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.
