Friday night went to the village hall for "Foroxsake"'s gig! It was a lot of fun!

Paul James was there as the support act, he's just formed a new band called Tempest and their CD is coming out soon. It was great so see him again, and he was so good on stage!

Foroxsake were amazing. Gaz on drums, Mark DeVanche and keyboards, (Lebonese) Georgie on guitar, Fraz on bass and vocals and Rob Benson on percussion and vocals! They sound really good together. They didn't do any of their own material this time, just a range of covers from over the years.

I love Fraz, he's just so funny and so sweet! He's a darling, and Rob is wonderful! Georgie is a sweetie, as soon as he came in, he came over to our table to say hello and give us a kiss.

After the show was over, Gaz let my Dad on stage to play his drums, since my Dad has always wanted a drum kit!

The night was absolutely great!!

Saturday we went to the School Fayre and got some plants and won a bunch of stuff on the tombola. Worked on the pond and I rebuilt the pebble fountain in the middle of the garden. We had Nan over for a BBQ in the afternoon which was really nice!!

Went to bed 8pm Saturday and didn't get up til 12pm Sunday afternoon!

Spent the afternoon playing "Beneath a Steel Sky", I love Joey! He's great!!

YAY I got some first places in my icontests this week!! *so happy* My Awards Page.

I started an icontest of my own

tapout_icons, it's a weekly Wrestling icontest, but I need more members >.< *searches flist*

My kittens have been nicknamed "Fatty Dumplings" because they have snapped the hardboard on the top layer of their scratching tree. It was probably Tandy, because he's becoming a total little fatty! I need to take more photos of them!! I might do that in a while actually!!

I have a new hi-score on my dancemat - It's still not great, but it's good for me! 80,500!! Go me! It's really helping with getting me more exercise too! It's fun! I usually do 6-8 random tracks and then "Cha Cha Slide" - I don't particularly like the song but it's the one with the best moves.

Saturday night Mum, Dad and I went to the Village Hall to see 'For Rock's Sake' - Rob Benson and Lebanese Georgie perform live! As usual they were briiliant, and I actually got up and DANCED! (More than once)! Mum asked me if I'd been at the brandy since I was so keen to get up and dance. I had to take my boots off though since I had no sense of balance in them on the dancefloor.

There was a hog roast for the meal - It was delicious! I had it with jacket potatoe, rice, pasta and coldslaw! It was so filling though! I though I would die from overeating! Yet there were people on our table who had THIRDS! At least by the time we got to the roast it just looked like yummy meat and not a pig, I don't like seeing animal shaped meat - I'm strange like that!

My Dad bought himself a MP4 player *jealous* He keeps bragging about how much better than my MP3 player it is. No fair! I want a MP4 or a larger capacity MP3 player! ^_^ He passed it to me to show me the video he'd got on it and it was lesbian porn...ahem...Not the sort of thing you share with your Dad - wasn't even hot porn LOL!!

I got "The Movies" as a belated Xmas present from my brother and it rocks! It's quite addictive, I'm supposed to be playing FF7 during my free time, but my new game has kinda taken over. My brother is playing FF7 again since I made him watch AC on Boxing Day, he enjoyed it, but since it's been so long since he played the game he'd forgotten bits, so now he's playing it! Yay!

Wheeeeee Update time!!!

So October is gone and November is here...

One the 5th of October, Mum & I got invited to go to Nottingham to see the one and only Donny Osmond on part of his "In It For Love 2005 Tour". It was a rush to get finished at work and make it back in time for the ride to Nottingham, but we managed it, and it was a wonderful night! We bought an official programme and a Donny scarf (which my Mum stole to wave above her head throughout the show). The person who drove us there bought me a Donny keyring too.

The set was great, he did a wide range of songs, ranging from his new material, to early Osmond Brothers material, some from Joseph and the Amazing Technicolour Dreamcoat, some broadway classics. He did a lot of dancing, and the interaction with the crowd was amazing!!

On the 8th of October, we went down to the Village Hall for a charity event named "For Rock's Sake" in aid of British Red Cross. Rob Benson and Lebonese Georgie were playing, so it was obvious that I had to go!! I <3 my guys!! The show was great, a good mix of T-Rex, Pink Floyd, David Bowie, John Lennon, Guns n' Roses and probably some others as well. And as always I got my hugs and kisses from the boys, I swear Georgie gets sexier everytime I see him!!

