Download Festival vs Sonisphere Festival

THE BIG FIGHT!

Download Festival vs Sonisphere Festival!

Ok, so usually there would be no competition whatsoever, but this year Download have done something incredible - they've got an alright line up - pretty much for the first time since 2005 tbh haha.

Sonisphere is sooooooooo much better in terms of everything, the organisation is 100000% better, the stewards know what they're talking about, its much more relaxed, the atmosphere is better, theres alot less people in comparison to Download because Download pulls the mainstream card most years, aaaaand the distance between stages and campsite aaaand stage times (no clashes) its just puuuuurfect.

Download on the other hand, that walk, yes THAT STUPID FUCKING WALK, ruins everything. Oh and they say the bands won't clash, but they do, and they don't group similar bands together, which means alot of running around through masses of crowds, and the reason they do this? Well its obvious, if all the bands were grouped together people would buy day tickets, and Livenation are money grabbers rememeber :) They'll do anything for more money - even going as far as getting My Chemical Romance to headline just because they're current.

So as you can tell, I love Sonisphere so so much, and I'm actually pretty devastated that its Download with the good bands and not them, but I guess the bands are what its all about.

So then... The Comparison.

SO FAR...

Bands I want to see:

Download Festival

1. The Prodigy
2. Machine Head
3. Fear Factory
4. Metallica
5. Tenacious D
6. As I lay dying
7. Trivium
8. Black Sabbath
9. Soundgarden
10. Megadeth
11. Lamb of God
12. Devildriver
13. Killswitch Engage
14. Fozzy
15. Anthrax
16. Sebastian Bach
17. Devin Townsend Project
18. Soil
19. Sylosis
20. The Defiled
21. Periphery

Sonisphere Festival

1. Kiss
2. Queen
3. Faith No More
4. The Darkness
5. Marilyn Manson
6. Cypress Hill
7. Andrew W.K
8. Skindred
9. Lacuna Coil
10. Hundred Reasons

Obviously Download would have a heads up anyway because they've announced more bands, but the difference really is - alot of my fave bands are playing Download, its looking like a pretty good metal festival so far and thats what they've always lacked in the past.

I'll come back to this closer to the time, but its looking like Download is waaaay ahead this time................. unfortunately haha.


OHHHHHH ONE LAST THING!!!

Flat, Diet, Anniversary

I am devastated at how this is working out right now. I did intend to write a big blog update but I never have the time :/

Anywho - Me and Dean have been working like 5 nights a week for the best 7 weeks and its suchhhhh a killer. I'm on this course from my GP to lose weight, which seems to be going really well though :) I've been going the gym twice a week after work, for 60-80mins and I've cut out all chocolate, crisps, chips throughout the working week and I'm on the Orlistat again too. So far this week I've lost 5pounds :)

This weekend (I'm off on Mon&Tue but its myyyy weekend haha) we had an Oscars night and bought loads of goodies to nom on which was realllllly good :) I kinda regret it, but I'll just make sure I work extra hard in work &gym instead. We had a kfc, custard donuts, yorkies, time outs, rowntrees very berries, rowntrees randoms and some magic stars haha mmmmm Back to the salads and fruit tomorrow though.

Also, my manager in work, Mary, found out I like knitting and all stuff like that and apparently shes a ninja knitter. She messaged me on facebook saying she'll teach me how to knit before work which is AWESOMMMMME. Maybe I'll finally be able to knit a fishnet/whalenet jumper haha :)

Oh oh oh and yesterday - I went on a bit of a shopping spree :D I bought a S.O.P.H.I.E. wristband (AGAIN - as Dean broke my last one!!), a S.O.P.H.I.E. bag patch, and an awesome skeleton hand vest, aaaaand, some new bedroom furniture for the flat :)



Also, mine and Deans 8 year anniversary is coming up - HOW CRAZY IS THAT HAHA :) We've both got 10 days booked off work which is awesome :D Gonna try and make the most of it by going out and seeing friends, hopefully DYING MY HAIR WHITE etc, also Dean has a gig which im going to. Should be good :) AAAAANNNNDDDDD, Deans buying me a coffee maker :D:D:D:D Not sure which one yet though

Quick post

Just a quick post/update :) Everything is great in the flat, its just a case of buying stupid things like bedside tables and curtains - unimportant stuff basically. I'm gonna write a full blog post another day to update on EVERYTHING thats happened since October.

Christmas was really good but weird haha Waking up and seeing Dean straight away was strange for a start, and then getting up and having breakfast and opening presents in our own flat.... just weiiiird haha.

Quick updates anywho ...

