We do Soul Limbo in the band (the cricket theme)
Fleetwood Mac - The Chain on the F1 is an absolute brilliant song!

Carnivals and things similar to that are different, you get different people. We played a gig a couple of weeks ago and it was one of the best gigs I've done. Everyone was up dancing and singing along. It was brilliant!!
Last year at a torchlight possession...we won a prize for the 'best marching band' How I don't know...as we were on the back of a lorry!!
-
Yeah, there were loads of people yesterday!
-
Luckily we've only had one wet one, if it does rain we can't let the pans or anything get wet as it would ruin them!
-
We've had three or four carnivals this year with the band. Today has been the best one I've done all season.
-
Had our last carnival of the season today. Played none stop for 2hours of the back of a lorry
-
Attached is a video of the band at one of our practices. The song is The Great Escape.
It's part of 3 songs but put all together; the first one being Chariots Of Fire then The Great Escape then Soul Limbo (AKA the cricket song to us)

If that's what there called..then yes. They were ace

I've gone from feeling happy to feeling down, happens quite a bit. Doesn't help that mum is tied up with doing something for work, so can't really talk to her. The weather doesn't look brilliant for this week, could be in for some thunder, which I'm not keen on....and its just sinking in that I don't have to go to school ever again, I should be feeling happy, not feeling like this!
Time like this I could really do with a friend to talk things over with.

Two of the main interests I have are music and tracking storms i.e tornadoes in America.
I love discovering new artists and will listen to pretty much anything, some of the ones I have come across are, Aynsley Lister, Tyler James (He was on The Voice this year. I discovered him before the program was aired) Lady Antebellum, The Gabe Dixon Band...oh..I can't remember anymore, got a brain like a sieve.
Be happy to hear any suggestions.

One thing with the drumming side of things is that we both share the interest and I would say that's helped a bit. My mum thinks that he feels guilty and possibly ashamed...but he would never admit it.
-
Thank you both for replying.. my relationship with him is getting better but he does have his moments (he is man though) I think he thinks it's just something that I'll grow out of, we've tried and tried over the years to explain to him but it just doesn't seem to go in. Glad I came on here to. Every so often I need to clear things off my chest...I think mum was running out of things to say to me!

Just going to go on a quick rant... (I Apologies now)
When I was four, my dad left my mum for someone else, it effected my sisters and brother badly but because I was only four I didn't understand what was going on. I saw him every other Saturday and that was about it. This last year or so I have started seeing him more often...as well as my..delightful step mum.
Lets just say, he's not the most understanding person in the world, also quite selfish and while I'm at it a bit of a twit. If I'm having a panic attack he just tells me to get over it and stop being so silly; not the most helpful things to say while I'm struggerling to breathe.
..Arhh...this is quite hard to type, I've got it all in my head but can't seem to write it out.
Sometimes I find it helpful to go on a rant about him and his wife...its harder than I thought..writing it down now...I have so much on my chest and in my head that I want to say. I want to talk to someone who isn't a family member for a change or have to pay £60 to talk to someone for an hour. This is when I could really do with a friend.
Rant over...for now!
Sorry once again.

Playing the drums quietly is one of the hardest things to do. We played a gig a couple of weeks ago in a small room, they wanted us to play quietly....I couldn't! My dad is a drummer and he never plays quietly!
-
...I use to have an obsession with stairs (Don't ask me why) I like watching passenger airplanes land and take off but wouldn't say it was an obsession.
-
We play all sorts of music. Things like Queen, the beatles, ABBA...loads more but my brain has failed to remember....we're looking at learning some new songs when we're not so busy with gigs.

Well, I'm 16, got diagnosed with aspergers two years ago after nearly a year of waiting for the diagnoses. I managed primary school OK, it was when I moved onto secondary school that I really started to struggle, I lasted two terms and got told by a 'health professional' not to go to school as it was causing my depression, anxiety and panic attacks. So, I was out of school for three years...I didn't do much at all, I spent quite a lot of my time with my sister and my nieces, the rest of the time was spent in my dads office watching DVDs...I watched..just a few DVDs over the years!
After I eventually got my diagnoses we came across this Education welfare officer (I think that's what she was) who managed to get me back into school one morning a week but to only stay in the learning support room away from the rest of the school. I managed it with the help of my therapist who stayed with me for the hour and a half I was there. I then upped my hours and my days and finally managed to go in by myself but had the same one to one teacher, which helped. This year has kinda gone to fast for me to fit everything in i.e exams, I did exams on the internet through edexcel, I did Level 1 and 2 English and passed them both, Level 1 maths I did in January but failed the first time so had to re - take...I just past that by one mark. I took my Level 2 maths last week and am still awaiting the results...I know what it's going to be as I guessed every flipping question. I also did entry level geography but wont find out my results till next year.
With being out of school, I lost the ability to make friends and meet new people, so apart from work friends, family friends, I don't have any real friends that I can talk to or go and do things with. I'm not interested in drinking, make up, trying to be someone that I'm not. I want people to see me as who I am not someone I'm not.
I joined a local community band as a drummer and am loving it, we have gigs pretty much every weekend, after next weekend we should start calming down. It's given me confidence that I never use to have and all the people in the band are very friendly and have helped me with every gig. I was so nervous on my fist gig but now I just get on and do it...doesn't matter how many people are there.
Anyway, believe it or not, there's more...but I wont bore you all.
I'm looking forward to Tuesday afternoon after the final review meeting and I step foot out of the school doors and never look back, to forget school ever happened.
Lizzy.

I'm 16 years old and have Aspergers. My mother suggested I join this forum but not sure how to use it.
Have other people my age found it useful?
