The Banned! Network
Posted Mar 30, 2003
I had a gig on Firday night. Not just any gig. THE gig. WE rocked off so many socks that the floor was strewn with odd ones! We were on secong, following Plug (bless them, they were ace), and at first Adam and Chris played their accoustic guitary effort. They later got yelled at for going on too early! Anyway, we were really well recieved, especially "Misguided" as something was up with Thom's guitar, so he stopped playing, and then Ad went to help him, but me and Robin kept going, and they both came back in again perfectly! Here's to professionalism! "Gravity" went down really well as well (pardon the pun!), as we all went mental, and Thom did his usual thing and ended up wriggling about on the floor! Ace!
The Banned Network guy seemed quite impressed with us, as he said he wanted us to do another gig in Northwich, and we exchanged numbers. Plus they made over £200 profit (so hopefully I'll get a grand total of £12.50!), so it was a very worth while exercise. The Plays and Drawn From Blank were also ace (but Terry told us we were the best, not to brag of course!) Thanks to everyone who turned out to support us (especially DoctorMO and his trusty steed-his bike), and thanks especially to the Banned!Network! You guys rock!

Leeds Baby!
Posted Aug 26, 2002
I've just returned from the Leeds Festival. Dispite it having been a really fantastic weekend, I am now very very glad to be home! I made some very odd mates, set fire to stuff, burnt my bras, ate pringles, moshed, fell over, got covered in crap...
We arrived on the first day (after having been pushed out of the car on the motorway by my ever-loveing father), having walked for ages to find a damned camping space, and ended up at the top of a big hill, near a pissing wall. Lovely. We sat about after putting pur tent up, listening to the people next door singing "Don't Step on the Worm". At about midnight, we had to go and find the other half of our posse, who had come in through a different entrance, and so we couldnt find them. The dinkises.
Friday was fun, Amen would have been truely great, if the bassest hadn't broken a string, the microphone hadnt stopped working, and the amps hadnt blown up. Reels Big Fish, to my horror, didnt turn up due to "unforseen circumstances". Evil. That was supposed to be the highlight of my day!
Saturday brought Feeder! To see them made me so proud! Props to Mark Ritchardson for being truely great! Also to "random extra" guitar guy. That night we made lots of very strange friends by going round and asking if anyone had any socks to burn. Some of them did too. That night I learnt that it is truely liberating to burn ones bras. Pete also found that his boxers are not the great fuel that at fist they might appear. John also got very drunk and did his "gay dance". We finally got to bed at about ten past six.
Sunday was mad, having got up after 3 hours sleep, I was wondering round in a bit of a daze. Saw Vex Red (and fell madly in love with the lead guy all over again-his voice is sooo sexy), Andrew WX, A (awww...Jason) and to top it off Jimmy Eat World! They rocked! That night we didnt go to bed at all, but stayed up laughing at people rioting and blowing up port-a-loos (they deserved it!), and watching Ben set his crotch on fire. I have pictures. Nice. Also, Pete and John were playing with fire, whereby they set the end of a toilet roll on fire and were dancing about with it! Freaky. Pete also decided he would begin to write a parody song about Stef's hairy ass (cos he was on the phone at the time). At about three we packed up the lads tent, then we said good bye, and marched off to Sainsbury's to get a taxi, then a train home. We got in at about 8 o'clock. Its so very nice to be home.

"Gay" Levels
Posted Aug 15, 2002
So, I know AS levels are no where near as important as A levels, but that doesn't make it any easier to find out that you've done badly. Not even badly, just "below expectation". Then you listen to the radio, and some daft polition, who probably only got 2 O levels, and no A Levels, is going on about how "exams are getting easier." Right. No one seems yet to have noticed that people do A levels becasue they want to better themselves. Its no longer complulsory education people! We're there becasue we want to be. This in itself should be reason enough for A Level results to be good. Having a 94% pass rate at A level doesn't proove that the government is dumbing down the exams. It prooves that we are working our asses off. So well done to everyone who got what they wanted and deserved, and comiserations to those who didn't. xxx

For Want of a Postcard...
Posted Jul 25, 2002
Just got back from Barcelona with Vale Royal SC Band, and it was bloody fantasitic! Why wouldn't it be if the legal drinking age is 14? Despite the obvious "Over 18s only can drink, and then only in moderation, and only when accompained by a member of staff!" Basically the members of staff got trollied and called it work! As did my sister and her mate. Thus early morning sex talks were in order (highly entertaining and informative, whilst at the same time "EW!") Appart from the dihoeah (not mine Ill have you know), the attempted suicides, and everyone elses doomed holiday romances (mines going just fine still thanks 
) it was brilliant! Graham Bunting is the most horney little freak Ive ever met in my life (appriciated only by those who know him I know!). He was going round everyone! Succeeded with two aswell (one of whom was 20!). I have to say that I didnt understand that at all! I was also very unimpressed when my title of "Loudest on the Coach" was unjustly stolen from me by a thirteen year old! Its just not right! Also dyed my hair red again, though you cant really tell. The life guards were pretty alright too...
