Sooo, no Blog yesterday, but I just couldn't be bothered cause I was just way too hungover to even move or EAT, which should be proof enough of how bad my condition was!! ;)
How that could happen?!
Well, since some of you where nice enough to "like" my short story I sent in for this competition on facebook, I apparently came second and they put my name on the guestlist. So when I went there to collect my ticket I was also given a wristband for the after show, sooo cool! The show was at Shepherd's Bush Empire in London, which is a great venue, really beautiful old theater with loads of Jugendstil ornaments on the balconies. And there I was standing in the crowd and decided that if I could go see a gig all by myself, I might aswell get drunk all by myself (in public), so I got a pint and then a good spot to see and enjoyed the support acts, which were great! Brigitte Aphrodite, I adored you!!! (You should really check her out at myspace, sooo good!!!)
And Kate's show afterwards was AMAZING, she totally smashed us, the crowd just went mad, singin along every single word of almost all the songs, I've never seen anything like that before!!!
Unfortunately they had closed down the bar by the end of the gig and the merch was sold out of records, so I just went upstairs for the aftershow with a quick side trip to the toilet, where I met so many nice girls discussing those festival panties for girls they make now. Having arrived at the party, I got myself another drink and decided that I might aswell start talking to people instead of hanging out all by myself...Everyody was really lovely, but after a while I found out that I definetly was the only person at the party that wasn't in one way or the other related to or friends with any of the band an crew members (I mean if they've given me a wristband they must've given one to a million other people...well, apparently not), shit, that was embarassing and made me feel slightly uncomfortable!! But since I was there, I thought I should have a good time, kept talking to everybody and got to know some family members of the band who happend to be from the Bournemouth area and were nice enough to buy me a drink and introduce me to EVERYBODY which made me feel even more uncomfortable! I guess Kate wasn't too pleased when I came up to her to ask for a picture and looked at me a little baffled because she probably didn't expect anybody else but friends and family to hang out at her party...but she was really polite, allthough I thought she was slightly annoyed by my presence, but I can't blame her!
I assumed since they had given me one, there'd be probably a million other people that got one, apparently I was wrong! 
(Please ignore the fact that I look totally horrible in this picture)
Oh well, so I just waned to go back and say bye to my new friends and thank them for the drink when they introduced me to some more people and bought me another drink, which I thought was sooo nice! Then Kate ended up coming over to talk to them and looked at me wuite irritated for still hanging around and then I said something like "I just wanted to tell you that I'm not some sort of stupid groupie anging around, I sent in a short story and when I got here tonight, they gave me this wristband and since they closed the bar downstairs, I thought I might aswell come up and check out what's going on blablabla" OH MY GOD, I made a total fool of myself and everytime I think about it I get embarrassed all over again!! =(
Oh dear, oh dear...
Oh dear, oh dear...
When I got back to the hostel eventually it was around half one and I guess my room mates weren't too happy about me coming in that late and then again after 3 hours of lying around trying unsuccessfully to sleep, getting up again. Geeez, I was feeling horrible when I got up and getting dressed in the toilet because I couldn't find the bathroom didn't make it any better, but since I had to work that day I had to get going...So I got a cab, bought myself some breakfast which I couldn't either smell nor eat, got on my train at 5,30 back to Bournemouth, was nearly sick at the train several times, got another taxi to the hospital and arrived just in time for the wardround at 8, yay! Haven't felt that bad in quite a while but it was absolutely worth it!!!
