So don't look back or too far ahead

About Me

You're not your job. You're not how much money you have in the bank. You're not the car you drive. You're not the contents of your wallet. You're not your fucking khakis. You're the all-singing, all-dancing crap of the world.

"I'm a woman! We don't say what we WANT! But we reserve the right to get pissed off if we don't get it. That's what makes us so fascinating! And not a little bit scary."
What I love: Live music, sunshine, long chats with good friends, Shake-A-Way milkshakes, days-off, Junk Food t-shirts, discovering new bands, talking rubbish on FFS boards, Brighton beach in summer, learning about different cultures, good old fashioned rock and roll, Marmite flavoured crisps, classic VW Beetles.
What I hate: Being screwed over by someone you thought was a friend, coat hangers, bananas, MySpace pages that have so much on them they take half an hour to load, people that think others are jealous of them, tattoos picked out of flash books, lads who wear their jeans too low, insomnia, people who have their MP3 players too loud on the bus, gigs being cancelled, new VW Beetles.

Long overdue update

Bank holiday Monday is as good as any day to finally do a blog update, and I actually have stuff to write about for once! I've just had a week off work, which I really needed. I haven't done any colle...

Stuff (and nonsense)

I never seem to manage a regular blog posting, or anything thats structured in any sort of way so this will just be the ususal brain dump. My brain is also like mashed potatoes at the moment, so don't...

Review of 2006

So Christmas is over for another year, thank goodness. It's not that I don't like Christmas, I just hate all the commercialism of it, getting into debt buying things you can't afford for people who do...

Reasons to be cheerful, 1, 2, 3....

I haven't written a blog in ages, so I thought I'd do an update. It was going to be a whingy one (being back in a crap job, taking a paycut, a ton of college work to do) but then I thought, 'You ungra...

A weekend of gigs, Part 3 (The revenge!)

Ok, last one, I promise! Needless to say, I was pretty knackered by Sunday. But it was Father's Day and my sister and I had bought our Dad a ticket to see The Who at the Brighton Centre. I'd seen them...

A weekend of gigs, Part 2 (the sequel)

I know its taking me ages to get this all up, but I've been so tired this week! Expect a long one people. So Saturday was hot, sunny, and perfect for rocking out in Hyde Park with the Foos and 60,000 ...

A weekend of gigs, Part 1

As most people know *including those who've had to suffer my wrath* I've been revising for exams for the last month or so. But 12pm finally arrived last Friday, and we'd finished! The advantage of ha...
