Status Updates From Noise Damage: My Life as a ...

Scary Amy? How does she support herself, and if she doesn’t, who does? I can’t help wondering if she’s a bit possessed because it sounds like an EVIL mindfuck, and the fact that she felt she could casually, amicably contact him again after all that.

I think conversations with others OUTSIDE the band occurred.

Waiting for the breakdown.

No, say nav is not omniscient.

How come they got the van in okay, but couldn’t get it out? I guess they must have exited a different way.

The band was actually called Snot!

So it was just motion sickness!

So the bully married someone who could bully him!

He’s entirely right about changing habits & establishing new patterns of behaviour.

I’m so glad he didn’t get hypothermia or frostbite! I’m not surprised thr hostel got worse. Dirt attracts dirt & it hadn’t been cleaned up.

I’m impressed with Kennedy’s motivation to realize his goal in spite of the lack of financial reward. I recall he said that he gained & lost weight easily. Sounds like his metabolism is similar to mine, though his energy levels & resilience WAY exceed mine. Re. drinking under the influence: when you’re intoxicated, you’re judgement/inhibitions, so limit yourself or you’ll make the wrong call.

Oh. I’d thought this chapter was going to be about Kennedy’s insomnia. What revolting accommodation!

Getting to the night terrors! (I have never genuinely been affected by insomnia.)

I have my issues with the education system and society. We’re not all cut from the same cloth and being held accountable to one standard is reductive and destructive. I’m going to have to get back into meditation etc. seriously. The time is now. Always.

A successful therapy session!

He even makes sounding like the guy no one wants to be sound entertaining!

What is the deal with living with one’s family if it’s the most financially viable option for all concerned? Don’t monarchs and rich people live for GENERATIONS in the family home/estate/castle? They hold/occupy their space for as long as they can. If the home’s big enough, more than one family & several generations can live there comfortably.

Ain’t no shame in living with your family. It can make more sense & be more beneficial for the whole family, not least financially. I guess it’s a cultural thing. Ah, Kyshera was formed in 2005, the year I got married. No wonder I never heard of them until more than a decade later.

I think he’d be a good teacher, capable of inspiring.

Ah, the job centre. To people still go to one in person or is everything online now? I never heard of James Kennedy until 2017, and only because he followed me on Twitter. Back then, Twitter was awesome for networking & self-promotion. In 2002, it was my second year living in Manchester. Not sure how I never heard of Kennedy, but I didn’t.

He is a DRIVEN individual!
