Hey, what do ya know, I'm back... and with a real post this time which is nice! *cheers herself pathetically* Man, I sooo badly need a life. And F*@K eBay! I'm going nuts staring at these auctions so addictively (is that, like, even a word? *shrugs* It'll do I guess, you get the point, right?) Down to business...

Listening to: Ministry - 'Filth Pig'/'Jesus built my hotrod', Metallica - 'Sandman' and Matchbox 20 ****** brow* WTF?!?

Drinking/eating: Water, what else? *D'uh!*

Wearing: Clothes. It's too cold to go naked. And too distracting while you type. Things 'jiggle'... I assume so anyway *laughs stupidly*

Windows open: LPF, eBay, my Word doc (LPFanfic #10!! 202pgs!! Beat that Jammer!! *pokes tongue out*), Outlook express and Linkin Park Times. I love you Jas. You're a true ***! Right up there around Rob somewhere... except a few steps down the pedestal, naturally *grins* Sorry, Rob's my boy. Just don't tell my cat that, he'll scratch my eyes out!!

Okay. Lots to say so I'll get on with it. Let me try a new format. Here, see if you relate to this easier;

* My lesbain housemate moved her stuff out today.

* My old best friend and her girlfriend moved back into town (sort of) during the week.

* Jammer's dad passed away. She's gone back home to Cairns to visit with rellies. As it stands right at this minute it's just me and the 6 (yes 6!) cats home alone. Thank *** for my stereo. Neighbours now officially hate Linkin Park (not really. It's a wonder though!)

* Speaking of stereo, paid final payment this afternoon. 6 months and $500 later I now officially own it. Very cool.

* House-sat for my brother last week in Brisbane. Also looked after my 3y/o nephew while he (my brother) went out to a friend's wedding. That was fun *gushes* Some kids can be so cute at times. Others...

* Kittens are a month old now and running all over the place like ferals. Cute as all **** though. Two have homes to go to. Two look like they will be going to pet store/animal shelter. Started 'toilet training' the otherday. Fun and games.

* Had house inspection. Passed. Got offered to sign a continuing 6 month lease. Accepted it. Now I have a roof over my head for Xmas, great stuff!

* Had arguement with my brother about going home for Xmas this year. Coonamble (where our Mum lives) is a dusty cell-pool of nothing. Human excrement has more appeal than this place but after 8 years of avoiding it I'm going back to visit. He doesn't want to/can't. Had trouble as a youth there and fears going back. Is a family war... I'm tired of it, really.

* Rediscovered eBay. Have been playing up fiercely while Jammer's not here. Been raiding my savings account for LP merch. Have 4 items I'm watching closely at present. Don't want to jinx myself before auction end save to say I'm probably gonna pay too much for too little *sigh* But I must have what I must have, at least today. I'll deal with the repercussions if I win *s******s evilly* I'll keep you posted.

* Been on a downloading frenzy at Linkin Park Times. Jasparina is like my idol, like I said, up there near Rob somewhere (only, nowhere near that high, Rob's alone on the pedestal, to date he is, anyway) *s******s* There's so much stuff there and it's so current and up to date I go there first to get my LP stuff now, there and here, that about covers it.

* Been writing more of my Hallmark fic with Jammer. The end is finally in sight. Only 202 pages down on a one page script. I'm either gifted or crazy. As Grandpa Simpson says, "A little from column A and a little from column B."

* Got my electric blanket on bed yesterday. A very big deal in 'Woombaville in winter, believe you me. I'm feeling the cold all the time now with around 30kgs less 'pink bats' (fat) to keep insulated. It's cruel. But I prefer the cold to the heat. Just need to keep reminding myself that. *laughs*

That's pretty much it for now, as best as I can recall anyway. I'm trying to see how far I can get (post length wise) by omitting much of that idle banter, much to the detriment of some and merriment of others. Really, I look at some ppl's long posts and skim it, totally freaked out by the amount I have to read, and yet other times I can sit and scroll through page after page of it and be totally engrossed. Guess it depends on the mood. Well, am trying to keep it relatively conatined. See how feedback goes. If it's favourable I'll abbreviate from now on, if not, I'll warm my fingers, crack my knuckles and prepare myself to start typing my usual inane epics, after all, Its what I do, right? ****** a brow and wishes she had Rob's finess for it* **** eye candy *Drools* Excuse me while I wipe my chin *laughs* Okay.

Take care ppls. And here's a pic to salivate over. Rob bless The Church of Bourdon, where we worship in a building constructed entirely of Vater drumsticks, wear all our baseball caps backwards, eat all our meals with drumsticks, have dreams about drums, compare every sound we hear to a drum note, and spend insane amounts of time, energy and money over at eBay for the sheer sake of it, I mean, out of adoration. But look at that face, isn't he worth it?? *rolls eyes* ***, I hope my next obsession isn't quite as fanatical as this. Time will tell I suppose. *grins*

;)

(BTW, props go to MSN site LP-In the End for the image; Forget artist's name but thats where I souced it. Check it out, Bourdonism commandments amusing to say the least, especially 'giving bandmates wedgies before every show' one... *hmmm*)

Take care. Thanks to everyone who read and posted during posts. *HUGE HUGS* You know you guys are the greatest!

-Rav

(Edit: Still long innit? Can't post short even WHEN I try! *sob* Oh well, guess y'get that, huh? But it's all good...)

