For those of you who don't know about Hay Festival, you're missing out somewhat. Hay is a small town about an hour from my house which has had a very strong literary culture for a very long time. Many of the shops are Bookshops and attract people globally. The festival itself started in the 80s and has been growing every year. I'd not really given ( Read more... )

I am currently experiencing a worrying dip in my musical taste. [Some of you may believe that my taste was already slightly questionable.. SHHHHH!!] I blame Eurovision. Because it has made me like Jedward. Someone kill me?

Singing lessons have finally started again, but it's been like starting over, since my teacher is off doing an opera tour ( Read more... )

I went to see My Passion last nighttt ♥ My pretty golden boys, lol. Halloween was black body paint. New album, new tour and it's gold body paint. Sparkly and sexy. WIN. Also far less messy than black. I got a *I heart you* from John Be and the fangirl in me went a tad SQUEEEEEEE. Lol. Andy their tour manager also said I won because I was wearing ( Read more... )

I am annoyed. I wrote out a MASSIVE entry and was allllmost finished when I somehow highlighted everything whilst typing so it all disappeared. The saved draft was the little bit I typed after the rest disappeared. Frustrated, I am it ( Read more... )

My Chemical Romance were fantastic. In the fully Tennant/Doctor Who sense of the word :D [/geek]. The setlist was perfect, they were totally on form and just SQUEE. Best way to spend a birthday! I did take a few pictures, but due to the bouncy nature of the crowd, they are all very fuzzy. This is the best of the lot:

Hello 2011. Today is the 1/1/11! I am not excited about this much. I have no idea what this year is going to hold for me, and if I'm honest I live in trepidation that the start at least will not be plain sailing. Until I can leave Baileys my life will be stressful and occasionally unpleasant. I need to get working on that business plan. [see ( Read more... )

Well the phoneline is FINALLY fixed. Can't believe it took two weeks. Sky and BT clearly do not communicate well at all. It took the boy who came yesterday three and half HOURS to put in a new socket and connection to the line outside. I forgot how much I rely on le interweb ( Read more... )

I am so TIRED. I thought I was getting better from this cold and then I went out to Bristol last night to see Bowling For Soup and it's nearly deaded me :/ BFS were rather fun though. I'm not really a fan of theirs - I don't own any of their music, but I saw them at Download a few years ago and they were funfun! I stood at the back so as to not be ( Read more... )

WELL. It has to be said, that although most people probably think I am just a big fangirl for Kill Hannah, [which I am, I cannot deny it], there is also far more to it than that. And this weekend proved just how awesome they are, and how much they mean to me ♥ I've also realised that My Passion have the same space given over to them in my heart. ( Read more... )

So 2009, and a whole Decade, is just a few hours from waning into the past. It's gone by so quickly it's hard to remember all the things that have happened. I've just looked back at my last entry for 2008. I have actually achieved a few goals that I set myself, which just goes to show that goals DO work if you are determined. So ( Read more... )
