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.

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

Because of these guys:
I have travelled all over England.
I have done things i said i'd never do.
I have grown closer to some old friends.
I have lost some of those friends.
I have a gained a huge number of new ones.
I have spent large amounts of money i didn't really have to see them live just one more time.
I have passed out at a gig.
I have been sat on the street in the pouring rain.
Because of these guys, i am travelling to Boston.
And no, i do not mean the Boston up in Lincolnshire.
I mean Massachusetts.
As in AMERICA.
Yes, i am stupid.
No, i can't afford this.
But you have no idea how much i miss these guys right now.
Also, All Time Low, Simple Plan and Good Charlotte playing together?
That line up right there is like a dream come true for me.

So.
I'm home from Florida
Well ok, i got home yesterday, but i only checked a few things and unpacked before Bee came over and we caught up and speculated and spazzed and then i fell asleep as i'd been awake for like 31 hours by that point.
I'm glad to be home though. I mean, i loved Florida and i had fun, but i really cannot live without my phone!
Two weeks with no texting and no internet
I only spoke to Georgina for less than an hour in a whole fortnight!
I did speak to Bee a bit more than that, which means my phone bill will be ridiculous
Also, yesterday made me realise who really actually cared about me nowadays.
I would care, but i don't really. Oh well.
Anyway, i met Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse, Buzz Lightyear, Woody (Twice..I spazzed both times, i don't care that it's just a man in a suit), Jessie, Pinnochio, Green Army Man, Scooby Doo and Shaggy, the Simpsons and Elwood Blues (If you are like WTF at that last name, look it up then watch the film he's from and become educated!)
I went to Mardi Gras twice and developed then overcome a fear of half naked men on stilts (They were like 2 foot taller than me and one kept trying to convince me to dance!)
I spent around $1000 (Which is a bit under £700)
I have 617 photos on my computer to go through
I still have to go find my Mickey Mouse photo and save it to my computer
Yeah, that's pretty much the important stuff

Kerrang! Tour London Day 2 Part 2
So this is the journey to Camden/the main show
Highlights:
- MIND THE GAP!
- "Jack looks satisfied"
- Allie becoming known as Edgeware and laughing at the whole Edgeware thing
- Literally crying with laughter
- Standing outside the Roundhouse and writing on the flag
- Getting our photo taken of us writing on it by some random guy
- Flyzik getting security to let us stand inside instead of out in the cold
- When realising we'd all had M&G before, Flyzik told us that he wouldn't be giving us the speech, which we were all disappointed about =[
- Colussy giving us the speech instead when he come and got us
- Gatecrashing the photoshoot
- "My Passion look like they're about to go to a wedding"
- Talking to Zack and getting 'Photo #19' with him
- Talking to Matt properly for a bit. He told us that the balloon got killed by the band for the helium and that the Mickey is gonna have to have it's own bunk because it's so big lol
- Talking to Rian about the tour and telling him he wasn't allowed the football until he'd finished getting photos with everyone
- Learning Jacks 'secret' and him threatening to come to our house and kill us if he saw it anywhere on the internet, as he knows it would be us that put it on something. Think his exact words were "No putting it on message boards, cause i'll know it's you guys!"
- Telling Jack not to give me attention at the show, cause i keep getting raped by fangirls if he does.
- Game of football between Zack, Rian, Colussy, Sean, Flyzik, Vinny and some fans.
- Allie recording the game (I'll post it on here when she uploads it)
- Trying to get my football back. Zack was the only one nice enough to actually throw it to me lol

- Young Guns having a chant! That will forever be a highlight
- Being Gus' favourite again. (In Bee's words, we were his favourite for the 'lunge-and-point' move)
- The dry ice!
- Unwanted attention from Sean during We're Going To Hell
- Danny dancing during Lost In Stereo
- Jake The Turtle being thrown up. Jack left it on the floor, so Colussy grabbed it and threw it to Danny, who put on the guitar stand
- The bras being thrown up
- Bee literally playing Jasey Rae. Jack come down, gave her his pick, then told her to strum his guitar so she was actually playing Jasey Rae to a crowd of 3000 people
- Shouting at Bee that i hate Jack, him hearing me and smiling, so i screamed it at him and he just laughed.
- Dancing on the barrier to Poppin' Champagne and security finding it highly amusing
- Singing the 'real' version of Remembering Sunday
- Stage invasion during Dear Maria
- Asking Flyzik to pass me Jacks setlist, and him looking genuinely pissed off when about 5 girls tried grabbing it as he passed me it
- Getting to say hi to Ben from Young Guns for the first time this tour
So that's it.
5 cities. 6 shows. 6 Meet & Greets.
Laughter. Tears. Many things i will never forget.
Anyone who was a part of it, i love you all.

