I know that only me and Bee were two of about 10 people that sung along to New Noise by Refused
So i'm posting this:

Go educate yourselves.
Not usually my sort of music, but this song is a classic and i was quite disappointed that more people didn't know this song

2009 - The Year Of The Bros
Sorry Bee, i did kinda steal the title from your blog XD
I'm looking back on this year and i've realised how lucky i was. Sure, there were some down points...One in particular sticks in my mind and changed how the rest of the year acted out.
So yeah, it's New Years Eve, i'm sat at home and i'm writing a highlights/lowlights blog for the year.
Lets get the bad stuff out of the way first:
- Getting stuck in London after the second Aiden date because i missed the last tube and having to almost run back to Kings Cross from Camden with someone i had only met twice before. Love to Oiefa, Charlotte, Rachel, Dale and Lauren for helping me out in that situation and being more concerned about me than most people.
- Saying some regretful things to some people
- Trying to become friends with certain people, who then i realised weren't worth the time or the effort
- Not eating in a 12 hour queue and passing out as well as throwing up infront of one of my heroes
Now here's a list of the good stuff...It's gonna be a long one:
- Seeing Jump The Lights live for the first time and, soon after, becoming one of the 'die hards'
- Seeing Kate Is The Decoy on the same day, a band who i will always go see just for the laughs and the randomness of the members.
- Getting to meet Forever The Sickest Kids and Austin Bello becoming one of my favourite people.
- Meeting one of my favourite photographers, Peter Hill. I've looked up to him for about 2 years now, so it was quite nice to finally meet him.
- Meeting Georgina for the second time.
- And, on a related note, the two My Passion gigs in one day.
- Give It A Name 09. Met half of The Blackout for the first time and also Matt Rubano from Taking Back Sunday, who is an amazing guy.
- The Underworld gig. As bad as it was, me and my friends still laugh about points of it.
- The random London trips, which have included cupcakes, photos, Hyde Park and pregnant men
- The Blackout Barfly show
- Seeing Family Force 5
- Spending my birthday at a friends birthday party, but watching Members Of Me and My Passion get drunk. Birthday well spent.
- Being in The Blackout's music video for This Is Why We Can't Have Nice Things
- Getting to see one of my favourite bands live three times in five days. Norwich, Kingston and London.
- We Are The Ocean!
- Becoming the owner of Jack Barakat's guitar pick, an Alex Gaskarth guitar pick and two All Time Low setlists.
- Helping a lost Jack Barakat, Rian Dawson and Ryan Ogren through Kingston to the venue, including 'ALL TIME LOW! *jumps on Jack*'
- Seeing The King Blues, which is one of my favourite gigs of the year
- Being shocked by 3OH!3's live show
- Being given tickets to Kerrang! Tour dates in Birmingham, Bristol and Southampton for xmas, which brings the total up to 5 now
- Seeing Kate Is The Decoy and The Blackout in a two gigs, two days, two countries thing
And Finally, although it isn't happening this year:
-Being able to independently pay to go to Florida for two weeks
2010 has a lot to beat

Part 2
The Blackout at Clwb Ifor Bach in Cardiff:
- Driving to Cardiff
- Being warned about the crazy family i was going to meet
- Searching for sheep at one of the stops
- Bee getting attacked by grit XD
- Meeting Bee's nan
- Dribble cat!
- Then 'Smack a cat'
- Realising we could smell like Red Bull if we really wanted to
- Getting to the venue after doors
- Double-taking as Ian Watkins walked past a set of doors as we walked past them
- Getting into the main room and finding it about 1/8th full...No joke
- Spending most of the first band wondering if we were standing behind We Are The Ocean or not
- The Blackout covering New Noise, which only me, Bee and about 5 other people in the crowd actually knew
- The Dickhead stage diver, who didn't get the hint even after we started just letting him fall to the floor
- Sean holding mine and Bees hand and literally refusing to let go
- The Blackout performing We're Going To Hell in the crowd
- Then helping Gav untangle his mic lead from Bees foot...Awkward to say the least
- Becoming almost BFFs with Sean...He wouldn't stop looking at us!
- Stage invasion at the end...I ran away from it
- Talking to Snoz about dribbling cats and how sweaty he really was (His shirt was literally soaked through)
- Leaving the venue, where we saw Ian Watkins stood behind the same set of doors we saw him behind earlier.
- Once leaving the venue, we had the same regret that we did/do have with the 'Kingston situation'
- Downing about half a bottle of Cherryade back at the house
- Looking through my photos before finally calling it a night
Now i know i've said before how i really feel about the Blackout, and i'm not joking when i say that i'm sick of the sight of those boys, but no matter how much i cba with their gigs, i never regret going.
It is safe to say that TBO really are one of the best live bands i've seen and i'm going to continue to see them live, no matter how much i see them EVERYWHERE else

The last two gigs of the decade
Highlights blog time!
28/12/09:
-Killing time in Hitchin by running around looking for My Passion logos
- Chavs whistling at us, so started to sing Starstrukk to see if they would whistle in time. They didn't.
- Vom chips!
- Walking to Club 85 then Bee getting a phonecall from Skye, making sure we were actually going to the gig
- Turning up and not being allowed in, so talking to the security guy about IDs
- Going across the road to get a drink and running into Skye outside Papa Johns
- Giving her the cards and presents, which then involved her jumping, hugging us all, running inside to show members of Black Polaris and then starting to cry!
- Finally going into the venue and sitting at the back with KITD instead of going to the stage...We were the only people there that weren't properly connected with the bands.
- The first band sounding like Blink 182 and having Dougie from McFly as a bassist
- The second band not being too bad, that opinion changed later on the night
- Black Polaris being...Interesting, but honestly quite good.
- Having to leave the venue for the 4th band
- Going to the toilets then meeting Mr Cokehead
- Going into the main room after the 4th band and watching Bee get chatted up by the bassist of the second band
- Him then coming over and opening with the line 'I'm not a pedo'
- Then trying to get Georgina to start a long distance relationship with his mate from Birmingham, who honestly looked like Jay Smith
- Heading to the stage for KITD, mainly for fear of our own safety
- Getting embarassed by Skye, as she told the whole crowd about the cards we made for them
- Georgina getting confused when i told her she was older than Tom
- Seeing Skye outside and getting a photo with her before saying a rushed bye and leaving =[
Ok so, honestly, cba with posting the Blackout half just yet...Maybe later or tomorrow

