Updating...just for the hell of it

So, I don't have much of a life, therefore, I haven't got much of a blog. Oh well, I figure that those who are crazy enough to keep coming back to this page probably know me and know that my life consists of a few things: bumming around at home, surfing the net, chatting online or cooking; spending time at Abe's place; hanging out with Sera or Denelle; or a combination of the three. See, not much!

I wonder if perhaps I should get out more. I know some people seem to think that I should get a job, but I think they also want me dead, so that makes sense. I would, however, like to go out one night. I've suggested a few different things, but no one seems to want to do any of it...

I'd really like to find a local pub that's quiet enough to have a conversation but isn't totally dead, and that's friendly to people with goth leanings. Also, I want to have a girls night out. Finding a place that Sera, Denelle and I agree on is an issue, and finding a night when we're not busy and we've all got money is another. Suggestions are welcome!

Andrew says this blog needs sass, jazz and pizazz. I say it needs pizza...or is that just me? I'm not entirely sure how to give it any of those things, but hey, I can try!

Speaking of Andrew, I'm very thankful for my friends, though some of them drive me insane sometimes. The friends I have are trustworthy and caring. They are there for me when I need them, but don't expect anything more than just that from me. They're all incredibly different but yet similar in the fact that they like me, though I do wonder why sometimes. If anyone could shed some light on why people like me, that would be appreciated!

I rambled. Enough now.

Adieu!

It's been a while...

The title says it all. I'm slack, I know!

Jeez, I haven't updated since December! I didn't realise that it had been that long! Crazy stuff! Let's see, what's happened since then...

Well, Christmas Day wasn't as bad as I was expecting. Apart from it taking three hours to get to Murray Bridge, it was actually quite fun! Lunch was decent, my family didn't argue (surprisingly!), and all-in-all, it was quite a pleasant occasion. Dinner was also fun, we went to Mum's best friend's house.

So that was Christmas in a paragraph, minus my presents.

Since then, nothing major has happened, EXCEPT YESTERDAY!

OH. MY. GOD.

I went to Soundwave yesterday. I got to see 36 Crazyfists for the third time, and was not remotely impressed with Brock Lindow's attitude on stage. One of the first things out of his mouth was something like "I've got a fucking hangover from hell!" Now, who really wants to see a band play while hung over? At least don't advertise it! Then he said "wow, the women in Australia are HOT!" and told everyone in the crowd his hotel and room number and invited the women up to his room. Sleazy much?

Next, I saw Lacuna Coil for the second time. They were BRILLIANT! Cristina Scabbia is possibly one of the most gorgeous women in the world, and one of the best singers! As they did the first time I saw them, they blew my mind!

Then it was time for DevilDriver, who I'd seen once prior to yesterday. They were fantastic! I gained a huge amount of respect for Dez Fafara when someone was injured in the mosh pit. He stopped the band playing, told the audience to give the injured person some space, yelled at a few audience members for not letting the medics through and flatly refused to start playing again until the person who was injured was safely out of the way. Okay, maybe that was just the proper thing to do, but still, there are many bands out there who wouldn't do that! Even missing about 10 minutes of their set was worth it, as with last time, the guys put on a wicked show!

And finally, the band I paid the $210 for (one ticket was $135, and Sera and I went halves in a second one for Mum), Nine Inch Nails. I don't have words to describe what it was like seeing them! It was INCREDIBLE! It was possibly THE best time of my life and if not, it makes the top five. I thought I was going to explode when Trent Reznor walked onstage - to me, it was like seeing God himself.


I took a billion photos (not really, just under 200), they're all in my Facebook albums NIN 1, NIN 2, NIN 3 and NIN 4. Damn that sixty photo per album limit!

So, needless to say, I'm absolutely ecstatic that I finally got to see Nine Inch Nails live, but at the same time am also saddened that it's over. Hopefully they will come out to Australia (hopefully even Adelaide) some time soon!

Other than that, not much has happened at all. I now have a Twitter account (beckoned is my username, feel free to twitter at me), but I'm not sure how often I'll use it. Thankfully it's available on my mobile phone, so I -may- update more often than I expect to, haha.
