Random Thoughts: What's wrong with people?!?
Just a quick thought after Saturday night out. What's wrong with people?!? Seriously, why is it normal to get drunk when you go out with your friends? I thought it was a period but now they are adults and it's still the same. I like them even if they're not in my friends list but everytime we go out they start drinking and everyone starts saying that I'm the one who's wrong because I never drink. Really? Come on, why should I ruin my life for a couple of hours of "fun"? I'm sorry but it could be okay when you're young and stupid but not now (even if I see too many young, stupid and drunk teenagers around. It's sad, they start being addicted to something so unealthy so fast). I love having fun and enjoy my evening but also waking up in the morning and remember what happened with a smile on my face and not being sick. I have been working all week, my life probably really sucks but I love myself. That's it. I'd love to forget my problems, I'd love to switch off my mind and maybe sleep well for at least one night without constant thinking about everything but getting drunk it's not the answer. Never.

How to survive your first Take That concert :)
I know that around the world there are lots of people like me: never been at a Take That concert before. Just to explain: I feel at home in rock festivals with mud on my feet, I'm used to bands playing instruments without dancers, lights, giant men, water falling, Matrix coats and flashing jackets. But sometimes strange things happen and people like me go to a Take That concert: cultural shock. So, that's a surviving list for everyone who will go to a Take That concert for the first time next time they'll be on tour (if they'll be back, I haven't understood that yet).
Be prepared and you'll enjoy it since the beginning. It's like climbing a mountain: you know what to do and what to expect = no fear of heights.
How to survive your first Take That concert:
1- A week before the concert start listening to hard rock, metal, screaming bands. High-volume on. Why? Because when you'll arrive screams will seem whispers and you believe your head is going to explode. Yes, thatters scream. A lot. Great passion, good for them. Better be prepared.
2- The day before the concert watch the movie Thirteen. When you'll listen teenagers having rated R conversations about men older than their parents you won't stare at them thinking "What happened to new generations?!?".
You'll hear them and you'll think they are just teenagers, maybe the best ones.
3- Put in your bags a lot of handkerchiefs. Fans cry: when they arrive at the stadium because they're happy, during the concert because they love the song and the members of the band, after the show because it ended, the day after because it was great and they would love to do everything again from the start. Handkerchiefs...they could save your clothes from the make up of your friends hugging you because they need a good comfort hug.
4- Just keep the browser of your smartphone opened on Take That wiki page or write or print some essential notes and take them with you. People around you could start a conversation and you could do the mistake of saying out loud: "oh, but I don't know, I wasn't a fan". Just one phrase and in one second you feel hundreds of stares...100% uneasiness. Find an excuse to check your phone or to give a look to your bag and you'll be fine.
5- If you can decide where to sit/place yourself: go near a man/boy and his girlfriend. When you'll start thinking "what am I doing here? I'm a nerd and an indie rock kind of girl" you can look at him: lost, a little bit shocked, staring at his thatter girlfriend...you think you're in the wrong place? He's in a worst position than yours + looking at what he did for love will warm your heart: lucky girl!
6- If someone asks you something about what's happening on stage always answer "I don't know" and smile. Never try to give a meaning to what you're looking. Example: the lost boy of point 5 asks you "Why is one of singers riding a caterpillar?". Don't start saying "I have no idea but if it's from Alice in wonderland it could be a metaphor of finding your path and adapting to the environment around you. I really hope it's not because of some interpretations of the smoking caterpillar as a hidden reference to drug use because it's not true. That's not what the author wanted to talk about...". The poor boy would be even more shocked because of you, wondering if he needs to call a mental institution and never talk again even if he'll be even more worried when a giant mechanical man starts rising. Don't use your brain too much and smile: it is a best answer. Always.
7- Be sure to have some food rich in sugar: you probably woke up early to arrive there and in summer it's really hot + you're out of your boundaries = increasing stress. You need a rush of sugar to your blood. Drink as much as you need but remember that the audience is made of 99% women-girls...toilets...do you know outlets during sales? Yes, that's so crowded you'll prefer to go back to the hotel if you can or try to find a tree if you're desperate.
8- When the show is ended and you're waiting to go out the stadium don't look back. You could see all that garbage and start thinking "I really hope they're recycling that or at least plant trees to compensate the impact they had on Earth". And if later you can't find anything about this subject on google (= they probably don't care at all) you could even feel guilty because you were there. Okay, maybe this is just me. Pass to point number 9.
9- Remember that it's amazing to try new experiences and go out of your boundaries. Enjoy the music, enjoy the show, enjoy the people. Even if you're not a fan and you have listened only to one album you'll spend an amazing day with your friends. Maybe you'll love it, maybe you won't, but who cares? You'll have a great time if you don't think too much about what you don't like. You need to jump if you wanna know if you like bungee jumping. Same there: you need to go and then decide.
10- Don't worry about friends and people around you. They could behave like teenagers but they've grown up. They won't judge you if you are honest and say you still prefer other kinds of music. They won't stop be your friends because of this. The time when you could be classified as a loser just because you're different it's over. And, believe it or not, thatters are some of the nicest fans around. They are full of passion, they have different ages and they will welcome you in your family even if you like just half of the songs or if you look like you want to run as far as you can when you start hearing the screams. They are moms, daughters, sisters, cousins and friends. It's one of the best audience you could ever be, believe me!

