Bowling For Soup!

[I know we don't normally post our names, but I've already written this and can't be bothered to edit it for this blog]

So, yesterday I woke up with Rachael giving me a cup of tea, that’s a good way to wake up if ever there is one. So we got ready and showered and bathed and all lovely and when we went down for lunch about 12ish, we saw Liam who’d just made his own lunch, but he’d cooked like enough for about three people. Which would have been perfect if it wasn’t chicken and chips, and I’ve given up chips and Rachael’s a vegetarian :L

So Rachael stole a load of his chips and I stole a load of his chicken dipper things and we sorted ourselves out and left!

We got just onto Fareham Road, when we remembered we needed to go and get Rachael’s camera, so we went on a trip round the entirety of Gosport, and then we were finally on our way!

It was a good road trip, we essentially just listened to Bowling all the way there and sung loudly. It’s how we roll.

So, when we got to Brighton, we managed to find a parking space literally about 20 yards from the venue, so we were like

And we left my tiger guarding the car:

And then we went exploring around Brighton.

I managed to navigate us to the North Laines, and find my favourite shop ever, and we also went in this other shop and I bought a bracelet, however Liam remembered that ‘cause we were so excited about Bowling, we forgot it was a pay and display car park :L So we made Liam run alllll the way back to the car by the seafront to make sure we didn’t get a ticket XD Anyway, Rachael and I found shakeaway and it was good. We then went to the pier and played on the tuppeny slots, and we won a grand total of 22p! Brilliant.

Anyway, by this point it was 4:10, and Liam had had an ice cream, so he was happy, so we made our way back to the car and venue, where we got all excited then went and lined up :L We had a really loud conversation in the queue all about Fight Club, so I apologise if someone in that queue hadn’t watched it, but then again if you’ve not watched Fight Club, you’ve probably not lived.

~I wrote this all and then tumblr went and lost it from this point on. So sorry this part is really shit~

So, we eventually got in and somehow we had a conversation about politics… We soon were invited through though, and their main roadie guy was talking to us like, ‘so are you from Bristol or…?’ and I was like ‘…This is Brighton…but no we’re not’ :L And we had a lovely conversation there xD We then got invited up and we got hugs and our posters signed and Jaret pointed out he has my name tattood on his wrist. Obviously ‘cause I’m awesome. Yupyupyup.

We then got our photo taken with them:

And then the gig happened:

I never got any photos of the actual gig bit, they’re all support ^^ but that’s ‘cause the camera died and I was enjoying it too much anyway XD

It was over quickly, sadly, but then I realised I’d been stood up for roughly 6 hours or so, and I really needed to sit down and have a drink, so we got back to the car and I completely crashed and then I went to sleep straight away when we got in as I didn’t feel too good. Not the best end to a fucking brilliant day tbh.

Anyway, this is Rachael’s ‘Morning After’ photo :L She got all ready ‘cause she’s had to go somewhere, she took a photo of me, but it’s so terrible I’m not posting it :L

tl;dr: Bowling for soup and fantastic and lovely and wonderful and I love them.

This is the song that reminds me of my trucker hat!

But, this is a blog post and I'm not exactly sure what a trucker hat is...

Is it like a cap?

I don't know.

Damn my English ignorance!

Anyway, tomorrow we're going to see Bowling For Soup Acoustic in Brighton! We've got VIP tickets and so are gonna meet them and hear their new album and get our photos taken and everything will be good.

Road trip!!

Ok, that's all for now. x

I hear summer's coming round again...

We have a whole week of fun planned! xD How good's that.

'Cause we rock! And we're so damn cool, and life is pretty amazing at the moment. Yeah?!?!

Fun times!!!!!!

sixteen no, i’m ten i’m seventeen

..And a bank of Brune Park Beauty Queen!!

Did you know that we went to Brune Park?! Well we did. It was a good time! Sometimes... We had chip days!!!

We were brilliant! Just ask Dunstan. Dunstan is an English teacher, he taught us both. He's all right. He used to be like "hey, what you doing?" Good times. Crazy days...

