Smacked in the face by a Rockstar
This entry was posted on June 1, 2008
This past weekend was spent in the far north of England, more commonly known as Birmingham. On Friday I spent the afternoon in Telford (after being told by my Dentist that I need to brush my teeth more). I met up with two e-friends, Jem and Sarah.
Telford is a very odd town. There are way more chavs than I’m used to (which is really saying something!), but on the plus side, there was a park! I went on a slide and got sand in my shoes. That was awesome. At first I was worried because the sign said “Over 8s only”. But when I realised there wasn’t a stated upper age limit (I’m 20), I dived right in there.
Of course, the slide was built for pre-teens, because I banged my head at least once. I also got stuck on one of the slides a few times, what with my hips being wider than those of a 9-year-old. Still though, I had fun. I even went on some bumper cars!
Saturday “day” was spent wandering the streets of Birmingham, and Saturday night was spent at the Academy 2 watching Cute Is What We Aim For. They were doing a “co-headline” tour with Boys Like Girls, but I was only there to see CIWWAF.
Shaant (lead singer) promised to meet everyone who wanted to meet him, and he held his promise. He came out after the show, hugged everyone, signed stuff, took pictures… and (accidentally) smacked me in the face. He did apologise though, and he squeezed my shoulder and asked me if I was okay.
Fun times!

5 apps I can’t live without

Sarah was tagged and I stole this from her. Here below you can find a screenshot of my desktop, as well as a list of 5 applications I cannot live without!
I am a music addict! iTunes supplies me with all my music, videos, and podcasts. I have an ipod mini, and ipod shuffle, an ipod nano, and I love all three of them! I’ve never liked Windows Media Player, but I’m glad to say that iTunes does more than a brilliant job of replacing it.
In modern times you can customise pretty much everything. With Firefox, you can now customise your web browser. I use a theme which makes Firefox look like it belongs on Vista (I was fed up with it looking out of place on my new laptop), and I use various add-ons to help with my web developing. Oh, there’s also an add-on which will let you control iTunes.
This program has been a lifesaver! It’ll batch-resize, crop, tag, and rename pictures for you. Perfect when making thumbnails or renaming pictures from “SSL24150″ to “duck1″. I really do recommend it to everyone. Plus it’s free and that’s rarely a bad thing…
GIMP and Notepad++. I’ve covered these before, though, so I won’t go into them again. This just shows how much I love them though!
