  • theres no such thing as a jaggy snake

    Last night I saw Biffy Clyro :)

    So good :D They're one of my favourite bands and I've seen them before but I was really excited to see them again. Simon Neil is my favourite man, ever. So beautiful :') Anyway! It was in Brixton, which as Ive mentioned before is one of my favourite venues ever. Doors opened at 7 but we wanted to get to the front, so began queing at half 4ish. There was only about 5 people infront of us and we played games with them whilst we waited. It was absolutely tipping it down with rain so we got soaked but it was worth it.

    pulled apart by horsesmanchester orchestra

    There were two support bands. The first were Pulled Apart By Horses. I'd never heard of them but theyre were alright. I liked a few of their songs but the way they were on stage was a bit over the top by the end. They threw themselves around so much it was a bit like 'really?' by the end. The next were Manchester Orchestra. I really like them. I'd also seen them before and I just find them so nice to listen to. They're heavy but not harsh as my mum said (;

    biffy clyro

    Biffy tiiiime. SOOO GOOD :D I was right at the front in the middle, just behind my friend Ross. He stood infront at the barrier so I wasnt as crushed. Some fucking annoying guy kept trying to get the barrier and thought a good way to do so would be to elbow my shoulder so much I'd eventually move. I didn't move though, I just told him to fuck off which he ignored, so I bit him. Actually bit his arm. He was elbowing my face, I'm not having it. The set list was amazing, a perfect mix of the new album and old ones. Machines was beautiful, it was literally just Simon, an acoustic guitar and a single spotlight. I could have cried...I didn't though because I'm tough.

    I eventually rolled in about 2am, feet killing and tired and hungry, but it was an epic night :)

  • hello tourists

    hello tourists
    Yesterday we had a college trip, it's quite clear to see where we went (:

    It was good. Not as I expected but I'm not sure if that's a good or bad thing. We spent the morning being taken around by some annoying tour guide. He had one of those voices that make you want to stab yourself in the ears, kind of like Brian Blessed. We then eventually got let out for lunch. We ended up in McDonalds. Despite coming all the way to London and ending up in the same place we usually do for lunch on our normal college days, we had a really nice break. We spent time with the other girls in our class, that until recently we hadnt spoke too that much. Theyre so lovely. I never had anything against them in the first place but theyre all very different to how I thought they'd be, and theyre so funny and sweet. Generally really nice girls.

    In the afternoon we had this workshop thing. We were in groups with a team leader guy. Ours was called Joel, he was nice and wore baggy trousers. We were told to create an idea for a short 5 minute film that would have no dialogue and would be filmed around the Movium. We were also given a choice of costumes that were amazing. Our film was about a Princess, stolen by a goblin, an saved by a prince. It was shit, but James prancing around as a Goblin was the best thing I have ever seen in my entire life.

    Fireworks tomorrow! It's always so tacky and the bands that play usually sound shit, but it's a tradition, yanno? We turn up, grab some chips, go sit down and watch the fireworks across the river before going back to someones house to stay over (:

    Happy Halloween beasties!

    This Halloween has been a good'un. It was Owl's 18th birthday on Saturday, so we all went out on Friday night for a meal and drinks to celebrate. A few of our group came back from Uni for the weekend so it was so lovely seeing everyone, we all got to chat and catch up, it was almost sad when we said goodbye at the end of the night.

    We got home fairly late and I stayed at Owl's. We werent very tired so made a little fort in her lounge. To be honest it wasnt exactly a fort, but we put the sofa cushions on the floor and made a big comfy mattress type of thing infront of the TV with sleeping bags and all that jazz. I love her house so much, the general cozyness of it all is so comforting. We laid down and started to watch a shit horror film we found on Sky. Owl kept dozing off and finally fell asleep, I wasnt tired at all so took advantage of having the TV to myself. 46" screen I tells ya! I flicked through for ages, watching bits of South Park, Saw 5, Girls Of The Playboy Mansion, Wife Swap,some interview thing with Ricky Gervais and this weird thing I found called Party Mama's, basically My Super Sweet Sixteen but with 7 year olds and its all arranged by their parents, before finally getting to sleep at about 5am.

