So Thursday night was the Emilie Autumn concert, and I went with a friend who I haven't seen in AGES, Dee. And if you don't know who Emilie Autumn is, I demand you follow each of these links or I will have to do a friends cut:

http://bonnytymepyrate.livejournal.com/profile (EMILIE'S LJ! :D) That should do for now.

But ANYWAY, how was the concert, you ask? Let me show you with Freddie Benson:


FUCKING AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Oh, oops. Emilie told Veronica (the "naughty" Bloody Crumpet) that it's not good to curse, but if you can be a lady again if you say "indeed" right after. ("ARE YOU READY MOTHERFUCKERRRRRRRRSSSSS?! Indeed.") I was VERY close to the stage (it was at the Hawthorne, so no seats), so close that I could touch her when she leaned out, and if I shoved a bit. And I was really close to the center. It was seriously, SERIOUSLY AMAZING. She opened with "The Best Safety Lies In Fear", during which each Bloody Crumpet came onto the stage, doing their own things. Th Crumpets on this tour were Captain Maggot, Contessa, Aprella and Veronica. Then, Emilie Autumn came on stage and did "4 o'Clock" and it was AMAZING.

Dee had this look on her face that made me want to turn to her and sing "And you jizzed in your pants!" But hell, I'm pretty sure everyone there was, myself included. But not the six-year-old girl. Yes, there was a little girl there, shouting "I LOVE YOU EMILIE!!!" It was SO ADORABLE! :D

It's really impossible to describe an Emilie Autumn concert. Captain Maggot did a stage dive and I carried her a bit! That was sooooooo magical! And Veronica played the Rat Game. She said she needed a volunteer to demonstrate: Had to be a girl, over 18, and had never kissed a girl. Someone "innocent" she could corrupt (to which the little girl shouted "I'm innocent!!") I met all the criteria, hell, I've never kissed ANYONE, male, female, other. And how awesome would it have been if my first kiss was with a Bloody Crumpet? I rose my hand, and after the "over 18" thing was said, Dee put her hand down (she's 17) and rose MY hand higher, at one point lifting me up and carrying me closer to Veronica, pointing frantically at me, while I was shouting that I'd never kissed anyone. There was also a guy next to us who brought along a stuffed rat (that got to "kiss" Emilie's rat tail), and he even started pointing to me. XD Buuuttttt.... Veronica picked a girl who was crying with excitement. I was disappointed, of course, but she obviously wanted it more. (It's not like I would have counted it as my first kiss when I finally have a meaningful first kiss, but it would still be an awesome anecdote, and would maybe help me be less confused. More on that in another post.)

AND MAGGOT HULA HOOPED WITH FIRE I AM NOT FUCKING KIDDING YOU IT WAS FUCKING AMAZING OH MY GODDESS!!!! She also spit her tea (or Gatorade?) all over the audience and I was so sticky and drenched by the end. The other Crumpets where just splashing tea on everyone. She also threw a cookie in my direction and it hit the ground, but Dee dove for it and shared it with me. So, I can now say that I have eaten off the floor of the Hawthorne.

"I Want My Innocence Back" was so... Oh Goddess. That song still hits me so hard. "I Know Where You Sleep" was fucking awesome. And don't even get me started on "Liar"! "Mad Girl" was so cool. Once, right after "How does the prince say he loves you?" she screamed "LIAR!" All her talk about avenging Mad Girls everywhere got me so pumped and I felt empowered and amazing I remember why I fell so deeply in love with her music in the first place.

Here's a playlist on YouTube I've compiled (and hopefully more will be added) of the concert. I didn't take any of the footage, though. No one has posted the cover of "Bohemian Rhapsody" which made me SO HAPPY.

It was amazing. Emilie was awesome, hilarious, full of energy, and oh-so-much-fucking-more. Oh my Goddess. I just... I can't describe it. It was so amazing.

I should just post this already.

A bit of a general update at about 3:00 AM...

STILL on a Lord of the Rings high. This is my longest LotR high ever.

I saw Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince with my friend today/yesterday, and it was awesome. However, thanks to "My Immortal", some parts were just weird, like the discussion about Dumbledore's age made me think of the especially hilarious line: '“YOU ARE NOT FIT TO BE THE PRINCIPAL ANY LONGER!” yelled Rumbridge. “YOU ARE TOO OLD AND YOUR ALZHEIMERS IS DANGEROUS! YOU MUST RETRY OR VOLDEMORT WILL KILL YOUR STUDENTS!”' That's right, your Alzheimer's is dangerous. And stupid spoilers I read when the book came out. Keep in mind that I don't read the books. I'd like to, and I've read some, but I just could never sit down and read them. But some day I'll go through and read them all. Anyway, some troll posted it on a forum. ( Spoilers for HPB )

Moving on, I'm going to see Emilie Autumn in concert!!!!!! YAYAYAYAY!!!!!!!!!!!! It's not until October and I can't wait. She is so amazing. I hope to be Éowyn for Halloween, and because the concert is just two days before, I'll probably wear my costume to it.

