So here's the rest of the photos from Deb's baby shower. Definitely one of my most image-heavy posts in a long time, if not ever. I'm really not sure. lol. But there are a ton. Ridiculous!

( image and silly-heavy beneath the cut )

This is what happens when I'm bored and have a camera. A ton of pics of us fucking around being goofy. Posting them for the sake of the parties involved, though obviously you're welcome to enjoy them anyway. =P

Deb's sister painted the baby room like an under the sea mural and even PUT TOKI IN IT RIGHT AFTER HE DIED. To immortalize him forever. In the sea like a viking. =P So cute.


Also, while I was getting busy with my camera, Steph was doing her math homework. SO EXCITING.

So last weekend, Steph and Kerri and I went to visit Deb in Maryland for her babyshower. Steph and Deb had never met, but in 8th grade we went on this like weeklong fieldtrip to D.C. and there was some stuff we wanted to do that they wouldn't allow, or that we didn't have time for, so we always talked about going back there sometime and doing it again. Also, Kerri's grade never got to go (AFTER collecting money and then not returning it! Bullshit, Miller Place!!) so we figured all three of us could give a big FUCK YOU to our school and just go do it ourselves while we were down there.


We drove down at night and then the next day went to the Holocaust Museum and walked around looking at monuments. OMG. Soooo interesting, I know. I didn't take a lot of pictures cause like, fuckit - buy a postcard. No point taking pictures of the same shit like everyone else. EXCEPT LINCOLN. CAUSE HE'S LIKE HUGE AND INTIMIDATING. WTF.

( OMG ROADTRIP. )

So some like middle-aged men saw me taking pictures of the cute squirrel (I took like 10 LOL!) and as they walked by they had this conversation about how funny these kids today are with their digital cameras, and how back in the day you wouldn't have wasted half your role on the squirrel when you're standing in front of a national monument. LOL. Pfft.




Next: Pictures of us hanging out with Deb, about a million from her baby shower (once I'd had a few beers and took my camera out like halfway through the party), and a bunch from THE ZOO. =D

So then what happened was Kerri and I got really hammered and ate food all night, and emerged in the morning feeling like disgusting fatasses. So we took a walk through the woods. At one point we decided to be daring and WANDER AWAY FROM THE TRAIL and we ended up finding a really cool place. =D

Mostly Kerri being sickening cute. Seriously this photos are so gay, they're like lame stock photos. LOL! But whatever, she's cute.

( People think we're lesbians. HAHA. Aww. )

So Kerri's kinda seeing this guy that we're friends with. It's hilarious to me because she doesn't drive and he doesn't have a car. So I get to drive them around and be their chaperon. Anyway so the morning of Halloween they were caught in a hilarious situation and I was called to come bail them out. I took a million pictures in the car while we were sitting outside Justin's house bullshitting before he got out.

Then Kerri and I went and got delicious burritos and ate them by the water. FUN TIMES. So this post is mostly cute pictures of Kerri, since some of you are fans of hers I figure you'll enjoy. =P

I did a lot of crap the past week, as my next few photo posts will explain. They're broken up into sections though so we start with the morning of Halloween. It was like 6am and looked amazing outside, it finally started looking like autumn here so I went out to enjoy it. I took some pictures of random stuff to celebrate, like some streets around my town and a cemetery. Since I'm such a super goth. Blah blah.

( blaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaam! )

So we ended up not having a chance to carve more pumpkins, but these are the ones we got around to. Steph and I take fancy!carving very seriously and it was Kerri's first time trying, so we found an easy one for her.

Got some pictures. Of pumpkins and stuff. I have more from carving them and our awesome jack-o-lanterns but since we're gonna do some more tomorrow I'm holding off on those ones. =P

( fill the void with violence! )

Ugggggggggh I have the WORST bangover right now. Satyricon wins the BANGOVER OF 2009!

Really, like, ugh. Kerri and I screamed and jumped up and down and danced our tits off the whole time, and now it hurts to move my head and/or shoulders. LOL!


But really like, how are you supposed to control yourself when you're hearing Satyricon live? Like listen how groovy this riff is, how are you not supposed to jump around and flail. LOL.




