:D

I got to the venue at 4pm and the line wasn't that long, which was good! Because I was alone it was a bit boring and lonely for a few hours until a friendly French girl came and talked to me and asked where to get the ticket she booked from as she only just decided to come to all the UK shows after seeing them in the two French shows(!). This was about 6pm. At 6.30pmish she started talking with the two people next to me and I joined in, then she moved further up the line to talk to someone else (that was obviously her plan at getting up the line...). But i continued to talk to the two next to me and I went in with them when the doors opened at 7.30pmish.
continues... )
 
 
Thanks for reading!

Sorry I havent posted for a while! I went to visit my great-auntie Friday-Monday and we went to London. I'll post about that soon.
But today I'm going to Manchester for the D'espairsRay concert! I'm excited to be back in Manc and for the gig! BUT Ellie can't go anymore so I'll be all alone so I'm a bit worried about that and also it's a bit sad :( 
I should be back at the weekend depending on how long i stay, I'll post then!

I've had quite a bit a spare time so I've watched some stuff lately.

Gokusen 3 Special -good but same as usual.
Rookies Special - waste of time because it was just a recap through all the storyline with scarce commentary.
Pyrokinesis - weird and kinda cheesy. (i just randomly found this one)
Negative Happy Chainsaw Edge - haha great film! Miu is wonderful in it: blond hair seems to be dangerous for him though, even if it is highly adorable. Main male character is Hayato Ichihara who (oddly enough) is the guy in Rookies with the funny voice. So he has that voice in real life then, wow, (sounds funnier in Rookies though, to the point that it's annoying).  Anyway I think it's a beautiful film. 
My Boss My Hero (jdrama) - at first I thought it was just light-hearted and funny until I was reminded that it was a jdrama after a few episodes, so it was bound to make me sad at some point. It was very funny at places though. At one point the fact that a 28 year old wanted to date a 17 year old was a bit o_O in my opinion though. And yey for Koki. Also very inspiring in some aspects. Thanks Daria! :)

Today I went shopping with my mum and some of her friends. It was an enjoyable day and I came back with some makeup and 3 tshirts (which is a lot for me). And I just ordered a new laptop because the blue screens are getting unbearable and I'm sure it's about to explode.

Well it's hot. 33 degrees celcius at the moment..so I'm hiding out in the air conditioned mobile home for the time being! 

We havent done much yet as our flight got in 9.00pm on Sunday; it took us 2, frustrating, horrible hours to find the hotel, the map said it was 10 minutes away, the closest hotel, easiest to get to as you didn't have to go into the nearby town of Bergamo (which we went in atleast 3 times by accident, we went back to the airport 3 times as well).

Then yesterday we went into Bergamo's old city (so pretty) and then drove to the campsite which took 2 and half hours but luckily we didnt get lost :) Just stayed around the campsite, ate in the campsite restaurant and went down the out campsite beach on the lake.

And today we went in the pool and that's pretty much it so far.

I have taken photos but my mum's laptop doesnt have a card reader and I didnt bring my USB cable :O

Mostly all I've been doing at home is playing The Sims 3 o_O oh dear, so not much has happened since my last post.

I got bored so did a twisted french manicure on myself xD



^_^ )
MR. Brain episode 2 was amazing! Yey for Gackt. I'm desperate for the 3rd one but I don't want to watch it without subs as it will spoil it :P 
Really not impressed with the Kame haters, what's the point in not watching the episode just because Kame is in it!!!??? I'm thinking I might join in the support giving but I don't know what to saaaaay.

New girugamesh and since1889 single are gooood! I'm glad I like the since1889 one, I'm not going musically soft :D

Ok, I'm off to Italy for 12 nights now, I'm sure I'll have internet access though!

Ok I dont know how I'm going to do it but I've got to get there.
I don't know who would go with me though.

And it is 2 days before the exam period.
But last time I wasn't allowed to go and now I can do whatever the hell I want (and it's on a Saturday).

FUCK YEAH BRING IT ON! 

Ok so who wants to go with me? And where the hell should I stay?!

Yey advent!
Mum got me an advent calender yesterday when she came to visit. It's not normal though and has minture Dairy Milk chocolates and today it was a Turkish Delight one......which I was not over joyed with. But otherwise...Happy December!! 

I studied the wrong kanji for the kanji test....that was fun...

