Rock @ MindSay

I got back from Corpus Christi about 2:30 in the morning. It was a great show. A band called Graveyard opened the show. They sound like a '70s classic rock band. I was shocked to find out they were from Sweden.

Next up was a band called The Sword. They are from Austin. They sound like an old school '80s metal or thrash band. I guess you could compare them to early Metallica.

Then Clutch came on and blew everyone away. They played songs from their entire catalog. They had a nice little pit going up in the front. Thrashing around and slamming into people for an hour can change your whole perspective on shit.

All in all it was a great time. I heard some cool music, got some exercise, drank too much, bought a cool shirt, ate some Whataburger and came home.

In 24 hours or less, I will be getting bruised by a few hundred elbows.
I will be covered in sweat, most of which will not be my own.
I will be stepped on by a huge herd.
I will lose whatever remnants of my voice my teaching career hasn't killed in the past week.
And I absolutely cannot wait.



thank the lord for concerts. <3

 It's interesting to think about the many things we do and do not notice daily. For example, have you ever noticed that, in most cases, a sponge seems to always have soap in it, even when you first buy it.
It fascinates me how much we calculate in our minds, and how much a potentially busy life could block it out.

What was your closest friend wearing today?
Mine was wearing a black sweatshirt (His baby blanket, as he says), and underneath was a shirt claiming, "It's all fun and games, until the flying monkeys attack.". On it, it has two monkeys and a person being attacked. He also bore a pair of jeans, slightly baggy. I can't recall his shoes, though. I assume they were black.

What was your worst enemy wearing?
I don't know who my enemy would be, but I'll just assume he's one of the dudes on the opposing team when we were playing basketball. He wore a black shirt, with some sort of band name, or logo on it, and tight jeans. He even showed off his pink boxers to us all!

What was the most interesting conversation you had today?
Ah... maybe... explaining to my school's secretary that I truly did miss my kindergarten years. I wish I was back to then. We sung songs every day, and I recall a project having to do with the weather. We were given salt rocks for hail, and the teacher practically fought us off from eating them.

Arrg! This is turning into my very own little quiz! No! I don't want to quiz myself!

Stray Cats... Good Band... But up until a few weeks ago i've been singing the song with the lines "Pinko's scream 'n shout!!" But I found that it was "People Scream 'n shout!!"

Dixie currently feels:

 Roxxorz!

Ach, what a gap.

How long HAS it been?

Dixie cannot be arsed counting the white numbers without clickable links.

 

But yes, tis all thanks to the legendary poster Animalluver, only Catluver to me on Mindsay now.

(Argh, that's going to confuse me.) (I'd call her by her total, but I dunno if she'd like that. :D)

 

 

Well... In July, nothing really HAS happened.

 

The only major life-changing event was when I suffered a 4-week long period, and got sent to the doctor's. They assumed I was anaemic, and said I needed a blood test.

So being the tyranopanophobic that I am, I waited in dread - losing more sleep at night than I normally do.

 

On the night before the needle, I didn't sleep at all. I started a new save on Pokémon Sapphire and played it all night, on my DS - with these headphones my mam got with her phone.

 

OH MY GOD, THEY'RE WELL LOUD.

They proper blow your head off.

 

Nothing better than cranking the volume up to full every time a Blackbelt or a Psychic challenges you. - My word, their music is legend.

 

So yeah, I went to the doctor's - and the nurse had given me a local anesthetic cream beforehand, so that got lobbed all over my elbows - and my arms were numbed for the whole day.

Right, so I couldn't feel the needle - but it's not the pain of them that scares me.

 

But either way, the nurse was talking to me like I was a really little kid - so I felt really small and weak, helpless and that. But she was nice.

Actually, there were two - the first one had to call for a second because my veins are really deep.

 

But yeah, I think mam was feeling a bit sorry for me after that, so... She took me into Morrison's and bought me some Rolo doughnuts.

Oh, they were NECTAR. Chocolate topping with chocolate 100's&1000's, and caramel in the middle. *Orgasmz*

 

 

But over the last couple of weeks, I've done nothing but stay awake till 5-6AM, go to sleep, wake up between 2-4PM, eat stuff - go on the forums, watch Big Brother - rinse, repeat.

 

How boring am I. :)

 

Oh, and speaking of rinse, our fucking shower's broken.

I FUCKING HATE BATHS.

I proper don't feel clean afterwards, because I can't rinse my hair properly. ARGHHHHHH...

 

 

Mam bought me Guitar Hero: On Tour on Monday. :)

It's a lot harder than the games with the actual guitar, I'll admit that.

 

I was really doubting it at first, because there's a lot of shit songs - but as soon as I got to level 4, the Greek Arena...

OH MY WORD...

 

First, we've got some crazy jazz shit about cats! That's Stray Cat Strut, by... The Stray Cats. Rofl.

 

Follow that up with some ZZTOP, MUTHAFUCKERS!!!

La Grange! It's on Guitar Hero III!

 

Another song from GH3, we've got Black Magic Woman!

(And for some reason, they censor the word 'devil'...)

 

BUT OH MY, THAT'S NOTHING!

BEAT ALL FOUR SONGS, AND YOU GET THE FUCKING ENCORE!!!

 

- THEY CALL US "PROBLEM CHILD", WE SPEND OUR LIVES ON TRIAL, WE WALK AN ENDLESS MILE...

WE ARE THE YOUTH GONE WILD!!!!!!!-

 

I've downloaded that song, about... Well, it was about 8 hours ago now?

Well, it's already got a play count of 45. :D
