Holy sh*tsnacks two posts in one day....this could break the internet :P Then again I can never pass up a music meme!

Nabbed from sillie82's journal. I used the rules I remember from before - iPod on shuffle and write the first line of the first 20 songs that came on, no skipping! sidenote: I used my 'Driving tunes' playlist (200+ songs) since when I tried the whole iPod a lot of EBM stuff came on...EBM isn't big on lyrics. I also went with 'first line of song' disregarding any sampling/spoken random bits.

So anyone reading this want to have a go at guessing the songs these lyrics come from? I'll post the answers as they are guessed correctly.

1. There is just enough Christ in me to make me feel almost guilty
2. Driving me on with the wind in my back
3. If you like to gamble I tell you I'm your man - Ace of Spades - Motorhead (jenniekitty)
4. Yo listen up here's a story ~ Blue (da ba dee) - Eiffel 65 (sillie82)
5. Let me tell you about a girl I know - Date Rape - Sublime (jenniekitty)
6. It's early morning, the sun comes out - Rock you like an hurricane - Scorpians (jenniekitty)
7. Dear mother can you hear me whining - Welcome to Paradise - Green Day (jenniekitty)
8. This time, taking it away, I've got a problem
9. I am the one, I am the one that you need
10. Great pains, I've gone to gang slang
11. Play again? - Pong (terrorfrequenz remix) - Eisenfunk (jenniekitty)
12. They call me "the leather apron" - Blood Red Sandman - Lordi (jenniekitty)
13. Caught here in a firery blaze
14. I am a bitch, How do you want me?
15. The bass, the rock, the mic, the treble ~ Shut me up - Mindless Self Indulgence (sillie82)
16. Now, as I lay here in the dark - My Funeral - Dope (jenniekitty)
17. There's no money, there's no posessions - Between Angels and Insects - Papa Roach (jenniekitty)
18. Break me down, you got a lovely face - Crazy Bitch - Buck Cherry (jenniekitty)
19. I get we gotta run
20. Let's leave this for another time

21. This is a song about the German clubs - tdzv - Faderhead (jenniekitty)

The bonus was for the fact that I can't work out the actual name for 20 (my ipod doesn't agree with the internet)
Also I love how 4 looks like it should roll into 5 - the songs couldn't be any more different

I'll be amazed if anyone reads this let alone guesses some of these :P

Looks like I'm still super lame at updating in 2015 too! *le sigh*


The letter meme.
sillie82 gave me the letter "H". If you'd like a letter, let me know. :)
Something I hate strongly dislike: Haters,
Something I love: Hummous, Harry Potter (books/films/world/everything), Hot Chocolate,
Somewhere I've been: Harry Potter studio tour (x3), Huddersfield (lived there for 3 years while at uni), (Hed)p.e. gig,
Somewhere I'd like to go: Harry Potter world (Orlando, Florida).
Someone I know: Higgins, Rosy.
A film I liked: Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban (the best of the lot)

'H' was a rather difficult letter O.o all I can say is it's a bloody good job Harry Potter begins with an H :P

Needless to say I've been really bad at updating this (yet again). Here's a quick look at some highlights of my 2014

January - London - Birthday trip - Wicked, Tower of London, The Globe, National Gallery

March - my 3rd trip to America - Boston, Ma (Anime Boston - Cosplayed Zell (Final Fantasy 8) and Misa (Death Note) )- and trips to Salem, Ma, Providence, Ri and Foxwoods Cassino, Ct

May - MCM London Expo - Cosplayed Louise (Bob's Burgers) and random Slytherin student  

June - Download Festival ~ The Offspring, Twisted Sister, powerman 5000, Skindred, Rob Zombie, Avenged Sevenfold, Linkin Park, Status Quo, Buck Cherry, Crazytown, Volbeat, Aerosmith - to name but a few

August - Infest Festival - VNV Nation, Juno Reactor, Ashbury Heights, Xenturion Prime  - again to name a few

October - MCM London - Cosplayed my 'cyber' version of Loki - Saw Daniel Radcliffe, the original red, black and blue Power Rangers and randomly the actor that plays Eric Pollard from Emmerdale (I don't watch soaps) in Kings Cross

November - Thought Bubble - dressed as Cyber Loki again - met Al Ewing and Kieron Gillien and also got to hang around with Draykonis (or UnassumingPumpkin as she's now known)
- New car - traded in my beloved but starting to break badly VW fox (Jay) for a nice shiny new Renault Clio (I've named Jonty because he's far to posh for me :P)

December - Harry Potter Studio tour - for the 3rd time ^^ 2nd time seeing the 'Hogwarts in the Snow' event

~ A low light was the ending of my favourite night club 'The Wendy House' the place was briliant, full of awesome people, good music and within 10 minutes walk from the flat. I'd been going to it for 11 years. Still haven't found a replacement :'(

I might be getting a wee bit festive ~ I spent most of my work day visiting a lot of wards including some Kiddie ones, most of which have their Xmas decorations up, the few radios I heard had festive songs playing too. Then I met my mum for lunch and she treated me to a trip to the German Market. Although no mulled wine was had (this time) it's still an awesome place to visit :D

My shopping is starting to get underway ~ though I'm struggling for ideas for the parents, both have festive Birthday's (25th and 27th) too >.< ~ I'm hoping to start writing my cards and get the flat decorations up this weekend!