Also, how fuckin hot is that guy? He's such a scary little vampire. Seeing him live was terrifying and arousing and I feel like his presence just fills the entire room. IT'S CHILLING. But he's so gorgeous and sexy, and I was dying. jdklhagsg. HIS BICEPS WERE LIKE HOT AND OUT OF CONTROL AND I FEE LIKE A FREAKIN LOSER TEENAGE GIRL FOR BABBLING ABOUT HIM BEING HOT IN MY LJ BUT REALLY LIKE HOLY SHIT. LOL.




UGGGH hate these assholes. =P


I'm going pumpkin picking later (WAY LATE CAUSE IT KEPT FUCKING RAINING WHEN WE WANTED TO GO!) so I guess I'll try to go back to sleep now. The phone woke me up before so I've been fucking around online but I'm still sleepy.

It's been a really long time since I've liked an album enough to make an entry all about it. It's just not my thing anymore.

HOWEVER. WTF.


Liebe ist für alle da just like, blew my pants off, so I want to flail for a minute.


I got the leak a couple days ago but I wasn't ready to listen to it until this morning. It was just too exciting and scary - every time one of my favorite bands releases a new album I get so nervous at the last second, like I don't want to get too excited and be let down, even though I'm freaking out in glee.


At first I thought it was a little weird that they'd released Rammleid first, like it killed the ambiance intro a little, but once I was listening to it I thought it was so exciting, cause it got me so kicked in and ready to hear the new Rammstein, and warmed up for the REAL new songs. You know? It just made me so excited and WOW'd me. I hadn't realized how bad I MISSED them, and missed hearing new songs from them. God. It was fantastic. Such a good feeling. I listened to it with Kerri - I wish you guys could've seen us wiggling all around and headbanging and shit. haha.

I don't really have coherent thoughts about it so I don't want to babble for too long, it's too new and exciting right now. I just so love that they're still able to make new sounds which are totally THEM, and yet sound nothing like anything they've done before. I love the new sounds they work with and the UGH WTF BRVTAL RIFFS. WTF. HI METAL.


But yeah. I basically think it's made me the happiest person. I'm so happy with it. It's so different and so weird and so good. (AND SO METAL. LOL. =D)

WHERE TO BEGIN.

Basically, I think I don't know what to say about this show. It was amazing and some of the things that happen I'll remember vividly forever. It was really fun though.


Buckcherry opened, though, which was NOT fun. It was only fun because it was funny. They blew. Oh god. LOL! And you know what sucked? I was at least gonna like try to get hammered or something to make them more of an experience, but they wouldn't sell me alcohol! They said I have to be 25 if my license is out of state. WHAT KIND OF CRAP IS THAT, REALLY. @_@


Anyway.

So much fun, such a good time. I had so much fun also watching some of the super fans here and there obviously having such a blast, like other people that were dressed up and stuff like that. A few different people asked to take pictures with us, which was funny. There was also a kid sitting next to Dana who wanted to stare at us so bad and was fighting it because he was polite, and a younger kid in front of us who stared at us more than he watched the band. LOL! He was like, five. And the whole night, the only song he really jumped around for and shouted every word to was LICK IT UP. WHAT IS THAT ABOUT. Hilarious, I died.

Also, they showed us on the big screen during Black Diamond. HAHA. It was exciting.


Here's the setlist, if any of you are curious.


And enough of that, Idk. It was just really fun, I really enjoyed it. Justin and Dana snuck a camera in and took pictures, I'm posting some of my favorites (AND SOME VIDEOS WTFFFF!) and I think this pretty much speaks for itself, so I'm not gonna try articulating anything else. haha. There are a bunch of pics of us getting ready and I do the tongue thing a lot, since I can, and I never get the opportunity to. I have a long tongue! It's true!

( Also, fyi, I was wearing big platform boots but you never see them. They really completed the outfit though. LOL! )

Here's part 2, it's not as image heavy but it's kinda like a filler between the corn maze adventure and KISS!! And there are a million pictures for KISS so that needs its own entry.


SO YEAH. After the corn maze, we made tacos. I cut onions and for the first time ever it made my eyes water and it burned and killed. I've never had that happen to me before, it was so strange!!

And then we made cookies. LOL! We are so hardcore. We each made our own kind. I MADE PUMPKIN!






( It was dark so I had the shutter way down, so they are a bit blurry. )

So I had a particularly epic weekend, because I went to go visit justinmikehunt and wunderaliceland in Rhode Island, and then on Monday night we drove into Boston to fucking see KISS.

