3:37 pm - Busy busy busy...

Yay! My parents left me the house for the weekend while they went up to the cottage and I basically refused to go. I love have an entire house to myself, I don't have to answer to anyone! It's very nice :)
Anyway, I leave for Montreal on Tuesday. That's going to be a blast, Michelle and I plan to go to a different bar every night! Wahoo... I'm really looking forward to this trip. I won't be back until the 12th.
Anyway, I've got web page work to do so this is extremely short! Adios!

9:01 pm - Hey big spender....
|
lol, give me some money and guess what happens? I spend it. In one hand and out the other. So with my newly found cash from work (can you believe they finally paid me? Now I'm in the clear!) I decided to pop over to my newly found piercer's store. Bah, his fiance was handling the cash. Whatever. Anyway, I bought my new 10 gauge CBRs and this really spiffy 3/8 titanium CBR that's a shimmery blue/purple with a black bead (it's 14 gauge). Ian (yes, I finally got the dude's name) was surprised to see me back so soon. Man, I thought he looked good with a hat on... but off... rowr... Okay, anyway, enough distraction. So he tapered my bottom ear hole to the 10 gauge because apparently my right ear is my "tight" ear so it wouldn't stretch all that easy. The left one went in like a dream though. So right now all my ear holes are fine, except for my right bottom one which feels kinda like it's burning. It's normal so I'm not worried. Anyway, there we go! My ears are finally gauge the way I want them! I might turn the 14 gauge hole into an orbital though... So I ended up spending a whopping $70 there (and I FORGOT to tip the guy! I feel so embarassed right now! ACK! Not only embarassed but ashamed that I didn't tip him!)
Anyway, so I spent too much and now I gotta wait until the rest of my cheque from work clears the bank which will only be on Tuesday and so I have to wait until then to buy my bus ticket to Montreal. Why couldn't I have just stuck to the plan? Grrr... me and my whimsical ways! ;)
And RATS! While I was downtown I lost my favorite ring! It's my silver thumb ring that's got all kinds of stars and moons on it! I loved it so much! And now it's gone poof! Awww :(
Anyway, there's "Murder in Small Town X" right now and I must go and catch it!

