i feel writing these blogs feels more and more foreign each time. i still haven't even typed up a manchester blog yet, and in my drafts is a really long post about the paul premiere last feburary? kind of silly.

i spent my proper summer at work mostly. kind of gutted i didn't go on holiday, but i have been to plenty of places this year i suppose. i'm hoping i can make one more oxford/london visit this year, but right now it's hard to tell if it's possible. i suppose my amazing summer plans were all before i started work.

had a plumber at the house for a week, and it was probably the most annoying part of my summer. unnecessary early mornings and walking to the pub to use the loo, SIGH.

3 of my highlights of my summer (during working months) were;

3) seeing public image limited. with my dad. i'd never been to a gig with my dad before, which is weird since i pretty much grew up listening to the music he likes. though i was never crazy about anything john lydon, i think this show has made me see things differently about him. i think my favourite part was hearing that the whole tour was funded using the money from the butter adverts he did.

2) my tattoo. i think i've already explained it in a blog. i know when when i'm older, the tattoo will be a reminder of this summer, amongst other things.  

1) seeing blink-182 in manchester with liv. i'd like to do a separate post about this if i ever end up with the time. i still can't get over that we got to see them again. and even aside from the blink show, it was the best time i've ever had with liv.

i can't believe it's all over now. i've started university, and it's weird. trying to adapt to the 2 metro rides, i'm not sure if i'll ever be used to that. i do think it is (or will be) worth it. it promises so much that i never got in the past 2 years. the people who are just starting their 1st year there probably don't understand how privileged they are.

it turns out i forgot to post this yesterday. whoops. hi.
