AMAZING

14/6/09

Other stuff has happened this week, like today I went to The Bay Gala but I cant remember cause Im so overly hyper from just getting back to see Biffy Clyro for the second time at The Alhambra. It's 2.03am and I feel pretty much dead, cued from 6pm and stayed out till 1.30am.. it was crazy. I went with Beth Dobson whos always a good chitchat banter. There was a bit of a delay on the doors opening but once we got in absolutley everyone was phsyced, the support band Middle Class Rut came on after about half an hour and gradually became quite impressive, theyre coming back on tour soon so im considering going for the banter. It was no match for Biffy though who picked The Alhambra as there warm up gig for Rockness tomorrow, since last time was incredible. As soon as they came on everyone went apeshit, and never stopped. There was crowdsurfers and moshpits from the very first song and shitloads of singalong moments. Best moment was probably hearing the crowd sing along to Machines on Simons acoustic guitar, there was literally steam coming off it audience, crazy. Dobson and I had such a good time we stayed behind to meet them, it was rather sad actually, but ther was some funny folk to talk to, some middle aged mega fans, two really drunk prefects, kids from manchester, Marnock for a little while and this other guy our age. A random sound guy came past and while everyone was bvegging for it, i was checking myself out in the tourbuis and he just handed me a drumstick I told him I love him and he later gave me a gueslist, QUALITY MAN!! We stayed till Half One till eventually there tourbus had to leave. First Ben and James came out and were really nice actually, all we wanted was autographs but they were like 'you not wanting individual photos?!' and thanked us for staying out, they were sound as hell. Simon came out about 5 minutes later and was surprisingly gorgeous in real life, really nice as well, i told him about folk and how I like what hes doing with Marmaduke Duke and he seemed genuinly happy, if a big shy, I got a really good, cheesy photo with Dobson thats up in my albums, check it out, its amazing, definitly NME Stalkers material. Hmm well, i actually think Ive damaged my ears from the noise of the gig, since we were so close to the speakers, and am in absolute pain from the crowd.. i think Dobson thinks she broke a rib hahahAnyone got any bad inguries recently..? x

Good times keep rollin

This weeks been amazing, Tuesday I went up town with Lewis and met up with Kirstin and we went to Fresh and had a banter, and I took Kirstin to get her cartlidge peirced, and even the peircer was like 'wow, you have alot of peircings...' haha then we went into then kingsgate and bumped into beth and went for more coffee in starbucks, then played tig which ended when kirstin said 'why is everyone running away from me )):::' lmao what a good day. Friday I went out the bay with Tammy and Lewis which was good, got so crazy I fell on my ass and hat rain kicked on me, the night was cut short and I went back to Lewises house with Betsy, Tammy, Nick and Lewis (obv) we watched Yo Gabba Gabba then my dad called and Lewis made sex noises in the background and dad went crazy so I went crazy at Lewis, which brought a downer on the night, but it was still pretty fkn good, running in the rain like pricks. Saturday I went to see Brokencyde with Emma and Lewis, and i dont think i've laughed so much in my life. The opening band Winch House were amazing, if a bit samey, still amazing. Alot of energy, I reckon they'll get famous. The second band Catch the Disaster or something were fucking hilarious at first with there crunky eye of the tiger and inappropriate 'ooooh, ohhh' but then they actually got quite good to the end down to the energy and jumpyness they had, they got everyone warmed up for Yashin who were amazing as usual, and tbh I think the majority of the crowd were there for them. Lots of jumpage, screamage and pushage later I managed to get to the stage, my knees touching the edge and hurting them like hell. Brokencyde were so good though and so close to us, there faces right in ours, they kept putting the mic to emma to sing. Wow we got sooo hyper that by the end we thought we were fearless, I ran up to a random guy that stood next to me at Hollywood Undead and yelled 'HOLLLYWOOOD' and he was like wtf, and we ran down the royal mile, jumping over bollards, while i yelled 'IM VAN HELSING' we went into starbucks and got even more hyper on coffe and laughed so much, for like half an hour. Lewis 'creamed' and I snorted like a prick. The car ride home

