Bomb alert, bomb alert, its a catastrophe

meh, july 13. it was fun. i took lots of videos. we ballroom danced to the last song, 'It must be love' by madness, me and gem, jack and marc, ha. then we got out and staggered miles up the hill and through town to the mcdonalds on the ramp. marc was miles behind. we slouched down in front of the doors bout 6.15 and waited for maccys to open. there were knobs around. marc lay on the floor a way down the ramp until policemen came down the ramp and asked him to get up. then he came and lay on my legs. ow. there were lots of chavs and knobbers around. a couple of them were being cunty. we went in when it opened and i got two bottles of water and a sausage and egg mcmuffin. the cunts were still being cunty so we pretty much ignored em. then we walked up to gems bus stop and waited. marc went back to see if he could get a milkshake, and ended up saying they were gay, because obviously they dont at 6.40am. we waited with gem till she got her bus, then walked up to bull st for ours. marc went and got a bacon sarnie from asterias and i got a ribena and finished my mcmuffin. we then waited for the bus and caught it home around 7.30. marc fell asleep on the back. then we went to bed as soon as we got back.. about 8am. loooong night.

woke up about 1pm, didnt do much. we were fucking shattered. sat outside a bit and read the paper with my dad. we ate cold sausages for breakfast. marc had some lemon meringue pie and ice cream, and i had a lolly. i got the hammock out and had a relaxing lie-down, and read my book. we didnt do much. marc went on myspace for a bit. then we went upstairs and lazed again.
we eventually got around to getting ready and had a massive cheese and tomato pizza. left late and go ton the bus, only for the driver to inform us there was a terror alert in brum and they wouldnt be going any further than the fire station. sheeeeet.

got to the fire station and walked about 5 minutes to get to the academy. the place was full of people milling about because they couldnt get home cos all the buses had been stopped and the taxis werent being allowed through. sheeet. we walked into a wall of heat and sweat in the academy. we were instantly sweaty and my hair instantly fucked up, which pissed me off cos it was lookin fiiiine.
rach and gem were sitting in a corner. rach just looked like the heat wasnt affecting her at all. she looked just completely composed. wow.
we sat and watched funeral for a friend, but it turned out we'd missed most of it. i got the news up on my phone, and it said that brum had been evacuated, especially broad st etc, because of the terror alert.

after the gig, they made an announcement saying that the police had declared the building safe but we'd have to clear out and go across the road via the side doors so they could do a second security sweep just in case. we went out and wandered about a bit. then we headed to the rose to get a drink. there were loads of people in their in uniforms from different bars. whoa. we got drinks and sat near the back and chatted about what to do. rach was really wanting to talk to markier, who was apparently at the cinema.
nightmare. we headed back through brum in a meandering fashion because areas were taped up. we talked to some policemen about what was happening. apparently suspect packages were found all over brum. and there had been controlled explosions. hm. we headed back to the academy, and the police were just moving people on. dammit! we started walking out of brum, debatin what we were going to actually do. there were loads of people about. we walked up to corporation st and went into a takeaway and i got a kebab. just as i did a policewoman came in and told them to close up and stay away from the windows, then ushered all the people out. that was a little worrying. but aside from that, meh. we walked up newtown row and i arranged by phone for dad to pick us up and rach to stop at mine. and thats the way it was.
