OPIUM!!! Is the name of my cousin Dominie and boyfriend Steve's band. Really they're just a duo but they like to be called a band or a team. ^_^

The name is actually a perfume, they created the name over talk about what her mum got her or something.

I love them so much and am very proud of them.

The first time I went to see one of their gigs was the 1st of July. They are brillient. Tonight I went to see them again but not with my famally. Today I brought Dan with me and woot woot! He managed to bring Emma along too ^_^

My mum had just got back from shopping and both Dan and Emma walked in just behind her I was like w0wz0rz =D

Anywho, we stayed at mine for a few hours because it was a few hours before Dom and Fly(Steve's nickname, dunno why he has it) would be at the Plymstock Inn (Dan's like "Its an Inn its a sign" because we have the Baby Dragon Inn on gaia and I'm all like "Ho Snaps!" =D )

So after watching Friends and talking bout loads of conversations (Including why Dan doesn't watch the discovery channel and how good technoligy is XD ) Me, Dan and Emma made our way to the Plymstock Inn, we got there and were like "Where are they?" I tried to open the door and thought it was locked because the sign said "If your under 21 you shall not be served." it turns out the door was to be pulled and not pushed redface

I asked the bartender if the band had arrived, they had I just didn't notice because the stage was on the left and no where else. Emma and Dan followed after Emma finished talking on the phone. I saw Dom, hugged and kissed her and saw Fly, shooked his hand. I forgot to introduce Dan and Emma to them properly because they were already ready to play though Dom got us coke to drink before they did.

So we sat nearest to the stage (Like I did last time) we danced (though sat where we were) and sang, though we didn't get our voices to high. We laughed and had a great night out. The first half didn't show much enthusiasm with everyone, one song if it wasn't for me Dan and Emma there would have been no one clapping DX

Emma got a call during the last song they played, dunno who it was but he left a message which we walked outside to listen too. Whoever is was had a cockney (says Dan) accent.

Anywho it was silly and we walked back in just as OPIUM finished the first half. We gave them thumbs up and said they were doing great. They went to talk to some people. Me Dan and Emma got hungry and went to get chips (Fries) but it was to late so they didn't serve that at that time. Instead we got crisps (Chips XD ) they were big packets. =o

Wow I haven't wrote this much in ages XD

The second half started to play, there were more great songs we danced on the spot and sang alot too (again we couldn't be heard XD ) Dom mentioned people dancing after one song had finished, I dunno if she meant us or not.

There were loads of songs such as
Dakota - Stereophonics
I like the way you move - bodyrockers
What you waiting for - Gwen Stefani
A song from the beetles renewed
Superstar - Jamelia
Vertigo - U2
A song from Marilyn Manson
Loads others

She dedicated a song to me ^_^
I love my cousin so much, Fly I love to ^_^

We took lots of pictures of the night, a couple of Dan, a couple of Emma, a couple of me, me and Dan, me and Emma, Emma and Dan ect ect

We also took pictures of Dom and Fly while they were playing, and got a photo of me Dom and Fly together ^_^

I was wearing Emma's glasses, as usuall I made the "Do I look gay?" jokes. Though Dan, Emma, Dom and Fly all thought I looked like someone from Oasis

Just before the song Dakota I said "I love this song, reminds me of me and..."(someone I'm not saying) when they asked what song it was I said "Dakota, Y'know "Feel like the one!" and typical Dan sings "I feel like a woman!" XD

Right at the end of all the songs, (Fly played some excellent Guitar riffs) me Dan Emma and Dom talked, fly was packing the stuff away. Though it was mostly me talking to Dom, we got the introductions like right at the end XD

So after a great night and lots of talking, Emma's dad was already outside my house, so we had to go, we finished our drinks, got up, said goodbye and left.

We walked back to my house (dodging moths, Dan was pointing at what looked like bats, yes we get them) it was dark and kinda creepy, I was so hyper my guard was down, though it all went peacefull. Emma's dad was indeed there, Dan and Emma got into the car and went home.

I walked into my house and got on the computer to write about this great night ^_^

Its too bad Dan can't get the photo's tonight

I'll post them somewhere tomorrow when I get them ^_^

Love you all heart heart heart heart heart
