Today I got to look at many, many old photographs. I always found it kind of cool, to see how things were like 50 years before I was born. Like, my great-grandma and great-grandpa looked so happy together...it must have broke her heart when he died. My god, she's been a widow for like 23 years now. But anyways, moving on, it was quite interesting.
I'm totally pissed at mtv.de for buying the rights to this year's Rock am Ring. The first year I really want to watch it and it isn't streaming. Those fuckers are only playing a few of the acts. Meaning not Nightwish :(. At least in 2007, I had Papa Roach (even though poor Jacoby was sick...it sounded like he was really hurting himself singing, particularly in Forever), and in 2006 there was Placebo, and in 2005 there was Papa Roach again (in top form. omg Jacoby was so supremely hot back then). But the one year that I REALLY really care about seeing the performances (or at least one of them) and they stop their fucking livestreaming. Apparently the site/tv station that usually airs it wants to show up to 10 hours from the performances over the course of the summer, so I'm desperately hoping for some Nightwish in there. At least there will be Wacken and Bloodstock filmed (as far as I know).
Also, Anette cut and dyed her hair O.o. It doesn't look bad, just different. Besides, I'm partial to red hair, as some may have guessed by the fact that my hair was a semi-reddish colour for close to four years (though I just dyed it like two days ago, so it is not any longer...I foresee red again in the future of my hair colours, though). AND EMPPU IN BLUE IS TO DIE FOR! And Marco's socks are pure awesome. And and and :p
Well, Tuomas and Jukka are ceaselessly awesome. AND SHEXY!
I uploaded for your listening pleasure my top 3 albums at the moment XD. Enjoy while I keep the links up.
I IZ PIRATE!
Dark Passion Play
The Heroin Diaries Soundtrack
Getting Away With Murder
Guess what? All three of those singers have hot, hot voices XD. The little shiveries I get from Jacoby's voice are far superiour to either Anette's or James' shiveries though. Oh, Jacoby, how I would die for you. :p
I picked up my PRoach/Sixx:A.M. tix today! OH THE HAPPINESS!!! Shit seats, I'm still sad about that, but oh well. MY MUMMY MIGHT GET ME A MEET AND GREET! and that is fucking amazing in and of itself. And a real one, not the shit one that Nightwish had. Speaking of which, I found out I could just hop on down to Ticketmaster and buy tix for Seattle there. So I think I will do that sometime during the week. I have to convince Holly to go to the concert with me, because it would be uber awkward to go with my dad. At least Holly and I are more like friends than "she's a parental figure". It would still be WEIRD, but less so. I could just ask Amanda I suppose...though that might be even more awkward since she's like 3 years younger than me, and probably has never even heard the name of Nightwish, and shares virtually no interests in common with me anymore, and also, the only reason she used to be friends with me is because she was using me. At least Shanel had heard of them, and heard some of their songs too, for that matter. I don't know, but my mom won't let me go to the concert alone. I'd still meet up with Joe, and he and I decided we would wait for many many hours in line, because we do want front row after all, and then he said we'd go looking for some of the band members after too. I'm really hoping he can go.
And now, because I feel like it, A MEME.
When you're having a bad day, what comfort food do you reach for?
Ice cream.
Do you have an item that is your good luck charm?
For exams, I bring something small that means a lot to me, on the off chance it might indeed bring luck, or at least keep me from hyperventilating.
Does global warming and the hole in the ozone truly bother you?
Nah, I'm liking that our winters are less cold. Though the fact that it took until today for summer to be here is mildly irksome.
How many times have you moved in your lifetime?
A lot of fucking times. I lost count. We used to move every year.
Do you watch professional wrestling and is it real?
I don't know and I don't care. And I don't watch it.
What's the regular unleaded gas price where you are?
A buck thirty two point nine per litre.
Do you know someone who's been injured in Iraq?
No.
Do have smoke detectors in your home?
Of course.
Would it be easy to erase YOUR identity?
Probably.
When your mind wanders, where does it go first?
I don't know, it depends on what I'm predominantly focused on at the time. Like lately it's been going to getting a job, or just worrying over not being able to go see Nightwish after all.
What did you do on your first date?
It never was official.
Who was your first best friend?
Sinikka
When did you first realize that life isn't easy and fun?
Grade 6 when all that shit went down and the family got all broken.
The last thing you thought about before you fell asleep last night?
I totally don't know.
The last thing you'd find yourself wearing?
Any kind of fetish outfit O.o.
What will be the last thing that you do today?
I don't know.
What is the ONE best thing to do when you need to relax?
Guitar. Or just laying on my bed with the music on full blast.
On average, how much time do you spend on the computer everyday?
Way too fucking much. Funny thing is that it bores me out of my skull, and yet I still stay on.
How would you react if you had to spend a few months of your life on a bus?
What kind of bus, first of all? If it was public transit then I would probably off myself. If it was a comfy bus, I would be alright as long as I had books, my mp3 player and a charger for said mp3 player. Well, and food and drink and stuff.