I have a hamster, shes called Chewy and her full name is Miss Chewbacca Evans-Carr haha :D
I have a new blackberry - the blackberry torch 9810 .. although my charger just broke GAAAAY
I've restarted my 365 for 2012, probs won't be able to finish it though since the world ends this year EUGH.
Ermmmm.... I'm soon to go Platinum blonde. I wanna do some sort of video diary of the process but we'll see
I'm workin in Asda 4 & 5 days at the moment, hopefully I'll get a proper contract soon :)
Ermmmmm.. Thats it for now

TRAAA LAAAA :)

Everythings coming along nicely :)

Happy happy right now :) The flat is coming along nicely. Johns finishing up the painting in the next few days, Barrys put all the blinds up, we're getting a new sofa off Carl & Nat, and we ordered the carpets today :)

Colour schemes for the rooms:

Living room - Cream/Beige carpet, classic cream walls and 1 feature wall (yet to be decided, probably brown)
Hall - Cream/Beige carpet & Empress Green walls
Kitchen - Cream floor tiles (already there), classic cream walls & 2 red walls, wood furnishings
Bedroom - Black carpet, dove grey walls & 1 feature black wall with purple stuffs in
Spare room - Black carpet, white walls and everything inside will be black
Bathroom - We're gonna get slate tiles (probs Lino :P) but at the moment its blue with white walls

Also I have a pantry in the kitchen which I'll be painting once we're in there, and by the front door we have a recess which I like to call my Dungeon :P I'll be painting that and making it into a cloak room when we're in :)

Booo and Yaaaay haha

Really getting withdrawl symptoms from not writing on my blog :( Its just so hard to find the time right now with only using Deans laptop.

Good news is upon us though :D.. Got a phone call from One Vision Housing last week, after LOTS of fucking about, the old tenants have now handed in the keys to our flat AND, yesterday a One Vision van was outside the flat all day. GOOOD TIMMMES. Soo, I'm hoping we'll be getting a viewing in about a week or 2.

Now for some bad stuff to talk about :( Today I'm getting a blood test for the first time since I had my councelling (video is on youtube). I had a needle when I had my tooth out, but it wasn't the same. I'm not gonna lie, I'm really really scared. I keep doing things which my councellor told me to stop doing as it doesn't help the phobia, but I can't help it :( I always struggled with having the inner part of my elbow and arm exposed, and today I can't stop twitching my arms. I'm actually struggling to type because my arms are extended. I must get over this, I can't let it control my life again :(

Plodding along

Fuck all has happened :/ I'm just plodding along, work, tv, sleep pretty much.

About the only drama I've had is losing my favourite (and only) lip bar. Just ordered a new one so hopefully it will arrive soon so my piercing doesn't close over.

Ermmmmm.. also Korn Again at the Krazyhouse was beyond epic. First time i've actually seen them and felt like I was at an actual gig and not just there to see my boyfriends band :) Good stuff.

2 days ago Korn Again played Gasworks Bradford again which was great as usual. The crowd wasn't amazing but I think it has something to do with it costing £4 to get in when last time it was free.. plus people could see and hear the band from upstairs anyway haha Then we stayed out for Wizzzzzzs birthday which was cool. Lots of drinks and strobes in a random place :P

Oh and can I just say, I love my baby Dean :) When i came home from work this morning at 6am, there was a big plate of Spagetti Bolognese waiting for me. IT WAS AWESOMMMMME. ♥♥♥

Oh and we're going to Chester Zoo on Thursday for Riks Birthday which should be cool. Can't wait to see Trav n Daisys faces when they see the Elephants and Giraffes XD

My Birthday & Sonisphere

Well, my birthday bbq was brilliant :D Dean sorted out the food as always cause hes the resident bbqer :P and we had looots of drinks :) Lots of people turned up too but it wasn't too crowded like we were worried about. 20 people fit in the bungalow can you believe it!! haha nah we were in the back garden luckily :P LUCKILY the weather was perfect :)

Brilliant night and theres actually still quite alot of alcohol left so might have to do it again :P

Its just a shame my actual birthday didn't follow that pattern :/ Started off by getting some great presents off Dean :) A cat ears hoody and Dance Central xbox Kinect game, however we couldn't use the game because we didn't have a Kinect adapter. Soooo, we went to the Strand to buy a new xbox and trade in our old Elite. The plan for the night was to go to the Cinema and for a meal, with me Dean my mum and whoever else wanted to come, however didn't quite pan out! Dan got arrested for smoking/in possession of weed, and there were random strangers in the house cause the police had left them there (they're Dans friends, but theyr strangers to me). So I spent my birthday waiting in a fucking police station for Dan, and when we does come out, he had the cheek to just grin then walk away and not even say happy birthday or anything, he didn't even say hi.

Me n Dean ended up going for a meal alone anyway without my mum and then went to see Transformers which was good. Just a shame it was overshadowed by all the drama :(

I really don't know whats happened to him lately. In the space of only a month or two, hes been involved with the police on numerous occasions, had fights and lost his gf Mel (which I'm actually quite devastated about - shes so lovely and meeting her was the best thing that ever happened to him) If he carries on like this hes going to lose his job :/

Anywhooooo Sonisphere was awesome :) Bands were excellent and pics to follow! Unfortumately Miread (Jays gf) had toncilitus so couldn't really talk or drink so a mad one was off the menu, but we had a good time anyways :)

Righty, Dean will be home soon :) Oh last but not least, Deans got a job working nights, so we'll be working together :D Most people say they'd hate it, but i think we'll be fine :) We'll be on completely different aisles anyway and the only time we'll see eachother is at breaks or if hes walking past. Plus we'll save on taxis :) yaaaay