I think I'll skip quoting you, that's a lot simpler. It's not too long tho, just too long for quoting. btw is it quote or qoute? I'm not really sure.

It's too cold to go naked? lol :p I thought Aussie was quite hot, although it's winter there now, isn't it?

I'm not going to comment on any one thing you said, but not to worry, I did read all of it :p :thumbsup:

Look What I Just Bought!!!

OMFG!! Okay... the sceptic in me is still shaking her head about this, but it was something I just had to get, I mean... in all likelihood, how often does LP get to Australian shores, let alone me getting to one of their concerts, let alone close enough to the stage to get THIS!

OMFG... check this out...

;)

Okay, so there's a question of authenticity, I mean, I can't actually prove Rob's even looked at it let alone used it, but hey, it's a possibility, right? It bears all the insignia and his sig (obv. not hand-signed, I'm not that stupid) and it's, like, a drumstick, I mean... what other reason did I need?!? Besides, he's throwing 'em out all the time after shows, it's feasble someone had to get one and sell it (not that I would) *looks innocent* Just... don't ask how much I paid for it... *ahem* It's too much but I guess, for me, a once-in-a-lifetime thing. I checked out a lot of the seller's stuff, and he/she has a LOT of what looks to be genuine stuff, from a few different bands including our beloved LP. Over 1500+ happy customers... it's all good. Hopefully when I get this baby home I will be too!!! So, there! Now WHO'S obsessed? Huh? HUH?!? (Like, was it ever questioned?)

Anyway... next item I'm going after is the band signatures, the real ones, not preprints. Have my eye on two, will see in the next two days. Keep you posted. Just was so excited I had to share this with y'all.

Now, to live up to my promise to Jammer and get her a BBB signed guitar pick *sigh*

Oh, and Shahfire, as funny as I know the mental image of toilet training 4 week old kittens is, no, I'm not training them to use the toilet in the traditional sense. I'm training them to use the kitty litter tray. And before you ask, no, I don't get down with them and scratch around in it... ****** brow* (interesting mental picture, regardless) It's just... repeptition, repetition, repetition... and a lot of mopping!

Take care ppls, *squeeze hugs for everybody @ she dances around the living room excitedly* I'm SOOOOO happy!!!!! Now... I just gotta frame it!

A sane person would say too much... but me, I dunno, enough I guess. (Ambiguous enough answer for you? *s******s*) Think double digits... and more than the $10USD it started out as... A LOT more... *sigh* But it's priceless to me though, especially if it actually were used in concert! OMFG! So I guess, it's money well spent when you look at it like that. Mmmm.

BTW, SS1, you saw it (BBB pick) for 50 cents, that cheap??? Lowest I've seen lately is like $6 USD (around $12 AUD) for one pick... Gosh, I'm a sucker, huh? *laughs* I'm holding out... we'll see if the price drops.

What currency's used in Australia?

I'd like those drum sticks, even though if they weren't really used by Rob. I'm a fan of drumming, try to drum some when I can, so Rob's obviously one of my role models in drumming, actually the biggest one I think, he as a drummer is one of the best in the world. Take SIB for an example, he's playing an amazingly complex drum pattern during the choruses. That's one of the reasons why I like drumming, and why I like Rob's drumming. If I were a band drummer, I'd basically bang the **** out of the drums :p I'd be killing the drums. It's just pure fun banging the **** out of a drum set in your free time, plus it releases excess energy and anger :thumbsup:

AUD - Australian Dollar.

$1 AUD = $0.75 USD (approx.) and 0.92 CHF (Switzerland Francs) and 0.60 EUR (Euro) to give you a rough idea.

Personally I'm not interested in drumming myself, but appreciate his, and other musicians' skill, on the skins. I wish I could, but no, if anything I'd actually like to play guitar *shrugs* that or bass. I'm far too hot-headed to play drums, I'd exhaust myself from venting my anger all the time, not to mention the amount of sticks and drumheads I'd go through, it'd just be crazy! *laughs* But I agree, Robbie's pretty darn good. Great in fact. I think BTH is a nice song too that showcases his talent. It's just a pity that when the track was produced that the drums were faded into the background a little, ever notice that? Towards the end of BTH the pattern sounds quite complex, and I've read from a chat transcript from the man himself over at LPU4 that it was fun playing that in the studio; the fluctuating tempo is quite complex, and he literally says the drumsticks were flying out of his hands as he was doing it, it was that fast! *whew! What I would have given just to be there to see that!* His hands must have been a blur! *laughs* Usually are anyway, aren't they? He can make even the most complex beats sound easy, and that's talent. It works, and that's all that really matters I guess.

I'm trying to picture you behind a kit banging the **** out of your drums *laughs* Hey, good therapy, if nothing else, huh? I've been told Lars Ulrich from Metallica holds the world record in Guiness book of records for the fastest consecutive beat on a set of drums. I'd love for Rob to try some Metallica songs, that would test his mettle, especially the bridge in 'One', man... I'm getting chills just imagining it! *grins*

Anyway. Best of luck with them. Never know, maybe we'll see you up there on stage one day too as a supporting act, huh? Wouldn't that be something??? Then we can all say, "We knew him before he was famous!" *shakes head, laughing* Maybe. Then you could just sneak some sticks off him and sell them to me so I wouldn't be scalped at eBay all the time! *yay!*

Well, take care, Vi,

*hugs*
