On a train home. I've got the next three hours to think about the last five days.
So. I can't explain you. You went from being my main fear to the person who turned this around for us.
Can I not feel this confused right now, thank you.
For the record, these past five days have been amazing. Truly. And I can't wait to relive it all.
But we're in deeper than ever before.
Let's see where this one goes ey.
More to come.

some days, i miss them more than i could possibly describe.
|
|

[09 Aug 2009|02:41pm] |
i wish i was at warped tour. i know a lot of my friends list do, but i really really feel like i'm missing this huge piece of their history right now. i've felt strangely since the girls went to three shows without me. i don't know if that's good or not, because i didn't ever see me doing all of their shows from now on - march was meant to be some sort of weird adventure to get it out of my system, sort of. but the more i think about it, the more i need to go. i don't know how i'll cope with uni or with parents or whatever, but i don't know if there's ever going to be a way of backing out of this quietly. i don't want to have to. ugh.
so yes, i went on holiday. two weeks without my blackberry, two weeks constantly with my family. i love them, i do, but sometimes, it's just a little hard. i did have a good time though. i felt so relaxed and less worried and things, so it was nice. but it just didn't feel like normal life.
however, in the process, i feel like i missed SO MUCH. but the girls told me max just randomly asked after me, which made me really happy. i miss that boy more and more every day. i wish everyone could meet him and talk to him and just understand that he is one of the best people on this earth. i wish i was exaggerating, but i'm really not. i find it so hard to have to watch him get engulfed by fans, or screamed at because he is more human than they'll ever realise. but at least i know there are some people who understand.
the few days that i've been back have been strange too. i ended up in a car with my best friend to visit her new boyfriend - who's ex is apparently katy, of the 'what katy did' fame, mmhmm - at his shows in glasgow. which was great for me really because it meant that i got to see my scottish girls so soon, even though i didn't think i'd be able to. massive happy times. i totally adore them. and kara let us stay at hers which was amazing. i love just chatting to her about so much stuff. we pretty much stood outside of the venue all show just talking about everything. i wish she lived closer. i wish they all did. and it was just so so nice to talk to her about everything that's gone on, and we could miss them together.
relating back to best friend, i am getting on with her at the moment. we have such a fucked up relationship sometimes. some weeks we just don't speak, she does her thing, i do mine. then other times we're inseperable. we miss each other's presence. it's so weird. i like her new boyfriend though, but i think things are a little too fast. they're talking about marriage already which is reasonable, because of their religion i guess, but still. i like to make jokes so i don't feel as awkward. jokes about their wedding being full of bands, most bands members crying. who the hell knows anymore.
but right now, things are okay. she likes manchester orchestra and i can't get enough of them, so we're in harmony for the time being.
life's strange. but you gotta keep going. more to be said later, time to see craig.

okay so.
tumblr just told me this funny thing.
it told me that this year's alternative press fall tour will include the following bands:
set your goals
mayday parade
the academy is
you me at six.
............hello, what the fucking hell. honest to god, what is going ON?
|
|
| i really never ever post here. |
[04 Jul 2009|01:49pm] |
so, um, what's been going on in my life? not entirely sure.
i finished uni, i sat one exam, i don't think i've failed.
i developed an addiction for disposable cameras.
i went to slam dunk festival for thirteen hours and ended up in a room full of crying girls. not the best night of all time. however, thomas howe and casey roarty saved the day due to their drunkness. it was amazing.
we saw the blackout and i apparently thought it was appropriate to touch sean smith's stomach. i was drunkkkk.
i got my passport stolen when i went to york to hang out with tonight is goodbye. we got told secrets and i think my issue of kerrang may have broken their hearts. i miss them a whole lot.
i turned nineteen and went to paris for a day and a half to see that dumb band that seem to hold a good chunk of my life in their hands. frontman bought us pizza and wouldnt let us pay. drummer graffited pictures of trace cyrus in some magazine we found. it felt like old times.
one of my friends missed my birthday. i still can't decide if she's made up for it yet.
me and my friends have been given free t in the park tickets so that i get to see lady gaga and katy perry and you me at six and the killers. i wont believe it til we're there if i'm honest.
i visited my friends art exhibition for uni and was a little blown away.
i messed up my sleeping pattern.
i went to birmingham and it rained. i went to london and it rained. i also saw brand new twice and i adored it.
i fell in love kevin devine when we were stood chatting to him and he burst into 'panic' by the smiths.
i am going to dublin too, for my birthday present from fiona, to see manchester orchestra and kevin devine.
right now, i'm just biding my time.

I just got some very bizarre news regarding you me at six, an american label and a possible tour in the works with a MASSIVE band. I actually started shaking when I was told. Its so weird, so so weird.
I'm on the train to leeds to see faye and for fightstar tonight, forever the sickest kids tomorrow. Good weekend ahead!

i technically can't even afford to even think about going to any date but tbs and underoath!
and tours not even fully booked and it's getting scary, but it's a MONTH away. god.

i just got back from a seven hundred hour megabus journey from london. it hurt me, and the tiredness is clinging to me.
i am pretty sure i'm going to appear in some form of metro station video, my friend had her bag stolen and i discovered that the electric ballroom is a very nice venue. bar the bag stealing.
it was a trip indeed.
and i love american apparel. sorry :[

currently drowning in shakespeare, milton, wordsworth, blake and coleridge. by gosh, i did not miss january exams.
i just got super happy and excited because i literally JUST found out that one of the girls i go to newcastle shows with is a chris fan! which makes me immensely happy because i can hopefully drag her along to speakings now :D
andddddd we started booking tour last night which was an experience and a half.

i dislike january quite a lot. today i took matthew to school and have been since 8.30am. i only fell asleep at 6am :[
anyway! i'm out to get some opinions. for my next journalism assignment, i'm constructing a news article based upon a recent local piece and i've chosen newcastle and sunderland universities' banning of blood donations within the student union, on the grounds that the national blood service has homophobic regulations.
see: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/education/universityeducation/3440111/Student-unions-ban-blood-donation-adverts-for-discriminating-against-homosexuals.html
i'm speaking to newcastle university's president about it all, but it got me wondering what other people are thinking of it. so you should really hit reply and let me know :D

i don't feel like i can go a new year's eve and not do some sort of summary, round-up thing, but i don't have a whole lot of time. i wanted to write a whole big thing of memories and stuff, but i just don't have the time or energy really :[ but i will talk about some amazing things. talk...... or ramble? i apologise in advance.
this year has been very strange for a lot of reasons. for one, it's been one of the hardest years for me emotionally. i've told a lot of my friends that on paper, this is probably the worst year of my life. but then i just don't think it has been. 2008 will always hold some amazing memories for me; some that are far too good to be completely real, surely?
this year, well, my first great memory, and the one that i'll cherish for a long time to come is definitely the start of february. the twloha/ rocket summer shows, featuring between the trees.
those few days have genuinely changed my life. i think back to spending those days with some of my best friends - roisin and fiona, i is looking at you - and i just still don't understand how it all worked. we had amy deciding to come to manchester last minute, me breaking down before a between the trees interview and then ryan SOMEHOW recognising me as 'sarah who was doing the interview', and jamie sitting me down and just talking. we had delayed trains and keys locked inside sheen's flat, and a cancelled fucking show. yet, somehow, we got to manchester in time, without losing any money, we got back into sheen's flat and we still saw the only band i had really planned to watch.
then the fact i went and ate pizza with these dudes that ... well, i can't even describe it without wanting to cry or something. but i just can't get over it. i hope i never do. i love those boys, and the people i was with, so much. and to have them love me back - which i didn't doubt for a second - was more than i could ask for. true story.
there were tightly held hands during my heart, tears shed during 23, desperate hearts singing out loud during jamie all over.
then came the hard times, ucas and universities messing me around and me crying for about a solid month. i laugh about it now because it's all you can do, but i forgot how much it hurt. and it hurt so much. yet, that was just something to make me stronger.
then we have give it a name, and pictionary til 4am. absolute insanity. we have drunken nights out with band boys who i'm so stupidly proud of. telling them of dreams that they'll one day play arenas, and knowing that it's really not far away.
i've got so many random memories of people singing soulja boy, umbrella and i wanna love you to me? it's strange!
i've managed to sit down and interview some amazing people this year - everyone from cartel and you me at six, to adam siska and timmy mctague. who DOES this? i just don't get why i get to do it.
i've spent a night laughing at sean smith and his ridiculousness. i've stood sidestage, i've been on a bus, i've been in dressing rooms around the country and it still feels strange, but not unnatural.
i've had actor obsessions with christian bale, zac efron and robert pattinson. i've seen twilight five times so far. let us not judge me too harshly.
i managed to spend the end of my summer drowing in mud, sweat a few tears! dancing at 3am on a muddy 'dancefloor' to rage against the machine in the rain? nothing gets much better than that.
i started university, and fair enough i decided on the day of my results, but who really cares? i've made new friends and it's good stuff. not entirely what i had been preparing myself for, but i sure did show ucas in the end.
i saw fall out boy! and old friends at the same time. i've witnessed a new found glory 'choose your own setlist' show and i loved it. i've watched a band i loved years ago headline a room full of too many people, and i've watched a band i loved years ago headline a room full with too little people.
i managed to spend a week on the road and have an amazing time, with martin and his 'tiiight' and max being stupid but adorable. i stood and talked to max about something i didn't think i could and it helped beyond belief. and i cried during too many songs.
i saw my aunty for the last time, and i went to my first funeral. that still hurts too, but i know she's proud of me.
the thing is, how could i ever really say this has been the worst year of my life? who am i kidding?
but bring on 2009.

yesterday, we went to see twilight. apart from already having watched a shitty download - wow, desperate - i thought 'meh, it'll be a bit better on the big screen'. oh my lord, how i was wrong. it was EPIC. just ridiculous teenieness everywhere.
like, i got in late so literally just got some chocolate, ran in and missed any craziness. then people, well, girls, started squealing when it first started. like, i'm talking that black screen that tells you the certificate? oh yeah, that got more squeals than gerard in his holey trousers.
so i'm sat there, already lolling in my seat when i realise, my friends managed to sit themselves directly infront of four older girls who are clearly in the know about their twilight. and they're the kinda jaded, older reader that's stillll a little bit bitter about things? but they were just cackling away, and saying the lines before the actors did and basically saying everything outloud that i was thinking. highlight: the kissing scene when the girl behind me just went 'DOES SHE HAVE ANY PANTS ON?!'
but yes, i'm a teenie. i inwardly squeal. and i sure as hell inwardly cringe. it's a pretty horrible film but i love it anyway. why?! who knows? i mean, no self respecting actress could have really done the whole diamond skin scene but hey, she managed.
the best bit is though, when we came out, there was a massive queue of all these twelve year old girls. i know the stereotype of twelve year old girls being teenie is bounded around a LOT. but these were genuinely twelve and thirteen.
BUT THEY WERE ALL WEARING HOMEMADE TWILIGHT TSHIRTS. it made my life complete. truly and utterly. the winner had to be the 'obsessive cullen disorder' shirt though. it just made me stupidly happy.
god i need to get new kicks.
otherwise, i've finished uni but i'm not ready for christmas. tonight's my last shift at work until the 28th yayyyyyy and i'm going to see the blackout on the 27th.
ps. natalie, i'm sorry for another twilight post. i just had to express it.
