IT'S REVIEW TIME! Feel-Sleeping With Sirens

Sleeping With Sirens streamed their new album, Feel, last night. The album itself isn't released until the 4th of June but here's a little heads up/review of the band's new album.

The album has already raised some eyebrows and for something that was only streamed last night, it has a lot of mixed opinions. 

The main difference of this album compared to their first two (Not including If You Were A Movie...as an album just because I can) albums is that instrumentally and technically it is quite a lot lighter for the most part, however in terms of meaning the band cover some pretty deep stuff. The song which has resonated with me the most is definitely Satellites, the last song from the album. Instrumentally it is so beautiful and the lyrics are amazing I loved it so much I started crying.

The album has some great feature artists, such as Matty Mullins from Memphis May Fire and Shaylet Bourget formerly of Of Mice & Men, and in some way they definitely compliment Kellin's vocals.

I am definitely going to buy this album, it comes out June 4th world-wide so get ready to Feel (haaa haaa I suck).

If you were a movie, this would be your soundtrack

Okay so I was reading an article in my Kerrang! magazine that finally came (alleluia) and it had this really cool feature with Alex Gaskarth and he was talking about his favourite songs and the songs that played an important part in his life etc, etc ,and I thought hey, maybe I can do one of those along with a shortened version of a 30 day song challenge, so here we go!

My favourite song:
This is a no brainer-Somewhere In Neverland by All Time Low is easily my favourite song. It's really cute  and really catchy. And also the inspiration of it, Peter Pan, is one of my favourite stories so it definitely holds a place in my heart.
Album: Don't Panic! (2012)

A song that I know all the words to:
Firstly, let's just settle something. I don't know half the words to any Fall Out Boy song. There I said it. But I do know the words to A LOT of songs, I'm essentially a walking jukebox. But my favourite one would probably have to be Nine in the Afternoon by Panic! At the Disco.
Album: Pretty. Odd (2008)

My guilty pleasure:
Oh man. Okay there are too many of these. I would probably have to say If I Had You by Adam Lambert. I know all the words, I have made a dance to it and whenever I'm in a super good mood I listen to this and I feel like all my troubles go away
Album: For Your Entertainment (2009)

A song from my childhood:
From my first favourite band who played such a pivotal role in my life from childhood to now, it would hands down be All The Small Things by blink-182. This was my favourite song when I was like, five years old. I remember it coming out and seeing the video for it on Video Hits and even my mum knows how much I love this song and this band.
Album: Enema of the State (1999)

A song that I can play:
From my extremely short stint of playing guitar, I managed to teach myself Lloyd Dobbler by Pencey Prep. One of my good friends got me into this band and as soon as I heard this song I was like damn I should teach myself how to play it. And so I did. And it's also the only song I can play on guitar and sing to at the same time-I'm the epitome of talent.
Album: Heartbreak in Stereo (2001)

The song that makes me dance:
It's common knowledge how much I love 80s music, so I can't leave this down to one song because no. The first one is I Wanna Dance With Somebody  by Whitney Houston and Girls Just Wanna Have Fun by Cyndi Lauper. They are also the songs that make me the most happy as well. They are just so catchy and contagious and damn I wish I was around in the 80s to fully appreciate the awesomeness of these songs.
Albums: Whitney (1986) and She's So Unusual (1983)

The song that makes me sad/cry:
There are too many of these. I'm just gonna list them all and write the respective albums next to them: Mr. Brightside (The Killers, Hot Fuss, 2004), Hold On Till May (Pierce the Veil, Collide with the Sky, 2012), Second and Sebring (Of Mice & Men, Of Mice & Men, 2010), November Rain (Guns N Roses, Use Your Illusion I, 1992), Kissing You Goodbye (The Used, Artwork, 2009), Cancer (My Chemical Romance, The Black Parade, 2007),Fiction (Avenged Sevenfold, Nightmare, 2010),  Remembering Sunday and Therapy (All Time Low, Nothing Personal, 2009) Adam's Song (blink-182, Enema of the State, 1999)  and anything by The Smiths

My favourite love song:
Being the hopeless romantic that I am, I would say Kiss Me Again by We Are The In Crowd is one of my favourites. The inspiration for the video is based on one of my favourite movies, Say Anything which tugs my heart strings so much...maybe too much. Anyway, it's just an adorable song that makes me feel forever alone because no one loves me *sobs*.
Album: Best Intentions (2012)

