First things first - to any budding artist out there - if you go on tour and you headline - please make sure that you play for more than 60 minutes - there is nothing more frustrating than waiting for a gig to start; sometimes having to put up with a shit support act, to then watch your chosen band play for less than an hour before leaving the stage for good. This has happened to me twice and both times I truly believe neither band was big enough to get away with it i.e. if the Foo's or Muse played for 5 minutes, I'd leave the gig happy. My Chemical Romance and The Ting-Tings have both pissed me off now and it's not good enough. Yes, I understand that maybe your target audience will have a 10pm curfew from their parents but still, that's your problem, not mine. Start your gig earlier if you're that concerned! mad Hmmmmmmmm, rant over (to be honest I wasn't in the mood Thursday night anyway so when she said it was their last song, I was quite happy to go home but that's not the bloody point!) tongue

My new lodger moved in on Monday - she may as well have trouble written on her forehead. I was sitting in the bath earlier on tonight having a soak with my lovely stash of lush products (sorry xALICEx! xx) and I suddenly thought there is only one letter's difference between trouble and troubled - we will see if this girl wants help or not - I suspect not but it's early days. My official role as support worker starts on the 1st October - I look forward to it.

I have lots of things going on in my head right now but it's all so muddled that I know if I blogged about it, it wouldn't really make any sense.

After being so 'up' last week, I've been pretty 'down' this week - going away from home for a few days always puts me out of sync so I'm hoping that's why. There is also a very important date approaching which I'm looking forward to/dreading - it will be emotional for sure. I'm currently debating whether to let Stinky know about it or not although my instinct screams NO! I kinda wish time would move quicker in some respects yet in others I wish it would slow down a bit - a boy that I used to kiss when I was 13 turned 35 this week and it rocked me a bit frown

I'm not going to go on anymore, I've said more than I planned to already.
