I Said I'd Rather Be With Your Friends Mate, Cos They Are Much Fitter

It's been a little while ey? My excuses include: my computer being on the fritz, so every time I open Picasa everything freezes (grrrrr); my Uni internet not co-operating; and my distinct lack of photo-taking lately (partly due to the fact I can't upload pictures without my laptop dying on me)

HOWEVER...

What I have done recently (and manage to upload photos of successfully!) is only go and meet Kate Nash! My friend Kellie and I went to see her at The Rescue Rooms in Nottingham last week and we stayed for the club night after the gig and got to meet the wonderful lady herself! She even stayed and DJ'd! We met her band too- who all come from where I live- so we had some banter about that! It was the most perfectly cool night I could have had!

 That is a 'cat' on her head. I really wanted it!
 She signed our tickets!
 Kellie and I with the Bassist, Emma- who was so lovely. We had a good dance to Nashy's DJing!
The rest of the week was a fantastic blur of friends, nights out and big realisations. The closer I get to the end of my degree, the more I want to be involved in the music industry. Kate Nash, her band and the support band- Brigitte Aphrodite- were all so positive and encouraging when I talked to them about my musical ambitions. They left me feeling really sure about it.

This week, I'm back home for the Easter holidays (but I go back to Uni way before Easter Sunday- go figure...) Time to work, relax, and make some decisions before the last few weeks of being a student are upon me.

How is everybody? I'll try not to leave weeks and weeks between now and the next post!

ARGH- YOU MET KATE FUCKING NASH?????!!!!!
Sorry, excuse my excitement, but I am actually a bit in love with her.
Ok, not a bit, a lot.
I'm pleased for you that you know what you want to do after uni- Ive got no clue! Other than work in fashion somehow, promoting fairtrade and ethically produced clothing... that would be the dream.
And I know JUST what you mean about coming back before Easter Sunday... me too! So snowed under with work at the minute, it's ridiculous. Joys of 3rd year eh??!
