The roller disco party, and other nice things

My parents ended up letting me have the after party at my house, so it was all good!
Last weekend was really great :)

Here are some photographs from the party;

There are more on my MySpace!

It was such an awesome night, even though me and the people that stayed over didn't actually go to sleep, haha.
Stu came round for a while on Sunday, and now alot of people's pictures on my "stuff wall" have moustaches, beards, top hats, monacles and pipes! :)
Then I went to bed at seven oclock in the evening, which is really too early, but I was absolutely shattered!

This week at college has been pretty good aswell, Psychology and Philosophy are particularly interesting at the moment :)

And another brilliant thing! John Frusciante is releasing a new album on the 20th of January, which means that he may tour, and so Jonny and I could finally see him live :O

Ohh and!

My dad's cousins in California have invited me over to stay with them for a while whenever I like!!
I really can not believe it :)

Mine and Charlie's day out :)

I went to Liverpool with Charlie today.
On the way there, we decided to get off the train at Sandhills station and pay a visit to Travis Perkins! We have been meaning to for nearly four years now but have never gotten around to it. We obviously didn't want to buy building supplies, we just think that it is such a cool name for a company to have :D
Unfortunately, it was closed, but we stood outside it and took photographs. Our life goal has been accomplished :)

After that, we wandered around in Liverpool One for a while, wishing that we could afford the lovely clothes in the Pop Boutique, Urban Outfitters etc
In Urban Outfitters, we found a very amusing card :)

Then we wandered around a bit more, then went to The Egg Cafe for a coffee.
I love that cafe, it's so nice! It's vegetarian, and plays great music, and is on the top floor of a fantastic looking building, so you can sit there and see all the rooftops of the city center! And it's also an art gallery!
Today they had a giant piece of paper stuck up on one of the walls for people to draw on, but the drawings had to be in a continuous line, I think it's such a good idea! This was our contribution to it;

Oh and I bought some lovely Winklepicker style shoes for £4 from Primark :D
A very good day indeed!

I haven't written anything here since August

How terrible of me :(
Anyway.

I have now been at Runshaw College for nearly two months, and it's really good!
I've made some lovely friends, and the subjects are very interesting! (Psychology, Religious Studies, Philosophy and Sociology)
Plus there is a park just across the road which I'm looking forward to spending my three hour breaks in in the summer, maybe sitting under a tree and reading :)

I went to the most fantasic gig on the 18th of October. It was a Doors tribute band called The Doors Alive, and they were honestly just like watching the real thing! (Not that I ever got to see the real thing ¬_¬) I went with Rob and Jonny, and we went early so as to get right to the front. Even though the band were not due on until nine oclock, I insisted that we stood infront of the microphone from about half past seven onwards, and it was so worth it! I had the lead singer ("Jim Morrison") stood near me practically the whole time, and to make it even better, part way through the gig, he stopped, went right up to me and said hello! Obviously I was quite taken aback so was just like "..Wow, hi!" He then started dancing around the stage, singing "What's your name, and where do you come from??" So I told him, and he shouted out "This is Sarah and she's from Southport!!" I was the only person that he did that to, so was extremely made up! :D :D
We unfortunately had to leave early though, as the last train back to Southport was at about twenty five to eleven..
I added the band on MySpace the next day though, and the singer told me that they are booking another gig at the same place sometime in the Spring!
Hopefully by then I will be able to drive, and if not, then Rob said that we can all just hang out in Manchester until the first train of the day at about six in the morning. Hah.

It is now half term, so I'm going to devote a few days to sorting my room out and finishing that painting on my wall!

Oh, and one day a couple of weeks ago, Erin and I were talking about how everybody used to have roller disco parties at the YMCA when we were little, and we wondered if you could still have them. So we went to find out, and you can still have them, so we have booked one for the 8th of November! I really cannot wait! :)
We are making it compulsary to wear 70s disco style clothing, and the music is going to be pretty groovy too.
The session can only last for an hour though, so we are hoping to have another party straight afterwards (Still in disco wear of course!) I am trying to convince my parents to let me have it at our house :)


I really will try and remember to write here more often!!

The Matthew Street Festival!

Our student arrived yesterday, he is called Gonzalo. Today, we went to Liverpool along with Jonny and Elliot to go to the Matthew Street Festiaval :)
We got off the train at Moorfields Station to see the interesting building opposite it, and heard "You really got me" by The Kinks coming from somewhere nearby, and we soon discovered one of the stages! The band that was on was called The Repeatles, and they played alot of songs from the 60s - great :)
After that, we had to stay for a tribute to The Smiths, as Jonny liked them.
Then we wandered round the centre of Liverpool, to HMV and Waterstones. (Where we spent an hour at least in the humor section!) Then we saw a band called Moses in one of the music shops, and then we saw a tribute to The Rolling Stones, called Rocks Off. They were boss! After them, was another band that played 60s songs, they were called The Overtures, and they were awesome aswell! :)
So a very good day indeed, although I am quite tired, and still can't hear properly!

I'm tidying my room,

Listening to LA Woman full volume on my record player :)

Yesterday, I went to Manchester with Kayleigh. We saw a stereotypical fat emo kid, and thought it was hilarious :)
I also bought a cardigan and a new hat. Oh, and Kayleigh bought a box of Lucky Charms from Selfridges. I quite like how American the food section there is. However, they did not have any Grey Poupon!

The student from Chile is arriving on Sunday, and we are apparently hosting a little party type thing for all these new students in the area!



I have decided that when/if I get enough money -aswell as going to California- I would like to spend some time in Paris, and sit outside cafes all day, reading poetry and drinking coffee. Marvellous :)
