Ivo put on 2 amazing gigs at the Blag. Dirty Rev played on the Friday night, and Smokey Bastard played on the Saturday night. It was ace.

Went to what might be the best gig of the year, Franz Nicolay, Ben Marwood and Chris T-T at the Rising Sun Arts Centre, a...

September:
Didn’t get paid from Scribbler. Not cool. Sorted it out in the end by being paid in cash, but still….not cool!
Found a flat we wanted to move into after looking at about 17 million and moved in on the 26th. Stressful, annoying and expensive.
Had the Christmas meeting at Lush where we’re taught about the new Christmas products and get a box full of them to use....

Made excellent banana bread.
My flipping neice...

After 8ish months of being with Mike and frequenting the Blagrave, being served by this lady very often and indeed working with her on several occasions I got a tab under the name “Mikes Girlfriend” (sic).
I finished watching every single episode of Criminal Minds.
It was Field’s birthday and it was beautiful.
Started preparing for the Brighton-to-Reading big ass...

Oh GOD I'm so gloomy now.
Just watched Serenity. I love love loved Firefly, but I am not happy with Serenity AT ALL.
Don’t kill people I like.
Be funnier.
Mainly number 1.
It was like two hours of crying for me.

May:
My birthday month! Yay! I started thinking noone could do anything for it, and realising all my friends are spread out everywhere and that sucked but then at the last minute it all came together. Mike took me to the London Dungeons and that was AWESOME, he also surprised me with a cake from the corner shop at midnight in the pub the day before. The day after we went for a delicious dinner...

Went to a gig in Basingstoke and saw Jon and Laura for the first time in ages. Lovely.
Made pesto.
Did my first couple of shifts at the pubs Mike works in.
Remained unable to get a job.
Went to a lot of Mike’s gigs.

Discovered the lovely world of MEATY LOGS.

Started the year off right, train home early on New Year’s Day, eating boursin with salt and vinegar crisps, crying at telling Mike why I love him.
Went for drinks in Carshalton with two of my favourite women of all time.
Was a bit ill for a few days over Christmas/New Year, recall my throat feeling like there was a razorblade trapped in it. Unpleasant.
Made Mike a Finn from...
Yay material goods.
It may be materialistic but I am very happy, amongst some other bits, I have acquired a sweeeet new pair of headphones because I am a headphone monster and they break all the time. These ones fold up! And mummybear bought us a breadmaker!!

Ahhhhh what.
Last night was awesome. I went to see Ben Marwood, Chris T-T and Franz Nicolay at a tiny little arts centre in town. So tiny! There were like 30 of us in the room, and it was full. For a start, tickets sold out a couple of weeks ago and I was all miserable about it because I didn’t even know they were on sale. Then Ben Marwood done me a twitter saying that he’d left some tickets for me...
