Man, if you're a bass player you're screwed. Nobody likes bass players :p Seriously, I am a bass player myself and I understand what you mean. The truth is that girls don't just dig the fact that you play an instrument- you have to have the attitude to go with it. A friend of mine, who has...

I do a little bit of singing, and have sung live, but my voice really doesn't have enough character to go solo. Practice does definitely help, while there is a limit to what your voice can do most of us rarely reach that limit without training our voices. Another thing to remember is breathing-...

That was obvious the moment I wandered in here :p This is a time of big changes for me anyway: my university course is finishing, I'm going to have to start looking for work (not to mention abandoning the band I've spent the best part of my musical career trying to put together...) and move...

Well, I'm the oldest of six kids (my youngest sis being seven) so I like to think I know a bit about talking to them. Just remember that just because they aren't that mature doesn't mean they don't have their own personality- not all kids react the same ;) For kids about 3-10, the key is not...

Harsh guys, but fair. Tough love, right? :) I started going to the gym a few weeks ago (all these pics are at least two months old btw) but it's early days yet. You're right, I do have next to no muscle- right now I'm 5 foot 7 and 58kg- which is why I started it up in the first place. The...

I'm pretty much set on getting my hair cut soon, and as the family hairdresser is popping round tomorrow, I think it would be a good time to discuss what style I'm going for. I've had long hair (shoulder length and longer- see pics) for about five years now and while it meant a lot to me in my...

Yeah, I've pretty much sucked at getting hi's but I've practiced EC. However, tonight I'm going out with some friends so not only is it a great oppurtunity for some hi's (and that socializin thang) but the drink should cool off my inhibitions a bit. Once I get the first 'hi' I should have the...

I don't mean to get whiny here, but it is difficult for some of us. I have been incredibly shy and introverted most of my life- I can't even talk to some of my closest friends without panicking. I don't want to make excuses, but saying 'look how much better I did then you' doesn't really help...

...And four months later, he picks up the pieces. Yeah, I screwed up. So here I go again, and this time I will achieve something. These next six weeks are my last at Uni, so I am losing very little if I make a complete fool out of myself. Next week's plan: I've started going to the gymn on...

I've not been online over the weekend (no access to pc) but I believe we have five peeps on board, and I'm ready to get started. I'm going to update my old diary thread while I'm at it. Hopefully, I will learn from my mistakes :) Check here Jago. The Don Juan bible should explain all.

I started a boot camp last year but droped out in the first week when a) my work hit overload, b) I went through the winter blues, c) I chickened out (pick an excuse, they all suck). But I've been meaning to start it again, so I'm going to take the plunge again. No excuses this time, this is...

I guess I'll come out of hiding now... I'm currently living in Leicester, in my final year of Uni.

Thanks dude, it's good to know I'm not alone. I've been busy for a while, but I'm not going to make any excuses. I ****ed up and I'm going to do this until I get it right. Tomorrow, I'm starting week 1 again. My aim is ten 'hi's' a day. I have no problem wandering around town in a cardboard...

Week 1 Days 4-5 The past two days have been crap and crap. All the enthusiasm I had at the begining of the week has just drained away, I seriosuly don't know what's go into me! I got two hi's over the two days, and I am seriously disappointed in that. I'm aware that there are people reading...

Week 1 Days 2-3 Today has been seriously crap. Nothing to do with the BC, I had problems with the band which put me in no mood to be nice to people. Consequently, I only 'hi'd a couple of people today, mostly this morning. Yesterday I about five people, maybe more but a few I wasn't happy with...