Sunny

In half a year it will be the month of Christmas. In half a year I may have had my first christmas card, I will have had my first advent chocolate. Well this couple few days have been the first real sunny days. Friday was activity day at school, me and Emma were stuck doing 'desktop publishing' in a dark computing classroom which was extremley shit so we made a run for it after like an hour and went to my house for a bit, and then felt bad leaving a computing teacher with 3 geeks so went back for lunch. When we got back to the classroom it was EVEN MORE BORING then before, cause we'd experienced the ledgendery sun, while everyone else was at Alton Towers, we ended up playing HALO for 3 hours with the biggest geeks in our school and was reduced to yelling 'FUCK YOU NIGHTFOX!!! IS THAT A BAZOOKA?! DONT SHOOT ME BITCH!' At nightime I did stuff a little less nerdy, I went through the bay to the skatepark and had some drink in the boiling hot weather, then listened to MSTRKRFT and started dancing like a maniac with Beth, which was superfun and I always wanna dance now. Anyhow it was a really good night, better than usual, even though most of it entailed Lewis, Rachel and I taking 'walks' away from the police up into some housing estate where we sat at a park and got attacked by happy dogs. Saturday went up town with Emma and met up with Marnie and his mates and we just walked about town getting sunburnt, he took us to this big garden thing at the end of some gothic mansion which Emma and I slated at the time and felt bad for it We eventually went through the bay which was pretty pants while we were there, although the sun was immense. I ended up going to Munroes party with Marnie and Ryan (?) we walked from Tesco to the hospital and I got a bit sunburned.. hmmpphh... but the party was great although i didnt really know folk so I was a bit quiet I still enjoyed myself immensly and it was better than what we'd left in the bay, although the bay folk had fun evenutally. Yeah i was a pretty good weekend, and I still have two days off for in service and whatnot. YUUUUS

Today school was really nice, mentoring at lunchtime with Lisa is getting pretty cool now, it makes me feel like i actually have a morsel of importance and Lisa is like the nicest girl ever. After school Dobson and I went to town for her birthday, we weren't there for long like.. 2 hours, but it was really nice. We went for a browse in Penny Lane and comtimplated saying hi to the Beatnic Prestige man who was manning the store.. but didn't so went for a coffee at Fresh, I had a gingerbread latte and she had a vanilla one, while we tried to teach each other to knit... we stayed for quite a while then walked through town, into the Kingsgate and to Hawkans Baazar where she bought us Astronaut Ice Cream, the kind thats all air packed but still tastes like ice cream. We went to the roof of Primark to eat it then ran round in circles listening to music looking at the sky like fags.... LOL then we slowly went and got the bus home, after phoning a Liverpudlian and making him say things.. it was short but really sweet. I wanna do it again. Happy Birthday Beth!!! x

Delightful

Yesterday I went to see The Urgency, Hollywood Undead, Silverstein and The Blackout! in the Glasgow QMU and it was AMAZING!!!! I went with Emma and Lewis and we practically skipped the whole que so managed to get to the barrier for Hollywood Undead, everyone was throwing there hands to the beat and singing and it was so so good. Hollywood Undead were really good at performing and took there masks off. They kept winking and looking at Emma and one of them looked at me!! After around a 30 mintute set Da Kurlzz gave his drumstick to Emma and I caught the other drumstick, Great!! Then we left for the pits for Silverstein which were uber cool to watch, Emma was right in there haaa but me and Lewis were being pussys, I go in and the first time Im in i get punched in the tooth and it starts bleeding so I go to the toilet and it turns out they were actually knocked straight LOL The Blackout were really crazy too although some of the time the crush made it slightly unenjoyable. The lead singer Sean got the packed crowd to all kneel down and everyone was getting absolutley crushed then on the count of 3 jump and everyone went into hysterics. The Blackout were really good but waaay to long, wish i had more Hollywood Undead time. Hmmmm anyways I cba writing alot today, I have alot to do But thanks to Emma for taking me and thanks for Lewis for getting the Brokencyde tickets for 9 days OMFGGG!!!

I just woke up from the night of the Cage The Elephant gig at the Glasgow Queen Margaret Union, it was possibly the best gig of my life so far, if not a tie breaker with Gogol Bordello, but stil reaaaaaally close! Well I went around 5pm in the car with my dad and Danielle and we had a good car banter, eventually getting lost but making it to the venue with like 45 mins to spare. After realising cage was probably going to be a bit crap, for our love of them was dwindiling we got straight in the the centre of the barrier. It wasn't long before the support band Boycotts came on who were actually pretty good and I reckon will be famous one day, the front woman has this cool dancey thing going about and they have a good sound. Then The Shermans came on who, were a bit iffy really. The frontman seemed to love himself a bit, they sounded ok, but sorta like every other band. They got the crowd warmed up though and soon folk were jumping (partially through drunkeness?) Eventually cage came on and it was complete carnage from start to end, The frontman didn't stop moving and jumping once they kept coming out to the audience and make everyone reach to try touch them, I successfully did and Danielle practically took him hostage and refused to let go of his hand and stop hugging him LOL. But no, they were sooo good at working an audience and ive never done soo many foolish like headbang movements in my life. Highlight songs were obviously Tiny Little Robots and In One Ear because everyone knows them and they just have a beat that make people go crazy. At the end I caught a setlist which im really frickin happy about and I bought a badge set, Danielle got a tshirt. We never got to meet them but im past caring it was soo soo good. I definitly left a fan. Now im in total pain haha and I'm late to school (yeah, im actually going).
