Things I am excited about:

• Going to a Big Reunion concert in May (More here)
• New (season 9) NCIS every Wednesday, plus season 7 Saturdays
• Animal Crossing: New Leaf being released on 14th June
• NCIS season 9 being released in the summer
• Going to Berlin in October

And more, but I can't think of anything else at the moment!

The Big Reunion

Last night saw the finale of ITV2's The Big Reunion, a show charting the reunion of a selection of popular music groups from the 1990s and 2000s. The series, which began on 31st January, culminated in a 1½ hour concert special. I thought it was spectacular, and I'm very glad we've purchased tickets for a show on the tour!

Watching the acts live will be nostalgic if nothing else; although I'm a bit too young to remember the 90s first-hand, I bought both B*Witched albums a few years ago, and I'm familiar with 911's greatest hits from spending hours watching 90s boyband countdowns, in which 5ive also featured. 5ive was probably my first "favourite band", even though they split up when I was 5. On Sunday afternoons my mum would blast their Greatest Hits album while I danced around and sang along. My sister and I listened to the Atomic Kitten album "Right Now" regularly on our stereo; once I cried because we were told to turn it off! I actually remember the song "X" by Liberty X, despite it failing to reach the UK Top 40, and although I hadn't heard of Honeyz before the show, I think I will enjoy their live performance.

My excitement for the tour has already manifested itself in my B*Witched inspired nails:

Keavy even tweeted me about them!

Dressy Jessy

Yesterday, as it it is supposedly Spring now, I went shopping for warm-weather-ready outfits. The song "If It Don't Fit" by B*Witched rooted itself in my head and accompanied me into the changing rooms; this perhaps made me more discerning about my clothing choices. I tried on multiple tops and dresses to no avail, until a shimmery lace navy dress graced my figure - and fitted perfectly! I also found a nice stripy vesty top and a denim jacket which would be perfect to wear to The Big Reunion Tour show I'm going to, if it fitted. Hopefully I can exchange it for a better size.

February 2013

Somehow I managed to avoid posting on here last month. It wasn't intentional; I think it's just because my studies are becoming more important. At the start of the month I was revising for the chemistry mock, which I managed to scrape an A in, and this morning I did the same in a psychology paper on the stress (biopsychology) topic. My sister spent a few days away in Paris, which she loved, and seeing her off at 5:45am certainly increased my excitement for Berlin October 2013! A couple of days after she returned we went to Derbyshire and I really enjoyed returning to our favourite haunts and trying to work the new camera. The carefree, post-Derbyshire mood continued into the first week back at school, but in the last few days I haven't felt so cheerful. It might be as a result of staying behind after school to construct a biology essay instead of walking home with friends. I'm hoping I'll feel happier soon! :)
