Hi there, I've been thinking since I write post on most of the concerts I go to that I might as well share my top 5 favourite albums of all time! If you don't like the same kinda music as me you could keep an open mind and maybe discover a love for some new music. These aren't going to be in any order just whichever one I think of next, and if you enjoy this post then you could suggest some more things I could write a favourites post on. Anyway, on to the music!

Final Night of Sin!
Bonjour! Today I finally got time to sit and watch my Final Night of Sin DVD which, for those who don't know, is a live DVD of You Me at Six performing to a sold out Wembley Arena, no big deal! In this post I'm going to review the DVD and it is a very biased opinion because YMAS are my favourite band off all time, ever!
Before I get into the review I just want to try to explain how much this band means to me. I first fell in love with You Me at Six in the Summer of 2009, their song "Jealous Minds Think Alike" came on Scuzz and it was love at first sight. I listened to them over and over again and when I went into 1st Year whenever I had to say something about myself I'd say "I love You Me at Six". I've seen them live 4 times, the first time was when they supported Paramore in December 2009. I also saw them on the 28th of March 2010 which is the day I met them because I won a meet and greet and when I met them I cried, that's how sad I am but I don't even care. I, then, saw them in December 2010 and again in April 2012. I listen to them every day and I'm still not bored of their songs. It's hard to explain how a band can mean so much to someone unless that person feels the same way towards a band or singer or whoever. I do love people and all but with a band it's so different. If you fight with your friends or family, they're not there to help you but music is something that's always there, no matter what. When YMAS announced that Wembley Arena was sold out I was so proud of them, which sounds stupid but I was! They deserve everything they've achieved and I'm not just saying this because I love them, they've worked so hard to get where they are today. I'm not saying that makes them better then people who maybe got lucky with success, like I'm quite fond of One Direction and I'm sure they'd sell out Wembley Arena but they've practically been handed everything they have which is why this is such a big deal for YMAS and their fans. I don't know what to say, I just love them. They mean everything to me and I don't know where I'd be without them.
Now onto the review. I think YMAS performed amazingly at Wembley. Like I've said, I've seen them 4 times so I have a good idea of how amazing they were live but wow, they were did absolutally brilliantly! I have never heard Josh's voice sound so good, he sung every note perfectly. All the instruments sounded amazing! They all have so much energy. Dan kept everything perfect on the drums, Max was doing all his little spins and head bangs, Matt was jumping around with so much energy and Chris was amazing with his fabulous hair swishing everywhere. I think all the production and lights and everything just made it! I've seen them play with flashing lights and air cannons but this was so much better and I wasn't even there. I love how they played songs from every album and how they played the slower songs that they might not usually play live like "When We Were Younger". The crowd sang everything so loudly, it sounded great especially "Underdog", I've never heard it so loud but then again I've never heard it from a sold out Wembley Arena. I'm so glad they released the show on DVD for the people, like me, who sadly didn't get to go and I'm just so proud of them.
For those who aren't YMAS fans, I seriously recommend you go and listen to some of their songs, they have so many different styled songs but they're all amazing, there's probably one that you will like. I hope you enjoyed this post, for anyone interested you can pre-order the Final Night of Sin DVD here: http://youmeatsix.co.uk/thefinalnightofsin/home.php and thanks for reading :)

Christmas Time!
Bonjour! So I just realised that I haven't done a blog post in ages and I just felt the need to do one for some reason. I know people probably won't care but I just feel like I should write something! I have a few ideas of things to blog about but they may need a bit more time to develop into a good enough post, so I'm just going to do a little Christmas tag now. I know these are usually done on YouTube videos but I just think it's a nice thing to have on my blog since Christmas was two days ago and I need something to blog about. I'm taking all these questions from Zoella280390's Christmas Tag video. So lets get started!
1. When do you start getting excited about Christmas? For the past few years I don't get as excited for Christmas as I use to, but I start getting sort of excited around the second week of December.
2. Do you still have advent calendars? I do indeed, this year I had a Simpsons one.
3. What are your favourite Christmas films? I love Elf, Home Alone and The Santa Clause.
4. Do you have any funny Christmas memories? Not that I can think of.
5. Talk us through your typical Christmas day? Wake up at 8, open presents, watch a movie. Get dressed and ready. Eat, relax, eat, sleep, eat. Watch TV Christmas specials, eat, bed!
6. What do you eat for Christmas dinner? Turkey and ham, stuffing, pigs in blanket, veg, roast potatoes, more that I can't think of, and then repeat!
7. Do you have any Christmas traditions? I don't think so.
8. Which are your favourite Christmas songs? Fairytale of New York and Christmas Time.
9. What is the best Christmas present you ever received? This year I got a signed You Me at Six - Live in Wembley CD which is amazing, but one year I got Heelys which I still have and can still use!
10. Real or fake Christmas tree? Fake! I don't see the point in buying a real one every year, you can save money and hoovering if you just use a fake one.
Hopefully that was interesting to some people and I hope everyone had a good Christmas. And I'd like to say thanks to those people who say they enjoy my blog posts, whether they say it to me in school, comment on my Facebook or even just like a statues. It means a lot to me to know that people read my blog! I'll, hopefully, have some proper blog posts up soon. Thanks for reading :)

YMAS April 7th 2012
Hi there. I just found the post I made on my Tumblr when I got home from You Me at Six in April and thought it'd be cool to post it here. Thanks for reading :)
I just got back from You Me at Six in the Olympia, Dublin and holy crap it was amazing! We got there at 12 pm and we started talking to some girls and all was fine. The girls we were with had some Maltesers and a fake ass for Josh and they were going to throw them at him if they didn’t get it to him before but I knew who Rob (their tour manager) was and he kept coming out for a smoke so we went up and gave him the bag to give to Josh. Then they played, left for a minute and came back and what was Josh wearing? Yes, the fake ass and me and my friend, Emma, freaked out. Then Max looked right at me and… Yea, it was pure amazing! Though, when they played Crash I cried. Thank you, You Me at Six for making music and being amazing at it!

Sure Why Not, YOLO
Well, I'm Catriona and I've been wanting to start a blog for a while now but I was scared no one will read it. There's probably no one reading this but I was thinking that if I didn't do this I would regret it. This post is just going to be an introduction kind of thing.
So hi, how are you? I'm grand for anyone wondering. As I've said, I'm Catriona. I'm 15 years old and I live in Ireland. I have long brown hair and I have hazel/green eyes (they kind of change colour). My favourite subjects in school are History and English. I love writing and I always have. I'm in Transition Year in school so I have loads of time on my hands. I love You Me at Six, they're my favourite band, people, my favourite everything really. My favourite movie is Batman The Dark Knight. I love reading other peoples blogs. Bloggers I love are the likes of Leanne Woodfull, Zoella and Sprinkle of Glitter. I'm not a religious person, and to be honest it all confuses me but I respect everyone's opinion and I would never tell anyone that their opinion is wrong! I love going to concerts, local gigs and just socialising in general.
Even though I'm only at the young age of 15, I still feel that I'm very mature but you wouldn't agree if you knew me. I act kind of childish but I think about things very maturely, if that makes sense. I have been through very sad times and I've had my fair share of loses. The best moment in my life was when I met You Me at Six, I've hugged Josh Franceschi, high-fived Max Helyer and Matt Barnes said I had a nice face but I sort of cried when I met them as they are my heroes.
I think you know enough about me now to get a rough idea of what I'm like. I hope you enjoy my future blog posts if there is anyone even reading this, if not this is awkward... Thanks for reading :)