They say that I’m insane, but darling they’re blind, if I’m crazy I’m crazy for you.

I'm rather into a band called The Dawn Chorus at the moment.

A friend introduced me to them, apparently his old English teacher is the drummer or something. They're a Portsmouth local band anyhow, and if you like Frank Turner I'd say there's no reason why you shouldn't like them.

This is my favourite song at the moment, and the first song I've heard of theirs; my friend gave me a headphone and told me to 'listen to the best song in existence' and I did. I need to get their old album/s at some point, but for now I'm sticking with The Carnival Leaves Town which is essentially a concept album all about a carnival. Clever. Yeah.

Anyway, as the description on youtube says, it's about the composer Schumann - one of my favourites actually - and his essentially tragic life and love. The singer's voice holds the emotion of the song really well and has a few times when I've been a bit hormonal, brought a tear to my eye. :L

Oh and Frank Turner actually features in a couple of the songs, The Guilt and another one I cannae remember the name of at the point in time. (I've just realised I've typed 'cannae', that's odd...I'm going to leave it in for effect though)

So, go check them out and love them as I do.

They deserve it.

Nihilistic comedy: good or bad?

Comedians have always been controversial, some far more than others. Comedians such as Frankie Boyle, George Carlin, Bill Hicks, Jerry Sadowitz, Sarah Silverman and so many more are known for their cynical, depressing outlook on the world. Often by the media this is highly criticised as unacceptable comedy: jokes about rape, abortions, racism, sexism, war. However these comedians are just the brave ones; the people who have enough confidence to say what most others think. Who else would be able to get up on stage and tell the politicians what everyone really thinks? I certainly wouldn’t.

In 2001, Chris Morris got a lot of backlash from an episode of Brass Eye, a satirical news show program, which focussed on the hysteria the media creates around subjects. This particular episode was about paedophilia and was met with over 2000 complaints and even politicians speaking out against it, who later admitted they hadn’t even watched the show. Surely this proves that the media will now do anything to denounce comedians and satire, without even listening to their point. The media responded hysterically to the notion Brass Eye gave, that the media responds hysterically to controversial subjects, thus proving Chris Morris exactly right. It merely highlighted further the hysteria and hypocrisy the media carries towards controversy.

In King Lear, the Jester is the only one who can tell the King his faults, everything that’s going wrong in his kingdom, the truth, without fear of persecution. Perhaps nihilistic comedians are the Jester of today; the people who highlight the faults, criticise the people in charge, religion, science and the world in general. In true White Chicks fashion, ‘You were thinking it!...But you said it!’ Having the belief and confidence in yourself to say to hundreds of people, sometimes thousands, what no one else has the guts to say has to be one of the most demanding careers around; something we really don’t give enough credit for. These comedians hold up a mirror to the sick society they see before them and show it to the world. We should be thankful for that. We could call nihilistic comedy Dorian Gray’s portrait of our time, showing the world the terrible horror of within, showing what the world is really like to those in charge, to those who seem not to notice.

These comedians are the real voice of the people, not David Cameron or any other politician, musician, or author nowadays. Comedians that tell it how it really is, they put forward most people’s views. They show that being ‘controversial’ isn’t perhaps as controversial as it seems: others agree with you, they just don’t feel the confidence to express it. They show others that they are not alone, and they shouldn’t be afraid to speak up, while adding humour into the situation; and let’s be honest, everyone loves a laugh. No one can go through life without laughing and when given a set in front of you that combines everything you’ve thought to yourself and more said out loud, while encompassing humour, I don’t think it should ever be looked down upon and tried to be hushed up. It should be shouted out loud. Shown on TV before midnight. Given some form of appreciation, because at the moment, it really doesn’t get the credit it deserves. In the current climate, where free expression is largely denied to the voiceless, disregarded by the powerful, isn’t it right that someone is saying what many of us are thinking inside?

The next post is going to be my coursework.

I'll probably take it down once I've done what I need with it, but for a while it might stay there.

Feel free to comment on it and such. It's meant to be written as a blog for intelligent people, so maybe this isn't the best place to road test it ;)

Only jokinggg!