=D


Justin has a fancier camera than me and takes as many photos as I do so this is a particularly image-heavy weekend. For that reason, I'll probably break it into two or three posts. THIS IS THE FIRST ONE.


I drove up on Saturday and when I arrived THE POWER WAS OUT. But then we went out for dinner, went shopping, and it was on when we came back. THEN WE WENT TO GO SEE A PAT BENATAR TRIBUTE BAND AT THIS CRAZY BAR. It had a shark outside. It was diving off the roof. By the time we got home from that I was like dead from having driven all over all day and not having slept too much the night before, so I crasssssssssssshed.


And then the NEXT day? We went to a CORN MAZE with his sister. It was pretty professional - check out their website to see an aerial view of this bitch -- http://www.escobarshighlandfarm.com/


It took us an hour, it was insane. We took a lot of pictures. And then afterwards on the way home they showed me this beachy place. Oh, and the first picture of the car is because I woke up early and I was sitting around on the computer and realized this guy was just SITTING THERE IN THE CAR for like an hour, it was way creepy. It was like the feds were watching us!

( it's a cornundrum!!! )

Since I've seen like, everyone do this and I want to try! Also, Justin tagged me from Facebook but I hate using Facebook, so it goes here.



Search through your library of metal and answer each number with a SONG that has THAT word in it (if possible).

1. Dark/Darkness
Manowar - Dark Avenger

2. Blood/Bloody
Amon Amarth - Once Sealed in Blood

3. Death/Dead
Acid Bath - What Color is Death?


( holy shit and I didn't even repeat any bands lol )

Remember when Kerri and I saw Psyclon Nine in that seedy area in Brookyln a few weeks ago? And brought Joe Letz unicorns and penis whistles??! (You DON'T?! Well allow me to refresh your memory.)


Well he finally made the post about the show in the tour blog. HE POSTED THE PICTURES HE TOOK OF KERRI. SO CUTE. GO LOOK!

Oh, I forgot to say. The only thing that blew about the KMFDM show is that I got knocked in the face, not like punched or anything brutal, just people bumping into each other and I just kinda got hit, and it's totally aggravated my jaw issues.


For those of you that don't know, I was assaulted when I was 13, and was punched in the face so hard that I had ligament damage in my jaw, and it ended up causing TMD. It flares up now and then and I go for a week or so where the most I can open my mouth is like enough to brush my teeth, and don't really eat for a while. It hasn't happened in a couple years so I guess I was due. =( It sucks, I'm trying to eat a sandwich and I'm in complete agony. But I'm starving, so oh well.


Maybe for reference I'll make an entry about ~*the assault*~ one day, since when it happened the huge fuckoff entry about it was in my old LJ. SINCE I'VE BEEN USING LJ SINCE THE BEGINNING OF TIME. AKA SINCE LIKE 2000. JESUS FUCKIN CHRIST. It's why I'm like, so stuck here, it's just such a natural part of me. lmfao. It's kind of comforting sometimes knowing that I've kept LJs for so long, most interesting things that have happened to me are documented and it's like having my past cataloged. At the same time it's kind of alarming/nerdy/retarded. Whoops.



But yeah, you know. I know some of you are new to my life and some of you haven't heard the story, so maybe I'll write it down one day so that next time I make a reference to that time I got assaulted, I can link to it, and there will be no confusion. I wonder if the douche who did it to me has a Facebook. Unless he's like, in jail again. Since he's one of those people who were criminals like since the womb. But I kinda don't really want to know, I feel like I would have major anxiety if I even looked at it.

So I got back from seeing KMFDM at 3am. This isn't one of those let-me-check-in-after-the-show-and-make-an-epic-entry-about-in-a-couple-days entries, cause I don't really have any epic stories to tell about it. It was just pretty FUCKING AWESOME, so that's all I have to say. =D



Kerri and I budgeted our half hour on the L.I.R.R. for drinking, so by the time we'd surfaced from the train into the streets of Manhattan, we were wobbling, smacking each other, and laughing hysterically at everything. This guy named Raphael wearing a blazer tried to stop us to talk to us about a block away from Penn and ended walking us to the venue, which was hysterical. He hit on us and held our arms every time we reached a crosswalk so that we wouldn't walk into traffic, so funny. Protecting us. Protecting the hot drunk industrial bitches. We both looked pretty hot, if I may say so.