- Rian and Alex finding it hilarious we were getting the tube back to Camden, and not realising why until Rian asked us to say 'toob' and we kept saying it 'choob'
- Being told by Danny we needed to go cause we were holding everyone up. Rians fault.
Right so that's it for the instore.

Kerrang! Tour London. Day 1
So, before i post all the highlights, i just want to say this.
To everyone that i have been with this weekend, no matter how brief, i love you so much. It's an overused statement, but the past 2 days have literally been the best of my life.
Not only have i been able to see one of my favourite bands live 3 times in 2 days, i have met them 4 times and got to meet what are some of my new 'family' because of them.
So yeah, highlights:

- Seeing Jo and Becky
- Seeing Sarah and Georgina
- Heading into Camden about half an hour later than we said because we started talking to Sami
- Heading up to the Roundhouse and seeing a very lost Colussy pass us with two suitcases
- Getting back to the Roundhouse then almost being run over by Sean Smith. Wouldn't usually be a highlight, but he was on a Segway, so...
- Watching Sean literally get chased
- "Is that Jeff?...No, wait, it's a hobo"
- Jammie Dodger!
- Seeing Bob and Gav on the Segways
- Giving Gav the Darth Vader head i got him
- "That's badass. It's gonna be the new ornament on my Segway."
- Going back to the hotel for a bit
- Finding out My Passion had shredded their tire, so were gonna be late/not playing

- Meeting Jess and Roisin

- Trying to get me to record something, but i refused
- Jess saying something in German
- "Is it rude?" "Kind of" "I'll pretend i didn't know"
- Happy when we saw Flyzik, but then just telling us we'd be another 10 minutes ¬_¬
- The speech!
- Being led to the main room of the venue.
- Once my football had been stolen and the band were busy, deciding to talk to Vinny
- Giving him one of the other Darth Vader heads. He kinda freaked out.
- Waiting to get photos, but he wouldn't stop playing with the thing.
- Proper game of football being started by Rian, Zack, Vinny, Colussy, Flyzik and even Sean Smith
- "It's Vinnys first football!"
- Alex running away when Bee mentioned she was sick
- Asking Flyzik the reason for us freaking out earlier. He then showed us a list of our names and emails on a list for EE to the instore...On his Blackberry. It was weird!
- Giving him the Mickey Allie wanted to give him in Brum and apologising for the state it was in, but being told it didn't matter cause it was going on tour and would get wrecked anyway.
- Watching Jess teach Jack (And Colussy, who was lurking) German
- Telling Colussy we wanted a photo with him, cause we hate ATL
- Watching Jet Black ¬_¬
- The guy in front of us looking like Zack...But uglier
- Gus singing to us for most their set.
- Bee's arm being about one inch to short
- Watching Hustlers get pulled out =[

- Agreeing with Bee and Jess that if a member of a band decides to stand on the barrier in front of us, they either got punched in the dick or their trousers pulled down.
- Surviving the Blackout!
- Bob being happy
- (Not sure why Bee wrote this) Woop woop, that's the sound of da police

- Fireworks and dry ice!
- Don't trust me being played between bands (Or 'Don't trust Grieco')
- Jess and Bee drumming along to the ATL intro
- Worrying about Jacks attention. The elbows weren't nice.
- Cumming jokes
- Bee getting told to fuck herself for laughing at Jack
- Luc being pulled onstage then being handcuffed to Alex for the beginning of Weightless
- Getting Jacks picks again
- Going back to the hotel briefly then going back outside to wait for the band
- Meeting Jack again
- Telling him i hate him for throwing a pick at me and getting molested by fangirls for it
- "There's no camera, we're just hugging" "I better hug you tighter then"
- Zack telling us he showered
- Getting better photos with Zack. We later realised that Bee got photobombed my Colussy!
- Running into Louise and chatting for a bit
- Seeing the MP lot briefly and getting quick hugs off Andy
Right, so that's it for the first one.
The Instore blog is next, which will probably be shorter cause it was a shorter gig really.

