2007 - Nope I couldn't think of a more interesting title

Well it has now been 2007 for a week so hope it has been a good start to the year for everyone.

Last year I had quite a few gigs and things planned around this time, this year I have tickets for one comedian, hopefully will get some for another soon and maybe for another at some point too but there is a rather sad list of no gigs to go to yet. I hope to see Tabby again this year so will have to keep an eye out for gigs, Albion have mentioned that there will be some exciting announcements soon so hopefully that will include some gigs. I also would really like to go to the Reading festival but will have to wait and see if that's possible this year or not. I have considered booking up to see The Feeling again this year but haven't done as of yet, and I wanted to see Paolo, but the London gigs are during the week so not practical thought knowing me, I'll give in the week before and go on a desperate search or bidding spree on Ebay lol. I do hope to see some of the not so famous bands/artists this year too and there's a few more famous ones that I'd quite like a chance to see. I want to try and out do last year but I'm not sure if will lol. :-)

Back to now, I've realised I'm really quite competitive, think Monica in Friends. I've been going to play pool with my bf a few times and well he beats me a lot, now I don't think I'm that bad in fact I have one or two really good shots (that may be luck but that's not the point ;P) yet I still seem to loose even if I catch up from far behind or am winning for a lot of the time and well I don't like loosing. Because of that I get what you might say is a little angry, not in the I'm going to go beat someone up way but in the I'm prob going to swear a little more than I normally do and hit the ball probably quite a bit harder than I should, resulting in either a good/lucky shot or the white ball going flying off the table and narrowly missing the people standing around the other table, who were thankfully people I knew from college but the fact remains I like to win. Personally I think perhaps beign an only child has had some effect on this, well that will be my excuse anyway and I feel I may be making a return trip to play again somewhen soon to try and prove I can win. :P I've just noticed I used the word somewhen, although apparently it isn't a word. I've used it for as long as I can remember and never realised that it isn't actually a word until it was pointed out to me. I'm not the only one to use it though but the people who don't (aka my bf :P) like to point out the fact it isn't a word, I have plans to get a petition or something with all the people I can find that use the word and send it to whoever writes the dictionary's, whether I'm actually sad enough to do that is yet to be seen ;) lol, if you do use the 'word' somewhen or have an opinion on it please leave a comment, would be interested to see how many people do in fact use somewhen.

In an attempt to regain any street cred I prob lost a long time ago I did do something a little cooler than arguing about the word somewhen and looking it up, I went shopping. I'm not a huge fan of shopping, mainly because I can never make up my mind, or they don't have what I want and I get fed up but it can be enjoyable for awhile, especially if you are in places with sales or cool things. I love Topshop, it is a fact that can't be denied, I could prob spend a lot of money in that shop, though with some of their prices that wouldn't mean buying a lot but I do get student discount which makes me feel happy. Today I bought two tops and a bag, the bag was the only thing in the sale, but the fact that it was a bag that I liked before it went into the sale was somewhat (which actually *is* in the dictionary! :S) satisfying. I also went into Claires, I don't often find anything of interest but today I found a guitar necklace that was half price from £3.50 which I though was a bargain and a very cool pirate themed coin purse with one of those catch things that I like because it kind of reminds me of old fashioned things, vintage would be the more impressive sounding word to use I think.

Talking of impressive sounding words, I have an English AS Exam this week, which I am a little nervous about, I've done some revision, probably not as much as I should have done but there is still time, I know most of the terminology but it will be a case of what texts I get, whether I can remember the words to use and whether I can put it all together make it sound impressive and make sense and actually answer the question being asked. Easy, then...

I also have a Media AS Exam the week after, but I am a little more confident about that as I got a higher grade in my mock though I'm still a little apprehensive of course. I also currently have coursework for my Media which we are just starting. I'm doing a film trailer, I got a video camera for Christmas, I've done my storyboards, so now I need to film it. This could be interesting seeing as my film is about pirates on a search for the truth about one of their ancestry. I have one costume, one willing volunteer and some prob rather ambitious ideas, yes interesting is definitely the word I'd use to describe trying to film this. I shall hopefully try and update you all with my progress with that when I can. Also if I get any gigs I shall probably come and let you all know.
