So let's talk about this show. It was awesome.



I worked the night before so it was one of those wake-up-and-go-to-a-show days, which is always fun. LOL. I picked up Kerri and we got sandwiches and cranked Suicide Commando in the car, since it was the most relevant thing I had in the car. It got us in the mood. It was nice out so we rolled the windows down and obnoxiously cranked it at red lights to all the people around us. LOL! =P


SO THEN THE FUN BEGINS, OKAY? So ugh. Kerri only bought the tickets over the weekend or something so she had ordered them for will call. So we go up and say we have will call, and she's not on the fucking list. The girl checks it like three times and says Kerri isn't on the will call list. So now we're getting irritated because everyone else is going in and they're giving us a hard time. Two other people working there come over to check and they can't find her, either. They ask if she has a receipt or if she'd ordered the tickets to print them out, and she didn't. She ordered from Ticketmaster. They said they didn't get any orders from Ticketmaster.

AUGH.


Can I remind you that these fucking dildos at Ticketmaster hiked their convenience fees again? So they added $7 extra PER TICKET as a fee, a convenience fee, right? Well thanks, this is super convenient, being denied and being made to look like an ass. lol. Thank you.


So the one chick was calling Ticketmaster or something to work it out so we just kinda stood there for a while and waited. And waited. Finally she just gave up and was kinda like "I don't know what to tell you guys. :(" She said Ticketmaster was supposed to send them the will call list and never did. Great.


But thankfully at that moment I noticed that the phone she was using was a Sidekick, so I was like "Hey, do you have internet on your phone? Can we just show you the email receipt????" And she was like YEAH SURE. So Kerri logged into her email, we proved to her that tickets had been purchased, and she let us in. =D!


SO THEN we walk like five feet away to go in and we get stopped by security, and they make me take off my collar!!! UGH! WHAT. This has not happened in like fucking 8 years, since I was in middle school. Ridiculous. And it wasn't even spiked, it has like ONE spike on it, and a hoop and chain. Silly. I was totally paranoid that I wasn't going to get my shit back and I sat there trying to be cute and ask suspicious questions but they assured me that it wouldn't get stolen and blah blah blah. I felt like such a tool after that, though, the collar really completed my outfit and I felt really lame without it. lmao. But then again, they took everyone's collars, so I guess we were all suffering together.



( okay but as for the show!! )

Combichrist was absolutely fantastic, easily one of the funnest bands I've ever seen.


Julien-K was equally fun and I was so fucking impressed with them that I can't handle it.




I got a black eye during Combichrist, too. My face hurts.



I'll talk about all of it later and I know I still owe you guys music.


If I don't get to it later today it'll definitely all be here tomorrow night since I don't have to work and I'll have time to take care of all that. I've just had too much shit going on lately.

Seeing Combichrist in a few short hours. Julien-K is opening, which excites me as much as it amuses me and makes me facepalm. =D!! So exciting!!!!!!


A couple months ago I got all obsessed with how fucking cute this video is and I watched it like a million times.





It would be amazing if everyone at the show is as obsessed with it as I am and we could all do the dance. I'd die. LOL!!!




Anyway. Gotta find something to wear. @_@

Maybe I'm reminded of both at once since news of both of their deaths were aired on June 25th (I remember because it's Kerri's birthday)... but I think that's it's really interesting how Michael Jackson dies and everyone is like OH WHO CARES THAT HE WAS A PEDOPHILE/PSYCHO, HE WAS AN ICON!!! and yet, you know, Chris Benoit kills himself + family and it's the opposite, everyone is like OH WHO CARES THAT HE WAS AN ICON, HE KILLED HIS FAMILY!




Weird, guys. Make up your minds. People need to stop being so full of shit all the time.



IN other words:


GREAT JOB, KERRI. KEEP KILLING CELEBS ON YOUR BIRTHDAY, IT'S REALLY ENTERTAINING FOR ME. ♥


Okay, fair enough, Benoit died like a few days before your birthday, even though he just hung around there for a while before anyone noticed. ;) I guess you're off the hook for that one.

I made the fantastic discovery today that HotTopic.com actually carries my bra size. I might stop hating this corporation so much. lol. =P How fucking exciting is that? Do you have any idea at all? Ugh. They're probably all cheap as shit but at least they're cute and have skulls and stuff on them and I can wear them for like 20 minutes at a time before they get ripped off by a metalhead who's into that stuff. =D

Also worth mentioning: Yesterday I wrote my first ever fan email to a DJ! I've written to musicians and wrestlers before, but this was the first time I wrote to a DJ. It was awesome. He's such a great guy I just couldn't live with myself if I didn't let him know. His name is Ian Christe, he does the show Bloody Roots on Liquid Metal, and he wrote Sound of the Beast: The Complete Headbanging History of Heavy Metal! HOW AWESOME. While I was on his website finding his email address I ordered his book, I can't wait to read it. =D

Sometimes I write really emotional LJ entries about my psychological problems and then I don't have the balls to post them, so I close the window, and then when I come back later to post a music survey, the restore feature brings them back and makes me go "... lol oh yeah."

The last entry I wrote started with this: Having social anxiety disorder is so ironic, it really is. Whenever I figure out a way to fix it, I can't bring myself to go through with it because it makes me too anxious. lol.


So I figured I'd just share that part and then continue on to this here music survey. Pfft.


I found it in an old LJ entry from like 5 years ago. My answers have changed drastically!




What is your favorite genre?: Metal! Or, you know, rock? In case I get snobby about the hard rock/metal line that has to be drawn. Industrial is a close second.
What is your least favorite genre?: Country.
How many concerts/shows have you been to?: 60, that I can recall.

I did a friends cut, mostly just old journals that haven't been updated in like 2 years, or people that didn't reply when I was like HEY LET ME KNOW IF YOU DONT WANT TO GET CUT. Nothing personal, I just wanted to clean shit up a little and I figured some of you didn't care anyway. SO YEAH. If I made a mistake and you want to stay just let me know, it isn't a problem.

These are from when I got my Metallica tattoo at the beginning of March, but it was when my computer was broken so I never posted them. I will now, just for no real reason. lol. Kerri took most of them, so they're mostly of me, which makes me feel vain and shy and silly and arrogant, but I guess that's what happens when I'm not the one with the camera. I apologize for the overabundance of me, though. lol.

And the artist is my friend Rob, I've known him almost my whole life! We met because we were in the same class in first grade. LOL. =D

In an effort to raise some money for a secret (amazing) cause I'm selling prints. Any photo of mine that you want = $10 for an 8x10, or closest size to 8x10.

Let me know. Whether it's from dA or even for some reason if it's a photo I posted on LJ, anything goes. Comment or email me.

I got home from seeing KoRn at 2:30am and went to wake my brother up, and proceeded to sit at the end of his bed and just bitch to him for two straight hours about what fucking douchebags these stupid idiot numetal/hardcore fans were that showed up at the show.

When I have the strength I'll go into more detail, I guess, just UGH. I can't believe that people really act like this and really think it's okay to go into a pit and just freely elbow anyone you want in the face.

I'm not kidding. I know I joke about it sometimes when I see popular bands, like OMG I HOPE THE HOT TOPIC KIDS DON'T KICK ME IN THE FACE but it really happened. They were literally doing this. Why do they think that's what moshing is? =(

OMG THE END!! =D =D

Kerri did this the other day and it was the cutest, and I loved looking at it, and it made her life look super exciting so maybe if I do it, too, my own life will look super exciting? =P I'll try. Anyway. It's a photo thing. I have some time to kill and I'm trying to wind down and relax before I go to bed so it seems to be a good way to waste time.