I have a meeting with my personal tutor tomorrow. He is a strange lecturer of Japanese History and he wears sandels all the time, even now.

Also....
Severe weather warnings for North West England! 
Heavy SnowTue 2 Dec

There is a moderate risk of a severe weather event affecting parts of northern England, the far northeast of Wales and much of the Midlands. There is the potential for 2 to 5 cm of snow associated with a band of wintry precipitation, moving quickly southeastwards during Tuesday morning.

We shall see....
It snowed a tiny bit today, for about a minute. It's sooo sooo soo cold. I want my Canda coat from home :( *freezes*

I came back from reading week to find a note that said "We have a mouse in our kitchen".
mousieeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!! 
Then later on there is a voting thing and in 1 column it says "kill the bastard" and in one it says "set a humane trap". At the moment it is 3 vs 4 respectively. WE CAN'T KILL MOUSIE
There was no "keep him and call him charles and live happily ever after with the mousie" option, Hannah forgot that one. I was going to add it but they might think I'm a bit mad.
I went to look for him but he is nowhere to be found.
And there is poison behind the fridge!!! Nooooooooooesss! 
See what happens when I'm gone for half a week! Jeez.

Good to be in Mancland.
Kanji quiz tomorrow, oh hell.

I feel so tired and weak that I just want to go and sleep for a day, but I just put my washing in the machine and I need to put in the dyer too...noes. And now Jim is quizzing me about the Pasta I ate. He said I have to have Spag Bol with garlic bread tomorrow, I HAVE to. Oh he said I am allowed to have the Chili Con Carne I have in the freezer but it's not as good. Bless him <3

Today I had my second meeting with my language partner Erika. She brought her friend Rika too. It was really fun, they taught me some stuff and we talked, mostly in English. Erika likes J-dramas too and she loves KAT-TUN. It's so amazing!! :D I had a lot of fun :D They're great :)

Ahh I wish the person who has stuff in the dryer would get it out, I want to put my clothes in!

Well i was suposed to post during the week but I couldn't be bothered really :P 

My language classes have been good. My tutor guy who teaches us is Kitagawa sensei, he's cool, but new so he doesn't know much about how things work with is kind annoying. There are about 14 of us intermediate people which is a good size I think, for a class. At the moment we are just going over basics and stuff which is good, I am sooooo glad. You can tell who the quicker and smarter people or slower people are. There's one guy who knows a lot, he's the best by far.

I enjoyed my first Japanese history lecture, it's really interesting. Apparently we have to go to the library and read up on what we are going to learn before we learn it, which I think is a waste of time really but ah well, whatever. We havent had an seminars yet though. Thursday was a bit mad with having to go to the City Campus to do my extra module, french, which finished at 8:30 and you arent suposed to walk alone in the dark because Manchester is dangerous so yeh pain in the arse. I'll have to figure something out.

We've been in the common room downstairs a few times. I'm really getting on well with my flat mates and I even went to a club yesterday and enjoyed it even though my feet were about to actually fall off, we got soaked on the way there and back, Fran fell over and was worried about her arm, and Jemma got so drunk I had to support her home. But it was fun.

Lots of work is probably going to get piled on me soon though, then I will be less happy.

And I miss family + friends + Jim + Em and Jen lots because they havent even talked to me online for 2 weeks or something :(

So scared + sad + nervous + excited.
More negatives than positives :P It was saying the goodbye to Jim before :P Well until 2 weeksish xD

Move in tomorrow but  nothing much will happen until Saturday and the it's Fresher's Week.

I'll probably post tomorrow as well. Hopefully.

Wish me luck :P

And Stef's dad could not fix it and this morning it wouldnt turn on and went BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP. Literally, it lasted forever.
So now it wont turn on and there if stuff that I haven't backed up and I really do not want to loose it.
I finally told mum and she said not to worry about it today, because it's my party today, and she'll help me get it fixed.
So that's good :)
But I'm scared about loosing all the pictures, photos, music and video that I haven't backed up! :'(
I am going to have to fight Gina for the home computer now.

My birthday was good though :)
I had tonkatsu for my main meal at Etsu and niku gyouza for starters. Yumm :D
And the boss gave me some sake for a present :P
I think I'll take pictures and stuff of presents and things soon and I can probably put them on this computer.