The song that makes me realise "shit gets better"
Hands down Adam's Song by blink-182. It's probably the song that changed my life and has helped me out of my toughest of times. Whenever I find myself in one of my ruts, I blast this and lie in bed and whenever I hear the line "tomorrow hold's such better days" I tear up and decide to get my shit together and I feel instantly better.
Album: Enema of the State (1999)

The song that makes me wanna start a fight
There are too many of those. I would say anything from Les Miserables like Do You Hear the People Sing? and also The Depths by Of Mice & Men and Underdog by You Me At Six because they just have these messages that make you seem pretty unstoppable and wanna slap the haters in the face. Like, if you don't feel slightly empowered listening to Les Mis and you don't feel like making a barricade then you need to re-evaluate your life choices. ALSO, Antivist by Bring Me The Horizon just makes me wanna bash everyone I hate.
Albums: Les Miserables soundtrack (find whichever there's too many),  The Flood (2011), Hold Me Down (2010) and Sempiternal (2013)


and that's it. You should also take the time to listen to some of these tunes :D

If you're wondering who this kind soul is, this was my beautiful golden retriever Bonnie. Six months ago today, she was taken away from us.

People may think I'm slightly ridiculous for getting very worked up over a dog. But I don't think anyone truly understands how much I miss her.

When I was ten and I was getting so horribly bullied at primary school, I came home in the most sour mood and it was as if Bonnie knew something was wrong, so she used to cuddle up to me and she made me feel safe. I feel so lost without her, I feel a bit less motivated to go outside and I haven't been to the park I used to take her running since she passed away.

I call her my guardian angel, because I miss her so much and she is always looking after me like she used to when I was a kid.

I love you and miss you pup, I hope you're being good in doggie heaven.

IT'S REVIEW TIME: Love Lust Faith + Dreams - 30 Seconds to Mars

 

30 Seconds to Mars have been one of my favourite bands since I was thirteen. After enduring two kind of severe injuries in such a short period of time, I had to stop a lot of things I loved doing at the time to make sure I recovered-including my sport and my music. So while I was pretty much doing nothing, I went around discovering new music and BAM! Like that I discovered 30 Seconds to Mars. I was watching Video Hits (oh nostalgia) and the video clip for A Beautiful Lie came on and I was quite literally blown away and the rest is history I guess.

This is the band's 4th album, coming out just over three years after their epic This Is War- the album that shot the band into superstardom, as well as allowing them to gain a Guinness World Record for having over 300 shows all over the world for the one album (one of which I had the privilege of seeing in Melbourne 2010). Compared to their earlier two albums, 30 Seconds to Mars and A Beautiful Lie it definitely has the epic status, however it is not really up there with This Is War.

They definitely have songs though that are related to some of their earlier stuff-in my honest opinion Conquistador has elements of Night of the Hunter and Up In the Air-the song from the album that was released from up in space back in March.

 Towards the end I found the songs were getting a tiny little bit repetitive, but hey, if we look at it this way at least it doesn't have a 14 minute song at the end of it, where over a third of that 14 minutes is silence a la A Beautiful Lie.

In anticipation of another world tour, and recently announcing an Australian Tour visiting my home city (and I tell you I will be there front and centre and with bells on!) I think they have done an amazing job with making such an amazing albums especially with the themes of love, lust, faith and dreams. If you don't feel the slightest bit empowered or ready to start a fight or something, then you need to re-evaluate your life.

I'm still letting this sink in kind of...

This was me at my absolute heaviest back in December 2012- at the conclusion of the busiest, stressful year of my life:

Gross right? Anyway looking at photos from last year and the years before that make me feel so weird. I was ridiculously pudgy, I looked gross and in some weird ironic way, I thought I was happy with myself. But there was always that underlying disappointment with my appearance and my weight and size. It's been an ongoing thing since I was a kid, and not to mention I was bullied for my looks on several occasions.

Considering I did little to no exercise last year, spending time in my room, eating because I was stressed or bored, I was on the verge of being obese for my height. I had a sort of epiphany in late December, at the turn of the new year that something needed to be done. As soon as January the 1st came about, I went for my first run in a long time, and I went running almost every single day for a month. Not to mention, I picked up taekwondo again and I do it at least twice a week for two hours a session. After my birthday, I went vegetarian (okay I can't eat fish because it makes me really sick, and i'm honestly not a fan of red meat and pork and the like)and while it was a very very short stint, it sort of made me eat so much more healthier. I cut out almost all the crap in my diet, watched when I ate and what I ate. I didn't even notice myself doing it, or the effects it had on me until I tried on this dress and took this photo: 

I look completely ridiculous I know, but I took this photo at the end of April/start of May and yes it's me wearing a dress, but this isn't any dress-this is my year 11 formal dress, which I've only worn twice in my life and even still, the two occasions I wore it I was quite pudgy, even considering I was wearing some sort of slim-wear slip underneath it. I slipped it on-minus the slim-wear, and it fit me like a glove. It wasn't tight in the slightest. I tried on this dress, along with many others and I cried.

