Picking Up The Pieces

The past couple of days have been pretty shit for me. Scooby got sick Saturday night and basically all I’ve been doing is worrying and crying which is really bad because I have two assignments due Wednesday, one which is a 2500 word essay and I haven’t started either one. We took him to the vet but they were pretty much useless and we ended up spending a heap of money on it, all of yesterday he seemed all dull and wouldn’t move around much. This morning around 5 he started throwing up then he threw up again around 8 and this time all this stuff came out in his vomit, it was quite gross actually. I took a photo of it though to show my parents.(I was going to post the photo but I don’t think anyone wants to look at a photo of vomit so I didn’t) The rest of the day he spent sleeping but now he seems to be getting much better which is the biggest relief, he’s a lot more active now and he’s eating again so I feel better now.

Nothing much has been going on with me, I’ll have to spend the next day doing all my assignments then on Friday I’m going to Bright with my parents and some family friends. I don’t know why we’re going and why we’re going for so long, so badly do not want to go because I’m not close with the family friends we’re going with so it’ll be a few days of me being really bored and no internet! Plus I really don’t want to leave Scoob behind and if my plan doesn’t work then I don’t have anywhere to leave him so I don’t know what’s going to happen.

Music Monday

2:50 Joel's orgasm face

I’ve been watching this video too much but ah they all look so nice and I had no idea Joel had his ears gauged before I saw this.

I love this song and I really can’t wait till the album comes out which is tomorrow but then my copy of the album won’t come for another couple of weeks so that sucks but still I’m excited!

It's Not You, It's Me

On Thursday I was making my way to the Ding Dong Lounge and was admiring the city and kept thinking about how much I love it at night. I don’t know what it is but the city at night is amazing. I met up with Jenny, Susan and Julia and we stood outside the venue which is in one of those little lanes. Jenny and I were looking at the set times when this random man started talking to us. He asked us who we were there to see then told us his son was in one of the bands that were playing that night so we asked him about his son and Jenny tried to find a photo of him on their myspace page. She found a photo of a guy and asked the man if that was his son. It wasn’t, there wasn’t a picture of him on the site so it got awkward and we went back to Susan and Julia. I saw one of my family friends outside a restaurant, she was there with her work people and asked me what I was doing there.

We got let in and the girl checking tickets had a dark mark tattoo on her arm which was awesome! The venue was so different to other places I’ve been to; they had a small stage at the front. One side of the room had a bar and the other had seats. We sat down and after a little while the first band came on.

Almaria

This was the band that had the man’s son in it.

I thought they were okay but you couldn’t really hear the singer because the instruments were too loud. I liked the lead singer’s talking voice, he looked really young but had a tattoo so he would be around our age, the whole band were around our age. They played a few of their songs then did a cover of your love is my drug (yeah the Kesha song).

Next up was

Darcee Fox

I didn’t really get into their music, wasn’t really what I like listening to. The lead singer was cute though and he was wearing really tight jeans which were really distracting. I couldn’t stop looking at them.

There was a drunk man who started talking to the lead singer and was going on about managing and stuff.

Oh yeah the place didn’t really have a lot of people. I thought there would have been more to see The Classic Crime but it was a very small crowd. They were also very different to what how people are at the concerts I have been to in the past. They were older and there were actually more guys than girls. We realised how out of place we looked until I saw these two Asian people, the girl looked like one of those TB girls and the guy looked like he was forced to come along. They both looked a little fob but I don’t think they were.

Chemical Transport

Was the next band, they were from Sydney. Jenny and I went and stood up to watch them, I liked this band more than the other two. The lead singer sounded really Australian and he would keep dancing which was funny.

The drunk guy came back and started dancing on the floor by himself and I could see the lead singer was trying really hard not to laugh at him. He then started going on about the whole managing thing and told them they need a better manager.

While all the bands were playing the members of The Classic Crime were walking around all normal which was really cool, I kept thinking about what it would be like if one of the bands I loved played in a venue this intimate and were walking around. I would probably die.

