I have a feeling I had some things to talk about, but again I have forgotten what they were hehe! I will just make it up as I go along as usual then...

Oooh! I have joined a poetry club on another log and it is ace! Which reminds me. I need to make a link to that page...done :) Haha! HTML how you try to elude me... I just copy and paste the bits into the code hahaha! HTML is one of the only things that I would like to learn but really cannot be bothered. Oh well. What do I need HTML for anyway? I would only spend an age playing with the colours [see the post on choosing my MP3 player!] and I can already kindof do that already. Just change the numbers till it looks nice :P.

I went to see "Big Sam" today and was surprised to find out that first Sam is a she and second that I already met her when the store was getting assessed. More boring than expected but we had a nice chat about me and gapbusters and stuff and I got a free coffee :) can't complain!

I've got smileyitus today! I can't stop using them! or !s either!

Ok. Just step back Charlotte. We are back into the Nights who say Ni again....

Ok lol. Um, what else?

Oh yeah. I got the DVDs I ordered from the Play.com sale - a fun looking kung fu film spoof and a Corrs documentary/gig DVD. I looked forward to watching the documentary and I enjoyed watching it. It has given me a new ear on their music as I understand more now what some of the songs are about. The pictures of the early Corrs were really quite funny if a little tragic haha! I just cannot get Jim with his curtains and geek glasses or Andrea body popping with masses of 80s hair in leggings complete with belt. Oh mercy....

On the other hand the DVD kindof made me have a short lapse into that depressed stint I had the other day. Watching them travel around the world having a whale of a time has made me wonder if I should have pursued a career in music. I know I am only 18 and have the world at my feet but I wonder what life can have in store for me. Will I continue to live a sheltered and inextrodinary life? Will I finally take some risks and do something exciting? Will I really become a journalist or will I get tired of working a cruddy local paper before I get anywhere good with my careeer? Will I actually make a good journalist at Uni? Will I end up taking the safe option and do a post graduate in teaching? Will I be crap at that too? Lord knows I am useless in positions of authority, I just want to cut everyone some slack and bend the rules in their favour.

And what about the other side of life? Will I ever find anybody special? Will I have kids? Will I regret having/not having 1/2/9 children?

I know I really shouldnt worry so far into the future but I often find it so daunting. Sometimes I feel ready for anything and secure that whatever happens I can be happy. But equally I somtimes find uncertainty quite overbearing. I am not usually one for expecting "what ifs..." but right now I am quite scared. I know that a lot of changes are about to happen very fast and fast change makes me uncomfortable for some time before I get used to the status quo.

Oh well. Enough of that.

Oh yeah and I think the end of The Corrs is nigh. I have been getting a vibe from them for a while like they are winding things up and crafting what they are doing to gradually come to a neat end. The release of a complete history of their story on DVD, the release of an album called "Home" that they "went back to their roots" on, the very quick 6 month turnaround between recording their last two albums.... the fact that they only released 3 songs from their last album... the fact that 3 of the 4 of them are now married and expecting....

It would seem like the perfect time for them to say goodbye I guess. They have achieved so much I don't think they could have many more goals to aim for. Plus they have been at it for 15 years and some are now pushing 40.

I really hope they release some more stuff for the fans and ignore chart success but I doubt that will happen. It seemed like they were saying a very gentle goodbye at the end of the DVD with comments such as "Was that our last tour? Maybe."

Ah, how I will miss your music. I am so glad I got to see them live on their last tour! Still. I have 3 great gig DVDs and 6 albums to keep on enjoying. If indeed this is goodbye, I salute you Corrs! You have brought much joy, talent and improbable good looks to the chart!
