THINGS I LOVE THURSDAY.

♥ this band, and this man:

i just cannot wait until end of april. i do realise song doesn't sound that amazing, but i dont care. it's probably not the final version... i miss sonny boy. i haven't seen him since.. glasgow? february 2006. i did see him on stage in april 2007, but i didn't get a chance to speak to him, he snuck off somewhere. escaping the screaming fangirls i guess. but i spoke to him on the phone couple of days later. i can't remember if i rang him, or he rang me, but he was getting ready for another gig, swedenside. in make up, ha. and sylle was opening his voice in the background. he said he was sorry we hadn't got a chance to talk. it was a weird trip home. they better come this way, or i will cry. i have a letter somewhere i wrote him ages ago, i should send it to him. check if he still has the same address, i've got some zines to send him. i sent him kersa x years ago, i think before we met, properly and he thought it was brilliant. ha. said i should write the manifesto for the state of the ark. bless him. he really is one of the most awesome people i've ever met and i don't care if you think he's lame or whatever.. i'm still going to get the tattoo he was trying to talk me out of having last time. "angelhead". i was going to get it in his handwriting but turns out his isn't that nice. ha. "what if you hate us one day?" he asked me, and i told him "well, then it will remind me of all the fun i had and all the nice people i met through you."

i also found also found some sort of extremely embarrassing proof of me and my friends being embarrassing fangirls in broken swedish. that was the first time they put us on guest list. we sort of spent the whole day sitting outside tavastia where they played, queueing even though no one else showed up. but i'd sort of got the taste of queueing from manics gigs so we did it. and found out the gig was sold out, which we hadn't expected at all for some reason. and the boys were very lovely and put us on the list! actually, i don't think i've paid to see them since. except for some extreme traveling to get to the gigs. done a few whole tours and all. those were the fucking days.

i think that's actually all i can think of today. i sound like a twat, don't i? oh, i don't give a damn if i do.

sleeps, originally uploaded by ambird.

things that make me happy at the moment:

♥ zines zines zines! i have a small pile of zines to read and a list to make of zines i want to distro soon.

♥ harry potter audiobooks. carl was complaining last night that i don't spend any time with him, just harry, and this thing :/ so i watched the end of collateral damage with him.

♥ millionaire's shortbread

♥ calling carl diddums

♥ the bed. i wish i could stay in there FOREVER.

♥ russell howard's good news

♥ looking at blythe dolls. i think i'd rather like an ichigo heaven or miss sally rice, if i were to get a stock doll. i should really do something about winifred's hair.



♥ THE ARK ARE BACK IN THE STUDIO MAKING MUSIC. best news of the day. so added to my google reader. i love them so much. and miss them even more, i will cry big fat tears if they don't come and play london so i can try to steal sylle's bowler hat again and have weird conversations about the heteronormative nature of rocknroll. it's been too long.

THINGS I LIKE THURSDAY

♥ colouring in my silly drawings to make them look actually quite nice.



♥ true blood - i only just started the other day because a) i like vampires and b) it looked a billion times better than bloody twilight which is a pile of fluffy mary sue kack written by a 12 year old. ugh. & i'm loving it. half way through first season because every episode ends with such a bloody cliffhanger i have to watch the next one right away. i've always had a thing for vampires, when i was a youngling i used to devour the little vampire books. i'm actually semi-working on my own twist on the cliches...



♥ "beautiful breakfast tortillas" from jamie's america cookbook. my new favourite thing ever. so yummy. i'm going to try to have the time / energy to make it for my breakfast tomorrow morning too.

in other news: i'm off to brighton tomorrow morning. i'll be back sunday afternoon and that's the end of my glorious one week holiday. i wish i had a bit longer. i still feel like shit. the holiday hasn't helped at all with the knackered feeling. everything's just too much and i really do not want to go back to work ever again. i wish i could have even just one extra day away from that place. you'd think being away for a week would help, but i guess it isn't just that place. it's everything that's too much.

THINGS I LOVE THURSDAY

♥ PMMP - finnish pop/rock band. i decided the other day that they're like a finnish version of girls aloud. tv talent contest rejects, started disposable and forgettable in our eyes (though "no good advice" is my favourite girls aloud song..) and grew up to be fucking awesome. i'm pretty sure my two favourite songs are about domestic violence ending in manslaughter/murder ("joku raja") and rape ("kovemmat kädet", but i'm not sure about that one, it's just a feeling i get from the lyrics.) sometimes i really miss the finnish language and last night sitting on the bed, listening to "joku raja" on repeat i rambled about it into a letter. maybe i'll copy that rant and put it in a zine one day. actually. i think i'm going to make a zine in finnish.. i don't know who's going to ever read it, but i need to re-acquaint myself with my mother tongue.

JOKU RAJA - PMMP
KOVEMMAT KÄDET - PMMP

♥ and speaking of.. zines zines zines. i just ordered the latest TRUCKFACE from stranger danger along with other things. though with my luck, lb's sent me a copy already, that's what happened with the last issue. so i gave the extra one to my friend kasper. i've got a fairly decent box full of distro stock. i just need to write descriptions, decide how we're going to do the postage and do all the shopping cart etc. i think tomorrow i'm taking a couple of zines to work with me and try to write descriptions during my breaks. its getting ridiculous.

♥ the fact this weekend is a bank holiday weekend and i have an extra day off. also, my boss is off tomorrow so i get to not be excessively annoyed at him. lately he's been like a small child high on gallons of ribena. very annoying to be stuck in an office with. i regularly threaten to beat him with a small baseball bat that i can easily reach from my chair. also, five more working days and I AM ON HOLIDAY for a whole week. 9 glorious work free days. i'm going to zine, work on the distro, sleep & cuddle and most probably go to brighton for a few days to visit emma & attend the september zine social. that's my summer holiday.

♥ i've got lemon cheesecake in the fridge. i'm not sure it's still alright though.
