I went to see Deftones sunday with my friend. The show started with the band Will Haven. I thought the band kind of sucked. Their songs sounded all alike, live at least. So we were glad when it was time for Deftones. (this log is starting to look like a live show log right now lol)

They rocked. Hard. And since my ears didn't have the right amount of time to heal from NIN yet, my ears hurt. :( And off course, I forgot to take my earplugs with me! AGAIN! Arrrgghh. I hate it. So again, I was holding my fingers in my ears for the last couple of songs. My left ear hurted the most and I was kind of deaf for a while after the show. So next time, I really REALLY have to take my earplugs with me.

Oh and I bought a new Friis & Company bag yesterday. Yes I couldn't help it, I just couldn't resist. The flesh is weak.

I went to see Nine Inch Nails for the second time yesterday (yeah, aren't you sick of reading about it already) and I was surprised to hear a few different songs, although the rest of the setlist was still the same. But that's ok, I wouldn't even care if it would be the exact same setlist as last week. They still rocked, and again it was awesome. I have one complaint though, and that is WHY the hell did the sound have to be so... HARD. I don't want to sound like a granny yet, but seriously, when the guy who did the soundcheck on the drums thought that it was ok, I was so afraid that the worst thing happened: and it did, the drums were way too loud and off course I was way too close to the left speaker. I had a great place, don't get me wrong here, I could see EVERYTHING. Paradiso in Amsterdam is a great place for people like me (short people), at the sides you have a kind of little stair where you can stand above the tall people so you can actually also see the band playing. But omg, again, the drums were so loud. And off course it was the day that I forgot to take my earplugs with me, so I ended up using both my index fingers as earplugs while trying to enjoy their newest song Survivalism. That kind of sucks, and it looks kind of silly, as if I don't want to hear the song or something. But I do, I do want to hear it, just in a normal volume! Or at least, with less drum volume. Each drum pounded in my ear and now my left ear kind of hurts, I just noticed it when I talked on the phone with my sister. I once read a story about a girl who got deaf after a Muse concert. The same Muse concert where I also went to that year. But she not only got deaf, but she also had a problem with the sound of things around her, it hurt her ear, even when you tick with a pen on a table for example, it would hurt like hell she said. She even has to go to the hospital's silent room with New Years Eve because the fireworks would hurt so much. Now that would be a total nightmare.

So yeah, I try to bring my earplugs next sunday when I'm going to see Deftones.

Yesterdaynight's Nine Inch Nails show was AWESOME. Best live show EVER. I wish it would never end, seriously I loved it.

Before the great NIN would get on stage, we had to listen to Ladytron. Don’t get me wrong, I like Ladytron. I listen to their music on my iPod shuffle when I’m working out at the gym sweating my ass off, for instance. Or on a Sunday afternoon when I’m doing nothing special. I like their music. But seriously, live, their music just didn’t wow me. I mean, it wasn’t bad, no, not at all. But I like a band to rock. Although I listen to electronic music regularly, I think a band still has to rock on stage. Anyway. After their performance it was finally time to get the stage ready for NIN.

While people on stage were getting the stage ready, I saw two guys. One was holding five microphone standards. One was holding a round tube about as long as him. You know, the kind of tube you normally use when you want to send posters to someone via airmail. They were measuring how long the microphone standard had to be, and the tube would represent Trent Reznor, I saw they also had drawn a face on the tube! Haha I’ve never seen that, but I thought that was funny. Smart, and funny.

Finally, NIN came on stage. And as we were standing in front of the stage, just a little on the left, Jeordie White was standing in front of us! I know I know, in the middle of the stage would be a better place to stand, but hey, I didn’t want to get pushed around when March Of The Pigs would be performed live. I always stand in front a little on the left at live shows, it’s my lucky spot. Or something. I mean, you don’t get smashed like when you’re standing in the middle in front, and, you have a fence to lean to when you do get smashed. And last but not least, I always try to stand next to grown ups. Those gothics, punks, and other meanies under the age of 21 are always in for a pit, and well, actually, I don’t! So there I was, standing in front of the stage, a little to the left, next to someone who I thought was a grown up. Yeah so he was a little goth, but hey, it was still someone I kind of trusted not to go crazy, and besides, he wore glasses. Just like me. But boy was I wrong. When they started playing Mister Self Desctruct, the grown up glasses goth started jumping. But luckily not as hard as I thought hehe. I was kind of save. I thought.

Until they started playing March Of The Pigs. Omg, the crowd got mad, they started jumping and pushing like crazy. I started to get flashbacks of Korn in 2002 when I got smashed down to the ground a lot of times and when someone finally saved me and got me out of that hellhole. I think I got traumatized after that experience, because now after each and every wild move the crowd would make, I’m afraid. Very afraid. The March Of The Pigs is a great song, but I wish no one would push me and my purse against the fence! Ouch! Hurt! Hurt! PLEASE PLAY HURT, I thought by myself, seeing that’s one of those ballads that could save me now. And yeah I know I’m a moron for taking a fucking PURSE with me. I don’t know what I thought, I only know that I haven’t been to such a live performance for quite a while so I think I kind of lost it and forgot the fact that a purse is such a pain in the ass to bring with when going to a concert. But this time it kind of saved my ribs, that has to be said. Although I was a little afraid that my E900 and my b/f’s N73 would get splat but ok, everything’s save. I can say that Friis & Company make good bags, you’re bag’s content is saved, even after being pushed against the fence while holding it against your chest and stomach.

