Room 94 | 3 Brothers 1 Kit Tour Experience

On Wednesday July 17th, I went with two of my friends to see my favourite band Room 94 in concert on their 2013 summer tour with the title "3 Brothers 1 Kit Tour" 

Room 94 are an unsigned band which consists of 4 young lads from North London (UK). The band is made up of 3 brothers, Kieran Lemon (lead vocals and guitar), Dean Lemon (drums) and Sean Lemon (guitar) and are joined by their friend Kit Tanton who plays bass.

From left to right: Sean, Kieran, Dean and Kit

I first heard of Room 94 at the end of 2011 when I was browsing through twitter and they followed me. I listened to a few of their songs and instantly fell in love with the band and their music. It turned out that they were supporting a band called Twenty Twenty on tour who I had already booked tickets to see. So as you can imagine when I realised they were the support I was incredibly happy.

After watching Room 94 perform on the TT tour, I met them afterwards. I was pushed into Kieran which made me panic slightly, but Kieran told me he liked my shirt and my voice and hugged me but our chat was cut short as a girl fell into him (I think she may have had a few too many) so I made a quick escape and stood near Kit. Kit then asked me whether I was going to their summer tour that year, which unfortunately I couldn't go. Never the less, he gave me a leaflet and then carried on chatting to other girls who were mulling around waiting to get a photo with the support acts. 

I bought their mini album 'Loud Noises' at the merch stall and I was impressed with how great it was and slightly baffled as to why they weren't more popular. 

Following this gig I made sure to tweet the band account and the individual accounts telling them of the great experience, although I think I deleted these tweets ages ago as they no longer appear on twitter if I try and search through 7000 tweets of mine. 

The 'Loud Noises' album was probably my favourite album of that year. It was perfect to listen to when on long drives through the countryside, on the beach on a summers day, or on rainy days. It still is one of my favourite albums to this day (which is saying a lot, because I own plenty).

When I heard that Room 94 were supporting Lawson on their tour earlier this year, I was bummed because I couldn't get tickets and so many of my friends went. This only encouraged me to make sure that I got tickets when they did their headline tour this summer.

The tickets went on sale I made sure to snap 2 tickets up that day. Then they announced they were releasing VIP tickets and I was determined to get 2 tickets. I have to catch a train after all gigs and I wouldn't have had a chance to hang around and meet everyone afterwards as I'd miss my train so the VIP sounded like a great opportunity.

Luckily I managed to get the two VIP tickets I wanted, and it just so happened that my friend Jo had got a VIP ticket too. I first saw her at the TT gig on her birthday but I was too scared to approach her so I messaged her on twitter a few months back instead when I managed to find her! 

We agreed that we'd meet up during the day and wait for their tour bus to arrive after getting some lunch (which is exactly what we did).

The day of tour arrived, and naturally I was very excited. I made sure that my friend met me very early so I could get the bus and train into Brighton to meet Jo. 

I remember being quite apprehensive when waiting at Brighton station for Jo to meet us and I've got absolutely no idea why! 

After she arrived and we'd done the initial hugging and chatting we decided to go to and grab some lunch at Maccy D's, quickly pop into Hollister because my friend Harry wanted to grab some boxers in the sale and then go and wait by the venue. 

Turns out we arrived at the venue at 12.30 and had a very very long wait for the band to arrive. We saw 3 others girls wandering around which we could tell were going to the gig.

I managed to get burnt, but it was totally worth it. I think it was 3(ish) before Room 94 arrived at the venue but when we saw the tour bus go around to the back of the venue, I called out to two girls stood at the front to follow us. We made friends with them as they were incredibly lovely girls roughly the same age as us. 

We had to wait for 15 minutes round the back of the venue before the boys got out of the van and helped unpack the equipment for the evening.

Kieran was the first to come and talk to us then Dean. Kit wandered off for a cheeky cigarette and Sean went inside. We then decided it was probably best we go round to the front of the venue to ensure we got a good place in the queue. 

There was only us 5 who greeted the boys from the bus and 6 other girls outside the venue for over an hour before anybody else arrived but only 3 of us were VIP. We all made friends and agreed to meet up in the gig after we got out of VIP which we did towards the end of the night.

