Hi everyone! Sorry it's been so long since I last updated, but I've just been so busy like you wouldn't believe. I did a TV show earlier on today, I was sharing the bill with Pete Doherty, and you just wouldn't believe the drama that went down during the rehearsal.
We were kept waiting for three hours because he hadn't turned up, and I was just fuming, I mean I was SO riled - who wouldn't be? There's absolutely no need to act like that, unless you're the worst kind of...well, anyway, eventually he turned up, looking guilty and all heavy eyelids, so lots of people were rolling their eyes and I resolved to give him a piece of my mind afterwards. So he does his set, and I do mine, and then I stroll off down the corridor after him to have a word.
And it turns out he's just the nicest guy! Really, really lovely. Seriously, I haven't got a bad word to say about him. He smiled, and said he was sorry, and I said not to worry and that I totally and completely respect him as an artist, and asked him if he liked my shoes. He said he did, and that was that. Aw it was lovely!
We had some press time after that, so I sat down in a dressing room (which they said was one of the smallest ones, but it wasn't, it was really nice!) and spoke to a journalist (from a tabloid newspaper, but she was still lovely) and answered lots of questions.
They were all the same questions I get asked a million times every day, but honestly, what kind of person would I be if I didn't answer them all as politely as I could? So I told her that my favourite album at the moment was Now 86 because I couldn't possibly pick any one artist I liked more than any other, that would just be rude and unfair. I also told her that the nicest celebrity I'd met so far was all of them, and that my favourite food was whatever gets put in front of me. Interviews are fun!
So, after all that confrontational drama, we went out for a meal to celebrate me officially being signed to a record label - yay! The restaurant was nice, the food was nice, everybody there was nice, it was just all very lovely and nice. Hurrah! Me and the girls decided we were going to go out to a club afterwards - really go out on the town and let our hair down!
But then Sarah pointed out that we all had to work tomorrow so we just had a mineral water each and I was in bed with a cup of cocoa and the latest Harry Potter by 9.30pm. Beauty sleep! Yay!
I've been working on a new song based on my breakup with my last boyfriend. The only problem is, not very much happened that's worth writing about. I mean, the truth is we just met for a cup of tea one day and he said that he wasn't sure he felt the same way about me any more and I said "That's fine, I respect your decision, thank you for being honest with me," and then we had a hug and promised to stay friends.
Which is great, obviously, but it doesn't really provide much movement. There's not more than about one verse in there. Maybe if I ask my friends if they've got any experiences they could tell me about, it might be a bit more interesting?
Anyway, best go to bed. I'll be absolutely KILLED if anyone finds out I haven't put the light out yet. It's almost 10.15pm!
Lots of love and snuggles,
