Last night was so, so good. I'm not sure I explained this when it first happened but if I did, bear with me. On Friday the 26th of August Judith, Hannah C and I went to se Editors play a secret gig in a shed in a car park on Brick Lane. It was run by T-mobile Street Gigs and loads of them have been happening all over the country. Every street gig they run a photo competition. Me and Jude posed for a photo looking totally unsexy but very RAWK! and it won the competition for that night. We won a lovely little phone and it was all good.
Hannah gets a call inviting us to the final, han can't make it but me and Jude (always happy to attend events with freebies attached) go along, expecting it to be a bit lame. How wrong we could be. We got to Proud Galleries in Camden (hotsting the event obvvvv) and the we were gwetting ready to show them out invites when the dudes on the door were like 'ohhhh you guys are in the photo, go straight up' and we were scared because how did they knoooow? When we got upstairs we were offered drinks and we thought they wouldn't give us alcohol BUT THEY DID so I was the classy girl that I am and drank beer while Jude had wine. Then we looked up and saw out photo blown up really massive on the wall and it was just like OMGWTFWTFWTFOMG! Then we were looking at it and some started talking to us and he was like 'blah blah blah 500 entries all over the country and you got down to the final 10 WELL DONE!' and then mentioned he was one of the judges so we had a spaz attack. Then a professional photographer took 20millionbazilliongazillion photos of me and Jude standing in front of our picture and it was soooo embarassing. Then nothing was happening for a hile so we wrnt on to the roof-top area where Editors were gonna play in a few hours and we watched them do the sound check and then Tom sang a few lines from 'Blood' acoustic and they are some of mine and Jude's favourtie lines and we cried a bit. I forgot to mention that at this point we had gone to get more drinks from the free bar and were starting to get a bit happy. Seriously, the wine glasses were like bowls - it was great!
Then the award was announced and we didn't win a £1000 holiday so we were a bit bummed so thought hey! we have a free bar all nigt let's get drunk. So we did. And we were right at the front for Editors, I was standing less than a metre from Tom, exactly infront of him. Was amazing. And I got a signed t-shirt and there were only 5 wooh. And Chris the bassist signed my arm. And Aaron was there with his little sister, Elina...and she is just so cute. Jude talker to her all night which left me and Aaron and it was so hard.
I think I'm in love.
Today at school was so shit though. I woke up at 4.30 and I have felt hungover and had period pains all day. I was so sure i was going to die. But ho hum. I am here and alive still. And despite feeling confused I am quite a happy chappy.