VIP was manic. There was more people than I'd expected there to be but it made it all the more fun. It took us 40 minutes to get a photo and chat with Kit and Sean and we ended up having 15 minutes to try and get Kieran and Dean in. They were surrounded by other fans which made it incredibly hard to but we managed to have a nice chat and have our photos taken. 

After the VIP meet and greet, Harry, Jo and I ran down the stairs and into the venue to ensure that we got first or second row which we did. There was two really lovely girls next to us (one of which looked like Carrie Fletcher but never the less) and we ended up serenading each other with All Time Low and One Direction lyrics when they were played into the venue.

We waited patiently for the first support act (The Ratells) to come on, who absolutely rocked the stage and interacted with the crowd a treat. The second support act was The Last Carnival who are local to us and are from Brighton. They were also fantastic!

I'm so glad Room 94 picked The Ratells and The Last Carnival as support acts as they were both the kind of genre of music I'd pick to listen to anyway, and they were a great laugh.

Then Room 94 came on stage and as you can all imagine everybody became slightly erratic and the whole venue erupted with screaming girls (and a few boys who attended). 

I literally cannot fault the boys at all for their set or how they conducted themselves. They remain so genuine no matter how many fans they gain and always try to please everyone by adding some old songs and new songs to the set list.

I had an absolutely incredible night (even if I could barely hear or walk the following day and I've never been so sweaty in my entire life). I was able to share the experience with some lovely people and I also was able to meet some great people too. 

I will definitely keep attending Room 94 gigs for as long as they stay together. I know that being at one of their gigs is when I'm happiest and I was so sad when it came to an end. 

I'm seeing them again in October when they support Lawson on their autumn/winter tour and hopefully I'll be able to meet them before or after but we'll just have to play it by ear.

McFly | The Memory Lane Tour Experience

I can honestly say that 16.05.13 was the best night of my entire life. Partly because Will Daley commented on my facebook photo complimenting me, but also because I was part of the Memory Lane Tour and finally got to see my idols after 10 years of waiting for the perfect opportunity. 

McFly have changed my life and I'm so thankful I was given the opportunity to revel in this fantastic experience with someone that McFly brought me a lot closer to. 

To say that we were excited was a bit of an understatement. For weeks and months before, we were going out of our minds so you can imagine how bad we were on the actual day! Unfortunately we had school so we had to contain the excitement somewhat, but as soon as we arrived at our homes and it was time to get ready, all hell broke loose. 

My mother put the Memory Lane CD on very loudly and helped me decide what to wear (finding something to wear to a concert is a very important, in case you overheat and end up fainting or something ridiculous). 

Then, at 6.20(ish) Ellie and her fantastic sister picked me up and that's when our journey to The Brighton Centre for the best night of our lives started. 

In the car, the three of us were utterly beside ourselves, although Ellie's sister was probably a little less excited than us and kept reminding us to 'chill' because it got to the point where we weren't even communicating through English language, we were literally squealing and flailing our arms around. 

When we finally arrived in Brighton and saw the queue outside the Brighton Centre, that's when it actually kicked in that we were seeing THE McFly. The four boys that were in Smash Hits magazines, Girl Talk magazines and on posters around my room when I was younger. 

After we parked the car, we practically ran down 12 flights of stairs (which after the concert, felt as though they were twice as high). Then we had to decide whether to join the massive queue at the front of the Centre or join the small queue at the back (even though we weren't entirely sure if that's where we were meant to go) but nevertheless that's where we decided to go. 

We joined the queue, and three representatives for Saint Kidd came and gave us some flyers and a sticker (which I've stuck in the back of my Unsaid Things copy). The queue moved rather quickly, which none of us were expecting. Then we got inside and saw the merch stall and started squealing... again. 

I bought a wristband and a poster which I was so chuffed as the merch was a little less expensive than I first thought it would be. There was literally so many people once we got inside the Brighton Centre, and I found myself looking around and keeping an eye out for people I knew would be going, although couldn't see any (until we actually got to our seats).

Whilst in the queue for the loos, Danny tweeted a photo of him stood in the middle of the centre facing the stage and you could see so many girls running around showing people whilst trying not to scream. 

The one thing I didn't understand was why you had to keep lids off of your bottles, although that's probably incase people got a bit frisky and decided to throw them on stage or at somebody else. 

