L.F RAMBLES - BLINK!


The song that got me into them. Oh and Tom Delonge was the first of many realistic fan girl crushes ;)

Yes, I kept the confetti from the show.

Short story: I went to see* Blink-182. The band that epitomised my early teens *fan girl moment*.
Even though Blink 182 was my favourite band at the time, I eventually branched out and I didn't really listen to much of their music for at least a good 4 years. I didn't even check out their latest album until a couple of weeks before the gig. So when I was there kind of surprised myself that I still knew all the lyrics to their songs. 
I managed to somehow get to the front-ish (about 3/4 rows behind the barrier). And it was a really good time jumping about like a loon. Oh The All American Rejects also supported. NOSTALGIA - geez 10 fricken years has passed. Damn. 
Anyway they were really good and the atmosphere of it all was ace. CRAZY hot (Mark said it was the hottest gig they've had so far) and with the bonus of being pressed against really sweaty men. MY FAV'.

So a bit like after The Kills gig, I'm listening to a lot of Blink now and getting into them again. Memories!
While in rant mode:
  • Gigs should be in height order - I know you can't control your height but us 5 footers can't see jack. I was tip toeing!
  • PUT YO PHONE DOWN AND ENJOY THE LIVE MUSIC.
*I was meant to post this AGES ago. I saw them in June!

HAULIN' 8

Thought I'd show you a most recent photo of myself. I look 'OK' considering I had an all night bender the day before (celebrated F.A.D being over)
 ZARA- £4.99
I really like the illustrations and the mid length sleeve detail
FRENCH ELLE- 20P (ALL MONEY GOES TO CHARITY)
I've picked up a few issues awhile ago and then whilst passing my colleges library recently they had even more back issues (30+) for sale. So like the massive hoarder that I am, I spent a good while picking out which issues to get (good make-up/fashion articles or editorials).
Beth is actually one of my tutors but I wasn't aware she made jewelry until I stumbled onto her site. I'm still on my hand made crafting kick and when I saw that she made hand stamped inscription rings for £40.00, I thought it was pretty reasonable and unlike costume jewelry a worthwhile investment. You can decide on what word/s you want on the ring. I decided on having the word 'ring' on my ring (I still find it amusing).
I've been wearing my ring non-stop and I'm considering getting a few more. And I believe they are sterling silver and hand made from scratch too.

THE KILLS- 31ST OF MAY AT LEEDS MET
I think this is the most impulsive buy I've ever made lol. I was checking out their page on Facebook and I saw that they were going to be playing in Leeds.... further investigation showed there were still tickets left. BAM. I have two tickets! I'm going with Elly Steer and I'm really excited. Still a gig newbie, this will be my second one ever!
