it's a really awesome song, rediscovering some stuff i haven't listened to in a while on this lazy day of mine and it's feels good. a skylit drive, dance gavin dance, circa survive and chiodos to name a few. started to get well into pierce the veil as well (thanks steffen) :D

all these bitter people complaining about the reading line-up being shit or whatever but i’ve found it pretty good the last couple of years - even though i’ve only been to ‘09. you don’t go to be watching bands constantly anyway, plus you’re unlikely to know every band on there.. so go open minded, stop pissing on my bonfire ‘cos i’m absolutely ecstatic about b182 headlining this year. people who know know know me understand that i’ve been waiting half my life to see them live. other bands i’m excited to see are paramore, billy talent, all time low, gnr, dizzee, pendulum, nofx and enter shikari.. 4 of which i’ve seen before and i can’t remember having a bad time! other people i am looking fwd to seeing but i don’t really know arrrrre weezer, cypress hill, maccabees, cribs, and band of horses. there ya go, see you there my friends xx

CHEERIO!

holly’s leaving drinks thing..

1hr on the district line to richmond and to the lot! second time i’ve ever been there and it was about 10x as busy as last time. why was EVERYONE there last night? people i haven’t seen in years, pretty cool though. discovered strawberry cider, was so nice, just tasted like a fruity juice hah. enjoyed/didn’t enjoy watching holly get more and more drunk and completely gone before 11:30pm.. enjoyed cos honest i was really funny, didn’t enjoy her giving me the finger when i asked if she felt better. also shouting ‘NO! I LOVE YOU, BUT THAT’S NOT THE POINT’ when i asked whether she wanted to go to the bathroom to chill for a bit. not really sure what this point was she was talking about.

was a bit freaked out on the way to steph’s by simone constantly saying ‘fine ass pussy’ for absolutely no reason at all. s’alright, i said i’d slap him if he said it one more time, he tried me and i followed through. sweet! stayed up chatting with steph about everyone and life and shit and shit for a bunch o hours before drifting off to sleep. got up, tube again and back in the east now, ruth is not home even though she said she was, not much food left, just dried mango.. some ramen noodles, an apple or two and ferrero rochers. someone buy me some real food. might go and try conquer paparazzi on keyboard now..

keep cool xx

friday night, dean's birthday flat party thing. basically.. was good and felt so rough at the end. don't have much to say about it really, was a good night, some good chats and dances and etctc, met some neat new people, blah blah blah. didn't sleep all night, standardly, went home at 1:30ish the next day and instead of sleeping just sorta bummed around for a few hours.

then saturday night was THE SKINTS

at borderline. sorta felt like i wanted to die the whole night due to lack of sleep, appetite was also completely gone (went to macdonalds pre-borderline, would normally inhale a meal deal but ate a couple of chips and threw the rest away - never happens). didn't do much for the 3 support bands: dirty revolution, anti-vigilante and i think mouthwash were there again too. what i found strange were the groups of people there who genuinely physically looked about 12 or 13. i mean, i am judging 100% on appearance as they were also dressed in the sorta h&m stuff i used to wear in year 7.. but a few of them looked very out of place. managed to pick myself up for the skints set, still dying at stood to the left side of the stage with rosie and izzy who were keeping me company during my downer, whilst steph and holly were off at the front dancing their asses off. set wo awesome as usual, getting people moving, including the teeny bopper gothic chick in front of me who was sorta grinding with herself, didn't really know what was going on there. wasn't really right in the head to be dancing but i got myself moving for channel and bright girl, couple of headbangs there for the mid bit of contemplations are always necessary. would loved to have joined the pit but probably would have passed out. people in the crowd sung back every word, was pretty surreal.. can't begin to imagine what the band were feeling. especially for murderer which is one of the more well known tracks of the album.

when the set finished, the crowd and i chanted for an encore song.. and our demands were met with sociopath. (i never understood why sociopath isn't played normally, i've been to a bunch of skints shows to this date and sociopath hasn't been played once that i can remember. maybe this will be something that is changed in future since everyone seemed to want sociopath to be played and everyone went mental for it). kids jumping onto stage, completely lost jamie k and jonathan d for a bit.. marcia r was arm in arm with some guy wearing a penny-tee.. joshua wr was pushed to the back as people took over aha. think something happened to his guitar at one point as well, oops. was just a crazy end to a wicked set. we've been told some new material might be on its way but for the next few months the skints will be in europe so might not be seeing them again for a while. however, i've been informed about some reggae and apparently also dubby fest in the country in august where the skints are supposedly playing. can't for the life of me remember what the name of the fest is but i'mma find out cos it sounds sweet.

took 4 nights to get to writing about this gig/the weekend, i've been super lazy recently.. went out to the pub on monday night in the south-west and caught up with everyone from home-home. was still sorta on a massive downer so wasn't the most amazingly fun person but whatever, i'm fully rested and looking forward to many more nights chilled or unchilled this easter break. back to e1 tomorrow..

see you on the other side, peace xx

8/3/10

just did my (new) daily 50 sit-ups per day, feels good but i wish i could sleep now. can never fall asleep.. just watching random episodes of f.r.i.e.n.d.s hoping it will make me somewhat sleepy. this weekend has been a mix of project work, home/family and friends. well, friend, izzy came over anyway hah.

this is the building i'm designing for my project. this is the model at scale 1:100 that hopefully my tutor will approve tmrw. so behind it's horrible. one more week before the presentation and i'm gonna kill myself working. no play for the next 7 days!

found loads of old pictures from some back-up disks this weekend as well, there are so many brilliant photos from back in the emo/scene/myspace days. they were great.. aha..

HAHAHA this is one of the first pictures i ever uploaded to my myspace. i remember getting dressed up, working out the self timer on the camera, putting it on my bathroom floor and posing. we were all so cool maaan..
nice editting with the ott frame and 50% there stars and stuff as well hah. what a prick..

feeling pretty nostaligic right about now with all these old pictures.. missing a bunch of people. not sure how people seem to drift in and out of your life, it's all a bit weird. baah, dumb mind, go to sleep
i'm out, laters!