But seriously, don't freak out that an actual, real, serious post is going to be posted.

:) x

You know the bit at the top?

That says 'The Revolution's Never Coming'

Did that used to be clicky?

'cause it's not any more and I think it used to be, and it's a bit annoying it not being so.

We're gonna have to fuck shit up with Blogger now. (N)

1001 now.

He ruined it.

1000 hits!

That's a lot!

Thanks Nathan :L

The Shoesssa! ( IT crowd, yeah?)

These shoes were the most coveted thing in my life, and here they are. On my feet. Hell fucking yes.

It's taken a while. Approximately two years staring at them on screen, failing to ever find a seller who sold my size. Then my 18th birthday my fantastically beautiful, generous and thoughtful boyfriend gave them to me, but in a size 3 which I couldn't get my annoyingly long wide and ugly feet into. But because he is amazing and not the kind to give up, he managed to get them changed into a perfect fit :D

He gave me them this morning, and I haven't taken them off. I can't actually walk yet, but I'm sure all I need is a bit of practise. They're gorgeous, so shiny they make a red reflection on the ground! Once I've learnt to walk I'll go through some foot pampering to cope with the open toe, and everyone will be in awe of my feet.

So fucking happy.

I love you boyfriend. Love

Quiet Revolutionaries.

So, apparently our blog is banned by Janet, our college's filter.

We've decided this is a good thing, despite it meaning that if anyone so wished to read our blog in college they couldn't. This is because, we're obviously far too hardcore for St. Vincent's to handle. They're scared of our revolutionary ideas and ninja skills, they don't want us sharing our beautiful knowledge with any of you lot. (It blatantly has nothing to do with the large amount of swearing/inappropriate thoughts put onto this blog...)

You'll just have to wait until you get home. Shame.

Everything is going my way!

My first eleven days of 2011 have been fucking awesome! Just sayin'

XD

It's New Years Eve Tomorrow...lalalalalala?

That's a lyric yeah? :)

This year is almost done! There's only thirty-three hours left of 2010! Shiiiiit!

Here's a collection of super cool fun times that happened in 2010:

In January we had our first everything of 2010, including the first hamster revolution and sneeze! (Achoo). We also saw Rocky Horror and got all dressed up :) R turned seventeen and that was fun too.

In February we saw Lost Prophets and they were good. E found her lovely boyfriend Matt and trapped him in a net!

In March we saw Alice In Wonderland in the cinema and queued for agesss.

In April we saw Amanda Palmer in Camden and she was amazing and beautiful. We saw Neil Gaiman too, and on the way we saw Bob Geldof as well! Yeahh! We also went to the zoo and watched lots of pretty animals. Even the meerkats! :DD

In May we were like OhMyGod it's May!! We also had super fun times, and danced lots. We did loads of things far too awesome to define with these measly word things you have.

In June we had a party, with people that we didn't know. But it was fun :)

In July E finished the hell that was her exams, and we went off on holiday to a really pretty place called Teignmouth where we watched lots of Family Fortunes with Vernon Kay and went to the beach :)))) E turned 16 and we were like wheyyy you're legal (hehe). A very very special man came all the way from a a far away land called Denny, just to see us and we went for a picnic in a field. Also R found her also lovely boyfriend under a tree where they were attacked by ladybirds.

In August we went to Greenbelt and had really fun times, as well as witnessing...DOUBLE RAINBOW! We had another party with some people that we did know, but also some that we didn't too, but it was lots of fun. We got our results to the scary exams and turns out, we didn't fail! And actually did pretty good, E doing very very good :)

In September E started college which began to destroy her soul, but it's ok 'cause now she's at the same place as R and they can have their souls destroyed together :)

In October we saw Bowling For Soup!!!!!!! and we got sweated on by a fat guy, but we didn't care 'cause they were fucking awesome!!! It was also Halloween, but we didn't care much for that.

In November we saw the newest Harry Potter film in the cinema! And Helena was sexyyyyy. We did lots of Christmas shoppings, and stayed inside lots because it was getting cold outside.