Since that day in December when the first photo was taken, I have lost 8 kilos. EIGHT! I feel so much better about myself, how I look, what I wear and how I wear it, I don't feel so self conscious about the littlest of things, like my friends trying to pick me up or volunteer to give me a piggy back. But all these little things are making me so much happier! 

My aim is to lose at least another 7 kilos and to start running during the winter, as well as definitely going to taekwondo twice a week. 

It's just a reminder that anything, no matter how hard it is, is actually possible. It was the biggest reality check and as long as it continues to make me happy, I'll continue to do it! 

Why I love concerts (part 2 of 2)

While I can say all these things about the bands I have actually seen, what about those I haven't? Of course I have a band list of bands I wish I can see and bands/artists I wish I could've seen and potentially will with the help of a time machine.
But yes, let's begin:

Avenged Sevenfold
Preferably, I would wanna go back in time to see A7X play with The Rev but I would be happy to see the rest of the band on their own to see how far they have come since The Rev's passing. They never stop impressing me, the closest thing I've seen to seeing them live is their Live in the LBC DVD which made me really post-concert depressed once, which was really weird. So I need to see them.

Queen

In terms of performance, Queen have this amazing flair that no other band has ever displayed. And can we take a moment to appreciate Freddie's existence? Freddie is one of the greatest vocalists to ever exist in rock and a flair for performance that no one could ever posses (even me in my wildest dreams)

Nirvana

It must be compulsory for any teenager who appreciates rock music to go through a grunge phase. I love everything about Nirvana from their sound to their music and the legacy that they have left and their influence on so many musicians. 

The Smiths

Seeing The Smiths would just be awesome. I mean, while I do spend a copious amounts of time crying along to some of their songs, I spend equally ifnot more time appreciating them. The best thing, in an ironic way about them is that they're really nice to listen to with someone who you're close to, because you feel as if you don't have any of the sadness that they write about.

Guns N Roses

Aaaaah Guns n Roses! I would prefer seeing them with Slash and Axl singing together and wailing the words and having those intense guitar solos and all that jazz. 

You Me At Six

My best friend and I talk about wanting to see YMAS for years now. It's been our thing you can always hear us singing Underdog and Loverboy pretty much everywhere we go. So to hear them live and scream the lyrics with my best friend will be a dream come true!

Fall Out Boy
I missed them in March because I was on the verge of poverty and I slept through the ticket sales at the same time. Yay! So I really need to see them when they potentially come back here soon for a proper tour for Save Rock and Roll because I need to tell Pete to become emo again.

The Used
The Used are probably one of the other bands I connect to on such an emotional level. They're one of those bands that I can't just listen to one song by and leave it, but I will listen to all their albums through and through 99% of the time crying in my bed. Yeah. But seeing them live, they just have this awesome presence and Bert's vocals are probably one of my most favourite-est things in the world.

Tonight Alive and We Are The In Crowd
I just put these together because they have such similar elements. But they would be cool to see together...Anyway, these two female fronted bands deserve so much more recognition. And I've missed seeing them too many times and they actually inspire me to become a punk rock superhero (hence the name) to make sure that  Hayley Williams doesn't gets all this attention but many many many other female fronted bands or bands with female members get the attention they deserve and heaps more attention than Hayley Williams ooooh I made an opinion fight me.

Bring Me The Horizon
I'm just saying this because I beat myself up everyday that I've missed them so many times. God dammit.

David Bowie
This is me and Ellie's thing. Having a deep appreciation for David Bowie's work has made us somewhat better friends and we will spend all day singing his songs and dancing around. Please come to Australia, David Bowie.

Green Day
Green Day have been one of my favourite bands since I was at least 8 or 9 and I've missed them so many times. And also undeniably I have had a crush on Billie Joe Armstrong since I was that age sooo yep.

