pendulum

Since i havnt written on here for ages and i am doing a journalism course i figured it was about time to start doing this regulary!

Last friday i went to see Pendulum play at the Guildhall in Porthsmouth. I wasn't really sure what to expect..i knew it wouldn't be like seeing them play in Fabric or somewhere like that, the over 14's only statement on the ticket gave that away but it didnt quite prepare me for what it was actually like! Ive like pendulum for along time now and i guess i thought their fan base was abit....not sure what the word should be but i guess......older! I walked in to be greeted with a load of 14 year olds trying to smuggle glow sticks in to the venue. To then be asked by the female security guard if i was hiding any glow sticks. Obviously i was so pleased that i look the sort to smuggle glow sticks in and was a bit confused at why people weren't allowed them anyway! We walked through to the bar to be faced with alot of underage people using very obvious fake IDs (which noone was clocking on too, even though they looked like something you would win in a cereal box). We went and sat in our seats and the support act came on, this is when i realised why glow sticks had been banned. The now slightly tipsey 14 year olds started hurling all their smuggled glow sticks at the man DJing! Although slightly amusing..i have no idea who decided that would be fun..the thought of smuggling glow sticks in to a concert to throw at the act had funnily enough never even occured to me! Anyway Pendulum came on and ofcourse they were amazing, the sweaty 14year olds removing their tshirts half way through and the generally age range did ruin it a little but i would recommend seeing Pendulum if you like that sort of music....just prehaps go see them in a club!

Im going to try and do this blog daily..or every couple of days. Its going to be my new years resolution i think. hmm anyway i hope you enjoyed reading about my trip to see Pendulum!

Love. x

pointless days

today.

today has been one of those pointless days. i had a car accident three years ago and following that i get really ill. i have days upon days lying in bed in pain. not really the way i planned my life to be but guess i should make the best of it.

i have a boyfriend, spoony. he is amazing..but sometimes i need to rely on him less. its hard when away at uni with no mum or dad to scoop you up and look after you.

anyway less of this depressive talk....my lovely boyfriend has come to look after me...even tho i feel bad i cut his evening short. im just trying to get the hang of this blogging thing....task for tomorrow...try better!