In December we went Devon again, but took those men type things with us to cook meals. We played in the snow by the sea and ate lots of hula hoop sandwiches. Then it was Christmas! And that was super fun. Then we dyed R's hair all dark browny :) Then we wrote this!

That all means it was a good year, but next year will be even better! And we wish you all a very happy new year in 33 hours, and that your next year will be super awesome and only a tiny bit less awesome than ours.

LOVE LOVE!!

I promise you my heart, just promise to sing,

kiss my eyes and lay me to sleep.

November didn't exist anyway.

I can't think of a lyric for that, and as we've failed at the lyric thing in the past few posts anyway, I'm sure it doesn't matter much.

So yeah, November didn't exist and that's why we didn't post in it, obviously...

Ok, we failed, but you forgive us yeah? Ok :)

I've decided now is the time to blog, because my friend in my Language class today made me give the URL to one of our teachers, Maddy, and as nothing had been posted for ages I thought I might try to make it look as if we do still update to this often...

Hi, if you actually look it up like you said you would. :)

In other news, fuck all's happened.

We went Christmas shopping a few weeks ago! That was fun as always, and we're going again to get last few presents this weekend.

Uhmm, We should be going to see Frank Turner tomorrow evening at Southampton Guildhall, but neither of us could afford it, so instead I'm just gonna sit at home listening to him loudly, crying. XD

Uhh, I'm really scraping the bottom of the barrel to find something else to put here... I was going to dye R's hair tonight, but that never happened. Sadface.

And I'm actually going to stop posting shit now.

Laters...on.

FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU-

-UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK

We fail at blogging :(

We used to be so good, but recently it's all gone down hill and for that I apologise.

But I don't want to end on a down note, so here's a song...

...WE'VE GOT ALL THE TIME IN THE WORLD TONIGHTTTTT! (8)

Love love xx

Uhmm...

Well, thing is, last month we only did two posts. And it's kinda approaching the end of October and we've only done three. This makes me really sad. Thing is, I haven't actually got anything to say. So like hey....

Yeah.

You're Still On The Dark Side Of The Moon

And Always On My Minddddd!!!!

We well saw Bowling For Soup last week! :D It was all rather fantastic, and really really good! First we got on a train, and that was lots of fun because Emma missed her mouth with Red Rooster and we LOLd to a high degree. When we got into Bowling we were super excited and hyper and caffeinated. The first support was The Dollyrots with some crazy blonde chick and a pretty boy and they were quite good. Then it was A and they didn't have anyone pretty but they did have a guy that looked like Jesus so that makes up for everything. They were also really good :) The final support was Forever The Sickest Kids, and everyone way liked them, and they were actually really good too so we were like wow three good supports, tonight is amazing!

Bowling For Soup came on and they all looked amazing and were all happy and they played lots of lovely songs and we danced, and sang and were super happy 'cause they were really really good! There was also a big fat guy who seemed to think our evening would be improved if we were drowning in his sweat, and some girl who thought if we passed out from the smell of her breath, it would also add to the experience and preceded to breathe over us in a rather disgusting fashion. But we don't want to end on a down note, so here's a song;

'Sail around the world and tell them all to keep singing it! Lalalalalaaa

All we need's a harmony and we'll convince the world to sing, Lalalalalaaa

Throw your arms around someone

And maybe spread a little love,

I know it sounds a little dumb

(Maybe I'm a little drunk)

All we need is some ice cream and a hug!

X

We're together!

This is our coming out blog...

Nahh, not really, that's all still to come :) We're just together in a literal sense, rather than metaphorical.

Aaaand we have lots to tell you! xD Like Bowling is suuuuuper suuuper soon, like next week!!! xD

College is killing our souls!!! (N)

Radiohead are really lovely and have pretty songs :)

We're really cool! (Y)

We had chocolate with rice in it, and cheryy things :D

This blog just autosaved :O

I was just thinking you should get me some pepsi..."No! You're on drugs!"

So yeah, that was exciting for all of us :)

LOVE LOVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