Random Thoughts: Why I should hate Take That (but I don't)
This is gonna be a post divided in 2 parts. Part one random thoughts, part two a "10 list".
Part 1
We need to do a flashback: in the nineties I was a teenager and NO, I didn't like Take That. I listened to a different kind of music: Pink Floyd, R.E.M., U2, Queen, Bruce Springsteen, Bob Dylan, Leonard Cohen, Beatles and Rolling Stones, Bryan Adams... Why and how could I appreciate 5 boys dancing around in their underwear and singing pop-dance songs? I looked at my friends and at girls in my school and I didn't understand them. I'm sorry about that.
I had always been a nerd, the different one but after they came out from nowhere it became even harder to fit in. One of my best friends during that period tried to convert me. She literally used the term "convert" because she thought there was something wrong with me. She made me watch the tapes with live concerts, interviews and music videos. It was even worst...
So I could say that Take That ruined my teenager years. I couldn't understand them and they looked at me like I was crazy. Can you even imagine how hard it was? Because it was really, really, really, really hard. When you grow up you look back and realize it was childish, stupid and so on but not at that time, when all you want is to be accepted.
Then they split. No tears for me at all. When Robbie started a solo career I listened to his first album a week after it was released and I liked it. I have never been a real fan, but I could say I have been a supporter: I've all the albums but never had the chance to see him live.
End of flashback.
Last year one day I was having lunch and on tv there was the announcement that Robbie was back in Take That. I admit I didn't even remember they were still making records. I could remember Shine because radio aired it a lot and Rule the world because I loved Stardust. That was all. The day after I found out that Take That with Robbie in had recorded the new album with Stuart Price. Big surprise! I love him and his work. So it was Robbie + Stuart Price + the (no more boy)band that haunted my teenage years. The Shame duet Gary (the only one I almost liked at the time because I thought he didn't seem to fit in the band)-Robbie was nice and my mother loved that song so I gave a chance to The Flood, it was a good track and my mother fell in love with Gary since that video...(the reason why I write such an embarassing thing will be explained later).
Anyway, I checked the album and I liked some of the tracks. Then I found out that the 80% of my friends (20% are males) was planning to go to the concert and they asked me to go with them. I wasn't sure about it but 1- it was a good chance to see everyone 2- my mother would have finally approved 1 concert as she loves Gary but she can't even remember who is Michael Stipe or Eddie Vedder(-.- that's so sad!!) 3- I had never been to a show like theirs...so I said yes.
Everything went okay since the concert day. I also appreciated the Progressed tracks (X-Men soundtrack: Fassbender+McAvoy is always a wonderful thought) even if Stuart Price didn't remember he was working with Take That not The Killers or Brandon Flowers (Beautiful is Human part 2 mr Price, just to say...).
The day of the concert I arrived at the train station and I realized I wasn't ready at all! First: it looked like there was a female invasion in the city. Second: they were singing and wearing memorabilia from the past. Teenage memories. Bad. Third: I couldn't stop wondering "What am I doing here?".
I didn't stop thinking for a long time. I thought about running away when I saw my friends behaving like teenagers in love even if some of them now are married with children, when I heard the loud screams and I saw everyone crying, when a group of 13 years old girls started arguing about who was supposed to be the best in bed (seriously?!? They could be your father!!). I started relaxing only when Robbie finished his first solo song because 1- I remembered Robbie dvds as one of my friends during university had them on tv at least once a week so everything looked normal, 2- I got used to all the unusual things.
The worst part it's that I don't remember at all the Pet Shop Boys show because I was so shocked listening to the young girls explaining the sex life of Take That members... and I like Pet Shop Boys! I wanted to enjoy that moment and I didn't.
In the end I even loved the show. Probably on dvd it's even better because there were many moments where you had to turn your head and watch the big screens to have an idea of what was going on stage and if you weren't in the right position you missed many details but I really liked it.

