This is the day after Ultimate Events and I’m still feeling the effects of it by having a sore throat and feeling dazed so this is going to be a shortie.
I had to wake up so early at around 5:30am to be able to get up and travel to the meeting point where the mini bus will arrive to pick everybody up. The people I was travelling with mainly was from a baptist youth group thingy and therefore didn’t know many of them. It was okay though as everybody got on.
We managed to arrive at Alton Towers at a better time than last year due to setting off earlier. The rides that I managed to get on was Air, Nemesis, Congo River Rapids, and the boat River Bank Eye Spy ride which was strangely enjoyable but mainly cause we nearly tipped the boat over with some good farm noises. This was good that I managed this many as normally UE means that the queues are wild. I prefer the new skyride as it been replaced with new carriages.
The live music in the evening was fantastic with the highlights for me being YFriday and certainly Kutless. I liked some of Superchick set but I felt like it was cheesy at times. I did feel bad for them when there was somebody behind me yelling to them to get off. I didn’t go the gym this week but the amount I jumping and hand waving must of made up for this.
So yeah.. good times! 
Cheers everybody again for making the day so fabulous for me and extra thanks for the people running this trip, dropping me off going out of their way. (Y)

Tomorrow morning (if the snow or the ice haven’t closed the college), I have to do my radio show in my group which will be graded by the tutor. I am the producer of the show which basically means that I am the leader and also that I do the mixing desk. I wish I didn’t say we go first as I haven’t had a chance to play with the suite due to the college being closed the whole week. When I wake up I need to get some songs and print things out but I’m too knackered at the moment to do that.
On Saturday I went to the gym and for the first time did my routine without a person assistant which felt good. However I forgot to do the stretches after the warm up which was silly of me. The water that they sell there really annoys me as the label keeps coming off and the plastic is thin. I will have to remember to bring my own for Monday.For some reason I get a rush from the gym and feel alive. its really strange.. I felt warm for most of the rest of the day as well.
Today I went to see ‘He’s Just Not that into You’ and I’ll give it four stars. I thought it was funny, had a good soundtrack and you felt cheerful and smiley at the end of it. I loved their version of ‘Somewhere only we know’ by Keane as they remixed it to work with the scene. I liked how you thought you could guess the storyline but the result was a tad different to what you taught was going to happen. I suck at reviewing movies but that my badly written view.
Talking about Keane, my family is going to see them at The O2 this Friday. I’m a tad worried on if the weather will muck things up and if my sister be able to get down from the North. I emailed their customer support to see what happens if you can’t attend due to extreme conditions however they didn’t want to comment in time for this post. I don’t think I should of mentioned my blog when I contacted them.

Meh, I hate having to use the old crappy shared computer downstairs due to the computer dieing, and it has died at the worse time ever as I have lots of coursework to do. I got so annoyed with the broken computer that I ripped the hard drive out of it, and then smashed it around outside then finishing it off with the hammer. I ordered a Dell computer though even though my parents cannot really aford it.
I really miss XP. I really miss it today as my 8GB Mp3 Player arrived today and I couldn’t add any songs to it due to the player needing that OS or above (hopefully). I say hopefully as the computer that will be arriving will have Vista on it.

Kiddies.. This post could be offensive. Contains Swearing.
I am really tried after going to the gig. I was really surprised on how good the music was and that the place wasn’t empty but I now stink of smoking now though because most of the people were.
I got dropped off on Cowley Rd with my sister after my Dad went completely the wrong way. We popped over to very busy KFC for dinner then after eating it down sitting on the street, we went to the Zodiac. We went to the bar and got some drinks and stood around for awhile waiting for the gig to start. After awhile standing up we sat down by the way when a group of people began to chat with us. We found out that they were friends with TaTT and that they lived around here. We chatted with them throughout the gig but they wisely left earlier than us.
Tristan and The Troubadours decided to play some new songs for us, some so new that it was being sang for a notepad. I really like this sound that they have got, and I thought it was wried yet cool that the band includes two drummers, and violin. Though I do have to say it did have some songs where it was crap beginning to them, they were really good. I felt that Tristan and The Troubadours and Vamos where very good and one of the bands you should look out for.
However, when Dead Class began, it wasn’t to my taste. I didn’t hear it as music but as a loud racket that seemed to be the same with every song. Half of the crowd seem to think the same way as me, as when they got after a few songs, nearly all the crowd had left. I decided to do the same thing and scrolled around Tescos than had a Sub while waiting to be picked up.