Lets take a moment to reflect,
On the past few years of my life,
I haven't worked myself away,
to stay inside.
This is the time to let us...
Break out, break out,
as we escape through the windows,
head for the car, and never look back, singing-singing,
"Break out, break out,
Our time has come and we've got these big city dreams."
(Those lyrics have nothing to do with this blog really)
So today i log onto Facebook and find out someone i know is going to Kerrang! Tour today...Well earlier today/yesterday, whatever.
She was updating throughout the day, which i didn't mind. Until i saw two updates.
The first was 'OMG JUST MET MY PASSION THEY'RE HOT'
Sorry, but just no! I can deal with them having new, scary fangirls, but My Passion being called hot is just wrong on so many levels! I mean, seriously?!
But she REALLY blew it when she updated with 'ALL TIME LOW JUST WALKED STRAIGHT PAST THEIR FANS WITHOUT STOPPING WHAT KNOBHEADS'
Now if you saw me at their show at the Electric Ballroom in October, you will know that i spent about an hour defending just Alex to two girls who had the same viewpoint on him.
I'm very defensive when it comes to my favourite bands, and with All Time Low it's about a hundred times worst cause out of all of my favourite bands, they seem to have the worst reputation.
I'm very...Protective (Not sure i that's the right word) of All Time Low and seeing people say that about them without actually properly meeting them literally breaks my heart.
After every K! Tour show so far, they have been out meeting the fans.
I've been lucky enough to meet them before the shows as part of their fan club, and they are some of the nicest guys you could ever have the oppurtunity to meet!
I'm not afraid to say that if you ever shit talk ATL to me, i will stand there and defend them until you prove me otherwise.
Simple as.
Sounds stupid, but it's completely true.
Can i also point out that this is the only place i vent/rant about stuff.
THIS IS WHERE I STOP BEING RIAN! As Bee would put it.

Right, so
Remember how a few weeks ago i said how one of my best friends made my day by telling me i remind her of Rian Dawson?
Well earlier today, i got compared to someone like that again. Not Rian but Matt Flyzik
(Yeah, i chose what is probably the nerdiest photo of him ever)
So yeah, it started as my friend telling me about some dream she had, which involved me and Flyzik being friends. Later in the day, she told me it meant that we remind her of each other. The reasons we remind her of each other? We both like Disney and we're both to nice. My other friend agreed and told me her reasons were 'because you like disney and are both awesome and probably too nice for your own good
Yeah, this is a random and very pointless blog, but that's the best thing ever!
If you've ever heard me talk about All Time Low, you'll probably know that i love the crew possibly more than the band and also that i'm a bit of a fangirl over Flyzik...Seriously
But yeah. No point. It's late. I'm half asleep. This probably made no sense. I have no idea why i'm talking in small sentences. Good night.

Something i've been thinking about
So on Saturday, as most people know by now, i watched my second All Time Low set of Kerrang! Tour from the side/back.
During this set, i couldn't stop smiling.
Yes, part of it was due to the fact that earlier in the day, my favourite band had recognised me.
Part of it was due to the fact i was watching that band on stage.
But i realise now that another part of me was proud of them.
Now i realise that doesn't sound to weird, and i realise it doesn't.
But watching Jack, i felt proud of them in the way that you would be proud of them if it was your friends band.
Now that, THAT sounds weird.
I was proud of them the way that i'm proud of My Passion on this tour. All Time Low weren't 4 guys i don't know and have only seen a few times. They were a band i've watched grow over the past few years.
I'm still not sure why i felt that way during their set and i seriously wish i did.
I know that this blog also makes me sound kinda stupid and makes pretty much no sense, but i really don't care. I just thought the whole situation would make more sense if i got it out of my head.
Unfortunately it doesn't

Maybe it's not my weekend, but it's gonna be my year [Birmingham K! Tour]
Honestly, that lyric could not be more suitable for this weekend really.

