i feel like writing a blog, but i have no clue what to write about! lol
okay...err
ohh okay. hows about this: i AM SO HAPPY :) lol...here's a list why
1. GOD (!)
2. the boy
3. america
4. coldplay
5. kidneys
i guess i should explain why i put kidneys down on the list lol. havent been feelin well for weeks now, but on friday night it really kicked off. i was soo scared about going to the docs, and scared that it wouldnt be a diagnosable thing, that i would just have to stick it out both here and in america :s but it is a kidney thing! and i got tablets! and its getting better :) yeoooo!
the coldplay album is out of this world. a friend told me last night that all coldplays stuff sounds the same. no flippin way! have you heard viva la vida?! its the most amazing thing ever lol. possibly my favourite one of their albums yet...well it and parachutes. i love parachutes. what an amazing first album like! okay heres the list right now. i guess this will have to be updated once ive listened to viva la vida for a while...
1. viva la vida or death and all his friends
2. parachutes
3. X+Y
4. a rush of blood to the head
my favourite track on the album is "death and all his friends". go check it out on youtube or something. that song makes me want to cry lol its such an emotional song. the piano bit with chris and the wee bit of electric guitar in the background creates a gorgeous atmosphere. the melody of that wee start section is beautiful. i could listen to it all day lol. and then when it leads into a wee rocky bit, with an awesome bass line, which just makes you want to dance! and then after that, there is a really beautiful coldplay-esque section, with that really clean sound that was so prevailent on X+Y. the track ends with an extract from the first track on the album - life in technicolor. i dont particularly like this bit in comparison with the rest of the track, but i feel that it creates a lovely ending to the album. playing the album as it is without skipping tracks or fast forwarding or anything, it reminds me of an oratorio. dont ask why, it just does lol. if it were to be performed in that way, as a big musical work, i think the ending part on death and all his friends would be perfect to round off the performance. the album itself is so varied, and is quite unlike any of coldplays previous songs. thats what i think anyways. for those of you who might have stumbled across this and have heard viva la vida, give me your opinion!
anyways, thats my wee musical rant over lol. i have more thoughts to process on the album, so ill probably be back with some sort of opinion on different songs.
goodbye!

stuff
well i havent posted a blog in a while so i thought i would :)
the strangest thing happened yesterday...i sat in my living room last night and watched 20 minutes of "the greatest movie love songs of all time" on The Hits. more than that though, i liked it :s i even went onto itunes and bought one of the songs ("There you'll be" - Faith Hill). whats wrong with me?! a while back i wouldnt touch love songs with a 10 foot pole! oh well, maybe it's just a phase
exams exams exams...they suckk! ive got through 2 so far, and they went okay! ill just have to wait until the results come back i guess :s yikes! well i have 3 more to go - RE, and 2 ICT exams. not so bad, considering some people have about 6 still to go! dropping english was the best decision i have ever made lol
Church...yesterday i thought it was great, the worship for me was very intimate. i guess its gonna be different for everybody, but that was my take on yesterday anyways. Colin preached a killer sermon again, and (again) it felt like he was just sitting talking to me one on one in a room! God is using that man something serious, and it's class!
AMERICA! i cant wait. i seriously cant wait. although im gonna miss the northern irish weather (yes i said it lol...im soo scared that i wont be able to stick the heat in america!) and im gonna miss TSYB and church and my house and my room and stuart..i guess to a certain extent ill miss my family too, but then again i have never been away for a whole month so ill probably miss them more than anything lol. this is my first proper holiday - ill be away for the longest time ive ever been, and ill be the furthest away i have ever been too. me and my host teen ali are getting on really well, she reminds me of me a bit and her family seem really cool. thats one of the things im most looking forward to - getting to know ali better :) oh and i cant wait for the plane journey, i love flying soo much..but apparently 8 hours in a plane gets boring lol. i think ill manage fine, ill have my ipod with the best music ever on it. thats all i need to get through 8 hours of boredom lol
anyways, i had better go, i think the simple life is coming on soon :) whooooo
