Here comes the summer!


Summer is fast approaching, and I expect you have all written your summer to-do list? No? Then write one! It will motivate you to actually get off your arse and do something with your holiday. I was in need of a summer to-do list seeing as I've just finished my GCSEs and so have a very long summer. So for anyone who is interested, here is my summer to-do list – and you may steal some ideas if you like. ;)

1.      Write a book (I have already written one, but as I reread it I realised how awful it was)
2.      Write more songs (well, that’s inevitable)
3.      Learn to play the ukulele – it’s been sitting there in it’s case, taunting me for months
4.      Learn to play the guitar…properly
5.      Make a rubbish music video (just for fun)
6.      Go to the beach
7.      Do some work experience
8.      Do the Duke of Edinburgh Silver expedition…should be fun *gulp*
9.      Hold a mock Olympics – getting in the 2012 spirit!
10.  Go on Holiday (to Costa Rica) – which will involve getting eaten by crocodiles
11.  Take lots of photographs – both on holiday and at home
12.  Make a photography website with the brilliant Sharlene Gandhi http://www.sharlenegandhi.blogspot.co.uk/
13.  Go and see Meanwhile in Tinseltown live again (although I can’t because Robbie White is busy being awesome in the American show ‘How To Train Your Dragon’ -_- )
14.  Catch up on TV online (which is staying on your arse…but it has to be done)
15.  Have a birthday party (which is unlikely as I’m an unfortunate August baby – everyone is away!)
16.  Go and be artsy fartsy and look around all the London museums
17.  Buy a lot of clothes – 6th form is non-uniform!
18.  Learn to cook…I rely too heavily on my microwave
19.  Print out lots of photographs to decorate my wall
20.  Do a blog – oh, look – I’m doing that J

So, there you go – that’s the summer to-do list. Obviously I made a summer playlist to accompany most of these activities (that’s a given). And I hope my list has in some way motivated you to write your own list. Bye bye for now!

A Pointless Introduction


'Ello there J
My name’s Emily Lawson (as you can obviously see) and I’m a singer-songwriter, comedy fan, and general lunatic. I like a lot of things: Meanwhile in Tinseltown (an awesome band), cheese on curry, my guitar, my ukulele and cake. I’m not quite sure what this blog will contain? Probably photographs, music, my new songs, my random thoughts, and my devotion for Meanwhile in Tinseltown. Sorry this hasn't been very interesting – but introductions never are, are they? So, until next time, farewell blogging world.
