Walk On Wat- Grass… Otherwise You Will Be In The Water Which You Could Drown In.

Afternoon m’dear readers (like… 3/4 of you?)

How are we all?

I am good, a little sleepy as always but that is what teenage life is about is it not? Always being sleepy and stuff.. yeah. I dunno I could ramble on about sleeping all day if I wanted to but that would seem mildly pointless as that is not what the topic of this post is about. As you’ve probably guessed from the title this is gonna be something about Gardening (OH GAWD.) It isn’t as bad as you think. I won’t go on about it for the whole time which is why I figured I would continue with some updatage on what is happening in my life which you missed a whole year of… but mainly what has happened in the last week…or month… i forget… because I don’t know about you… but I cant remember what I was doing a year ago.

So yeah, this will cover Gardening, Music, Modelling, Money and Sonisphere… (hopefully with pictures)

Just over a year ago I was listening to what could only be described as emo music. Quite a lot of the time. And I was in one of those stages where I start almost all my posts with song lyrics that held little meaning to what the post was about. In the cases that they were linked it would be because I had listened to a song… then copied the lyrics then wrote a post talking about the lyrics. For Example, “Promises mean everything when you’re little and the world is so big” or some such words. Having reread that it makes no sense what so ever. I think I was in a bad mood or something. Maybe I’d been hit in the head and lost a few brain cells. I dunno. Back to the point. One of the bands I used to listen to at that time was Mayday Parade.

My Emo Album of 2007/8

This has long since changed. Don’t get me wrong. I still like a bit of Mayday but I am not basing my very existance on them. : |.   So you know the state of which I listened to them, I (and  my friends) can remember a day a long time ago when I didn’t talk to anyone and just listened to my mp3 player the whole day. (yeah I was pretty emo and grumpy)(Oh and if you are wondering how I managed a whole day at school without a teacher noticing my head phones… I had long hair at that point) Guess what I listened too for the whole day. Mayday Parade – A Lesson in Romantics, on loop. For the whole day. I must have listened to that album 6/7 times that day… BADTIMES!!

My All-in-one Stereo and Paul Simons Record.

So now, I am just that maybe a little bit more mature and don’t act like a grumpy kid anymore (well.. not always..) and now I have a much wider range of music however… I have gone a litttttle bit haywire these last few weeks. Not really in my taste of music… but more in my method of listening. I can tell you are like “wut 0_o” right now cause it  doesn’t make much sense, but now rather than craving newer technology like everyone else is at the moment, I have taken 3 steps back… (vinyl<-tape<-cd) and now I have got me a vinyl player. and a couple of vinyl records, that will be greatly exapanded on saturday where I am picking up at least 9 new albums.

I don’t know why I am so fond of vinyls really, but it is like… old fashioned and the sound you get is different.  Like I can listen to a vinyl then listen to a CD and find that the CD sounds… well.. right. I know it sounds silly but I don’t want it to sound right I want to to have that crackle and the slightly warped sound. It makes it more… nice. aha. Nice is such a good word. Year 7 food tech… We weren’t allowed to describe anything with “nice” but now I can.. mwahahahahaaaa.

Soon to be mine... on vinyl!

Right now I have Paul Simons(Graceland) and Bruce Springsteen(The River). I have been listening to Paul Simon mostly as it has You Can Call Me Al on Side 2 which is a great song. But soon, I shall have many more. AND exciting news, I’ve just bought Enter Shikari(Take To The Skies) on Vinyl. Which is immense. cause well… It is. : O

Well that is music done and dusted. What is next on the agendddaaaa!

Ahee! Modelling, that links on well from music. As you will know if you had read my previous posts I made a brief reference to me having gone to Glastonbury Festival. And while this seems to be on the topic of music still it links to Modelling. While I was standing minding my own business watching Lily Allen, a man next to me leans over and asks if I had been scouted before. As this was a very peculiar thing to ask me I was understandably confused. Turns out, he was an agent for mandpmodels who are a modelling agency. So while I was watching Lily Allen, with my hair unwashed in 2/3 days I got scouted for a modelling agency. How surreal is that. I went in a couple of weeks back for them to take some polaroids and see if they actually wanted me and they did so woop? I haven’t done anything yet though, I got a call about maybe doing one but I didn’t get picked for it. So badtimes, but I’ma still waiting for stuff. If you wanna check them out it’s http://www.mandpmodels.com

Two down, however many more to go.

Money right now, is a hench issue for me. I haven’t had a chance to do babysitting in a while so that has meant no income apart from pocket money(how childish am i? ) which I only get once a month, it really doesn’t last me long. So I am struggling to get money to pay for me to do all sorts of things like go into london to see my yummy girlfriend and uh… yeah. So basically if I don’t have money I cant see my girlfriend, and that makes Matty sad. : ( BUT this leads nicely onto Gardening. I have found a way around my money issue by doing gardening for my parents which they are paying me 4 quid an hours for. Which is shit all but I can cope with that, an hour goes pretty quickly when you are actually doing it. So I have had a number of tasks for me to do, but mainly I have to tidy my front garden. Which means weeding. Now my front garden is a mess. There are more weeds than actual plants.

Messy Front Garden.

All the green, apart from a couple of bushes are weeds. My job is to remove those weeds because we are going to redesign our front garden to make it pretty. I know in that picture it looks suprisingly nice… but it really is scanky. I woke up today thinking, I know, I will get 3/4 hours of gardening it to get me some money. So I got into my messy clothes and started doing some gardening. 1 hour in and it pisses it down so I stop with the intention of continuing once the rain stopped… unfortunately, i started writing this, which is now longer than 1200 words. (pretty beasty) and it hasnt been raining for quite a while now. But I am too easily distracted. Unfortunately the roof in the bottom left corner blocks out the work I’ve done. You can just see where I’ve started up between the two rocks though. After I have made that pretty I will probbers be tidying the bushes on the otherside of the drive… and there is a tree there that’ll need tidying as well.(it likes to lean into the pavement) So that is all my crazy gardening.

Unfortunately I have left myself with sonisphere which I cannot link into gardening really so I shall have to talk about that in another post another day. Or later today. I don’t know, depends how bored I get but I don’t want to be writing a post that is over 1500 words so I shall cut it off here before it gets there cause that is just LONG.

Have a nice day guise and gals.
