Time for another blog, sorry that my blogs recently haven't been as casual as I used to post.

So, right now we're on our 2 weeks holiday off school, and unfortunately it ends this Monday (when we go back). They've been good and haven't been as boring as I expected.

Beginning of the week I went to Primrose Valley caravan site down York for week, it was good but because of the cold weather we couldn't do a lot of the things we wanted to do. But we did go to the Sea Life Centre and it was really cool, we watched the Sea Lions get fed, and had a look at Sharks and other aquatic animals, and I even stroked a Starfish! >.<

Today I went to the MetroCentre with Kenny, we got a bus, two trains there and a train back, at first it was a little confusing as neither of us have taken any trains to there before, but we figured it out (eventually). When we were there I finally bought a bag I could use for school (a Ramones bag for £26 kinda a rip off I know but I was DESPERATE for a new one) and we got some new grip tape for Kenny's skateboard from SkateShack... and her Dad ended up accidentally splitting the wood on the board. While we were at the MetroCentre we managed to bump into Iron Man and got a photo taken with him!
And no it's not a statue for those wondering! :P
We also visited JG Windows and it turns out  you can do works experience there, and i've also spotted a guitar and it's amazing for just less than £200! An Epiphone Les Paul in black!


 But that's the problem i'll have 4 electric guitars if I buy this one... but 1 bass. And though I love playing guitar i'm primarily a bass player, once we get a vocalist and possibly another guitar player for the band i'm in (unless the vocalist plays guitar as well) i'll move on as the bassist for the band because bass is my calling! :3 but it's a hard decision (despite the fact everyone I know says "buy a bass!" :L)

Anyways, onto something different now...

During the week my friend wants to meet up with me because she wants to do some busking in the town and wants me to play guitar while she sings, awesome, it's a great way to let people know her talent and could even get my band recognized!

Speaking of my band, we finally have our first proper band practice tomorrow at The Bunker instead of practicing in school. It's going to be awesome, hopefully everyone can get there, the more the merrier!

It's 10:47, it's Saturday night, i'm watching South Park and eating food, it can't get any better than this? (Although I could be out partying if I had friends).

Today has been a good week, all throughout this week we've had no lessons at all because we were all doing an employability course. It may sound boring, but it was actually really fun, and we all passed (meaning we all got an B, that contributes towards our GCSE's).

Tuesday was good also (kinda) because aside from not having lessons we got sent home early, this is because one of the school's water pipes got accidentally drilled into and burst, meaning we got sent home. Originally I was going to practice with my band, but because of the closure it wasn't possible, so I just went out with my friends instead.

And here is the highlight of Tuesday:... - I fell over the top of a scooter, because I was going down a bank, and accidentally hit the front brake, which resulted in me removing skin off my hand, mild grazes on my elbow and only just the other day I noticed holes in my jumper. But that's not the best bit, I almost fainted too. No, I did NOT hit my head, and no i'm NOT afraid of blood, but apparently I went into shock and began to feel dizzy, my eyes couldn't focus, I got really disorientated (I couldn't co-ordinate when walking), I felt sick and could hear a high-pitch noise, went really pale, I was ready to close my eyes... and then almost fainted... even though I didn't.



The funny thing is, I almost passed out in a health center... in which nobody came to ask if I was even alright and instead got yelled at when we were in the toilets trying to get water to clean the blood off my elbow. Good thing my friends helped me, actually, when I came around we were all kinda laughing about it (though my mam who came to pick me up was petrified).

Wednesday, nothing much happened, and on Thursday I done a workshop with The Young Americans, but I couldn't do the proper rehearsals and dropped out altogether because it was too much hassle for my mam to drive to the Metro Radio Arena twice a day, and then back.  On Friday, the last day of the course, we finished up our work and then our awesome teacher/mentor/dude went out and bought The Expendebles 2 and a shitload of sweets for us, he was also Scottish and absolutely hilarious.

And then that leads to the Saturday, all I did today was go through my Nana's and Granda's house to see them, then went to Byron's Place (a very small shopping center), come back, got my eyebrows done, watched tv until I wrote this up.



Yup, it's been a good week.

Sorry I haven't blogged for a while, it's almost been a month, whoa.

Just last weekend I moved into a new house so everything's been a bit hectic and as well as i've had no proper internet connection, so I haven't been able to access anything, unless I went on my mobile but unfortunately that costs money for me.

But anyways, i'm back, so here's how things have been going:

School has been decent recently (for me at least), i've had multiple band practices with Jay (which have been insanely hilarious, one time Jay threw a pair of drumsticks at our friend Max because he was interrupting us recording constantly, and the drumsticks hit him in the balls), and we've got a dude that can play guitar for our band, he's actually a friend of Jay's, and he says he likes stuff like the Red Hot Chili Peppers, The Beatles etc... i've seen him around school a few times, but i've never really spoke to him, he seems cool though :3

Today I went to the town with my friend Nikita to buy something for our mams for Mother's Day, and while we were there, I ended up getting a large McDonalds meal and Nirvana's 'In Uteros' album. (Speaking of albums, I put all 28 of my CD's back onto my computer onto iTunes because my Dad completely wiped the computer, I spent 3 hours transferring them all, worth it though). And tomorrow for Mother's Day i'm going out with my family, and my cousins, Aunt and Uncle and others for a meal :D

And also, I can't wait to get back to school? Surely that's a weird thing to say, but all of our year are doing this employ-ability course, which means no lessons all week at all, plus you get a B GCSE at the end of it, so  it's going to be awe-some, and apparently it's canny fun as well.

That's whats been going on so far...
