So the last time I posted was sometime in April and now May is drawing
to a close pretty soon so I thought I would give you a quick recap of what has
been happening the past month whether you like it or not. If not then get off
my blog like seriously what are you doing here?
So May began with a gig in Moseley with my friend Natalie to see BAD
MOON which ended up being "let's see what's inside Jordan Crawford's
stomach" when he threw up mid set right in front of his mother. I don't
remember a great deal of the night despite hardly drinking other than feeling
rather ill and spending a majority of my night in the smoking area.
The next day I became a domestic goddess and made a 3 well almost 4
course meal (does heating up bits of a bacon and sweet chilli chicken wings
class as a course?) for my boyfriend Jon as that evening he was saying farewell
to his teenage years and approaching the lovely age that is 20. For starters
we had nachos with a blanket of cheese melted on top complimented by philadelphia
and sweet chilli sauce which is well pretty easy to make. Next up we had pasta bake
and what would have been garlic bread if I had remembered to defrost it. Jon
seemed pretty pleased by all the food coming his way so I wasn't too worried
and I had American bacon (which barely shrinks in comparison to English bacon)
as well as chicken wings to back me up. Last but not least was the Dr Pepper
cake, this was the big finale which I think went down a treat despite my mom
saying it wasn't cooked enough! A big, thick chocolate cake which had hints of
Dr Pepper with every mouthful as well as being covered with chocolate icing on
top. I was extremely pleased with the outcome of my cake so ignored my mom's
comments. However it was such a strange and very fattening recipe but then
again it was American and I had to add 2 whole mugs worth of sugar to the
recipe which I think is a bit extreme and a great way to lead you to the path
of diabetes! Overall though Jon seemed really pleased with it all which is all
I wanted and hopefully a decent goodbye to the boring age of 19. It has also
made me want to get in the kitchen more (cue the hysterical comments about feminism
from Jon upon when he reads this)
Onto Saturday which was Jon's Birthday, that night we went to Drop Beats Not
Bombs 10th Anniversary, at Q Club, Birmingham which is a converted
chapel with a number of rooms playing DnB. I can't recap barely any of the
night but it was great and one of the best nights I have had this year.
In between cooking and complaining I took part in
a hair modelling show for my friend Joe who is becoming a hairdresser! The hair
show was to celebrate the Richard Harvey salon is still alive and kicking after
20 years, it's been a lovely few weeks popping to the salon every Wednesday to
be pampered. My hair has been dyed to black which has had mixed reviews as
people have really approved or told me I look like Wednesday Adams due to my
pale yet spotty complexion. But in the words of Cher from Clueless,
"Whatever!" I love it and now it gives me more opportunities to wear red
lipstick as it compliments my black hair so well. If you are ever thinking
about having your hair coloured at a hairdressers I would definitely recommend
Richard Harvey, they really take care of you and make sure you hair is going to
get the best treatment as well as having great staff. Here is a link to their facebook page https://www.facebook.com/RichardHarveyOldswinford
This post is starting to drag so I best cut this now. I will probably be posting more now as I have more time on my hands, I still need to post about my growing collection of Dr Martens but I'll save that for another post. May has been an eventful month and probably my favourite so far of the year, looking forward to what June has to offer.
Peace.
