i suppose i have an hour to kill cause i want to see if i can get orange wednesday tickets at midnight. usually typing a load of bollocks on here takes up enough time.

god, what has happened since i last updated? haven't posted anything proper since june, it's like half a month til september now. i guess it's cause i've decided to write a journal now. it's not really that much different from blogging. i dunno, it's nicer, i can express myself more in it. it's probably the only book i'll ever write.

i don't even remember anything interesting to happen before i went to paris. it was really the most beautiful city, really miss being there. okay, i typed a load of crap saying i would do a separate paris blog, but i guess i'll just bullet point highlights i can remember:

• creepy asian woman i had to sit on on the flight who wouldn't put her bag in the luggage part.
• "do you have any rubbish?" "no thanks" - nice one leyla.
• once we got to paris, and put our stuff in the hotel, we decided to stroll by the eiffel tower, bare in mind this was like around midnight, there were still a few people hanging out. marc decided he wanted to have a run, which we all thought was pretty bizarre. there were police close by cause there was a mysterious bag that someone left, and they thought marc had left it, and they stopped him, omg. it was so stupid.
• not long after that leyla fell and fell facing up, like what she did at dickies, omg. it's her thing now. spin falls.
• tuesday, first full day. queued 4 hours to get to the top of the eiffel tower. totally worth it. got to look down on everything. really, paris is such an astonishly pretty city, can not get over it.
• moulin rouge, pigalle, creepy places.
• went to hippo again, omg, we should've learnt from last time, but it wasn't that bad. they just hire young people who don't know english.
• inception bridge was like 5 minutes away from our hotel, wwwwooooo
• 1 euro wine, basically a couple of pence in GBP.
• wednesday, stanley kubrick exhibit, a clockwork orange and the shining are 2 of my favourites, i still really have to watch them again after that. oh man, i met my doppleganger there too. same hair, except she had a pink fringe. she had the cutest polka dot peter pan collar dress, and dr marten mary jane's. mannnnnn.
• ate my first ever macron, lushly raspberry flavoured.
• auuuuuuuuuuuuux champs elysee, doodoodoodoodooooooo
• had a mcdonalds mcbeer. apparently you weren't allowed to take them out the cafe, but i took it out. rebel or? but really, i thought it would be out of a fountain thing, it was just a can of lager.
• thursday, versailles. beautiful palace, god aaaaaaaaaaahhhhhghgh.  honestly was stalking michel gondry when we were in the town, but sadly never found him. i will find him one day.
• went back to champs elysee, saw 'midnight in paris', very suitable film being in paris, but really doesn't come out in the uk forever, and i was dying to see it. it was really cute, owen wilson, very wes andersony, so it fed that fix.
• friday, the louvre. we really spent loads of time there, it's massive, but aaaaagh. i met mona lisa in real life, wow wee. yes, i did sing panic! at the disco at it, no shame.
• pretty sure we got pizza that day awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww
• saturday, salvidor dali exhibit. was kinda cute, never really looked at his stuff since high school art when my art teacher complained i was poo at art research, like fuck you i have a salvidor dali book, i saved latin, what did you ever do?
• got food poisoning from one of the grilled cheese things i was so excited to try. total let down. least favourite part of the holiday. wasn't very helpful going in the pigalle shops with a storm in my stomach. really though, it was like one of the top 5 worst experiences in my life ever ever ever. and i had to miss michel gondry film screening, fuck you cheese toasty.
• sunday, cemetery search. was so hot, felt like joining the dead people. but really i wasn't ill.
• hard rock cafe, ate for the first time in 24 hours, and basically ate just the chips and left everything else, set me back 21 euros. omg though they were playing the ramones and radiohead. i found an old tom delonge photo on the wall too, homie.
• monday last day waa waa waa notre dame was canny pretty though
• 9 euro for a coke for marc and liv omg  
• okay this took up all the time it's not even everything.

then after only 2 days home, i had rebellion fest. never been to blackpool before, really was expecting it to be better, but it was just like being at a different part of whitley bay sea front that i'd never seen before.
the b&b owner was obsessed with me. i know it's pretty stupid coming from me considering the way i dress, but i don't like loads of attention. he complimented me every single time he saw me, compared me to amy lame. i don't know much about her other than she's a lesbian, which is great, after spending my high school years convincing everyone i wasn't a lesbian :-)
oh god, standing in the queue behind the biggest poser couple i'd ever met. they never knew mouthwash broke up, and thought that because they're playing reading and leeds, that they definitely hadn't broke up. idiots. and the girl was coming out with shit like "got some of the clothes during my emo phase" "used to wear the best make up when i was a goth" "I'M NOT THE PUNKIEST PUNK HERE, WHAT THE FUCK"
erm i should've done the bullet point thing with this too, oh well. i have 10 minutes til an hour has past, so maybe just going to share a couple of cool bands.

• world/inferno friendship society, acoustic and electric sets, CUTE BAND!
• old firm casuals, lars frederiksen (oh bumped into him earlier in the day, second time's a charmy) not really into the new skinhead obsession of his, but really wasn't all that bad knowing he's from rancid (sad)
• OFF! killed it. probably my favourite set of that day. so amazing seeing keith morris live, for someone whoes almost 60 he's got so much fucking energy. he handled heckling amazingly "i've heard worse" and told that bastard off. plus his emotional moment, the tears in his eyes. christ geuoahoieghg. such an inspirational man.
• creepshow, band i've liked for a while, but clearly didn't listen to enough of beforehand. cute though.
• restarts, i liked what they were saying, really smart. got to listen to more of them.
• a wilhelm scream, hardcore, kind of out of place, but i enjoyed them. bass guy wouldn't stop looking at me, jeez. had an appropriate song title "me vs morrissey in the pretentiousness contest"
• BOUNCING SOULS!!!!!!!! highlight of my weekend. god, really perfect experience. right at the barrier. goosebumps, i really relate to so many of their songs right now, i just felt it all the way through. i had never been squished like that in ages, loads of alcohol over me, it was what i'd been missing dude. oh and greg high fived me, CUTE LIFETIME.
• GBH, the damned, eeeeeeehh was tired but at least i can add them to my list.
• random hand, never do a shit performance, yeeeeeeeeeaoooooooo
• street dogs, been waiting to see those, finally. pretty cute.
• capdown, excellent. joe got to crowdsurf too. robin from random hand joined him, omg.
• the dickies. basically did what they did when i saw them less than a month ago, but really, how do they have the energy to do it all? always one of my favourites. oh and a couple of girls threw bananas off them, sassiest idea EVER.
• pennywise, was a bit tipsey, so me and joe were in the sitting area not actually watching the band properly. there were 2 creepy skinheads kept looking at us, obviously nazi anti woman men, euuuurgh. but they pennywise had a nice set, i think next time they're playing i should go and actually watch them.
• the grit. they were amazing, but really i was not comfortable and this guy i met previously in the night was bugging me. god someone should've killed him.
• dirty revolution, aaaaaaaargh (acoustic and electric) new cuties
• the skints, another favourite from the weekend. they were drunk/high/something jesus.
• stza crack, need more leftover crack in my life now 
• the beat, really lifted my mood, a lot, god really perfect live, my favourite of that day.
• the adicts, wish i could've watched more of them, but arghhhhhhh
• jello biafra, i just wanted to hear his voice live, couldn't be fucked with new music, but apparently he played dead kennedy songs, the fucker.

 OKAY SO TIRED NOW, 1 HOUR 20 MINUTES TO DO THIS.