What do you look for in a friend?
Sense of humour, honesty and reliability.
What makes you hate someone in particular?
If they did something to me that would make me hate them.
Would you still like your boyfriend/girlfriend/crush if they gained 20lbs?
Yeah...how shallow do you think I am?
What makes you jealous?
I don't really get that jealous, but different things can set it off.
Is it wrong to stereotype and bash someone because of how they look?
It's wrong, but that doesn't mean I'm going to stop and it doesn't mean that anyone else is going to stop.
Honestly, have you ever made a racist comment?
I have. Though in actuality I'm not racist, sometimes one gets caught up in a moment (many other Manitobans would be able to relate, in regards to what my racist comment was).
What is something you are trying to work on?
I have a list.
Why do you think people forgive their friends after they have faulted them?
Because people like to feel comfort that they have someone there for them. No one really wants to be a loner.
What is something people lie to themselves about?
A hell of a fucking lot.
What is something that married couples make mistakes in?
Lots of things.
Do people know the real you?
Not really.
What do people think of you?
I don't WANT to know. Every time I find out, it hurts for years after.
What is the most beautiful thing about nature?
The freedom it (re)presents.
What's the best thing about you?
I doubt there is anything good about me.
Do you ever look at other peoples point of view? (Like your parents)
I try to.
What is something about your best friend that bothers you?
Best friends are fucking overrated. I don't have one.
What is something about all your friends in general that you don't like?
I never know what they say about me when I'm not there.
What is something that bothers you about hopeless romantics?
Their naivety.
What is something that other people probably don't know about you?
They don't know things for a reason, and I'm not about to share that over an online blog, sorry.
What is the past to you?
A fucked up series of events that led me to where I am today (which isn't a bad place, I might add).
Do you like things to stay the way they are, or for change to happen?
I acknowledge that change can be good, and some changes are for the better, but that doesn't mean that I go through the process well.
What is something that you should do to make a better tomorrow?
There are a few things I could do, but I'm not about to do any of them.
Will you even bother trying to make a difference?
I have tried, it just never seems to work.
When was the last time you cried in front of a bunch of people?
Grade 7.
What do you have to say about what happened that day?
It was one of the shittiest days of my school life.
When was the last time someone said sorry and MEANT it?
I don't know if anyone ever means it. There's no way for me to know that. As for myself, I mean it almost every time I apologize.
How old do you think you act?
It varies.
90 minutes later - So, I just finished watching the orgasmic musical experience called "Live & Murderous in Chicago" and I have had some thoughts. I think, performance-wise, Nightwish and Papa Roach are pretty much equal, the difference being that Nightwish interacts more with each other, whereas Jacoby is fucking killer with the audience. Yeah, the Nightwish guys (and gal) are absolutely amazing with the audience too, but Jacoby goes into the audience and sings, he gives people hugs in the middle of the show, he puts the mic to people's faces and has them sing for him. It's amazing to watch. There's no sing-alongs at a Nightwish concert, just the little "hey, hey, hey" things. That being said, Jerry and Tobin virtually DON'T interact with the audience at all, and stay on their respective sides, where Marco and Emppu are all over the stage and Emppu in particular is tossing out picks left right and center. Coby has tons of energy, and I guess that kinda makes up for it. He does have A.D.D. after all, and it's totally obvious in his performance, like how he beats his head with the microphone occasionally. That guy's amazing though. Even at giant festivals like Rock am Ring, he gets the audience right into it and has sing-alongs and everything going there too. FUCK I HOPE I GET TO MEET HIM.
Oh, and that DVD is totally sexlicious with all those fantastic Jacoby-package shots ^.^
DAMN! I have to call my dad/Holly before they go to bed, since it's like 9:30 their time, and Holly's prone to falling asleep at the same time as Aiden, lol.

'Cause everything is nothing
And emptiness is in everything.
This reality is really just a fucked-up dream,
With the flesh and the blood that you call your soul.
Flip it inside out,
It's a big black hole.
EDIT: WHAT THE FUCK. Their number isn't in service. This means that they moved and didn't feel the need to a) inform me or b) give me their new number. Please excuse me as I go slit my wrists because my father doesn't love me :(
I'm kidding. I can't handle physical pain anyway, I would never make it as an emo :p
2 comments:
You really are obsessed with those meme things aren't you?
And lol, Marco's socks were rather amusing. But honestly, socks and sandals? Sometimes I wonder about people. But of course that's just me. :P
"Do people know the real you?
Not really." <----why not?!?!? hmmmm?
Who's the real Danika? I'd like to know. You're too secretive sometimes.
Chantal's wise words of the day: Say no to secretiveness. *wise nod*
I forgot to mention my other wise words which are: SAY NO TO EMO!
And you did! So YAYNESS for Danika!!
Okay I'm done now.:P
Toodles
