Listening to: The Fame Monster - Lady GaGa
Here's the obligatory end-of/round-up-of-the-year blog. Even though it's not the end of 09 yet.
Anyway...
Well I'm so releived xmas is over for another year. It was less painful than I expected, but then again I did get my Lady GaGa ticket and a new phone amongst other things, so it wasn't so bad. Now I'm just glad that I can look forward to the new year and all the amazing things that are set to happen. That said, this year has had some low points - quite early on - and the only way to explain how I felt during that time would be: "I'm-so-annoyed-I-want-to-headbutt-a-sword". One thing that I really appreciated was the super-long summer holiday. I finished in June rather than July and didn't start college until September. In those three months I basically went into hibernation, hardly went out, stayed holed-up in my room watching Gossip Girl online for about two weeks straight. Good times. Despite all that, here's a list of things that happened to make 2009 memorable:
Being part of the Divino McMat crew
Seeing ML for the second time,
meeting Harry & Kev from Yashin,
Callum from Flood of Red
and Danny from The Audition.
Having a win of a 16th bday party
Passing my GCSE's
Going to Edinburgh and York
Bumming about all summer watching Gossip Girl
KHK Stickam chats
Madii's innuendo's on Twitter
Papa Schlumpf, Schlumpfine and Schlaubi (L)
Coming in 2nd in KHK Mission #8
Getting commented off Kill Hannah
Alice In Wonderland themed tea party
Seeing Yashin again at the most insane show ever
Meeting Paul (the legend) from Yashin
NOT going to see New Spoon
Founding the Fail Club & Cool Kids Club with Madii
Crowing Paul, the legend, the elite member of the CKC
Paul telling Madii to propose to Lewis
And now that I can look back and say, 'Yeah, 2009 was pretty decent' without any hint of sarcasm, here's a list of things I've got to look forward to in 2010. It's mainly concerts but what the fuck ever, here we go:
Kerrang! Tour - 03/2/10
Yashin Street Team Promo Day
'Put Your Hands Where I Can See Them'
'Screamworks: Love In Theory and Practice'
'The Asylum For Wayward Victorian Girls' book
Lady GaGa 'The Monster Ball' tour 4/3/10
Emilie Autumn 'The Asylum' Tour 7/3/10
H.I.M - 16/3/10
Yashin and Glamour of the Kill - 24/3/10
AFI - 11/4/10
My 17th
As you can see, March is my busiest month thus far. Part of my new year's resolution is to go to as many concerts as I can and...I think I've got a pretty damn good start. The thing is, most (US) bands tour early in the year/in the spring then we don't see them again until autumn/winter. I guess that's just how it works, but the US gets Warped Tour. We should have a UK version. Please.
I've just looked on my Top 25 Most Played list on iTunes and discovered that Angel by Madina Lake is my most played song of 09 with 80 plays. Meh, doesn't sound like too much but w/e. Then (looking at artists) we've got Kill Hannah, Metro Station (HOW?), Yashin and Emilie Autumn. Hmm...stats suck. So here's a list, yes another one, of bands/artists that sum up this year for me:
Kill Hannah
Madina Lake
Yashin
Lady GaGa
AFI
Emilie Autumn
The Blackout
Young Guns
My Passion
Patrick Wolf
Resolutions for the new year? I has none, other than going to concerts and the obvious 'try-to-be-healthier' thing. But one thing I want to keep telling myself is work hard and allow myself to have fun. I feel like I've spent a good portion of this year being too bitter and cynical about everything in light of everything that happened. Though that's a good thing. It's helped me prioritise things a lot more. Anyway, here's some photos that I feel sum up my year perfectly.
Until 2010, chow x