Ok, so this is just gonna be a big miss-mash of stuff...Is that even a word? Oh well, anyway.
So yesterday i saw some family i haven't seen in two years! I didn't get to see them last year due to work =[ But yesterday was a good laugh. Spent most of my time talking to my cousins, where one of our conversations ended up like this:
Sophie - Yeah, the ghost in Paranormal Activity has footprints, but like bird footprints
Lindsey - So the ghost walks in and drags the woman out of bread?
Me - Out of bread?
Lindsey - Yes bread! That's why he has footprints like a bird. He come in every night to steal their bread!
Seriously, the madness runs in the family. My mum's side is nowhere near as fun. My dads side pwns all.
My calendar has grown a lot as well. Look a few posts back and you will see what it was like. It's now looking like this:
28/12 - Kate Is The Decoy
29/12 - 'The Party'
19/01 - My Passion and Young Guns
24/01 - Travel to Southampton
25/01 - Kerrang! Tour Southampton
26/01 - Kerrang! Tour Bristol
30/01 - Kerrang! Tour Birmingham
05/02 - Kerrang! Tour London
06/02 - Kerrang! Tour London
08/02 - Fly to Florida
22/02 - Fly home from Florida
16/04 - Alesana and A Skylit Drive
17/04 - Bowling For Soup
XDXDXD
Excited doesn't cover it!
Now on a serious note. A lot of my friends have had fallings out recently. Whether or not they read this, i want you to know that i don't want to be involved. Which means no dragging me into any arguments that don't directly involve me.
I hate watching my friends fall out but i keep my nose out. It's not my business and i don't want it to be.
Also yesterday, i got given the best compliment ever! by my friend Beth.
It involved her telling me that i'm to nice, like Rian Dawson, but without having a piano in my mouth.
So yeah, being compared to one of my fave members of ATL makes me happy.
Also yes, i love ATL all the same, but Rian and Jack are just slightly ahead of Alex and Zack.
Now on a completely serious, and slightly related, note, i would like to say this to someone.
Don't take the fact that i'm a nice person for granted! After everything you've done since the beginning of this year, it's starting to run out. When i first met you a few years ago, you were one of my best friends. Read that again and see what one word sticks out. WERE! You do not know me as well as you used to, stop believing you do.
I MISS OLD ALL TIME LOW!!!
If you understand what i REALLY mean by that, i love you =]

Seriously, what the fuck?
No part of you is the person i used to know.
From what i've seen recently, i realised how much you've changed.
It's not for the better.
You have done a complete u-turn on the person i became friends with.
I'm giving up, honestly.
I don't care about your life any more and i'm sick of trying to help.
I hope you realise what went wrong soon enough, regardless it is to late to fix any of it.
You talk like you're famous
You're shameless

So yesterday...
Was a mixture of things.
I found out that i'm going to Birmingham for Kerrang Tour!!
Bee actually got me tickets as my christmas present!
Do you see why i love that girl?
KITD gig got cancelled =[
We gave JTL their xmas card, which they seemed to like seeing as it was made out of literally glitter and crayon.
Meeting the 'street team' (They seriously don't deserve that name)
Being one of the few people who actually knew the Tick Tock dance
And many other things i honestly cba to type atm
It was a good/bad/weird day, complete with shopping in Asda to buy random unhealthy crap with Georgina when we got back to Hatfield
Tomorrow i get to go back to my favourite city in the world and get to see people i haven't seen in months!
Then, of course, it's xmas on Friday
XDXD

Just for something different...
I decided to make a blog about my five favourite photographers.
Some you may have heard of, some you might not have.
All links will be posted at the end of this
So here they are:
1.
Peter Hill
So i got lead to his site by one of my best friends, while we were both fans of the Automatic. He used to be on tour with them, and would photograph the whole thing.
His Simple Plan photos are some of my favourites ever.
I was also actually lucky enough to meet him when i saw Forever The Sickest Kids at Islington Academy. I kinda confused him by knowing his name, but the fact i got to meet him made me happier than the band i was seeing.
2.
Adam Elmakias
So most of you would have heard of him recently, he was the guy who took the photos of All Time Low literally naked.
I went through his photostream on Flickr, soon realising that (like with the photo above) he actually took some of my favourite promo shots of All Time Low, along with some amazing photos of bands on Warped Tour this summer.
3.
Stacy Magallon
This girl is literally amazing. Would you believe she's only 16?
She takes amazing photos of her home and of the bands she's lucky enough to photograph.
Some of you may have heard of her before, she was the girl that come up with 'The Truth Is...'
She really is one of my favourite photographers ever.
4.
Georgina Potter
So i know that she is one of my best friends, but she is also an amazing photographer. It's because of her that i got a Flickr account, which led me to finding out about many of my other fave photographers.
She's one of the best people you could ever have the chance to meet and i'm honestly priveleged to know someone as talented as she is.
5.
Danny Kurily
So if you've never heard of him, you really don't read this blog very often.
He is better known as the guitar tech for All Time Low.
The photo of Rian is nowhere near his best photo, but it's part of the 'Dawson Project' which was created when i saw All Time Low at the Electric Ballroom on October 5th. One of my favourite memories of that show involves Danny climbing up the rigging on the side of the stage just to take photos for this 'project', with both me and Bee praying he wouldn't fall/die.
Flickrs / Tumblrs everyone mentioned:
(I'm sorry that this blog was probably WAY to long)

Good mood
In 6 days, i see my bro's again for the first time in ages! (For me and Bee, a week is a bloody long time!)
And of course, KITD and JTL, but yeah.
Also, the Christmas decorations have just been put up!
My house looks like it's ready for xmas now!
I just decorate the tree by myself for the first time ever as well!
(My parents don't usually trust me to)
But now i'm in an awesome mood
I'm talking to awesome people
And i honestly just want a hot chocolate...Maybe that's next on the list

Impulse buying
I'm the worst at it.
Seriously.
So today, i went to Welwyn Garden City with my parents. I had no money and they were going xmas shopping for someone, so i thought i'd tag along.
I wasn't supposed to buy anything.
I came home with a new perfume and a new bag for Florida.
But, in my defence, the perfume is AMAZING!!
It's one of Gwen Stefani's 'Harajuku Lovers' perfumes.
It cost £12.50, but it was worth it.
Anyway, i spent £27.50 all together in Welwyn earlier...Of my dad's money.
But then, i had to return my watch (which i was not happy about) so i was £10 richer XDXD
Then i got home and checked Twitter.
I then saw that Young Guns had posted this on their online store:
http://youngguns.bigcartel.com/product/winter-kiss-pre-order-bundle
For £6, you get a t-shirt, poster and cd.
I honestly don't think that's to bad.
So i'm buying that when i get paid on Friday.
And about 20 minutes ago, my friend posted a link on Twitter.
I have now pre-ordered even more All Time Low stuff that i REALLY don't need.
But again, a cd/dvd of their Unplugged performance, a poster and the four figurines for $25 isn't to bad.
It actually come to about £22 and that is WITH the shipping!
Fucking bargain!
Only downside is my bank account is probably like - £10 =[
I really shouldn't be allowed a credit card

I then saw that Young Guns had posted this on their online store:
http://youngguns.bigcartel.com/product/winter-kiss-pre-order-bundle
For £6, you get a t-shirt, poster and cd.
I honestly don't think that's to bad.
So i'm buying that when i get paid on Friday.
And about 20 minutes ago, my friend posted a link on Twitter.
I have now pre-ordered even more All Time Low stuff that i REALLY don't need.
But again, a cd/dvd of their Unplugged performance, a poster and the four figurines for $25 isn't to bad.
It actually come to about £22 and that is WITH the shipping!
Fucking bargain!
Only downside is my bank account is probably like - £10 =[
I really shouldn't be allowed a credit card

I gave and I gave, and You took and You took. Till I was down on the ground Battered and bruised. And then you walked away Because I wasn’t shiny or new. But my wounds have healed, I picked my head up. I dusted myself off and began to walk. And now I’m further then I ever would have been with you by my side. - Danny Kurily
I love that man more than i thought was imaginable,
But yeah, the reason that this was posted is because when i first read that on his Tumblr the other day, i thought of one person, and one person alone.
So maybe it was never that bad with them, i managed to start to walk away before i was 'battered and bruised'.
Right now, i'm walking but they're still calling after me.
Hopefully soon enough they will loose their voice and accept that they've lost me.

