If This Is A RomCom, Kill The Director

Sorry for not updating in a while. Nothing has really been happening.

I've had a lot of work to do though. Sometimes I wonder if teachers conspire against the students to make sure that all of our classes have big projects due on the same day.

Anyway, I said I'd post a picture or two from Halloween, so here you go:

I went as 'Sarah Palin, Beauty Pageant Queen'. (Don't ask me what I'm doing in the picture, I have no idea...I think Paula caught me while switching poses...)

It's not the best costume ever, but I didn't have much to work with.

Also, I really just wanted an excuse to wear the dress since I'm totally and completely in love with how hideous it is.
Paula and I went to Proud Gallery (a tiny little art gallery in London that specializes in pictures of rock stars) to see this band Envy and Other Sins. It was really, really fun.

Fast forward to today, I went to yet another concert.

This time, I went to see this band The Wombats. They're definitely one of my very favourite bands, and Caleb was nice enough to buy me tickets to see them for my birthday (thank you, Caleb!)

The show was AMAZING.

I didn't like the opening bands very much (I didn't arrive in time to see the first one, but the second one had way too much screaming for my tastes) however the Wombats were awesome.

We didn't end up being very close since we had to sit in the balcony, but it was okay. I still really enjoyed the show.

Afterward, we got some chips (aka french fries) and then waited outside the backstage door until they came out.

The girl I was there with couldn't hang around, so I ended up joining up with some girls that I had just met that evening. Don't worry, they were nice/not creepy.

First out was Dan, The Wombats' drummer. The very first thing that he said to us was that he liked my purse, which was really sweet of him.

Sorry that it's a bit blurry, I forgot that the flash was off and he was in a hurry to go so I couldn't retake it. But that's okay. I still like the picture a lot!

We waited around a bit more. I saw a guy walk by from in front of the building who looked an awful lot like the Wombats' bassist, Tord, but I didn't think it was him since he didn't come out the backstage door. I found out a bit later that it was him, which made me sad that I missed him, but that's okay.

Also, I met a girl who apparently works for the Wombats or something. She asked where I got my scarf and I told her that I had knitted it. We had a nice chat about yarn and knitting and she said she had asked me where I got my scarf because she wanted to make a cardigan for one of the Wombats (she was more specific, but I didn't quite catch the name) and she couldn't find yarn that she thought was soft enough, but she thought the yarn I used would be (which really, it would. It's so very soft and warm...) So I thought that was pleasant.

Finally, we decide that instead of waiting for Murph (the lead singer) at the backstage door and missing him, we're going to stand on the corner where we can see both the front doors and the backstage door in case he, like Tord, decides to use that one instead.

Of course, he uses the backstage door and he's halfway down the block before I notice that he's walking away (I never would have noticed if not for the fact that his hair is just really, really massive and sticks out from a crowd a lot.) So we decide to run after him, but manage to slow down in time to approach him semi-casually so as not to make him think we're crazy fangirls.

He too was quite sweet, even though we chased him down and were actually about half a block from the venue by the time we found him. So good on him for being so nice/not creeped out about it.

After we met him, I hurried to the tube station and was VERY lucky that I managed to make the last train home (I was JUST in time too.)

I didn't feel like paying for a taxi (though I made sure I had enough money for one) and I was too tired to figure out the nightbus system.

Overall, a very lovely night :)
