Here Come's The Promise Of Summer

Ok, so i'm back from the almost journal/blog-free month I've just had, and my musings regarding the whole write-your-life-online-for-the-whole-world-to-see/judge-it catharthis are now threefold.

1) I actually miss it when I dont write for a while: not to mention these blogs have become even more illiterate and time consuming, so seeing as I am still attempting to scrape my way to A's in English, I should probably keep this up.

2) If I DONT write: I gradually become crazier and crazier, so unless I decided that walking around talking to myself like a loon (maybe with a bit of dribble going on?) is the way to go: I should probably keep this up, even if only for my delicate sanity.

3) One of my best girls checks this page religiously, and I love her (even more so with the buying of the book, which actually meant the worrrrrrld to me) so this one is for herrr



Summer is well and truly here, which should mean ice cream, sun cream and strawberries & cream amongst other things, but as this IS the UK, it's more likely to mean umbrellas, bitten legs and rainy beaches. But that's really ok, cause after listening to the wonderful Alphaville's track 'Forever Young' I've decided that living in the moment really is the best plan you can have. There aint no point in worrying about what you can't control. So over the past month(ish) I've literally thrown myself headfirst into having fun, and it hit me last night, while I was watching the shadows climb the walls, i'm actually really happy right now. And yes, I know whenever anyone writes that, everyone reading cringes and hides their face in their hands, because that one sentence can have hellish repercussions, as it just seems likes it's tempting fate.

But I don't care anymore. I reckon Cyndi Lauper was bang on the money, girls just want to have fun! Well, that's not all we want, but it's fo shiz top five, right? Life is way to short to spend it freaking out even when stuff is good because it can all turn around in lightning speed (hmmm sounds like a good song title ahaha) because then you lose the moments where things can go right and it makes the shitty stuff easier to handle.

Our band have recently played two shows to very different crowds. The show at the Forum gave me butterflies in a way previously only managed by boy shapes with lovely cheekbones. So many of our idols had played there, it was just insane. The actual set was plagued with technical problems, but people were so damn positive, it made me see the whole debacle in a new light (which may actually have been more to do with the ludicrus number of glowsticks/UV lights going on). The rest of the evening was rather enjoyable, if you managed to free yourself from the drama that always seems to linger hand in hand with any night outs with us...But it was a giggle, no harm, no foul right?

The second show was amazing in a totally different way, see we had literally one of our friends with us, which is usually what hypes us up before we go on, and i was (i aint gonna lie to ya) about five deep breaths away from free falling into a MAJOR hissy fit, because I was under the illusion that my family had stood me up. (They hadn't, and seeing my sister right at the front singing the words with me actually had be verging on tears) The band we were with were fucking fantastic, and made us that little bit more nervous. But we rocked it, and I actually loved it. The after show was even better, with us and Beef, the true fan =], making our first track for out hiphop side project, and generally laughing like goons.

I don't actually think there was a specific "theme" for this post, though maybe that would have made it more coherent, and readable..hmmm

laterssss
