Erm...

I cycled into town today, and I went into a cool little shop/cafe called The Mustard Seed (sells fairtrade stuff & purdy carved African thingummys) which joins onto the church hall, where I used to go to a youth club type thingy. Anyway, I was browsing round and bought some odds and ends, but as I turned to leave, the old guy behing the counter said "Don't I know you from somewhere?" and I was like, "Doh!!" you see, this always happens; people who recognise me from when I was little jump out at me and ask me annoying questions like "What are you doing with your life?" Anyway, this guy rambled on at me about his plans to make improvements to the shop and cafe, and asked me about uni etc, so I said "Well, I've just completed an art course, but really I'd like to be a musician," at which point two middle aged, churchy type women appeared, and the old guy said: "This is Amelia! She was one of the grubs!!" (I think he was referring to when I went to the youth club, but grub?? WTF?!) Anyway, the woman asked me what instruments I play, and I said "Well, I play guitar, violin, and just bought a mandolin." They then asked me what style I played, and I said "Er, folky type stuff," to which they seemed slightly baffled about. Then one woman left, and another younger woman arrived from the kitchen - she was probably about 30 ish - and the middle aged woman said "This is Amelia! She plays the blah blah etc," at which point the younger woman leapt on me and hugged me, and said "Ooh! Musicians are like gold dust to us!!" to which I said, "Er...?" She then went on to tell me about her plans for some kind of musical youth club for older kids, where they could meet and "play rock music, and not rock music!" (her words...) Anyway, I'm not exactly sure what she was asking me to do... I was a little distracted by her teeth (They were huge. Nice, but huge. She was one of those jolly, teethy, boggly eyed church types. She randomly looked like Michaela Strachan.) Anyway, I think the idea was that she wanted me to help run it, along with some students from Lancaster Uni who they'd already roped into helping. And for some reason I gave them my phone number - I just wanted to get away!! Anyhoo, I'm not sure exactly what I agreed to in the end... Oh well. Might be fun... *ulp*

On a different note: I have a tan!! For the first time in my life I'm actually not see-through! I look almost healthy... *jigs for joy*

Ooh, and I logged on to DeviantArt today, and found that I'd been randomly given a week free subscription! Weyyyyy!! Basically, that means bigger thumbnail viewing, erm... more advanced journal stuff... umm... hmm. Well, that's all actually, but it's FREE!!! Woo! Check out my DA site for lots of luvverly pictures:
