Right, The Big Update, if I can be arsed. If not, it'll just be a Slightly Big Update, &I'm drunk so if things look a little strange or are spelled wrong, I'll correct 'em later. Plus my brain has decided to die since I nearly spelled "it'll" as "ittle". Haha.
Got to Newcastle at about half ten, wandered around for a while &purchased a black trilby hat &a black PVC jacket in the sales, then met murton at the green. Wandered around Newcastle for a while, then got the bus to Boro &got there around quarter past one. I dumped my stuff off &we wandered around Boro with Sarah spikedfrog. I paid my deposit on the new house, we couldn't all go &see the inside, but we walked past it &it looks lovely! The front street has a power line with a pair of boots thrown over it, bizarre I know, but it gives the place a bit of character, haha. Anyway, the house has a lovely new front door, double glazing, &I looked into what will be my room &it looks so nice, plus I have a BAY WINDOW! :)
After that we went round to Becky's (another housemate) &talked for a while, it's really great how well we all get along, I think I'm really going to enjoy next year. :) Then back to Murton's to get ready for My Ruin. I'd gotten a Pot Noodle from Kwik Save, so I was gonna have that for my tea. I got in the kitchen &took the top off, only to find that one of Murton's housemates had taken his stuff home with him. Guess what? His stuff only included the bloody kettle. So, I'm stuck with a pot noodle &no kettle. Questioning Sarah yielded the info that Kwik Save would still be open (it was getting on for half six so all the Greggs' &anywhere else that wasn't a takeaway would be shut) since it didn't shut til 9, &that I could get a Ginsters pasty. So, off we went &I got a huge Cornish pasty &some jam tarts, &by the time we got back I didn't have time to take my makeup off &do it all properly again, so I ended up just slapping more on, haha, must've looked pretty dodgy, but nevermind. Me &Murton headed off to The Crypt, &were quite disturbed by the amount of cliched-looking people there were there, but nevermind. The doors opened &we got Exit By Name (great band from Stockton who Murton promotes &knows &stuff) flyers shoved at us, &Phil from EBN shouted Murton over. We were saying earlier how good it would be if EBN played like they did last time, &I said I wished Rachel Stamp were supporting them like they are in London.
Anyway, Murton was talking to Phil for a while, I met stitched_kitten (it was lovely to meet you miss :)), &the first band came on who just happened to be, yes, you guessed it, Exit By Name. They played a really good set with a few new songs, one of which was dedicated to Murton. :) I was getting a few hacky looks off some gothy looking girls next to me (might've been cos I wasn't wearing black, haha, I was wearing my new stripy trousers &a cream top. I decided against the black thing cos everyone would be doing it, hehe). We met a few friends of Murton; Roisin, Gemma, Nita (I think that's her name anyway, hehe), then the second band came on; Walls of Jericho, who were really good. I spotted Tairrie &Mick standing at the side of the stage watching them, so I went over but Tairrie had gone, so I stood behind Mick watching Walls of Jericho with Gemma &her mates. My Ruin were on next, &me &Murton were both standing on chairs so we could see better. :) The gig was SO much better than last time, the atmosphere was much more relaxed &less kiddie, although at some points it looked like a fucking kids playground. The circle pit was a bit suspect, &there were several people who couldn't have been more than 16 stumbling around acting drunk, although I doubt whether any of them were what with there being no bar &all. &people THAT pissed that they can hardly stand up wouldn't get past security if they were drinking beforehand, so it's pretty obvious they were putting it on. ::sigh::
Lolly rockhag came over &said she was standing right on the other side of the stage beside My Ruin's bassist, &took me over so I could get a really good view. I saw a really pretty boy who I was going to talk to, but I didn't dare, besides which I'd noticed a guy over the other side of the stage filming the gig who looked SO much like David Ryder Prangley from Rachel Stamp it was uncanny. I thought maybe it was him then I wondered what he'd be doing in Boro. I went over to see if it was him but I couldn't get near him, so I ran back over. He ended up standing right beside me, so when he put the camera down I tapped him on the arm &said, "are you David from Rachel Stamp" &he nodded, &I was so shocked that all I could think of to say was, "oh my God I think you're so cool, can I have a hug please?" &I HUGGED DRP!!! :P w00t!
Then after the song My Ruin were playing Tairrie introduced DRP &said he was going to do guest vocals on My War, which was wonderful.
We went back to Murton's to pick up Sarah &call for their friend Ben, then off to the Arena. I had a splitting headache so I'd taken Nurofen &wasn't going to drink, also when I paid to get in I couldn't have gotten a drink without not having enough cash for bus fare, so that was out. We danced to lots of cool stuff &I went all emo 'cos it dawned on me that I'd be in Boro all the time ¬ back here, &that this would be where I'd go to get drunk, haha. &I realised how much I'd miss everyone here &how much I love them all. <3333 Still, "however far away, I will always love you", I want you all to fucking remember that. I also met shallownation, it was lovely to meet you too miss, I'm sorry I wasn't more talkative but I couldn't hear myself think, hehe.
We stayed at the arena til two &went back to Murton's. I had some more food then got myself settled to go to sleep. I didn't get to sleep til about half four &woke up at nine. Murton walked to the bus station with me &I said since he wasn't feeling well I'd get the bus to Newcastle on my todd, so I listened to NIN; The Fragile on the way back &some Alice in Chains. I was going to meet Sam scarme, but I was really knackered &her phone wasn't working. I went back home &ordered my taxi for Pzazz.
I ended up on here &Scarboard until I had to go &get ready. Met up with Leesh littleleesh, Michael lord_lucan, Lee, dyst0vox, Dan prophet_orange, &Kate likeneontubing &went to the Jameson. Kate was grossing everyone out with some story or other. Rob prince_adreena &a few other people turned up, &we all went to Pzazz. Me &Michael were quoting lines from Bottom on the way there, which was quite amusing, although Lee accused us of being obsessed, hehe.
Pzazz was fucking great! I had the best time. I got a pint of snakebite &black, PROPER snakebite &black this time, it was red/pink &everything, not the pitiful pint of snakebite with a teeny tiny bit of blackcurrant in it. We danced to a lot of stuff, including Dimmu Borgir \m/ \m/, hehe. I was dancing &some fucking wanker threw a drink on the dancefloor which hit me &soaked my leg &my boots. Well, I think someone threw it anyway, it didn't get dropped anyway. &as I was coming off the dancefloor I was trying to be careful but I slipped &fell, so I ended up smacking my elbow off the dancefloor &my knee off the floor. My elbow is all bruised &my knee is a huge red/purple scrape. :P Still, I found it quite amusing (well, the alternative would be to get all upset, &fuck it, life's too short) &laughed. I found a pretty guy who I thought might have been the guy from the My Ruin gig. :)
I was dancing to something else &when it finished I took my glasses out of my pocket only to find that they were broken. One of the legs has come off, so it's now stuck back on with sellotape, hehe. Ah well, I dunno, I read somewhere that black rimmed glasses that were falling apart &stuck together were, like, uberemo. :P
Me &Leesh have decided that if we're both in Boro next year, the emo/goth/glam/indie boys of Middlesbrough aren't going to know what's hit them! :P Honestly, SO MANY pretty boys!! :D
Anyway, that's my two days pretty much summed up, I'm sure I've missed out loads of stuff, but I'll add it as &when I remember.