Finally time for

The Classic Crime

The stage looked crowded because it was so small but the band was amazing.

People actually came and stood on the floor now, J and I tried but it was just too loud for us so we stood at the top while Susan and Julia stayed sitting down. I didn’t know all the words to the songs but I did know all the choruses so that was okay. Matt (lead singer) started telling us a story which was funny. They played The Coldest Heart which is my favourite song by them. I was standing there then noticed someone touch Jenny’s hair, it was the drunk man. He then asked Jenny to dance with him without actually saying any words and J looked freaked out. I was half weirded out half laughing, he decided to leave. The Classic Crime then got off stage so people started chanting one more song. They came back and said this would be their last song, they played The Fight. Then it was over.

J and I were standing on the side when we saw one of the band guys come out and he was shaking hands with the people next to us so Jenny went to shake his hand but he hugged her instead then hugged me. We were kind of lost for words after and didn’t know what to say. Major fail. There were three posters of TCC around the room and we managed to take all of them so we lined up to get them signed, Jenny went first then Susan then Me. We got Robbie to sign first (he was the guy who hugged us) Then went to Justin who I think looks like Lance from Nsync.

“Where did you get these from?”

“We stole them from around the room” (look I talked)

Then he said something about how we were thieves but then laughed and said it didn’t matter because they didn’t belong to the band

We went around to the drummer, see we didn’t know who was who in the band because we searched up their names on google just before they played.

“Hey I’m Skip”

J: “Are you Paul?”

Skip: Yeah how did you know?

J: We stalked you

(me thinking oh my god Jenny why would you tell him that)

He didn’t hear though

Skip: I thought you could read it from my signature and I was like wow how did you read that

We then got it signed by Matt

We stuck around a bit waiting for a photo

The four of us got a photo with Robbie and Skip but the flash wasn’t on so it didn’t turn out the greatest

(Don’t you think Robbie looks like Ian from Hot Chelle Rae?)

We stuck around a bit more to see if we could get another photo

The other guitarist (Alan) came out so got the poster signed by him

We saw this guy talking to Skip then Skip went away and came back with two drumsticks and gave it to the guy, I wonder what he said.

Saw this other guy get a photo with the whole band so we waited and stood to get a photo with the whole band

One of the guys: Girls stand in front of us, you’re all so short

Photo was taken we said bye they thanked us for coming, checked the photo later and realised that Robbie wasn’t in it so we didn’t get the whole band, damn.

We went to Hungry Jacks and Julia and Susan left after they ordered food. While I was waiting to get sauce this guy came up to us, he was drunk, and asked us what we were waiting in line for then asked me what I was holding in my hand. I told him it was a poster so he asked of what, told him of a band and that we had just been to a concert. He asked us which band and we told him and he looked confused so I said they’re not a very big band.

He took the poster out of my hand, opened it up and was looking at it

Guy: Oh nice you got it signed and everything

M: Yepp...

G: Oh you like how they, I bet you like this one don’t you?

(points to Robbie)

M: Umm no...

He started laughing and said something then rolled the poster up

He finally left us alone and we left.

At J’s house we looked through all the photos and watched a few youtube videos then slept at around 4. Woke up around 7 because J was meeting up with her Monash friends so I was a little dead. When I was on the bus home this old lady was sitting in front of me and her phone rang. Her ringtone was Sexy Back and I was laughing on the inside.

When I got home I went on the internet and saw that Mayday Parade were doing a live chat (I’ll post about this chat in another post because it was so epic). The rest of the day was basically just me cleaning and internet then I went to Dandy Plaza with the rents so I was pretty tired at night.

