Started a Fire

I've moved to Tumblr

2011-03-01T18:17:00.000Z

The time has come. I made up my mind and did it. I'm now on Tumblr. Not all of my posts from here have exported across properly which is a shame and quite annoying and I've got no idea what I'm doing on there but I'm willing to give it a shot.

So anyone who follows me regularly should now check me out over at My Lost Romance.

Rumor

2011-02-28T22:44:00.000Z

Rumor is my favourite character. I have her symbol tattooed behind my ear. Gerard told me she's his favourite too.

Just wow!

2011-02-26T23:19:00.001Z

Gerard, you really are too beautiful for words. I love and admire you for your talent but man it's a bonus that you're so pretty.

February was MCR month for me

2011-02-26T21:22:00.000Z

I've had the best month, I managed to see My Chemical Romance three times in less than two weeks. They've left the country now which means I can relax a bit but it also means all the adrenalin has now left my system and whatever was keeping me going has gone and I'm sick. They better come back soon! I'm just gutted I'm going to miss them at all the festivals this year.

On the 12th I got to Wembley at 8am so that I could attempt to get to the barrier for the first night of their UK tour. It didn't quite work, I got about three rows back and sometimes got pushed back much further but I had a great view and loved the gig. I also met some really lovely Killjoys in the queue and we had so much fun. It was the hardest gig I've ever been to physically. I was dehydrated and the crowd was surging from before the first support act even came on. I saw 20-30 kids get pulled out and I spent a good three hours just trying to stay on my feet and breathe. The air was so thick with sweat everyone looked like they'd taken a mass shower and we were all breathing in wet air. The highlight for me was Vampire Money and I managed to find some energy to go mental to it!

Then we had the NME Awards ceremony on the 23rd. I got there at 10am (later than planned because I was booking more MCR tickets that morning) and I was the third in the queue. All the MCR fans turned up first so I got to meet some more amazing people. We all had seating tickets but the first 200 people were given pit passes at the last minute so I got to stand next to the aisle all the winners walk down and with my arms literally on the stage. I had a perfect view of all the performances and the winners. There were a bunch of indie freaks who were giving all the MCR fans grief and a load of girls trying to push past us but security clocked them and actually told them off like children, it was classic. We saw the band arrive and then they opened the show. They played Na Na Na and Vampire Money in balaclavas, proving that it's about music not image, something NME seriously needs to listen to. They won two awards and we were screaming for them so that they knew they had fans there supporting them. I must say, they looked so dapper in their suits and I was so proud of their speeches, they made NME look like fools. Foo Fighters performed and I could see Gerard and Mikey watching them off stage for a few songs so that was pretty cool too.

Finally on the 24th fans were able to be part of the video shoot for their new single Planetary. We all rocked up in our colours but didn't know what to expect. It was at Islington Academy so it was fairly intimate and the band did not disappoint. First they played a mini gig and then we were filmed on our own going mental to Planetary, then the band came back and we were filmed again. It was really hot and sweaty so if I am in the video I'll look horrendous! We were all chanting and singing songs and Gerard was loving it. He was sassing it up so much. I'm just glad I was part of MCR history and even if I'm not in the video I'll still be happy to have been there.

And then it was over :( But my Danger Days boxset arrived this morning and I got Mikey's raygun and mask so I'm pretty happy with that.

2011-02-19T21:50:00.000Z

I'd rather be...

2011-02-19T21:47:00.000Z

I think most people who know me would expect me to say that out of these two women I'd rather be Dita. I would love her wardrobe and her job but I adore Milla Jovovich and would give anything to look like her. She also seems pretty cool. Milla FTW!

Even if you stop believing in us....

2011-02-19T10:36:00.002Z

I'll NEVER stop believing in them. EVER!

You're tacky and I hate you

2011-02-19T10:34:00.002Z

So I've never blogged from my mobile before and I wanted to try it out. Done:)

I want Edie's dress

2011-02-07T22:05:00.000Z

I love the dress Edie Sedgwick is wearing in the rather cool photo with the Velvet Underground.

Star Wars shoes

2011-02-07T22:03:00.001Z

I'm a bit in love with these two right now

Wise words from Frank

Nowhere Boy

2011-01-30T22:17:00.000Z

We watched Nowhere Boy yesterday. It was a really good film and the performances were fantastic. I would very much like to look like Kristin Scott Thomas when I get old. And I'm a little bit in love with Aaron Johnson.

Miss Argentina

2011-01-30T17:44:00.000Z

"If I knew then, what I know now, I wouldn't have had my little accident."

This was always my favourite scene in Beetlejuice. I just loved Miss Argentina. I was a little obsessed with slit wrists as a youngster. I used to draw them on at school with red Bic. My friend once showed my dance teacher, she didn't look too impressed. Kids aye!

Gonna get me some antlers.

2011-01-30T17:29:00.000Z

I really want to watch the American Office. And sometimes you can't help but stereotype a little.

2011-01-27T22:42:00.000Z

Forces are aligning quietly...

2011-01-27T22:41:00.000Z

I feel like this all the time. I always think the worst and I'm constantly anxious. My nerves are shot and I can get really jittery. I believe in energies and sometimes I think they're all aligning against me. At the same time if I want something badly enough I tend to get it, so I guess those positive energies align too.

Wow. I'd love to be Billie in this picture.

2011-01-26T21:57:00.000Z

Is this real? I'm not sure it is. But my word I'd like to swap places with Billie Piper here. David Tennant is my number one Doctor but Matt Smith is pretty hot. I saw Matt Smith in the Hawley Arms just before he became really famous.I brushed past him on the stairs and may or may not have touched his arm on purpose (I did do it. I'm a creep). I also had my first ever David Tennant dream the other night. I wish I could say it was awesome but unfortunately he just asked me to buy him a salad.

