The pain and the pleasure......
Last Friday me and Amanda finally made it to the 8 month mark in regards to our relationship, to be honest this was going to be quite a bit of a milestone not necessarily in regards to length but in regards to a highly stress filled week for the both of us where the smallest of differences results in some slightly major if somewhat stupid and pointless arguing. We ended up celebrating our anniversary @ Rise out of all places, we went for Shotek (w/ Walt playing too), basically an interesting hardstyle gig lined up by due to our tiredness, stress levels and work commitments it ended up being a short night and while nice to go out hearing hours of "Barwoodian Cheese" certainly wasn't something that got me too terribly excited the whole night, especially when I found out some of the stuff he was playing is not on Video Hits, oh dear.
As I've been rumour spreading around the past few weeks, I decided to take the plunge and go with my friend Aidan and his friend Jessie to see the Veronicas, having bought tickets to this gig, ensures that I've virtually sorted out a lot of the things I want to see over the next few months I think. Anyways, was nice to catch up with Aidan again, even if we weren't sitting next to each other at the concert due to me buying my tickets late. I ended up sitting by myself which felt really weird, the audience was filled up with 8-15 year old girls and their mothers, I wasn't surprised and as Amanda predicted a fair few emo kids too. I brought my camera to take pics but the batteries didn't work though. The show started and I'm still mythed as to what hurt more in regards to getting an industrial piercing through my ear or the high pitched piercing sounds of hundreds of excited teenyboppers, my god it was a nightmare to deal with even with someone who's used to so much factory noise.
Despite the whole uncomfortableness of being the only 21 year old cyber bitch in the crowd and asking myself at many multiple points what the hell I was doing at a teenybopper gig, I had a great night and unlike many other pop acts they actually bothered to sing live which is funny because Amanda informed me they didn't sing live on their TV performance that night, lol. I was surprised at how much I enjoyed the gig despite being geared more towards a rock performance rather then the synthpop direction they've been sort of going in recently but I was very impressed at how well it was done, the only shame was not being a 12 year old kid and being able to dance and jump for joy at the gig but at least I've done something like this even if it was far too late.
A few good Australian acts are set to return back to Perth next year, hopefully Pendulum but I've heard from a very reliable source Angelspit is set to come back to Australia which means a lot to me because I remember being one of the first few people to hear about them in Perth and I remember telling everyone that if more people hear this act they could be quite a big thing and unfortunately I was stupid enough to end up being a bit weak and tired to miss their only ever gig in Perth, fuck.....
In other news stress and depression did and somewhat get to me earlier in the week but I feel that it's constantly getting better but immune to lots of random spikes and dips which are annoying, I'm thinking of giving 5HTP a shot, for those who are unsure what it is, it's basically a serotonin booster and low serotonin levels are linked to high stress and depression, I believe I have low levels of it not just due to me feeling these two things but the fact that ecstasy literally has reduced and wiped out a lot of my serotonin, this might be a good repair for it, not a quick fix but a help, ironically I'm thinking about getting back into pilling, bizarre, but I guess I'm a bit of a sucker for the feeling and am being sucked a bit back into the rave scene, especially with a pretty fun rave next weekend me thinks for Insomniak, w00t! On the note of musical things, finished up my first attempt at a mix, it's pretty average and needs a lot of help from some professionals in regards to polishing it up a bit but it's starting to become a bit of an addictive hobby especially with my pretty new Skullcandy headphones, squeee!
There Wai-Con coming up and I'm pulling off my first Cosplay ever, I'm doing Reno from Final Fantasy VII/Advent Children, it's not going to look to spectacular in terms of accuracy and resemblence but it'll be a bit of good fun, the other day I'm hoping to kick some ass in a Mario Kart tournament on Saturday in my own customised attempt and my own version of an anime character, which is god damn easy considering how many people claim I'm out of an anime anyways, rofl.
NYE is going to be a bitch as me and my girlfriend are going to be in heavy arguement on what's going to happen as I've technically found a way to doof and rave via a random doof-esque party during the day that a friend of mine is organising, technically due to the simplicity and location of the event I wouldn't really say it's much of a doof really. I'd love to spend NYE with my girlfriend but I'm going to lose it if I'm being dragged along to another doof when I've so had enough of these things......
I'm very excited about the new year though, I'm just looking for so much change to take place and finding a new direction in life as my current job so simply does not do it for me anymore, a lot more focus on achieving uber amounts of cash with some very smart thinking, cautious budgeting and of course getting that dream job. Hence the whole representation of my latest user pic symbolising a somewhat dreamer like-esque attitude in regards to wanting more but at the same time with the focus to get up and go for those goals.
Last but not least yesterday was a really beautiful day with Amanda as she's shown that despite my downward trends that Amanda has proven to be a great glimmer of happiness in my life, we melted a lot of our problems away with a very beautiful and peaceful day and my god some of the most fucking awesome sex I've had in a long time. Overall such a beautiful day, shame about lots of clashing work schedules.
In regards to other people being mentioned here, I'm hoping to catch up with a lot of people coming up @ Insomniak and hopefully lots of pretty pictres of people taking from that night. Speaking of pretty pictures the other love of my life came on my driveway the other day, *droooools*