Claire (Ellie's sister), Ellie and I 

Once we got to our seats, which weren't obstructed what so ever, it wasn't long before the first act (AKA JAMES FREAKIN BOURNE OF BUSTED) was introduced by 'Mr Ant-Tastic' and only a few of us on our side were stood up, which took the absolute piss to be quite fair. BUT, despite that, nearly everyone knew the words to Air Hostess and Year 3000 and it was simply magical.

After James had finished head banging to country music, which admittedly, was a little weird, Ant-Tastic came back onto the stage and got everybody hyped ready for The Vamps.

The Vamps were unbelievable and I'm so thankful they were supporting McFly on tour. They performed 4 songs; Teenage Kicks, Cecelia, Little Things and Wild Heart and nailed every single one of them. I screamed a little too much when they came on, especially when they zoomed in on James' face and Trists' arms, and my voice had nearly gone by the end of their set.

Then there was a huge gap of time for everyone to go and get a drink, go to the loo etc etc. During this time one of my friends came over and found Ellie and I and told us of how she was close to James and he smiled when she screamed for him to marry her. 

Before long, the lights eventually went down and the whole centre erupted with screaming girls and people lighting up their phones or raising their hands in the air.

The set list, was perfect.

There's only one thing I was slightly disappointed about, the fact they didn't play If U C Kate as it's one of my favourites but even so, it didn't make the night any less amazing. 

One of the highlights was definitely the entire Centre taking part in the YMCA. It made everyone feel completely ridiculous, but it was also incredibly fun! 

It was a sensational evening, and one I'll certainly never forget.

Cheeky Summer Treats #1 |

These little gems, are absolutely perfect for a summer's evening sat out in the garden with a group of friends, to take to the beach or to take on a picnic!

They're incredibly easy and relatively cheap to put together and taste absolutely delicious.

All you need to do is buy a punnet of raspberries from your local market or supermarket for £1-£2 and buy two different packets of chocolate chips(either white and milk, white and dark, milk and dark etc) for £1.50-£2.50.

Then once you get home, find either cute cupcake cases or a pretty plate to put them on and simply slot the chocolate chips into the tops of the raspberries. 

The smooth chocolate contrasts with the sharp raspberry to make the perfect combination and think of it this way, you're getting 1/5 of your 5 a day, whilst being a little bit cheeky and having chocolate in doing so. 

What are your thoughts on this idea? 

Do you think it sounds good?

Never Let Me Go | Kazuo Ishiguro

“Memories, even your most precious ones, fade surprisingly quickly. But I don’t go along with that. The memories I value most, I don’t ever see them fading.” 

Kathy is 30 years old who's reserved adult life is interrupted by her past by her two friends from school, Ruth and Tommy. They grew up in a place called Hailsham, a remote and sheltered private school which happens to be cut off from the outside world. The Hailsham students are brought up to be happy and healthy and lead to believe their perfect childhood and health will one day be of service to society. 

Kathy reflects on her life at Hailsham after rekindling her friendship with Ruth, questioning the meaning behind her own life, her determination and her complex relationship with Tommy.

Her memory starts in the classrooms at Hailsham with the rest of the school's children, where creativity and a health are encouraged and supported. The children are completely isolated but seem content enough to carry on living their lives this way as it's all they've known and see it as normal. In fact the idea of the outside world thrills them, yet terrifies them at times.

The world only gets more confusing as the Hailsham children enter young adulthood and leave the confines of the school before accepting their inescapable fate to 'serve society'.  

From left; right: Keira Knightley as Ruth, Carey Mulligan as Kathy and Andrew Garfield as Tommy in the film adaptation of Never Let Me Go

The Verdict: 

The story and tone of Never Let Me Go is so unique that it doesn't fit a specific genre. 

Kathy's passive narrative style allows the sci-fi elements of the story to blend into the background with ease, whilst the reader concentrates on the completely human side to the story.

Her relationships with both Tommy and Ruth are so different and complex to each other, yet the three are peculiarly tied together until the very end.

This novel appears as quite simple, but Ishiguro manages to tie in themes of friendship, deceit, love and death, all while exploring the meaning of life and the idea of having a soul with the story getting increasingly complex the closer you look.

