freewheelinotter | the stars are out tonight and you’re the brightest one shining in my sky |

So I was cool and did the “How Chav R U?” test and first question - Have you ever purchased something from Co-op, Iceland or Hyper Value? Think was a bit unfair seeing as I work in a Co-op and now seeing as I’m a student don’t have much choice to where I can shop so frozen food is bought from Iceland and other crap from Tescos next door. Never mind.

Results:

Not too bad lol

So I’ve finally got my bright and shiny 12″ PowerBook - is so great I’m not used to this amount of speed due to using my dying iMac for what seems like forever.

Took me about an hour to copy all my music, photos, desktop pictures, ical calenders, documents…well you get the idea lol.

Currently it’s special place is my desk in my room. And the desk hasnt been cleared since I finished college about 3 months ago. But as soon as I found this was the best wireless spot, well all the crap found new homes.

Looks like this site might be starting to get a few more (random and crap) posts

Well I braved the trains last night after work to go down to Portsmouth/Southsea and watch the so-called biggest fireworks display ever. So yeah, after have sprinting to Fareham train station to find the train I was aiming for was delayed anyway, I manged to get to Portsmouth. My god, never seen so many people in my life before. Think that was about 8:30…met up with everyone and we ended up walking the whole of Southsea seafront. Our aim, to find a spot to see the sea. Realistically, we needed to be there at like 8 am. So we ended up at the War Memorial after queuing for food for like half an hour.

However, the fireworks were awesome - it has to be said. I didn’t realise beforehand that they were set out to go with the whole story of Nelson’s death and the battle. Thought it was just a show. But it worked out pretty cool. But the smiley face firework had to be the best out of the lot. Was so cool. Shame I didn’t get photo though.

And then, about 11:30 when I reached the entrance to Gunwarf car park to find about 3,000 people trying to get into the train station, I gave in and was defeated. So ended up walking all the way back to town to stay at Jamie’s…interesting account of the night I think

Woo i’m free…free as a bird. Can’t believe they’re all over now. 3 months of nothingness…ok so I’m working but tecnically free. It’s so cool =D I don’t have to feel guilty anymore when I go on the computer or watch a bit of t.v. - loving it!

Woo! I can’t believe it’s the last day before I finish my exams - so excited Got so much planned for the summer as well so bring on 3 months of greatness. So glad I finish tomorrow and not Tuesday with the whole “Fleet Review” going on (anyone reading this i.e. Rachel…good luck lol). Yes, lets bring the Royal Family into Portsmouth plus 35 or whatever Navys and fly 350 planes around the island whilst the Queen looks at all the ships there…oh and why we’re at it, we may as well fire a few cannons..whilst! exams are still taking place all over the island…gits.

Ah well…as I was saying - can’t wait

So the big news lately is the 2005 edition of Live Aid Live 8 in Hyde park on the first weekend of July ready for the G8 summit. Rumors been flying around for ages now…I mean, good old Bob Geldof didn’t have to go as far as saying “Over my f**king dead body” now, he could have just said “No, there isn’t one happening” - guess that’s the Irish for you

The line-up seems pretty cool in Hyde Park, looks as though Bob gave up trying to get decent bands to the venues in Europe though. Poor old Craig David alone in Paris - awww! Meh.

So in random order we have:

Bob Geldof: Funny that really seeing as he is kinda behind most of this. I’m sure we’ll get a nice remminition of “I Hate Mondays” at some point during the gig and lots of his Irish “charm” no doubt.

Snow Patrol: Really looking forward to seeing these people (if I get tickets). Liked their album “Final Straw” and I’m thinking we’ll hear the amazing song “Chocolate”. Love it.

The Cure: Bit of an old school band here (or old people..?). Haven’t really heard much of their stuff really but I have one of their songs, “The Lovecats”. They seem like a bit of an excentric band really but hey, can’t judge them without listening to a decent amount of their stuff, and Bob Geldof isn’t exactly seem very mainstream either.

