Midweek Blues , Valentines , Bowman

Current mood: annoyed

 

Hope you all like my "Nan, You're a Window Shopper" 50 cent p*** take ............

 

What a $h!t week eh? As if Mondays arent c**p enough as it is, when they're followed by valentines day it makes things so much worse. Obviously the only thing to do in these situations is to go out with the girls , eat steak and get well pissed on pink champagne, which makes Wednesday a write off . Especially when you havent got curtains like I dont, and the only thing that blocks out the light is last nights mascara clogging up in my eye , the last thing one needs when experiencing a hangover such as this , is to be rudely awoken by the radio and that trollpe Edith Bowman warbling on about how she is just BESTEST friends with just about anyone, so long as they are in a band and preferably wearing skinny jeans and stripey cardigans , and how the magic numbers are just absolutely brilliiant, AGAIN (f*** off you silly cow). At least the weathers good innit ?

Figure Skating , Lamb Kofta , FLU BUG

Current mood: blah

 

Hello people , well this week has been an interesting one so far . Monday was spent being really quite hysterical when the grim reality of being single hit me , and hard ..... Apologies to Seb my darling ex boyfriend for having to put up with teary phonecalls every half an hour, desperately begging him to take me back , in retrospect I think this happened cause I'm not used to spending the weekends alone ,and I was recovering. Anyway things picked up by tuesday , nothing like a few meetings with music industry heads to destroy whats left of the creative juices running around in my brain , still, at least I have something to do in the daytime , and as im now getting paid I can refer to it as my job , EXCELLENT . I went home and made a carb free dinner , Lamb meatballs (freshly made from scratch) with hummus , grilled halloumi, tomato avocado and spinach salad , oh and grated cucumber with yoghurt , well posh i know , a sort of meze plate for one . Setteled down for Eastenders followed by The figure skating , I love the winter olympics, they should do it every year, I love the sparkly costumes and i love the ski jumping with the sommersaults , I also like the curling a bit , I like falling asleep to the curling , and now im boyfriendless I cant sleep without the tele on , curling is perfect for helping me sleep . Wednesday I wake up at noon, seems I'm in NME ! Yes tis true , though they did compare me to Lady Sovereign which is not great . next stop the world please , Im starting to think about " My sEcOND MiXtapE " and which tunes I shall be putting on it which is quite exciting , but before i get too excited i feel a fever coming on , FLU people FLU . Scrap the rest of the week , get out the twin peaks dvds , the 4th series of 24 and SWEAT IT OUT .

till next week

Blog in the game , right about now .

Current mood: cranky

 

Hello , as I sit here watching 24 (which is SO BIG by the way) I will tell you a little about my week, which was quite uneventful actually . Monday and tuesday were spent in the studio in Brixton , I wrote a song about myspace , which is quite funny , I will put it up when its done.

I went to see that film Kidulthood on Wednesday , which was alright , the afterparty was pretty funny though , a strange mixture of Indie kids and grime heads who are mostly into the Rakes and Jamie T but are "really feeling that new Lethal Bizzle track ,yeah ". Mustn't take the p*** , each to their own , we are the future and all that . Anyway after that I went back to my mates house and played BUZZ ( a music trivia game for playstation ) till 6 in the mownin . Thursday - WRITE OFF . And on Friday I went BOwling and drinking and drinking ( which has to stop )

 

I had a lovely weekend with my Old Man , we went to watch Fulham get smashed by the dirt dirty gooners 4-0 , i insisted we left at half time when we were 2-0 down to avoid further embarrasment and we then drove down to Stroud wher he lives , his new missus cooked us meatballs for dinner , which were lovely and cheered me up , shes actually really nice , which I wasn'nt expecting , we drank Cider which has to be done while in the west country , actully come to think about it Cider drinking should be made compulsory throughout the UK , infact maybe cider drinking should become part of the New citizienship test thing that seems to be happening , or maybe I made it up . Then we watched Pony Blair big up G.O.D on Parkinson , which made me sick , really sick and of course that whole thing wasn't orchestrated to deflect attention away from the Tessa Jowell scandal , the state of politics in this country needs to be looked at , STANDARD . I stayed up till 2 to watch the Calzhage -Lacy fight , Joe , you are the don of the world , amazing fight 41 fights unbeaten , stick that in your Yank pipe and smoke it all the way home Lacy , ha ha ha ...........

