Erika: No, i didnt cry. bwahahaha!! I've completely gone over that. I will never cry in front of a person i would deem popular ever again.
we are.. kinda.. ripping off other bands. but its hard. its only the both of us and I'm not that into electronica. =_=; but yes, i told her that and she said she loves you. <3
You bastard! I will never have mixed-breed children! I will have freegin filipino children~! because I'm awesome. and Im a racist. my child will be the anti-christ of cultural one-ness!! all hail my soon to be gay son!
isnt "Melon Collie" that joke from Stewie in Family Guy?
YEY! you finally watched Advent children. my only problem is that you like/not bothered with aerith... why? i mean... WHY?!
...
bear with me as i re-type this whole event. I should hit myself for restarting the computer and with a really long entry left unsaved.
all the joy has been sucked out by tired feet due to long walks and long hours of standing and most importantly: converse shoes. they hurt like hell.
but here i go:
tuesday, straight after work, i caught the 403 bus to philadelphia with an almost daring plan conducted by lauren, my bandmate and fellow concert-goer. The plan was, she'll reach the same bus as I would and we'd both go straight to philly.
it was quite annoying since many... itims... like to talk to me in public transportation areas. (why?!) and so i got on the bus and waited anxiously till I hit laurens stop.
so happy that we caught the same bus. part of me felt that this is all daring and so james bond and stuff like that... I dont know why. I blame all spy movies. oh. and i got peanut butter cookies. <3
soon, the bus started getting empty, and thats when I finally changed my pants into a skirt; lauren thought was absolutely silly. because changing clothing in a public transportation is forbidden or just weird. but for some reason... it seemed normal.
we were dropped off at an earlier stop and we proceeded to go to the concert. we were a bit late, thus posibilities about being in the very front are well ruined. we did a make-shift thing by going deep from the very side and push our way in, following another group of people that were pusing in.
The opening band was "Stars" They were fucking awesome. I heart their instrumentals and the male vocalist's trumpet. I felt a bit... awkward that people can easily see the female vocalist's panties because she was kinda bouncing around with her tiny skirt.
but all and all, it was great. one semi yaoi moment though when the gutarist was swinging his guitar towards the keyboardist and was giving a naughty "oh yea~" to him. The keyboardist was looking at the keyboard then awkwardly, for a brief moment at the guitarist; then back at the keyboard again thinking, "wtf?!"
during the whole time a group of friends infront of me were fucking annoying. from my right side, they pushed their way to the front. and they were TALL. BASTARDS. They were dancing around in a compact area-- so obviously, i get pushed around with all the motion.
Death cab came on, polite and brief, and started playing songs. their opening was "new years revolution" with their fancy lights that were freakishly blinding.
anyway. ben gibbard was there, in his light brown short sleeved polo and dark brown cordoroy pants. and kept switching guitars for every song. the effects were great. I was kinda sad that there wasnt a lot of in-between... "dialogue" with the audience.
now the persons in the front were gone, their evil smoking and butt pushing with them. but now there are fangirls behind me, who love screaming the lyrics off key.
...my ears...
pretty much when it ended, ben gibbards light brown shirt has turned dark brown. the thing that I'm wondering the most is, why is it that he sweats like hell while his other band mates are... not... sweaty looking.
~
at the end of the show, my friend and i waited for them for one hour to show up. what we got was chris walla, the keyboardist/guitarist of death cab. he was very nice with everyone and tended to everyone who were waiting.
interesting, that bands people look for a very nice Sharpie (the marker). it seems to be the only marker they like.
I was the only one carrying a sharpie because people get searched before going in the concert and they confiscate pens.
chris walla: who has a pen
candalf: i do
chris walla: can i borrow it?
candalf: sure. will you pay me?
chris walla: *pause* yea. sure.
candalf: with the free food they give in electric factory?
chris walla: wait... we didnt get any free food.
candalf: WHAT?!
and so i lent it to him anyway and he was very light hearted about it all <3
candalf: do you mind if i ask how your band started?
chris walla: no, i dont mind. its acutally a typical band story. you know we were in school. we're friends. ben was in a band. I wasnt in a band.
lauren: dude, that's us. we have a band
candalf: we kinda suck.