Random Thoughts: Let's talk about love
Let's talk about love
I didn't write at all this week...first I wrote I'm not used to write diaries or blogs and then I had to work (a lot) and I spent a lot of my time with one of my friends because she broke up with her boyfriend.
I have a difficult time when this happens because right now I'm single and I also have a complicated relationship with love. I find hard to trust people, I don't say "I love you", I have a complicated mind and it's almost impossible to find someone who can understand me so well that I fall in love with him. So, when one of my friends breaks up with the loved one I have a hard time and I always talk too much, think too much, say the wrong things at the wrong time. But I believe in love. I really do! I have been in love, I have met that special one I would have given up everything for him, I had that special relationship where you understand each other so well you don't even need to talk, I felt that he was my safe place, my heaven on Earth. I had everything I could ever want and for this reason I find so hard to accept what I don't feel inside, in my bones, in my heart and in my mind that it's love. I feel guilty if I'm in a relationship I don't believe in, if I'm spending time with someone I know I don't wanna around me for a long time and so on...Yes, I'm such an idiot and maybe I'm not having fun but that's what I feel is right and I'm gonna wait for that special feeling even if it would be a long, long, long time. I know that one day I'll meet someone and I'll feel that he's right. When it happens I won't regret all the time I had to wait. Yes, again...I'm an idiot!

What I'm listening: Chasing Cars by Snow Patrol
I just need few words: perfect, beautiful, amazing, moving...I love it. One of the most beautiful love songs ever written:
We'll do it all
Everything
On our own
We don't need
Anything
Or anyone
If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lie with me and just forget the world?
I don't quite know
How to say
How I feel
Those three words
Are said too much
They're not enough
If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lie with me and just forget the world?
Forget what we're told
Before we get too old
Show me a garden that's bursting into life
Let's waste time
Chasing cars
Around our heads
I need your grace
To remind me
To find my own
If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lie with me and just forget the world?
Forget what we’re told
Before we get too old
Show me a garden that's bursting into life
All that I am
All that I ever was
Is here in your perfect eyes, they're all I can see
I don't know where
Confused about how as well
Just know that these things will never change for us at all
If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lie with me and just forget the world?
We'll do it all
Everything
On our own
We don't need
Anything
Or anyone
If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lie with me and just forget the world?

