Kasabian

I have a new obsession....their name is Kasabian and I cannot get enough of their music. It's true love this time.....I promise

Teenage Drama

So Today I watched the last ever episode of Dawsons Creek. Sad I know for someone of my age and cynisim to be watching such drivel but this show saw me all the way through high school. It started when I was in standard 6 but I never got to see the last series due to some untimely country hopping.

Anyway, I bawled my eyes out for two hours ,but I feel like I finally got some closure on a big chapter on my life......and in the end the bad boy with the good heart one out and I got my happy ending.

V top 3

So I did say I would do my top three bands from V....here goes

1. Faithless
sadly we only saw half the act but it was phenomenal. The crowd was totally in sync singing along. It was like being a part of some kind of huge organism. Steve said he felt like he was in the scene from the matrix where they are at that huge rave and I have to say that pretty much sums it up.

2.Hard-Fi
Have liked them for a while but they were way better live than on their Cd. the lead singer has a great accent and is damn good looking so all in all it was fun to watch.

3. Butch Walker
Had no Idea who this guy was or anything about his music but he entertained so well it didn't matter. He had the crowd in the palm of his hand. I think this guy is what festivals are all about. Being blown away by something you had no idea existed.

I know I said in my e-mail that I won't go again but I can't stop thinking about the weekend....I think I might have found my new hobby...

Theme Park madness

It was Saskia's birthday on Friday the 25th and I gave her a trip to Legoland. So today was D day. Happily Rox and Ian (or Tagg and Fox and they are affectionately known) came along and we set off at a fairly early hour this morning. The park was amazing...the best bit was the mini cities, including mini Buckingham Palace, London Eye and St Pauls...all made out of Lego. Amazing.

The rides were pretty fun. Not aimed at at adults but we had a good laugh. Will post some photo's if I get hold of them.

Paris

So...I had little expectations of Paris having heard some very mixed reviews, but I was pleasently surprised. Guin and I managed to cram a lot into very little time and my highlight was definetly the Eiffel Tower. It was very beautiful and I was struck by just how romantic a setting it was (where has my cynisim gone?) I really loved the latin quater with all it's greek restaurants and creperies. The weather was perfect and it was a thoroughly enjoyable trip, just over way too quickly.

V

The Good
- The bands, Check out above for my top three but even people I had never heard of were amazing
- The weather, didn't rain during at all while we were watching bands.....it was not too hot, not too cold. Perfect
- The crowd, The best thing about watching the big bands was being part of the crowd who r just going crazy for some band.....jumping and screaming in appreciation. Amazing

The Bad
- The food, was not great. Lots of fatty fried food and junk
- The crowd, trying to walk from one stage to another was like swimming up stream. No matter which way you're going, you're always going up stream.... drunk crowds....hard to deal with

The Ugly
- The toilets, OH MY GOODNESS, I have never seen, or smelt, anything so disgusting in my entire life. I did not expect to be confronted by 50000 people's bodily waste this weekend. I think if I can manage that, I can take on the WORLD.....
- me, by the end of the weekend. Don't want to give away too many secrets but it was not a pretty sight. Major respect to Steve for putting up with me in my ever worsening moods....

I am the luckiest girl alive!!!!

This is it.....I feel like I am finally living the London experience I have always wanted. Today I got the shock of my life when I open my mail and found V Festival tickets. I have to admit I was shaking and screaming with excitement. I entered a competion online and even though I eneterd about 100 times, the thought that I might actually win, never entered my mind.

Secondly I am going to paris for a night and 2 days next week with an old friend who I haven't hung out with in ages. The great thing is she is a travel agent so the trip is pretty cheap...so I'm not worried about missioning off to see the sights.
I am so excited about this week. I have been working my but off for the last 3 months and I feel like these two trips are going to make it all worth while.

One liner of the week

It's not hard to meet expenses, they are everywhere.

Good times

Lately I have been spending more and more time at home with DVD's for company, due mostly, to a lack of funds. I have ventured out 3 times in the last week or so and (because I have been more selective about outings) I have found them to be exactly the refreshing and fun experiences I was craving.

Saturday night I spent some time with Tagg. It has been a few weeks since we last really caught up (not from lack of trying on each of our behalves) and though I would love to be able to spend more time with her, I agree with the addage "absence makes the heart grow fonder". As always we ended up nattering away till way too late and I just managed to catch the last train home. Anyway all these meetings and fun times have just reminded me that it doesn't matter where you are....it's all about the peeps. and while there a few people missing, (who will soon be joining me on this side of the world) it just doesn't get any better then this. If time could stand still, I would be happy for it to stop here for a while.

Friday night found me, Rox and Jo were sitting in Piccadilly Circus enjoying the lovely evening and watching the people around us when all of a sudden I was attacked by air and land. It was a well co-ordinated mission that left little doubt I was the target. Yes, I was attacked by "Pigeon squadron 219". I was trying to hold down an intelligent conversation but was being dive bombed and then pecked at. I turned around and told them to "Back off" but this had absolutely no effect and so I had to resort to using my coke bottle as a shield and weapon. I could tell how menacing and scary I was by Rox and Jo's peals of laughter and was only rescued by us having to leave to meet some friends.
Scarred as I am by this unprevoked attack I have resolved to face my fears and venture out into this pigeon infested city once more.....I will not be defeated by a bunch of bloody pigeons!!!!!

2 of my favourite things

So I have had to resort to sitting in starbucks with a cup of coffee in order to get my internet fix.....hard I know. I am officially on holiday and while I can't afford to go anywhere I am going to take full advantage.....and today I am enjoying a rainy London day sitting at a window seat watching the world go by and listening to Louis Armstrong. London just does not get any better than this...
Someone asked me on friday night why I love london so much, and I just could not put my passion for this city into words..... I think for me it boils down to options..... In london you r never short of things to do. Infact you can choose between 100 different things on a daily basis....and when you're feeling lazy you don't have to travel more than 2 monutes from your house to find your local starbucks for hours of plesent reading/blogging......

Yeah???....so what

I've been quiet for about a week now....but I'm sick (and tired), I'm working a lot and my ineternet on my computer is not working properly.....so if you don't hear from me in a while...you know why
