Keeping Up and Late Posts

I'm sorry that I haven't posted my London post yet, I've not really been feeling like writing since I got back. I will admit that I have made a start to it and I'm not gonna say "it should be up..." because I don't want to say to you guys that I'll put it up at a time when I won't. I give my sincerest apologies to all of you. I will have it up eventually I think but the hassle with the photos and organising the post sometimes just takes it out of me and I lose the urge to keep on and I just think "I'll do it another time" when really I should just persevere! But like I said I haven't really felt like writing much recently so I will attempt to make a little more effort with it and get it up relatively soon but there's more chance it won't be up for a little while yet. That's all for this post. I tried writing it from the center rather than the left hand side, what do you think? Better? Worse? Let me know in the comments if you want to.

Apologies, Explanations & Updates

This isn't going to be a very exciting post, just a quick apology on not having written anything recently! Also a little update for everyone. I've been wanting to write a new blogpost for a long time now but I just haven't had anything to say or write about, so I guessed an apology post, a little explanation and update on life would give me reason enough. I will try and write or at least give little updates more often - but no promises mind you! I'll definitely have a new post up two weeks from now, as on the 26th I'm going to London for the first time ever!! I'll be back on the 31st of May so I'll try and get a post up over the weekend I return home but it may not be up until early the following week. I'm really excited, I'm going with my school for 5 days. My best friend Stephanie and some of my other friends from school are going too. Unfortunately there is one girl from school who's going that I have rather a dislike to at the moment but nevertheless, I am going to enjoy myself as much as I possibly can! We'll be going to places like Chesington World of Adventures, the London Eye, Trafalgar Sqaure, the HMS Belfast, and other interesting and fun places. There's an All Time Low acoustic gig on the 31st which I'm really upset about because I might have had a chance of going (probably not but whatever) and I'll be leaving London just as they get there. I'd die to meet them, seriously. But lets not get into ATL related subjects because you and I both know this post will become even more rambly and ranty than it already is. That's all I came on to say really, and before I kill you all with my going off on a tangent, I'll shut up and say goodbye until next time. Thank you all for reading and being so great, remember to comment if you have anything you'd like to say.

Paramore's new single: Now

Hey everyone!

So yesterday morning on the radio one of my favourite bands, Paramore, were guests on Nick Grimshaw's morning show. A couple nights ago I'd found out the band would be releasing a new single. I was really excited as was most of my Twitter feed!! In the morning when I logged onto Twitter loads of people on my feed were going crazy for the release of it and when Paramore came on the radio, the craziness just exploded!!! I logged onto my laptop and listened to them online and watched them on webcam in the studio. That only made me love them more! I felt so excited, you know that warm fuzzy band-loving feeling you get when one that you love comes on the radio or you watch an interview or listen to them or something?? Yeah, that.

When the song was played I listened to it and oH MY GOD. I FELL IN LOVE. It was great! It was so good I mean I can't even explain it. I've loved Paramore for a couple of years now and this was just the cherry on top. I'll put the YouTube link for the song at the bottom of the page for anyone who hasn't heard it and wants to or has and wants to listen to it anyway. :)

After hearing Now and loving it, I'm super stoked for the new record to come out. Should be better than great. I'm so psyched. They're apparently going to be doing a UK tour and I'm really hoping they'll come to Scotland (that's where I live) so I can see them live. This year I want to see a good few bands I like at live gigs because I've only ever been to two and I definitely want to see more. I love gigs! But then again, who doesn't?? ;)

I hope a lot of you like the single too - if anyone's actually reading this, haha. I know I do and, well, you guys  know I do! Overall, I'm just really buzzed about the whole thing aka the single, the new record, the UK tour (fingers crossed)... EVERYTHING.

Till next time then...

Now - Paramore (new single)

New year, fresh start.

Evening all. :)

Well, it's a little late but nevertheless - happy new year!! Better late than never as they say.
Now that 2012 is out the window and away, I must say I'm glad. 2012 was probably - and I'm not being dramatic here - the worst year of my life. Very few "life-changing" things happened for the better but plenty did for the worst. None of you will know about what I've went through this past year and I'm not going to go into immense detail on it but I give you an insight.

Last year my parents separated. From sometime earlier on in last year (before the separation) I'd been really down and hadn't really been very happy. This was getting me down because I wanted nothing more than to be a happy person again. Naturally I'm a pretty positive person in general, so being down like that was hard. But after the separation things only got worse for me. I became even more down. There were a few happy times but like I said, a few. As this year went on I just got more and more upset. I wondered if I was becoming depressed but I wouldn't know for sure unless I went to a doctor or talked to someone about it. I never did and I still haven't to this day. I guess I just never had the guts. But hey, here I am posting it on the internet!

Throughout my down time I've experienced things I didn't think I ever would - and by that I mean bad things. I never asked for any of this, I never wanted any of this. In lots of ways I wish I could take the whole year back and make something really special of it and look back on it and think "wow that was an amazing year for me!!" Now I'll never get that chance. But that's okay, because I did learn a lot from being upset and I gained a lot of understanding, of certain feelings and why a person does certain things and how certain things affect a person, whether that be in a good or bad way.

So this year, I plan to make a fresh start. I want to get my life back to being a LIVED life! Not the depressing mess it has become. Hopefully I can make this work. It'll be hard - it has been already, and the year's barely begun! But I reckon I can pull through.

For anyone else who might read this or stumble across it, I suggest you get the help you deserve asap because otherwise you may regret not getting it. Everyone deserves to be happy and everyone deserves to have a life to look back on that they're proud to say they lived.

Good luck guys!!! And all the best for 2013. Let's make it a good one. :)
