BTW

Just on a side note, I've been thinking about redoing the site layout again. It's been the same since last summer and I feel it needs some renovation. So while I had that idea in mind I also decided to look through the other stuff on the site that also ought to be restructured. My little cleanup mission led me to "ye old archives of entries" I wrote several years ago, which turned out to be an extremely embarassing archive of entries. Christ... what kind of person would actually willingly give a stupid little 10 year old kid with the inability of stringing sentences together and use proper grammar and punctuation (well... I still don't know how the hell to use commas... )': their own blog to pollute the internet with mindless crap? I must have been a VERY DEMANDING child. That said, I think I deleted half my site yesterday.

However, I did come across an entry about a family trip to Forks/La Push some 4 or 5 years back. My sources tell me this was before the publication of a certain vampire romance novel. SUCK IT TWILIGHTERS

Sinful Attraction

So... I've had an interesting summer so far. I went to the Oregon coast for a week (I probably already said that before) and then my friend Amber came and stayed here for a week so we showed her around Seattle and stuff (she's from CT). And afterwords I went to stay with her. I got to go to NYC other places which I will most likely write about in another badly written blog post sometime soon.

I definitely have said all that before

But due to lack of time and motivation (mostly lack of motivation) I'm just going to post pictures from the Tori Amos concert that Amber and I went to. Maybe when I have a moment I'll upload some others from the past few weeks... but for now, just these:

moar pictures this way--->

So

Tori was amazing. The setlist was amazing. The whole show was amazing. Just amazing. I have an amazing vocabulary too.

I guess I might as well mention that this was my third time seeing her live... but only the first time it actually meant anything to me. As a 10 year old, there was nothing for me to find in her music. She was just a pianist who's concerts I went to so I could stay up late on a school night. But now as a teenage girl who has a great appreciation for good music ;) and can relate to her songs, it was a completely different experience. An experience I hope I can have again in the future, because the concerts I went to in the past were definitely wasted on me.

Anyway...

She "wore green for the emerald city" and was in this interesting pose for most of the show (:

intense hair flip

I have no idea what picture corresponds to what song, but I know for a fact that this was Past The Mission (sadly, with no suprise guest appearance by TR ):

At some point during the show (somewhere near the end) she forgot the lyrics. "oh, fuck the lyrics". Only Tori (:

I did enjoy hearing the new songs live, but my favourites that she played were Precious Things, Bliss, and Icicle. She also made me fall in love with Sugar after playing it that night.

The merch was pretty cool too. I got a Maybe California shirt.

And now you get to hear my little rant: I took videos at the concert. I was really excited because this was the first show of the tour and everyone was dying to see what would happen. But since my shitty little camera is old and shitty the sound quality (well... the overall quality) turned out really shitty so the videos suck. Some d00d Robert Schrader took all the youtube glory by taping the entire show and providing the world with flawless footage. Haha... not trying to pick on you. Just jealous ;D Go watch his videos.

But if anyone is interested in my videos (hah, if only I had posted this a week or two earlier when people actually still CARED), well.. here's:

Past The Mission
Big Wheel
Welcome To England

And a video I put together from clips of most of the show.

I think that's all the babbling that needed to be done... Congratulations! Go home now!

Do I Have Regrets?

Hai. I realized I haven't posted anything since the MWM show... Well, that will definitely be changed soon since these past few weeks have been really intense.

I just came back from the Tori Amos concert in Seattle. Wow. Do I have regrets? Well, not yet. Ahahaha, definitely not. Pictures/videos SOON.

I also went to the Oregon coast for a week (for my friend's 16th birthday party). And at the moment my friend Amber is staying with us and we're going to fly to NY together to stay at her home for a week. Funfun!

Annnnnd, I also have pictures from the 4th of July fireworks show in Gas Works Park. Those will probably be up first and I'll try not to title the entry "lights in the sky"...

...Speaking of which. I think the last wave of nin shows ever have been announced. And WA isn't one of the stops. Fack :'(
