New Year, New Blog

     I've changed the name of the blog because 'Munchkins' was really stupid. I changed it to my current Tumblr URL because I'm not all that creative and it's a nice enough URL. Also for my new years resolution I resolved (that's probably not quite right but fuck off) that I would come here and post something at least once a week, I'm not sure that I'll keep it because I'm not great at keeping at things but I would like to. It also looks different, that's quite simply a result of my boredom, as is the name change, I've been planning to do it for ages but, even though it took me about a minute and a half, I've been procrastinating as always, so it took me a few months to actually do it. Christmas was great, I got gig tickets, music and books which all make this year good, I also got this necklace with my name in it written on a piece of rice which is pretty cool. One of the gigs I got tickets to was the Strypes in Cavan which I have already mentioned (talked about at length). It was fucking amazing if you were wondering, I was right at the front and my hearing is still fucked (which probably isn't good), I also got a t-shirt which says 'Live In Cavan' on it, not something a huge number of people have. On New Year's Eve (what is it, 4 days later) I saw the Strypes again at the NYE Countdown Concert (which is technically 18s but whatever they barely glanced at me), they played pretty early on because they had to get a plane to Limerick (like a 2 hour drive from Dublin) because they were preforming at Limerick's respective NYE Countdown Concert (cos Limerick is this year's city of culture), they were really good though. After them there was some fairly boring guy who is apparently pretty famous, can't remember his name, who was followed by MKS also known as the original Sugababes which I didn't enjoy, in the slightest, it was horrible, quit amusing to see all the people who can only be described as lads getting really into it and knowing all the lyrics, when that was (finally) over Madness came on and did a few songs before midnight, took a break about 2 minutes before and until the fireworks ended (about a minute after the clock struck midnight). Madness were really great, which is an improvement on last time I saw them when they were kinda shit, they were great fun and really energetic so that was good, they played until about one I think, possibly a little longer and then we headed home. The one weird thing that happened at it was seeing my Junior Cert. English teacher there, she said hi and we had a chat between songs when the Strypes were on and then she disappeared into the crowd which was fine until Madness when she reappeared slightly behind my mum and was dancing which is a weird thing to see your English teacher do (she's not all that young). Anyway I'm gonna stop talking now and go so bye!
