I feel kinda bad not updating this

But Tumblr is just so much easier and faster.

I posted this on one of the entries below, but for more of an updated thing, follow me on Twitter or Tumblr.

This is why i worry about my friends

This is what's happening on my Facebook right now.

Yeah, as much as i love Kate Is The Decoy, i worry about their mental health

Especially Jon

Alesana and Cancer Bats this week XDXDXDXD

It's only April

And i'm already loving this year.

I was thinking the other day about everything that's happened so far and what i have planned.

I'm unbelievably lucky.

This is why:

- I got to see my favourite band 6 times in under 2 weeks, while meeting them at every show and even having them recognise me by the end of the tour.
- I've been to Florida
- I've met Mickey Mouse (Fuck off, that made my holiday!)
- I'm going to Boston to see 3 of my favourite bands play a show together
- I'm going to Nottingham to see Hit The Lights with my best friend
- I'm going to Reading Festival 2010
- I've made some amazing friends that i now probably couldn't live without


So yeah, i'm lucky.

But it's funny. People are still telling me i should stop all of this, i can't afford it.

No, i can't afford it.

The money i earn will be blown on something similar.

I'd rather be completely broke in two years rather than not have the memories i already have or am soon going to.



Honestly, this blog is for my friends.

My best friends.
The ones i've known for a few years.
The ones i've known for a few weeks.
The Bros.
The Hustlers.
The guys and girls that keep me alive.

Without them, i either wouldn't be here or wouldn't be doing this, the stuff i said i'd never do.

Reading Festival

So yeah, this afternoon, i got picked up by Bee's mum and driven to her house. All to try buying Reading tickets.

3 laptops, 8 ticket websites and 2 panicking teenage girls later, we have Reading weekend tickets.

I can't believe it! 3 days after i turn 18, i'm not only seeing All Time Low live, i'm seeing Blink 182!!!!

Not only that, but about 10-20 minutes ago, A Day To Remember self-confirmed!!!

I am just beyond excited right now

Small update

Not sure why i'm updating this really, not like anyone reads it really, is it?

Anyway, on the off chance there are some people that like reading blogs by a 17 year old girl obsessed with Mickey Mouse and travelling for bands, then this is for you.

Right, so, as many of you probably know, i've been wanting to see Hit The Lights live for a few months now.

Last week, they got announced to play Slam Dunk.

Now, they decided to play two headline shows after that.

So i am seeing them on the 29th May at Slam Dunk, then again on the 2nd June at the Barfly! Happy times!


This past Saturday, i also got to meet the 'Scene Queen' Jac Vanek.

She's famous for once dating Ryan Ross (From Panic! At The Disco and Young Veins) and now selling plastic bracelets that you will pretty much ALWAYS see me wearing.

I was a bit nervous about going, as i thought she would be really stuck up and look down on everyone, but thankfully i was wrong.

She was a really awesome person and it was such a laugh! From meeting in Trafalgar Square, then a trip to McDonalds, then Hamleys, then back to Trafalgar Sqaure where i sat with Bee for about an hour just talking.

It was an awesome day out, a bit of a change, but a welcome one.


So this Saturday, me and Beth are heading to Brixton to see some friends while they queue for You Me At Six. Hopefully, again, it will be a laugh.



Anyway, seeing as i don't update this much, follow me on Twitter ( @1In69Bro ) or even follow me on Tumblr http://overgettingold.tumblr.com

Forever The Sickest Kids

So this weekend has been amazing. Think i posted a brief blog about Sunday, so this one is about yesterday.

Highlights:

- Turning up at half 10 and only 1 person being there
- Realising we could have slept in a fair few hours when no one really showed up for ages
- Going into Starbucks for the second time, being followed in by Kyle a few minutes later
- Stood laughing as Kyle started singing 'I Want To Break Free' by Queen in the middle of Starbucks
- Realising we were the only people actually running away
- Going into Starbucks again and having to walk past Caleb, who gave me and Jess a knowing look with a big smile
- Running past him to warn Jo and Yasmin that Caleb was in there
- Caleb watching us run out again
- Bryony being one of the strangest people i've ever met
- Finally getting into the venue and getting our place infront of the stage
- Me Vs Hero sounding kinda like A Day To Remember
- Chloe getting face raped by the singer
- Llama army!
- Forever The Sickest Kids coming on stage
- Kyle breaking one of his drums during the first song
- Jonathan having a thing about our side
- Having him sing the line 'It's wrong, you dreamt of him' to me, then pointing to me then Austin. EWW!
- Me and Jess being the only girls actually holding Jonathan ON the stage rather than pulling him off
- Stage invasion during Woah Oh! which meant the band had to stop playing as they couldn't actually play their instruments
- Going outside to the G-A-Y club
- YMCA outside the G-A-Y
- Bee and Jo running off to by Appletizer
- Austin trying to get me to stand underneath the G-A-Y sign ¬_¬
- Beth and Jo giving Austin the Appletizer, which he used in every photo after
- Austin trying to 'escape' with the bottles, then having the door locked so he was stuck outside
- Meeting Kent and talking about supermarkets...
- Marc getting the same expression as Bee when i told him i'd never tried Appletizer
- Telling Kyle that we heard him singing in Starbucks earlier, then him singing it on repeat for SO long!
- Sticking Chloe's drumsticks up his nose, then his ass then telling Bee to smell it
- Grabbing Jess's drumstick and throwing it away, after doing the same to Chloe
- Meeting Caleb and it being completely obvious he remembered me from Starbucks, though he didn't mention it
- Telling Caleb he freaked me out slightly. Smiling at us from a dark corner is a bit weird, ok!
- Kyle still singing I Want To Break Free for no one in particular
- Quickly meeting Jonathan and apologizing for probably almost breaking his legs
- All the band being made to get in the van
- Walking to the tube station and seeing Marc, so telling him that he was about to be left behind


So yeah, if i think of anything new, i'll add it, but for now, that's it XD

Weirdest. Gig. Ever.

So yesterday, Jess flew over from Austria for a few days to see Forever The Sickest Kids in London with us.

Today, we met up with Beth, Allie and Rachel to have a random day in London, celebrate Allie's birthday, see Alice In Wonderland and then go to a Summerlin gig.

Many times we laughed till we cried in the diner (You are the meat in my taco) and even watched Allie get chatted up by a guy dressed as a dog.

The gig was weird as hell. We turned up 10 minutes after doors then got told to come back in 5 minutes. We went and sat in the bar, where we saw Andy, who sat down and started talking to us. Hour and a half / two hours later, we decided it would be a good idea to actually go watch the bands playing.

Seriously, the amount of times i've seen My Passion play, i haven't spoken to Andy for that long ever, but he is a definite legend, especially when it involves stories of Scottish Homer Simpson's and rectangle pits.

Why can't i say no?!

So i bought Boston tickets for me and Beth yesterday.

Today we realised that we have seating tickets, 20 rows back.


Any other band, i would say no straight away to spending that much on seeing them in a seat.


All Time Low?

Yeah, me and Bee spent an hour discussing it, and still haven't got a real decision.



I hate All Time Low sometimes

XDXDXDXD

So, as most people know now, me and Beth are gonna be travelling to Boston to see All Time Low as well as Good Charlotte, Simple Plan and Forever The Sickest Kids along with about a hundred other bands

So yeah, obviously me and Bee wanted the Ping Pong Party tickets.

Last night at 10pm, i went on the website ready to buy tickets.

Due to the ticket site fucking me over, i didn't get the Ping Pong Party tickets =[

Upside, i did get the Damned bundle XD

Which means me and my best friend are going to America to see All Time Low!

Excited much?!?!?!?!