(I'm really tired I'm sorry these are getting so much more bleh as time goes on)
Mindless Self Indulgence
I got into Mindless Self Indulgence when I was 14, narrowly missing their concert which I probably couldn't even go to anyway. But they finally came back for Soundwave, and I waited for ages in the hot sun to see my idol Lyn-Z perform before my very eyes but lo and behold they lost their instruments or something and didn't end up playing. I actually started crying at Soundwave because of that. So hopefully, hopefully they will come back soon please don't break up or anything or wait until I have enough money to see you guys in concert somewhere else *prays*

Why I love concerts (part 1 of 2)

There's something about going to a concert that makes me pine to see all the bands I've seen again and again.

Last night, I went to see Funeral For a Friend with a few of my mates and it was absolutely spectacular. It was my...14th concert all up and my 4th this year. So, I'm a bit too exhausted to write a concert review about it, but I will gladly write up a list about why I want to see all these bands again (in no particular order...and also I've been to festivals and I'm not going to write about every single band/act I saw at those otherwise that's another 23 things to write so no):

My Chemical Romance:

(1st December 2007, 29th January and  31st January 2012)

The band that I was synonymous for all my high school years, I felt so privileged to see them three times as well as having the opportunity to meet them. While I looked back on their shows at the time, it was just the pride of having seen my favourite band, feeling so inspired by the words, especially at their 2012 shows after I was going through a pretty crappy time. Looking back on it post-break up, it's just nostalgic and it saddens me that they're done and that I'll never see them again. 

30 Seconds to Mars:

(28th July 2010)

Probably the best concert I've ever been to in my life. The songs that they have written are anthems that empower one and all and make as if you can conquer any hurdle in life. The album they were touring for was This Is War which was released her in the summer of 2009, and with songs like Kings And Queens and Closer To The Edge, tied in with amazing lights and the ambiance at Festival Hall, holy guacamole it was a truly fantastic experience.

Panic! at The Disco

(30th September 2011)

Oh my goodness! This was part of a small festival that was held in Australia in conjunction with Soundwave, and I saw All Time Low as well (but that's irrelevant now keep reading later). Panic! were one of the other bands I've loved since I was around eleven years old, so finally seeing them after missing them in 2008 was epic. And you never underestimate how hot some musicians are yes Brendon Urie we all appreciated that strip to "Lovin, Touchin, Feelin" very much.

All Time Low

(30th September 2011 and 1st March 2013)

The only two times I've seen All Time Low were at festivals so I'm pining for the day to see them at a headlining show in Australia. For a band whose music is very pop-y, both those mosh pits at the shows I've seen them at have been the most painful and tight-knit mosh pits I've ever been in. I tell my friends that I was so squashed in the pit at Soundwave that I could probably lift up my legs and still be upright, up in the air but from the sheer tight-ness of it all I would be supported. All Time Low are probably the band that is replacing My Chem as my favourite active band, and their songs are something as well they really hold a place in my heart.

Of Mice and Men 

(26th March 2013)

One word: inspiring. Since I started listening to Of Mice and Men in the middle of last year, all they have done is inspire me. I can actually feel tears welling in my eyes as I write this. I got into them when I was going through a bit of a rough patch, especially in as busy of a year as my final year of high school. Listening to Second and Sebring for the first time back last year I could feel every part of me just cave in and cry it did that much for me. They make me feel hopeful, they make me feel inspired and they help me deal with things that I thought I could never deal with. At their gig, I went with one of the only people I know who appreciated them as much as I did-my amazing best friend. So having the band which helped me put things back on track, as well as the person who helped me do so as well was amazing. 

blink-182
(27th February 2013 and 1st March 2013)
Their concert on the 27th of February was the concert that probably left me the most post-concert depressed ever. blink-182 have been one of my favourite bands since I was six years old so seeing them twice in a week was phenomenal. I was on the barrier for their headlining show, right in front of Mark Hoppus (who has been my idol virtually my whole life). It was like watching my childhood play right in front of my eyes, bringing back some of my favourite (and not so fantastic) memories growing up. I sang every single song word for word, almost on the verge of tears and hysterics.

Pat Benatar and the Bangles
(27th October 2010)
I felt like I was witnessing history seeing these amazing artists play. To me they are both inspirations to any female musicians out there to do their thing. The Bangles had really catchy contagious songs that make you really happy, whereas Pat Benatar had those gutsy anthems  that make you wanna start a riot.

