freaking hilarious sms conversation i had yesterday:
me on soft:
female bassist/vocalist looking for a side project thingy thing. looking for regular (read: weekly), committed and lets-gig-now-now-like-now! kind of bands to do covers and mainly covers. no 'we'll do covers for now but will move into originals' shit. or any of the hey-lets-just-sit-around-and-freestyle-yeah. need productive and bandies with a love of beer and good music. i'm looking to do regular pub stuff. not useless pay-money-to-play-everyone-else-sings-incomprehensible-unmarketable-black-metal-and-screamo gigs. (...)

Yo we are looking for a vocalist. A female more specfically. We are going into a very new genre. Our originals sound very symphonic/film score stuff. Are you interested?
------
me:

------
983976--:

-----
983946--:
It is your choice whether you want to join. No one will force you. (oh really? youre saying that after two messages?) But there are nicer way to phrase things.more so when you talk to people you dont know. Your attitude will get you nowhere. Know your place women
------
me:
nah, you were just reading too much into things. you thought you'd try your luck even though i explicitly stated i'm not interested in doing originals, i told you once, then you reply again saying the SAME DAMN THING like you didnt understand then you get pissed and tell me whatever. haha. youre so funny. yupp i have a choice thats why i said no thanks but you asked again. i just told you things very straight after that first time, didnt resort to any sarcasm and you reply with that. joke's on you pal. now piss off and go whine to your kopitiam or whatever.

9839763- (the coup de grace - wait for it!):
Try my luck? Lol you act like you are go high demand. I just wanted to let you know where the band is go term of musical direction. But you think you are lovelovelovelovelovelovelove good. Women like you should have been taught right. Your men is not doing his job. So you piss off. Go cook your man some eggs and service his needs
--------
aww but really, if you expected women to do something like that, why did you want a female vocalist in the first place?
hope this drama brightened your day a little. yes, in this day and age there still are men who think that the woman's place is in the kitchen and on her knees YET they want these women to sing in bands that are 'going into A Very New Genre'!
and also, ENGRISH is alive and well in singapore! bErI gOoD!~!~
