Been a while

I havent blogged in like a week, for a couple reasons, i was away with my girlfriend for a few days with no internet and back at school after half term so i havent had the time, so i thought it was time to do one. Gotta keep the world (the 70 or so people that read this) informed. 

Decided i have a fair bit to talk about so ill do it in sections, skip through to whatever takes your fancy, or skip past anything that doesnt.

1 - Holiday

2 - Back to school

3 - More music

1 - I had been looking forward to this for an absolute age. It was my first ever holiday with my girlfriend, so it was a special thing for us. The weather was pretty bad the whole weekend, but i had   a really great time, and me and Lily (my girlfriend) didnt have any fall outs or anything, so yeah all in all a good holiday. 

First day we got there about 2, and went out for lunch before going to the villa. The villa itself was pretty nice, it had a tv so we could watch dvds when we werent out. Okay im not feeling the dairy format, so ill just tell you the parts that i particularly enjoyed. The pool (centre parcs called in the very imaginatively named 'subtropical swimming paradise) was pretty awesome, they had a wave pool which is always good, a bunch of slides, and a really awesome set of rapids. Not the kind of rapids youve probably seen in pools before, where its a little dribble of current gently drifting you around in a circle, it was actually really fast. There was this one straight bit where you could go like a decent running sort of pace. Which is quick going headfirst in water. Paintball was good, but thats pretty self explanatory. Adrenaline high ropes (another brilliant centre parcs name) was also good. First off we did a Jacobs Ladder [http://www.elitetraining.co.uk/images/TeamAdventure_Files/Sussex/Jacobs%20Ladder%200355.jpg] which is that sort of thing. Me and Lily were teamed up with this little kid. The only reason he got to the top is because ide climb up first, then pull him up, bless him. Then we did this thing where we climbed up ontop of a platform atop a big pole with three other people (the platform was no more than a metre across, probably less) and balance up there, then do 'bum wars' where you had to knock the other two off with your bum. We were paired up with this old guy for this, so me and Lily teamed up to knock him off. Then, i knocked Lily off. Which was a bit mean, but they always say nice guys finish last (im joking by the way, i didnt care about winning. Much.). Eating out was also good, got to have a couple nice chats with Lily's parents, which doesnt really happen often. We also did bowling and table tennis, im sure you dont need me to explain whats involved there. If ive missed anything out i think of later, ill probably edit this. 

2 - School is such a drag. I hate getting up in the morning so much i cant describe it. My family and Lily can both testify that im really not a morning person, it doesnt really help that i go to bed late, but theres just not enough time in the day to do everything i want to do. Ide rather lose an hours sleep so i can relax watching tv or playing world of warcraft than miss out, and end up spending my whole day sleeping, eating, or being at school. Also GCSE's are only 10 weeks away. I cant believe theyre so close now, it feels a bit weird. I quite want to get them over with to be honest, im pretty hopeful ill do well with some revision and night before cramming. 

3 - A couple music related things i want to talk about. A Skylit Drives album Identity on Fire has grown on me, i was a bit harsh about it. Ide recommend it to be honest, its very melodic and easy on the ears for people not that into screaming and heavy breakdowns, so check out a couple songs on youtube or whatever. Im surprised i didnt think to write about Memphis May Fire's ep Between The Lies earlier. Its bloody fantastic. For those of you who have heard the previous ep and album, its heavier, more in your face, and the screams are vastly improved, but it still retains that southern swagger and the catchy hooks which made the first album very listenable. Far more chugging metal guitars, more breakdowns, but so riffy and with plenty of impressive guitar work to make it stand out from the crowd. I really would recommend that ep.

Action/Adventure for the stand out track.

I was going to write about world of warcraft as well, but i dont really feel like it right now. I probably will at a later date though (dont say you werent warned)

Thanks for reading guys, follow me on twitter if you would, and any feedbacks welcome.

Let me know if the new fonts any easier to read by the way.

Much love, AJ
