2006 at a glance
Wow, I hadn't realised it'd been 2 and a half months since I'd updated. I should have done a bit of a reflection on the year because I expected it to be a bit of a shitter but somehow I've ended up doing some amazing things that I'll relflect on for the rest of my life.
New York - considering I can't be trusted to do things without adult supervision, going to New York on my own (and travelling abroad for the first time) was a pretty huge thing. I can't even begin to explain the different emotions and feelings I felt during my time there. I miss everything about New York though and I wish I could go back and explore it more. Maybe some day.
Going to a festival - I think a lot of people would frown or laugh at going to a folk festival...but you had to be there to feel it. So many amazing bands, so much drinking, so much jamming, so many sleepless nights in a tent situated right next to a huge tree that wasn't a good idea when a full blown storm arrived in Cambridge.
Gigging with my band - I've wanted to be in a band since I first picked up the guitar. I'd have settled for absolutely anything just to make music with someone. So when I get to write the songs and sing them, it still take some getting used to. Hearing different people quoting songs I've written is just so so weird and I'll never get used to it. All the guys are really sound blokes and I'm really glad I've met them...I hope they never read this cos I know they'll kick my arse for saying it lol.
Getting a tattoo done - I'll be the first to admit I have a pain threshold of a 4 year old so the likelyhood of me having a tattoo would be pretty slim. I'm so glad I had it done though. It's a music note and it's so puuurty, I keep stroking it all the time lol.
Meeting someone amazing - it's not often I get the chance to meet someone who takes my breath away but when it happens I sure damn well know about it. Honest, thoughtful, sweet, funny, passionate, sesnitive, incredibly grrr...I could go on for hours but to put it simply, she's the best thing to happen to me in a long long time. I know damn well she's going to read this so I'm trying not to embarrass her too much lol. Louise, honey, I love you. Thank you for everything.
