Speaking of loud people and this being a bitching thread... It really sucks when you gotta work at 7am and your obnoxious mother is blaring YouTube from a ****ty laptop and laughing uproariously until 4am. 20 feet away in a tiny condo with paper thin walls.

You would think after 8 years I'd be used to it. Nope. If I manage to fall asleep before she gets home I'm good, I can sleep through her ****, but if I'm still awake like tonight I'm ****ed.

I guess I shouldn't complain because she lets me live with her for free, but I really look forward to finally getting the **** out for good. Soon now.

I always thought you lived with your man. And I know that feeling when I'm trying to do my HW in the dining room and the tv is LOUD AS F*CK in the living room with no walls between. Why are old people so god damn def?

Wish I had a desk in my room.

I do on weekends, and we are getting a place soon. Still with her for now though.

Eh? Speak up there, young fella!

My band's headlining a variety/cabaret show at a whiskey bar tonight. Sound check was at 6, we take the stage at 10:30. My band mates are both only 20 and were told they're not allowed to be at the venue before or after our set. ****.

Wow that's pretty ****ed.

Drinking age laws are so weird. In A'murricuh yous can be shipped off overseas to fight a war that has nothin to do with ya but you can't have a drink. Or even play a show at a bar. Because that'd be immoral. Youngsters drinkin alcohol! Next thing you know they'll start taking DRUGS!

Yup. Drinking age was 18 when I was growing up. And most of the packies (Boston slang for alcohol stores) would sell to you if you were at least 16. Them was loose times.

Played a bar gig once at 16 where our pay was free booze.

only thing the drinking age did for me was make it way easier to do drugs than it was to drink for a few years.

I feel your pain. We've been denied shows with similar local bands (one case was free jazz the other noise punk) because of our age.
