When people only talk to you because they want something from you. Hey man, f you. I can see what's going on here.

I JUST GOT BLOCKED ON FB BECAUSE IM SUCH A VIOLATOR.. FOR ALL MY FRIENDS..

Read on:


I’m going to put it out there. I’m feeling a bit used. I’m too convenient. And it’s making me feel super cheap.

I’m a very generous person right. I’m very giving. I really just want everyone to have a good time and to have incredibly fond memories of me. Let’s face it right, who wants to be known as a “shit” human.

I’m a club promoter. Actually scrap that. I’m a Marco Polo promoter (head promoter actually if you want to know just how important I am....jks babe...) and it’s an event that rivals any other. For one, it’s at ivy Pool Club and secondly, it’s a summer Sunday party. I love it. I wholeheartedly throw myself into the brand and I do everything and anything you can imagine possible to make it better. I am 110% committed.

I throw out about 2000 Facebook statuses a day, I’m constantly messaging friends telling them to come down, consistently harassing my team to do the same and as a result, pissing off every single person on my friends list. Despite this, they still come.

So it’s worth it for me…my eyes are dollar signs…cha-ching! (NB: I had my 21st birthday party a month early at the MP closing party because I knew I would make money off it… that’s the kind of person I am… I'M ALL BUSINESS BABY!)

The truth is that as a promoter, I can be everyone’s most hated and most loved friend on Facebook. I can get a certain amount of people in for free each week, can occasionally get free drink cards and use my trusty Marco Polo captain card to get 50% off, which seemingly makes me very popular.

I’m not immune the snakes that abuse this friendship. I’m all for giving those few individuals that introduce themselves and like to party free entry and a few cheap drinks, that’s fine, but what really, “gets my goat”, is those people that just expect it for nothing in return. I mean seriously, how hard it is to say, “Hey! I’ve seen you around. My name is blah-blah. How have you been?”

In conclusion, (and back to my point of me feeling like a used dishwashing rag) stop messaging me when you want free entry for nothing in return. You can have it when you become something more than a Facebook friend.

It’s really quite possible that there are people reading this thinking that I’m being completely hypocritical seeing as I will go into the city for a night out and come home without having paid for a thing, but I’m friends with a lot of people, (plus I'm a chick) and the industry is all about give and take.

Oh and P.S, contrary to popular belief, I don’t work for The Usual Suspects. I can’t help you there. You may want to hit up Elliott Armour or Will Williams for that...