On October 21st I went to see FOZZY at the Charlotte in Leicester. I had to catch the bus to Sleaford, then the train to Nottingham, then change there and get a train to Leicester. I got lost completely in Leicester, it took me forever to find the Charlotte >.< I had to ask about 20 people for directions at least! But eventually I found it and got to wait in the cold for like an hour before we got to go in. I'm not sure if there was a cloakroom - if there was I certainly didn't find it! So I had to carry my heavy luggage bag on my shoulder all night and it killed x.x

But the show was rocking! A nice mix of songs from all 3 albums. I was worried they weren't going to do "To Kill A Stranger" but they did it during the encore YAY! I really love Fozzy shows, they really get the crowd involved! And Rich Ward crowd surfed while playing guitar! He rules!!! Speaking of which, incase you haven't heard already I MET RICH WARD AFTER THE SHOW!!! I got to talk to him and have my photo taken with him and get a hug and also got his autograph yay!!

After the show I got lost AGAIN! And had some really nice people show me back to the station, from there I had to catch a train back to Nottingham, but then there was like a 6-7 hour wait, so I stayed at a B&B just 2 minutes from the station - if that! I stayed in a single room with a shower, it was a quite nice room, plenty of space for what it was!! There was a tv (which I didn't use since I didn't get there til gone 2am) and a kettle, with free sachets of tea, coffee, white sugar, brown sugar, milk and coffee whitener. The bed was pretty comfy, but the room was a little too hot! But it was somewhere safe to sleep! Though I don't know why I paid extra for a shower coz there was no hot water >.< so I had to boil the kettle and fill the sink to wash. But apart from tat it was okay. Breakfast was included in the price, but I skipped it to catch my train.

Once back in Sleaford, I had to do the shopping with Mum LOL! I was knackered when I got home!!

Well that's my gigs updated, I already uploaded my Fozzy photos, so I will leave you with KITTY PHOTOS!!!

( KITTIES )

Went shopping with my Mum yesterday...It was fun, apart from my fucked up manky toe...My feets hurt so much Mum ended up buying me a pair of man's fleecey slippers with hard soles just so I could walk erks!!!

I bought some arm/wrist bands...well actually I bought some fishnet style ankle socks, they came in a pack of 2 pairs, one black, one in hot pink, so I cut the toe bit off and cut a thumb hole in and I'm going to wear them as part of the punk chic look for this Saturday's Party in the Car Park, the black on top of the pink...I can't decide whether to stitch fingers in though >.<

Mum bought me Return of the King on VHS...I still haven't seen it LOL...I'll get round to it eventually LOL...I bought Disney's "Brother Bear" I watched that today...It's really good, a little confusing and very sad :(

OOOOOO also got a Tigger nightie....heeeee I lurves it!!!

Went to the dentist's today...My god my dentist is HOT...he is so damn fine...Too bad you have to lay there with your mouth open like a fish...He prodded all my gums and yet again I need no fillings!!! YAY!!! I just need my front tooth building up again...I smashed both my top front teeth when I was 11 and they just add stuff to make them look like real teeth, like a tooth cap or something and it snapped off at Christmas so I had a front fang since then LOL, there's also a little decay around that tooth only!

Getting my hair dyed tomorrow hopefully...A brighter version of Indian Summer...It's a LIVE colour range the shade is Intense Red I think heeeeeeeee it's like an orangey red :-D

Mr Big - To Be With You was on the radio this morning *squee* I LOVE THAT SONG!!!

My throat and head hurts so bad...Last night at the pub, someone was smoking Cannabis and it really set my asthma off bad, we had to leave the pub, I couldn't breathe, I was choking, I felt like my lungs were gonna explode and I was gonna pass out...I was gasping for air all the way home, now my throat is so sore from all the coughing and choking, my head hurts too from it...stupid drugs!!!

Wow...This was actually a pretty long update for me LOL...Laterz

I had the cassette tape for years and it's my Dad's and I lost it...oops...So I bought the vinyl record fr 50p in a charity shop and it was all scratched, but I got it transfered to CD and it took hours to do coz of the scratches...the needle kept getting stuck or jumping but I got it with NO jumps and only a few crackles!!! *pets my Muppets* Only problems with old Muppets is no Pepe or Rizzo :(

Current Mood: bored

Greetings and Salutations...

Once more I am updating...after x number of days!!!

Well what have I been upto? Not a lot really...Thursday I went to see Rob Benson perform at the pub and Friday I went to Carolyn's birthday party...Apart from that not much has happened!!!

I got a letter off Ian in the week...which I have to reply to soon...probably tomorrow if I get time!

I think I have found THE nicest Jeff Hardy picture in the entire world!!!

I think he looks really nice in it and HE DOESN'T LOOK LIKE BECKHAM!!!! *grrrrs*

I have started my stencilling in my room, but it's not going all that well...I think I may just do the one wall I'm on at the moment!

