Also, in relation to my post from last night about annoying concert singers, THAT IS NOTHING compared to the other thing I had to suffer through last night: tweens with their phones out, held over their heads, for the entire goddamn set. I'm not talking "oh, let me take out my phone and snap a few good pics, or even do a video recording of ONE song I really like." No, it was incessant - these kids did NOT put their phones down at any point that Halsey was singing, and I could hardly see her face for the majority of the show, despite being only 20ish feet away from the stage.
On one song, she actually asked people to put their phones away, thank god. But then tons of people still didn't!!! Are you kidding me?
Oooooo. You saw Halsey?! How was it? This is the wrong thread for that, but I don't feel like searching and tagging you in the right one. I am really excited to hopefully see her at Shaky Knees.
And how long was her set? She only has like 5 songs that I can find.
Hahahah well it started as a grrr, so we are still kinda maybe on topic?
SHE sounded fantastic. God and she's fucking hotttttt. Really captivating stage presence. But these tween boppers really killed the vibe for me. :\ I am gonna catch her set at Firefly for sure and hope it isn't filled with phone screens blocking my view of her gorgeous face.
Considering you've found the need to respond to my threads as if you are threatened by me I offer you some peace my confused counterpart. May you find peace in your restless soul.
My sleeping schedule is so fucked. At least I literally have nothing to do, but still. I don't like not having some sort of schedule. Right now I just kinda awake when I want and sleep when I want, with naps thrown in for good measure. Why the fuck am I up at 8am?! Ugh
Because 8:00 AM is the correct time to wake up I wake up at 8:00-8:30 on weekends.
For whom?! Breakfast chefs? Morning talk show hosts?
My sleeping schedule can get all over the place. I inevitably spend about one month a year in biphasic sleep, usually snoozing from about 3-7pm, then again from maybe 5-8am. It's not intentional, it just happens that way. I don't think my internal clock is the most reliable.
My biological father would naturally sleep from 11:30-12:00 until around 5:00-5:30 every day. Whereas I definitely need more sleep than that, I think that I definitely got his sleep genes. No matter what time I go to bed, I always wake up earlyish. It's why I generally keep a midnight bedtime for myself- even on weekends.
Welcome back Bonz, but I do not find it strange that your presence being requested in the Orgy thread and then you showing up, like it was the quacking Bonzai Bat Signal.
I started a new serving job and have my last training shift tomorrow.... this restaurant is unique in that it has a ferris wheel and mini golf course on its patio. and you can eat/drink on the ferris wheel.
well, I was hired as a server and have been told that there's an entirely separate staff for the ferris wheel/mini golf area.... low and behold I get my schedule this week and not only am I scheduled on a day I'm not available, but I'm not even scheduled as a server - but working in the "caddy shack" AKA directing people for the wheel & golf areas. what the actual fuck. I'm totally cool with helping out in another area when it is absolutely needed (this place just opened in december, there's a big reputation behind the owner and the other restaurants/bars she owns and it's gonna be wildly busy, and the wheel/mini golf have their first official day open on the 1st - wednesday... so I can understand that there is some transition time) but either some notice or discussion about it would be nice. oh, and having some actual fucking serving shifts would be nice, too.
sorry, but if I'm regularly going to have 3-5 shifts a week here and 2-3 of them are not as a server, I'm fucking out. I hope this is very temporary, but I kind of have a bad feeling...
I'm guessing you don't get any tips for that?
we are all assuming no (at least from what I can gather in the facebook group the servers have) - granted, no one actually knows for sure since everything is new.... but either way - it is not what I applied for & was hired to do. if I make any sort of tips, they're not going to be comparable to what I would make serving.
and these shifts are 8 hours long. as a server, that's fine being on my feet that long because I'm moving around. but I'm certain I'll be standing in one spot the entire time. I'm getting really pissed again just thinking about this... I don't have 10 years of industry experience to do some bullshit roll.
Not for me. I am a night person. The sun scares me.

That is pretty bad. I had this dude at Sylvan Esso hit my friend in the head and me several times in the arm, because apparently a sold out venue is still a dance floor and it is ok for him to swing his arms all around in a packed sardine bowl venue. His friend separated him from us and stood between us, because I was about to go postal on him. I'm all about dancing and having a good time, but be respectful of the people around you. Don't flail around like an asshole, hold your hand over your head the whole show or generally be rude. ESPECIALLY in a sold out show at a venue that is not large to begin with. /rant

Hehe luckily I get to see Sylvan Esso this Friday in a cute outdoor grassy venueeeee where I can shake it out all I want and not disturb the peace (hopefully).

