Words, words, words.
This is likely my last post in this journal. My paid account has run out, and so I'm moving my focus to Insane Journal. Feel free to friend me there, if you like.
The other topic for discussion is my birthday. It was yesterday, and was wonderful. I recieved the big things I had asked for, and more.
( Collapse )
All in all, a nice way to grow older.

Public Service Announcement:
I am not really updating livejournal anymore. If you have an insane journal, you can friend me over here. I'm not on as much as I could be, instead pretending to be Duff McKagan and Kerry Hatch.
I'm still reading over here, however, and will be keeping this journal open to comment on other people's entries.
Final parting note (for now): Velvet Revolver is hot.

I'm rarely happy to be broke, but this weekend I splurged on a couple of PSPs. Used, since I'm too poor to buy us new ones, but still...
So now, I have a PSP (lovingly named Sasha), a memory card (named Milla), and a couple games. And the Sib has a PSP (named Raz), a memory card (named Lili), and a couple games.
That is all.

I'm waxing poetic again.
Over the past couple of weeks, I've made a few musical discoveries with the help of people like
itchy_ishida and
abeilledeverte. After being sucked into Metalocalypse, my love for metal reignited. I've been craving it: the clean guitar, lyrics being growled to me, the constant tap of the drums...all things that combine and create metal. It's fusion, cohesion, something to be amazed at. And with the aid of someone's Last.fm, I've been able to pick and choose who to listen to.
Next stop: Gorillaz. I'll start by saying that I love Damon Albarn. I have since before I knew who Blur was. Anything he touches is golden, and therefore, I love it. I'll follow up with the fact that I love the idea of fictional bands. Especially when the creators go through lengths to make the creations seem more realistic, such as putting out books about them, and DVDs, and scheduling live performances that really leave nothing to be desired. Mmm, Gorillaz. And LOLZ @ Murdoc's Flying V.
Continuing on, VNV Nation. They're tagged as industrial, but I'm not really feeling that. For me, they're like a beautiful blend of VAST and Tool. Freakin' awesome. I can't really begin to describe how happy listening to a track like Genesis makes me, but suffice to say, I really like it.
I've rekindled my love affair with Phil Collins, too. Something about the Tarzan soundtrack makes a wave of calm settle over me. I laugh, I cry, and I love the music. It's something in the way Mr Collins writes his songs that does it to me every time.
Also, Alice Cooper has the best version of Because (originally by the Beatles). And the Bee Gees did my favorite version of She's Leaving Home that I've heard yet. Something about robot girls and visuals to match the lyrics.
Maybe some day, I'll be able to put into words how music makes me feel...

Big Trouble in Little China is made of win.
I bet y'all want to know what sort of loot I got for my birthday...
Lateralus (Tool)
Futureperfect (VNV Nation)
Stormblåst (Dimmu Borgir)
Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band (Peter Frampton/ The Bee Gees)
A new pair of jeans
A green tee-shirt with little bitty polka dots
Oscar the Grouch backpack/purse
paid LJ for a year and extra icon space*
a super cool, fuzzy, very warm jacket
a red wristlet
a monkey box with monkey cards
and if I forgot anything, I'm sorry. Thank you, everyone, for the birthday wishes.
*As I now have all this extra icon space and few icons, I'm taking suggestions for what to fill it with. As a bonus, if you make me an icon (or more), I'll draw you something of your choosing- nothing fancy, just a doodle, but I'll draw for you.
