Return to Leeds

I had a nice long weekend back in Leeds but started early on Thursday by consuming cocktails.

Yeah Mojito, sayyy what?

I went back up to Leeds for a Stereophonic's gig. I have to say it's up there with one of the best live shows I've been to. Kelly Jones' voice along with the effects that were put on really made it. The lighting was amazing, it rained glittery things from the sky (a bit like all the crap that constantly falls from the X Factor ceiling every single performance), we got TP'd on and there was giant bouncy balls floating around everywhere. Leeds arena itself is big yet intimate. I hadn't even noticed it there wedged in behind Morrisons. Here's a video Kelly took of the crowd, if you squint you can almost see us. Joking.

We asked a woman to take a group photo and this was the result... yeah thanks!

Afterwards we headed to a bar where we danced away the night with copious amounts of white wine. Shockingly, Gabby and I were surrounded by a high volume of men. More so than our whole University lives together. Sadly though, they weren't there for us, but my mother. Which brought on an entertaining evening.

 Eventually tiring and getting late, it was chicken time. Time to introduce my mother to the after party culture. Leeds is abundant with chicken shops and I have no idea which ones are best or how they differ so its mostly decided by a drunken stumble. My mum had a free drink with her meal and she asked for a sauvignon blanc spritzer?! Yeah, the chicken man didn't know what it was.

The rest of the weekend was spent lazing about eating and drinking. Eating and drinking, did I mention eating and drinking? Myself and my friend Sarah popped out on Sunday eve and ordered shots of tequila and cokes at the bar before heading off to a gay club. Its super glittery and they have cool pillows...just what you need for a night out obviously.

Miley? Are you there?

I returned home prepared to go to work, harrowed that I was no longer a student and have to spend 40 hours of my week pretending to be a responsible adult.

P.s. Is anyone else finding this UK season of X Factor really disappointing? I can barely bring myself to watch it. I love Sharon and Nicole, they make the show and I want to go partying with the pair of divas. Personally I think the talent is really good but nowhere near the caliber of last years contestants. Not that I can judge, I sound similar to this vine when I sing -