Speaking of holiday cards, see this post if you'd like one from me :)

I'm highly anticipating my 'festive mood' to slide into place next Thursday when its HOGWARTS IN THE SNOW time! aka yet another trip to the Harry Potter Studio Tour :P

Well look at this, I do remember how to post. Sorry it's been an epic while ~ I've actually been doing some fun things
- Infest,
- MCM London Expo (saw Dan Radcliffe's pannel and some of the original power rangers)
- Thought Bubble (got to see the artist formerly known as Draykonis again :D).
- Got me a new car (called Jonty, since he's a lot posher than my old car)

And I've booked to go back to the Harry Potter tour again!...for the third time :D

Anyway catch up aside - the meaning behind this post...

~~~ Tis that time of year again!! Holiday Cards! ~~~ Would anyone like a Christmas/Holiday card?

If so, please leave your name and address (I don't mind posting internationaly) and I shall add you to the hopefully growing list, comments are screened.

As usual, If you've received a card from me in the past and you've not moved you'll more than likely be getting one. If you have moved then the current occupiers of your old address will be getting one :P

Wow, just wow ~ I've been incredibly awful at updating or even checking this thing lately (by lately I mean the last 3 months) normally I at least manage to check my flist. This time I failed at even that :(

I'm sorry if I've missed anything important, but at this point I feel that going back and commenting on posts that are months old would be an odd/awkward thing to do ~ Please, please, please feel free to tell me about important posts you'd like me to look at or things you'd like my opinion on! I'm sure I've missed out on seeing some of the awesome things my very talented flist has created.

So yeah, sorry ^^ shall try to be better *determined face*
I missed interacting with you guys!

Well I really kept up to the 'update more' goal didn't I? ^^ Here's a bit of an update ~ can't you tell that I should totally be doing something else right now *cough*packing*cough*

I'm intending on posting some photos from my 2nd visit to the Harry Potter tour last November (yep I'm bad) and my kind of birthday trip to London back in January. Need to pick out my favorites

Randomly started going to 'Circus Skills' which is a lot of fun and getting less painful by the week :P My main focus is poi (which I can now turn round with without hitting myself in the face! so yaaay!) I do tend to prat around with a hoop sometimes too.

And on Thursday I fly to Boston! *excited* Got 9 days in the states ~ planning on going on mini-missions (Foxwoods/Salem) we're also going to Anime Boston while there which should be fun! never been to an American Con before. Haven't been to an anime con in general since 2009. I've dug out my Misa (Death Note) and Zell (Final Fantasy 8) cosplays, quite glad they still fit, I appear to have lost weight ^^

Now I shall be off to make a list of things I could do with not forgetting to pack/do before I go...or sleep, if I'm being honest it'll be sleep...

...the poshest hotel I've ever stayed in!

This was the place I was being put up in (not by the NHS I should probably add, they just paid my travel) I don't think I like the posh interactions (seriously someone called me ma'am, I almost cracked up) the room however was pretty fab! and the food was realy nice. Though there appeared to be cushion obsession going on. It's called Aviator and was next to a private airport in Farnborough.

Hotel photosCollapse )

And here's some photos of London looking all pretty with it's lights on

London lights...Collapse )
Speaking of London ~ I'm going again on Wednesday. Tickets for Wicked have been booked and Cyberdog have a sale on *bounces* tis a good job I'm getting money for my birthday this year :P

It's calling twice actually.

Next week work are sending me on a residential training course to Frimley ~ will be passing through London to get there. Best bit about this one is that the hotel I'm being put up in is like £190 a night!...and I'm gunna be there for 2, also get breakfast and dinner (the menu looks expensive) :P anyone who knows me in rl will probably be wetting themselves at the idea of me in a super posh hotel, I know I am.

The second trip is happening a week later ~ actually staying in London this time ~ bit of a birthday treat to myself ^^

Trying to plan some things to do while there that don't require much walking/standing and aren't too expensive, anyone any ideas/suggestions? If anyone's got any suggestions for pubs/restaurants too that would be great!

Also thinking about going to a show so main question and reason for this post ~ Does anybody have any recommendations for a show (or two) to see while I'm in London? (gunna be there 22nd-24th)

I've already seen 'We will rock you' and 'Rock of ages' I'm thinking Wicked but can't decide ^^