Sunday , Roast , nuff said .

till next time

I aint no nomber , don't need no ID round my neck

Current mood: distressed

 

You may have heard that legislation creating compulsory ID Cards passed a crucial stage in the House of Commons. You may feel that ID cards are not something to worry about, since we already have Photo ID for our Passport and Driving License and an ID Card will be no different to that.

 

What you have not been told is the full scope of this proposed ID Card, and what it will mean to you personally.

 

The proposed ID Card will be different from any card you now hold. It will be connected to a database called the NIR, (National Identity Register) where all of your personal details will be stored. This will include the unique number that will be issued to you, your fingerprints, a scan of the back of your eye, and your photograph. Your name, address and date of birth will also obviously be stored there.

 

There will be spaces on this database for your religion, residence status and many other private and personal facts about you. There is unlimited space for every other details of your life on the NIR database, which can be expanded by the Government with or without further Acts of Parliament.

 

By itself, you might think that this register is harmless, but you would be wrong to come to this conclusion. This new card will be used to check your identity against your entry in the register in real time, whenever you present it to 'prove who you are'.

 

Every place that sells alcohol or cigarettes, every post office, every chemist, and every Bank will have an NIR Card Terminal, (very much like the Chip and Pin Readers that are everywhere now) into which your card can be 'swiped' to check your identity. Each time this happens, a record is made at the NIR of the time and place that the Card was presented. This means for example, that there will be a government record of every time you withdraw more than £99 at your branch of Nat West, who now demand ID for these transactions. Every time you have to prove that you are over 18, your card will be swiped, and a record made at the NIR. Restaurants and off licences will demand that your card is swiped so that each receipt shows that they sold alcohol to someone over 18, and that this was proved by the

access to the NIR, indemnifying them from prosecution.

 

Private businesses are going to be given access to the NIR Database. If you want to apply for a job, you will have to present your card for a swipe.

 

If you want to apply for a London Underground Oyster Card,or a supermarket loyalty card, or a driving licence you will have to present your ID Card for a swipe. The same goes for getting a telephone line or a mobile phone or an internet account.

 

Oyster, DVLA, BT and Nectar (for example) all run very detailed databases of their own. They will be allowed access to the NIR, just as every other business will be. This means that each of these entities will be able to store your unique number in their database, and place all your travel, phone records, driving activities and detailed shopping habits under your unique NIR number. These databases, which can easily fit on a storage device the size of your hand, will be sold to third parties either legally or illegally. It will then be possible for a non governmental entity to create a detailed dossier of all your activities.

 

Certainly, the government will have clandestine access to all of them, meaning that they will have a complete record of all your movements, from how much and when you withdraw from your bank account to what medications you are taking, down to the level of what sort of bread you eat - all accessible via a single unique number in a central database.

 

This is quite a significant leap from a simple ID Card that shows your name and face.

 

Most people do not know that this is the true character and scope of the proposed ID Card. Whenever the details of how it will work are explained to them, they quickly change from being ambivalent towards it.

 

The Government is going to COMPEL you to enter your details into the NIR and to carry this card. If you and your children want to obtain or renew your passports, you will be forced to have your fingerprints taken and your eyes scanned for the NIR, and an ID Card will be issued to you whether you want one or not. If you refuse to be fingerprinted and eye scanned, you will not

be able to get a passport.

 

Your ID Card will, just like your passport, not be your property. The Home Secretary will have the right to revoke or suspend your ID at any time, meaning that you will not be able to withdraw money from your Bank Account, for example, or do anything that requires you to present your government issued ID Card.

 

The arguments that have been put forwarded in favour of ID Cards can be easily disproved. ID Cards WILL NOT stop terrorists; every Spaniard has a compulsory ID Card as did the Madrid Bombers. ID Cards will not 'eliminate benefit fraud', which in comparison, is small compared to the astronomical cost of this proposal, which will be measured in billions according to the

LSE (London School of Economics). This scheme exists solely to exert total surveillance and control over the ordinary free British Citizen, and it will line the pockets of the companies that will create the computer systems at the expense of your freedom, privacy and money.

