I lust after androids

So! I'm back from Paris! It was really great this time, I had a fantastic time! I won't update much now, since I'm tired and I don't have the pictures sorted, but tomorrow, hopefully, I'll get that all together :D

High point? Was absolutely MCR! After the disappointment of them at the arena, I can't even begin to tell you how great they were in a smaller venue! Every single thing except the sound system was so much better. And Frank! Frank was amazing! ♥

(Only) Low Point - seeing a dog get hit by a scooter outside the Musée D'Orsay. Ugh, I think the poor thing managed to get away with just a broken leg, but I have never fucking heard a dog scream before, and I hope I never do again. I have never heard anything so sad.

Anyway! More tomorrow~~ ♥

Step 1: Put your music player on shuffle.
Step 2: Post the first line (or first and second line if it's completely impossible) from the first 30 songs that play, no matter how embarrassing.
Step 3: Strike out the songs when someone guesses both artist and track correctly.
Step 4: Looking them up on Google or any other search engine is CHEATING!
Step 5: If you like the game post your own!

I have to admit I skipped a few songs - the ones I'd never heard before, and the Japanese ones :P

( She never did what they told her to... )

Some of these are pretty obvious :D

I mentioned in an earlier post that I'm going to be decorating my room~ I'm quite excited, since it's been forever since I painted my room.

Right now I'm trying to decide between two wallpapers for a feature wall, this black, pink and gold flowery one, or this raspberry and gold damask one.

( Images of them under the cut. )

I'm leaning towards the black, pink and gold one, because it means I could paint the rest of my room black, which I would find more soothing to sleep in. As much as I really like the pink and gold one, I'm worried that when I try to fall asleep, it'll be distracting... On the other hand, the pink and gold IS completely gorgeous.


I was also thinking that on the blank walls, I might put up some of those vinyl stickers. Curently I'm trying to decide between:

Flower Girl.

Twin Trees With Birds.

Tree Branch and Birds.

Large Vine Leaf With Birds.

So apparently I really like birds? Anyway! What do y'all think? Should I just scrap everything and go with my original idea of pirate shanty?

So the only time I've been awake during daylight for these past two weeks has been when I've had to go to appointments at the dole office.

It kinda sucks, I guess, but then again I don't have to interact with anyone when they're asleep, although it's probably really sad that I don't even feel like talking to my own family.

On the other hand, my hermit-like isolation has meant that my obsessive rewatching of White Collar has gone unnoticed.

Matt Bomer is truly fucking gorgeous:





Oh, btw, I kind of have an itch to write something, so go ahead and leave me some prompts - if you want~

Oh Bob, your face ♥

♥ So I've been intending to do a 3 drummer picspam, of Bob Bryar, Chris Gaylor and the Butcher, but I am really lazy. And also, I think about it? And then I think, "Well hey, Travie's kind of scorchingly hot, he should be in there, even if he isn't a drummer." And then I basically descend into thinking about all the people I've found hot this year, and I am definitely too lazy to do a picspam about all of that.


♥ In the same vein, I thought about posting a mix of songs I've really enjoyed this year - but I can't remember songs that I liked a few months ago, and it would pretty much be made up of bandom and pop songs - which is not necessarily a bad thing? But I think you guys already have all the bandom you need, and I'm not sure any of you actually listen to pop music, ahaha. Maybe I will anyway? Because I like to pretend I'm interacting with you guys by sharing music.

♥ Oh, so, you guys want to know something that's REALLY FUCKING AWESOME?

You do?

I'm going to see Iron Maiden! And Rob Zombie! And My Chemical Romance!!!

I'm going to see MCR TWICE! Once here in Newcastle, which, y'know, yay. The other time?

...

...

In Paris!!!

I'm so excited, you guys have no idea! I don't think I was this excited when I went to see Dir en Grey in Paris, so. Y'know. EEEEE! Perhaps it's the addition of a xaritomene that makes it so awesome?


♥ And I dyed my bangs/fringe greeny-turquoise!

( Have a look under the cut )


♥ And back to fannish things, I really need to finish writing my aar_capslock Secret Santa. I had a lot of fun planning out a couple more bits of it with xaritomene when we met in Newcastle, so hopefully it won't take me too long (haha, it better not, the deadline's the 22nd!). You guys have already seen the Star!AU, there's also a Punk!AU, and a Liquor Shop!AU, and I'm trying to think of two more. I think perhaps a DJ!AU, and then a College!AU? The person I'm writing for doesn't want too much crack, or you can bet I'd be writing about fairies and dragons and vampires, and probably genies and zombies too. Alas, my life, so hard.

♥ Aaaaah, screw it, I'm really in love with Chris right now, so here's a mini-picspam!

( He owns a micro brewery, doncha know? )

So that was uh, a lot less mini than I thought it would be. :D?

I feel really lazy and lethargic, so I thought it might be neat to update with some of the photos stored in the depths of my phone. It's probably boring for anyone but me though XD

( I worked something out last night that changed this little boy's brain. )

Oh, also, ridiculously excitingly, me and xaritomene are gonna go see My Chemical Romance in February! There's a part of me that's like, wailing to the heavens about having missed out on ever seeing Bob, but the rest of me is like, holy fucking fuck yeah! I'm seriously so excited, it's going to be amazing!

I am going to update about London properly, however, let me just say:

Dear London Transport,

What the fuck is wrong with you? A couple of inches of snow and you throw up your hands in hysterical defeat, bewailing your poor fate?

No really, pull your fucking act together because you are so ridiculous it is physically painful to me and I cannot fully articulate just how inept I believe you are.

No love whatsoever,

Me.

Oh my gosh, you guys it's 6.20am. Someone shoot me!

Anywhooo, the reason I'm up so early is because I have to get train at 7.30 and then a bus at 8.45 to get to London for 15.45! And I am going to then stay there until Wednesday at 23.15! \O/

If anyone wants to meet up, tweet me or email me or comment here, I'll have my phone so I'll have (somewhat limited) access to the net & email. I'm already super excited about seeing chairman_wow! I'd love to meet others for coffee or museum gazing or window shopping or whatever~~


As I'm sure most of you know, my part of the country is under snow, and has been since Wednesday! I'd say that in places where it hasn't been cleared, it's about 1 foot deep! Or 30cm for my metric friends. Frustratingly I don't think I own any actually waterproof shoes, but my Docs have been mostly watertight, so they're the ones I'm wearing down to London :) It's bleedin' freezing though! I'm not that fond of the cold, although Star does have a lot of fun running in the drifts (and also, fools passerby into thinking she has tiny legs! Hehehe).

Ummmm. Oh! Right, one thing I think absolutely everyone should do is go and download is anybody upstairs? by The Animal Upstairs. I've been listening to that album a lot lately, and I think it's excellent! It's done by Andy 'the Butcher' Mrotek, who is the drummer for The Academy Is... (can I just say? He is fucking hot, and ridiculously talented, and an artist! And he looks fiiiiiine in teeny tiny running shorts!)


Right! So! Wish me luck on my epic snow-filled quest! London here I come~!