I've been thinking...
About this past year.
I've realised how much everything has changed.
This time last year, i was looking forward to seeing My Passion at Breaks Manor, after literally just seeing them play the Camden Barfly.
I only spoke to Georgina over msn, having only met her once in person just over a month before.
I was closer to people who i now realise never really thought much of me.
I had heard of Sonic 21, but had never even seen them live.
I had never heard of Kate Is The Decoy.
So Wrong, It's Right by All Time Low was the one cd always stuck in my stereo.
I thought i could trust that one person with everything, that they would always be there to stick up for me.
Most of my friends i had known for under two months.
I had only seen the Blackout once, and never met them!
And now look.
This year i have accomplished so much.
I have met some of the best people you could ever wish to meet in your life.
I've met people that some people would give up so much to meet just once.
I realised that no matter how close you are to someone, you're not as close as you think you are.
Sonic 21 changed their name to Jump The Lights and became one of my favourite local bands.
Kate Is The Decoy not only become another favourite local band, but very good friends as well.
I had the chance to see one of my favourite bands three times in under a week.
I see Georgina at least once a month, and i miss her a ridiculous amount at the times inbetween.
I've been able to pay for myself to go to Florida, while also paying for more gigs than i could ever imagine and two gigs that will let me see one of my favourite bands twice in 48 hours.
I've grown closer to people i used to rarely ever see.
So in short, this year has been, quite literally, a rollercoaster.
What makes me smile is that i still have three weeks of it left.
2010 will have a lot to live up to.
But it's starting off right.
Hopefully with the friends i have now, next decade will be more mindblowing than this one.

This time, in two months...
I would have seen these guys a total of 7 times.
Twice in 48 hours <3
And i will be packing my bags to go here.
I'm honestly loving 2010 more than anything else already
Especially when you consider my calendar for the first two months looks like this:
19/1 - My Passion and Young Guns at Club 85
5/2 - My Passion, Young Guns, The Blackout and All Time Low at the Camden Roundhouse
6/2 - My Passion, Young Guns, The Blackout and All Time Low at the Camden Roundhouse
8/2 - Fly to Florida
22/2 - Come home
Not much, but it's amazing for me XD

Today...
Was a complete laugh. Got to spend time with my lubby!
Regardless i may have hated her for knocking on my front door literally 10 minutes after i woke up. I only just got to the bottom of the stairs as she got to my front door!
But today has made me look even more forward to the 19th.
Jump The Lights and Kate Is The Decoy <3
But yeah, today involved wandering around the Galleria before 11am! What's worst is there were people already walking around! Why?!
Then walking around all the pound shops in the town centre looking for glitter glue.
Making xmas cards with the glitter glue...Using WAY too much of the stuff.
And then deciding to play Guitar Hero...We ended up making characters of Alex Gaskarth, Zack Merrick, Danny Kurily and Flyzik....Jack Barakat already existed and we couldn't make Rian or Greico as they were drummers...We need to make Vinny though!!
But ahh i can't wait for the 19th!
Good bands. Good music. Good friends. Good times!!
But yeah, can i just speed up the next two weeks please?

Just a few words to someone
If they read this, i will be surprised. I don't think they even know this exists.
Then again, if you're reading this, it's not about you...I'm not kidding about them not knowing this blog exists.
But honestly, you think you know me like you used to? You have no idea of some of the things i'm going / have been through. You act like we're as close as we used to be, but you have no idea. I've been through a hell of a lot and a lot of changes have been made. You're not as important as you used to be.
Put your feet on the ground and look at the real world.
And be careful. I'm not gonna pick up all the pieces when this doesn't work out.

Just because i haven't updated in a while
So...What's new.
The 19th has gone from seeing Jump The Lights and The Broadcast live at Remix in Hitchin to seeing Jump The Lights at Remix, then running across Hitchin so we can see Kate Is The Decoy in Club 85 that same night.
In case you couldn't already tell, Jump The Lights and Kate Is The Decoy are literally two of my favourite local bands ever!!
I miss them both way too much =[
Also, my xmas shopping is now almost done. Georgina's presents have been bought. One of Bee's is wrapped up in my room, another is (Hopefully) on order...If not i'm killing someone at FBR, seriously! Half of my brother's present has been bought.
For my dad, i'm doing him a painting of the Blues Brothers, which is his favourite film ever. I remember watching it when i was a kid and it's now slowly starting to become one of my favourite films as well.
For my mum, i have no idea what i'm gonna buy...
My parents are seriously the most awkward people in the world to buy for.
What else...Erm...
Oh yeah, i've started buying stuff for K! tour.
Well ok, a can of dry shampoo and a pair of leggings, but still!
It's the best part of two months away still but i'm looking forward to it so much!
Not just because of spending two days with some of my best friends, but because i'm getting to see one of my favourite bands ever twice in 48 hours!
On another note on the 'favourite band' thing, i actually become the happiest i've been in a while this morning.
Digging around in my wardrobe for a clean shirt, i found my old Simple Plan shirt. And when i say old, i mean i bought it before i saw them live for the first time (14th February 2006).
I haven't been able to wear it pretty much since then because it's been to small =[
But now, it actually fits!!
You have no idea how happy that makes me!
It still remains one of my favourite shirts i've ever bought and, if i'm right, it was one of the first band shirts i EVER owned.
Ok this post is already to long now, so i'm leaving it here
Also, if you want to get me something for xmas, get me Russell Howard in a box XD

My 69th blog!!
So yeah, my 69th blog (Which is about 68 more than i've posted on any other blog i have)
And what with the whole 69, bro! thing me, Bee and Georgina have, i shall just say that i miss them both way too much (regardless i only saw Bee less than 24 hours ago)
And, regardless that apart from my friends he is the one person that is probably mentioned most on my blog, i think Danny K is officially one of my favourite people in the world ever!
Like, more than Solomon and FTSK
And ATL
But not Flyzik, but on the same level as him
Which is saying something right there
If you have a Tumblr, go follow him!
http://www.dannykurily.com/
DO IT!!!
Or at least just go through and check out his photography
Especially the 'Dawson Project'
Ok i'm gonna stop rambling about a guy i've never even properly met yet now
69, BRO!!!

BEST BLACKOUT GIG CROWD EVER!!!
The Blackout 'Pole' crew!!
So today, regardless me and Bee didn't really wanna go, was much more fun than we could have thought!
So we didn't get to the front, we sat at the side where there was some pole-dancing pole thing, and apparently we had people thinking we were backstage lmao!
Anyway highlights:
- Finally getting to see Banquet...Not that great
- Seeing the Blackout (Minus Sean) on the street, warning them about the scary fans then having Snoz shout 'You're a scary fan!' at me...
- Going in the Entertainer and buying a Buzz Lightyear blanket
- Seeing Jo and Becky again
- Spending WAY too much time in Disney Store
- Finding the perfect pen for The Blackout
- Deciding to join the queue at 3:50 when doors opened at 4
- Standing on the pole dancing stage, and the start of 'the pole crew'
- Our dramatic Woah-oh's in It's High Tide Baby
- My sunglasses being thrown up, going missing, then Snoz wearing them
- Screaming all the time for Gavin instead of Sean
- Watching security push off anyone else who tried to stand where we were
- Watch Sean pretty much get raped
- Trying to get my sunglasses back
- Trying on my sunglasses outside McClusky's and realising Snoz had actually stretched them slightly
- Going outside and waiting for about an hour or so in the rain to meet TBO and say bye to people
- Seeing Nicole driving and finding it really weird!
- Meeting Snoz, who was amazed at the Darth Vader breathing mask game thing!
- Rhys being kinda awkward, and saying to him about today being the first time in a LONG time that we'd seen him sober
- Sean telling us the back of his head was apparently ginger, then saying that i'm a 'proud ginger' for dying my hair black when i took offence to the ginger thing
- Gavin being as amazed with the Darth Vader thing than Snoz was
- Matthew actually talking to us!!
- Figuring out the pole crew gang sign on the train home
But yeah, considering we didn't really want to go, it was an amazing day and not one i'll be forgetting any time soon. Kinda can't wait for K! tour even more now.