- Going back to the venue after buying an arm full of Subways
- Going back to the shopping centre a while later with the Hustlers and Luc

A bit of an add-on to the last blog
.JPG)
I looked at the photo i posted in the last blog, and i looked at this photo.
I realised how much more...Relaxed ATL seem to be.
The first one is kinda your average 'band with fan' photo.
The second kinda shows them being themselves that tiny bit more.
It may be because we didn't exactly have enough room in the second photo.
Am i the only one that sees it?
Also, i love that Alex does the hand sign that you'd only truly understand if you were in Southampton. We were the only people in Bristol that knew what it meant.
Random post
.JPG)
Every time i see this photo (Which is often as it's my laptop background) i actually just stop for a minute.
It still hasn't sunk in that not only have i met All Time Low properly, i met them twice! In two days! And i'm still meeting them a minimum of three more times!
I know i paid £30 to join their fan club just to get this, when i could have met them for free if i waited around the venue for a little while.
But being able to have a proper conversation with these guys and see how genuine they really are...I realise how lucky i am. I've been a fan of All Time Low for 2 and a half years or so now, and they pretty much became my favourite band overnight.
25/01/10 - 26/01/10 have easily been the best nights of my life so far.
I have no doubt that the last few K! tour dates will match it
XD
So first off, i'd like to apologise for the amount of blog posts over the past few days.
I'm not really sure why i've posted so many, yet no doubt Kerrang! Tour has something to do with it...Actually it just does.
Anyway...
Today is my last day of normality and tomorrow i am off to Birmingham for yet another K! Tour date.
Also get to meet two of the Hustlers for the first time XD
Ahhh can't wait!

Name change again
So over the past week or so, these lyrics have become such true words.
So it's suitable that this is the name of my blog.
Especially with what has happened over the past few days and what is going to happen over the next week or so.
Filler blog FTW
Stay awake
Get a grip and get out your safe
From the weight of the world just take
A second to set things straight
I'll be fine
Even though i'm not always right
I can count on the sun to shine
Dedication takes a lifetime
But dreams only last for a night

Kerrang! Tour - Bristol

- Getting our tickets scanned then being led into the main room by Flyzik, where we stood watching My Passion soundcheck as Jack was still on the bus.

- Saying how we needed the knife Rian offered us in Southampton because of the Blackout fans AKA the Dickhead

- Vinny coming up the stairs and admitting he thought me and Bee were crew.

- Stealing water off Andy when the bar wouldn't give us any and Andy was there
- Deciding we didn't want to buy merch because Vinny wasn't there

Filler post
Southampton and Bristol are done.
Been home almost two hours, and done absoleutly nothing.
Have the biggest smile in the world on my face.
Laughing everytime i see a bottle of water.
My mum has stuff that looks like granola bars.
And, regardless how much i say it, i love All Time Low more than physically possible! I'm not even kidding.
And Matt Flyzik...Words cannot describe how amazing that man is.
Expect a proper lengthy blog post tonight.

Tomorrow
Unfortunately, i have work till 4 =[
But then, i get to travel to Southampton with my best friend and her mum, ready for Monday, which is our first date of Kerrang! Tour.
Honestly can't believe that in 48 hours time, i would have seen All Time Low for the first time this year, as well as meeting them and seeing 3 of my favourite British bands.
I really can't wait! Unless you've seen me at some point today, you have no idea how excited i am!
So yeah, expect a lengthy blog on Wednesday night/Thursday morning.
To people that follow me on Twitter (@1In69Bro) i apologise now for the ridiculous amount of tweets over the next few days. Twitter is the only thing i can actually use properly on my phone

Everything just got a lot more real
That is my e-mail inbox right now
I know i've been spazzing bout the M&Gs for a while, and i know i've had them for about a week or so now, but getting the e-mails telling me how early i'm going in and what time i need to be at the venue by...It has made me realise that this is REALLY gonna happen. In 5 days. In Southampton. With my best friend.
And now, because Ria isn't going, in Bristol and Southampton, the M&Gs will literally just be me and Bee.
Bee has actually just described this situation in the best way:
it still feels like one of these crazy plans we've made
like i'm excited for it but it's not going to happen
It just seems so surreal. I'm getting a definite 5 chances to meet one of my favourite bands.
Also, can i add that as much as i love My Passion, Young Guns OWNED last night

XD
No matter what their name is, they will always be Sonic 21
(And yeah, random video post...Still not sure why Jonni linked me to it lol)

