| Drinking in Japan ^_^ |
[May. 2nd, 2009|01:51 pm] |
Hello world.
Yeah, whilst i brought a new interwebs cable the computer power cord is being a bitch which is very annoying as I brought it a few weeks ago so back to uni stealage of computers.
As I don't get to see all of my f-list *pouts* to say this in person: I'M GOING TO JAPAN IN JUNE AHHHH!!!!
And breath....*is currently spazzing out to Sian via msn*....
I'm staying in Fukuoka for three weeks where I'll be learning Japanese in the mornings and I'm also intending to go to South Korea for a weekend as i can get a boat there and I can't be that close and not go.
Then the last week I shall travel around Japan, definatly decided I'm going to Hiroshima, Osaka and must go to Kyoto. Any other suggestions?
So yep I will be away all of June pretty much (well I get back for like tha last day I think)
It will be amazing...wtf am I doing!?!? I love my adventourous streak. I have aqquired a travel bug and have a feeling i will never get over it.
I think I'm gonnas have to get a bigger suitcase cause I have had so many requests for presents...I am gonna have to take other stuff though...like clothes xD
That's my big news over with.
Last night was fun. I got drunk for the first time in ages lol.
It was the AU ball and i went with karate so we started off in the Aldelphi (posh hotel in Liverpool) where we had the meal...lots of wine...it was nice wine Sazzy had lots. I also had top collect my award for full colours which i'm not quite sure what it means, I think it's because I've represented the uni in a compertition. But now have a shiney badge to sew onto my gi... or stick onto my pegboard.
Funnyness included: the boys being bouncers, me getting past the bouncers, where's Amy gone and the balloon. Oh and mdf xD
Then we went clubbing, lots of alcohol, lots of fun and dancing. Fun times. Amusingly I stayed out the latest with Kat and Craig before taking drunk Kat home. Then today Ste and i were the only ones who turned up for training. So we didn't have a session hence why I is on the interwebs now before heading round to Jim's later.
I also love my mum because I have no hangover and I inherited this amazing power form her. best thing to inherit ever!!!
I also went shopping on someday, with Pam, Becci and Callum. It was fun. Pam has a strange affect on me...I only ever buy girly clothes when she's with me. I brought a skirt, blue summer top, to cardigans, a t-shirt and some vest tops. YeY for stuff <3
Loves to you all

| Outside gigs and Manchester Christmas Market. |
[Dec. 1st, 2008|10:49 pm] |
I've had a fun few days... (unfortuantly this hasn't done much good for my uni work, but it's done alot of good for my mood).
Yesterday Pocket Apocalypse had an outdoor gig, because Nick is crazy and only crazy people have gigs outside on the 30th of November it was freezing!!!
PA were meant to be playing at one but foir some reason I misjudged how long it would take me to get to the venue so got there about 12:40 to find Rik as the rest of the band were all over Liverpool as the band that were meant to be bringing the amps had cancelled (scared at how crap they would look next to PA obviously) so now they had to bring thier own amps (and Rik's drum stool) from various houses across Liverpool so I was sitting on the stage talking to Rik for a while and then Pam and Chris arrived so as the rest of PA had not turned up we went to find some lunch. I also found a really yummy mango drink <33 it was win.
We got back and a few more people had arrived to watch and then the rest of the band (plus equipment) had arrived, so we were chatting to the band and trying to stay warm in whatever ways possible before going to get hot chocolate.
We got back and the band were on, as it turned out the other bands had all cancelled (losers) and because of equipment PA got on at 2pm but it was really good. Lots of random people came in or stood outside and listened (it was a gig where you could wander in and out and was totally free). Me and Pam were rather amused by one little baby that was absolutly entranced by the music aww ^^. Me and Pam were dancing away, sometime getting Chris to join in and also shouted stuff to Nick because I speak for the whole audience 8D. But they played some new stuff which was so awesome. I also realised that I knew so many of the words to thier songs which I didn't realise until it's like oh I'm singing along xD
They played Nobody's a Nobody and Pam was like I've not heard this before but I remeber Rik playing it for me back in summer when it was only in very rough form so it was good to hear it now all polished and awesome. I really liked all thier new songs, they've defo got better and seem to have found thier prefered style. On the way back from the gig Rik was telling me about how the new songs had been composed and was saying that now they have a competent bassist (because bassist Chris is awesome) that you can see where it's improved and you can really tell the difference Chris has made as he didn't write any part of the Second Coming mini album (because he wasn't really in the band then). I agree, the songs sound more professional and they seem alot more confortable as a band now, they're hoping to record the new songs over Christmas so hopefully they will do that then I can get a cd of them. They also have a gig on at the guild on Tuesday which I shall go to of course, they are headlining so fortuantly they won't be on till quite late so I will have time to work on my essay before hand.
Then today I went to Manchester Christmas market with Pam, James, Chris, Becci and we met Martyn there. It was really fun and so pretty <3. I ate so much xD I first had a pork, apple sauce and stuffing roll which Pam had been raving about all week, it was so good, I also finished off Pam's because she wasn't that hungry but I had had nothing to eat and it tasted soo good. We then wandered around, and we got a tiny bit of snow!!! My sister called me and by the time I said "It's snowing WoW" the snow had pratically ended :(. So then I had a pancake/crepe which was very yummy. We looked around the market some more before going to this awesome pub!! It's a Irish pub that's a converted church and even had a tree in the middle of it, it's across between a medieveil Church (I was preaching from the pulpit whilst Pam and Becci sang "Don't cry for me Argentina" I din;t know the words to it), Irish Celtic and Galic designs and sopmething out of Lord of the Rings it was epic. As Pam, Becci and I (and others) are living together next year we were like stuff student houses, we wanna live here!! Then right upstairs they had really comfy chairs so we all sat there whilst we had a drink to escape from the cold and have a rest. Pam and Becci took some photos so if they came out well I'll see if I can get them and upload them for people to see.
Then we went to Afflects Palace (which for those that know it is similar to Grand Centeral in Liverpool) and I brought a skirt =O. A few weeks back me and Pam swoped clothes to see who would notice which ended up in me wearing a skirt for the first time in 12 years <8O and I decided that skirts aren't so bad, but I hadn't manged to find one I liked or if I did like it I didn't fit >.< but today i found a short tartan skirt that does fit. I may wear it tomorrow to the gig depending on if I have tights that don't have holes in xD.
Then we went back to the market and I got a few Christmas presents, I was about to write "I think this person will really like..." and then realised that said person is on my f-list so that would not be smart xD. So I drunk some mulled wine ate Belgian chcolates and brought a German gingerbread polar bear for my little sister as her Christmas list to me had requested a polar bear hehe. I didn't buy as much as I though I would but I'm really pleased with what I did buy.
I got home in the evening but it was a really fun day being with my friends and having a good time and a laugh, plus the market was super awesome and big :D I also found some nice parts of Manchester (or maybe Manchester seems nicer when you're in good company as it's not a city I'm particually fond of, it's ok just not great) I shall go again to the market next year ^_^