Good memories, amazing friends, amazing shows.

As much as i would love to take Bee's challenge
I actually have no photos of me on my computer from longer than two years ago.
Anyway, two things i would absoleutly LOVE to spaz about right now:
1. I now own Sebastien Lefebvre's debut solo EP.
If you don't know who he is, i may hate you right now.
But if you can pronounce his surname, i shall take it back.
Anyway, he is one of the guitarists of Simple Plan and i am actually in love with his voice!
I mean, he does backing vocals in SP, but i never thought he would sound so good as a solo artist!
Anyway, i shall post his debut video at the end of this, and you all better watch it!!
2. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH SECOND LONDON K! TOUR DATE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yes that means for the second time in two days i shall be seeing My Passion, Young Guns, The Blackout and (Most importantly) ALL TIME LOW!!!!
Yeah, as usual, don't really care about the other three, but ATL hold the biggest place in my heart, so i have to spaz about them more!
And if that wasn't enough, one of my best friends literally EVER! may be coming to the show and i haven't seen her since July last year, so, if i actually could, i'd be doing backflips right now.

IT'S PEANUT BUTTER JELLY TIME!
I've realised that some people need to get their head out the clouds.
In other news, i have fallen more in love with Danny K.
I lie awake in my bunk driving through the washington mountains on route to idaho. My mind often wanders and races in the time that I lie down and that I actually fall asleep. I seem to be stuck on the thought of marriage. This could be because I had to get measured for my friends wedding that I am lucky enough to be a part of in January. The thought hits me, where did the time go? It wasn’t but 5years ago that I was playing in a band with this dude. We were yóung and stupid. It seems that a lot of my friends I went to grade school with, high school with are either married, engaged or have kids. This leads me to myself, A single early twenties dude. I’m not sure what the perfect age is to get married. I figure that when I do get married then that is the perfect age. Part of me thinks it would be the most incredible thing. Part of me says you’re to young, live. Part of me says you need to settle down. Part of me says you’re scared to do either. I don’t really know where I’m going, but I know I’m moving forward. I don’t really know the future but I remember my past. I guess the point I’m trying to make is this. What you’re happy with might not make everyone else happy. This is your life though, not theirs. Let the chips fall where they may, and just enjoy the ride.
Seriously, seeing that on his Tumblr this morning made me smile and slightly sad.
If i meet him in London in February, i need to actually talk to him and get a photo with him.
Also, now looking forward to Saturday. Sixth time seeing the Blackout, getting to see some friends i haven't seen for a while and also getting to spend the day with my lubby.
Ahh kinda can't wait XD
(PS the title had nothing to do with the blog. I'm just watching Family Guy and that was just said...And now Stewie is spazzing because Peter is taking him to Disneyland =] )

This photo deserves it's on blog in my opinion
XD
I love Danny K
Such a nerd, but so amazingly awesome
I'm making it my goal to meet him on K! Tour...Properly, anyway.

Sat here listening to Lost In Stereo by All Time Low for the first time since TWOA
And hearing the line 'Tattoo's and a switch blade attitude, snake bite heart with bubblegum smile' i can't help but smile and think of Jack standing three feet away singing it to me.
Sad, i know, but i really don't care.
I want to go back to that week SO much, but i have a feeling the next time we do something like that, it will be about 1000000000000000000000 times more awesome

Can't wait...
For tomorrow
Ok, so i'm not a fan of waking up at 7am
Or going to work from 8am - 2pm
Or the trains being a pain in the ass
But i am excited to see Jump The Lights for the first time in two months. It's insane how much i miss those guys.
How do you do this to me?

Ten things to ten people
Ok, so i'm a few weeks behind on this really.
Almost all of it will be about people i know don't read this blog. Some of them might, but i doubt they will.
1. I honestly don't know what to say about you. I'm comfortable around you but i wish i knew how you saw me. Sometimes it seems like you see me as a friend, when others you can't stand the sight of me. I just wish you'd put my mind to rest.
2. I honestly don't get why people like you so much. Yeah, you're a nice person, but you are nothing compared to some other people in the world.
3. I have no idea where i'd be without you now. You've helped me find out loads of new things about myself and been with me throughout things i never really thought of. You really are one of the few people i couldn't live without.
4. I laugh at the fact they hate me because they think i'm a bad influence. I just wander if they know what YOU really get up to on a night out.
5. I'm still figuring out how i think of you. Hopefully it won't be much longer before i realise it.
6. You need to sort yourself out. I wonder sometimes if you even want me to be your friend. Figure it out and get back to me, ok?
7. I worry about you more than i show. I wish we lived closer just so it would be easier to be there for you when you need it. I sometimes feel like i'm not as good a friend as i'm supposed to be and for that i apologise. I love you, i really do, please don't think otherwise.
8. I don't know you that well, i'm aware of that, but i still love you like a friend. I wish i spoke to you more though.
9. You're not the person i used to know. I miss them.
10. Stop acting like you're God's gift. There is nothing special about you. You are a normal teenage girl and you need to learn to just deal with what people say.
I know some of these aren't longer than one sentence, but i just wanted to put down my basic thoughts without it being to obvious.

3OH!3
Ok, just realised i haven't posted a blog on this yet so shall do now.
Highlights:
- Me and Jack thinking we were gonna miss the train, but then it turned out we had to wait for 20 minutes ¬_¬
- Finally seeing Bee's Danny Hat and Ravens jersey
- Getting to Camden about half 5 and finding about 30 people in the queue
- Introducing Jack to Young Guns and him saying they sound like Panic! At The Disco
- Seeing Lucy again
- Seeing the girl from the Blackout who's name i still can't remember...She just come up to me and pointed at me before telling me how she'd just gone digging in a bin
- Going in and somehow managing to get barrier...Ok we were right at the side, but still
- The first band being shit, but being fronted by an ugly version of Ian Watkins
- WORST INTER-BAND MUSIC EVER!!
- Sean Smith dj set
- Jay Smith running around as Optimus Prime
- Sean actually getting his set cut off because he went over the time he was allowed
- Nate from 3OH!3 actually looking like a stick in person! Apart from the Horrors, i've never seen someone so skinny!
- Suddenly being turned into an ATL show when a bra got thrown up on stage
- Watching Sean get mobbed by fangirls at the merch desk
- The security guard being all O_O when we told him we were in the queue for the cloakroom
- Me and Bee trying not to laugh at the people on the train
- Then realising one looks like a member of Cute Is What We Aim For
- Bee almost leaving her shirt at the train station, just minutes after her mum said about me being more sensible than her XD
Ok, probably more but i can't think. Probably will get edited if i think of anything else.