My goals for 2010
So i know we're more than halfway through January now, but i figured that i wanted to make a list of the stuff i actually want to achieve this year. So yeah, not much point to this blog really but meh, when do my blogs have a point?
1. Get better at saving money.
2. Stop spending so much money on All Time Low.
3. See Kate Is The Decoy more. I miss them too much =[
4. Figure out which friends are actually worth keeping, and get rid of the ones who aren't.
5. Meet all the Hustlers i talk to!
6. Spend more time in London with the friends that live there.
7. Actually go to Loughton to see Georgina!
8. Travel the country.
9. Spend more time on things other than work and gigs.
10. Do something productive with my days off instead of sitting at home, on the internet, doing nothing.
11. Stop buying more than one copy of the same cd just for the added bonuses.
12. Stop being so nice.
So yeah, that's mine for the moment.
No doubt more will be added over the next week or so.
Anyone who's reading this, what are your goals for 2010?

Just wow
So i'm a bit late posting this blog really.
Earlier today, i walked out of work at lunch, checked Twitter and first heard about the 'Alex Gaskarth stalker'. I found a link to a Tumblr page and read the story.
Seriously, i read it and though 'What the fuck?'
I know i joke about stalking band members, but really, who BUYS their address, goes to their house, waits for three hours (Killing time taking photos of the inside of their house to get photos of their dogs) then knocks on the door when they turn up, after seeing their girlfriend for the first time in about a week or so, just to get a few photos!
I can't believe someone would be low enough to do that!
All of ATL try so hard to meet every fan at every show, so why not wait to meet them there? Why resort to driving to their house and creeping the shit out of them?
I really hope that this doesn't affect the way that ATL, or even just Alex, reacts to fans. One person shouldn't ruin it for everyone else.

As if i wasn't excited enough for Kerrang! Tour
Right so tonight, i was at work.
Bored.
Got sent home an hour early.
Got home, started to microwave my dinner.
Heard my phone go off, didn't get to it in time, had a missed call from Bee.
Tried phoning her back, wouldn't let me.
Finally got to phone her back and had her spazzing on the other end.
Got told i got All Time Low meet & greets for all 5 dates!!!
Not only that, but for Southampton and Bristol, it is only me, Bee and our friend Ria!!!
Three of us. In a room. With our favourite band!
SPAZ MUCH?!?!?!?!?!?!
I feel sorry for Ria though, she goes to Norwich the next day and it's only her!
But yeah, i don't care how awkward it is gonna be just being us three in front of four of my heroes.
I don't care that All Time Low are getting a lot of shit because they're letting fans do this.
I don't care that a lot of people probably hate me right now.
I don't care that i'm probably going to embarass myself (yet again) in front of my favourite band.
This tour will be the best 5 days of my life!

In under a week...
I've seriously gained a third family.
Of course, my family and my bros are the already existing families.
My friends...They're like extended family.
The Hustlers are my new family.
This time last week, i was just a Hustler who had never posted on the boards, cause i had heard nothing but bad stuff about them.
Now, we have OPERATION CIRLCES, official merchandise for that, realise we actually all hate All Time Low, that we love All Time Blow and, most importantly, we've started organising a meet-up in the Summer.
Right now, we've made sure that Robbie knows he's sleeping in the bath, due to the fact he will be the most drunk. Me and Jess are gonna be the only two sober ones and shall be drawing on everyone else once they've passed out.
I never thought i'd grow this close to a group of people i've never met in such a short amount of time.
27 days

Till i see these guys again.
I can't wait to see them!
And, even though i don't mention it, i can't wait to see Zack again!
I'm still annoyed i never got to see him on the last tour. I mean, i love Ryan Ogren, but he's just not Zack...He's too loud for one XD
This is gonna be the highlight of my year, no doubt, if not for the shows for the people i'm gonna be with.

I love:
1. YMCA Twitter singalongs with three Hustlers.
2. Planning even more stuff for the 6th February
3. Talking about the M&G's we might not even get yet.
4. The fact that Harold And Kumar is on tv.
5. MY. FUCKING. LIFE!