 

If you did not know the full scope of the proposed ID Card Scheme before and you are as unsettled as I am at what it really means to you, to this country and its way of life, I urge you to email or photocopy this and give it to your friends and colleagues and everyone else you think should know and who cares. The Bill has proceeded to this stage due to the lack of accurate and complete information on this proposal being made public.

 

We can inform the entire nation if everyone who reads this passes it on.

YO, Roasting , vocals , new mixtape , pack .

Current mood: devious

 

Eassssssy , things are looking up in lilyland right about now so sit back, reeelax and let me share the past week with you . Sunday was very civilised , I made a roast chicken for my mates Ben and Daniel aka P Unit and our friend Gunther Kentish , not only did I make a roast but I got up well early and walked to the organic market to get the supplies , its definitely a very particular crowd at the Islington organic farmers market in the playground of William Tydales Primary School . I think I misjudged my outfit though , the people dem were not feeling my bright red nike cotton fleece tacksuit,infact i think they were a bit scared , it was more of a cashmere jumper , barbour jacket , jeans and loafers affair ( not a look i rep, especially at 9am on a sunday, anyway ). So I cooked chicken , roast potatoes , mashed swede, fried cabbage and bacon , oh yeah and honey glazed carrots , followed by chocolate and hazlenut brownies with vanilla icecream . coffee . we spent the rest of the afternoon sitting in front of the fire watching the cricket / football and reading the papers , as I said before very grown up and civilised .

I can't remember what I did on monday and Tuesday , which means I probably spent it on Myspace and looking on ebay for records and trainers .

So Wednesday , was my first day in a posh studio cause we had to redo my vocals from old stuff , I was kinda excited cause for the first time i could smoke in the studio and no one could say $h!t , plus you get free tea and biscuits and proper food , which you can put on the bill, and the label picks it all up , SAFE ! . Safe untill you realise how boring it is re recording songs i wrote two years ago for three days running , so Darren and Tunde if youre reading this , I'm sorry for being $h!tty .

I went to YOYO on thursday night , it was cool , i spose , i got pretty pissed and gave alot of people a hard time , once again I'm SORRY .

Today (friday) on of my lovely managers Ricahrd took me out for a posh lunch , I had Irish stew , which was really yummy , and very St Patricks day , i thought , then I came home and my sister and her friend kate were here being dumb , and driving me up the wall , with their pointless , meaningless conversations and general existance , actaully they were doing nothing wrong, I get easily irritated , and I came to a realisation ,a turning point I think it's time I left home , flee the nest once and for all . I go to LA and New York for a couple of weeks tomorrow so something to look forward to when I get back . My record company bought me this wicked video camera to take with me, so when i figure out how ill put some funny bits up here for you all to laugh at . Oh yeah , my mixtape entitled "My 2'Nd MIxtaPE " is gonna be around in a week or two so look out for bulletins .

Nighty night , ive got to go and pack for my trip . bye

Tony Almeida Dies . The Like are Bitches .

Current mood: lonely

 

What up people ? I am lying in bed in my lovely hotel in LA , I should probably be by the pool but I'm too scared the skinny girls will make fun of me , so ill sit here watching Law and Order and refreshing my myspace page waiting for new messages . Well , what have I got to tell you ? Not much really , It's sunny here , which is nice, but everyone is a freak , their faces don't move cause they've all had so much "work done" . And they're way to friendly , its very insincere , I miss home .

On Monday I went to see my fellow countrymen The Mystery Jets play The Troubador , they were truly amazing , those girls from that band The Like were there , they pissed me off , not just because they are of the female kind and were stealing all my well deserved attention, but because I noticed them taking the p*** out of this woman dancing, they were imitating her and laughing , which I thought was really rude and mean . You'd think that if you were a musician youd be able to appreciate someone expressing themselves through music and dancing . Stupid Bitches . one of thems got a hunchback. ha ha .

