I just submitted my visa application!!! WOW!!! Now I’m super excited to see if I get accepted…I really hope I do so I can go to England on time for my concert! Apparently I have to give my bio-metrics details…that’s interesting. I’ve never had my fingerprints done so that will be an experience. I really hope that the Immigration services will let me enter the country on 16 August. That weekend is VFEST!!! If  you’ve never been to Vfest it is a festival of amazing music including: Arctic Monkeys, Scouting for Girls, Tinnie Tempah…etc. A weekend full of music and exciting times.

“Article 1, Section 8 of the Constitution is pretty simple. It says, ‘Raise an army.’ It says absolutely nothing about race, colour, creed, sexual orientation. You all joined for a reason: to serve. To protect our nation, right? How dare we, then, exclude a group of people who want to do the same thing you do right now, something that is honourable and noble? Right? Get over it. We’re magnificent, we’re going to continue to be. … Let’s just move on, treat everyone with firmness, fairness, dignity, compassion and respect. Let’s be Marines.”

- Sergeant Major Michael Barrett, US Marine, on the repeal of ‘Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell.’
