I Don't Believe It

I've just recently made a startling realization about myself. Deep breath. I like.... musicals. Now I know it might not seem like that big of a deal for a girl like myself to like musicals. But, I assure you, it is. On a regular basis I have stated (to pretty much anyone who would listen) how much I actively disliked musicals. They're total fluff. (Mind you, that's still true.) But I have to face the fact.... I dig it. How did I come to this moment, you ask? I looked at my movie collection. Simple. But shocking. There sat my own collection of musicals! Gasp! So I will now share with you their titles. The Rocky Horror Picture Show (Which, really, that one isn't too shocking.) Cry Baby (If you had any notion of my great and abiding love of John Waters, then really this isn't a great shock to you.) Repo! The Genetic Opera (Come on. Death, gore, and Anthony Stewart Head. How could I not love it?) Grease (Shut up. I am a girl after all. It's in my DNA to like this movie. And Dirty Dancing, which isn't technically a musical but it should be.) Hairspray (Don't judge me. Its based a John Waters movie. So really it's not my fault that I like it.) The Phantom of the Opera (I've already outed myself as a Phantom Phan, this one holds no shame. Plus Gerard effing Butler. Hello.) Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog ( I make no excuses. That's just pure awesome right there.) Labyrinth (Three words. David Bowie codpiece. Mmhmm.)  The Nightmare Before Christmas & Corpse Bride (Because I love stop motion animation. And Tim Burton.) Sweeney Todd (Hmmm. I'm noticing a theme. Johnny Depp! I blame you, sir! You've done this to me!)
So now you see. And these are just the ones I own. I've seen many many more, some that may or may not have had Gidget or Frankie & Annette in the title. Sigh. Next thing ya know I'll be going to the theater. Shudder. (Call me Jeffie! We'll see Love Never Dies!)

Magneto + Rochester = Hottness

Ok, ok. I know! I need to stop obsessing over Michael Fassbender. But with X-Men: First Class and Jane Eyre both in theaters right now, can you really blame me? My friend Eastwood and I saw X-Men on opening night. It was really good. Surprisingly good. I say that because I didn't particularly love the first three. (I know what you're thinking. Two girls voluntarily seeing a comic book movie? What? Shocking I know.) Eastwood wanted to see it because she is currently in lurve with Kevin Bacon (go figure). I wanted to see it for one obvious reason. Duh.
I saw Jane Eyre today. It was beautiful. Truly. I had a really hard time staying still in my seat throughout the movie. I really just wanted to throw myself at the screen. My hope being that I could toss myself into Mr. Rochester's lap. Sigh. If ever there were an actor born for a role, it's Fassbender for Rochester. This movie made my little fangirl heart very happy! Ok. Now I'll stop.
P.S. The picture at the top isn't related to X-Men or Jane Eyre. But it is Michael (in 300)... and he's shirtless. Heh.

Like a Virgin. Hey!

Tonight I saw The Rocky Horror Picture Show for the first time with audience partici... -pation! I was a virgin. But no longer! Well, actually, (according to a veteran fan) I was what's known as a "masturbater", meaning I had seen the movie before but only on my own. Dirty. I love it! Needless to say I will be seeing Rocky Horror again... but I won't be alone. As if the screaming fans and naughty songs weren't enough, Bones totally got manhandled! She was picked up off the ground and held against another (much larger) woman's bosom. ( Uh, the woman was larger, not her bosom. Well? Maybe. Nevermind. I don't want to think about it.) Good times.

Son of a.....

What have you been doing with yourself today? I talked to a rock star. Well. Tweeted actually, but whatever! The drummer from Son Of A Bad Man messaged me. It kinda made my whole month! So yeah, Imma have to add SoaBM to my list of people to be stalked. ( Btw I mean stalk in a totally harmless and completely non -illegal and/or threatening manner!) So right now it's just them and FF5. I've seen FF5 seven times in concert so I'd say that it's going pretty well on that front. Just gotta add SoaBM to my to-do list.

Oh! I found a picture of them! It's kinda grainy but whatever! It has the lead singer Shawn Fisher, the drummer Brad Moxey and some random photographer in it! And a very large and slightly annoyed looking security guard.

Rockville

I spent nine hours outside yesterday, which is like unheard of for me. But I had very good reason to do so. Six great reasons actually. Son of a Bad Man, Halestorm, Skillet, Theory of a Deadman, My Darkest Days, and Seether to be exact. It was awesome! There were only three things that happened that kept the day from being truly epic. 1. My camera died mid-concert. Sigh. 2. I, sorta, elbowed my bestie Bones in the face. (Ooops! I told you I thrash hardcore.) 3. Seether didn't play Careless Whisper! WTF! Grrr. Oh well. I left the park with a My Darkest Day tee, a signed Halestorm cd, and an insane sunburn. So all in all a awesome day. Could have been a super day but, no... I'm looking at you Seether! Way to bring the party down. Jk. But seriously.

Will Work For Days Off

So I've learned something recently. Apparently being unemployed means you are your friends and family's personal bitch. I have run more errands and "helped out" more since my store closed then I can stand to think about. (I was well trained as a child, so now as an adult I can't tell anyone I care about no.) I never thought I'd be so eager to get another job, but hell, if it means getting to run my own life again I'll work anywhere!

Deaf in One Ear

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhh! Ahem. Sorry about that. I'm still coming down from my concert high. No, Mom, no drugs or alcohol involved, just good ole adrenaline! (The entire time FF5 was on stage, I swear I couldn't feel my face. I wonder if that's normal? Hmmm.) Anyway...  from the ringing in one ear, my complete lack of voice, and the bruises that now cover my body - I'd say I had a good time! I always feel kinda bad for the people who choose to stand near me though. Cause I thrash hardcore. And they are just collateral damage. I had a short dude on one side, who wouldn't back the hell up, so the elbows (my elbows) he kept catching were his own fault. On my other side I had a giant wall of a man. He did not move. (Like at all. It was almost creepy.) I lost count of all the times I bounced off of him. But he never flinched. Just total stoneface. (I'm saying, I could hang with that dude. I like my men tall, dark, and immovable.) The opening bands were alright, Since Forever was the best IMHO. But really they were just filling time till my band came out. I may add a video or two later. It kinda depends on if Blogger want's to be cooperative or not. Or (more importantly) if I feel lazy or not.
