Watch the world spinning gently out of time..


Well... it's been a wee while hasn't it? I've obviously grown a little forgetful in my old age... 20 in September remember!?! Fuck...


So what have I been upto? Well I was at T in the Park (Sunday only this year thanks to work) and I managed to see a good few bands/artists that I wanted to see. One of them being Miss Lily Allen... she is absolutely gorgeous, and that is a complete understatement. She was fabulous, really enjoyed her set. I also seen Pete Doherty and it must be said, I'm in love. I've always liked him and his music/bands etc, but never been like 'oh Pete, I love you'... well now I'm at that stage. He is another one that is just downright beautiful, which again is an understatement. His set was good also, it was obviously mainly a solo set, but he threw in a few Libertines and Babyshambles classics. I also noticed little Drew McConnell on the bass, another little beauty. But the highlight of T in the Park 2009 was obviously Blur! Which by the way was just sheer luck! Apparently Graham Coxon was taken into hospital earlier on in the day and they weren't sure if he was going to be well enough to play! When it came up on the monitors I swear to god I almost burst into tears! Snow Patrol ended up playing an overly long set, which has now made me never want to see Snow Patrol live again, however luckily Graham pulled through and they managed to get back to T in the Park in time. And oh my god, they were worth the wait! Like them or loath them, it's obvious why people state them as one of the most influential bands of the 90's, they are out of this world. I had so much fun watching them, they were unbelievable. I love, love, love them! Seeing Graham in the flesh made my heart sink, I love Graham! And seeing Damon in person was so cool, he was like my childhood crush! He actually still is my crush, but shhh! I'm so lucky that I can say I've seen them live though, so happy!


Oh and before I forget, I have a new kitten! She's 6 weeks old and is the craziest cat I have ever had. She's currently watching me type this, in fact she's trying to attack my fingers as I type haha. She's so hyperactive, it's unbelievable. She's beautiful though, total cutie-pie. Her name is Misty and she's mental!

What's the story morning glory?

So yeah, I just went to see Oasis on Wednesday, no big deal...

Ahhhh! Oasis! I can't believe I've actually seen Oasis in the flesh, on a stage! They were AMAZING! Now I know why I've loved them for like ever. They, along with Blur, have a playlist of songs that are the soundtrack to my childhood and my life. Still can't believe I actually seen them, they were so brilliant, it was unbelievable, I am so freaking happy!

Also must say I was chuffed at seeing Reverend & the Makers, The Enemy (yet again) and Kasabian as well. Not going to lie, I like the Rev but I'm not a huge fan, however still brilliant. I was so excited to see The Enemy because I LOVE them! They were outstanding, as per usual. Wee Tom, Andy and Liam are my boys (not really, I just pretend they are). I go see them as much as I can cause they truly are amazing. If you've never heard of The Enemy, then listen to them, you won't regret it! Now Kasabian, they were the biggest shock of the night. I never been a big fan of Kasabian because we had a bit of a falling out a few years ago (they said something nasty about a band I loved and I was like 'well fuck you', so aye). But holy sheee-aaat, they were out of this world! I think I fell head over heels in love as soon as they finished the first song. I can't believe I held a grudge against them for so long cause they are so good! They even rivaled Oasis for the best performance of the night, it was just the sheer excitement of seeing Oasis that made them better I think. But overall the whole day/night was brilliant and I'm so happy I can say I've seen all these bands now!

And to make my life that little bit more exciting, next stop... T in the Park!! Which of course means BLUR! Imagine being able to say that you seen Blur and Oasis in same year... I'm jealous of myself! I can't wait to see Blur though, I'm like pee my pants excited. Damon, Alex, Dave and of course (my gutiar god) Graham are my lads, I love 'em!

It has to be said, live music cannot be beaten, it really can't. There's nothing quite like going to see you're favourite bands, getting drunk and singing along til you can't speak anymore. I live for it.

Oh and last thing... I've got a college interview for a Sound Production course, yay! I can't wait. Fingers crossed I get in!

Censored.

How is it possible to hate someone so much, yet still completely love them at the same time? I want so much to just walk away, but I can't bring myself to do it. 

