Bands, Bands, Bands....

So once all of this crazy university stuff is over I will be celebrating by going to see one of my favourite bands, The Pigeon Detectives! I missed them at Leeds Festival last year, which reminds me I still need a ticket for this year, because I went to see Panic! At the Disco instead. There are just somethings you have to sacrifice for the greater good. This year will be my third year in a row at Leeds and I love it because they have all my favourite bands and some to be discovered and it is the best 5 days of the year. As well as all the bands I get to see I get to go camping with my friends and just have a nice chilled out weekend lying in the sun, ah heaven!



I wish I had learnt sacrificing when it came to getting all this work started. I have an exam in a few hours time and I know nothing on the subject because i hardly ever went to class because of my night shift. Not a good idea.



One thing I am never without though when I revise is my ipod and that's when I get out the sketchbook to start writing down every lyric I can possibly remember or the one's that stand out the most. My ipod is an extra limb just like my mobile phone, I can't go anywhere without it.



Lyrics mean alot and in some cases people live by them. I have a range of favourite lyrics and you know where they all end up.


Usually a really good album I'm listening to can end up on a whole page just like my simple plan one. They are an amazing band that have so many songs that i can relate to when i'm feeling 500 different things.

Music is something I could never live without, wherever I am i'm always singing and dancing and I can gaurantee if I make it out of this exam in one piece I will certainly be singing and dancing later. Wish me luck!!

Inspiration in life!

So it's been a bit hectic since i last wrote in my blog and lots of things have been happening in my life. A lot of stressful things but you get on with it because most times, you don't get much choice!

I recently finished the only book I've managed to fully read in a while which was P.S I Love You by Cecelia Ahern. Most people will know the film was just released but I haven't seen it as i haven't had the time. It's a great book about losing someone you love and them being able to help you live your life again, some ups and downs on the way but that's what generally life is. I've only ever lost one close friend to me and she was more of an inspiration than i realised.

Nicole Robinson died on August 18th 2006. She was struck by a car as she was crossing the A1 motorway in the early hours of the morning walking home. She has become an inspiration to the way i look on life when I'm down. She had only just beaten anorexia a few weeks before she died and didn't fully get to live her life but the years she did have were jam packed! She loved going out to the scene in Newcastle and loved her friends greatly, my memories are also with my best friend Rachel, with us drinking jugs in Baron & Baroness and dancing like crazy in Switch. Nicole fought to beat her illness but it never brought her down and she had so many loves, but her main one is a one we shared passionately...music.

Plain White T's - Hey There Delilah, will always be her song as she introduced it to me around 5 years ago now, but they've only just broke into the UK market, so it's weird to hear it played on the radio because it was her song that she found. The lyrics mean a lot personally to me and it's that song you need to hear when you've had a bad day or you just miss her. R.I.P Nicoley, we miss you!

Music is a huge part of my life and I don't go a day without hearing any of my favourite songs and scribbling down on pages those that seem to stick with me.

"Stay close to your friends and family for they have helped make you the person that you are today."

The first post

So I have eventually decided on the topic for my blog! It's taken a while because i have that many interests and my life is so horribly busy, i decided to think of something that brings them altogether and i decided on my weird and wonderful sketchbook.

My sketchbook holds all of my fave lyrics, what I've been watching on TV, song lyrics, quotes and generally how I'm feeling. You can normally guess how I'm feeling because of the content of the pages so i wanted to see how this worked out online. So hopefully it is successful and I'm going to have to pull out some personal feelings on life!
