Wow.
Since the last entry ALOT has happened, not that anyone reads this or anything. I always say that I'll write in this more but i never do, I actually forgot my username so I had to have it emailed to me..
Well, since the last entry I actually got a job at Tesco which is all fine & dandy if you enjoy boredom, which I don't.. Oh and I hate snotty old people even more now :). Also the second year of college was shaky to say the least, I'm not the best student in the world but I just about managed to drag myself through it. The year was great to say the least, I made new friends, kinda drifted away from other friends and had such a good time, writing music, hanging out, going to gigs etc. The last project was amazing, everyone put alot into it and it turned out so well. It was almost like saying a long goodbye really because I definately know I won't be seeing alot of them for a long time. Great people aswell, I hope I see them soon. Alot of them went to Salford Uni which I was going to go to but in the end I just didn't get the grades (plus I wasn't ready to move out to salford & get mugged every week) I basically just wasn't ready for university.. I was all set to take a gap year when I was offered a place on the MANCAT HND Music course which is basically just as good. You do the 2 years there and depending on what grades you get (and the university) you can just do 1 or 2 top-up years to get a degree. I'm going to work really hard at this seeing as I was given this chance purely out of luck. The people doing the course are really ace aswell, it'll be alot of fun.
Apart from studying/working I'm actually in a band now playing bass, I Joined I Admit Defeat (www.myspace.com/iadmitdefeat) in late August, in which my friend Jack is the drummer, he offered me to come down n practice with them and I loved it. Totally ace guys, love 'em. Done quite a few gigs up to now all over the place, I can't wait to see where it'll lead. ^_^
I really want to move out into Fallowfield or Didsbury becuase its becoming increasingly annoying living at home, mainly because of transport issues, and I just want a taste of life living with friends and having a bit of that unwanted responsibility. Might be getting a place with Jack & Phil May, definately hope it happens, it'd be so cool!
I also really want to pass my driving test, I so need a car these days, its essential for a musician to have his own transport anyway, plus it'd make it a hell of alot easier to get to Openshaw for college!
Also I've been coming out of me shell alot recently, being alot more open about my sexuality. Been dating here & there seeing what happens but I haven't really met anyone I'm really into yet. Theres a guy who I genuinely like but I don't know whats happening with that. Meh.
Also since my last entry I've suddenly become obsessed with fighting games again (mainly street fighter) especially 3rd strike and Alpha 3, theres also CVS2 but I only play that as a mess around. I didn't know the SF scene was still kicking but it most certainly is. There are quite a few players in Manchester, and LOADS in London, its really good to know because the general standard of playing it pretty damn good. No where near as good as the Japanese but its definately decent. I practiced on Alpha 3 LOADS on emulator then later on the ps2 Alpha Anthology which is alot of fun, then about 2 weeks ago I finally got my hands on a copy of 3rd strike which I've been wanting FOREVER. Its amazing, I reckon my skills have improved alot, can't wait to see how my Ibuki fares against the Manc SF-heads! I've played my mates Psy & Scott n I did pretty well considering it'd be a week training with her. Then I played some Chinese guys Yun (they're all good) and I battered him in 2 rounds but he kinda owned me with his Genei-Jin set-ups :( I definately should get hold of an arcade stick, soon.
I finally saw Catt again when she came down in the half term to stay with Scott. Went out in town drinking and playing pool, was ace, then went to Erics on the Wednesday to have a games night, system link Halo 2 Deathmatches are awesome! I have to get me a 360 for Halo 3(aswell as a Wii, for everything else)
I think I've written quite alot, hmm.
IAD have got 5 gigs coming up this month starting on the 13th in Huddersfield I think.. Should be good.
Payday on friday.. Should be expensive.
Going to Buffet City with Catt & Scott.. Hopefully.
Going on a date.. Shock horror!
Night night x