This one might actually not be pointless
So i was scrolling through absolutepunk.net earlier today and i saw a news story that said the following:
According to this study, those who download music illegally are the same people who spend the most on music.
Now i've just spent about ten minutes going through all of the replies that the story has had so far, and have seen many interesting viewpoints.
About 80% of the people say how they will download something to hear it before buying the album itself, or instead support the band by going to their shows and buying merch.
The other 20% say about how stealing is stealing, no matter how you justify it, it's still wrong.
I personally download a lot of my music illegally, i'm not gonna lie. Most of the time it is because i don't have the money to buy the cd or it is physically impossible for me to find the cd in a record store.
But if you consider the amount of money i spend on gigs, surely that's better?
Barely any money from record sales go to the band, where if you go to a show, more money goes to them to keep them going.
Look at when All Time Low played over here last month. I spent around £40 on three tickets to see them live (One ticket also involved buying their album 'Nothing Personal' which was actually the third copy of that album that i bought). At the shows themselves, i spent £50 on merchandise alone.
If it wasn't for being able to illegally download music, i would never have spent that much money on them, so surely downloading isn't all that bad?
I'm ending this here. Sorry if this made little/no sense or i repeated myself, but i'm half asleep right now and serious blogs aren't my strong point lol.

Bee is the only person who will actually get this
After spending half an hour trying to find a photo of Greico
I love that Danny's head actually fit perfectly for that photo.
I know it's crap, i only have paint!
And that original photo of Danny is now my laptop background, it's just to adorable!
Ahh 3 random convos
One with my lubby, involving random-ness that our conversations usually involve.
Then one text conversation with Jack, who has just called me his favourite person ever and is a huge fail for not knowing Sean Smith was dj-ing the 3OH!3 tour.
And one more text conversation with Roma, who i haven't seen since Give It A Name!! But now i'm seeing her on November 14th, so all is good! Should probably wear my Converse, as every time i've met her so far, she's written something on my shoes (Starting with 'Roma's official sofa...AND YOUR WARM!!' written on my shoes at Simple Plan last year)
Love my friends XD

XD
This is the first time i've been on real internet since yesterday afternoon!
I hate having to survive off mobile internet, and it made me realise how much i talk to and miss my lubby lol.
I ended up texting her way more than i usually do instead though.
We come up with the idea of making a Vinny Vegas robot, who only knows how to BLLR.
And turned Danny K, Flyzik, Greico and Vinny into Mojo Jojo and the Powerpuff girls.
Anyway, can't wait to see my lubby / bros tomorrow.
Going to Shakeaway and then (hopefully) going to see Jennifer's Body at the cinema XD
Fun times

I never thought i'd say this...
But work was actually fun.
Mainly the organising the trolley race.
George clothing vs. checkouts.
Watching two guys actually, seriously discuss who is the lightest person on their department, so they know who to put in the trolley.

Tonight...
Was amazing!
Well...Apart from the fangirls that are now at every My Passion gig.
Note to those girls: I've seen My Passion 26 times now. They recognise me and usually stop and say hi. I don't ask them to, so stop giving me evils if i get a hug and you don't. Just fucking deal with it!
So their set tonight was actually better than the one at Remix, although it was definitely more painful.
But yeah, highlights:
- Moustache!
- Photos with my pimps
- Minnie Mouse ears
- Trying to get a photo of John in the Minnie Mouse ears, but he said no because he didn't want to ruin his hair before their set.
- Random, random photos
- Andy wearing the Minnie Mouse ears, then being filmed for the tour diary.
- Laurence proper whacking me on the head.
- Meeting all of MP afterwards and getting them to wear the Minnie Mouse ears
- Andy wearing them as a beard
- Jonathan kind of air humping me on the way out of the venue...Awkward is an understatement.
- Lurking at the White Shark.
- Watching John 'catch the cymbals with his toe'
- "You look like a well-dressed hobo" "A well dressed homo?"
- Getting rushed hugs from the guys as they were forced into the van by Andy.
There is probably a lot more, but i can't think and should be asleep.
Night all.

Framing Hanley <3
So after seeing them on Kerrang the other day, i started listening to them again.
I'm now in love with their album.
Mainly the song Slow Dance.
I've had it on my iTunes 2 days, it's been played 5 times, which is good when i don't listen to music on my laptop that much really.
And on a related note, the singer, Kenneth Nixon:
Nom y/y?
(I'm sorry i used the term nom...As a serious thing as well...Shameful)

Today/Tonight
Was amazing!
Kate Is The Decoy and My Passion <3
Highlights:
- Going to the sweet shop in Hitchin that sells American sweets and spending way too much time in there.
- Buying Skye from KITD even more sweets to fill up her Steve bag with.
- Seeing Skye before we went in and giving her the bag...It apparently made her day and she would have screamed if she'd felt like it.
- Me and Bee buying 67 sets of plastic vampire fangs to throw at KITD during their set.
- Selling a pair to Matt then making someone buy 3 more sets so we had 69 XD
- Seeing Alex from KITD and telling him he wasn't allowed near Steve. Also listening to him explain his weird night out last night and discussing how 69 was a better number than 66 or 70.
- Agreeing on a 'code word' with Alex, once inside the venue, so we know when to throw the fangs. We agreed on 'epic pointing' and him shouting poo at us.
- Suffering through 2 support bands i didn't care to remember the names of.
- Finally watching Panda Police and having the singer dance weirdly in front of me.
- KITD finally getting on stage! And having crayons throw at me by Skyes boyfriend, who i still can't remember the name of.
- Talking to Skye about keeping Steve safe. She told us that if anyone besides us took him, she would stop the song completely just to get him back.
- Steve sitting on Skyes synth for most of the set.
- Not being allowed to throw up the fangs during the song planned =[
- Throwing up the fangs during their final song, and me and Bee trying to help Tom catch a set in his mouth...He failed...Miserably.
- My Passion coming on stage and getting crushed by the little teen girls there.
- Simon deciding he would pose for my camera AFTER i've taken the photo.
- Almost being decapitated by Simon.
- The song lyrics sheet.
- The look on those girls faces when Bee binned Laurences Red Bull can in front of them...Highlight of my night.
Ok, so reading back on that...Kinda obvious i wanted to see KITD more than MP really isn't it?
Oh well, i love them to death!

I always find it strange...
How the smallest thing can make your day.
There's certain people i know where just seeing them or seeing them smile will just brighten your day, no matter how crappy it is.
Hell there's certain people where if i even just hear their voice, i'll start smiling.
Everyone has people like this in their life.
For me, some are friends/people i know and (of course) band members.
But the majority are people i see at work.
I don't just mean the ones i work with, but even some of the customers. Strange how some will treat you like you're not good enough to be breathing the same air, yet some will just be so happy, you can't help but smile and laugh along with them.
Yeah, i'm rambling now.
Sorry.

3rd November...
Is either gonna be surprisingly amazing
Or so funny it's stupid.
Me and Bee are going to see 3OH!3 at the Electric Ballroom in Camden.
I'll admit now, i did say i wouldn't see them live, but i'm curious as to if they're good.
And i would pay the £12 ticket price alone just to hear Don't Trust Me and I'm Not Your Boyfriend live.
Either way, it should be fun.

Good mood now
So right now, i'm sat here, strangely awake considering it's almost 12:30am on a (technically) Sunday night.
I'm watching the Shining on tv, as there is nothing else on...Not that this is a bad film anyway.
And i'm on msn, talking to one of my best friends, who i haven't spoken to in forever!
So yeah, right now i'm in a LML mood.