Pierce the Veil
(1st March 2013)
Front and centre, yet again. Every time I listen to a Pierce the Veil CD, I think I get more and more emotionally attached to their stuff, so seeing them live was just a big emotional smack in the face. Especially Bulletproof Love and  A Match into Water they were the highlights for me. And afterwards, who can forget Tony Perry giving me one of their set lists?

Sleeping With Sirens
(1st March 2013)
People were a bit put off by Kellin's behaviour and what he said at the show. But I didn't really see anything wrong with it...I really enjoyed their show, Sleeping With Sirens are kinda the same as Pierce The Veil to me in terms of how every time I listen to their albums I get all these different emotions and appreciate it so much more than I did the time before I listened to it. I will so definitely see Sleeping With Sirens again.

The Getaway Plan
(don't expect me to remember dates I've seen them waaay too many times)
I like having one band I can always fall back on or I can go see whenever I feel like. The Getaway Plan are a band from a suburb not too far away from where I live, so seeing them make it so big is the biggest proud mama moment for me. I've seen them too many times and I know every single word to every single song. I'm pretty sure I've seen them once and maybe twice as well every year since 2007 and I'm just waiting to see them again this year.

Funeral For a Friend
(30th September 2010 and 14th May 2013)
I was so blown away last night at how amazing of a show FFAF put on for us Melburnians. I was so battered and bruise and I got the biggest blow to the rib I'm positive it's broken. But the things that they said about their songs and their purpose in performing and recording was really awe-inspiring.

So it is Mother's Day today and I want to write a little spiel about why my mum is awesome.

Firstly here is a picture of me and my mum when I graduated back in November:

She's pretty snazzy, I must say.

Anyway, here's my list about why mum is awesome:

1) my mum is an amazing cook. She can make the most amazing dishes and bake the most fantastic cakes. Since I was nine, mum has taught me how to make most of her signature dishes like pavlovas (I just put one in the oven) and her pastas. Her food is the highlight of our parties and festivities, and her dishes have a place in many people's hearts.

2) while some parents and adults put down ridiculous hobbies and interests, my mum actually fosters it. She knows how much I love music and going to concerts, as well as anything involving Johnny Depp. If you don't believe me, she sat with me while I cried when I figured out MCR broke up, and she bought me Fall Out Boy's new album AND she asked me if I was okay when she heard that Travis Barker wasn't going to be playing the Australian shows. 

And we also have regular sing a longs to anything Queen.

3) she has fostered my interests in travel and culture. She encouraged me to apply to stay in Montreal for six weeks and she and my dad made sure I was prepared right until I entered the gates to my plane. Being fluent in French, she has immersed me in French culture and has helped me prepare for all my French oral assessments and my homework-even still in first year university. Furthermore, she is all for me applying to study in France for a year. Awesome right?

4) she's a loving sister, daughter, wife, aunty, god-mother and friend to all. My mum does not have a bad bone in her body and if I could be half the woman she is, I will be eternally grateful.

So today make sure your mum gets all the love because she totally deserves it. 

:) x 

I told you my preferred pronoun is Your Majesty, and this is why:

While we all come across our little struggles every day in our lives, some of those little struggles are relatively bigger than others. It is a subjective statement I know, because what I could call a massive little problem may be slightly different to a massive little problem my best friend or one of my siblings would have.

Why I am writing this is because I have a confession to make: I am the Queen of First World Problems.
So, that answers why my preferred pronoun is Your Majesty (also I am the Duchess of Emo and Countess of Sass OH GOD THAT SOUNDS SO HORRIBLE I FEEL LIKE I'M TWELVE AGAIN).
Anyway, this is my first world problem:

My room is covered floor to (almost) ceiling in posters that I have gathered in my four years of reading Kerrang! Magazine and photos that I have scavenged for from the depths of Facebook. The massive poster feature wall behind my bed only became that over the past few months. I added the top row of posters in March after I got a Soundwave edition of Blunt Magazine which had all these wondrous posters of all the bands I saw during Soundwave week. But after that, I did some getting rid of posters, particularly MANY of my My Chemical Romance (R.I.P 2001-2013) posters. So I rearranged my wall and placed some already very temperamental posters to that row. I say temperamental because they were always prone to falling down wherever I placed them.

