Light em up!
So, I'm just going to get this out of the way: PETE WENTZ I LOVE YOUR STUPID FACE
Ahem. I'm torn between flailing around (THEY'RE BACK!) and wanting to have stern words with Mr Wentz (we had an agreement: I move to the bottom of the fucking world where no musicians come ever (this is a slight exaggeration) and they have a wee hiatus until I become exceedingly wealthy and can fly in my private jet to see them wherever. This was not part of the plan, Pete.
Seriously though, how gutted am I about FOB playing Reading & Leeds, along with Biffy?
It's weird to think how long it's been- was it really three years ago that I was at Leeds with lokte watching them for the last time (and maybe crying a little when they played Saturday?). I hate when time feels both incredibly long, and ridiculously short at the same time.
Which brings me to why I'd intended to post today- it's my 2 year anniversary of arriving in Dunedin. I've had 2 very happy years, and I'm hoping to have a lot more. It's funny to hear the news about FOB today, really, because I still, and will forever more, credit Pete with the fact that I am alive to live this life, and that I have some amazing friends who I met because of him.
Life in general is going well- still counting down until we get the house, so I'm going to be boring and focused on that for quite awhile to come, I suspect (sorry in advance!). And I've been spending a fair amount of time on my nail blog (lusterforlife.blogspot.co.nz!). Last week I got my first follower which made me ridiculously happy! It's such a different environment to LJ, but I like it!
So, yeah. Life is good and FOB is back and all is well with the world. It's a holiday in NZ (Waitangi Day) so I'm enjoying spending some time with the budgies and chilling out (Beck is at work this morning). And, now, listening to FOB and reminiscing. How funny that a band can put your life on a completely different path than you'd expected.
