Valentines..those butterflies

Well now I am going to tell you about my week, starting from Valentines day..
Okay so I met my lovely boyfriend on Tuesday after been apart for a week which felt like an entire lifetime, it felt so good to be in his arms again. Those lips against mine, the feel of his skin near mine..You can't buy that kind of thing ya know..I loved feeling the sheer excitement the night before of knowing I was going to be in the presence of my love for the next 24 hours..I got the same feeling as I always get before a Ronan gig, the kind of feeling where you can't sleep, breathe..in fact do anything without getting butterflies and can't stop smiling like an idiot. But who cares? It's the best feeling in the world! I was so excited to give him his valentines gift, as I felt like I couldn't keep it a surprise any longer! I mean how good is it surprising someone with gig tickets? For a band you know he truly adores!! the look on his face and the hug he gave me after truly meant the world to me knowing that I'd made his day..And of course my gifts were amazing too, the choccies and a dvd.. its funny he got me the dvd of the very same band we're gonna see in april..yes Paradise Lost! It's like we're psychic or something, but once again could tell he'd put a lot of thought into it like he does with everything :D I do feel so lucky to have this man in my life!
Okay so we got to Manchester a little later on after a very long train journey through the countryside..Arrived at the hotel which was really nice, great find Paul my love ;) We then soon set off in search of food and alcohol which we found after a walk round and we even found a 'genting' club hmmm no prizes for guessing what goes down in there? Well it certainly amused us put it that way! Well its Manchester pretty much anything goes and you can find what you want any time of the day or night, whatever floats your boat as they say ;-)
So we found 'The Font' naturally, possibly the best cocktail bar known to man and cheap too! I mean where else can you get an um bongo cocktail? So we had a few 'cheaper' cocktails there and then found a really cute small pub called 'The Circus' which was supposedly the smallest pub in Europe but I beg to differ am sure I've been in smaller, was nice anyway apart from the outside toilet lol! After that we went back to the hotel to chill for a while and have cuddles <3 seriously the best kisses and cuddles in the world I love the feeling of been close to my man :D
We then got changed and went back out again after feeling proud we'd taken an hours break from drinking..This time we found an AMAZING rock pub called 'The Salisbury' which took us by surprise cos from the outside looked like a dive but the jukebox was ace, the staff were cool and the beer wasn't bad either ;) all in all the place had a fab vibe! We then went back to the Font obviously before heading to the Shinedown gig, which was of course the main reason we visited Manchester in the first place and of course to spend Valentines somewhere different and cool :) But yeah Shinedown took us by surprise...Not a band we've been listening to for long to be honest in fact knew very little of them until just before Christmas. But so glad we went it was so good, the lead singer Brent Smith really got the crowd going! The set list was decent as well and his voice wow!! Definitely an under rated band, I recommend them live for sure if your into rock music but also not too heavy! A definite highlight for me was their rendition of 'Simple Man' it's such a great cover..And of course 'Sound of Madness', if you don't like that song then I think your a little dead inside!
After the gig we headed to 'Satan's hollow' which is a truly epic rock club that Paul found out about so well done hun! As soon as we walked in we felt like we belonged ya know? Doncaster has nowhere like that at all! Loved the fact it played every genre of rock music in turn (but no Incubus or metal music really but never the less still cool) And the beer was cheap too so yep great place to go and somewhere for rockers hoorah! Loved every second of it and didn't wanna leave! So yes we slept well that night..The next day was kinda blurry, having to check out of the hotel for 11 was a killer and then dragging ourselves around with our big bags eurgh not pleasent I felt like I was gonna die that day lol! Starbucks and Mcdonalds saved my life for sure! But yeah had an amazing time in Manchester it just has everything I SO wanna live there! had a 2 day hangover and a cold but would do it again in a heartbeat. loved the time we spent together and like I always say Paul your not just my boyfriend you are my best mate as well :) You truly are amazing honey and couldn't imagine my life without you..

Had an amazing time last night too it was needed after a busy week at work..Love going around the little drinking establishments in town that we have come to know and love plus the quiz in vintage rock bar ;) So sad we didn't win the socks lol! Love our random nights though and can't wait for many more even though we do attract the crazy folk! Oh well part of the fun I guess...Roll on the rest of 2012 for more good times, laughs, smiles and mainly love :)

I know 2012 is only just getting going but already I have had some amazing times can't wait for more. I have come to realise the small shit doesn't matter, like work, living at home and other things that don't really count as major problems. What truly matters is the quality time you spend with the people who truly deserve you and love you for who you are, the rest can stay well clear as far as I'm concerned as my spare time is precious to me so I want to be with the ones who I truly adore, one person definitely springs to mind here :D xxx I think if you have a true, strong loving relationship then you can just about do anything you like!
If you've got to the end of this then congratulations you win...socks ;)
