Woahh. I haven't edited this in a long time! A lot has happened to me. I've now written something like 540 songs haha, they just keep on comin'. I had my birthday, and prom, etc etc, and loads of experiences which I was able to learn from. I've made some great friends, and some huge enemies. I've gotten back into Dolly Parton, after seeing her live on 5th July! It was... AWESOME.
So you can forget about Quentin Kauska, from the previous post, he's basically an arsehole who likes taking advantage of nice girls. I've gotten better at guitar as well, by default, and now I can almost play Realise by Colbie Caillat, I just gotta get the strumming on the chorus down.
Oh yeah - and I'm going into the studio at the end of the month! I'm recording 5 original songs, and 1 cover, Jolene by Dolly Parton :] The 5 originals are:
Time To Move On
See You Again
Susie-Mae
Shan's Song
AND ONE OTHER... it's between My Heart's Message, My Guitar and Dolly Parton, and I've set up a poll on a little site I like to call the Taylor Fan Forum... the best and original Taylor Swift fan site on the net. I'm really excited - Kayleigh and Susie are doing it with me and I know it'll be a blast.
Also, remember my friend Michelle? Well today she's showing my video of Susie-Mae to Stella Parton's PA, Brenda. Then next week she's showing the video actually to Stella. And if Stella likes it she's gonna be asked to show it anyone else she thinks might like it, HINT HINT Dolly. Of course, I would be really happy if just Stella saw it and liked it.
I also got a laptop last saturday! It's pink haha. I've spent ages putting all my stuff onto it, and I'm not nearly finished. However, this laptop will mean I'll be able to get online a lot more, and to be able to do things on the computer at any time, it'll give me a lot more freedom and it'll be useful.
Anyways, I should probably sign off now, byes!

Hey! I now have 5 days of zero exams, so I can relax. Lots have been going on! Me and Susie are writing a song together really soon, and my friend Quentin [who made Whitney Duncan famous and got her a major recording contract] is gonna advertise me on his site and around people and stuff. It's totally awesome! I can't thank him enough<3
There are now song lyrics on the site, although only for two songs, and I'm putting the link to my Youtube channel up in the links section. One of these days I'll get really bored and edit the calendar section lol...
So drop me a line etc... I've just been writing loads of songs recently really, that and doing exams. Wow I lead a full life lmao. So anyways, exciting stuff coming up, my birthday, prom etc. Gotta go now!
Love<3

At the moment I'm uploading the video of a song I wrote called 'See You Again' to MySpace. It should be done soon, I hope y'all like it. Just look in the links section :] I'll also be adding lyrics to this site very soon, so stay tuned!
Anyway, I best be off now, byes!

Hey! Yeah sorry I haven't posted in a while, I've been so busy with school and stuff. Yesterday was Leavers' Day, it was so sad! We kinda half-trashed the school LOL... and then at the leavers' assembley everyone cried :( I'm gonna miss everyone so much...
So yeah, there's a video of me playing "America", a song I wrote, on my Music MySpace [www.myspace.com/vickyeonline] go check it out :] I'm pretty much school-orientated right now, but my exams finish on 20th June, and hopefully I can start posting more regularly then :D
See ya! Love,

Well Michelle's now my internet band manager. She knows quite a few people in the industry so hopefully it should go well! I'm just stressing about school and after this I'm gonna do some homework and tons of studying - otherwise my death is iminent lol.
I had an idea for a beach party after the exams, with about 30 of us from the year getting a coach to someplace for the day to celebrate freedom and summer lol. I checked the internet this morning and I sent off for a quote for coach hire, and I'm thinking about us going to Southend-on-sea. It wouldn't be as far as Brighton, and besides Brighton would be packed.
I've made a vague guest list and I'm about to start making invitations to hand out next week.
We also got our sixth form timetables on wednesday, I'm barely doing any of mine at Bishop's, but what ya gonna do. I also sent off for an online application form to get EMAs this morning, I think I qualify for £30 a week :]
Well anyway, I should be off now, byes!

Damn I hate this stupid file manager. It just deleted everything I wrote. Grr.
Anyway, how you guys doin'? I'm doing just great, I recorded the demo with Susie and it went really well. The CDs came back on Wednesday and I was really pleased. I decided to call it "Collaboration".
I uploaded the songs to my music MySpace, and the collaboration MySpace me and Susie set up, and it's all looking good.
Yesterday I watched Idol Gives Back, it was awesomeness! I <3 that show... the Miley bit was funny haha! And I seriously loooove Carrie!
Anyway, I'm about to upload the songs I recorded onto here. I was just talking to Michelle [the one from Arkansas, knows Stella Parton, etc] and I sent her the link to my music MySpace. Well she really liked it, and said she was gonna send the link to Stella nd John Schneider. Awesomeness!!! I told her if I ended up getting a recording contract because of her then I would buy her the biggest house ever, a pink convertible and a year's supply of chocolate lmao. She also said if I sent her the tracks than she'd send them to "entertainment lawyer/music business guru Peter Lopez". Apparently if he likes me then I really good be going places! So excited!
[[if this is Stella or John or Peter, hi!!!!]]
So anyway, I went back to school on Wednesday [eww but it had to be done], and in four week's time I die, lmao. I hate exams SO MUCH. Ah well, at least they'll be over by the time my birthday comes around!
Anyway, I best be off, byes!

Well, after kicking the hell out of the file manager on this site, I finally managed to get stuff to work :P Yes the pictures are a bit squished but I really don't care!!
Am going to Mai's today to do lots of revision, otherwise neither of us will do any lol.
Last night I checked the Jewel "fan page" on MySpace that I made [the only reason I made it was to host a song I wanted on my profile]. I only made it a few days ago, and it had about 663 profile views, 259 plays of the one song I had on there, and 59 plays THAT DAY. Stuff I make on the web has never been as popular as that, so I took advantage of the situation and advertised this site there XD
Well you can't say I don't try and promote myself, right?
Oh, and Mai says hi :)
Well, I'm real hungry right about now but we don't have any food left *dies*
I think I'm just gonna go see if my jeans are dry yet lmao... [they were wet so I put on hot pants instead XDDD]
Byes!

April 2nd, 2008
Well whaddya know, it's already Wednesday *dies inside*
Talk about the amount of studying that I have to do! Oh well, tomorrow I'm going round Mai's house to soldily revise... sounds like fun lol.
I'm bored so I'm posting here, but I like to make a point of not picking up anything school-related before my dad gets home from work [at around 12:30pm] because the time should be used for more important things, eg computer & TV. :]
So I'm stuck here doing nothing whatsoever with my time, thinking maybe I should upload some more S Club 7 CDs onto my iTunes... and look for an outfit for leavers' day. It's coming on 9th May and I don't know if I'd be able to get a proper cowgirl outfit by then. All I really need is a plaid shirt, some worn-out looking jeans and possibly a belt to go with it, boots and a hat. And to lose about 10 pounds. lol :)
And my Taylor CD!!! Gawd I'm so rubbish at buying stuff I actually want haha :)
It all ends up on candy.
Oh well, I'm off to browse the net for things now... and upload the S Club 7 CDs of course ;)
Byes!

Hey guys! Well here I am, sitting here bored as hell, remembering it's my friends' birthdays [they're twins] and realising I haven't bought them presents yet... and have no idea what to get them. Mind you, I WAS concentrating on revision and recording and stuff so I was kinda preoccupied, plus they aren't having a party, so it was kinda out of sight, out of mind. Plus we haven't been at school since 20th March. And I don't see them during the holdiays. So there are my excuses all lined up =P
And I'm dying cos I haven't done nearly enough revision.
Yesterday I uploaded S Club's album Seeing Double onto my iTunes lol :D Am listening to it now... I really hope they make a comeback, it would be so awesome! Just been thinking lately how I really should've been born in America, apart from the fact I have an English sense of humour, but that's it. It's so annoying, I've never even been to America, and that's where all my interests lie. It's so completely rubbish.
Anyway, to make sure this isn't one long complaint, the rehearsal on sunday with Susie went well, although we talked more than we rehearsed, we did do enough rehearsal lol :)
So happy fools day guys! :] Byes!

Hey! Sorry I haven't updated in so long, but Nadine has finally given me the login details of the file manager, so I can edit all the time :]
So basically, it's been so crazy lately. I recorded Crazy Dreams and I guess that went ok, although it could have been much better. There are some clips on my music MySpace [which I've updated a lot, it's pretty blue now lol], and I can't be bothered to post them here so go to the links section and find my music MySpace link to listen lol.
On 6th April, I'm recording 4 songs with just my friend Susie playing guitar, and I'm doing an original song called Ready [lyrics up real soon], and 3 covers which are Bubbly and Realize by Colbie Caillat, and I Hope You Dance by Lee Ann Womack. Hopefully that'll all go ok. :] In a few weeks time I'm having the pictures done for Crazy Dreams, and then I'll be giving them out to friends and family etc [drop me a line at tennesseedreamer@hotmail.co.uk if you want to buy a copy for about £5, or $11]. Me and Susie have a neat little collaboration going on at the moment, visit our MySpace [http://www.myspace.com/vickyeandsusie]. There's not much on there at the moment, mainly because Susie doesn't know it exists yet XD
I've been expanding that story I wrote for English class, called Our Song, and eventually I'm gonna send it off to publishers and such.
It's real tough at school at the moment, what with our huge exams coming up in May and June, so I've been "studying" haha. Actually I've been playing guitar most days, since I started teaching myself to play on 13th February I think it was. I'm quite proud of myself, I've put chords to a whole bunch of my own songs, and I can now play Our Song by Taylor Swift.
All the songs I've written recently I just love, and they're inspired mostly by Taylor and Colbie Caillat... I'm pretty much obsessed with Taylor right now haha :)
They're all going on a demo tape I'm recording in the next few months, called Welwyn Garden, because they're all about my life so far in my hometown. Well, see ya later!
Love Vickye x