Most of my first world problems revolve around my posters falling down when I don't want them to because they are in a bloody ridiculous and obscure places that require me standing on a ladder to place, and crying over bands breaking up or not coming to Melbourne for reasons (yes Mindless Self Indulgence I am still extremely sad that I couldn't see you at Melbourne Soundwave). But Posters anyway I digress. It was about 4am this morning when I heard a slight little noise above my head. Ignoring it, I rolled over and went back to sleep. Seconds later, one of my posters of The Used, a poster of Billie Joe Armstrong and of The Rev fell from the heights of my room and onto my face. Crapping myself silly, I looked at what happened and had a bit of a cry. Why? BECAUSE IT TOOK ME HOURS...wait MINUTES to ensure that those posters wouldn't do that.

Due to sheer laziness and an extremely messy bedroom, I am unable to put these posters back up on my wall. There will be an empty gap on my wall just like there will be in my heart until I have the oomf to put the posters back up again.

Anyway, wow I can't believe I wrote virtually an essay on why my poster mural sucks and why I have too many first world problems and I just realised I need to start getting ready to go out. Later skaterz  :) x

I'm unsuccessfully trying to edit my posts and no,  I did not post them consecutively over a couple of minutes because l can totally write that much in two minutes.

I'm just a bit of a derp on this so far woops.

To make up for my failure have a picture of my fat bunny Fiver:

Things I figure out at 11:20pm on a Friday Night

It's 11:20pm on a Friday night (duh...wait now it's 11:21) and I have spent the past three hours writing 1090 words of a 2000 word media and communications major essay.
That is due on Monday.
That I should've started maybe...two weeks ago.
And I started it tonight.

On top of this, I have had a 2000 word film studies research essay to write on how film genre is located in texts, industry and audiences but I won't bore you with that, and a 500 word concert review for my pop culture music class..that too I should've started a few weeks ago, but due to being a forgetful human being I forgot to go to a gig earlier.

So essentially I have learnt two things tonight, or over the course of the past week and a half.

1) Procrastination is the devil. While I don't necessarily blame it on procrastination...well partially yes, I have a tendency to be very faithful to people and I like rocking up to their shindigs and gatherings. They have all of a sudden accumulated and I feel bad leaving the host after making a promise to them, and my friends attending the same do's, that I'll be there. Additionally, there have been family gatherings galore all of a sudden (gotta love being Maltese) and one of these gatherings was an afternoon tea after my Aunty came along and bought us some ravioli. I'm totally not complaining there though. But while I wasn't chilling with my cool relatives and let's face it, they are pretty cool, or spending my whole 14 hours at uni, what in God's name have I been doing? Tumblring, texting, discovering how tired I am, and going through my wardrobe and trying on all my old dresses to see if they still fit me, made a new blog (tadaaaa)...yeah I do have better things to do than fork out 4500 words for three subjects. But damn I am totally suffering right now

2) Never, ever ever ever ever ever ever ever EVER belittle an Arts student. While we may not necessarily be at university all the time like people who do the more "smarter" courses and do much more practical work than we do, when we're at home it's not all fun and games (says the girl that spent a morning crying in her bed listening to The Smiths for three hours. Okay that wasn't fun but yes you see my point right?). We have a MASSIVE pile of books to read, essays to write, information to research, etc etc. We do have work to do and we may not show it, but we go through as much if not more stress than any of the people who do those smarter courses. If any of you, and this is a threat, decide to belittle my arts course, I will personally come find you and make a barricade out of my books and readers and essays outside your house and sing the entire Les Miserables soundtrack all through the night as a sign of protest. (because I have all the free time to do so once my essays are done). Or just don't mess with me in general I am a massive pot of sass.

So yes, don't procrastinate. I have an essay to finish over the weekend.
Stay tuned for more derpy adventures of yours truly. :) x

Please allow me to introduce myself...

"I'm a (wo)man of wealth and taste (ooh ooh)"

Taking from the idea from my friend, I decided to make a proper blog for expressing my thoughts and rambles and keep it separate from my tumblr.

ANYWAY I digress...

I'm Eleanor, I'm an 18 year old Arts student from Melbourne. My preferred pronoun is Your Majesty. I'm a pop punk band enthusiast to some extent...I don't know... I like trying to make myself useful in society.

Have a picture of me (I'm on the left) and my best friend Ellie. 

I spend a copious amount of time listening to music and if money prevails, I go to gigs every now and again . I'll somehow put a list of all the bands I've seen ever on here soon before I forget. 

I have no idea what I'll put on this besides band ramblings. I will most likely post gig reviews (as of next week (13/5/2013)), CD reviews, photos and just stories of a loser trying to find her place in the world.

More posts to come!
