"For the first time, he heard something that he knew to be music. He heard people singing. Behind him, across vast distances of space and time, from the place he had left, he thought he heard music too.

...But perhaps, it was only an echo."



- Lois Lowry,
The Giver, Ch. 23

“What if we had ideas that could think for themselves?
What if one day our dreams no longer needed us?
When these things occur and are held to be true, the time will be upon us
The time of angels”

Doctor Who 5x04 - The Time of Angels

I'm not weird, I'm just very awkward

When you're a kid, they tell you it's all 'Grow up. Get a job. Get married. Get a house. Have a kid, and that's it.' But the truth is, the world is so much stranger than that. It's so much darker. And so much madder. And so much better.


Midget small, ultra blonde hair, blue eyed and fidgety.
I'm not weird, I'm just very awkward. The worst part of being as awkward as i am is that i know I'm doing it. I know I'm being irrationally awkward but i can't stop, it's something i swear that's been hardwired in me since birth!

If anything i'm a reader.
Weddings, school trips, family outings, family meals, birthday's and what have you, my mum would have to search and question me before such events. Because if she didn't, then the book would be hidden inside some pocket or other and as soon as whatever it was got under way i'd be found in a corner reading. That's just who i was. I'm not weird, i'm just very very awkward, i have suffered my whole life from being misunderstood, but I would have suffered a hell of a lot more if i had been understood....

-&-
Now back to the present, i'm 16 years old and slightly grazing the tiny height of 4ft 10 (yes, midget) i'm attending collage... And well lets just say it's rare now for me not to have at least a small book with me wherever i may go.

I will eventually grow up and live a life people approve of....(maybe) =P

Girls Can't Catch: Performing Echo on TV


Jess blogs: Performing 'Echo'
on TV for the first time...




The girls recently headed down to the Hollyoaks set to perform 'Echo' for the first time on TV as part of the Hollyoaks Music Show. The girls were thrilled to have the opportunity to perform 'Echo' on TV for the very first time! Jess has written a blog about the day for you all, where she tells us all about where GCC performed, what they wore and the other acts they saw!

Make sure you tune in from
11:35 this Sunday on
Channel 4!





Jess: "A couple of weeks ago, we were lucky enough to take part in filming for the Hollyoaks music show, which is a great new channel 4 programme based on the Hollyoaks set!

We traveled up to Liverpool the night before so we could be up nice and early to head over and when we went downstairs for breakfast there was another band sat next to us who looked really recognizable; but it wasn't until after we left that we realised it was Lost Prophets - who we then saw later on the show as they were appearing too!

Of course for those of you with a decent memory, we'd been on the Hollyoaks set before, so it was great to be back seeing some familiar faces and this time doing something a little bit different!

This time, our performance took place outside of il Nosh (the infamous Hollyoaks cafe). It was quite odd performing as the audience was behind us rather than in front;- which was a first for us but actually worked really well :) There were also some GCC fans in the audience who had made their way there just to see us, so was great to meet a few of them and have them there joining in with our performance of 'Echo". Watch out for a guest DJ slot behind us too…!

We really liked our outfits for the performance (I had some awesome sparkly leggings!) but the stage was on the terrace part of the cafe and it was such a cold, wet day, we were absolutely freezing! Luckily we were only required to run through the song twice before the crew felt they had everything they needed :)

It was so much fun though and I'm really looking forward to watching it back and also checking out the other artists that have appeared on the show! I think the idea of having a music show with this set up is really fun, and I already know I'll become a regular viewer :)"



You'll be able to see Jess and the other GCC girls in their star turn on The Hollyoaks Music Show from 11:35 this Sunday on Channel 4!