I finally finished my Matt Hardy sketch!!! The face is a little too long, but I'm quite pleased with it!!! Matt's eyes are really hard to draw because he has long feminine eyelashes, but really masculine eyes and trying to get that balance is hard!!!

( Lookit Here )

Not really a lot more to say...Oh I spoke to Pete on the phone last night when I was babysitting!!! And I'm going to have purple hair...It's sort of burgerndy at the moment, the purple dye didn't like the reddy/orange dye, so I'm getting another purple dye tomorrow so my hair is a decent colour ready for my interview at Somerfields on Thursday!!!

Greetings...

Well I am already missing Lorie and it's no where near time for her to be back online yet...I hope she's all hooked back by the end of September!!! But I got a letter off her on Thursday and another one this morning, and I sent my letter out to her yesterday so we're still keeping in touch which is cool!..She liked the bracelet I made which is also cool!!!

Picked up my A-Level results on Thursday...What a depressing day it was!!! I got an E in English and General Studies and a U in ICT...but we've had to query my ICT grade because two of the units of work I handed in were not graded!...So who knows? I may have scraped an E *crosses fingers*

Rob Benson performed at the Pub on Thursday, despite he had been in London all day doing some work for T.V!!! He was amazing though!!! And he gave me a big hug and told me me exam results were good and I shouldn't worry!!!

Also...We're writing a joint poetry book together hopefully, which will be super cool if we can get it off the ground!!!

I bought the Crow on Tuesday and have already watched it twice...I HEART BRANDON LEE...He was such a good actor and so dreamy!!!

I feel the ground above me fade away as I start to wake. I taste the fear in my killers as they begin to break. There is no hiding I see you through your disguise, I finally found you and now it's your turn to die.

Suddenly their came a tapping, as of someone gently rapping, rapping at my chamber door. You heard me rapping, right?

In light of my recent purchase, I decided to make a Crow/Eric Draven icon!!! *points* He's so dreamy!

Well I am off to do...stuff and save Tom!

Went to Rob Benson's birthday party on Tuesday, it was great fun!!! I gave him his present...(It was a black frame with a picture of Marc Bolan and Mickey Finn in it)...He liked it, apparently it's his favourite picture of them *grins* He also liked the card I got him!!!

There was live music and a buffet at the party and Rob even got up and performed some T-Rex songs!!! I got to have a chat with Rob...always fun!!!

Marc gave me a flower (one Rob had been given for his bday) and then Rob gave me the other and told me to look after them forever...So Mum and I have put them in a book to press them!!!

Ack...A million years since I updated...Well Thursday night I went to the pub with Mum to see George perform...He rocks...He is amazing on guitar!!! And he has a really unique voice!!!

Rob was there and at first I thought he was mad with me or something because he blanked me, but then he waved but still didn't speak, I was sat on the floor and he came and knelt beside me and chatted, he told me Paul Fenton was coming down and he'd let me know when they'd be in the pub, so he took my mobile number *giggles*

Yesterday was my official 1 Year Anniversary *smiles* I love her to bits, I wish I could have stayed online with her *pouts* But Rob texted me to tell me they were at the pub...Chloe tried the guilt trip on me as if I wasn't feeling bad enough already *sighs* I just dunno where things stand or where they are going anymore

So I went down to the pub...Paul recognised me and hugged me and gave me a kiss *giggles* heh heh and he mentioned that I have one of the very last autographs from Mickey!!! That makes me feel so honoured and makes the DVD cover mean just so much more

Rob and I had a really long talk about Marc Bolan...well more he was telling me lots of stories about the real Marc and the truth behind the man, from what he's learnt from Mickey and Paul...I dunno whether they are private or not though so I best not say too much!!!

Rob asked me to go back down today...Barry was in (T-Rex's manager), I didn't really get to meet him as such because he left soon after their meal, but he looked nothing like I expected!!! Paul Fenton brought a folder of valuable memories over for me to look at...there were original photos, newspaper articles, things Marc had written by hand, a signed copy of Bolan's book, the
certificate that proves Paul has rights to the band names, just so many memories, personal memories, 40-odd years worth of Paul's life was in my hands *smiles*

OMG TOM IAN AND I ARE GOING TO WWE ROAD TO INSURREXTION!!!! Mum booked the tickets this morning!!!! Wooooooooooooo *Ric Flair impression* I can't wait it'll be so cool!!!

Weeeeee my Leap of Faith video came on Friday, I've already watched it 3 times...It is soooooooooo good...I love Matt and Jeff!!! I hope they reunite soon!!!
