.. Since my last journal update..

But, anyhow

Since I have had an extremely awesome past week, i thought i'd tell y'all about it ^_^

Firstly, Thursday the 13th. Awesome day for several million people all across the world. If you were a World of Warcraft fan, you would know that already, but for those infidels and blaspermers out there, it was the release date of the second WoW Expansion: Wrath of the Lich King. I was incredibly excited all Thursday waiting to finish school so I could go into town and buy it. Shame for me though that I was given an after school detention that day, but even that couldn't break my spirits

Friday, I slept round Lauren's house with Elliot. That was great fun. We did loads of stuff, like playing Spore. Creating Penis animals and making them sprout legs and stuff. We also played a bit of Brawl and Stepmania too which was awesome, and we also saw Ben and Ryan

Then, Saturday came.

I had to get up early in the morning to get ready for my weekly trip into Marquee Models, in the Harvey Center, Harlow. So i woke up at like 8 and waited for Lauren to wake up and stuff, then when she did, after a while we went and played Spore again ^_^. After a while, I went to go finish getting ready, and when I did Lauren decided to make me walk to town on my own because she was playing with Creamy the Sperm . Luckily though, I managed to find my way to town eventually and hung out in Marquee for a while, till we had to leave at 12, and then I had to get the bus at 12:30.

Just as I got home, Chad's parents pulled up in their car ready to drive us to the station to go to the gig. When we got there, we met up with loads of other people we knew who were also coming to the gig with us, including: Ed Freshwater, Andy Fitzpatrick, Darren Chapman, Alex Perry, Trav Almond and the rest of them. So, we all went and bought our train tickets and got on the train to London. We got off at Tottenham Hale to get on a train to Alexandra Palace, but it turned out to not be running. So, we had to wait for another train to come from Tottenham Hale to Liverpool Street, which is where we got on to a train to King's Cross, to get the overground to Alexandra Palace, which is where the gig was.

Finally, we arrived at the palace, 45 minutes before the doors opened, meaning we wasn't too far towards the back of the line, so when the doors did open we got in there quite quickly. When we got inside, it was massive. Probably big enough to hold at least 20,000 people. By the time everyone was in, it was almost full. We watched like 5 bands before Bullet came on, and in between each band we started chants of 'BULLET! BULLET! BULLET!' The other bands that played were called 'Lawnmower Death' who were kinda suckish, but it was funny, because standing next to us was some 5 foot tall 40 year old nerd dude headbanging like crazy, and he didnt even have long hair. Then, Black Tide came on, so we all squeezed a little bit further to the front, and I went crowdsurfing . However, I lost my phone in the process. (Not like it was a good phone anyways.) They were an awesome band, and quite famous as I see them on Kerrang all the time, and hoping to see them again in January, if I can get tickets to the Bring Me The Horizon gig with BMTH, Black Tide, and Mindless Self Indulgence. (Yes Mike, MSI) After Black Tide, a band called Bleeding Through came on. They were insane. They completely rocked and we had a circle pit the size of Alexandra Palace. Nuff Said. After that, Lacuna Coil came on, who we wasn't really that bothered about, except we all just wanted to see Christina Scabbia on stage So after like 1 song, we went to get drinks, and some of the guys had a ciggarette break and stuff.

Then.. It was Bullet's turn..

Thousands of us waited in anticipation while the tech crew brought out 2 more sets of speakers, each one with 16 speakers in a 4 by 4 square, and also set up all the other stuff that needed setting up. Then. Moose walked on and sat down at the drums, while the whole crowd was cheering, followed by Matt Tuck, Padge, and Jay. They opened with Scream, Aim, Fire; and as Matt took the first strum of his Guitar the whole stage seemed to explode and massive firebals came out the end of these fire-tower things and I was like Wooaaaahh!! Click >> [link] . They played loads of their best songs, including: Hearts Burst Into Fire, Tears Don't Fall, All These Things I Hate, Say Goodnight, Eye Of The Storm and loads more and I was at the barrier! 10 foot from Matt Tuck!!! <3. When they went off stage though, everyone started chanting again, so they came back out and did Waking The Demon. Halfway through they stopped and just kept repeating the awesome riff over and over again while Matt Tuck was talking, his speech ending in GO!! and Thousands of people running full speed at each other in a wall of death.

After it was all finished, we met up outside and stuff and got our last bits of merch and then got the train home, but this time it wasn't quite as complicated Thank God/(Matt Tuck), because I no longer had the energy. xD

I ended up getting home at like 1 am, where my bed was oh so welcoming and couldn't wait to jump in it and sleep till like 1 in the afternoon before finally getting up

Much Love Matt Tuck and all the rest of BFMV <3 Can't wait to see you all again at the next gig