Never Let Me Go was adapted into a movie, featuring Carey Mulligan, Andrew Garfield and Keira Knightley as the main roles. It's a completely captivating and heartbreaking.

Congenital Dislocation of the Hip | My CDH

This is going to be a very personal post as CDH is something I suffer with myself and have done since I was a baby. I'm making this post so you have an insight into what I've been through in the past sixteen years and if you know me from around school why I 'walk like a penguin'.

What is CDH?

Congenital dislocation of the hip (CDH) is a condition found from birth where the ball and socket joint at the hip does not stay locked together as it should.

The top of the thigh-bone (or femur) normally has a ball shape which rolls around within a “cup” shaped socket in the pelvic bones.

In some babies the shape of the ball or socket hasn't developed properly, which means that they easily become detached. As a result of this, the ball part of the joint may come out of the socket completely or simply be looser. If this isn't corrected the child may grow up with legs of different lengths and an abnormal gait (me being an example here), this would also cause pain and the early development of osteoarthritis of the hip joint.

Symptoms

All newborn babies have their hips checked for CDH within a few days of birth and at six weeks so that treatment can be started early if necessary. Unfortunately my CDH went un-noticed at birth and I didn't have a six week check up, so doctors had no idea I had it until I was nearly 2, which by then the condition had firmly set in.

One of the first things doctors would check for, would be a clicking sound when the baby's legs are moved apart. This sound occurs when the ball slips out of the socket, an obvious sign that there's a problem.

The dislocation can cause the following symptoms when the baby starts to walk if not detected earlier.

• Delayed walking
• Abnormal waddling gait (because one leg is shorter)
• Asymmetrical thigh creases
• Inability to move the leg out away from the body

As you can see from the photo above, there was definitely a problem.
How doctors couldn't see that, I've no idea
PS: I'm aware I look like a gimp

Personally, I don't remember much from the beginning of this very long journey with CDH,  obviously because I've had it since I was a tiny baby. I've had four big operations throughout my life, the first being when I was only just 18 months old. 

I believe my first operation was to relocate my hip into place and to do so they had to physically break my femur bone to bring it round into place, then screw it into place with little bolts. There was a complication though and I lost far too much blood. This resulted in having to have a blood transfusion. I had my leg put into a cast, but when I had it taken off, I fell off of my tricycle and broke my leg because it was so brittle so I had to go through the procedure again. I was put in a special cast (Spica) after that. A spica cast immobilises the hips and thighs so that the bones and tendons can heal properly.

I then had an operation after that to take the bolts out, this gave me a hefty 12" scar on my left leg. After that my left leg grew at a much slower pace than my right leg. I suffered with so much pain, especially in the winter, that my parents had to carry me for much longer than what a 'normal child' would be carried for. 

When I was 7, doctors and surgeons decided that I should have another operation to try and sort out the growth in my leg. I had metal staples put into my leg at the hip joint, I'm not entirely sure why as I never paid attention to what the surgeon had to say about it, I kept getting distracted by the bead roller-coaster toy in the consultation room, but never the less. 

I remember being told I had to have surgery a year after they'd actually decided to do it. They only gave me a few months to come to terms with it before I was booked in. I guess in hindsight it was a good thing they did this, because I wasn't really given the opportunity to freak out and back out of it. I completely broke down in tears when I was told, which is completely normal being a small child or a child at any age to be quite frank. 

The thought of an operation is very daunting, especially being at an age where you'll be able to remember everything leading up to and after it. I can't even express how terrified I was. The thought of somebody cutting deep into my skin whilst I was asleep made me feel sick. I was so paranoid that I was going to wake up midway through surgery and to this day that is still my biggest fear. I suffered with nightmares nearly every night leading up to it and couldn't sleep much afterwards because I was in so much pain during recovery.

I haven't had any operations since then and I only went to hospital every two years after simply for a check up but as of last June I no longer have to go for check ups! 

The surgeon said that they've done everything they possibly can and I just have to wait until my leg is in so much pain which should be within the next three years, go to my GP and get referred to the hospital again for a hip replacement. Yes, that sounds very strange I know. A hip replacement at the age of 19/20. 