God & Drugs

I thought I would tell you guys about this Torchwood episode I watched

This posts contains spoilers but I’m almost certain that none of you will ever watch Torwood so I don’t think it matters

The episode began with this lady driving through the country at night when she stops as she sees something on the road that looks like a person. She gets out of the car and walks towards the body holding a baseball bat (smart lady I thought). She finds out it isn’t an actual body but just some clothes and a ball as the head, she gets back to her car to find out that her tyres have been slashed so she gets inside her car and nothing works, next thing you know she gets attacked by something.

Next scene the Torchwood gang

This is them

Ianto, Gwen, Jack, Tosh and Owen

are in the country side discussing the disappearances of people in the area and that no bodies have been found or anything. Oh before I go on I should probably tell you guys that the Torchwood team are there to eliminate alien threat and they are based in Cardiff Wales. So they set up camp, Gwen and Owen go to collect firewood and they see someone in the woods so they chase after them. They lose the person but find a body that has had all the flesh removed. The other guys come over to check it out and they try to figure out what could have done something like this and ask Jack if he has ever seen anything like this because he’s the most experienced when it comes to aliens. They all head back to camp and find that their car with all their equipment in it has been stolen. Luckily they had a tracking device inside the car, after a while they realise the car has been stationary for a while now and they find out that the car had stopped in the nearby small town so they walk over. By small town I mean tiny town, the houses all seem to be abandoned so they split up and decide to search them individually. Jack, Gwen and Owen go into one and find a few more bodies which have all had the flesh removed. Ianto and Tosh are in another area when they get attacked my something, all you see in a cloaked figure. The other three come to a house which has the door bolted so the break in and as soon as they do that a gun is fired and Gwen is shot in the side of her abdomen. There was a guy inside who kept going I thought you were them, I didn’t mean to shoot her. Owen being a doctor takes the bullet out of Gwen and starts patching her up. Ianto and Tosh are now inside some sort of underground room, they find a heap of shoes so they think there must have been a heap of people who had been killed. Jack, Gwen, Owen and random guy go into another house and find a whole heap of human flesh inside the fridge so they realise that whatever has been killing these people has been doing it for food. Back to Ianto and Tosh, this lady appears out of nowhere and tells them that they have to leave. ‘’I have to take you to them”. Ianto and Tosh tell her that she doesn’t have to do this and that they could save her if she only helped them but she seemed to be too scared to listen to them. They’re taken to this house and find a whole heap of town people sitting there, what’s going on? Turns out it was the town people who had actually been killing everyone and there was indeed no alien activity going on. They tie up Ianto and Tosh, meanwhile Gwen and Owen are walking through the woods, they run into a police and stick with him. Tosh manages to escape but one of the cannibalistic men chase after her, she runs into Gwen and Owen who catch the cannibal man and tell the police to arrest him. The police laughs and goes that’s my uncle why would I do that, so then Gwen, Owen and Tosh all get captured and are taken to the house where Ianto is. After a while Jack comes and saves them, the canibals all get arrested but Gwen asks to speak to the guy that captured everyone because she's freaking out a little because of everything she just saw. She asks him why he and the other people were doing this but the guy just smiles and I've forgotten what he says but he never tells her why.

Ok so I told that really badly but it was such a good episode, it just shows us how fucked up people can be and I like it when they do episodes like these. They’ve done this in Supernatural too, have some episodes where there was really nothing supernatural going on and that it was just people doing everything.

So I was going to talk about my day yesterday but I can’t seem to remember anything significant that happened. One thing though, I was at Morwell station and I saw this female wearing a Doctor Who t-shirt so I thought awesome! But she looked too intimidating to talk to, she was wearing a hoodie with skulls all over it and skull gloves and had heavy black eye makeup and black lipstick on, also had one of those scowling expressions on her face so I didn’t go anywhere near her.

Today I have class soon then I have The Classic Crime concert to go to which I m excited about but I’m somewhat worried because I told my dad that it would finish at 11 but I think it will actually finish at 12 so I think he’s going to be really annoyed because he said he would pick me up so yes. I have to call him later and tell him it’s going to finish later. Wish me luck.