He'd never heard of KMFDM before and wanted to come in with us cause he was curious, but he thought it was too expensive, so we left him at the door. Immediately inside we ran into this chick Adrienne - she was my brother's girlfriend when they were seniors in high school (I was 14/15 at the time) and I can say without lying that she had a huge impact on the person I became, and if I hadn't known her at such a crucial time of my adolescence I don't think I'd have become an artist, so she's really important to me. I say that about a lot of musicians and things like that - everyone has icons in their life that molded them into who they are - movies, books, etc - but she's one of the few actual PEOPLE who had that impact on me.

I haven't seen her in two years - last time I saw her it was cause I ran into her the first time I saw VNV Nation, that was back in April of 2007. So I never get to talk to her, and so maybe because I haven't seen her so long and I'm mature enough to word my thoughts better, or maybe because I was drunk and thus, not a social phobic for a couple hours, I was able to tell her and thank her for being such a positive influence. She was so happy when I told her, it made me so happy. I told her that I just really wanted her to know, since I happen to know a few teenagers that feel the same way about ME, and it tickles me to death. haha. So anyway.


Angelspit opened, and since we were kinda trashed, it was a great time. Kerri made a friend that looked like Edward Norton and he was 43 and told us all about the shows he's been to. It was funny.



KMFDM opened with fucking D.I.Y., which I'm totally obsessed with. They're one of those bands I love listening to and yet don't really know much about, so I have no idea if that's normal, or if it's a common fixture in their live shows, but I'd been like hoping so hard that they'd play it at all, so I was so stoked that they OPENED with it. So the show just started with an immediate HOLYSHITHOLYSHITHOLYSHIT moment and then never stopped. HAHA. (KMFDM WILL. NEVER. STOP!)



Kerri and I ended up in the pit, but it was way too much, we were too wobbly and laughing too hard so we just like stepped back a couple feet from the circle and held hands for half the set, which was hilarious, we've never done that before. LOL! We were just so excited and had to squeeze each other and didn't want to get lost. LMFAO. We danced our tits off. This guy near us got so excited and started dancing with us, and we saw him outside later (he walked back to Penn with us) and he said to his friends "OMG THESE GIRLS WERE DANCING UP A STORM!!" which had Kerri and I laughing the entire ride home. lmfao.


Uh, what else. I have no idea. It was pretty much a great show, with awesome people, and it was an excellent, excellent time. We also ran into this really cute girl that we saw at Psyclon Nine and a couple other shows, we finally talked and she took my Facebook name from me haha so maybe I'll hear from her. She's so cute. It's adorable.




SO ALSO they played all Rammstein on shuffle between Angelspit and KMFDM!!!!!!!!!! I was so proud and excited, it was so fucking coool. =D




So Adrienne and her boyfriend walked back to Penn with us, it was really nice catching up, it was great to see her, I missed her. Aww. :) :) :)



Basically it was a really fun, awesome night. :)







I gotta check my bank balance - depending on how much money I have I might buy another hamster. I have to see. Toki like chewed the fuck out of the two cages he had during his life, so I'd have to buy a new cage, and I'm gonna buy an awesome one, so I gotta see how much money I have, and how much money I need to save for seeing KISS soon!!! THATS MY NEXT SHOW. AM I OUT OF CONTROL OR WHAT HAHA.


I'm not like replacing Toki or anything, cause he was the best and I'll miss him forever, but hamsters are just so fucking cute I like having one around. So cute. If you guys have any ideas for names, let me know!



There was something else I wanted to say but I forgot. Fuck.

Well. I got some bad news, guys.

Toki died. =/

I heard him wheezing and I went to check out what was wrong, and he's really old, and it was just obvious that he was dying. I wrapped him in a towel and held him, called the vet to ask if they could euthanize him, and told them I was on my way, but then he died in my arms before I got there. He was the best, right up until the end. He saved me $42. =D


Kerri lives by the vet so she came and met me, and we brought him to the beach to bury him. We had an awesome Norse funeral with a pyre and sacrifices of fruit and played Týr on portable speakers. I buried him in a really beautiful spot with an awesome view, next to a little boulder so I'll know where he is. :)


We took some pictures but I don't want to post a lot of them. I'm just gonna share one of the awesome spot and a few that Kerri took of me because my vanity over my awesome sunglasses and cute funeral outfit make me laugh and feel better. LOL! =D

He was the fucking cutest.