I get so annoyed with you all the time cause you treat me like shit, even though I treat you as if they're the most special thing in the world. And I don't know why and continue to lie about how great you are, cause you're actually fucking horrible.

I love you, but you really piss me off.

Rant Over.

Confusion comes in big boxes.

Okay, so is it slightly weird that I've already decided what I'm going to call my children? I don't plan on having any for many, many years, so I have no idea why I have chosen their names already. I guess I just like to plan way, way in advance.

Anyway I hate to put a dampner on things, whatever those things may be, but this week has been difficult. I've hardly eaten anything and pretty much lived on red bull, which is not good. My whole 'weight' issue thing has returned and I don't know what to do. All I want to do is lose weight, even though I know it's a stupid thing to want. I'm 5'7" and I weigh 7st 4. And as silly as this sounds, all I want to do is get to 7st... I don't know why. I'm obsessed with it. It's so draining when you're scared of gaining weight. I'm constantly aware of what I'm eating and how many calories are in things and I spend the majority of my days trying to find a way to avoid being hungry, it's so horrible. I can't even talk to anyone about it because I know how stupid it is. I hate admitting it to myself, but I do have some kind of a problem with food and I really need to get over it.

On the bright side though, I got my first tattoo! I LOVE IT! It's just a wee one around my left wrist and it says 'Dreams. Romance. Excess', just a wee dedication to my favourite Scottish band, The View. It's dead cute.

We've all got dreams, we all yearn for the perfect romance and we all want excess in the form of the things we love.

I like pretty pictures.



I want to be the girl in this picture, simply
because it looks nice. Sunshine, a book and isolation; not a bad combination.

I just got a nice tunic from Topshop. It's yellow with a 'hippy' picture on it. Pretty simple, but nice all the same. I got it in the wrong size though. They only had size 10's and I needed an 8, but I still got it anyway cause I liked it so much.

The View are on fire!


They, to me, are the shit. I love them. I have for so long now, but it seems my love just keeps growing and growing.

Yay, I've finally brought myself into the 21st century... I've now started using Twitter woo hoo! I've actually had one for quite a few months, but I never used it cause wasn't sure what the point of it was. I get it now though, so all's good.

Coffee & TV.


So, as a self-claimed tomboy, I never wear foundation, or even make-up tbh. But today, my friend, that changes. I decided it's about time that I started looking more like a female, seeing as that's what I am. So I done a little make-up shopping today and I found such a good foundation; Maybelline's Dream Satin Liquid in Light Porcelain (I'm Scottish therefore I'm white as a sheet). Because I'm a foundation newbie I didn't want to go for anything too heavy or extreme, and also cause I don't have much money I didn't want to go for anything too pricey, so this foundation was perfect. It's quite light, yet you hardly have to use any for it to still have decent coverage. It didn't leave my face feeling smothered either and looked pretty natural. So all in all, a happy girl about that!




I've also just realised that I still haven't finished Alex James' book, 'Bit of a Blur'. It's like the minute I find any time to read, I'm either not in the mood or I constantly keep getting interrupted and end up reading the same page over and over again. So far it's been a decent read though. I would suggest you read it if you're a fan of Blur or Alex James, as you would probably find it quite interesting. 




I'm trying to think what else I've been upto lately... hmm? I was out at a gig on Friday, it was okay... we went back to the aftershow party as well which was utter bollocks, was nothing compared to the likes of The View's aftershow parties, which are always quite fun. I've also realised I hate Millar beer and I'm never drinking it again, it's rank. 

I also have another View gig in Glasgow on the 14th but I have nothing to wear! Always my problem, a wardorbe full of clothes, nothing to wear. I wouldn't mind treating myself to a new pair of black shorts actually, might check ASOS to see if they have any nice ones, which by the way, I just bought a gorgeous union jack bag from, I'm totally in love with it at the moment, so fetch! I'll probably just end up wearing my Dr Martens, some band t-shirt, my leather jacket and fish nets, as well as the new shorts... obviously not going to go out in my knickers, that wouldn't be nice for anyone. 



And to end this post I just want to say that I love Calvin Harris' song, 'I'm Not Alone' or something... just makes ya wanna get on ya boogie! Haha rather addicted though. It seems that our Calvin can do no wrong.