CDH may not seem like a big deal but it has affected absolutely everything I've done in my life. There isn't ever a day where I don't think about it. I walk with a substantial limp which people often feel the need to point out at school. I have 2 relatively big scars on my left leg which I've always been quite self conscious about. I find it difficult to walk long distances, I have very limited flexibility in my left leg, I can't cross my legs so I've always stood out during circle time/assemblies, I can't do many exercises because it simply doesn't let me which has caused me to be slightly on the tubbier side and I'm worried that in the future I won't be able to have children naturally because of it. 

My disability is the main reason I was bullied throughout primary school whereas my weight was the focus of my bullying during secondary school. 

CDH isn't a condition which is known about that much, so when I tried explaining it to people they look very puzzled. I've given up trying to explain it to people now and simply say that I limp because I have one leg shorter than the other. 

I don't use a wheelchair as I'm still able to walk, so when I tell people that I'm disabled they give me a strange look as if to say 'How can you be disabled? You can walk! You don't look disabled' which leads me onto another point. Just because somebody doesn't 'look' disabled or they don't have an obvious disability (in the fact they're in a wheelchair) doesn't mean they aren't. 

If you go to my school and you've read this post then I hope you're now aware that you've been taking the piss out of me for years over something I simply cannot do anything about. 

If not, then I hope this has given you an insight into a very important thing about me.

Bullying | It Gets Better

It's crazy to think that half of all children are bullied at some point during their school years and more than 10% of those are bullied regularly. I myself was bullied for many years and I can't begin to tell you how that has affected me but I want you to know that it does get better eventually. 

What is bullying?

Bullying is unwanted, aggressive behaviour that is repeated or has the potential to be repeated over time. It includes making threats, spreading rumours, attacking somebody verbally or physically, excluding somebody from a group on purpose among other things.

What are the different types of bullying?

Verbal bullying - name calling, being threatened, being made to feel bad

Physical bullying - being hit, punched, pushed, having items stolen or any other form of physical/aggressive contact

Social bullying - left out of games and left out of gatherings on purpose, being deliberately ignored, having rumours spread about you, being made to feel like an outsider

Cyber - bullied through chat rooms, instant messaging, through emails or via a mobile phone

How can I tell if somebody is being bullied?

- Individual becomes more quiet/sad/dejected

- Displays unexpected anger or frustration 

- Avoids sharing a certain topic

- Change in behaviour (more secretive)

- Unexplained injuries (cuts/bruises etc)

- Often losing things they take to school

- Skipping lessons or school altogether 

- Damaged clothes, books or possessions

People are bullied for a whole different manner of reasons. From their gender identity, culture, race or religion to their sexuality, disability, interests and their appearance. Surveys in schools (as of 2013) have shown that people are most likely to be bullied due to their appearance. 

Here are 10 facts for you to put into perspective how much of a serious subject bullying is.

1) Research has shown that 60% of boys who bullied others from aged 7 - 15 were convicted of at least one crime by the age of 24 and 40% had three more convictions by that age.

2) Academically gifted students, especially those with high verbal aptitude, are often bullied and more likely to suffer emotionally than 'less gifted' students

3) 1/10 students drop out of school due to being bullied

4) 57% of students who experience harassment in school never report it to a member of staff

5) Young people with disabilities or from sexual minorities are most at risk of bullying

6) Up to 69% of young people will experience bullying

7) Appearance and interests are found to be the biggest targets for playground taunts

8) 43% are verbally bullied frequently, 16% are physically bullied frequently and 21% are bullied online frequently

9) 16% said it has had a huge affect on their studies, 17% said it has had a huge impact their home lives, 30% said it has had a huge impact on their social lives, 38% said it has had a huge affect on their self esteem and 30% said it has reduced their optimism

10) 25% said that it has caused them to have suicidal thoughts, 24% have said it has caused them to self harm and 57% were not happy at all with the support available to them

Bullying isn't a joke and it certainly isn't a subject to be taken lightly. I know so many people who have been bullied who are struggling with them demons now after the bullying has stopped. The constant name calling and being made to feel like crap really does give your self confidence/self esteem a battering. 

Bullying affects every single aspect of your life. From your relationships with your family and friends to your school work. But I think it affects your self esteem the most. 
For me, I found it incredibly hard to function. I feared leaving my house and going to school, I was scared to go anywhere outside of my house by myself and I pushed everybody away from me. 