lauren: we conceptualize the whole time
candalf: and practice oh so rarely. what was your ratio of conceptualizing to acutal practice?
chris walla: acutally its 7 to 1.
lackadaisical toasters: *cheers*
chris walla: we played so many shows with just a small number of people. and a million paybacks that sucked.
candalf: nice to know we're on the right track.
and so he went around to sign and take pictures in the freezing cold, just wearing a shirt and a polo. brave man.
thirty minutes later ben gibbard showed up and at the same time the dudes from stars showed up. and I only realized it when the keyboardist, the last person leaving, was from stars and I completely missed the other members.
everyone rushed to ben gibbard on sight. i was torn between ben gibbard and the only dude in stars i can talk to. so i did, talk to Chris Seligman, the keyboardist of stars.
basically, the conversation was long and I learned that:
1. stars took 5 years to get there
2. chris seilgman has a degree in music in french horn
3. ben gibbard didnt go to music school. the bastard.
most importantly, he told us to quit college and go into music. <3 I love people who do that.
finally we bid farewell and great show to the keyboardist and went to ben gibbard who was about to leave. I came up to him after he was hugging his other fans that have been talking to him for a while.
I asked him to sign my ticket.
check.I asked him for a hug.
check.I asked him for a kiss on the cheek. then did a "stop right there"-look away pose and said never mind. I realize I was getting too annoying.
I'm so annoying. and thats where i just embarassed myself. It never ends...
...
part of me thinks that I forced ben gibbard to a hug. and he was so adorable with his hands in his pockets and smiling. <3 And I wish i could write a letter to colin meloy and say,
ben gibbard hugged me, bitch. and he was so nice. but an ass for making us wait long. chris walla was so nice <3 I hearts him forever~!
...
My god-sister just recently had her baby! *cheers*
and I'm the ninang. *pause*
I'm uberly grateful but I feel unfit to bear such a responsibility. Im all:
whoa. thanks dude, but i have a feeling your mom suggested that i'd be the ninang. because I havent talked to you in years and when i last saw you, I was in my pjs and being very shy and introverted. but I'll try to imagine me being a ninang. hmm.. if the baby's a boy, I'm completely making him gay. <3 because i believe in love! and if she's a girl... I hope she doesnt turn out to be a bitch.
any kid that will be connected to me must have a sense of shame and be freakishly cheap. and will not dress sluty.
bwahaha~.
...
oh *tear* gaara. I'm so happy that your alive and your hotness will live on <3 kya!
and and and masashi kishimoto has a new character up... irk. the character seems so... cheesy. some dude without emotion. >_> c'mon, kishimoto. you can be more original than that.
well, I'm sure there'll be some twist in it or something. like he develops this crush towards naruto or something. =D
...
I'd like to apologize for my not-posting-a-lot phase. i dont know if it will ever get back. lately, Ive been watching tv more and I guess i prefer to relax and sit around and have something or someone entertain me.
work has been great. my co-worker got her finger cut (not off. but on the side of the finger, from the knuckle to the finger joint thing) and she showed me the stitches.
*shiver* it looks like it's plastic or something. can you imagine when they take it out?! OH MY GODS!! *squemish* I'm supposed to be the nurse here...
..oh greta. my co-worker was injured and got nine stitches. are you turned on? because I was fucking creeped.
...
dear lord, something in me just died when i went to hottopic.com.
they're promoting their naruto tees. after a while, my jaw hurt from staring in disbelief at what i was seeing.
;_; MUST YOU TAKE EVERYTHING FROM ME?!!! YOU SON OF A <------->!!!!!!!!!!!!
I hate fucking corporate america so much,

hey bitches. guess who met
colin meloy from the back door of the concert yesterday. oh yes!
it was a rainy night after one kickass performance. I never thought that they would out do their previous performance but they did. Colin Meloy was such a sweetheart to the audience and he was very courtious and did crazy stuff for them.
One of his most daring acts was that he climed the side railings of the area. yes. and then he dangled himself above the crowd with only one hand and one foot on the railings. Which brings me to my two points:
1. Colin Meloy was on top of me
2. My friend and I got crotch shots <3
Near the ending he actually convinced the whole crowd to sit down on the ground with his adorable gestures. and then brought us all back up and bouncing to his awesome songs.