    We woke about 10 and I sang Happy Birthday in my gorgeous morning voice. Owl opened her presents, her mum made us bacon sandwiches and we lazed like sloths watching Pocahontus sing-along edition until 12 when I left. Just beacause we're grown up doesnt mean we have to act it. I didnt speak to her for the rest of the day but she spent it with her boyfriend and I'm sure she had a really nice day :)

    Last night I was planning to go to a halloween party, but about 2 hours before it got cancelled and just changed to a 'gathering'. Popcorn, scary movies, minor dress up, that kinda of stuff. I went as some weird backcombed hair, goth thing. Even I don't know what I was. I just wanted to backcomb my hair.

    gah

    It was a fun night really :) We didn't exactly act very halloween-ish. We had a few drinks, watched X Factor, played Poker for a bit until Fae started cheating, ate some cheese and then Zombieland and Dead Set. I didnt particualy like Zombieland, and Dead set was naff, but I was in nice company and it was at Laura's house...which is massive and amazing. I then came home and ate cheese on toast and cous cous whilst watching Dexter.

    Overall, a really nice couple of nights :)

  • I'm a loser and a user so I don't need no accuser

    ...to try and slag me down because I know I'm right.

    So Friday night I saw Green Day at the O2 Arena.

    Before I went I hadnt listened to them in ages, had heard hardly anything from their new album and was only slightly excited because it was Green Day, a band I would have killed to see when I was 13-15 and I finally was.

    Without a doubt, one, if not THEE best gig I have ever been too.

    Everything about it was fucking amazing. The sound, the set list, the stage set up, the lighting, the pyrotechnics, EVERYTHING. Without sounding too over dramatic, there are no words to explain how much I enjoyed this show. The support was Prima Donna. I hadnt heard any of their stuff before I went and I can't say I was too impressed. They were on for a fair bit as there was delays with trains and whatnot so people were fairly late turning up and the arena was quite empty. I think its really good they postponed the show for a good half hour or so just to make surepeople had time to get there, if it were Me who was late I would have been gutted.

    As the show began, straight away my love for Billie-Jor Armstrong was rekindled and I remember why I was so in love with him years ago. He's one of the best showmans Ive ever seen. One of those who just seems to know what to do, as if it all comes naturally to him. He knows how to work the crowd. One thing I liked most about the whole gig was how he was always pulling fans up on the stage with him. Throughout the gig he pulled up about 8 people each at different times, hugging each of them before letting them sing with him for a bit, even telling a a few after to run off the extended 'runway' part of the stage and stagedive and letting one [the luckiest kid in the world] sing the whole of Longview, one of my favourite Green Day songs. Another thing that pleasently shocked me was the setlist. There was a equal mix of old and new songs, playing only 3 or 4 from their new album and the rest from International Superhits e.g. She, When I Come Around, Welcome To Paradise etc, and American Idiot e.g. American Idiot, St Jimmy, Jesus Of Suburbia etc. THEY EVEN PLAYED BRAIN STEW! It's not one of their most famous but its amazing.

    They ended on Wake Me Up When September Ends and Good Riddence as expected. As expected again, they were beautiful. I honestly could have cried, which is sad as fuck, but just shows how amazing it was. Whilst playing to 18,000 people, Billie-Joe Armstrongs voice and single acoustic guitar can still affect you in the same way as if youre listening to a CD at home on your own.

    I did this gig no justice, but Oh My God. I can't say amazing enough.

  • FML+tumblr

    So I got a tumblr cause I was made too by a friend and now it seems I just go on there and forget about here. Which sucks, because I love this blog and it seems to be the only one I've made and actually kept up with.

    www.orlyhannah.tumblr.com

    I haven't felt myself lately. At all.