12:35 am - Early 90s... just shoot me
|
I just went to a wedding for my first cousin once removed (she's cool). Sure, the wedding itself was okay but let me get to the reception afterwards. The music they played was absolutely terrible. I dont' ever want to hear early 90s shit again. Stupid STUPID pop early 90s music. Oh god! It was undanceable because there weren't any drums! Oh god... I couldn't stay there any longer. It was an open bar but all the beer and vodka couldn't keep me there. How terrible is that?
Anyway, here's my Ozzfest story (I wrote it down previously...):
Holy shit. What a day this was! Danylo had me picked up by one of his friends so that I could get to the concert from my cousin's house in Mississauga. It was insufferably hot with a humidex factor so high we hit 40 degrees Celsius and there were heat/smog alerts for the entire day. And I wore jeans. SHIT.
After a bit of running around to find the place (the Docks in Toronto) we finally got there at 11:10 AM. Slaves on Dop were the first act we caught and they didn't really leave me with a lasting impression so I can't really comment on them. Next came Spineshank (Danylo really likes them) and we hit the pit which had a really energetic crowd. Unfortunately the entire show was outdoors (that's good) but on CONCRETE so not only did it hurt more than grass but it also created even more heat. Anyway Spineshank was pretty good even though I didn't know any of their songs.
We then left the stage area after their set to get some good and do a little exploring. We completely missed out on Hatebreed's and Nonpoint's sets which I'm kind of annoyed about right now. Because I know I'll regret it in a couple years. We went inside to stage 3 to watch some band called Pure Rubbish. It was so nice inside because it was pitch black and they had the air conditioners going like mad. We stayed in there for the entirety of Pure Rubbish's set and I can honestly say that they perfectly represent their name! They were absolute rubbish. Terrible stuff.
We lost track of time because the next thing I knew was that I was hearing Taproot's set from the other side of the docks. So we raced over to Stage B and caught the second half of Taproot's set. They were pretty damn good and they played "Again and Again" last.
We decided to give up seeing Union Underground and Mudvayne so that we could head over to the Main Stage in order to get a goo standing area. Bah, we should have stayed for Mudvayne, it's not that hard to shove yourself to the front of a mosh pit!
Finally after hanging around the main stage for almost two horus, Zakk Wilde's Black Label Society comes out. Everyone loved them but me. I guess I'm just not as much of an 80s metalhead as everyone else. Their set ended fast and then Crazy Town came on immedaitely after. I don't know who designed the set layout but they were brilliant because they made this huge rotating device so that while one band is playing they can set up the next band's stuff on the other side. Bands were on within 5 minutes of each other and I'd never seent hat happen before! Okay well I live Crazy Town but this was NOT the right gig for them. They're not hard enough sounding and of course no one else there liked them. They did play DarkSide (an absolute favorite of mine) and they dounded okay. People kept throwing bottles at them which was really pathetic.
Next up was Disturbed and theur sound was amazing live. I really liked their CD so hearing them live was awesome. They crowd really got into it too and the lead singer kept telling us to be more violent, which was kind of scary...
Linkin Park came on quickly after. They were the band I most wanted to see at Ozzfest and they certainly didn't disappoint me! Their sound was perfectly clear (unlike during the BLS set where the PA system kept cutting out) and they sounded exactly like they do on their CD.They ended with One Step Closer while the crowd moshed insanely!
After their set I was in desperate need of a break. So Papa Roach came on next and we stayed for three of their songs before hauling our asses out of the pit. Thank god they played my two favorite songs of theirs (Blood Brothers and Between Angels & Insects). I wished I could have stayed in there for the rest of their set but I would have died without a break. We filled up our water bottles then dove back into the crowd when Slipknot came on stage. They were fucking amazing. The entire crowd went berserk. At one point during their set one of the Slipknot members came out into the crowd and haf everyone in the crowd kneel down around him. A crazy stunt but it worked. On stage the guy told us that when he yelled "jump the fuck up" he wanted everyone to just go absolutely insane. He screamed it and everyone just exploded. People were going absolutely nuts and it was great! They played Spit It Out and ended with Wait & Bleed. This was one of the most amazing sets by a band I've ever seen before. I;d love to see them again.
Next was MArilyn Manson and event hough I don't like the guy I will admit that he put on a pretty good show because his songs were much better live. They guy is definitely a natural born freak though. Surprisingly no one went crazy during his set and for the most part the mosh pit was dead!
Well Black Sabbath played last and I knew absolutely nothing by them so I'm surrounded by these psychotic fans and I really didn't appreciate their set all taht much. A little too 80s metal for me. And they kept soaking the crowds with these high pressure water pumps from the top of stage and it got really damn cold. They finally ended so I was happy. By then my feet were completely killing me and I was surprised that I was still standing! Black Sabbath did have cool pyros going though and during their last song the huge cross in the background lit on fire repeatedly so that was pretty neat.
It was a great day (I got a kickass tan!) and I would love to see Linkin Park and Slipknot again. They totally made my day.
Phew... that was a moutful!