Yesterday, i got to see the King Blues again. If i'm honest, part of me didn't want to go, as i just couldn't be bothered to go to a gig, yet i still went anyway.
Best decision of the week.
Highlights:
- Seeing Georgina again for the first time in two months! I miss that girl too much.
- Me, Vi and Bee trying to figure out if the guy on the balcony was Matt from Madina Lake (It wasn't, they were in Glasgow last night)
- Getting about 4th row for King Blues, which was decent as we only went into the crowd after POS went off stage.
- Mass singalong of London's Burning, which was what King Blues come on stage to.
- Dizzee Rascal cover
- Thinking people had stage invaded during My Boulder, then hearing Itch say 'Give it up for Enter Shikari!'
- FINALLY hearing What If Punk Rock Never Happened live.
- The gig finishing by half 9.
- Scaring/confusing the hell out of Vi and Kelly by me and Bee singing and dancing to Friday Night Boys when we got off the train at Hatfield.
There probably is more, but i can't think of them at the moment...

Feeling bleh
You know the feeling when you feel undescribably happy, but then part of you just wants to crawl up somewhere and do nothing.
Not sure why i'm feeling the negative side.
Happy due to the fact that i got to talk the *strangely kinda famous* 'hoover guy' tonight, mostly about the fact he kinda creeped out Bee, who he now knows as my 'choth' friend. Then also about me not being able to pick out flowers because i'm a goth so my world is just 'black and white...No black and red'.
Then add the texts from my 'Choth' friend, and i'm all kinds of happy really.
And i get to see The King Blues tomorrow. Part of me cba, but part of me can't wait, as i've wanted to see them since GIAN in April.
Anyway, i am now off. Night internetzzz

So...
TWOA is now over.
London was AMAZING!
January can't come soon enough.
I got proposed to by 'Replacement Ryan' during Remembering Sunday.
I kept being smiled at by Alex. Think he was greatful that i lasted the whole set this time.
This week has been the best week of my life.
But no one told me i would miss them this much afterwards.

ATL Instore
So today, there was a 5:45am start. Meeting everyone at the train station at 6:30am. Lots of yawning, lots of complaining about the time of morning.
We got to Kingston (Got slightly lost) and joined the queue, before going ahead of the two girls and joining Ria. Lots of laughs and everything you'd usually expect in a queue...Apart from the amount of 10-14 year olds in the queue.
So now i'm just gonna list the highlights of the day:
- Me, Ria and Bee getting lost in John Lewis/Waitrose while trying to find the toilets.
- Finding Rian, Jack and Ryan looking VERY lost when me, Luc and Bee went to buy food. We ended up directing them back to their bus, and told them not to go near the queue as they would probably get raped.
- Ryan pretending to be a zombie and 'attacking' Jack as we took them to the venue.
- Getting to be one of the first however many into the venue and given a Hustler Club wristband, which allowed you to get to the signing after the show.
- Being on the barrier on Jacks side.
- Being given another pick by Jack...Still reckon it's because of wearing JAGK.
- Alex looking at me and smiling an awful lot. I think he remembered me from Norwich and was happy to see i was ok.
- Luc spooning with Alex during nap time.
- Getting Jack's setlist after the show.
- MEETING MATT FLYZIK! We also got to give him his other Mickey Mouse. The look on his face was adorable!
- Meeting Vinny Vegas! Ok, so i met him in Norwich, but this time he didn't seem so creeped out i knew his name, and i managed to get a photo with him as well =]
- Getting to meet All Time Low. I asked Rian if they managed to find the venue ok, and he just laughed and said yes. We gave Rian his necklace, which he really seemed to love.
- Jack looking at the poster (That he signed in Norwich) and just circling his previous signature.
- Giving Alex his new 'Homeless Man' cape.
- Waiting around with Kelly afterwards and meeting Flyzik again. Still had his Mickey with him and got him to sign my poster and get a hug. Apparently he had a huge grin on his face when i hugged him.
So yeah...I think that's everything...Probably not, but oh well.
Last ATL gig on Monday =[ Can't believe this week has almost ended, although i will remember it FOREVER!

Home from Norwich
And OMG it was amazing...Well besides fainting halfway through Remembering Sunday =[
Got to meet some amazing people, as well as people i haven't seen in months.
I got sung to by Jack during the first song, then later got given his pick XD
I also got Alex's pick, by pure luck, as it got thrown by a guy from The Audition and landed on my shoulder.
We got to see Danny and Flyzik and give them their presents. We saw Greico, but he didn't come near enough to get his.
Alex turned into Homeless Man / Lesbian Librarian Woman.
I met Vinny Vegas XD He seemed very confused when i referred to him by name at the merch stall.
But yeah, that's all i can really remember. I cba to post a huge lengthy post so i'm leaving it here.
INSTORE TOMORROW!!!

Dear Bee,
Regardless he could be the Jack to my Alex, he could still be the Jack to your Rian XD
That is all =]

Today = Win
So it was just supposed to be the normal day with Kelly and that, silently spazzing about Norwich.
Instead, Bee come over to Hatfield, which meant openly spazzing about Norwich and the day having many random laughs thrown in.
So instead of writing loads of stuff no one will find funny, i will just say that today was the most fun i've had in a while.
Also, yay for Bee FINALLY meeting her hero, 'hoover guy'. This is a guy that i know from work, who tends to wind me up at every oppurtunity. Today, he saw me paying at the checkouts so decided it would be a good idea to throw plastic witch fingers into my basket, trying to get me to buy them.
Tomorrow <3

Officially starts TWOA.
I'm travelling to Norwich with Bee and her mum to see All Time Low XD
So yeah, mebbe a spazzed out blog post tomorrow, none on Thursday and one that probably no one but Bee will find funny on Friday...Isn't that how it usually goes?
Anyway, on another note, i realised that i'm actually doing quite well at keeping this blog updated...Not really sure why. Maybe because i check it daily anyway to see if my friends have posted new blogs, so i tend to post as well...
(Also, if anyone that reads this follows me on Twitter [@BITlikeGASKANK] I apologise for the amount of updates over the next few days)

This photo...
Just shows me why i love this man so much. I miss them =[
(Bonus points to anyone who knows who it is, though it really isn't that difficult)
(If you want a clue, look at the drumkit behind him)

Is this a good reason to freak out?
So, i log in to Tumblr today, and the first thing i see is something posted by the group i follow called fuckyeahjackbarakat This is what they posted:
That is one of my photos from the Scala, the last time i saw All Time Low in August last year.
I'm not annoyed in any way, they credited me, and my Myspace is printed across that photo.
No, the reason i'm blogging about this is because i find it weird that people are finding my live photos and not only liking them, posting them on another site, where more people would see it.
I should possibly be flattered. Last July/August, one of my crappy phone photos of Laurence Rene from My Passion was used as his default and, as far as i know, is still on his Myspace somewhere.
My parents heard about this latest thing and are now encouraging me to go and take a class on Photography. This has happened many times before, and as usual, i reply with the fact that i enjoy taking photos. I don't want it to turn into something i hate.
So yeah, i'm kind of rambling now aren't i?
Sorry
I just find it kinda unreal that people like the photos i usually think are crap, or upload 'for the lols'
(Can i just add, i love that one Tumblr it was posted it on captioned it as 'Look, there’s Jack!' XD )