Anyway I'm here recording with this guy called Greg , its going well so far , 2 songs in 2 days , yippee , I seem to have got my confidence back , since all you myspacers have been showing me so much support . I got nearly 3000 plays today , which is amazing , largely due , infact totally down to Madame Jo Whiley playing me on Radio 1 , I really am quite overwhelmed by the reception this is all getting , anywaay I've got to get back to Law and Order . Oh and if anyone back home watches 24 , Ive seen the newest episodes , and YOU ARE NOT READY . RIP Tony Almeida ( sorry I couldnt resist it )

bye bye

Lily in NYC

Current mood: blah

 

Hello ,

well what a week , I ve been in LA working on the album , now im in NY , you may have noticed "knock em out " has been replaced by a new song called "everythings just wonderful" on the music player , I know some of you are unhappy about this , but thats the whole point isn't it ? I tease you with something and once you get comfortable , I take it away and the only way you're gonna hear it again is by getting off your lazy arses and going to "a good record shop" near you, and buying the 7" . ha ha . (only joking ish ) . No the real reason I took it down is because I wanted your feedback on the new one , which I made in LA , with this guy Greg Kursten . So far so good . This my space thing really is marvellous .

Seriously though , I'm so glad there are so many of you out there that seem to like all this , unless you are actually just one or two mad people , with multiple personality disorder , gone a bit too far. And i'm sorry if youve sent me a message and I havne't replied . Either i have been busy , my connections been really slow or your message was so boring , I couldn' be bothered , maybe next time write in rhyme and ill write back in rhyme , what fun .

I had a nightmare when I got here to NY , my hotel had cancelled my booking for some reason , and london was asleep , so I was stuck , luckilly my wonderful godparents were here to save me and are lending me the spare room for a few days . Angela and paul , I love you dearly . I'm going to bed now . sorry for the slightly odd rant , I ll probably elete it in the morning . x x

We went record shopping at A1 records NYC this morning , twas an altogether very hippetyhop experience . I'm missing home sooo much . ps check out pete's picture of LDN on my comments .

Thank you pete , I'd say something like " it's so wonderful that my music inspires people to be creative too " but then I'd be a total c**t , like the rest of the boring f***ers in this thing we call music . AAIIGHT . standard . p.s I love being me at the minute .

What A WEEK .

Current mood: ecstatic

 

Whagwan , Firstly , I have to come up with my album title by the end of the week , so any suggestions would be much appreciated .

 

But now for my weekly blog , so , I get back from america on saturday night and get home to find my family had relocated to Manchester for the weekend , thanks for telling me guys , this actually would have been perfect , had I not forgotten that I 'd lent my keys to my sister , so I couldn't get in . Imagine , three suitcases a bag full of records , rain , meter running on the taxi and no phone . The only person whose number i know off by heart is my darling ex boyfriends , so I jump back in the cab and head into town to meet him , thanks for saving me Seb .

 

Anyways monday was pretty boring , a few meetings or something like that , and Tuesday I got sick , I vomited about 10 times for no reason and had a fever , I though I'd be out for a week , but I was fine after a nights sleep suprisingly . Wednesday I had a facial ( I know what your'e thinking , a couple of plays from Jo Whiley , and she's off to the spa , and you'd be right ) no but seriously it was an amazing treat , then I went for a couple of meetings at Parlophone , and then for dinner with my friend Joseph , we went to a gig afterwards to see Devil's Gun at Metro , had a reasonably early night .

 

Thursday I had a busy day, meeting with various people about live stuff and artwork and $h!t like that . had to have an early night as Friday was the first day of shooting for my video /EPK thingy of LDN , which obviously consisted of me riding round London on a bike all day etc etc , very tiring business , anyways they let me off early to get some sleep for day two , when my dad calls me to tell me that his missus had gone into labour at 5 am that day , wow . It gets better , I get home get my head down for a couple of hours , when I get woken up by my hysterical sister on the phone who's out for dinner with my bro and my mum , turns out mum took an anti-biotic before the meal, that we now know shes allergic to , and stops breathing and passes out in the restaurant , she gets rushed to Homerton hospital and by the time I get there shes still out for the count but she's fine , they put her on some anti-dote that worked a treat , we all thought she was going to die , NOT FUN . and all this in one day , so I stay with her till two in the morning and then take her home ( the perfect daughter) .

