Gig last night

So yeah myself, Graham, Doug and Carolina (?) all went to see Sonata Arctica last night and it was fucking awesome. They don't half put on one hell of a shoe. The singer is a complete mental case and has complete control of the crowd at several points. Support band was Pagan's Mind, they were quite interesting and I do mean interesting in a good way for a change. I got my ticket signed by the singer.

There is a major issue though in being that I am a short arse. Everyone was towering over me. I basically had to stand on my tip toes the whole night which was a laugh. Although on saying that I am a short arse with a temper. I was unfortunate enough to be stuck at the edge of pit which is never ever fun. I have a rather sore chest from where some idiot elbowed me twice in as many minutes. I'm just of the belief that pits are the most pointless thing. I mean someone please explain to me why it is fun or productive to throw yourself into another person and in the process fall all over yourself into the other patrons of the gig. It's clearly a test of who is the most macho or butch...grr look at me I'm huge and an asshole, that makes me worthy of your time. How about no you toss pot. Maybe I'm just getting old or whatever, but I just think a pit is a complete waste of time. You end up basically missing the band cos you are so busy knocking lumps out of each other and then make others angry. I say those of us who actually like to watch the band without fear of major injury start a petition to get separate sections in venues for those folk who do want to pit and then that way they are only hurting each other. Maybe it's the animal instinct to impress a potential mate by showing masculinity, either way I hate pits and more to the point I hate most of the idiots that participate in them, usually cos they appear to have absolutely no brain.

Perhaps I offended some folks with that wee rant, but like I care. No one is forcing you to read this and after all it's a blog where I can spout my personal opinion to my hearts content and everyone is entitled to an opinion. This just happens to be what my opinion is today.

I actually feel all empowered, not by the above rant, just in general. I am probably the happiest and most content that I have been for a long time. It feels good.

Whoosh! So I'm not sure if I have anything else to really say. I was all girly looking today, brought out my purple and black goth skirt today. Teamed it up with a black vest top and I looked hot as fuck. Skirt is a pain in the ass though, it's so long and floaty that it makes sitting in a chair with wheels a bit of a hassle, but it was so worth it.

Anyway, I am going to sign off for just now, may write more later, we shall see.