I want a pink wig

2011-01-24T22:38:00.000Z

I want to be just like Natalie Portman in Closer. Which is an awesome film by the way. Pink hair just suits everyone!

I like a man in a suit

2011-01-24T22:26:00.001Z

Today a work colleague told me I don't look like the sort of girl who likes a man in a suit. Really? Surely every girl likes a man in a suit?! Even girls like me, who think hardcore gigs are the best place to go hot man spotting.

Maybe I've just been watching too much James Bond recently but a nice, black, tailored suit can't be beat.

I don't belong here!

2011-01-23T19:24:00.000Z

You're not your job.

2011-01-23T19:22:00.000Z

It would be great....

I reviewed Voodoo Hussy's 15th January gig at The Borderline for Bring The Noise.
You can read it here, please share the links and comment :)
Just as an aside, I grabbed a few photos with Shabby afterwards, as I have a tiny (read: huge) crush on her. She was lovely and gorgeous and I'm gutted the photos came out so blurry. Oh well there's always next time.

I do this all the time!

2011-01-21T22:02:00.001Z

Most recognisable boobs in show biz?

2011-01-21T22:01:00.000Z

I seriously think Scarlett Johansson has the most recognisable boobs in Hollywood. They're epic!

What an awesome light fitting

2011-01-21T21:59:00.001Z

Dita is a star

2011-01-19T20:57:00.002Z

Nostalgia

2011-01-12T20:49:00.000Z

I look back on my time in Coventry with quite a rose tint these days even though I know for a fact it was one of the most miserable times of my life and for the first year I was so depressed my hair was falling out. I wouldn't go back or anything but I have more fond memories than I think I had actual experiences there.

I have so much to say...

2011-01-12T20:46:00.000Z

This is so true of me. Especially when I'm given a chance to air a grievance. So frustrating.

I want to try all of this eye make-up

2011-01-11T21:28:00.000Z

I love a fake lash and a good old flick of the eyeliner.

I can't decide.....

2011-01-11T21:18:00.002Z

I'm totally going to rock this look on the beach in future

2011-01-11T21:17:00.000Z

Maybe on my honeymoon I can do Vampira meets Hawaii?

I would also like this figure please

2011-01-10T23:04:00.002Z

Amazing frontman

2011-01-10T22:54:00.000Z

And lovely guy. I look up to Frank a lot because he does his own thing, is good at it, and doesn't give a flying fuck what anyone else thinks. It's always a pleasure when I see him, a true gent.

I found this ace picture of him here. It's a really cool blog so check it out.

Red hair. Vacant expression...

2011-01-10T22:11:00.002Z

"Wow you're cool."

2011-01-10T22:08:00.001Z

This is my body inspiration

2011-01-09T13:33:00.000Z

I know I can't have the boobs but I want to look like this. The wedding diet has begun, and it's let about losing weight than streamlining a bit. I'm walking to work and back every weekday and need to start some leg exercises. I might even get the old running shoes out and have a run....probably not though to be fair. It's all about curves in the right places and less loose skin.

I would print this out and pop it over my desk to keep my inspired but I fear it's a little inappropriate in the office.

I miss the 10th Doctor

2011-01-09T12:12:00.000Z

Much as I love Matt Smith, you just can't beat David Tennant. When Matt Smith is given some darker storylines, like David had all the time, then I'll reconsider my favourite.

Loving this look

2011-01-08T22:59:00.000Z

Whoever this is, she's ace.

I feel like this

2011-01-08T21:17:00.000Z

Every time my mum tells me to clean my Converse because "I'm not a child any more" I feel like shouting this. Especially since I'm 29, haven't lived at home for 7 and a half years and am getting married this year.

Mikey looks geeky gorgeous and Gerard just looks cute.

I haven't blogged about Lost for ages

2011-01-08T13:49:00.000Z

So here's a selection of Lost stuff I've come across and like.

Taking Twilight too far

2011-01-07T21:28:00.000Z

Now, I like Twilight as much as the next person but I am under no illusion that it has anything of value to say, that the books are well written or the films are well made. It's a guilty pleasure that I indulge in (yeah I've got an Edward Cullen action figure and a 7 foot banner from the première, I have no shame. So sue me.) but despite my numerous band, film and tv related tattoos you will never find me sporting anything near this stupid. Especially when I'm 49! And yes, I know one day I'll be 49 and have some dubious stuff on my body but that's a whole lot different to what this woman has done. I can't even begin to describe how creepy I find it.

Love this

2011-01-03T20:47:00.000Z

I like the shoes, the tattoos, the underwear, everything!

Newest Charlie related tattoo

2010-12-23T14:54:00.000Z

I recently got my 6th (or 3rd depending on how you count them) Lost related tattoo. The wildly talented Valerie Vargas gave me a stunning Hawaiian hula girl, topless of course, and what does she have at her feet? Why, an empty peanut butter jar of course! I still need to get the ocean and beach coloured but the hula girl herself is finished and I love her. I said I was going to get an empty jar to show my love for the character of Charlie and I did. I already have 'Late' and 'Fate' on my index fingers, as well has his candidate number on my pinkie (along with Ben's on the other hand and the numbers on my leg).

All of these photos are pretty fresh ones. The finger tats have spread a lot since these were taken.

I just think Charlie and Claire are the cutest couple and the most romantic too. That empty jar really represents a lot.

Sadness

My Little Pony

2010-12-22T18:45:00.002Z

These are so cute! I'm seriously considering getting a couple of My Little Ponies myself, along with a Care Bear and a few other 80's kids bits thrown in. Might make a good thigh piece.
