February

Hello (:

This is a lot later than I expected/wanted it to be. I've been really ill for the past week or so with a virus and then I managed to get conjunctivitis as a result of said virus and looking at screens has been a big no-no. I've even had to turn down the brightness on my phone screen.

Anyway, here we are, February in a nutshell. I'm not going to do a post on my February reads, as I only read one book. Fracture by Dani Atkins, if anyone is interested. It was super slow going and I didn't enjoy it, so rather than dedicate a whole post on how much I didn't like it, there we have a tiny snippet on what I thought.

Much like January, I often tie February in to the beginning of the year blues. It's still a recovery period post Christmas and New Year and I feel like things are never back in full swing. At this stage, a lot of people have given up their new years resolutions and ditched the diet and gym (neither of which I actually started) and everything is still fairly glum. The weather is still freezing, raining, hailing, snowing, icy, horrible, horrible.

I started February by staying in Manchester with my sister. We went to see Neck Deep at the Academy and they were so, so good! That was followed by a trip to the pub to watch the Superbowl. I'm no expert when it comes to American football. I've seen tiny bits and bobs from what my dad's been watching just before Christmas, but I've not much idea about the rules and regulations. Watching it in the pub gave the whole event more atmosphere and it felt more exciting, especially during the half time show where the whole place was singing Firework along with Katy Perry!

Valentine's weekend was spent with You Me At Six and All Time Low's co-headline tour, followed by the Kerrang! Tour. I wasn't as excited about the latter, but both were a lot of fun. After the K! Tour, we headed to Satan's Hollow in Manchester for the Bury Tomorrow DJ set. I'd never been to Satan's Hollow before, I'd heard about it, but it wasn't what I expected at all. Despite that, I still really enjoyed it and the Kerrang! Tour was a really good night.

February has been a bit of a dull month overall. There's been a lot of sitting around waiting to go to work, actual working, eating a lot of pizza and cheeseburgers at my friend's house, and planning more fun things to do this year.

2015 has had quite a slow start, but now we're into March, things are definitely going to start picking up.

Until next time!