1:36 am - I'll have one shot of honesty please
|
JESUS CHRIST. What are girls? A piece of meat that guys use to pass off to one another? I'm so completely disgusted by the actions of the ever so famous Pat. UGH!
Okay, so I get this call from Pat today and he asks me what I doing tonight. I already had plans to hang out with some friends so I told him I was busy. He then asks if I have a boyfriend. Not really getting what he's getting at I answer no. He then asks if I want a boyfriend, to which I reply "well who doesn't?" Well SHITTY. Then he passes the phone to his friend Jon who APPARENTLY has been asking about me a lot. Little fucker. So I just get passed off and handed to his friend? What the fuck is wrong with this boy? So I end up talking to his friend for 20 minutes or so and I'm not at all interested in this guy. I've met him before and he just creeps me out. Please the fact that I REALLY liked Pat for a good long time and I sure as hell don't want to date his fucking friend!
So I get home tonight and his friend is on ICQ, asking for my authorization and messaging me right away. Here's the convo: (after a little small talk)
Jon: so what did you mean by "who isnt looking for one?" (refering to boy toys)
Me: I knew this was coming up. Why were you asking?
Jon: :) am I that transparent?
Me: Look all I know is that Pat calls me out of the blue, asks me if I have a boyfriend, then asks me if I want one and then passes the phone over to you. Now I don't know what's going on but I feel like a piece of meat and right now I'm not really having kind thoughts about anyone.
Jon: Sorry bout that. I was wondering. I didnt acctualy think he'd bring it up. but then I guess I shuldent have asked it out loud.
Me: bingo
Jon: Sorry about that. I've asked a couple of times for the 3 of us to get together so I might get to know you and ask you out (you are hot after all, and if anyone is to be belived a good person too) but you were always buysy. so today I opend my big mouth and well here we are talking about it.
Me: Yeah I know... and honestly I'm uncomfortable with it. With the us going out part. I did go out with Pat, I don't care how short a time it was but I really did like him, more than I want to admit to, and things ended badly. And right now it sounds like he's passing me off to one of his friends which I'm completely disgusted by (his actions). Whoa, how's that for a little honesty at 1 AM....
Jon: :) I know how it feels. beleive me. I know how muddy the waters can get too. So like I am, I'm not going to press anything. not that I would have but still. It was a though that came out today I had for a while and Pat has known for a while. Other than that I havnt a clue as to what to say. I think all the sugar blew up a few brain cells.
Me: Pat knew? How excellent....
Jon: And I cant say what Pats position on this is but I know he thought my taste in women was terrible untill I gave him a few names of the girls he knew, that I would go out with. you being one of them.
Me: Oh yeah, and I;m a great name to give because we dated for oh so long too.
Jon: ya well he respects you. and I cant say that about any of my ex's.
I can't tell ya the rest because it's happening right now.
Oh well, I'm sick of this bullshit about beating around the bush. The dude best find out now that I'm not interested so I don't have to deal with his later on. Nip it in the bud.

9:51 pm - Here we go now...
|
I'm in the middle of my insane week of the summer. Now where do I begin?
Okay, so Friday I'm supposed to go with my parents to our cottage after work (goddamit), but I needed to pick up concert tickets so I caught a bus downtown and picked some tickets for American Hi-Fi up from Barrymore's. Then, two blocks souths of Barrymore's, I come to this piercing shop called Classic Body Piercing II, since I was in need of a titanium barbell I decided I might as well check it out (feeling very bad for not being loyal to my own piercer). Well it turns out that I like this person better (and it has NOTHING to do with the fact that he quite quite attractive... yeah... right...) So anyway, I told him I wanted a titanium barbell to speed up the healing process of my navel (cuz this fucking thing isn't done yet) and he decided he'd better have a look at it before I switch the metal. So he takes a look at it in the back ande says I really shouldn't switche the titanium and just leave the stainless steel in. Apparently I'm just gonna have to wait it out. Well SHIT. So he tells me all kinds of stuff (that doesn't really need) to be repeated, lol, other than the fact that Juliette, my regular piercer, was his ex-girlfriend! So I decided to buy some 12 gauge SSS CBRs from him.. and surprisingly they just popped into my ears, no need to stretch at all, (unlike jumping from 18 gauge to 14 gauge which hurt like a bitch). So I'm pretty happy. And I think I'm going to stick with this guy from now because he's seems to be more informed, his place is bigger and he's got a better selection of jewellery. And it's not so out of the way like Juliette's place is. Dammit, I totally forgot to get the guy's name. How bad is that?
Anyway, we went up to the cottage. Blah blah boring!
I just played a soccer game and we won 6-0 (about time). Now I gotta go pack so I can get on a bus at 9:30 tomorrow to cart me off to TO where I'll go to Ozzfest on Tuesday. Then I gotta be back here in Ottawa for a soccer game Wednesday night. Ick... this is gonna be so crazy. I've got a headache just thinking about it.
Ugh, and just when I thought my knee was healed...I played this soccer game and it complete gave out again. I'm not liking this at all!
Grrr... I just learned that Millencolin and Good Charlotte pulled out of Edge 2. I'm so mad! I LOVE Millencolin! :(
Anyway, I do have to go pack so this is me signing off! Adios people!

