OMFG, MY INTERNET SUCKS. >_>

It hasn't worked since Thursday/Friday (can't remember exactly) now and it's annoying the hell out of me. My brother and I are on wireless, my laptop gets absolutely no connection 90% of the time and the 10% of the time it does work, it goes incredibly slow before just cutting out again. Yet, his connection works perfectly. In fact, I've never seen it work as fast. That bastard stole my internet. >:

And, yes, I'm on his computer right now. But now I have to leave because he wants to sleep. And he's watching me as I type this out. Yes, Paul, I can see your reflection in the screen. Go away before I give you a double dead leg. >:

Another entry about drinking/clubbing. But I want to rant and get it all off my chest.

So, went out last night with my two elder brothers and James, a family friend. We went to the same place we usually go to and had a pretty good time. My cousin came in at one point with his friend and they were hanging out with us. And I met a friend from high school who I hadn't seen in about three years, which was cool. So I was chatting to him a lot. The rest of the night in the club was pretty much normal, what you expect to happen in a club.

However, when we left, we went to a takeaway shop because my brother was hungry and wanted some food. And there were a couple of girls inside and a couple of girls outside. So I got talking to the girls outside, we flirted a little (hey, it's what I do) and were just having a bit of fun. Then all of a sudden, the two girls from inside the place come out, screaming and shouting, and start fighting them. So, my brothers, James and I play good samaritans and break up the fight, which we manage to do quite well. I actually got the girls I was joking with to walk away, I even walked with them about a mile up the road, away from my house so I had an even longer walk back.

Anyway, they're far enough away from the other girls for it to be safe. So I say goodbye to them and start walking away, just wanting to go home. Then, all of a sudden, a taxi pulls up by us and those other girls climbed out, continuing the fight. My brothers and James were with them too. So, I'd had enough by that point and had given up on them, they could've choked each other to death for all I cared. Then, a couple of police cars pull up into the road. And, not wanting to be arrested, I make my exit. I crossed to the other side of the road and started walking home. I turn around and shout for my brothers and James to come with me, then turn and carry on walking. I must've been about two hundred yards away from the trouble before I turned around again, only to see that everyone was still there.

Since they had the keys to the house, I had to go back. So I ran up to them trying to drag them away from everything so they don't get into trouble. Then, out of nowhere, I have my brother and James pinning me against a wall, telling me that -I- needed to calm down because -I'm- going to get arrested. Despite me being the only calm person AND the only one to actually walk away, I was going to get arrested. So, I tell them to go fuck themselves, push them off me and start walking home again. THEN, my brother pushes me up the wall again, saying the same thing. Must've done that five or six times whilst yelling at me to calm down. And all I was doing was walking home, pushing him off me and telling him to stay away from me. If anyone was gonna get arrested that night, it was gonna be him. Even James was trying to stop him by now, because he knew that I hadn't done anything wrong.

Then I started to speed up my walking, I got quite a distance away from them before my brother started shouting at me to "fuck off", "calm the fuck down" and stuff like that. Then he shouted something to the extent of "You aren't my brother anymore." to which I turned and shouted "Thank fucking God for that." or something along those lines. And, yeah, I have absolutely no intention of speaking to him again right now. And, consequently, consider myself to only have two brothers instead of three. Not too sure if this will ever blow over. And not too sure if I care, either.

Finally, I'll do this on MSN anyway but, I wanna apologise to Abby for having the misfortune of speaking with a pissed up, pissed off and incomprehensive Dawson last night. Nobody should have to deal with that, I'm sorry.

So, I get a text message from my friend at about 8.30pm asking me if I want to go to a club with him as he's just got there and my two older brothers were there as well. I grudgingly declined at first, I didn't have any money. Well, I had about £2.50 in loose change, but there's a £4 entrance fee so that was useless. But, an hour later, my dad offers to lend me some money providing I pay him back "with interest." Interest to my dad is about 75% of the original sum so, yeah. My dad's a bit of a rip off merchant, even with his own son.

