I keep thinking to use OKC but when using the search the girls round here are....well weird going off the profile. Plus never really good at writing about myself so setting up the profile be a pain
 
I've really struggled to get anything going on OKC - sent out a bunch of messages and I've probably only got responses from 5 or 6 girls and none of those have really gone anywhere (other than Jess, but that fell flat later on anyway)

I guess it's just playing the numbers game.

Yeah, it sucks a bit especially when you're in a city that isn't too big. The difference between Sheffield and Manchester is huge, but I'm not looking to hit up snake pass to get there all the time. I've been kinda getting on a lucky streak lately with girls responding to messages I've sent ages ago and getting numbers soon after. This other girl I'm texting told me she lives about 2 miles away from where I am. Plus she asked me "do you even lift" so I'm somewhat in love. xD

My problem is that I'm so close to London that all I get are matches from London, as opposed to girls from around here.
 
Then it's a good thing you're deaf!

oh god I'm going to hell aren't I?

Haha, I'm not in the least offended.

Can you even listen to music?

(not a mean question...more curiosity...)

Yeah, I can listen to music.

I should try to elaborate, I wear a hearing aid in each ear and with them I can hear pretty much okay apart from in a really busy environment such as a pub or club, poor lighting doesn't help either.

Without the hearing aids I'm much worse hearing wise, I rely on lip reading much more. And as an example I wouldn't be able to make out what my girlfriend was saying if she was laying in bed next to me in the dark and not facing me.

Maturity, bitches.
Going to the Ideal Home Show tomorrow and then I don't know. Perhaps watching just the good bits of Comic Relief.

Phew!

How do hearing aids work anyway? Are they like microphones just amplifying what's around, or is it a little more sciency? And it's funny what you say about pubs and clubs, I can't ever hear shit in those places either. In that way you're aqctualyl (edit: how the fuck did I mangle that word so bad?? ACTUALLY) at an advantage in those situations since you can lipread (it's all about finding those silver linings lol)

Quite funny to see what each country demands for in porn....funny how popular lisa ann is over here aswell!

I'm still ill and feeling even worse today

What you guys doing for the weekend?

Not clicking that link at work, no sir. I might well use my phone to find out who Lisa Ann is though... hmmm...

I can't say I've really had an adult film star that I was into since Riley Mason quit, and that was years ago. Last I heard you could hire her services in Florida from about $300 an hour. That would be the best holiday EVER.

Weekend? Looking up Lisa Ann I guess! Plus the usual nerd shit on Saturday followed by band practice on Sunday. Last one before the gig in London next saturday - headlining at the Hope and Anchor in Islington if anyone is in the area.

EDIT: looked up Lisa Ann. Ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww. Need to find something else to do on Saturday now...

Am hoping to be there, buddy - living on about £60 for the rest of this month and I have a wedding to go to on Saturday, so we'll see how funds are, but I'm trying!
 
I wonder how many 19 year olds hang around on OKC.
A ton. >__>

Ouch and I thought I was skint! Well no worries if you can't make it man, I don't expect home counties folks to make it up to London anyway, it's a mega trek to see a band you've already seen and can see again. I have no idea if there will even be an audience, this will probably be our last London show for the forseeable future since it's just not worth the effort for the return. That last show was funny but also a total waste of everyone's time. The music scene is far too fragmented up there. Althought it does seem that we'll at least be getting a bit more promotion, apparently we're being played on Radio Shoreditch soon lol

My hearing aids are both digital and there's three modes:

T Switch (loop systems in cinemas etc).
Filter (absolutely shit, it tries to guess what you 'want' to hear and filter out excess background noise, trouble is the volume increase/decrease is really noticeable and off putting.
Amplify is where it's the same as filter but the volume is constant so I prefer that mode.

My hearing aids can be hooked up to a computer and 'programmed' but it's not something that the average user can do.

To be honest I am starting to consider going down the route of getting a chip implanted (I can't remember what it's called) but I've read that the sound the user hears is really different to conventional sounds so it might not be for me. Plus you have to be pretty near profound deaf levels to get it done.

Oh wow, the idea of a chip is really neat. I like that post-human idea. If the sounds are different, wouldn't it be cool if they were better?? Like if you could hear ultra and infrasound. and you could tell people you're a cyborg then too.

Seriously, I am going to be so augmented by the time I'm 60. I can't wait.

Yeah dude, I can't wait to go all Adam Jensen. What's the first implant you want?
I want one of those NFC style things that can unlock doors and shit implanted into my wrist

I want retinal implants. Google Glass is a good first step but I want 360 degree augmented reality all the time. It will be an absolute game changer. Some implant for regulating metabolism would be nice too, it would be cool to be able to eat as much as I want without getting fat(ter).

Imagine - subdermal implants for interactive, changeable tattoos. Eyes that can see radiowaves, or magnify to microscopic levels.

I think I need neon dreadlocks, I'm a closet transhuman.

edit: customisable facial hair! Like an iron filing beard!

Absolutely nothing, my first lazy weekend in a while. Have an eye test tomorrow but that's about it. I may spend a little time sulking about my local pub boycott as Lucky Chip have started selling their burgers there.

Went into tescos to get some gum, and something caught my eye. It was these sweets called Brain Blasterz which has stuff like "MEGA SOUR" and "NOT FOR WIMPS" on the box. Now I'm a massive fan of sour stuff, bonus points if it can make me cry, but all sour sweets are shit and barely sour at all so I'm all "challenge excepted Brain Blasterz".

oh shit they own so hard, they're like sour Nerdz, and they're actually pretty sour. The lemon flavour ones are like sucking a lemon.

I was going to ask about the chip. There are a few amazing videos of people that say they can hear so much better with the chip.

I recently found out that I need surgery on one of my eyes where they cut out the lens and replace it with a synthetic lens. It's a shame technology isn't advanced enough that I could get a heads up display. That would be pretty cool!

Google glass in your eye. Would be sick. And you couldn't be banned from bars because of it because they wouldn't know!

Morning Tash, well, afternoon, been in a training meeting all morning. :(

Hopefully this weekend, I should be walking around Ikea buying stuff for the house. It's a boring exercise, made more interesting when it's for your house. I might rope poppa bear in, see if he wants to "help" pay for some of it!

Hope you feel better mate, being ill sucks major balls.
