Book Review - Kinda...

I've finished another book.
So techincally I need to write two book reviews.
But I cba.

So:
Past Secrets by Cathy Kelly. Good book, takes a little while to get into. Different mini stories kind of in one (follows the lives of 3 different families...). Didn't care so much about one of the families though...good book all in all though, need patience though.

Game Over by Adele Parks. Great book, annoying ending. Yelled at the main character Cas a few times for being so annoying. But great book overall.

:)

Ranting.

McFlyers are doing my head in.
Firstly: they are going 'Meet and Greets for us who pay monthly or are annual subscribers'.
McFly have done it fairly. They have given people the choice. Either pay an extra £29 and get to go to the Meet and Greets. Or don't pay the extra and don't get to go. I think that's pretty fair to be honest. You get other advantages of paying the extra £29 and being a 'Annual Plus' and I think tbh it's pretty much worth it just to get to meet the guys again.

They've done a lot for their fans really and I don't think some people are appreciating everything they've done enough. I understand the whole money situation. I've been saving for the renewal of my subscription for months now but now seeing as I have a job, I can afford it. I know that some people can't, I understand that. But please stop complaining. It's not McFly's fault. They're not going to charge nothing for the website and the content we get. The videos which are uploaded are amazing. They've captured their life and given us more of an insight to the guys we love but some people are just being ungrateful and saying that we shouldn't have to pay. And to not pay anything and get a free M&G? I would feel selfish to be honest if that was the case. Okay I understand that last year if you were an annual pioneer and paid the £40 you got the M&G but they've got to change some things...

Secondly: 'I remember when we didn't have to pay £70 to be a McFly fan'
Ungrateful cow.
No one says you are not a fan if you don't play the £70, did they? Yeah beforehand you might have not had to pay £70 but beforehand you wouldn't have got all the video footage, the webchats (which I admit, have slacked majorly...), priority seating at gigs, the chance to meet the guys.
Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr


Sorry just had to rant, people are so ungrateful.

xox

Edit: Someone just tweeted 'Make supercity better!' with a petition.
You fucking make a website that everyone will like. You see how fucking hard it has to be. Not everyone is going to like what they do. There are parts of the site I really like yet parts which annoy me but overall it is much better than the previous one.

Someone else also tweeted 'Why do we have to pay to be McFly fans? We all love them just the same, no matter how much money we spend on them!'

NO ONE SAY YOU HAD TO PAY TO BE A MCFLY FAN. DON'T PAY. THAT'S FINE. YOU CAN STILL GO TO THEIR CONCERTS AND LISTEN TO THEIR MUSIC AND TWEET THEM AND ALL THAT. YOU JUST DON'T GET EXTRA VIDEO CONTENT AND THE OTHER STUFF WHICH THEY DON'T HAVE TO GIVE US. BUT THEY KINDLY ARE. YES WE PAY FOR IT. BUT THEY DON'T HAVE TO GIVE US ANYTHING TO BE HONEST. SOME BANDS/MUSICIANS ARE CAUGHT UP IN THE FAME AND DON'T COMMUNICATE WITH THEIR FANS AT ALL. MCFLYERS ARE LUCKY. MCFLY LOVE THEIR FANS TO PIECES. SO WHAT IF YOU DON'T PAY FOR THE WEBSITE. YOU'RE STILL A FAN. YOU JUST LOOSE OUT ON A FEW THINGS. THE VIDEOS END UP ON YOUTUBE ANYWAY, EVEN THOUGH I BELIEVE THAT'S WRONG BUT THAT'S A WHOLE DIFFERENT RANT. JUST GET OVER IT. MCFLY LOVE ALL OF THEIR FANS, WHETHER THEY ARE A MEMBER OF THE SUPERCITY OR NOT. THEY UNDERSTAND PEOPLE DON'T HAVE THE MONEY FOR IT. THEY UNDERSTAND. THEY STILL LOVE ALL OF THEIR FANS.

I promise, rant officially over.
I've come off twitter so it has to be.

Up To Date...again

Been lacking in keeping things up to date...sorry...next year will be different, you'll find out in a while...

(PS I love the fact I say 'you' and stuff seeing as no one actually reads my blog...it's just something for me to look back on in a few years :') )

I've finished a book since reading Amanda's Wedding yet haven't reviewed it D: Oh dear! It was a good book too, I will get around to it before I finish the book I am currently reading...I've had so much on my mind recently I just kind of forgot about this and that...

Okay so I've started college. It's been really good and we've developed and printed a couple films already which has been fun - the film camera is blooming annoying though :') Everyone is lovely and this is my 5th week and I think I have made some great friends already.

I've started work. It's only a temp job on a Wednesday and Friday after college at CKW with mum but it's not that bad and the money is pretty darn good. This is my 4th week at that, I'm there until Christmas.

My greatnan sadly passed away on September 23rd which was awful but she is in a better place now and she will never be forgotten.

On the day of her funeral my dad phoned to tell me that his nan, my other greatnan, had passed away the previous night.

Thankfully that was the end of all the bad news *touch wood*

I hate not seeing Amy every day and am adjusting to the fact that most weeks I will only see her on a Thursday morning on the train journey to college and the fact I hardly ever speak to her on msn due to us being on a different times due to work which we've got to do and such...*sigh*

I'm going to see McFly again next year :D Hopefully twice. Once on the 7th March and then again on the 7th April. Well I will deffo be going on the 7th March which is down to Portsmouth and it's the first gig of the Up Close and Personal tour. And the 7th April is up in London and Kat is going to see if she'll be able to come down for it. xD So so so excited xD

I think that's mostly up to date on the important things...I'll try to keep more up to date in the future..

Which reminds me...

I've only got just over 20 days left of my 365 project and then it's NaNoWriMo time :') 50,000 words to write in November D: Oh dear!
But next year I'm going to be doing a 365 blog project.
So yes I will be updating this every day in 2012...not that much is going to happen. I just have to write something in here every day. Whether it's what happened that day, a story from when I was younger or something or a review of something or other. Whatever it is, I am going to try and do it :)

Until the future, see you soon