At first thinking that $25 fucking dollars for a decemberist tee was fucking expensive. but those basterds made it seem all worth it--- but fear not fellow filipinos. i didnt buy it.
because I was waiting for his apperance in the back door. it was raining. and my friend and i had to struggle under a pathetic excuse of an umbrella bought from divisoria.
this crazy, yet friendly fangirl and her friends were also there, wild about seeing Colin Meloy come out to the loading dock. but after 20 mins of waiting and wind starting to come strong-- they left. Leaving my friend and i and another small group of older fans.
The minute after that group left colin meloy came out with the bassist. My heart stopped for a second. I couldnt believe my eyes. There was the guy that I've been admireing. The bastard with his awesome stage adventures and goddammed creative-writing-major lyrics.
He looked down on us(My chin to the building's floor length) and crouched down and shook his fans' hands. my friend pushed me to him because I didnt know whether im wet because of the rain or i just pissed myself. but indeed, my hands wet from the rain, it touched his hand and... and and .... "marry me..."- did not come out of my mouth.
One of his fans said something about signing an autograph and I quickly whipped out my ticket stub and asked him to sign it, soon everyone whipped out their ticket stub and the signing commensed.
as he was signing i asked him a question:
candalf: in your song the Mariners Revenge, what does the mariner say in the end?
colin meloy: what do you mean *signing other peoples tickets*
candalf: you know, the last part before he kills the guy he said "these are the last words you'll hear." you never said what it was.
colin meloy: I'll leave that to your imagination. something violent
candalf: you mean... sexual violence?
colin meloy: *laughs* thinks:
man, ive gont a twisted and perverted fan...I couldnt talk to him anymore because I didnt want to look stupid and and and and... yes. I had nothing to say. GASP!
but too late, learly on, on oct 12, my friend made it clear to me that "there are the last words you'll ever hear" ARE THE LAST WORDS HE'LL EVER HEAR! oh my gods candalf. you were stupid infront of another person you admire.
that would explain the slight confusing that stirred in him mind as he looked at me again. when you think about it, its like, "what else can you say after saying that?"
*digs a hole and crawls in it* damnz it! I... i... am damaged beyond repair. guess who cant say anything to anyone during the upcoming Death Cab concert. *frustrated*
but if we ever meet again, I will completely redeem myself. and i hope i wont fuck that up:
colin meloy: oh, i remember you. you're that sexual violence girl.
candalf: yes, about that... remember that question i aked you. it was a trick question. YES! it was.
colin meloy: ...ok.... did i pass?
candalf: hmm... depends if you wanna make out *wink*
my friend on the other had got her spark when one of the other fans asked colin meloy his other favorite bands. once he mentioned: the smiths- my friend got crazy.
and ladies and gentlemen: he KNOWS ben gibbard and stephen malkamus. *GASP~!*
dude: who are your influences?
colin meloy: the smiths
friend: OH MY GOD! i love them <3. who else do you like?
...
friend:we have a band
colin meloy: oh really
friend: yea. we're inspired by you and we're also going to be the female Pavement. and we're going to rip you off
colin meloy: go ahead. we ripped off other bands too.
and she had a moment <3 rather two moments. and I, one moment and an imaginary come back. i hope when we meet again next year, he wont remember me.... *hides in some dark corner*
and comes my second announcement: Yes. I am in a band. not really a band but its just the two if us. I wasnt going to announce about it until we made a song. but apparently she told colin meloy that so, someone in the music biz knows and so that means its official.
the name of our band is: The Lackadaisical Toasters.
and god knows it took me forever to learn how to spell "Lackadaisical". =_=
And we will be popular and we'll rake in the money and I'll spend it on jap adolecents for aurora, injured japs for greta, and little jap boys for erika.
and everyone haves fun right? And I get to marry Colin Meloy because I'm entitled to dream and be dilusional because he is the nicest, most patient and creative and most decent looking artist there is!
--who might have a girlfriend but still! its not like I'm stalking him and i cling to his every word.