    College is shit, I'm starting to really not enjoy it at all. The work is fairly okay once you get the hang of it, but my motivation is nowhere to be found. I leave everything till last minute and even when I do the work, I always read through it after and know I could improve it drastically but never do. People there are pissing me off. Well one person actually. There a few other people who I try to make the effort to talk too but I never know what to say. Plus I don't know why I bother most of the time because they don't make the effort to talk to me. They'll talk to my friends when I'm right there and yet they still say nothing to me. They'll even hug them goodbye yet don't even SAY bye to me. I really don't think they like me. I wouldn't care if they didn't and I knew why, but they don't even know me yet and they seem to not want to get too either. Thank god I have Emma there or I simply wouldn't bother.

    I saw my friends who I haven't seen in ages last night. We ate chinese and watched a film at Luci's then Fae and I ended up staying over. I got the bus home at 8 this morning with them on their way to school, I was still wearing last nights clothes, had no make up on and just looked and felt like a tramp to be honest. It wasn't until I was on the way there beforehand that I realised I hadn't seen any of them properly in well over a month, well since Reading Fest in mid-August really. Half of our group are at uni now and the rest all see each other at sixth form so there never seems to be group things outside of school arranged anymore. I had a pretty shit day at college and I was hoping seeing them would cheer me up and make me snap out of this weird feeling I have going on right now, but it really didn't. They even said I seemed quiet, and I tried to get involved with their conversations but most of the time it was about school and I didn't know what they were on about so just sat feeling a bit left out.

    I don't know what the fucks wrong with me?! I hate feeling like this. I'm so nostalgic about last year and summer and its annoying the hell out of me. The only thing that seems to be keeping me half sane is Blur's discography, which even then is mostly just 'The Universal' on repeat. I just want...something, something really good to come along and make me snap out of this.

    We gave Oscar Wilde a bath. He loved it.

    Reason #1785 why its fun being my friend:

    We recreate murder scenes in my back garden.
    That's Emma, she's 18 on Friday! I'm more excited about it than she is :B

    I watched the Sex & The City film last night. I hadnt seen it since it came out in the cinemas and couldnt remember much of it, but I cried my eyes out. Just when I'd stopped crying, I started again. It was bloody ridiculous. It made me want to live in New York so bad, SO BAD. I SHALL live there for at least a year sometime during my life. Then I'm back to London. If we don't go there with college I will cry. I'm happy to go to LA, college, but I'd rather you took me to New York like we originally planned.

    Now I'm going to listen to Tiny Dancer one more time before I go to bed. G'night.

  • massive attack

    I saw Massive Attack last night.

    To be quite simple, they were pretty damn amazing.
    I might be biased, seeing as I'm a huge fan anyway, I was at the barriers and it was in my favourite venue for any gig, Brixton Academy.

    I have no pictures as I stupidly forgot my camera, but everything from the music, to the support band, even to the lights were amazing. I nearly cried through Teardrop, it was beautiful.

  • life has a funny way of working

    A few days ago a couple of people I know, Aaron and Steve [friends of friends, one's a best friends boyfriend] were involved in a car accident. Although I havent heard the exact details of what happened yet, I've heard about it from a friend who was driving behind them and saw the whole thing. They were driving along when another car came into them, causing them to swerve onto a kerb/small wall and causing the car to flip over. It flipped a full 360 and smacked into a tree and down a ditch. The car was absolutely crushed and my friend said as soon as he was out of his car and saw the car in the ditch he immediatly thought the worst and could see any way they would be alright.

    Police and Ambulence were called straight away, but they werent needed. Aaron and Steve crawled out the crushed windows and ran up away from the car. Not a mark on them! They're both fairly bruised and one of them had a scratch on his arm and that was apparently from crawling through the glass! They have got to be two of the luckiest people to be alive!

    Life is amazing.