So I get ready to go and arrive at the club at just passed 10pm. Track down my friend, said hello and chatted to him for a little while and then went to find my brothers, who were standing by the dance floor. And we pretty much just chilled out there for a while just chatting and joking and generally just having a good time. Then my second oldest brother decides to get up on the dance floor and dance...by himself. And Oh My God, that guy can not dance at all. Next time I go out with him I'm taking my camera and I'm recording it. Honestly, I haven't laughed so much in ages. He reminds me of that guy from the British McDonalds commercial. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=__tZFztWcCM - This guy. And I'm not even slightly exaggerating.

Anyway, it gets to about midnight and my friend and I get dragged onto the dance floor by a couple of girls. So, we're dancing away, having fun and just keeping to ourselves. Then my brother comes over to us and starts dancing too, again, just having fun. A minute later, some fat guy walks up to my brother, pushes him in the shoulder saying "Oi, you just knocked my entire drink out of my hand. What are you gonna do about it?". In all honestly, my brother was quite wasted so it was possible that he did. But he apologised, and friend and I apologised for him as well, each of us also offering to buy him a drink. He replied "I don't want a new drink, I just want an apology." So my brother apologised two more times and offered to shake his hand. The guy pushes his hand out of the way and just walks off. Not wanting to start anymore trouble (my friend and I have already been kicked out of that place for fights) we just walk away to the other side of the club to cool down.

A few minutes later, one of our family friends comes storming down to us, totally fuming. He told us how that exact same guy had just tried to steal his drink, despite him having his hand around it. He offered to buy the guy a drink as well, which he just refused, wanting the one that belonged to our friend. And our friend was ready to beat the crap out of him. Luckily, one of the idiot's friends managed to convince him to walk away, which is when he came down to us. This guy then comes down talking to us, telling us the other guy was hammered from drink and drugs and didn't have a clue what he was talking about. And he'd started in two more people by the time we'd left.

There is always at least one person in clubs that just want to cause trouble, and it just pisses me off.

Just got back from my interview at a recruitment agency. All in all, the outcome is positive. They looked like they always had a lot of business, with 5 people constantly on the phone to clients while I was there, and the woman interviewing me seemed pretty impressed with my past work experience, references and GCSE results Still, I had to complete a series of tests, including physical tests, which I found quite while. I had to quickly double check that I was actually joining a recruitment agency and not the army. The tests were all fairly easy, there was a reading test and typing test, I'm guessing for office type roles, and the physical test was even easier. It just involved lifting a box of weights from the floor and carrying them across the room, then placing them on the floor. The weights started at 10kg and rose by 10kg up until the last one, which was 40kg. That test was mainly to test my technique at picking up/putting down heavy objects, which is done a lot in physically demanding jobs, and not having the right technique can cause damage to your back.

So now I just have to keep my cell phone with me during the week and wait for them to give me a call about a job. I know it'll be a temp job though, but hopefully it'll be for a decent period, eg. at least two weeks. I think I'll just rely on these guys for a couple of works, so I can give myself a break from going out in the freezing cold every day to look for work. And I can stop stressing for a little while too. Of course, if they give me nothing in that time, I'm gonna have to go back to normal again.

As I was walking home I had to walk down on a moderately steep slope. Little did I realise it was completely covered in "invisible" ice. The ice you only seem to see if you look at a certain angle. Took two steps on it, slipped backwards and slid halfway down on my ass before I managed to stop. Would've been kinda cool if I weren't dressed up and I didn't pass two women taking their kids to afternoon school on the way down. Meh.

On a sad note, my second cousin (I didn't even know she was pregnant, tbh) gave birth this morning but the baby died three hours later from heart failure. The baby's father now has to plan the funeral..I just couldn't imagine having to do that whilst going through the pain he must be going through at the moment.

Dating, kinda.

4. Name an obvious quality you have.
I have no obvious qualities, or at least I can't name any. I suck like that. XD

David is the most useless and coldest upper staff member ever.

