‘Mum’ burns a hole in daughter’s pocket….

Well, I’m sat here in my girl’s photoshop class that she teaches..It’s a Tuesday morning. I went home, I got bored and I’ve been feeling way lonely lately and I miss my nan and sister..well, my family in general. It’s been a lovely few days weather-wise. Amazing. Boiling. Other than the weather my last few days have been shit. My mum had £600 off me…cos’ she’s skint and terrible with finances. Now I’m skint though and I can’t do anything…I don’t want to do anything because it means taking cash out of my savings. My car is doing my head in and needs fixing. I also got a speeding fine to pay and that’s in the first year of driving! It sucks. The University have been houndin’ me for my electronic fob thing – you take the register with it… If I don’t get it back they’ll charge me. Am I made of money? My mum seems to think so. £600 out of pocket and a holiday to Lanzarote in July, then Benidorm in September, what a state.
      I’ve been writing another review, this time it is on the album ‘Ritual’ by Irish lyricist Jape (a.k.a Richie) I don’t know when it’ll be online though. I get more CD’s to review soon!

First review online!

Hey guys,
     You’ve missed me this week as I’ve been really busy – I’ve been working, getting merry at my local, meeting French people and shopping for my partner’s birthday. I mentioned in my last post about writing for an online magazine. Well, I’ve written my first three CD reviews and I have one more to go. Also, my first review on The Young Republic’s latest single ’Paper Ships’ has been posted on the site. If you go to www.noizemakesenemies.co.uk you will find it. The other two I’ve written are on the Welsh singer, Cate Le Bon, and the North London Indie band, The Tunics. These reviews should be up very soon! 
      This week is also gonig to be a hectic one. I have a meal to go to on Tuesday with all my old school friends, I have work and I desperately need a hair cut! So, keep an eye out for my next post and take a look at my music reviews online
    

Writing for ‘Noize Makes Enemies’

Good afternoon all,
      Yesterday I recieved an email from the editor of an online music magazine – ‘Noize Makes Enemies’-and I’m going to be reviewing CDs and MP3s for them! I also get to attend gigs, get on the guestlists and maybe even interview bands. I’m going to start slowly though – get the CDS, review, send them to Martin. Then, if there are gigs around here I’ll do ‘em, and take photos Fab!
      How’s everything else? I head you asking. Fine, fine. I was up until gone 3am this morning, listening to spanish CDs by Michel Thomas. I’m really into it – listening to the CD, pausing it, writing things down. I have to learn it before September, when me and the wife fly off to Benidorm for three weeks to visit friends.
      Off to the pub tonight – woohoo!- I don’t have work today, the place I work is closed double-days for bank holiday, but I don’t know what makes them so special. I’m not complaining though…

What a long day…

Oh my God, what a long day it’s been. Had my Language and Society exam this afternoon and it went pretty well, then I had to rush to work, then when I finished I went to where my girlfriend works and helped her for half an hour. Busy, busy, busy. Now I’m sat being attacked my daddy long legs and gnats. I can feel them on my face. TV is great tonight, some thing about mail-order brides and wedding addicts. Have you seen that ‘Midnight Man’ with James Nesbitt? Wow, what a guy. What a story! That’ll be me one day, I’m sure of it.
      My girlfriend has been taking the mick out of me bigtime today, first of all I said – without thinking – that Mount Everest is in England and now she is laughing at my hand actions – I just seen an ad. for a programme on channel five at ten pm. ‘My car is my lover’. Wow. Five is good recently, it used to be old-fashioned. ‘Kidnapped Abroad’ is on soon to, about some tribe that kidnapped tourists, some of whom were not seen again. What happened!? Did they eat them?
      Oh hang on, there’s another… Muslim women smoking sheesha – if that’s how you spell it – in Egypt. The women are getting nervous because of the journalist’s camera crew. It’s looked down upon for the girls to be at the club smoking, they don’t like to be on television and the journalist now has to cover her ankle…
    I love documentaries. They look so fun and I’d be grateful of any opportunity to present one. Think of all the experiments and new sights and emotions. Follow me…

Modernising my life

Well, after all the times I’ve told myself ‘I’m not getting one, I don’t need one’ I’ve bought a Nintendo Wii. Yeah, a little bit behind schedule. I swore I wouldn’t get one. I swore I wouldn’t get an ipod – I don’t have an ipod. I’m fine with my itunes. I have millions of un-listened to CDs in my room, they’re just collecting dust.
      Anyways, a Wii. I only paid £150 for it, which isn’t bad, considering it has the sports game, as well as Zelda and some other shooting game with it. Brilliant, but I haven’t played on it yet. I have an exam tomorrow, so once that is over, bring it on!
     I’m not one bit ashamed that I finally gave in to my materialistic wants. I played on a friend’s Wii once and I was fascinated. I figured that I’d get one for the fitness side of it, though the doctor thinks my weight is fine….Fine? Could be better then. I’m so glad I’ve started my new job, it means I can keep fit and be occupied. Being bored just drives me insane!

Finally, a blog!

Hey everyone,
      It’s my first time on ‘wordpress’ and to be honest I don’t know what to say in my first post. First of all I’ll introduce myself – I have an ‘About Commas ‘n’ Colons’ page but I don’t know where/how you view it from my blog.
      My name is Amy and I’m from South Wales, UK. I run ‘Commas ‘n’ Colons’ online – www.commasncolons.co.uk - As a young, creative writer I offer freelance work to magazines, newspapers and any other businesses. My strengths are writing movie and book reviews, travel writing, short prose and critical essays. Though I prefer to write these I will take on any challenge.
      Phew, well…I’m pretty much going to be keeping you up-to-date with my life. Most of the time you’ll see rants about people, society, the government. I am very critical and I complain alot.
Come back soon!
Amy
