Trying to make a full list of all the concerts I've been to, with the supports if I can find them out/remember.




( List under the cut )

I went to see Dropkick Murphys tonight and omg, it was brilliant! [spunge] were one of the supports, which I was so so happy about, because I've seen them twice before headlining and I know their amazing. They didn't dissapoint this time, and I got their setlist! I got one off them the first time, but this one's much shorter 'cause they were only supporting. The second support were okay. The best bit was that two girls who were right up at the front against the barrier decided to move after [spunge], so me and Andrew took their places :p Then Dropkick Murphys came onstage. They're so good. Their set was about a hour and a half, but they didn't talk much so they fitted loads of songs into it.

And here comes the epic! Before they started doing Kiss me, I'm shitfaced, they said this was for the girls, and invited us up on stage. So obvs, I went up. It was brilliant- there were loads of girls up there and we all just put our arms around each other and started singing and swaying. The girl next to me became my bff during it lmao. We stayed up for that song, and then we went back into the crowd. There were a few more songs, the band went off stage and came back for their encore. Then they invited everyone up to the stage :p So I went up again during the last few songs. I didn't get any photos, but Andrew took one from the stage at the end:twitpic.com/1feh5j

So tonight was one of the best gigs I've ever been to and Dropkick Murphys may be one of my new favourite bands! My left ear feels as if I've got water in it, I've got bruises forming on my legs and I've got little cuts and marks all over my body, but idc- tonight was amazing.

I also ordered my ticket to go and see blink-182 in Glasgow this August, which I'm mega excited for. It's 2 days before I get my AS results, so I figure I'll need something to look forward to :p

Seeing as I don't have a Dropkick Murphy's icon, I'll use a Sons of Anarchy one because a DKM song was in an episode once :p

So I've finally got around to posting my pictures of the Sim I got from pixel_trade's Secret Santa! I've had the photos taken for a week (or two? I don't know, I get lazy in the holidays). My Sim is so cute :D

( Pictures! )
So huge ty to my Secret Santa for such an adorable Sim :D

I go on holiday tomorrow at early o' clock in the morning and yesterday, my friend Sophie came up with the the brilliant idea of taking a rubber duck (I collect/love rubber ducks) with me and taking it's photo at all the tourist spots, which may be the best idea ever. This is the lucky duck we chose:

( Drumroll please. . . )


So hopefully, I'll remember to take it's photo everywhere! She's going in my hand luggage so I might try to get some airport photos as well. I get home on the 18th, so I'll be back then :p

I finished my target of reading 50 books this year already :p The full list of everything I've read this year so far is here. :D
