Ok, so here are some of the blogs I promised I'd upload - with the dates they were written. Enjoy.
20th March 2010
Ok, so after a few weeks of seeing obsessive fans posts about a certain frontman’s love life I decided to check out what was all the fuss.
From this I found that a girl named Katie was/is in a relationship with this singer or according to his fans ‘may have fucked him’.
But, what was most interesting wasn’t the fact she might have been or was with this man but it was the fact that she was my age and she was a band/tour manager, clothing company designer and owner, alternative model and even owned her own record label.
Now, with me being a student in Communication, Media and Popular Music I was certainly intrigued in finding out how she managed to get where she was, how she started in the business and if she had any jobs going.
So, tonight I emailed her.
It was one of my usual nights where I couldn’t sleep and I just thought I’d take the opportunity to email her on the email she left me on the devil’s site Formspring.me
To my great surprise she emailed back almost straight away; after general introductions and me stating what I was interested in we exchanged AIMs to chat more conveniently.
So of course we started chatting straight away and really hit it off.
Katie said that I was ‘full on’ and that I’d get to sit in on meetings for both the music and clothing side and that I was welcome to come along to as much of it as I would like - even when she was just sat around designing with her boyfriend, friends and associates. The whole time I was thinking HELL YES! This is going to be amazing.
Further to us chatting she chose to confide in me and tell me about her boyfriend -who by the way sounds like a right babe and I can’t wait to meet him.
Honestly, the chat just kept getting better and better and I really can't wait to see her in the flesh and get the ball rolling with possible work.
Katie says that there are meetings next week with Kerrang! Which she’s invited me along to.
Honestly.Cannot.Wait.
Will report back with more later
Till next time,

Well, today like most of my weekends at Uni I spent all day sleeping after staying up most of the night to talk to Katie - mind you I wasn’t tired anyway.
My sleeping pattern is fucked! Seriously. I think I’m slowly developing some sort of insomnia.
Sometimes I feel like I’m wasting my life away. I feel like I’m either walking around in my own little world because I’m too fucked or too tired - I can see I’m only going to scrape through this year at Uni and although that’s fine I’ve had it drilled into me that that is not good enough. Hence why I want to do something that I know I will enjoy with some sound as fuck people and maybe get somewhere where my family will actually be proud of me and not see me as a disappointment for not studying a traditional subject.
But, oh well I’m gonna try and do something for me for once after all I’m the only one who can make something of my life.
Anyway - sorry for the deep meaningful mumbo jumbo just needed to get a couple of things off my chest.
Till next time,

21st March 2010
So, tonight I went for cocktails with my lovely friend Laura and her on/off boyfriend Anthony. Was really good to go out with them as to be honest I haven’t really been that sociable lately - I just haven’t been in the mood to go out and have had a ton of work to do. Really cannot wait for Easter just to relax and not have to worry about deadlines.
Anywho, yeah cocktails. I’ve made it my mission to try every cocktail on the menu at The Font either by the end of this year or at least by the time I finish Uni.
So after getting incredibly fucked off of copious amounts of alcohol Laura and I went to get food whilst Anthony picked up. God, I’ve not had green in what seems like forever!!! So, I was looking forward to a joint or two buttttttt, Anthony fucked off somewhere so I didn’t get any :(
Whilst this was happening I spoke to Katie on Twitter; she told me to get on AIM as she needed someone to talk to and to expect bad news. I knew this couldn’t be good.
Anyway she told me she’s split up with her boyfriend that day after he said something really inappropriate. I’m really gutted for her because even though I know I’ve only been speaking to her for one day but I know she really loves him; it’s obvious. I just hope he gets his act together and apologizes and they can get back on track.
But I plan on cheering her up from now on, especially Wednesday when I see her for the first time - turns out we’re going to London or Reading. Hopefully London; not been for ages.
Told my friends about the work experience because I was too excited to keep it to myself - everyone is really jealous and wants to know what I’m doing, where I’m going, who I’ll meet etc. To be honest - I don’t care if I meet anyone famous or not, yeah It’d be cool but I’m in it for the music and the chance to make a difference in people’s lives. That’s why I’m doing this, that’s why I’m excited.
Till next time,
