I should probably update this, it has been fucking ages.
Right, so since we last spoke, we've done our first out of town gig in Southampton (which went well, we were considerably heavier than the rest of the bill though, but seemed to go over okay) and the three-day-festival that our band organised happened last weekend and it was incredible. I did a solo set that was apparently very good, although I remember nothing of it, having had to drink half a bottle of wine before being convinced to go onstage. I passed out two thirds of the way through the first day, but managed to regain consciousness in time for the headline band, the Mezzotints, who were fucking incredible. Why aren't they massive already? Saw about twenty-nine other fantastic bands, ended up onstage playing guitar completely unrehearsed with a couple of them, which was scary and random. But I mostly spent three days getting completely battered and meeting lots of new people and making new friends. The atmosphere in the band has been a lot sweeter since all that, we all grew closer amidst the stress and strain and it worked in our favour. I love those guys.
Things with Lee are going really well. He's actually living with me at my parents house, and has been for the last three weeks. Sadly he's moving into his new appartment in another week or so but I was pleasantly suprised that I can actually do the whole cohabiting thing. How grown up! He's promised me we'll get a kitten for the new appartment but I'm not too sure about whether it'd be all that happy living there. Still, the thought counts.
Meanwhile I've been busying myself with my new hobby, tropical fishkeeping. I've had the tank about three weeks and am trying to get the whole water cycle thing happening but it's not really been very successful so far. I'm looking forward to actually getting some fucking fish in there.
We've managed to get together enough cash to start recording an album, so that's going to be happening in the next couple of weeks, which is terrifying, frankly. And we've got a gig booked at Ruby's, the cabaret place, for September, so it should be a good excuse to glam up and wear something silly onstage. Always fun.
Eh. Nothing else fun has happened. Much.