It can make you feel hurt, scared, worthless and lonely among other things, but always know that you aren't alone. If you (or somebody you know for that matter of fact) is being bullied, there are ways of stopping it. 

1) The most important thing for you to do is to tell somebody. Whether that's a parent, teacher or school counsellor. There is no way that you should have to deal with the bully alone.

2) Avoid the bully. Obviously you'll have to carry on with your normal routine in terms of school etc, but if you can avoid the situations where the bully typically picks on you, it will make a huge difference. For example: if he/she usually picks on you on the way home, change your route or get somebody to meet you/go with you.

3) Be brave. Even though you're probably feeling like absolute poo on the inside, show the bully that you don't care. If they think it hasn't had any affect on you, they'll most likely give up. Don't be emotional either. It's going to be hard, but if you feel like crying when they're being horrible just wait until you're alone or with a close friend before you have a little weep.

4) Don't fight back. Stooping to their level will give the bully exactly what they're looking for... a reaction. Stand your ground but don't be antagonistic.

5) Stay with friends. If you stick with a friend or a group of friends whenever you think you might bump into the bully they're less likely to target you. Safety in numbers and all that jazz! 

I can honestly tell you that it does get better eventually.

I've not been bullied for near enough two whole years now, purely down to the fact that I spoke up about it. 

I do occasionally get nasty messages via Tumblr but instead of responding to them I just delete them and try to take no notice. 

Some days are harder than others but as time goes on you'll feel so much better about life in general. 

I promise you.

Psoriasis!

Hey there lovelies. This post is going to be a bit personal, I hope you don't mind!

So, recently I've had quite a stressful time and if you have Psoriasis you'll know how much of a bad thing this is! My Psoriasis has flared up, which isn't just irritating and itchy, it's also very embarrassing.
I've had this skin condition since I was 4 years old and it was passed down in my genes from my father.

What annoys me is people seem to think it's contagious! No, you couldn't be more wrong. It can't be caught by person-to-person contact, by sharing of bodily fluids (kissing or during sex) nor sharing food or drink. It's basically caused by certain changes in the immune system. People with psoriasis something triggers the 'T cells' to become overactive, causing the rapid growth of skin cells. It's ind of like when you hurt yourself and cells rush to the surface of your skin to form a scab. This is why people with Psoriasis usually have flaky patches on their skin (problem areas being scalp, knees, elbows) but it can be anywhere on an individuals body!

People go through phases of their Psoriasis being incredibly bad and then it not being as noticeable. Usually it's worse in the winter (well, for me it is anyway). 1.8 million people in the UK have it alone, therefore meaning it's more common that you'd first think! 

Although tests have shown that Psoriasis is usually passed down through genetic coding, it doesn't always mean that someone will inherit it if their parent/grandparent has it (meaning it's a recessive gene, fun fact for you right there if you're studying B1 in science ;))

Some things that trigger Psoriasis:
- puberty
- skin injuries
- emotional stress
- certain medicines

Psoriasis can't be cured, although it can be treated. I've tried so many different creams for my Psoriasis and I'm pleased to say it's not too bad at the moment! 

My evening routine:
- Run hot bath
- Add a cap full of Oilatum into my bath
- Use a 'soap  free' shower gel or body wash (Sanex or Simple are fab examples of this)
- Dry self thoroughly when out of the bath
- Moisturise all over with E45 cream
- Leave it to soak in
- Use a thin later of hydrocortisone cream on any problem areas! 

I use a Sanex deodorant - they do a fantastic range and they all smell lovely!

As for shampoo and conditioner, I tend to use Head & Shoulders as my scalp isn't too bad, but when it does get really bad I like to use Nizoral as it works wonders! 

Two tips I find useful are:
- Getting out in the sun as much as possible. Vitamin D works wonders for your skin, helps Psoriasis and also makes you feel good about yourself! Even though you may feel a bit embarrassed getting down to your underwear or bikini or swimsuit it will be worth it in the long run, and you can always find a place on the beach where there's not many people.
- Also drinking a lot of water hydrates your skin, meaning it's less flaky and dry in the long run. Water works wonders for your skin even if you don't have Psoriasis.

Do you have Psoriasis or know someone with Psorasis?