Velvet Revolver: Ok these people seem very old school, judging from their photo they look like they’re an ’80s band. And I’ve never heard any of their stuff at all…never even heard of them before they were announced for this. Guessing more friends of Bob.

REM: This band I have heard of before - crazy if I hadn’t. Would be great to see these guys live. Love the classics such as “The Great Beyond” and “Man On The Moon” so that would be cool.

Robbie Williams: Quite possibly, only a fool would never have heard of this guy - a real entertainer (poser). Although I’m not really into his stuff, ok, so I have a lot of his songs I wouldn’t mind seeing him live from seeing clips off tv. I’m guessing they’ll be a lot of his big songs like “Angels” and “Let Me Entertain You”.

U2: This band kinda had to be there. They put a lot into the Make Poverty History campaign and I’m thinking Bono and Bob are like that. Would be good to see them perform the greatest song they have made “Greatest Day” but “Vertigo” would be cool too, but apart from that, not really into their stuff too much.

Sting: Hmmm…can’t say I enjoy his stuff really. But again, barely heard any of it, well I can’t even think of one of his songs but I’m sure there are some good ones that I’ve heard but not known. Guess he could be good.

Annie Lennox: Never heard any of this person’s stuff…never heard of this person so um yeah…she seems a bit strange though.

Stereophonnics: Would love to see these people - love their stuff and have like a billion of their albums (ok so maybe not that many but still. I’m sure they’ll play their new song “Dakota” which is pretty amazing but I hope they play “The Bartender And The Thief”.

Coldplay: The almighty Coldplay are playing - doesn’t suprise me really cos Chris Martin is very big up anti-poverty. But they seem a bit depressive to watch. I mean, their “Scientist” song is good and all, but a bit suicidal after a bit.

Snoop Dogg: Hmmmm…well fair enough if he wants to be here. Can’t say I’m into his stuff though but I’m sure out of the 150,000 people there, there’ll be at least 1 fan lol.

Dido: I kinda like her stuff - except I think she gets a bit depressive after awhile too. Guess she’ll probably play that hit..”White Flag” - is pretty good though.

Scissor Sisters: Woo! These people’s music rocks..but the people don’t so much. Saw them on TV at some awards show awhile back and they seem pretty arrogent tbh. But hey, their music is awesome. Most likely they’ll play “Laura”, “Filthy/Gorgeous” and “Take Your Mama Out”. But would be cool to hear “Music Is The Victim”.

Elton John: Well I dunno about this guy, can’t really say I’m a fan but I don’t dislike his stuff. Liking his song with 2Pac at the mo though (Ghetto Gospel). Ah well, shall see.

Not sure how long this has been news but I saw the trailer for The Da Vinci Code film due out next summer (as in 2006). Apparently it has Tom Hanks in it along with other stars but would it make a good film? I’d always thought that books should stay as books as they’re usually crap as film. Ruins the immagination and it’s the directors immagination the film’s based around usually. It’s like the Harry Potter films. I go and see them but I have yet to come out feeling that it was a good representation of the books. Usually there’s massive chunks missing, the bits are wrong or not what’s in the book or just plan crap. So I’ll probably go see this but I suppose I’m very sceptical of this too.

Results from this “quiz” thing which I found at somefool. You just select your opinion on main policies that parties are focusing on this time around. I know I’m not eligable to vote yet but just thought I’d see what I ’should’ vote for if I could.

The Green Party, which is of course strong on environmental issues, takes a strong position on welfare issues, but was firmly against the war in Iraq. Other key concerns are cannabis, where the party takes a liberal line, and foxhunting, which unsurprisingly the Greens are firmly against.

Agh! Only 6 weeks until I start my last lot of secondary education examinations. Such a short amount of time- and such a lot to know and learn. So by default that means I only have about 12 weeks before I’m free. Oh the crazyness of it all.