 

Saturday was the same thing , riding round the city all day , doing some talk to camera $h!t etc etc , its weird actually, being infront of a camera , I guess people think if you sing and write these songs you must be a natural at performing them like this , whatever . Sunday is last day of shooting , we start off in this park in Soho , where I used to play as a kid , and we ask the park keeper permission to film in the nice gardeny bit , he agreed . cut a long story shorthish , I'm wearing these trousers under my dress cause it's f***ing freezing , and the director asked me to take them off cause you could see them in the shot . I told him to f*** off , or take his shirt off so he could see how he liked it , so he did( well down to his vest anyway ) . I kept my part of the bargain by taking my tracksuit bottoms off , when this park guy comes running out his shed with a RAKE ! telling us in an eastern european voice " get out , I no agree to make sex movie in my garden ". Picture me with my trousers round my ankles standing next to a bench and the director in a vest talikng through the shot , I can see where he was coming from , but he wouldnt let us explain . " please leave park " " no , leave park now , I no agree to this " . Funny eh ?

Anyway sunday shoot over and , I go and meet my mates Sid and Adam for dinner when finally, my Dad calls me to tell me I have a baby sister 7 .5 lbs , two whole days since Tamsin ( my dads missus ) went into labour . We couldn't believe it took her so long to deliver , must've been New Labour ( ha ha ha aha )

 

 

till next time

Rubbish Blog

Current mood: blank

 

Sorry , Iv'e been well lazy with updating my blog , but to be fair I've been at film premieres and chilling with Big Brother rejects for the past two weeks so I havn't even given you a thought , only joking like . I've just been lazy.

Anyway , everythings been going mental , which is loverly but terribly time consuming and tiring ( not that I is complaining though innit? ) I've been doing photo shoots , as you can probably tell my my bootiful profile pictures . I did a shoot for Vogue , which was well scary , but they were actually lovely people , I was expecting them to be so up their own arses , and they surprised me , so thanks to them . .......................what else have I been up to ? Oh yeah I went to see the KLAXONS last week , they were very funny , I can't figure out whether they are geniuses or idiots , I hope they are both, maybe thats whats so captivating about them , I like them anyway , and not much else matters , I also stole a copy of their most recent demo, from someone at my record companies desk and have been listening to them all week . GREAT STUFF believe me .

I went Camden Crawling briefly to see the lovely Larrikin Love , who I'd never seen before , they were brilliant , but I knew they would be all along so no surprises there , Happy as Annie is my favourite song , I am a big supporter of theirs and they got me my ticket , so now I like them even more . Yay .

I'm in the Sun today and the Daily star , which is hilarious obviously , f*** I feel like I've lost my flair for writing this week , maybe I just don't have anything to write about .

It's my 21'st next week , I wan't lots of presents , i think I will get a few , I'm sad cause my dad will be away , and I'd like for him to be around , but duty calls I suppose . I'm having a party at my house , with all old family and friends and stuff , which'll be really nice . I'll let you go now , but Ill be back soon with more nonsense , but I must get back to believing my own hype now .

Rehearsals , million plays , my poor laptop

Current mood: chipper

 

Alright people ,

So let me tell you a little about my week , firstly thank you to myspace for featuring me as an artist , its great except I spend a minimum of an hour and a half approving friend requests in the morning now , still I'm not complaining or owt . Cheers Tom .

So Monday , LDN got released in a good little independent record shop near you , HOW BLOODY EXCITING is that ? Well very exciting , even if they did think me a bit of a t*** in Rough Trade when I marched half my friends down there to buy a copy , actually I even bought a copy myself , felt pretty cool " Hey , have you got that 7" called LDN , by Lily Allen " , " Yes Lily , here it is , it's been flying off the shelves , now get out of our shop " HA ha . After embarrasing my self sufficiently there I went to my first rehearsal ( for my show this week at YoYo ) at The Premises , they went pretty well actually , which was a huge relief as I have been $h!tting myself about these gigs for ages , anyway I went to get a cup of tea , and this guy stopped me in the hall , " Are you Lily Allen?" cue me reaching for a pen ready to sign an autograph (joke) " er , yeah, why ?" , " " I play in Babyshambles , we really like your stuff man , you should do a show with us sometime ......." I'm thinking about wheter he's just keeping me distracted while the other bandmembers go and thief all my brand new shiny equipment , maybe I'm being paranoid " thanks that's really sweet man , I'll be in touch, oh by the way , how did you know it was me ? " I said thinking he must have recognised me from one of the various pieces in the recent press, or my myspace . " I saw your name on the board , and put two and two together. " I ran to reception and ask for a key to my rehearsal room and lock up while on my mission for tea. I went to TRASH at night time , and ended up in bed reasonably early .

