No Need For Nervousness, It's Just A Little Turbulence.
Top Five: Things About Aeroplane Adventures
To me, it doesn't feel like the holiday has begun until you have made it through all the airport departments and are on the plane. Then it is time to relax.
5. The Views.
I have rarely had the chance to be in the window seat whilst flying, but they are (obviously) the best seats on the plane. I like it when you fly through thick clouds and emerge out the top on a sea of cotton wool.
4. Leaving Home.
As I am not a high-flying business person, going on a plane means just one thing - I AM GOING ON HOLIDAY!
3. Coming Home.
If you happen to have had a (slightly or mightily) traumatic holiday, sometimes it is nice to back in the plane and know that soon you will back in the land of (relative) normality.
2. Air Hostesses.
Not only do you get a warm greeting when you arrive, but they bring you drinks and food treats throughout the journey. They even allow you to do a bit of shopping should you require it. And hopefully not let you die if the plane plummets to the ground.

1. Movies.
Any excuse to sit back and watch a film is good by me. You must have noticed. It is most exciting when there is a vast array of recent films to chose from and catch up. It is like having your own personal DVD collection in your seat. Which is a bit like being at home though, to be honest.

I Remember When Rock Was Young, Me and Fifi Had So Much Fun
Top 5: Songs That Remind Me Of Reading Festival
I have had a bit of a moan in the past about Reading Festival and how much it hates me, but there have also been really good times - these are the five songs that remind me of those times. Also, to save repetition later, my friend known as The Music Guru was with me when all these events happened. And most likely The Welsh Boy too.
5. Jet - Are You Gonna Be My Girl?
Running into the tent and dancing like a loon while leaving the bags with someone else. Good times.
4. Cobra Starship - Snakes On A Plane
In a street teaming effort, we had to deposit some rubber snakes around the site in promotion of the single. I am not convinced we had much of an impact in the sales of the single, but we did leave a rubber snake on a condiments table and then ran away.
3. Dizzee Rascal - Fix Up, Look Sharp
As referenced before in a post on mosh-pit style experiences, this was one hell of a dance party! Which may have happened on two occasions, or I could be remembering it incorrectly.
2. Feeder - Buck Rogers
This is gonna sound like a random memory, but this song reminds me of needing to go the lovely toilet facilities during the Feeder set, dancing in the seemingly endless queue and then taking what felt like forever trying to find where I started in the first place.
1. Taking Back Sunday - Error:Operator.

1. Taking Back Sunday - Error:Operator.
We met TBS at the signing tent and one of them said they liked my T with a teddy on it. I have chosen to believe this was sincere and repeat this fact on a regular basis. I also love that we always get really excited about this song and no-one else does.

I Feel Like A Hero, And You Are My Heroine.
Top Five: Superheroes
From someone who has never read a Comic Book that wasn't the Beano or Dandy.
5. Human Torch.
It says a lot about how many times I have watched the two Chris Evans and co films that even my Mum knows what I am talking about when I reference it. The Human Torch is my favourite of the Fantastic Four not only because he is played by Chris Evans (I have mentioned him far too much already), but that I smile every time he shouts 'Flame On!'
4. Iron Man.
His suit is ridiculously cool and shiny. His is super rich. He is witty. He is Robert Downey Jr.
3. Wolverine.
Okay, so he doesn't get a fancy costume, or even an alter ego. But he does have Adamantium claws, which is pretty cool. He is also a bit of a grumpy old man. And he is Hugh Jackman. I'll stop that now, I promise.
2. Batman.
Whether it is super serious or cheesy and camp, Batman is always a winner. Even if I don't understand why he has such a deep voice when in costume.
1. Spiderman.
He can fly. Sort of. That is pretty cool. He is still a teenager. That is pretty cool. He is very skilled at taking out Scientists who have undertaken unruly experiences. That is pretty cool. He is now played by Andrew Garfield. This post is getting far too repetitive.

Rwyf Wrth Fy Modd Caerdydd
Top Five: Places In Cardiff*
5. Cardiff Castle.
You can walk through the castle walls and dress up in military gear. Amazing.
4. Millennium Stadium.
I have only been inside once (to see Take That!), but every time I spy the roof from afar, I get really excited.
3. Cosmeston Lakes.
Feed the ducks. Play in the park. Run away from Swans. Family fun for all!
2. Clwb Ifor Bach.
Possibly the hottest, sweatiest gig venue ever created. But always full of enthusiastic listeners.
1. Cardiff University.
I have never attended the actual learning part of the building, but have been to so many good gigs in the two venues there that I have lost count.
*not including my former housemates house. Also, there is going to be a bit of a theme.