Some information people seem to forget or don't know about the Hustler club
Ok, this isn't anything against certain people, but i just want to fill in some people on stuff that they may not know about The Hustler Club.
I've seen loads of people freaking out because OMG ATL ARE LETTING IN 90 FANS EARLY!!!1one!!!
I just want to tell everyone this:
All Time Low are letting in 45 fans. Not 90. Yes in America they let in 90, but that is 45 for Early Entry and 45 for Meet And Greet. Over here, they are only allowing Meet And Greet, so there will only be 45.
Next thing, there isn't even that many Hustlers in the whole of Europe! There will be about 10 people max at every date that get M&G.
One of the main points: Every English Hustler has paid £30 for this.
Can you tell me that you wouldn't pay £30 for a definite chance to meet your favourite band? A band that have changed your life? A band that don't tour the UK very often? A band that you could sometimes have to wait hours in the cold to talk to for under 5 minutes, while every other girl in the area is fighting for their attention?
All Time Low aren't giving this out for free.
Ok, so some people might read this and think it's aimed at them.
It really isn't.
I really have seen about 10+ people freaking out because they feel like they won't get anywhere near the front because All Time Low have given something out for free.
So please, regardless it is a term this band use as a joke, this blog really is Nothing Personal.
I just want people to know the details of this.
EDIT:
Before anyone starts shit, if you really wanna know how many people are going to your K! tour dates, just ask. I can tell you the amount of Hustlers that i know of that are going to your date.

I'm in love...
With a group of girls and one guy.
The THC
Or the All Time Low Hustlers!
So i joined on New Years Eve, then last night decided to start posting on the boards, mainly on the K! tour thread.
Less than 24 hours later, i have 5 (or more, not really sure) more friends that i shall be seeing either over the next month or HOPEFULLY in the Summer.
Operation Circles is go!
Complete with official merchandise now as well!
But the instore will be amazing.
We will be meeting with most the Hustlers, helping out the lost ones, then queueing in probably freezing temperatures for All Time Low acoustic set.
But yeah, major love to the Hustlers for making my night so much better and getting me hyped up even more for Kerrang Tour
Apologies that this blog kinda is just about 10 random points that are only slightly related

I adore Mickey Mouse thanks to somebody in particular. He reminds me of being a child again.
So yeah, i did steal that from my friends blog, but reading that about him made me smile a bigger smile than when i found out i'm going to see All Time Low play an acoustic set.
And that was a big fucking smile!
The guy being referenced is one of the three people i'm most excited to see on Kerrang tour apart from my friends.

25 things
Ok, so i'm stealing this idea from Facebook. The idea is to write down 25 random things, facts, habits and goals about yourself. So yeah, this is 25 random facts about me. Some are quite obvious, some aren't.
This will probably be posted on Facebook, but this will be the 'uncensored' version as my parents are on my Facebook so will see that on there.
1. My goal in 2010 is to meet Danny Kurily.
2. I am more excited about seeing All Time Low in 3 weeks than i am about going to Florida in 5.
3. No matter how much i talk about All Time Low, Simple Plan will always mean the most to me.
4. I've noticed recently that my closest friends change on a yearly basis.
5. I'm scared of what the future holds.
6. The people i met in 2009 mean more to me than they may think.
7. 29th November 2008 was the best day of my life, no questions.
8. I still turn into a proper fangirl over David Desrosiers.
9. I can quote over half of Fight Club.
10. My new years resolution was to not go to as many gigs.
11. I'm going to 6 before i even go on holiday on the 8th February.
12. With Kerrang tour, even though i'm looking forward to seeing the bands, i'm more looking forward to travelling to strange towns with one of my best friends.
13. I always miss my friends more than anything in the world.
14. Regardless the best day of my life took place in 2008, 2009 was the best year of my life.
15. UB40 and Madness are the bands i remember listening to when i was a kid. They are my parents favourite bands and even i still enjoy their music.
16. I don't think of that band like i used to.
17. I would love to spend my 18th birthday and Reading and Leeds, but i know it won't happen.
18. I still owe my mum huge amounts for the fact that she took me to Nottingham, on Valentines day and when i was REALLY ill just because i wanted to see Simple Plan live.
19. I still have a ticket on my bedroom wall from that Simple Plan show signed by their old merch guy, Patrick Langlois.
20. And i remember my mum asking him to sign the ticket because i was to shy.
21. I need to learn to stop being so nice.
22. Good Charlotte are still one of the biggest influences to me.
23. I hate that Buzz Lightyear has more merchandise than Woody
24. I blame Matt Flyzik for the suddenly reappearing obsession with Mickey Mouse
25. I love the fact that i have met all my heroes before i've turned 18.
Ok, that is seriously REALLY hard. I kinda just put random crap in most of those things
