Not just, but I have been presented with some opportunities I'd be remiss to let pass. Ironically, I do appear to have gotten some of the attention I'd hoped for back when I thought the performances were fake. So I plan to use that to my benefit.
Yeah? I'm glad to hear it. I haven't been so lucky. Two of my three jobs fired me. Said they couldn't keep the positions for me for an indefinite amount of time without knowing when I'd be back. And I get it, too.
My band also moved on for the same reasons. It sucks, you know? Cuz I've been working my ass off for a long time.

So I need to figure some things out. Probably talk to Gray, though I'm kinda reluctant to. And I know if I finally sign up for a contract, I'm gonna be a bitch to work with. Cuz I'm not changing my style or image. I'm writing all my own music too.

How was your gramps doing? I bet he was happy to see you.

He makes more blind jokes than I do, for the record. You could say he has a dark sense of humor.
Re: Night 253
Unlike you? Stop clowning me.

Re: Night 253
[Pfft.]

Re: Night 253
[holds out his hand]
Your first mistake was relying on other people. The trick is to make them rely on you.

It'll serve 'em right when I'm up in lights and they're still shitting in a dump.
Re: Night 253
Want to play at my circus show?
Re: Night 253
Re: Night 253
And I wouldn't say no to a dramatic soundtrack while I do my stunts.
Re: Night 253
Though unless I get a band in the interim, I'm gonna have to pre-record the soundtrack and sing and play the guitar portions live.
. . . Also I wanna look cool. I still want my bird of prey image.

Re: Night 253
I'll accept it, but you have to go all out.
Re: Night 253
[Practiced hands move quickly over each nail.]
That's half the fun.
Re: Night 253
We're of the same mind on that one. If something is worth doing, it's worth doing all the way.
Re: Night 253
[Putting on a show for it, then. Flamingo isn't gonna try and make him do anything clowny.]
Oughta use whatever tools I got. 'Least my online stuff has been doing good, too.
