yesterday, we went to see the fratellis at camden barfly.
we had bought 4 tickets, and there were 3 of us going, so emma smith came along,
it started at 7.30, so we left early to make it to TOPSHOP. and we went and had a re-take of the original topshop glasses photo. we walked around there for a while, tried on the wigs. there was a huge afro one, and a german girl told me i should buy it. i didn't, 
we got back on the tube and it was about 7.05 so we panicked a little, but i think we decided we'd be fashionably late or something, because we seemed to be dilly dallying, we got off in camden, and the directions said 'take a right' we took a left, and went to macdonalds, by now it was way past half seven, so we were planing on missing the support.
after macdonalds we strolled up. and saw some suspicious characters lurking about under the 'camden lock' bridge. we walked past the elephants head we did, pete sweets boozer. and then we saw barfly, so we walked in, and it was just a pub, so we were a little confused, 'wheres all the music?' and so we had a look around and some man said ' go down there and take a left' so we did. and there was a tiny little staircase with a man sitting at the bottom saying 'ticket?' so he stamped our hand, we went upstairs, and found the place, it was brilliant. really quite small, like the size of a classroom. and very few people (few more came later, but still way less than expected) and the music hadn't started yet, which was good for us. so we stood about a bit, and then the first band came on, so we moved a bit closer, and when we decided we liked them, a bit closer, until we were at the stage, there was just one person infront of us, but then her friend turned up, who was soo tall and i couldn't see a thing. the first band were good, the second band were even better 'figure 5' they were called, and the drummer... HAS NO ARMS! it was incredible, he just had drumsticks strapped to his stumps and played like that. very very clever. and they were a bit kaiser cheif-y. which was good to see, bit of tambourine shakin, some strage dancing.
then the fratellis came on, they were very good. they were funny and scottish and some girl next to me said 'what language are they speaking?' and her friend said 'scottish i think'. and they sung some songs no one knew, and then they did 'creepin up the backstairs' and everyone went WILD, i really mean wild. like pushing and chargind forward and throwing beer, my legs got soaked, but it was all good fun, and as soon as that song finished, everyone was calm again. then they did some more songs, and then went off stage, but came back straight away with one more song. then we left. but the whole night was great.
ooh, i am writing this on the new laptop, which came on monday and is brilliant. i love it. the other day, i had history homework due, hadn't done it, so i typed it up in the middle of the night, and i used world book for some revision.
8 mornings left at school until i leave forever. tomorrow is everyones final full day, next week we go in in the mornings and then can leave or stay and revise after lunch. i am only staying for english and science which is good, cos i don't want to be in school while no one else is. after about 15th may, we are leaving for good, only come in for exams, and then, on the 30th june, we go in for assembly, then thats it, forever!
we have a lot planned now we have so much time on our hands, saturday 'rock against racism' free concert in trafalgar square, boy kill boy & belle and sebastian among others, monday myself and lillie are going for a shop about in old camden, and then next thursday we are going to see simon amstell from popworld in islington, its fun to be able to go out and do stuff!
