Bastille Live!

Hello everyone! I am so sorry that I haven't wrote a decent post in ages, school has just been so stressful at the moment but now I thought would be a perfect time to chat:)
So yesterday (Wednesday) Me, Holly and Lauren went to see Bastille live again! This was my second time seeing them so I knew what dreams were about to come true, but this was the first time Lauren was to see Bastille, So I was slightly excited just thinking about the look on her face when they start playing...
So yesterday after school, us three busily rushed off to go and get changed so we could head to Portsmouth, where we were seeing Bastille as fast as we could, and with a quick Maccy'Ds stop, we arrived at the venue at 4:45. At the time, we were thinking "ah you know, the queue is going to be massive but it will still be a great gig" but when we arrived, there were only about 12 people in front of us! We hurriedly joined the queue and stayed there for 2 hours, before we rushed into the main hall where we grabbed barrier front spots! I can now say that I have been barrier front at a bastille concert!

The support acts were extremely good! you can see the band's name below :) 
Within 10 minutes of Bastille's hour long set, Dan Smith (the singer) had already spotted me and pointed at me!! Then later on, he saw me and Lauren dancing and laughed whilst raising his eyebrows at us, then when I was getting some water he was watching me which made me drop the water (oops). Also later on, he came over and sang the lyric "Hold my hands" to me and we both smiled...I am one lucky girl! Despite all this, Will (The guitarist) was lovely and kept glancing at me and my friends! I then got to hug Woody when he leaned into the crowd :')
I have to say, Bastille are one of the best bands anyone can say live! For example, during their song "flaws" Dan dissapeared off the stage and appeared on the top balcony, so all the fans up there got to hug him and see him up close which I thought was very thoughtful! 
As I am writing this now, I am smiling so hard that my cheeks are hurting! Definately shall be seeing these boys again for the 3rd time :)

Tour name: Bad Blood
Support Acts: Bipolar Sunshine & To kill a king

Exciting newz

Hello everyone! How are you all doing? It's half way through the week so not far to the next weekend. *Thank god* Anyway, I'm just doing a quick update as I'm quite busy at the moment with GCSE's blah blah blah... 

well, my sister is getting better, she has been back to the hospital since Monday but she's doing alright :-) and some exciting newsss! (well it's more exciting for me than it is for you but hey ho I though you'd want to know) I have booked some concert tickets for The Midnight Beast and Bastille at the Great Escape Festival in Brighton! I'm so so happy to go and see my 2 favorite bands ON THE SAME DAY! Obviously they're at different times with a good 5 hours inbetween but that's just gives me a excuse to go to the beach :~) and I'm seeing The Script in 17 days! I'm a busy bee this year.

Well sorry for it being so short, but what are you looking forward to this year? comment below :)

Best day of 2012

What was your overall best day of 2012? ♥ 

For me, 2012 was overall a great year. For everything bad that happened,a good thing happened too. It counter balanced really. So everyday was alright, some better than others. However out of the whole 366 days of 2012 (It was a leap year), The 6th of October was a particularly brilliant one. I'll tell you why now.



I had been planning this day for about a year, so I expected it to go perfectly. I'd thought through every aspect of the day, I thought about taking umbrellas in case it rained, I was prepared for anything for nothing was going to ruin that day. You could say I was 'expecting the unexpected' and to be honest at the end of the day I was quite pleased when everything did go perfectly. Everything I had imagined had happened. Right, so what actually happened? If you don't know, I'm absolutely obsessed with a bad called The Midnight Beast and so the 6th of October was going to be the first time I'd seen them live, that makes it a pretty big deal. SO, my friends who were coming with me came around before hand, then we got in the car (obviously) and drove to Bournemouth where we were going to see them. Having 3 overexcited hyperactive teenagers in a car was a challenge for my parents haha.




We got there about 11 and queued for a good 7 hours. During this wait, we made friends with the people next to us (who I'm still in contact with now) and we also found out that the first 50 people in the queue were to meet this beloved band. So obviously we become even more hyperactive (I didn't even know It was possible to reach such a high level of excitement.) When it was time to meet them, we were hysterical on the inside but actually surprisingly calm and playing it cool on the outside. Since we had meet and greet, we got to go in first which meant that we got to the front for the concert, as you can see below we were extremely pleased with ourselves.

                                     

So the concert was absolutely amazing as expected, after they went of stage we just stood there like 'NO WHERE ARE YOU GOING COME BACK' but sadly, we were forced to leave. The funny thing is even our intense love for the midnight beast couldn't compete with getting a drink instead of waiting for them afterwards. We got our drinks, drove home and literally flopped on the bed. Best day ever = Completed. 

I normally never get too excited about a day because (knowing my luck) something would go wrong, but luck changed on that day, and I questioned whether the emotion of sadness still existed.
