is... a massive headache, constant nausea, dizzy spells and being put on the list for a new liver. Congratulations.

Gosh, I don't know what to say. I'd like to thank Smirnoff, the Beck's brewery, and everyone else who contributed to Keely's punch (there are too many to list here).
Also, my mum and dad. And Jesus.
