Kings of Leon

I'm Back!
I bet you're relieved. Thought you'd lost me?
Well, no, you wouldn't, becuase I told you where I was going in my last post.
Anyway, I've been to see the Kings of Leon!
But brrrrrrrr, was it cold. I was freezing my antennae off! Well, I don't really have antennae. (they froze off at the gig.)
They were awesome though! They sound the same live as they do recorded! Such quality. It was funny, we were so far back, the people clapping at the front looked like they were clapping out of time, because there was a delay from the music being played and us hearing it at the back. Wierd. Cool though.
So, now I have a week of revision, but the day after my last exam (next tuesday) I am going to see Take That! I know what you're thinking- "golly gosh, she sure goes to see a lot of shows/gigs/concerts!" but it's just a coincidence that the two gigs are a week apart. However, I've seen/ will see a lot more shows/gigs/concerts this year than I usually do. It's an awesome year to be honest!
This is my list of shows/gigs/concerts this year (they're not in order, because I can't remember them all in what order I saw/will see them)-

• Wicked
• Blood Brothers
• Kings of Leon
• Take That
• Blue Man Group
• Peter Kay
• Les Miserables (possibly)
• Flawless
• Romeo & Juliet (by the RSC at Stratford)

I'm sure I've missed a couple off, but I can't think of them at the moment. If I remember them, I'll edit this post and add them on.
You see, I missed Romeo and Juliet off when I posted this, silly girl. Well, I've added it now.
As you can see, I have a wierd range of tastes. Haha, my music tastes are even weirder.
Anyway guys, I'm going to have to stop writing now, because I need to start revising. FUN TIME!
I'm kidding, I hate revision.
Love you guys,
Keep Smiling!

Going Away

So, in a minute, I'll be heading off to coventry. You know why? Becuase tomorrow, I'M GOING TO SEE THE KINGS OF LEON! I'm sooooo exctied, it's unbelievable!
So, in my life this week, I've had four exams, spanish listening, english lit, spanish reading and law. On Friday, (the same day as my law exam), I left school officially! It was an awesome day (apart from the exam, obviously) and I only cried twice. :P
I've only got one exam left now, but that's science, so it's a week of revision for me! Woop! :/
Aww, on Friday, (cue annoying song), my friends got me a huge birthday card signed by everybody. It was so sweet! That was one of the two instances that I cried. :P It wasnt just me with a big card, everyone whose birthday is after we left (i.e- after last Friday) got a card. I forgot to mention, its not my birthday for a few weeks yet. :P I'm really looking forward to my birthday, I'm going out for a meal  with my friends. To be honest though, I'm mostly excited about wearing the dress I plan to wear. xD It's lovely, all red and drapey. Once again, I'm using words that are not words. Oh well, I like making up words. And phrases. Once, I came up with the phrase "stripey rainbox in the mirror." Now, I have absolutely no idea what that means, but thats just the kind of randomness that I am. It's worrying, becuase I'm not the weirdest person in my group of friends! We're very disfuncional, but that's why we work.
Anyway, I'm off now, I'll tell you about the gig when I get back. So Tuesday, probably. :)
Love you guys, and remember,
Keep Smiling!

Random

Ok, so maybe I came across as a bit normal in my first post... believe me, I'm really not. Should I show you my true colours? It might scare you, it's a very garish shade of pink.
You know, I really don't like the colour green. I have no idea why, I have no problem with it in nature, I think it's beautiful, but I just dont like it as an abstract colour. Weird, eh?

I'm not leaving 'till...

Hello!
So, this is the life of an average teenage girl from Staffordshire. I'm far from perfect, but I try my hardest to be good.
Speaking of which, I did an empathy test today. The average score for women is 43. Out of a possible 80 points, I scored 70. Now this is scary. I am very over-empathetic it seems. I'm not really sure if that's a good thing or not, but I will take it as a positive. It does explain why I cry so much at films and television programs, whilst everyone stares at me and says "Liz, it hasnt even started yet, this is just the title sequence."
Well, what can I say, I guess I'm just a kind and caring person (haha). Except if you are my best friend, then I'm merciless ;)
I'll probably be ranting quite a bit. Sorry, by the way, for having to read my internal ramblings, and I do congratulate you for still being here. Here goes.
Here is my first rant: I hate reputations.
 All reputations, whether they are good or bad ones, because they do not define a person, but society seems to think that they do. For example, teenagers have a very bad reputation for being anti-social, vandalistic (is that even a word?) and rude. This is wrong. I'm not anti social, vandalistic (I'm pretty sure it's not a word) or rude. Secondly, I personally have a reputation for being the 'good girl'. Now, I'm not bad, not at all, but my reputation is such that people appologise if they swear in front of me, and assume that I am one of those girls that just sits at home every night, studying. I really don't mind people swearing, as long as it's not every other word, it's just expression. I am definately not one of those girls. If I was, I wouldn't be blogging now, I would be doing my work, like I should be...
Reputations are stupid. If you want to know what a person is like, get to know them, don't just assume they are what their reputation expects them to be.

Did you read that? I highly congratulate you. I promise, not all my posts will be rants about the flaws of society. Maybe I'll create another blog for that, a political blog. Belive me, I could write for hours on that. If I'd have really wanted to bore you to death, I could have written a lot more on the subject.
Ok, I can actually feel you nodding off now. Do not worry. Here is something more interesting (well, it is for me, anyway)-
I'M GONG TO SEE THE KINGS OF LEON ON MONDAY! I am so excited! I will blog about it after, and hopefully upload some pictures as well. It's ridiculous how excited I am, not least because by Monday, I will have officially finished school! Yes, I leave on Friday. Tears all round then. As usual, apparently, with me, becuase I'm so over- empathetic. No, I probably won't cry that much, because I am so ready to leave school! Of course I will miss everyone so much, but I'm going to be starting college in September, and we have a huuuuuge break between, so I will get to do all the things I never got round to doing in the last few years. That is, if I can get the funds. It's hard for an teenage girl to get around and do things when she has no money.
Oh well, things are looking up, I have the whole summer ahead of me, I have my birthday, prom and a whole load of gigs and shows to look forward to, so I am happy!
By the way, the title of my blog is the name of an album by The Gentlemen. You should check them out, they are very good, and a bit unusual, but in an awesome way, like me. :P
Lots of love, and keep smiling,
Lizzie x
