Probably there are too many parentheses in this. I'll try and weed them down later.

Urrgh. So. Big Day Out, yesterday. Was pretty darned good. Except then for whatever reason, I woke up this morning with the headache from hell and basically only resurfaced into useful forms of consciousness at 6pm tonight. Like I said to my parents, seriously, why do I always get sick on the WEEKEND? I mean, it's nice that my immune system has

Dumb question, but I'm genuinely curious: is Shihad, of whom I'm embarrassed to admit I've never hear, the genesis of half your LJ name?

Also: Narnia shoutout FTW.

:D

Not at all a dumb question, and yep, they are - I picked up my screenname back in 2000 because of them and basically used it everywhere (before that it was jenos idanian, guess where that came from :D :D) and so when I joined LJ I just went "ah, fuck it, I probably won't keep doing the LJ thing very long so who cares about thinking up a creative new name or something" and hahahahaaa, almost seven years later, I can't imagine changing it, even if I *do* regularly cheat on them with other bands now. (But I keep coming back!)

*grins* I can't help myself, man. (It was you, wasn't it, that I had the Narnia-geek-solidarity moment with at MJ, right?)

Excellent! What sorts of music do they do? (They're quiet treacley New Age, right? Right? Hello?)

*nodsnods* One of many happy things about you, honey.

They sort of range from almost-pop-y stuff (third album, what Jon describes as "when we were smoking a LOT of pot" *snort*) to mostly bouncy arena rock type of stuff. I actually mean to do a pimp post with uploads and all fairly soon cos I haven't done so for a good two/three years, and I'm about three fandoms worth of new people since then who would not necessarily have any clue.

YESPLZKTHXBAI.

ahem.

Why, how nice. That would be lovely.

*adores you right the hell back*

*griiiiiiiiiiiiin*

I also realised that a bunch of you are probably unaware of just WHY it ended up being my screen name. Am going to do a "ten things I expect people already know about me" post shortly containing that, too.

:D :D

Brills. I await it with baited breath. (Vegetarian bait, of course, so not much good with the fish-catching. But my intent is pure!) (For once!)

[shihadchick]

HEEEEEEEEEEEE. Nice. :D