10 Reasons Why I love the Xtra Factor UK
Ten reasons why I love The Xtra Factor UK:
1- Caroline & Olly: they are an amazing team. They're funny, smart and they have a great chemistry on screen.
2- Caroline Flack: I confess I had never heard about her before (but hey I don't live in UK! Don't be mad at me!) but I totally love her style. She's smart, naturally beautiful, she always wears nice clothes, she's adorable when she laughs and all I can think it's that she is probably one of those girls loved by everyone, the ones you feel so lucky if you are friend with her.
3- The questions from the audience: funny moments, especially when the fans are on webcams and you can see their rooms and their faces! Also Gary's answers to skype audience sometimes are hilarious.
4- The interaction with the guests: it's never boring and even if the time is not so much, it's nice to see them on the studio and hear their opinions.
5- Olly's horrible clothes: (sorry Olly) not always, but once or twice he's dressed in such a horrible way that it becomes cute. The episode when olly's crotch was trending was hilarious!
6- The studio setting: I love the twitter thing floating around the walls even if I can't read anything at all.
7- The mugs: I want an Xtra Factor personalized mug. Why only judges can have them?
8- The hugs: so much love for contestants. Love it!
9- The crazy moments during auditions and the Q&A with contestants after boot camp results: great editing, funny, I laughed so much that I'd love to watch those episodes again.
10- The dance moves: I should consider travelling to UK next summer and try auditioning only to have a chance of doing some crazy dance routines with Caroline & Olly!

Random Thoughts and Intro
As I said in my first blog post, I'm totally new here. So, first thing I have to do is saying THANK YOU to my first 3 readers! I don't know who you are and why you passed by but thanks!
Let's talk about what I did on 11-11-11. I worked, updated my Linkedin profile, sent my CV around, talked 2 hours on the phone with one of my best friends who's having a bad time and thinking about breaking up with her boyfriend, read, watch tv news and had a great time in the park.
I have to confess I love parks. I love sitting there on the bench and watching other lives passing by. There's an old lady I like to watch. She walks around the park, her mind lost in her thoughts. She always smiles when you say hello and if she wants she sits down with you and she starts talking about her life. An amazing life. She had two husbands she really loved but they both died, one because of illness the other one in a car accident. She had no children: "I don't believe in destiny but sometimes I hope there was a reason for that. I wanted to be a mother but I never had the chance", she says. She has lots of interests and she is a busy old woman. She can suggest you amazing books and theatre shows. I don't know how many times a week she walks in the park but almost everytime I go she's there walking around. She's not so different from me: she finds a peace of mind in walking around. The main difference is that I like to stay still and she can't.
I have never asked her name, she never asked mine.
Anyway, I decided I'll write my posts like that:
1- Random thoughts
2- 10 Reasons why - About what I like or dislike
3- What I'm reading, watching, listening - About books, tv shows, movies and music

That's all!
Let's talk about what I did on 11-11-11. I worked, updated my Linkedin profile, sent my CV around, talked 2 hours on the phone with one of my best friends who's having a bad time and thinking about breaking up with her boyfriend, read, watch tv news and had a great time in the park.
I have to confess I love parks. I love sitting there on the bench and watching other lives passing by. There's an old lady I like to watch. She walks around the park, her mind lost in her thoughts. She always smiles when you say hello and if she wants she sits down with you and she starts talking about her life. An amazing life. She had two husbands she really loved but they both died, one because of illness the other one in a car accident. She had no children: "I don't believe in destiny but sometimes I hope there was a reason for that. I wanted to be a mother but I never had the chance", she says. She has lots of interests and she is a busy old woman. She can suggest you amazing books and theatre shows. I don't know how many times a week she walks in the park but almost everytime I go she's there walking around. She's not so different from me: she finds a peace of mind in walking around. The main difference is that I like to stay still and she can't.
I have never asked her name, she never asked mine.
Anyway, I decided I'll write my posts like that:
1- Random thoughts
2- 10 Reasons why - About what I like or dislike
3- What I'm reading, watching, listening - About books, tv shows, movies and music