Tuesday was rehearsal day again , getting better , and did a phone interview for Timeout .

Wedenesday more rehearsals , this time my Dad came down to watch and gave me my birthday presesnt , a beautiful gold bracelet , he can't make it for my actual birthday so we had a drink then instead . Then my friend Jamie and I went to an EXTREMELY posh restaurant for dinner and HE spent alot of money on the food that I ate . Then we went out drinking and I got banned from this club for behaving badly : ( .

Thursday i was very hungover and slept pretty much all day , then went fro a bit of a half hearted rehearsal in the evening , came home to watch The Apprentice but my f***ing skybox is f***ed and failed to record it , spent 45 minutes on the phone to the morons at Sky and demanded they send me a dvd of the episode in question , they told me where to go , and because I was still feeling weak , I went . Which brings me to Friday , oh what a day , I went to meet Sophie Muller ( a brilliant video director) to talk about her maybedoing my video for "Smile" ( my next single) and then I went shopping in town , actually Selfridges , I bought 4 dresses , as I have some important photo shoots coming up and I might even be able to get the record company to pick up the bill , he he . so that was nice , then I went to buy an I-pod HiFi from the mac shop on regents street , which I have to say is brilliant , it's louder than those Harmann Kardon speakers , and doesent have a huge sub woofer thing that resembles a jellyfish , anyway as you can imagine this Hi Fi is quite heavy and armed with two selfridges bags and this big box at rush hour in soho on a friday IS NOT FUN , f*** I don't have any ciggarettes and there are no taxis , and I don't have cash to pay for a taxi , panic sets in , I hid in a backstreet till half six sitting on my box clutching my bags , desperate to be at home , finally I plucked up the courage to get back on the main road and hail a taxi , got him to pull over at a cash point and a shop to buy fags and everything was alright again . Then I get home and HURRAH my mixtapes have arrived from the , well I don't know, the people who print mixtapes . Get in another cab off to rehearsals and then go to 93 feet east to see Jack penate play , which was brilliant , really really good , I also saw my ex ex boyfriend , who " smile " is about , and that was a bit of a shock , but other than that fine , then we went to my friend James leaving party at Sketch , which was lovely , and off to bed.

Well saturday was intertesting to say the least , I asked my little brother ( Alfie) , by the way it's alfie who made me take the song down , cause he doesn't like it , anyway I asked him to help me spray my mixtape covers in exchange for money , and apart from the fact that he got his mate to do most of it, he wouldn't finish off his bit , so I could start packing the paint away etc , anyway I threatened him with not paying, He went mental and he tried to grab the mixtapes and throw them in the fire , I grabbed them and ran upstairs to put them in my room and , your not ready for what happened next , he opened the front door and threw my laptop into the street , yup my poor laptop , into the street , I cried and cried , and went to meet my friends Seb Simon and Austin for a burger , which cheered me up . So kids , it doesnt matter how many friends or plays you get on Myspace , little brothers are still $h!ts . by the way I hit a million plays today . yay . Next week is lily week( my 21st and my first gig ) so you should get an interesting blog at the end of it .

Lily Week and My First Gig

Current mood: anxious

 

hello there , this is gonna have to be a quickish one cause , since my laptop incident of last week , the only time I can check this and do blogs etc is when someone kind enough lends me theirs .

So , last week eh ? well Monday I had my 21st birthday party at my house , it was really really nice loads of old family and friends LOADS of presents , and all really good ones, there was champagne and as I've recently come into some cash I thought why not push the boat out and get caterers , so we ate mini hamburgers and bangers and mash on spoons and mini poppadoms with chicken korma on top ( you get the idea) oh and a beautiful cake that my mum got . As if that wasn't enough for one evening , me and a few friends went to Trash and saw the Klaxons ( again) , I'm definitely becocming a convert , rang in my actual birthday , and went home .

