So last week I went to Taste Of Chaos
It was a pretty good day to be honest.
I got up at 5, and left my house at about 6:30 and realised I may have to run to catch the train and that was why I had really put my alarm on for 5. It was dark and foggy when Mel and Myself got on the train. The journey seemed to go really quickly, which was weird. We passed Faris in Darwen and tried to signal to him to keep it a secret. Mel played with her orange.

When we got into Manchester we met, Gemma, Ste and Josh at Starbucks. , Gemma, Mel and Myself got the bus to the apollo. We got to the apollo before 9 probably. And there was already a queue! They'd been there since 6! Can you believe that? Insane people. LOL. Josh and Ste eventually arrived. We sat on the steps and mucked around a bit etc. Mel blew up our 4ft ball

We played football round the corner with the ball and it got very dirty. So I cleaned it on my jumper as we were writing on it. It made my jumper ewwwwwy. Then The Blackout's (and Aiden's) tour bus came. As you can imagine this made me rather excited.
We were very hyper and said 'we're going to London to buy a heat magazine' a bit to many times. I was in the queue and Gemma shouted me, as Snoz had come out. So I went round the corner gave him a badge etc. But before this happened, Gemma got run over, it was hilarious, 'I think he's not happy love' LOL. I then got our ball, and Snoz put it on the bus, and it was like phew one less thing to have to look after.

Gavin came out soon after, well I don't know if it was soon after, as all concept of time left me that day. And he also got a badge (I will say this now, they all got badges, so I done need to repeat it) and we talked to him. And I have a very good memory from that moment :D LOL. He'd just got up. But he still looked really pretty.

Well I think I queued next, to be honest you need to queue LOL :P
When I saw Sean there were loads of girls around him, typically. :/ I mean seriously what's so great about Sean? So we just waited until they went, because we are well patient.

I then met Rhys, and he couldn't get his badge on, which made me awww. I love Rhys, haha :) Even if he always wears the same jumper, I seriously hope he washes it, or he has more then one. LOL.

I really shouldn't laugh haha
At some point during this day we were talking to Gavin as he waited for his Taxi, that never came, well it came after he got into another one. LOL. But he was asking us what time we had got here and stuff. And was quite shocked.
We then met James. And he was telling me how my Dragon Pig was. If you don't know me, you will not have heard the story, so might not get it. A photo was taken at this point that I find quite funny.

James then complained to Mel how we weren't ready, so she took another :P LOL.

The others wanted to meet The Used, they met the drummer :)
Then we Matthew came out and we were talking to him. Mel took pictures of me talking to him, which is weird, but Mel as skills, so I won't complain. LOL


He's well taller then me. Why am I so short :/
haha

I then went Tescos and bought batteries. And tried to persuade Mel and Gemma that they should pee down a back alley
LOL.
I had a mental breakdown and had a cone put on my head.

I went to McDonalds at some point as well. I now know where the McDonalds is near the Apollo. Though I realised I did before. As I went there after Maroon 5. I am such a retard.
We then queued. Watched an Smudge and The Blackout at the barrier.

Mel and myself went home. On the way home I recieved a phone call. And was talking to Gavin Butler on the phone. It was really ace. :D and made me very happy.
Then for like wednesday, thursday and friday I had sixth form. Don't think anything really special happened.
Sunday I went to Manchester, and met Gemma, we went to Jabez Clegg and sat in the bar most of the day. Stalked Flood Of Red and You Me At Six. But stopped at McDonalds to get food. LOL. Then on the way back I was talking to some guy, who was working for them I think, and let him come under my brolly. He told me to find him later, and he'd give me a backstage pass, because I'm wicked like that. I realised I couldn't stay for You Me At Six though because of trains etc. I couldn't really stay for Flood of Red, but I love Flood Of Red so I had to stay and pay more to get home.
Smudge were on first and it had been like 5 days since I'd seen them at Taste Of Chaos, it was wierd seeing them on such a small stage. Got there set list. The Honeymoon Suite next. I do rather like this band, but I do not enjoy having the singers crotch in my face thank you. But it was nice to have something to sing along and dance to. They gave me their setlist. Which made me happy. Then some guy came on stage taping lyrics to it, and I was like why the hell do Flood Of Red need their own lyrics? :S Anyway, I soon found out. When this randomer came on stage singing instead of Jordan, I was like :O. I thought it was a joke at first. Because I have seen Jordan piss about and it probably would be something he found funny. Anyway it wasn't a joke. Jordan was ill. So wasn't going to be singing. The singer wasn't very good to be honest. He ruined their songs. It really upset me. Then for the last song, 'Don't Sleep, Swim', Josh from You Me At Six sang. He couldn't really do it either. :/ He got it near the end of the song. I took the paper with the lyrics to 'Oh Yes, There Will Be Blood' as its my favorite song by them. I was talking to Calum. And told him how gutted I was. He told me he felt well bad, and put me and Gemma on the Liverpool guestlist. So I hugged him. Like OMG thank you :) I then went home. I tedious journey I must say. Got home at 11:15, was well weird. My dad was still up :S
So I think that's it :S
Other then today we made christmas decorations. And had a bit of a glitter glue fight. :)
Flood Of Red on Monday. WOOOO!
But they have cancelled their shows up to the 7th :/
I hope Jordan is OK by Liverpool.