I told the boy, I can't wait to see them at Bonnaroo where we will hopefully have room to watch, dance and not get elbowed over and over again.
The nice thing about it raining so damn much is that the holes in the bucket fleetingly seem to be of less concern.
Either water is more plentiful, and less concerning to waste...or you are so wet you laugh at the incongruity of the deluge after a drought - the impossibility becomes a challenge.
Pour that troublesome sh!t over the gunwhale after drinking deep, and grin at adversity.

I sleep from 11:30-12 until 5:15... but that's because of the alarm clock and having to drag my ass to work.
I have no idea how I function on constant five hours sleep. Also, I should of went to bed at like 10:30 tonight... oops.

You must rage 'til sunrise at least one night at Roo this year. Not up for debate. That way you'll fall asleep after 5am, and your sleeping schedule will naturally rewire itself, waking you by the ass crack of noon to do it all over again.

I am a night owl. I usually go to bed around 10:30-11pm just because I have to go to work in the morning and I am NOT a morning person. My son on the other hand, when he was a toddler, would get up whenever the sun came up and would try to wake me up, saying it was time to get up bc the sun is up. I was a bartender at the time and would have gotten like 2 hrs sleep. Being a teenager now, he isn't as bad but will still get up super early some morning. I don't like mornings.

I do rage 'til dawn at Bonnaroo (thank you, party favors, for making that possible).

I've always had the same problem: difficulty getting more than 6-ish hours of sleep and having an (early) internal alarm clock. It's gotten (and has stayed) really bad since my daughter was born.

Same problem here. The only time I can really sleep in is when I'm sick.
I forget so often that I'm mentally and physically imbalanced and think of death all the time.
I love you Deto. I am sorry you are having a rough time. Please feel free to contact me, I feel we have a lot in common (other than our fandom of your shirtless self)

Since it's near impossible to try and find someone to eat with when I am out in the field because my schedule is so fluid, I end up eating lunch alone pretty much all the time. I either take advantage of free wi-fi or eavesdrop on conversations of the people around me. At lunch the other day, there was a woman sitting at a table with what I figured out were her son and two granddaughters. She had an open Bible next to her at the table (which isn't a rare sight here). I proceeded to listen to her badmouth basically everyone in their family over the next 10-15 minutes and explain how they were all fucking up in life. She then launched into a tirade about how there were going to be a bunch of people at church on Sunday that just showed for Easter and Christmas. Apparently, those people don't understand what God really wants from them and were all falling short in their duty as Christians. I was amazed at her ability to make all those statements seemingly without an appreciation for how messed it they sounded coming out of the same person. Her son readily agreed at which point they moved the conversation to a homosexual member of their family. Apparently, he thinks that God approves of him, but he is in for a rude surprise when Judgement comes. The son replied, "The good Lord above made Adam and Eve not Adam and Steve." Seriously, somebody actually used that phrase in conversation to prove a point. It was mindblowing in the saddest way possible.

I absolutely HATE people like that. Ugh. Thou art holier or some shit. WHATEVER. Side note, you should totally watch the HBO documentary on Scientology (Getting Clear or some bullshit). It will make those people seem almost sane.

It's sad to me because spirituality of whatever stripe can bring a ton of joy and happiness into people's lives, and she just seemed to be using it to legitimize being bitter and angry about everyone.

That is insane. The "adam and steve" thing is like a joke made about the type of people who oppose homosexuality. Seeing someone use it earnestly is just sad. Also, badmouthing everyone while having a bible open is just silly. Either you're accepting and loving of others or your not. Doesn't matter the religion.

Yeah, the good Lord also tells you to not eat shellfish and kill the shit out of someone if they aren't Christian but I don't see many people following those rules.

But God made everyone... He made Sarah and Robert and June and Sally and Horatio and everyone else in existence.
So yea, God made Adam and Steve. They just happened to fuck each other after that.

Scientologist do. They have that Fair Game bullshit where they come after anyone that disagrees/leaves/threatens 'The Church.' Fucking weirdos. I just watched that doc last night, hence the sudden insight into that crazy "religion." I really need to stop watching crazy ass shit on TV.
