Moving on up
Figured i should really post something here, as I havent in agggeeeeees.
Im going to university in 6 weeks and 2 days.
Im going to be at London Metropolitan studying Music and Media Management.
Its funny how life always come in full circle, isnt it? Was born in London, and lived there for a short amount of time. Ive always known i will end up back there, and sure enough i have. Its like I always knew I would move out of home at 19...which I am.
Moving out. It doesnt appear to be as big a deal as it perhaps should be. Im rarely at home as it is, and I feel a little out of place. I never really settled in in Brighton. i thought of allt he places in the UK brighton is where I would fit in best. And maybe i would of had i moved here at 14 or something...but ive just never got in to it. In think perhaps because i have always known i wont be living here long, i never let myself become fully integrated...A shame perhaps, but then again, i met the people I wanted to meet, and im quite happy with that.
Panicing about getting all the stuff i need for uni. Ive gone self catered, as i couldnt bear the thought of not having the choice over my own food. Im also skint. tried to get a job, but it proved more difficlt then at first thought...and times running out. so now im just going to get my HUGE overdraft, and live off that til i get a job in london. Over the moon as ive just found out my halls have 1 meg broadband. hehe.
I was thinking a lot about the music im in to now, and how i would never of listened to it a few years ago. I also used to think that I couldnt possibly be friends with anyone with a largely differing music taste...but then my best friend is a big reggae fan. Im 20 years old soon. And yet i feel ive grown more in the past 6 years then I ever could. How much mentally older can I get? i feel about 30 already. haha.
I love seeing the ways ive changed, and how my music taste i think really reflects that. Yet its quite difficult at times, as the more i reach out to try and fit in with my age group, the more i find why it just wont work. Although there are a few people of my age in to a lot of the same artists as myself, when ever i go to a gig of some one i love, im the youngest in the room...This concerns me in that I hope i find someone, of my own age, or at least less than 7 years older that appreciates what I do. Not that it matters hugely, ecause as ive mentioned, my best friend and i have hardly any shared musical interests. heh
anyway, ill keep ya updated whilst im at uni.
over and out.

It's a big big world out there.
Hello world. One small click of a mouse, one big step for me.
Ok, so this is my blog. After all this time resisting it, I have finally caved in.
I decided to start one as I felt it might encourage me to think about the bigger picture - which is something i used to do all of the time, but due to recent events I appear to of left this aspect of myself behind.
I just need a kick up the ass to start writing, and thinking, and feeling about things other than myself, and where my life is heading.
I'm hoping once the direction of my life becomes a little clearer, I will revert back to this way of thinking.
I guess I should say a little about myself. I dont know why, as im quite certain no one will ever be reading this, and I'm likely to lose interst after a few posts. I hope i dont. I'd like to be able to stick at something in my life.
So, Ok I called this blog Addicted to Sound, because, surprise surprise, I find music to be main passion in life. Im hoping to go to university in london on a music management course..the behind the scenes industry side of it interests me more (plus im hopeless on guitar/piano and singing!).
so, i think ill leave it at that for now.