Tuesday ( real birthday ) , woke up and wondered around aimlessly in the house for a bit , went to the pub with my manager Adrian, and ate Thai Green curry for lunch ,then we went back to his office for cake and tea . I had a few hours to kill before my birthday drinks so I did a bit of window shopping on londons fashionable Portobello road . At 6 I went to the Electric brasserie ( a posh place on , londons fashionable portobello road ) for drinks with people from work , they know how demanding I am on the present front , so thought it would be really funny to buy me a couple of books and see what my reaction was , I figured it out as soon as I opened them though as noone in there right mind would seriously buy me Daniella Westbrookes and Jade Goody's auto-biograpy / biography ( I never know what means what, the price of education eh? ) anyway it soon became obvious and they gave me my real present , which was a beautiful Diane Von Furstenburg dress that I'd had my eye on , thanks guys . From there I went to ........ wait for it ........ NOBU ( I've made it ) restaurant to the stars for dinner with my mum my Sister , Emily , the P-unit Seb, Jo an Sasha , and we ate the most amazing meal ever , they even wrote Happy Birthday on my plate in chocolate for the pudding bit , So that was it 21st birthday over , I would have been realy depressed had I not got such an exciting few days lined up for the rest of my week .

Wednesday , I had and interview and an all day shoot for a magazine that I won't name , you'll just have to wait and see , and the oddest thing happened , We were on the top of primrose hill , doing some shots in a red dress ( ode to sugababes mk3) when we walked down and noticed a guy with a huge lens taking pictures , I looked behind me scanning fro a glimpse of.........? who could it be ? Kate , Sienna , Donna Air, Kerry Mcfadden ? No ,It was I, he was snapping , very strange indeed , good though , I won't lie , I loved it , sick I know but I did . So home to bed I wen't, and sleep I did . Actually thats a lie I went to rehearsals and then got locked out of my house and had to stay at a friends ( i remembered two paragraphs from here )

Thursday (My First Gig day) $h!t $h!t $h!t ........... what am I doing ? I can't play a gig , I get on the tube to a hotel in the west end to do a few interviews before I went to soundcheck , A lovely man from GQ interviewed me and it was one of the two best interviews yet , so thank you man from GQ for taking my mind off the inevitable shambles that will occur later, for an hour or so . Then off to soundcheck , everything fine thanks, mind at rest , a little . So I wen't back to this Hotel watched TV and had a shower along with a couple of alcoholic beverages , before getting my make up on and getting changed into my loverly new dress for my show . On arrival at the club , I push my way through the crowds of autograph hunters and paparazzi(joke obv) and get downstairs , the place is packed and I am really really nervous now so I have a pink cocktail and a shot of Jaegermeister and make my way to the stage , a couple of girls were pushing me back saying " we were here ages ago , you can't just push to the front" and i almost felt like hiding there in the crowd and not doing the show at all , but politely I said " I've gotta sing though" and they let me through . DISASTER .......... my earpiece thingy does'nt work and I can't hear myself , I did LDN and everyone sang at me so I don't think anyone noticed how $h!t I sounded , but on the next song it was very apparent by the looks on peoples faces how rubbish I was , but then, as if by magic everything started working , and people danced and cheered , I laughed nervously and it was great . Got pretty pissed after that and DJ'd for a bit . Then I went home .

Woke up on friday and cried immiediately , Lily Week over . slept all day to recover .

Nothing really happened on the weekend except I saw a Peacock on its own walking down the road in Holland Park on Sunday ? Strange week .

till next time .

LYRICS

Current mood: touched

 

LITTLEST THINGS

 

Sometimes i find myself sittin' back and reminscing

Especially when i have to watch other people kissin'

And i remember when you started callin' me your miss's

All the play fightin', all the flirtatious disses

Id tell you sad stories about my childhood

I dont why i trusted you but i knew that i could

We'd spend the whole weekend lying in our own dirt

I was just so happy in your boxers and your t-shirt

 

Dreams, Dreams

Of when we had just started things

Dreams of you and me

It seems, It seems

That i cant shake those memories

I wonder if you have the same dreams too.

