Is anyone passing this feature thing on? Seriously, people... pleeeeeease continue this.

A couple of weeks ago, I had the pleasure of meeting my new good friend ~ZOMBIES-and-MADNESS when her family came to my fair state of South Australia for Motocross and, in her case, an amazingly epic twelve-hour Aussie heavy metal gig. She turned out to be even more awesome in real life. Most excellent.

The gig was absolutely fanfuckingtastic; I need to get off my ass and write up reviews for the last three gigs I went to. >.< Alice was WEEKS ago, and I haven't gotten around to it. Highlights of Against the Grain 5 included stealing Jacob's pizza; chatting to Jase from Octanic and Mickey (who shall forever be known to us as Keafy) from Deafening Silence, and most of Arcadia; seeing Skintilla for the third time and Octanic for the second; the bass player of Claim the Throne kicking me in the face; sneaking out for Macca's; drinking waaaaaaaaaay too much water; attending my fourth gig with my good mosh buddy Luke; spending too much money on T-shirts and CDs; being the pack mule; the Irish dancing going on in the mosh pit during Claim the Throne's set; bitching about how LORD should have performed their Kylie Minogue cover; and of course, the epic headbanging line consisting of myself, Jacob, Luke, Bekk, Kyle and Alex, the random stranger we hung with for half the day and night.

I left with three T-shirts and two CDs. 'Cos when you go to a gig like that, you ALWAYS have to spend more money on merchandise than you did on the ticket. It's just what you do.

Alice Springs was fun; I rode quad bikes and camels, I was groped by an olive python, I ate crocodile and emu, I spent more money on postcards than anything else, and got plenty of birthday wishes and phone calls. (Not from any of you guys, though... T^T Except you, Bekk, you crazy stalker-type-thing, you!)

Oh, and one more note - I have a boyfriend. We've known each other for about a month now, but we've been a "couple" since September 20th, so... yeah. It makes me feel pretty damn happy ^^ He calls me up to three times a day, he's a total sweetheart, he gives the best hugs... he treats me like a goddess, and already he's been better to me than the last prick-of-a-boyfriend ever was.

That's about it, folks. Any questions? Throw them at me, no matter HOW random!

Are you following my music blog yet? You should be!

Against the Grain 5, bitches. \m/ I already mentioned it above, and will be writing up another blog someday soon (hopefully) to talk all about it.

Next stop is Eyefear, Black Orchid, Quest and Satoria, Friday October 9th. Hopefully I'll be able to go; it's only twelve bucks, why shouldn't I, eh? Mind you, on the Sunday I'll be off to Slayer/Megadeth, because the best father in the world bought me tickets for my birthday! And THAT will be a tough gig to beat. Sadly, I'll be missing out on Arch Enemy in November, as well as Lamb of God in December. Ah, well... can't win 'em all. I'm so fuckin' stoked about Slayer, though. Seriously. That will be amazing.

iTunes stats: 178 artists, 10780 songs, 68.27 GB, total play time 34 days, 1 hour, 32 minutes and 56 seconds. And counting.

I have an epic list of shit that needs drawing.

I should update it. Or at least get around to working through it. >.<

Haven't had much time to do anything for myself, but I akm working on a few things. So, you'll see something eventually.

Come on peoples, comment damnit!

I was featured by =kiwi-damnation, so I'll feature her first.

1. is a form poet I met when she hosted the December Forms Challenge, a celebration of poetic forms. She also creates fractals, visual poetry and, recently, photo-manipulations.


2. , AKA Jen, is one of my closest friends on DA. I'm particularly fond of her unique dragon concepts and drawings (and she's drawn me some pretty epic shit, as well! XD)


3. is one of the most fun people I've ever talked to. The quantity of her work astounds me, and she has some great pictures in her gallery. Check THESE out:


4. has been a good friend to me for a few years now, and her character "Elfy" is one of the most adorable things I have ever seen!


5. is my geek. Yes, you read that right; I have adopted him as my geek. A jack-of-all-trades so to speak, Adam has dabbled in just about everything.


6. found me randomly through a mutual Alice Cooper addiction. A comment left on a four-line poem of mine lead to a conversation regarding how Alice is overlooked all too often these days, etc, etc... Check her out. She doesn't bite. Hard.