What's in my bag..
As promised, i am taking a 'What's in my bag' photo after a day out in London.
This is what is in my bag right now.
If you want to see exactly what is in that photo, go here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/tomorrow_girl/3956904344/

XDXDXDXDXDXDXD
As if i'm not excited enough for this week, Bee has found what she thinks is the setlist for this tour:
Lost In Stereo
Six Feet Under The Stars
Jasey Rae
Poppin' Champagne
Stella
Break Your Little Heart
Remembering Sunday
Coffee Shop Soundtrack
Party scene (Or Break Out! Break Out!)
Weightless
Damned If I Do Ya (Damned If I Don't)
Dear Maria, Count Me In
You do not know how happy this setlist makes me!
I personally think it's a nice mix of new and old, considering in the UK, Nothing Personal has only been out a week or two, which means i thought they would only play two or three new songs.
Now technically 5 days until i see them XD

So, of course i'm actually spazzing, as this time in a week, i shall be sat outside The Waterfront in Norwich, with Bee, on our 7th hour of queueing, waiting for All Time Low.
Though, even though i'm trying not to be too hyper, i also realise that in two weeks, the thing i've been looking forward to for the past two months will be over...
I guess that instead of being pessimistic, i should be happy at the fact that this time in two weeks, i will be beyond happy and probably even closer to one of my best friends.
Also, the photo at the top was taken the last time i saw ATL. It still remains one of my favourite ever live photos that i've taken.
Wednesday, 23 September 2009
I've decided...
That i'm going to do one of the 'What's in my bag?' photos.
Well two.
One this Saturday, after i've been to London with Bee, to show what is usually in my bag.
Then another the day after i see All Time Low in London, just to see what shit i will have collected in the week, due to the fact that i never clear out my bag, so there will probably be a load of random stuff.
This may be interesting...

TWOA
Is almost here!
Most of the planning is almost done. Me and Bee are going to London on Saturday to buy some the last few things we need and finish planning some stuff. We officially know what time we are heading to the venue next Thursday in Norwich (Sunrise *cries*). We know what time we are catching the train to head to Thames Street week Saturday. No doubt in the next few days, we will be sorting out the time to head to London for the final ATL gig as well.
Regardless it is now (technically, it's after midnight) a week away, i still cannot believe this is happening.
Ok, so the Kingston and London show, yeah, i can believe that.
The fact my parents are letting me to Norwich for two nights to see All Time Low? Yeah, that still shocks me.
Work is really going to be painful on the Friday. No doubt that whole week will be hell. There will be little/no sleep, so caffeine will be my new best friend.
Anyway, i'm rambling now, so i shall be leaving it here.

Meet me on Thames Street
I'll take you out
Though I'm hardly worth your time
In the cold, you look so fierce
But I'm warming up
Because the tension's like a fire
So yeah, we randomly found out earlier that the All Time Low instore isn't taking place in the actual store.
It's instead taking place in a venue called McCluskys, that is just off Thames Street.
Photos with that sign WILL be taken!
Just to look more like ATL fangirls than we already are XD
10 more days till the start of TWOA

Yay!
So Halloween is very soon.
Ok, not that soon, but it's close.
I love it. At work, we have started getting in childrens Halloween costumes. I honestly can't wait until everything starts coming in. It's my favourite holiday. I love that for one day a year, you can pretend to be someone or something else, without looking like a lunatic.
This year, i thankfully don't have to work on Halloween. I am instead going to the local youth centre thing, seeing some bands live...Should be interesting.
(Also, there is not really a reason as to why it's Mickey Mouse at the beginning of this, all i shall say is 12 more days!)

Seriously, go listen to this EP.
(Originally posted by http://www.flickr.com/photos/nicolerork/ )
Ok so most of you have probably heard of Craig Owens, he is the singer of Chiodos. But, in my opinion, his solo stuff is better, i actually love it so much. So, download it and listen to it!
(And it's available on the download site we all use, so there is no excuse not to)
It's too much to bear my darling, the weight of the world, i would carry it for you, but please don't ask me to because the, weight of the world is a burden i can't bear.
Ahh, i can't help but picture Gustav singing that to me now...
I love that song...I remember listening to it on their EP for the first time, and actually falling in love with the lyrics...
Yeah, random post...Oh and the photo = My fave photo from the Underworld XD
And on the last note, just one big I TOLD YOU SO! to anyone that went with me to see Young Guns, didn't think they would be good live and now have changed their minds Bee, i'm looking at you here.
And if anyone can tell me how to change the layout of this thing so people in my photos don't have to be turned into stick figures to fit on the page, i'd be greatful =]

Young Guns <3
Ahh they as amazing live now than as i remember them!
So tonight, i saw Young Guns and Casino Brawl.
It started with about 6 of us sat outside the Underworld. We got interviewed by a member of Deaf Havana for Metal Hammer magazine. We spoke to him about little towns, and he told us the disadvantage of being in a band. Fun times.
Inside, it was a bit busier. The first band were kinda shit, they didn't really have a good stage presence. If your bassist has to disappear for a few minutes, the singer should stand there and try and amuse the crowd, not piss of as well in my opinion.
Casino Brawl were actually REALLY good! Someone i know had told me about them ages ago, but i had never really listened to them. That is changing now. The singer made me laugh, especially with Bee and the water...
Young Guns were actually amazing. They had to cut their set short due to problems while setting up. Gustav had the thing about stroking my face again, then decided to hold my hand for a line or two of Weight Of The World (Which is my favourite Young Guns song).
But yeah, i'm leaving it there. Might upload some photos tomorrow...Maybe...
Bed time now though, work tomorrow morning ¬_¬

As well as Vi, for the first time in over a week, which is now actually quite a long time really...
And Kelly and Bee as well, of course.
Hopefully i will end up with more photos from today than i did from Saturday. Actually quite disappointed at the lack of photos considering who i was with and who i was seeing live...
And someone help fill up my calendar after today? Regardless i'm only going to have £20 to live off of for the next week and a half...Whoops.

Man, I see in fight club the strongest and smartest men who've ever lived. I see all this potential, and I see squandering. God damn it, an entire generation pumping gas, waiting tables; slaves with white collars. Advertising has us chasing cars and clothes, working jobs we hate so we can buy shit we don't need. We're the middle children of history, man. No purpose or place. We have no Great War. No Great Depression. Our Great War's a spiritual war... our Great Depression is our lives. We've all been raised on television to believe that one day we'd all be millionaires, and movie gods, and rock stars. But we won't. And we're slowly learning that fact. And we're very, very pissed off.
Fight Club is one of my favourite films, and Brad Pitt and Edward Norton's acting just makes it that much more memorable.
The quote at the beginning of this post was spoken by Brad Pitt, who plays Tyler Durden.
I honestly believe everyone should either see this film or, even better, read the book by the genius that is Chuck Palahniuk.
I've only seen this film around five times, yet i could quote almost half of it. You hear the unnamed main character and Tyler Durden discussing things like sex, money and jobs. You listen to it, and you realise how true the words are.
Yeah, i'm leaving it there for now. Don't ask me what made me post this, i honestly don't know...Maybe it's my subconcious telling me i need to watch/read this again.
3 more weeks!