So, I may have Meningitis. I've been ill for the past week or two, I've had bad headaches, really sore throat, aches and pains all over my body, shivering badly despite being really hot. Basically, most symptons of the flu, so I wasn't really worried. And the symptons have been fading for a few days and then getting worse, so I figured it could've just been some bug I've picked up. Only, this morning, after a really bad night, I woke up and had red spots all over my arms, legs and body. My mom took a glass tumbler and pressed it against the spots and they didn't fade at all. So my mom called the Emergency Doctor, he came out and did some tests, blood tests, water tests etc. He said it looked like Meningitis. He then said I'd get the results on Monday and I just have to wait until then. So, I could have a really serious illness but I still have to wait at home for two days instead of going to hospital. The NHS sucks.

Okay, since nobody is online for me to tell this stuff to, I'm gonna actually update my livejournal.

Okay, I woke up at 4.30am to get ready for work. That's right people, 4.30AM. That gives me just enough time to get up, get dressed, have breakfast, get washed up and then begin the 45 minute walk to work. It was raining very bad today, someone told me the rain was coming because of the weather changes. I thank that man for keeping me informed of the intricacies of the planet. We also had thunderstorms every now and then, which is really fun when you're putting up steel poles around buildings.

Thankfully, I'm leaving this job next Friday to work in Amazon's wholesale plant,or whatever you'd call it. So, I had to tell them I was leaving. The boss wasn't too pleased, mainly because I was the hardest worker and he'd have trouble replacing me. But, hey, I was technically only a temp worker for them, I was under no obligation to stay. Dennis, my closest friend there, a 58 year old, fat, bald, Popeye look-a-like, was a bit upset with me because that meant he'd have to work with Andy who, as well as being one of the most work shy fuckers ever, is also the most irritating person I've ever met. Seriously, I've never met a person who annoyed me no matter what they did. Every thing about him pisses me off. From his weedy little body to his freaky looking rat face. The worst thing though, the VERY worst thing is his voice and his laugh. Honestly, whenever he speaks I just wanna..just wanna stab myself in the scrotum just so that my screams will drown out the sound of his voice.

Onto this evening, I planned to go out with some people from work. However, after work I got into a little problem. Basically,I got jumped by THE stupidest mugger ever. See, I went to the ATM machine to withdraw £500 from my Halifax account so I could put it into my NatWest account. This black dude was behind me in the queue, I didn't think nothing of it at the time so I set off on the half mile walk to the NatWest bank machine..And the dude followed me the whole way. Again, wasn't too worried because it was through the town center and a lot of people walk through there, so it was hardly suspicious. I got to the the Deposit Machine at the side of the bank and could see that the guy had stopped walking through the reflection of the shop window. It was then that I started getting a bit nervous. So, I hastily got my card out and pushed the buttons of how much money was going to be deposited. And then put the money in, to my great relief. I took my card out of the machine and then POW! My head gets rammed into the machine. I was like "WTF?" And this guy had me in a headlock saying "Give me the money, give me the fucking money!" To which I elbowed him the balls (that's right, I went there) and pulled his wrist back, giving me space to wriggle free. I was like "What money?", he said "The money you took out 5 minutes ago." It was at this moment I noticed how scrawny this guy was and, if I'm totally honest, was quite embarassed for letting him get me in a headlock. So I said "I don't have the money." He replied with "You're fucking lying! I watched you take it out and I watched you put it in your wallet." And I said "And you just watched me put it into that machine there, remember dumbass? Oh, and the police also have your face on the CCTV camera up there." He looks up, DIRECTLY into the camera, giving a perfect view of his face. I looked him dead in the eyes and said "Honestly, how many dumb motherfuckers commit crimes in areas with security cameras? It makes it very easy for me to get you prosecuted." To which he put his hood on and ran away.

I was quite pleased with myself overall. Though, I do have a bruise on my forehead to show for my troubles. I look a bit like Mikhail Gorbachev at the moment.
