Some Days

I know I haven’t posted the Soundwave post yet but it will eventually be posted.

Saturday morning, my dad and I went to the temple to set up a food stall for holi. My cousin’s husband, my nephew (I fell weird saying that because he’s only four years younger than me) and two of our family friends were already there so for a while we set up everything.
Nothing happened for a while but a little after 12 we started getting our first customers. Darshan (my nephew) and i were in charge of taking orders and handling the money.
Things picked up after a while and things got a little hectic because of how many people were there, but it was still fun. Around 1 there were more people there and everyone was dancing and throwing coloured powder at each other. There was this one man who was really entertaining to watch because his dancing was hilarious so we stood around and laughed at him for a while.
We finished around 4 and although I didn’t work for that long, I was pretty tired. Disha (my niece) and her friends got red powder on my face and all over my shoes.

I don’t know if I can save them

at least they’re not good shoes. I found a pack of pink powder so I covered her hair with it (my cousin wasn’t too impressed). Damn I should have taken some photos.

My ma and I went home while my dad stayed behind to clean up.
When i got home, the Lion King was on so I watched it. I can’t believe it was the first time they aired it on TV, what’s wrong with them!
I started crying while watching the movie, i don’t understand how it still makes me cry. I’ve seen it SO many times! They don’t make movies like that anymore, seriously the greatest ever.

After my dad came home, we all went to my family friend’s place for a kid’s birthday party. I hadn’t seen all of them since September so it was great catching up. Oh and omg, one of the family friends had a baby last year I think but I hadn’t seen the baby and I saw him for the first time that day and oh gosh he is so cute and his eyes! They’re like bluey grey and I’ve never seen eyes like that on an Indian before (besides in photos and TV). He has the nicest eyes!

On Sunday I got the bus to fountain gate. On the way there I heard these two girls mention hcr so I thought ooh they’re going too. When we got off the bus, this other girl who was on the bus came up to me and asked if I knew where the entrance was, I asked her if she was going to see hcr and she said yes. We both went to Sanity and she bought their new album, I hadn’t made up my mind yet on whether I wanted it or not.
There were already quite a few people there so we ended up being in the middle. The security people said that you have to have an album to take to the signing because that’s the only thing they were going to sign so I went and bought the album. After waiting for a while, they finally came. My view of the stage wasn’t the greatest so I could mainly only see RK, Ian and Nash’s heads. There were a few girls in front of us who were holding up these big signs and everyone hated them because they kept blocking our view. HCR played Tonight Tonight, I Like It Like That and Honestly (all off their new album). The songs were played acoustically so they ended up sounding alright, I still haven’t gotten used to their new style.
I found it really strange seeing so many fans there, I remember meeting them last time and not many people knew who they were, so this was weird for me. There was a strange sort of mix too, I expected there to just be teenage girls but there were also older girls and guys and then like middle aged people too. There was this lady there with all her kids, bizarre.
After their performance, they announced that they would be back in Spring (I’m thinking that’s our spring). They went away then came back for the signings, it was a bit of a wait but we finally got close to the front. Oh gosh RK looked so good! His smile omg

We got up on stage and Jamie was first, I said hi to him and he signed the album cover, Nash was next, didn’t get to say anything to him. When it got to RK I said hi and asked if I could get a photo of him holding up my sign and he said yes so I got the photo and then I left the line because both he and Ian had already signed the album.

So happy with this photo!

It was so bloody short! I didn’t have time to say anything or take more photos and ugh so rushed! We went to the side of the stage and took a few photos of them, then after all the signings were done, they left. There was no way of following them because security was so tight.

I got lunch with the girl I met (her name was Nunu (I think)). After we ate, we went to the bus stop and ended up waiting ages for the bus to come so we just talked. She was pretty cool, really easy to talk to too.
I got home and didn’t do a whole lot the rest of the day. My parents went to another family friends kid’s birthday but I stayed home because of uni the next day.

Uni has been pretty normal. I hate Mondays and Tuesday because they completely drain me. I’ve had a few cool labs, we tested our blood type (I already knew mine but I did it anyway) and it was so awesome testing it out. This guy working next to me was scared to prick his finger so I told him it doesn’t hurt and made him feel a bit better (haha).

In my microbiology lab yesterday, one of the lab demonstrators told me to smile more because I always look so worried. I didn’t know how to react.

The other day I listened to an AP magazine podcast which was an interview with Alex Deleon and it was really, really interesting. It went for over an hour and a half and the interview was so in depth it was great! If you like The Cab, I suggest checking it out. I decided to subscribe to them and started downloading some of their older podcasts. Yesterday on the train I listened to a William Beckett one from 2010, this was before the band broke up so it was sad listening to him talk about how they’re working on a new album and that in no way has the band broken up. Although it made it sad, it was still a great interview. You get an insight of how hard it is for musicians to start up their career and it just makes me appreciate them even more.

I saw this skirt on tumblr and oh gosh I want it so bad!

Joey Thunder has been tweeting Dave Briggs about how much he loves him and Joey tweeted about crying during a show in Manila or Singapore (I can’t remember) (It was their last show of the tour) and omg he’s so cute! They’re both so cute and how they call themselves salt and pepper, aaah so cute!

Now I’ve forgotten what else I was going to say so I’ll end it now.

The Hunger Games next week!