Urgh.... I'm mising Thirteen at Babylon right now. And why so? Because my curfew sucks and because I'm worried that my ID won't work there and I don't want it taken away for the rest of the summer cuz that would seriously suck. Goddamn.... what a hassle. Well since I now know the guys in the band aren't that since I'm not as psyched about their music. Oh well, I'll still go to shows but I think it's safe to say that weekday shows are pretty much out. And come on, just how many people are going to be at Babylon on a freakin' Wednesday night? That's ridiculous.

Okay, remember my Freddy Krueger dream thingie? Well get a load of this, I just found this as a season 6 spoiler for Buffy:
The big baddie?s name is Razor. Think bigger, badder version of Freddie Kruger, complete with switchblade hands.
Can you say CREEPY much?
This is the second time I've had some sort of weird future-dealing-with dream and they're honestly starting to freak me out. The other one was about clothing that my friend was wearing a dream and we talked online and she was wearing exactly what I'd described....
Ozzfest in 7 days!
And a a brand new concert announcement: American Hi-Fi at Barrymore's on the 14th of August, tickets on sale as of last Saturday, $12 advance or $15 at the door.

5:56 pm - I was cheated!

Okay, so I won tickets from Xfm... yay! Wonderful! And then I go to pick them up today... and guess what's they're fucking seating tickets! I got so ripped! Had I known they were seating tickets I could have gone and bought myself floor tickets! But now they're sold out! My mission this summer: To get Niki and my asses onto the floor for Edge 2. I will not be satisfied until I do! Dammit!
So I've been to two doctors about my knee now. The first one tells me that I seem to have a tight kneecap but that I should just keep on playing soccer. Oh great, that was a load of help! (sarcasm at it's best) I couldn't walk on it for three days and you think it's only a tight kneecap? Shit, where'd you get your degree from? Ugh, so I went to another doctor today and she told me to go in for x-rays and start physiotherapy... Umm... okay... much better than what that other quack had told me. So I'm going for x-rays tomorrow. This is totally messed up. I didn't even do anything to the bloody ankle!

Okay, so everyone, what did you do today? Haha... I drove to Montreal and back! Total spur of the moment deal! I was sitting at my computer trying to figure out what to do when my friend from Montreal logs onto ICQ and then this brilliant idea popped into my head! I'd go visit her! We'd been talking about it jokingly for the past couple of months and since my parents had left for the day and had left me a car. Hehe, so I decided to make use of that car and hopped on the 417 and drove myself all the way to Montreal. Please note that I've never driven there, let alone been there so that was an interesting experience. I've just gotten home now. We didn't get to spend a lot of time together (maybe 5 hours) but we had a ball. We raced some guys up these steep steep hills in Westmount (and I *nearly* beat them), flicked random matches around at this dinner party thing (which was a bust but still kind of fun). lol, I swear I broke every driving rule in that city. Damn, no turning right on a red light! And this one point I totally wandered into the intersection at a red light. lol. Anyway it was a blast and I can't wait to go back for Warped Tour! hehe, my parents don't have any idea that I went to Montreal, this is hilarious!

