I don't know if I ever mentioned it here, but I used to be a huge fan of an Italian band called Pooh when I was 13-14: I listened to their songs all the time, went to 3 of their concerts (my very first concert was one of their shows actually), I even joined their fanclub. I recently realised that they were my first fandom, even if I had no idea ( Read more... )

Taking a break from Snowflake to write down a short entry about journaling. I recently had to check some dates for something work-related, and I thought: "I wonder if I wrote about that on LJ/DW?" And, sure enough, I had written about those events. My DW/LJ posts tend to be mainly fandom-related these days, but I really should make an effort and at ( Read more... )

And, thanks to schwimmerin, I found out Die Ärzte have a new song! Just in time for my ( Read more... )

I've just got home from Florence. I should probably start the washing machine or maybe go to the supermarket and buy some food, but I need to type this all up ( Read more... )

It happened. It really happened. The short version is: OMFG IT WAS F***ING AMAZING ( Read more... )

I finally bought train tickets and booked a hotel in Florence. I panicked a little at first because, being the queen of procrastination that I am, I waited so long that most hotels near the centre were fully booked or only had availability for one night (I'm staying for two nights). And the ones that did have available rooms had outrageous prices. ( Read more... )

What did I say about "fate throwing as many concerts as possible my way and daring me to see them all"?

Ticket for The Cure bought! :D It wasn't cheap, but neither was it outrageously expensive ( Read more... )