 

The littlest things that take me there

I know it sounds lame but its so true

I know its not right, but it seems unfair

That the things are reminding me of you

Sometimes i wish we could just pretend

Even if for only one weekend

So come on, Tell me

Is this the end?

 

Drinkin' tea in bed

Watching DVD's

When i discovered all your dirty grotty magazines

You take me out shopping and all we'd buy is trainers

As if we ever needed anything to entertain us

the first time that you introduced me to your friends

and you could tell i was nervous, so you held my hand

when i was feeling down, you made that face you do

no one in the world that could replace you

 

Dreams, Dreams

Of when we had just started things

Dreams of me and you

It seems, It seems

That i cant shake those memories

I wonder if you feel the same way too

 

The littlest things that take me there

I know it sounds lame but its so true

I know its not right, but it seems unfair

That the things remind me of you

Sometimes i wish we could just pretend

Even if for only one weekend

So come on, Tell me

Is this the end?

 

 

 

 

 

LDN

 

Riding through the city on my bike all day

Cause the filth filth took away my liscence

It doesn't get me down and I feel ok

Cause the sights that I'm seeing are priceless

 

Everything seems to look as it should

But I wonder what goes on behind doors

A fella looking dapper , but he's sittin with a slapper

Then I see its a pimp and his crack whore

 

You might laugh you might frown

walkin round london town

 

Sun is in the sky oh why oh why ?

Would I wanna be aywhere else

Sun is in the sky oh why oh why ?

Would I wanna be aywhere else

 

When you look with your eyes

Everything seems nice

But if you look twice

you can see its all lies

 

 

There was a little old lady , who was walkin down the road

She was struggling with bags from Tesco

There were people from the city havin lunch in the park

I believe that it's called al fresco

Then a kid came along to offer a hand

But before she had time to accept it

hits her over the head , doesn't care if she's dead

Cause he's got all her jewellery and wallet

 

You might laugh you might frown

walkin round london town

 

Sun is in the sky oh why oh why ?

Would I wanna be aywhere else

Sun is in the sky oh why oh why ?

Would I wanna be aywhere else

 

When you look with your eyes

Everything seems nice

But if you look twice

you can see its all lies

 

Life , thats city life , yeah thats city life , thats city life

Life , thats city life , yeah thats city life , thats city life

 

Sun is in the sky oh why oh why ?

Would I wanna be aywhere else

Sun is in the sky oh why oh why ?

Would I wanna be aywhere else Sun is in the sky oh why oh why ?

Would I wanna be aywhere else

Sun is in the sky oh why oh why ?

Would I wanna be aywhere else Sun is in the sky oh why oh why ?

Would I wanna be aywhere else

Sun is in the sky oh why oh why ?

Would I wanna be aywhere else Sun is in the sky oh why oh why ?

Would I wanna be aywhere else

Sun is in the sky oh why oh why ?

Would I wanna be aywhere else

 

 

SHAME FOR YOU

 

ve been thinking that youve crossed the line,

if you disagree well that will be just fine,

cos you waste my time and waste my money

and your not too cool and your not soo funny!

Spreading your seed all over the town

getting to greedy and messing around:

Oh my gosh you must be joking me

if you think that youll be poking me.

 

 

Dont take me on no no

dont take me on no no

dont take me ooon

Shattered the lie but you think I dont already know,

dont try to deny cos my fuse is ready to blow

Its your turn to learn but I think that you know where to go

its a shame shame shame for you

 

please dont come around and knock on my door

cos I dont want to have to pick you up of the floor,

when you ask if we can still be lovers,

ill have to introduce my brothers,

think that they could teach you a lesson or two,

by the time they've finished youll be black and blue

Youll be crying like a baby,

a sea of tears theyll call the navy in .

 

Dont take me on no no

dont take me on no no

dont take me ooon

Shattered the lie but you think I dont already know,

dont try to deny cos my fuse is ready to blow

Its your turn to learn but I think that you know where to go

its a shame shame shame for you

 

Dont take me on no no

dont take me on no no

dont take me ooon

Shattered the lie but you think I dont already know,

dont try to deny cos my fuse is ready to blow

Its your turn to learn but I think that you know where to go

its a shame shame shame for you
