I'm unclean, a libertine, And every time you vent your spleen, I seem to lose the power of speech, Your slipping slowly from my reach. You grow me like an evergreen, You never see the lonely me at all..
[happy rant]
Ok, I'll start off coherently, because....yeahh, im all weirded out (WARNING: This WILL BE one HUGE ASS RANT...just keep in mind that i warned you when you end up like o_O at the end of all this)....
I just had two of the best days of my life. It all started when i got in the car with Tania, her mum and her little sister, to go to the Placebo concert at the Hordern Pavillion (in the city on Friday night). The car ride was fun, Tania's mum is bloody hillarious (Go the Panfers). Anyway, so we get there to see a massive line of people waiting to get into the pavillion. So, Tan wanted to get some merch and stuff, then we went in, and decided to stay in the moshpit the whole night. Anyhoo, support group were Elbow, they weren't too bad (Tania's mum thought they were awful) and the guitarist looked a little like Paige from Orgy, heh, even Tania thought so. Then finally, around 9-ish, the lights dimmed once again, and Stef, Steve and Brain made their way onto the stage. Eeeeeeeeeeeeh, the screaming was so loud...and everyone kept pushing from left to right, it was funny. Omg. Place-bo! PLAAAAAAAACEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEBBOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!! They were fucking awesome, they did two encores. EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE! Stef danced in one of them, hes the coolest. And Brian, he looked so god damn hot. Ahh. Oh yeah, we saw Rach and Elisia, who were a few rows ahead of us (that was at the start) and their roses (for Brian) made it onto the stage. I love Placebo alot more now...they've got a different sound, and i like it. Tan and I were completely bummed after that, and the car ride home was relatively quite. Came home, had a shower...and went to bed. I woke up and my nose started bleeding...very random...and my muscles are really freaking sore...that crossroads thing didnt help, relaxing but painful.
Anyway, Saturday, i woke up around 10 (not enough sleep), and did my chores. Bleh, nothing exciting of course. And a relative from Canada came over, whoopdee, it'd help if he knew who Default were, but of course not, not with my family. Anyway, i ended up sleeping a little until 5:30 (from about 4)...then i had a shower, till 6. I was meant to be at Chrissy's at 6. Anyhoo, got dressed, blah blah, went to Chrissy's, we watched Freddy Vs Jason, and ate. Yeah, Tan was running a little late too, and i forgot my concession card (Tania's mum got us concession tickets, so we THOUGHT needed proof, but they didnt even ask >.<), so i called my dad and he so kindly bought it over. Anyhoo, the car ride was fun, Christina's so weird sometimes. Sooo, we got to the Riverside theatre in Parramatta (Paz, as Gatesy called it), and looked around a little (more like we were lost, we didnt know what bloody theatre to go in...lol) and then went into the theatre to get our seats (they were pretty close to the front, we were on Yon's side, hoorah for Yon and his freakishly bulgy eyes....).
Tripod are fucking hillarious, for lack of better wording. They are fucking pissers, gotta love Tripod....and im a complete "Podster" now. Might join a community on here...is there one? i think so...anyhoo. The show was awesomeeeeeeeeee. They said they'd be signing merch and stuff outside, so we, me and Christina really, decided to stay (we all know Tania wanted to, she was just nervous, hehee, she was SO shaking). We got our "Parramatta Big Laugh Comedy Festival" programs signed by Tripod. Gatesy's so nice...eehehe, and cute too...im agreeing with Tan, and Scod is cool and Yon's eyes are bulgier in real life, how cute. Anyway, Tania got her jeans signed ("aaaaarrrrrrrrgh! Tripod touched my legs...and Gatesy went to the Placebo gig!!"), lol, shame i was wearing black pants. Anyway, there's this other comedian, Danny Bhoy, who i SO wanted to see, cause hes pretty funny (fiddle-dee-dee-Potatoes...). Well, christina, being the daring person she is, decided to look in the other theatres for his show, but with no luck. Anyhoo, we were waiting for Tan to finish getting her Jeans signed, and i saw him!! EEEEEEEEEEEEEE! He was talking to some lady...i was shaking....literally, inside and out. Omg, eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee. Thats pretty much all my brain was doing and thats all i had the ability to say. We managed to catch him and get him to sign our programs and get a photo.............HE FUCKING TOUCHED ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (my flab! HAHAHA!! MY FLAB IS NOW SACRED!! and i think i really tensed up, i coulde have SO hugged him! lol, GOD DAMN! and it's a real shame he's 28...)
Omg, i almost cried. He said he liked my name, in his little scottish accent, cause it was easier to spell than Christina's, lol. EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE DANNY BHOY.........OHHHHHHHHHHHHHH my, i was so tempted to ask for a hug, lol, but i was speechless.... (The pic turned out shit, lol, well, atleast i did....he looked very gooood, so did Christina) Anyhoo. Eeeeeeeeeeeeee, Tan decided to get a pic with Tripod too. Good old camera phones. Anyhoo. Feeling very excited, we walked outside, and Christina stole a huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuugggggeeeeeeeee ass poster of Danny Bhoy for me.....for my room....eeeeeeek. Anyway, i called Kate and babbled incessantly and incoherently....and we heard some Arabic music, and were like "yeaaaaaahhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!" and the dude in the car was like "yeaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhh!!!!!!!" lmao, funny, he was like an old man. Cool. Anyway, the wholleeeeeee way home, Tania was grinning, and kept telling us that Gatesy was at the Placebo gig. Heh. Whatta cutie...eeeeeeeeeH!!!!!!!!
And to add to that, i walk in the door to see that the cricket's on, and that my favourite cricket player scored 65...yay for him, he's been in a bit of a slump lately, big improvement on his part...although, my team lost :( oh well, there's always next time....It feels like its too good to be true, and im dreaming, and that im going to wake up and be in a nightmare, my reality....anyway, Im gonna go now...and....look at the pages that Tripod and Danny Bhoy signed for me and of course my poster......*sighs and skips off*

P.S. Thanks sooooooooo much to Tania (for inviting me to both things in the first place) and Christina (for stealing the posterr and asking Danny to sign our programs, without her, i would probably just stood there and gawked), and Tanias mum (for getting us the kick ass tickets), and my parents (for letting me out of the house).......eeeeeeee, i cant concentrate....i have two assignments and a whole bunch of homework due.....eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
....must....concentrate....must.....
I...Take the plan, spin it sideways. I...Fall. Without you, I'm Nothing.
