download fest!!!!

Really cant wiat until Wednesday when i go to download! 5 whole days of muddy, metal headed camping! Im actually hoping the weather will be somewhat better then the last few days! But who cares, its five days away from home, and theres quite a few friends going! Me and Ali are sharing a tent, which may seem somewhat dangerous, especially after what happened when we went to Birmingham, but i promise to behave myself, at least, to a certain extent! We also have big Dom, Nick, Woodzy, Kayleigh & Jo, Liv and Gizmo are all going, with the possibility of a few others who I have forgotten. All in all, it will be alot of fun! We all (for the most part) are planning on camping all together, and Nick is bringing a gazebo which i plan to put up in the middle of all our tents. If i have my way, I will also be doing a bbq for everyone on the wednesday evening after all the tents are pitched etc. Still need to buy food and alcohol for it tho, but going to the base on tuesday, so will hopefully get wig to buy the stuff i need! Will also need spending money, but i will cope!

They have finally put the times onto the line up list, and have, with some expected changes, written up my preferred line up as to who i want to see...

Saturday seems like its going to be a fairly quiet day, quiet being the wrong word going to a big metal festival with loud music and such, but you get the drift. Sunday will be drastic, theres quite a few bands that overlap with timing etc and im still in two minds as to which ones to see.

This is the biggest highlight of my life, honestly, I havent been this anxious about anything this big. It really will be epic! Its also my first big festival.

In other news, I still havent heard back from the Britannia about the job. Ive heard, via Rahim, the the area manager has said yes to me having the job, but I suppose they are waiting for the new general manager to start on the 16th before getting me in. They also know that I have Download booked as a holiday, so proberly dont want me to start, work 2 days then take a week off on holiday, to come back to new management etc. Will give them a ring if i havent heard anything by the time I get back!

I'm also monitorless... (i just invented that word, shut up) thats right, my nice big 21 inch widescreen went bye bye and to the electro heaven. It recignizes that my computer gets turned on, and comes out of stand by, but the screen stays black. Maybe its cos throughout the 3 or 4 years that ive owned it, its only spent about a week actually turned off! Been looking around at prices and stuff, and can get a nice 26 inch for about £150 so maybe its time to start hinting at birthday presents etc.

in other random new, nothing much else is really going on. Im missing the last "friday gathering" at beths, as they are moving out on the 16th. That seems to be a really busy date. Will pop round when i get back from download just to say goodbye to everyone, but they are still staying in oxford, so its not really goodbye. Im still single, got two girls who want to go out with me, and we all know what im like for making my mind up on something. I like them both, and dont know what to do! One of them isnt pushing it, but the other keeps asking me out, and I've said no, at least, in the respect that i wont date anyone until after download but i cant keep saying no, and making up excuses, i need to sort something out. Been watching a ton of anime again, and downloading quite a bit. hehehe... Thats it for now, proberly wont post again til after download, so keep tuned kiddies!

Peace xxx