You know what? Arwen/Aragorn is waaaaaaaaaaaaay more romantic than Edward/Bella by like, 1000000000000000000%. Of course, Edward/Bella is a very unromantic couple, but I have a specific reason. Isn't giving up your immortality to be with your mortal lover MUCH more of a beautiful, romantic, and well, sexy concept than becoming immortal for your hawt sparklepire? Growing old together is beautiful.

OH MY FRAKKING GODS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

THE TORI AMOS CONCERT WAS LAST NIGHT!!!!!!!

AND IT WAS AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My friend came with me, and it was her first concert ever, and our seats were in the fourth row. The fourth fucking row. From the stage. I was so close to Tori Amos. Oh my Goddess.

We bought shirts that quoted "Police Me". "Perhaps the answer to the question/Lies in the question."

She started with "Give" and it was amazing. She covered "River" by Joni Mitchell and then played "Winter" and it was absolutely beautiful. "Winter" is my favorite Tori song. She played a lot of songs I didn't recognize immediately, which made me sad for myself. But I guess I didn't listen to the new album enough.

I almost cried during "Little Earthquakes". Seriously. So amazing. So stunning. So incredible. That song gets to me.

And the encore was "Big Wheel" which is my favorite from ADP. And just before the encore a bunch of people ran up to the stage and danced and we joined them so we were right in front of Tori for "Big Wheel" and everyone clapped and a lot of people clapped one beat more than the song asked and she turned to the audience to sing "Don't you forget" and OMFG!!!!!!!

Did I mention it was amazing?

She also played "Precious Things" and it was so incredibly powerful and perfect and I wanted to stand up and head bang. I love that song so much. And oh my Gods, "Strong Black Vines" was awesome.

It was so amazing.

EXCEPT! For these two assholes in front of us. I don't even know why the fuck they were there. They weren't enjoying themselves in the least bit. They were mocking everyone, even Tori herself. I mean, WTF?! Why get such incredible seats for a performer you don't even like?! And yes, the woman who was REALLY into it in my row would seem odd if you don't understand Tori's music and the way it touches people, which obviously you two assholes don't, so you two were total dickheads to mock her for enjoying music that made her happy. (The woman was just waving her arms and lipsyncing along to every song and shouting "WE LOVE YOU TORI" in between songs. I get it completely.) And they were so fucking distracting that I missed MY FAVORITE LINE IN "WINTER"!!! The part "I hear a voice you must learn to stand up/For yourself cause I can't always be around." MY FAVORITE FUCKING LINE IN MY FAVORITE FUCKING SONG. THANKS YOU LOT ASSHOLES!!! You know that SNL sketch, "Two A-Holes at a _____"? They were pretty much that couple, without the gum. Seriously, they were even mocking the way she played piano!!! GET A FUCKING LIFE!!!!

But other then that couple, it was SO FUCKING AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh, and here's the set list, thanks to toriamos

( So you heard I crossed over the line... )

Seriously, if you EVER get the chance to see Tori live, TAKE IT!!!!

I would have loved it if she played "The Waitress" and/or "Silent All These Years", but oh my Goddess, I SAW TORI AMOS LIVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

*dies happy*

Hey. Yesterday?

I caught a frakking Coelacanth in Animal Crossing: Wild World yesterday.

In case you don't know, it's the rarest of the rarest of the rarest of rare fish in all three AC games. AND I FUCKING CAUGHT IT!!!

YES!!!

And in the same day, I upgraded my house to one of the last upgrades. (The back room.)

I'm loving my new graduation laptop. I've been playing a bunch of City of Heroes. Anyone on my flist play? I'm not too social in MMORPGs, but I'd be happy to team up with someone I know!

(The Coelacanth is also a real fish, like all creatures in the game... Except Dr. Shrunk...)

OH HEY LEVERAGE IS FILMING IN PORTLAND NOW AND I LIVE LIKE UBER CLOSE TO PORTLAND AND I WANT TO SEE THEM FILM AND MEET PARKER AND CHRISTIAN KANE AND EVERYONE AND WIL WHEATON IS IN TOWN RIGHT NOW FILMING AN EPISODE OF LEVERAGE AND OMG SQUEEEEEEEE!!!!!
