Night out in Newcastle

 

Went up to the toon last night with three of my awesome girly mates for a night out. What a fun night it was, Its always awesome to catch up with my girls. Having not been out it Newcastle before I was slightly worried it would be all dance music but thought hey ho lets just go for it. The place we ended up in was mainly chart music which I don't actually mind, Easy to dance to and you mostly know the words to the songs so you can sing along (i'm all about the singing). So I mainly feel like I look like this....

When I actually look like this...
                                


And i'm Mclovin not the girl. 
disclaimer....I am neither of these people :/

Annyyway I like to believe that it it perfectly natural to try and channel the singer of whichever song is playing at the time, as i write this i feel it is becoming more and more evident that I cannot dance haha! So it turns out that chart music is really fun on a night out and i kind of loved it. So three of us got a taxi back and two others went in search of food and were going to follow on, now because we were staying with a friend, one that was in taxi number two it was decided that the two that were in the taxi would sleep on the sofas downstairs and I would sleep upstairs  so having been given the key I went into my mates room got my jamas on and sort of fell into bed but i was half awake waiting for her to come back, about twenty minutes later I can hear a drunken stumbling up the stairs, the door opens and in comes my friend, i obviously in my drunk state was like heeeeeeyy (still face down in the pillow with my eyes shut) and she said... are you hungry. Suddenly ravenous I can hear a box scraping and I am almost praising jesus, She has brought us pizza... I whipped round like "have you got pizza"?! and she handed me....


                              



A DRY CRISPBREAD, I said... are you taking the piss?! obviously I still took it and ate it, whilst complaining and asking if she had anything ANYTHING to put on it, cheese, peanut butter.. BUTTER even. If you have never had one, they taste a bit like dry compacted sawdust, then she then broke the news "oh I had a mcdonalds on the way back" Turns out she had a chicken sandwich. 
                               

Are you SHITTING me?!


Haha no in all seriousness I complained, ate the crispbread, got that many crumbs everywhere that we both practically had to sleep on a dry crusty crispbread. 


P.S. Do not eat crispbread drunk or you will wake up without one single drop of saliva in your mouth the next morning. (and a piece of crispbread stuck to your face) 


Love my ladies, Seriously.

King Charles

The sun is shining! YES! I can't wait for summer this year, I think sometimes you just need sunshine. Everything feels different on a sunny day rather than when its grey or gloomy!

Anyway, My lovely friend Clare called me last week to see if i fancied going to an impromptu gig in Durham, after umming and aaahing I thought what the heck.. and off we went, to see this rather dashing man King Charles 

Now if you haven't heard these guys simply watching them on youtube does NOT do them justice in the slightest, although still pretty darn awesome on the internet. These guys live are just super! Their lead singer Ooozes confidence but not in an arrogant way. The band behind him were faultless and the two dancing girls in the background just finished off this bizarre yet totally justified set up. let me take just one step back and say that as we stood by the bar and the king himself was sat at the merchandise store I whispered to Clare *he looks like a pirate, but I like it!*. despite the venue not being packed out the fans that were there sure made up for the numbers with their evident dedication, knowing and singing every lyric. They started off with two songs that immediately grabbed you and forced you to bop around with the rest of the crowd. But it was their third song Animal Desires that really sealed the deal. The big drums came out and so did the crazy dancing, though most of the song I alternated between looking on in awe and dancing around like a bit of a loon. As it came to a close I looked at Clare... Clare looked at me and we both said... THAT WAS EPIC!   


This was our faces 

And the guy has the coolest hair you have ever seen in your life, the face came out again when the hair came out! 
So basically this band knows how to party. Get yourself to a gig before they get massive and it costs a fortune. 


Here's a cheeky video x

It's Funny... Or perhaps not

Recently I find myself thinking about me, who I am and who I used to be, the naivety I had when I when I was a student when we left and crying because it was over even though I would be living with the same people the following year. Then I started to realise as I have grown older any goodbyes have been far less dramatic, "we will definitely stay in touch" a year ago I left a job where I worked with the most amazing women I have ever met and I have only stayed in contact with two of them. So in a way I'm starting to wish the goodbyes had been more substantial so they would at least know what they had meant to me.


 it seems its so easy for connections to get diluted as I get older and my core group of friends only grows smaller and it does sadden me. There is one friend who I miss really a lot and its entirely my fault that we aren't speaking, we haven't fallen out I think she just got sick of me cancelling or not replying and when I didn't go to her leaving party it was the last straw, the thing is this, how do you explain to someone the reason you can't go is that your life has come to a massive standstill and although I couldn't be more proud that you are going on an amazing adventure I can't believe it isn't me?


The thought of standing with a group of people I have known for years and hear all about what they have done and what jobs they now have when I have done nothing of note, I am unemployed and i have no idea what to do next was just too much to take. But guess was I given the choice again, I'd stop being a selfish cow and come give you a massive hug and wish you well, it sounds daft and I bet I'm someone who has zero impact on your life so what I did probably doesn't even bother you anymore. It bothers me, I think of what I should have done and how I could have been a better friend before I go to sleep and for the last two nights it has kept me awake till the early hours, thinking of getting in touch with you, should I send a card? Truth is maybe I'm doing this just out of catharsis just so I can sleep, like if I get it out somewhere then it can stop going round in my head, truth is I really miss you.
Really.

Is it just me or do days like this make you feel like actually, everything will be alright. Even though I always say I prefer winter because I hate being too hot, there's something pretty awesome about bright sunny days that remind you soon it will be summertime.