10:55 pm - Matthew BAD Band
|
Cheesy title I know. Anyway, so I went to the Matthew Good Band concert last night expecting to have an amazing time. I went with Greg and we met up with Laine and Porter there. Now I don't really like Laine but I actually found that she's really a nice person (or at least putting it on enough to make it seem believable), she's part of that whole "cool" crowd so I'm always a little wary around her. Anyway, it was her first time in a mosh pit and she stood up for herself so I'm suitably impressed. Anyway, we missed the opening band and stood by a puddle of mud while we waited for MGB to set up. I ran into Cory there, well okay, he ran into me. Didn't talk to him much though. Anyway, Matthew Good Band started up with Giant and we pushed our way to the front (well, I pushed, they followed) and got into what has got to be the most horrible mosh pit I have ever been in in my entire life. It was horrible. I've never been bashed around by so many guys that weigh about 250lbs and are about 6'3". It was a horribly unstab;e crowd. It DID loosen up towards the end enough to provide for some good moshing but for a good part of the show it was just terrible. And now the music. I like Matthew Good Band, I really do. I've sen them twice before in concert and they were amazing. But this show blew to chunks. It was horrible. They had no energy. They didn't seem to care what they were doing. They didn't have any enthusiam. I barely even remember them playing some of my favorite songs because they were played so crappily and the worst part was they played a three song encore of slow songs that no one had ever heard of. Excuse me but you do NOT play slow songs as an encore because then it just leaves them with a bored feeling. Which is exactly what I left with. A bored feeling. And feeling very cheated because I paid $20 for that show and it was not even remotely worth it. Shannon: you lucked out, this is definitely the MGB show you would want to miss. I just hope they're a lot better in September. As we were leaving Greg said to me that after that show he doesn't have a lot of hope left for MGB... kind of sad because they are a good band. I can't say that I'm a fan of their new release though...
Anyway, we went to Denny's for a while afterwards and just chilled in the smoking section (cuz Laine smokes). And I ran into a load of people back there that I knew. One of them was Alicia, this girl that I used to figure skate with. I couldn't believe I saw her! I hadn't seen her in years! We talked for a bit and I left without getting her number which I really regret because she's an amazing person! Shitty! I'm never going to run into her again! The last time I saw her was in 1997! DAMMIT! I also ran into this really creepy guy from my old Graphic Arts class, god is that guy every creepy. He acts like we have eveything in common and meanwhile I just want to get away from him!
Anyway, I finally got paid at work today so I tore downtown and picked up my bus ticket so that I can get to Ozzfest in TO in about two weeks. I can't believe it's so soon! Wahoo! *shudder* I was waiting in line to pick up my tickets and there was this man about 35 years old that just kept staring at me the whole time, trying to catch my eyes. I was so disgusted by this guy. He looked all professional in his long black coat and sports jacket and whatnot but you could just tell he was DIRTY underneath it all. I was completely revolted and did my best to look it. Eventually at one point when I could practically feel him undressing me with his eyes I just snapped my head around to glare at him. Of course then he thought he'd made a connection with me. UGH! God I hate these fuckers. I was thisclose to telling him I was about to put his face through the pavement.
Anyway, that's about the it!

|
We finally won a soccer game. Unbelievable. We;ve lost so many. On the complete downside though: my left knee is totally shot. I can barely walk on it. I have no idea what's wrong and I don't want to go to a doctor to find out something I don't want to hear! But it's so useless. It's like a totally bum knee. It's okay if I keep it totally straight or if I run at full speed but I can't walk on it and I can't jog on it. It's super painful and the thing just keeps on twinging. I better not have some crappy fracture. If it's just disclocated I'll be happy and I should be able to snap it back into place (or have someone do it for me). I know how to snap shoulder sockets back into place but I have no clue what to do for a knee. I'm icing it now which should numb the pain and then I'll try popping it. We'll see what happens.
Anyway, Matthew Good Band show on Wednesday (still gotta get my ticket), so that's something to look forward too. Unfortunately all the concerts for the next three weeks are on weeknights and I've got no plans for any weekend nights! BAH.

