A year of blogging

Well yesterday, was the 1st anniversary of the day I first posted on this blog and it has been a fun year filled with many exciting and sometimes slightly scary things.

I've left school for one thing although I'm not sure that has really sunk in properly just yet. I think it prob will more when I hopefully get my GCSE results in August. I've also been to many different places and been introduced to the world of street teaming and film conventions. Oh and I've also been to a casting call for Harry Potter which although I didn't get anywhere is a pretty cool experience to have.

Anyway before I get to reminisent (is that the right word?) I'll update you all on the last week. I went to Canary Wharf which was good as I hadn't been there before, quite a few huge glass buldings and small green parks. I also went to get myself a wristband so that I could get into Paolo Nutini's* signing in London the next day. I wasn't sure whether I couldget into his gig on Friday so decided I'd go up to the signing. He sung 5 songs despite the heat. I got my photo taken with him and he signed my album. I did think whilst standing in a hot queue that had I forseen this I could have tried to meet him before he got all these excited fans ;-P as I've been going to his gigs since I think 2004. I follow quite a few small/unsigned artists/bands and I think it will be unlikely (although great if it did happen) that all of them will achieve the success that they deserve so I'm pleased to see Paolo doing so well (he's just been given a gold disc!) atleast and I do hope that he wont be the only one.

So after spending the hottest two days in prob one of the hottest places - London, I decided to go to the beach on the colder day (o.k so it wasn't exactly cold but there was a bit more of a wind) which I guess was better as it meant I didn't get too hot. I had a good time though, I've been to different beaches in the past few weeks as my dad has been off work so he has been able to take me. he's back to worj next week though which means I need to find myself a job or something to do.

In the end I did manage to get into the Paolo gig last Firday and do the street teaming although in the end none of my friends that I asked could come so I arranged to meet up with some random person from the UKU site. I did have my dad with me (which was good as he was able to ring him whislt I recovered from being feeling ill) so it wasn't a completely stupid thing to do and as it happened he was nice enough and who he had said he was, thankfully. On the Saturday I went on a boat to have a disco although it was still good it wasn't as good as it has been before when I've been on them.

This week I've been to see Riccardi ** in Fulham which was good although the venue was small and hot. Tomorow I've got a aparty that I've been invited to. I also have a few more gigs that I'd like to go to in the next few weeks so that'll give me something more to blog about. I also recnetly found out about a cool new years eve party being done by www.showmastersonhline.com/forum which sounds interesting although a little way off yet and maybe not a good thing to go to by myself.

* If you haven't heard of Paolo Nutini or have but want to know where to go to find out more visit - www.paolonutini.com.
** A little bit more plugging for my fav bands at the moment lol - www.riccardi.co.uk.

Thanks. Happy belated anniversary to you too. :-)

It is strange, especially when I think that some things that I've shared with people on here are things I might not let my parents read. :-P :-)
