Things I am looking forward to about this first half of the year;

1. I am finally going to start my driving lessons! I have sent off my provisional driving licence application, so next week hopefully I'll be able to book some lessons;
If I were able to drive, I'd be so happy, I'd not have to use the shitty public transport as much, I'd be able to drive to college... I'd be able to drive wherever I wanted if I had the petrol!
And now that the bad of the winter is over, it's not going to be horrible to drive around in the weather

2. Pete Doherty at Leeds O2 Academy- I am actually so looking forward to this, it's all the way in May but that doesn't not make me any less excited for it! I am actually so in love with this man, and I think it would just be brilliant to hear his solo stuff live... I was lucky enough to see The Libertines last year, which was amazing! And I also saw Carl Barat last year which was oh so good too! I just need to see Pete! (Then I'll have a think about whether I should go see Gary's new band ahahah, but of course I need to see Babyshambles too)

This is one of my favourite pictures of Pete.

3. Angles- The Strokes. Need I say more? I saw the new album art last night, and the new single is just like WOW... it's really happening! I am hoping they'll tour, which they should do... I still need to find a friend who   likes The Strokes which is going to be hard as most of them haven't heard of them. Yes. I was shocked too;

Me: It was well exciting last night when the new Strokes single came out

Friend: Who?

Me: The Strokes...

Friend: Never heard of them.
Me: YOU HAVE NEVER HEARD OF THE STROKES??

Friend: No... ere Daniella, have you ever heard of The Strokes?

Daniella: No.

4. Arctic Monkeys- 

This bit needs a few parts to it, because there are a few things you should be looking forward to about Arctic Monkeys.

• Alex Turner is releasing an EP soon, it's a soundtrack EP for the film Submarine... I can't wait for it!!!! I would also love to see the film too.
• A NEW ALBUM. Now this is probably the best news you could have, and it just irritates me when people say stuff like "Oh I hope it isn't like Humbug..." or "I didn't like Humbug"... Humbug was amazing! I'd even go as far to say that it's their best album, Alex Turners lyrics are just so much more now, and the sound is oh so sexy and dark. And just wow. So I am really excited to see where they are going to go after Humbug, because in my eyes, it's pretty hard to beat. 
• They are playing two shows in Sheffield... and I have tickets! I'm going on the friday, Miles Kane and The Vaccines are supporting, I don't particularly like The Vaccines, I don't get the hype to be honest. I saw Arctic Monkeys in London last March at the Teenage Cancer Trust gigs, it was sooooo good! Once I saw them, I wanted to see them a million times over.

So yes, these are the main things I am looking forward to, now, I better get ready, because, I'm going to walk the streets of Leeds tonight, looking for a cheap gig to go to... because I can.

Bye.