1:39 pm - Where do I start?
|
Oh my god... I haven't written in here in a while and so much has happened since I last did. Blah, how do you go back an summarize everything? well let's see...
Okay so Friday I was forced into going to my cottage. I hate it there. With a violent passion. There's nothing to do! It's so far away from civilization, our cottage is shabby and is just nasty to be in (considering you can't use the shower and the washroom is just hell) and there are mice running about the place leaving their poo everywhere! I HATE IT THERE! Okay so my brother and father wanted to go water skiing so I drove the boat for them while they attempted to water ski. It was pretty darn cold out too. Anyway, we slept overnight there and then tried to water ski again in the morning until our boat broke and we couldn't do anything anymore. Lovely. We drove home and I get in to find Chrissy freaking out on my answering machine because she thought I was going to a concert with her on Saturday night but she wasn't able to reach me all weekend.
So by now I've got a massive headache because I've just been driving the car home for the past two hours and I look like trash. So shower it is and then straight out of the house to meet Chrisy at Barrymore's. I get there to find out the Freephonic is opening the night and I very largely dislike them. They're horrible! Ugh. So I hung out with Chrisy, this really weird girl called Trista and Chrisy's boyfriend (who is REALLY hot) and I actually got bored. Freephonic was horrible (as predicted) and this old man that must have been about 70 years old went out on the floor and started dancing like a whack so then of course nobody else wanted to go out on the floor with him there! Second band was... oh yeah, Sandmouth, decent but I was so tired that I didn't even care what they were like. By the time Nectar came on I was falling asleep and told Chrisy that I was gonna bail. So I left at midnight and stumbled to my car and drive home.
Of course I then wake up the next morning to find my mom freaking out because one of the tired on the car I was driving is completely flat and she thought so whacko at Barrymore's got angry with me and started to slash my tired (not true). So I had to deal with that...
so CANADAY DAY! Yay! I decided to be oh-so patriotic and wear nothing but a flag. Well okay I had on a black pleather strapless dress on underneath but no one needs to know that right? lol So I wore that flag as a tight strapless minidress for the day. The plan was to meet up with my friends and go see a friend's band play at some local centre. We get there and they were supposed to be playing at 4 PM but now they're been pushed back until 5 PM. NOT GOOD! I wanted to be downtown at 5 PM to catch thirteen's set at Zaphod's! Argh. So I bail out on them and head downtown. I got to Zaphod's and didn't recognize anyone (and I was alone), oh shitty. So I'm standing by one of the walls in my little flag and then Cory comes up to me. THANK GOD. He'd saved me a seat right by the stage, I was literally one foot away from the stage. So I sat down with him and Joanna, strange thing was he didn't even talk to her and she's allergic to smoke so she had her nose in his shirt the whole time. He suggested that I should dance and I told him I was only going to go up if he did (especially cuz my flag would have fallen off with too much movement). So Corey (of thirteen) handed Cory and I CD singles for their songs of Conscience and (you). Niceness! The show started and it was great! I lot of new stuff that I didn't recognize but it's always nice to hear new stuff ya know? So after the show Cory left and I waited around for Chiryss who was supposed to show up with my CD but never did so I left and went to my grandmother's house and waited for my friends to call me. Let me just say, I have never been hit on as much as I had that day. There's a lot a little flag will do for you! hehe... The question I heard most was "Are you wearing anything under that flag?" hehe "What do you think?" ;) So anyway, I met my friends at 8 PM on Bank Street and we went up to the hill and around the Rideau Centre for a while. At the Hill Alanis Morrisette played like one song and then left. It was pretyt much a bust. We stayed until 11 for the fireworks which ended up getting cancelled because of the extreme wind (oh yeah, did I mention it was like 2 degrees that night? I was so cold... So we took the bus home (hehe and got hit on by some really hot guys though they were way too drunk, hehe, I have several of their phone numbers written on my arm :P ) and went to Denny's for a little while and then went back home. I got home pretty late (2:30), well, late for my parents, luckily only my mom was home.
So I ended up making up some bullshit story to escape the fact that I went to Denny's afterward, now I'm really nervous that she's gonna talk to my friends and figure out I made up a pile of shit. Goddamn... I should have just said we went to Denny's afterward. Why the fuck are my parents so uptight about this?
Argh and right now I'm pissed as hell because my internet explorer keeps crashing no matter how I try to solve the problem! I fucking hate this!
Anyway, I get an e-mail from Cory today and he's like "Nice flag by the way! :)

6:11 pm - I hate dreams...
|
They cause far too much mental pain. SURE, they give what you want and what you'd hope for in real life, but you only wake up to find that you don't have what it was you'd dreamed of and you're left with even more mental pain because your dream was so vivid that you felt that you were actually there and therefore those dreamed memories are now stored as actual memories. Even though they never happened... but you can still feel the pain of the moment because what you had in your dream no longer exist (even though it never did in the first place). And then you sit there all day "remembering" what you'd felt like (during your dream) but it never actually happedn so how can it be a memory? Especially if the pain feels so real....
