Well, this week has been rather disappointing.

Firstly, I was due to see the Manics, me number 1 heros, in Wolverhampton this Monday (May 21st). I'd worked for months to get over me social phobia/agoraphobia enough to make it there. Well, I went over to me friends house on the morning of the gig, who said she'd come with me to see them, only to find she'd left a note on the door saying she couldn't make it with me after all.

While I had managed to get over the worst of me agoraphobia, I hadn't got over it enough to have the courage to go alone, and I couldn't find anyone else to come with me on such short notice. So my confidence broken, I had to leave it. Fuck!

Well, as you can imagine I was rather depressed about this.

Me mum, in an effort to cheer me up, went and got some tickets to go and see The New Statesman, with Rik Mayall, again. Ok, so bad news about not seeing me number 1 heros, but I am going to get to see me 2nd biggest hero again..... or not!

Yup, I was due to go to see Rik yesterday. Only it turns out he is still ill and wasn't performing that night. Fuck again! Well the theatre in Leicester, where he was supposed to be playing, gave us a chance to rebook for Saturday (tomorrow), which we have done. BUT, they're still not sure whether Rik will be better by then, so we may have to cancel and get a refund, and try to get tickets for another venue at a later date.

So, while I will keep me fingers crossed for tomorrow, but, I am also going to prepare for disappointment. I'd rather prepare to be disappointed, afterall if he isn't on then I expected it, and if he is then it'll be a nice surprise.

Well anyway, at least one good thing had happened this week. I finally finished a new picture, me first for ages, and nearly finished a second one. Since Christmas I've had an inexplicable lack of motivation in the drawing department. So it's good that I seem to be finally getting back into it again.

Also, on the note of the new Manics Album, Send Away the Tigers... It is an awesome album. I know you might think I'd just say that because I'm a Manics fan, but if I didn't like it, I would say so, I don't feel obliged to like *everything* the Manics do, and there are quite a few songs I hate by them, none of which are on this album though.

It's a relatively short album, only about 40 mins, if you include the hidden track. I've heard it nearly everyday since they released it. My favourite songs on it are probably: Your Love Alone, Indian Summer, The Second Great Depression, and Imperial Bodybags.

But seriously, buy this album, because it's awesome XD

Stay Beautiful,

Aissa.