--ok. i admit it. during the concert, i WAS clinging to his every word. and I was smitten by him and his god damnz charisma and voice and accent and niceness and and and the possibility of him being 1/2 chinese. DAMZ! he's 1/2 white and 1/2 chinese! the two cultures i hate.
I think it was ment to be. *tear* but still one day, when the Lackadaisical Toasters rise, he'll ask US if he can be our opening band! and tells us that he loves us and knows that we exist.
...
navi: awesome. but alas. I am not of the gaming world since year 2000/1. I only love their musical composers. *tear*
aurora: dude. I think concaves only exist in the anime world. O_o;;; I still havent met anyone with a concave. the only concave i saw was by eric forman in that 70's show and thats because he's like 1/3 a person.
I'm gonna have to say that erika is not intolerant. -- oh my gods. double negativeS!!!!
I'm the poorest suger mommy in the history of man kind. I need a fucking job!
damnit aurora! just admit it: you lust after erika! your OTHER SISTER ;_; its twisted and disturbing. like those two lesbians that i saw in the concert that gave me the heebie-jeebies. *shiver*
Greta: everyones older than you T_T
dude, did you know that mitsuda tried to pull an orchestra with xenosaga I? *gasp* the bastard! i say it was ok. it sounded very... american (read: bland). not as dramatic as yoko kanno.
...you read notes? wha--? I didnt get what you said. but it sounds like you're evolving in the music department.
oh dude, my friend just burned you. he said that tchacovsky is like the britney spears of classical--- BURN!!!!
no! you should really taste the meatloaf my friend made. its homemade, thus made with love of home and food <3
how many times do i have to tell you: you getting rejected was your own fault. now suck it up and be a... a... umm... lover! if we didnt reject you then you and your hima wouldnt have been engaged. ^_^
greta... you want erika?!! your own SISTER!!! ...or was it niece...?
i consider us all to be imaginative because we have devised the ultimate soap opera. but I'm sure by the time when we are all rich and powerful we'll make an even better soap opera that will compleatly over throw desperate housewives. it will have hot jap boys, injuries and more!
sweetie, not all chicks dig the cassanova act. we love you just the carrot you are ^_^ <3
Erika: you'll forget your first love when the computer doesnt do a good job of reading the thingy wingies... when I played chrono trigger on the desktop, it was so annyoing >_<
so erika, do you admit that you arte dominatrix material? (--bossy) because everyone seems to want to see that. I cant imagine it. I can only see you between laughing and awkward as you whip some dude and apologise for it and look ofr some hot guy to whip him instead.
I'm not tolerant. I admit it. <3
...
bastards of the world!!! I'm getting a very "B" vibe from all my tests. *fumes*. WHY A *B*?!!! I'm in fucking america. damn it! i curse colin meloy! because of him i couldnt concentrate with my studies.
... because i am horrible infatuated with his image. I cant say that i love him because i dont know him so I'll settle with, I'm obsessed with what he shows to be.
I got into nursing baby. *tear* just when i was having a crisis in "maybe i dont want to be a nurse anymore" department
i'd like to thank aurora and my mom who was there for me. ^_^
and and and... I think i shall live my youth to the fullest! yes i will try to be more impulsive and less introverted. morely because I have a dream career to fulfill and we need more connections and what-nots.
...
So far, my top songs are:
1. On the bus mall -the decemberists
2. Naked girl -the velvet teen
3. Siren 2 -asian kung fu generation
...
there was a gay guy on television talking about Tom Cruise. and he said: "If he wasnt short, then there'd be no justice in the world."
and I hate him. because he prevented Nicole kidman from taking anti depressants. because he's living a happy life and he wants her to suffer.
i mean, sure, dont take anti depressants but he's not going to help you to be happy. I say kill tom cruise! because he's a fag! --wait! i love fags...
umm.. kill Tom Cruise because he's WHITE!! YESS!!!!!
...
I just had to add the good news and bad news:
bad news: colin meloy said that if he was invited to play in the OC, he said "FUCK YEAH!"
good news: colin meloy is just 10 years older than me <3 youngest bastard i ever liked!!!!
and I
GOTS A JOB AT BATH AND BODY WORKS, BITCH!!!!
