Bonjourno to all of you lovelies who take the time to read this.
So here I am at blog.co.uk. Not sure how successful this is gonna be. I'm really bad at keeping up with these things. I tried a livejournal before but I couldn't really get into it. I dunno. Maybe this one will be different? We shall see.
I'll be honest (lucky you). It's not just that I'm bad at these things. I also only ever tend to write in them when I'm going through some angsty, infuriating, emotional, tragic period. So if you only ever get to hear the Little Miss Drama side of me from now on, just know that in person, I'm usually pretty chilled. I did try to get into songwriting to vent my *list of negative emotions*. But I don't know. Something doesn't click, and I feel like the words I write don't reflect truly on how I'm feeling, and if they do, to everybody else they just sound like a big cheesefest. So I'll let the songwriting lie for the time being, and let my dreams of being the next Hayley Williams hibernate for a while.
So yeah!
I don't know if I can get like a profile on here .. I'm new to this so I kinda rushed into writing the first blog without really checking out the rest of the site. But quick intro's. My name is Lucy and I'm currently 17, (roll on April 26th for the big one eight!) Yeah I live in a city called Derby. It's pretty big I guess but I live in a village that makes up part of Derby. I like it here. If I walk for half an hour I end up surrounded by sheep, fields, trees and possibly a river. If I get the 20 minute bus journey, I'm in the city center. It's pretty rad living somewhere that diverse. Although to be fair, the last time I frollocked in a field with the sheep (ooer . .) and river and was "at one with nature" . .well. That never happened so I don't know. Maybe I'm more of a city girl at heart.
I love live music, and am (worryingly) obsessed with Paramore. I every last one of them. I tried to do this whole metalhead image for a while, pretending I was into bands I wasn't, but I just couldn't pull it off. Don't get me wrong, I'll give any genre of music a listen, but I'd say I'm probably a punk rock chick. Paramore, Sugarcult, Social Code, New Found Glory, Jimmy Eat World, You Me At Six, Consort With Romeo, Bowling For Soup & The Offspring . .It's all about the happy music man. I love it when I'm stood at the bus stop at 7.30am setting off for college, and I have my ipod, some crappy glossy magazine with free shampoo samples and I have a bit of misery business, the rock show, failures not flattering, 1985 or whatever it is playing, and it just makes me feel like the rest of the day will go according to plan. I like to feel confident.
That's one thing about me I've never really got to put down in words before. I'm weird. Or maybe I'm not I don't know? Maybe some of you feel like this. I feel like I have two personalitys sometimes. Sometimes I'll be really shy and quiet, and I'll go into a shop/restaurant/library and I won't even have the confidence to go up to a member of staff to ask questions. And yet other days, I don't even think about it. On those days, I'll converse with anybody, make a fool out of myself by joking around and all the rest. I love those days. I don't know. Maybe it's two conflicting genetics. It would make sense. My dad's really shy and my mums filled with confidence and is to be honest, rather loud.
Another thing about me. I adore tattoos. But not huge, obvious ones. I like them to be unique and in places other people don't have them. I've had a huge star tattoo on my right foot for a couple of years (before everybody else jumped on the star on foot band wagon!), and just recently, like a week ago got two ribbons, one at the bottom of each leg. They'll look really pretty when they heal ![]()
Ooof. It's 10:45pm, I'm kinda tired and I have to be up at 6:10.
I think I'll finish this entry up tomorrow.
Night guys x
