Slowly but steadily recovering from Hit The Deck Festival! It was definately worth the lack of sleep and the pain my feet are now in.
  It was such a long day.  Got into the taxi at 9.45am, the driver was banterous and funny, even if he couldn't find his way and the lads ended up directing him using the map..
We collected our wristbands from Rock City, bit then had an hour to kill so wandered into Nottingham to get something to eat.  After wandering round in circles and walking past many cafes and fast food restaurants we finally found a Mcdonalds, which was what the boys really wanted.
  We swapped into different venues throughout the day so we could see all the bands we wanted to.

First up were We Are Fiction, they were amazing and such a great start to the day, got us all in the mood!

Following on from there we listened to a bit of Kiss Corona, they sounded really good, however they were performin on The Basement stage, which is a lot smaller and it was hard to get in so unfortunately we left early, so from there we went to Stealth adn listened to Blitz Kidz, who again were really good and i am definately hitting them up on itunes at some point!
One of the highlights of the day was going to a Young Guns signing, we got to meet the whole band and they were all so lovely and i can now officially say i have met my favourite band. We got a few pictures and ou tickets signed, whcih put us all in a great mood!  throughout the day we caught other bands walking about and got pictures with them, including James, the lead singer of Deaf Havana.
The afternoon included another trip to get food, then we watched Deaf Havana, We Are The Ocean, The Blackout, Young Guns and Underoath. They were all amzing and very impressive live!  This is what real music is about; writing well, performing live well; and just being a genuinely nice people.
During Underoath i was stood almost next to Simon, the bassist from Young Guns, also bumped into Gustav Wood 2 more times!
Eventually got into the taxi home at 11pm, after a good 12 hours of being on my feet and listening to some of the best bands I have heard.

Was VERY impressed with Hit The Deck Festival! They couldn't have made the day any better!  I can quite happily say it was one of the best days ever.
Definately going again next year if I can!

Great music, great people, great friends, great dancing and singing; that is all i can say.

You're so naive, yet so.

So it's just a week to go until Hit The Deck Festival!  So excited, can't wait to see all the bands, but also just to have an amazing day with some friends! 
The next few weeks are so busy, I have something on practically everyday.  Exams are looming, but i'm not letting that get me down!  So many good things planned with friends! And of course there is always last day and prom and parties which should be all round amazing!

This is my most played song at the moment, although the Kooks are gettting seemingly popular on my itunes playlist.  I think now that the sun is shining people are listening to more upbeat and jolly songs, that you just want to get up and have a boogie to! Good upbeat music puts you in such a good mood.

My plan for today is to chill out in the sun with some friends and then do some revision, buut the revision doesn even bother me as i can chill in the sun and do it. Hoorah!

Note to self though: Must update ipod.