So..
I was gonna write a blog about what happened yesterday, but to be quite honest, if you want to know what happened, go onto Vi or Bee's blog (You'll see them in the people i follow...If not, Bee follows me and should be to the side of this)
Anyway, i'm tired and in pain. My voice is almost completely gone.
And on one last side note: I MET YOUNG GUNS!!!
If you talk to me often enough, you would know that i have loved them since i saw them at the beginning of June and yesterday was the first chance i got to meet them. Gustav's hair made literally lol, but they're all so nice and cute, i can't wait to see them live again.
I also apologise for any over-excited posts leading up to the weekend, because i found out that as well as seeing Jump The Lights on Saturday, i get to see Kate Is The Decoy as well!!! Happy times!!

Someone please just let me fast forward the rest of this month...After the 14th anyway.
And as an added note, i shouldn't be awake right now! Have to be up at 6:45am to get the train to london at 7:53am to go to the Blackout video shoot...

I can't wait for the next two weekends
So this weekend, i'm making myself wake up at 6:45am (*Cries*) to go to London (My favourite place in the world, in case you hadn't noticed) then sitting outside of Islington Academy till 12pm.
Why you ask?
My favourite Welsh band, The Blackout, are filming a video for their song 'This is why we can't have nice things' and, instead of sticking to our normal plans of going to the cinema, me and my lovely friends figured we would instead go and be a part of the video!
6 hours of standing in a crowd, watching a 'gig', with some of my best friends. Couldn't ask for more to be quite honest.
Then after the video shoot has finished, we are heading to Camden to go to the Diner to celebrate Vi's birthday, which is the day after.
But hopefully, the weekend after will be even better. Travelling to Hitchin, to see my one of my fave local bands, Jump The Lights. I haven't seen them since June, which is a ridiculously long amount of time, as we were seeing them every other week at the beginning of the year.
(Also, my dad and my brother go away for a week, leaving me and my mum alone in the house XD)
Then, on that Monday, i get to see Young Guns, a band i have been wanting to see live again since the beginning of June, when i saw them supporting Aiden at the Camden Barfly.
I love my life right now XD

So take my life I'll hand it to you
And you can try on my clothes
But you can't fill these shoes
On a silver platter
Your wish came true
So your heart of gold turned platinum
You can take my life
But you can't take it with you
This time in 29 days, i shall be sat outside some random venue in Norwich, with one of my best friends, waiting to see one of the bands that mean a ridiculous amount to me.
Honestly, no one knows how excited i am for this!
The only downside is what i have been told about the part of Norwich we are going to be sat in lol.
Wednesday, 26 August 2009
17 today XD
Yet it's just another normal day for me...
That involves a pink cake...
Quite happy i'm not at work tonight now. Going to someone elses birthday party, but i'm getting to see most of my friends, so i shouldn't complain at all.
Expect to see loads of photos tomorrow XD

XD
I'm actually really looking forward to this week.
Tomorrow, i'm off to Hitchin with Vi and Clara to meet Bee and then go to the Exit Avenue video shoot. Not sure what to expect, but with those three, i'll have fun either way...And the video sounds like All Time Low's video for Six Feet Under The Stars, so it should be fun to see being filmed.
On Tuesday, i'm having a 'family day' for my birthday, because it's my birthday on Wednesday, and i'm going out XD
Then on Wednesday, i turn 17 and am going to a friends party in Hitchin. I honestly can't wait. Loads of my friends are going, including one that i haven't seen since July last year!
I'm curious as to how many people will say Happy Birthday to me without me mentioning it first...My bet is about 4, not including the people i'm close to that are going
Tomorrow, i'm off to Hitchin with Vi and Clara to meet Bee and then go to the Exit Avenue video shoot. Not sure what to expect, but with those three, i'll have fun either way...And the video sounds like All Time Low's video for Six Feet Under The Stars, so it should be fun to see being filmed.
On Tuesday, i'm having a 'family day' for my birthday, because it's my birthday on Wednesday, and i'm going out XD

This photo:
Has been making me smile all day.
It's Solomon Olds (Or Soul Glow Activatur) from Family Force 5, wearing my friend Kelly's pink cat ears. I took it last night, after their gig, and after our discussion about Jeffree Star and his accent.
I wanna see them again =[
Technically 40 days till Norwich!
I honestly can't wait

I'm officially in love...
With Family Force 5.
Yesterday, i saw them live for the first time. The only reason i went was because My Passion were supporting them, but i decided to stay in the crowd for FF5 anyway.
BEST DECISION EVER!!!
My legs are covered in bruises. My elbows are bruised from the monitors. I have no voice left.
Yet i've never been happier.
Also got to meet 4/5 of them, including Solomon (Or Soul Glow Activatur) who is now one of my favourite people! Me, Bee and Kelly were stood with him, discussing his accent and what word you use when talking about Jeffree Star (We agreed on the word 'Strange')
I didn't really get to talk to the boys in My Passion =[ Though i saw Simon on my way out of the venue and he was saying how he was gonna say hi, but only saw me when they were on stage so he couldn't.
Also got to see The Blackout again. Making Sean Smith talk chav in a Welsh accent is the best thing ever! And Rhys with the 'You're not allowed a hug, you have to pick me up' thing...No guy over the age of 10 should be that light!
But yeah, i'm thinking of posting a few of my photos on here in a bit, but i need to upload them all first anyway...Either way, the photo of Solomon wearing the pink cat ears will be put on here.

43 days!
Until i go to Norwich
And see these amazing people:

God i've just realised i've just used this thing like Twitter...

In 9 days...
I turn 17.
Not really a huge turning point for me, i've barely noticed a difference in my life being 16 besides the fact i now have a job and don't have to go to school.
Anyway, in two days (Well technically tomorrow as it is after midnight now) i get to see the lovely boys who make up the band My Passion again.
They are luckily a local band for me, and in the three years i have been a fan, i have seen them over 20 times and counting.
I'll admit now, as much as i love them, it's weird seeing them get all this attention all of a sudden. Don't get me wrong, they totally deserve it, yet it is weird to see them being the newest Kerrang! darlings.
But i honestly can't wait to see them again. They are supporting Family Force 5 at the Camden Underworld, a week before my birthday, and i get to see them with some of my best friends, one of which hasn't seen them since February 08!
Anyway, i shall stop rambling now and possibly go to bed, getting the sleep i so desperately need right now.

I'm so happy right now
So tomorrow, i get to see Bee, Vi, Georgina and Emma. We're going rollerskating and apparently to Hummingbird. (Hummingbird is this bakery in London where they sell the BEST! cupcakes ever)
Part of me is dreading the rollerskating. I've never done it before, so i'm expecting to come home covered in bruises.
Another reason i'm happy is the period of time, now known as the 'Epic two weeks' by me and Bee. It's taking place between the 30th September and the 9th October.
This is the reason it is so epic:
30/09 - Going to Norwich with Bee and her mum
01/10 - Seeing All Time Low at the Waterfront with Bee
02/10 - Coming home from Norwich
05/10 - Seeing All Time Low in London with Bee, Emma, Sarah, Kelly and every other person i know going
09/10 - Seeing The King Blues in London with Bee and Vi
I can't wait!
47 days!

So...
I'm not sure why i entirely decided to make a profile here on Blogspot. I did have a livejournal that i promised to keep updated, yet that has spectacuarly failed...Did i even spell that right?
Anyway, i figured on here, i would post my random ramblings, good memories, concert experiences and anything else that comes to mind.
So, if you're reading this, Hi =]
Hopefully i will keep this updated as best i can.