And then, the moment came. The moment that I wish that I was standing in the middle in front of the stage. Trent Reznor pushed some lights and stuff aside, and then he came off stage. Trent came off stage!! The people who were standing in the middle could touch his sweaty body and smell it! A little to the left Trent, a little to the left! Ok, for you to the right, Trent, come here! And just when he was about a metre or two away from me, he got on stage again… Oh man, there was just a fence (and my purse and some Goths) between me and Trent!

While I was enjoying their super great performace, I saw that Jeordie White was throwing something away. It got on the ground in front of the other side of the fence. You know, where the bodyguards and security people were standing. I couldn’t really see what it was in the dark, it kind of looked like a seal you get when you open a new bottle of water or whatever. But then I saw Jeordie grabbing a new pick from his microphone standard and then I realized what was on the ground – his old pick. So I ticked on the shoulder of one of those guys on the other side of the fence, and as I did, the girl next to me did the same thing! But I was two seconds earlier! So I thought ohhh noooo… I don’t want to fight this girl. Not for a pick. That’s pathetic. That pick’s just mine, I saw it first and I ticked the shoulder first. But I think she thought the same thing because she didn’t make a problem out of the fact that I grabbed the pick out of the guy’s hands first. Hehe. A while later my b/f saw the same thing happening again, Jeordie throwing another pick. And no one else saw it so yeah I got that one too hehe. I got two picks from a NIN concert. Hehe. I’m happy. I’ve never gotten anything before.

And after Head Like A Hole it was time to go. I really enjoyed their performance and I can’t wait for next week in Amsterdam, when I get to see Nine Inch Nails again. Hehe.

Wow. We're sitting here at home for almost two weeks. Me and my b/f. Assignment's over and now we're here. It's almost like we don't have to work for our money lol. Ok that's just one (and maybe the only) good thing about being hired to other companies, when you don't have an assignment, you're home. It's almost like a vacation except you can't just go to the other side of the world and there's this risk of being called for an assignment in the middle of nowhere, each and every day - but not in these two weeks hehehe. :D

And finally, now that I'm home, I have time to read my books, hooray! But that's not the only thing I do. I also try to work out more, and... I am addicted at playing Scrabble on my DS Lite. It's the GBA version but still it's addictive and I like it. Especially when I win hehe. And besides, no one wants to play Scrabble in real life with me, so yeah, playing against a cpu in my DS is the only best altenative.

I got a Nintendo DS Lite Pink from my b/f!! (yeah first he spoils me with an electric epilator and now he gives me a DS - I wonder what he's up to, guess he wants me to be a hairless gamer lol) It looks so cool and so cute! :) It's way better than the old version of the DS, a dull big gray... well, DS. I'm really happy with my new toy, just holding it makes me feel all tingly inside lol. Maybe this also motivates me to finally play Castlevania again, since I had given up on it last year. (yeah I have such a short attention span, after discovering 150% of the castle I just couldn't get myself to do the other 50%...)

Sometimes I help people with things like resumes, summaries, reports, letters, etc, the usual paperwork. And when I'm finished I am glad to hear that they're happy and they got credit for it. Teachers think a great job is done, managers actually enjoyed reports and summaries, and they say that to the people I helped, like they made that stuff themselves. That's ok. The credits I get are the ones I get from those people, their gratitude is enough. (YEAH. So I cried and got over it. So what lol.)

But what I seriously can not stand is, when other people think I rely on the people I help and that they think I am dependant! Seriously, it just doesn't make any sense, I mean, do you see the link? Wtf. I don't know how they see it, the contact that I'm having with people (about the things I help them with), the questions and answers, the conversations... but they see it absolutely the wrong way! I only help some people sometimes, and that doesn't make me dependant. ?!!?! Seriously, I just don't get it. I can't help it that people actually like talking to me and aren't afraid to ask me for help. They come to ME, so I am NOT the one that's being so dependant! ARGH. Just saying that in my face says a lot more about the people who think I am relying on people (they're just too stupid), than it says about me... but still, I can't stand it. It's not fair!!!!! It makes me so pissed.

I hope karma will get them someday.... and justice for all. Yeah I am vindictive like that. :)

Today my b/f got me a ladyshave. I know I know, other girls get jewelry and other fun stuff to show off to their friends. And I get a ladyshave. That's not really something to show off huh. It's kind of like, girl, you're hairy, here's something that might help! Haha. Ok just kidding. I know I'm not funny. But seriously. At first I didn't know what to think either. Hehe. But anyway, this tool is one which doesn't just shave, but you can also use it to fully epilate your body! You know, actually pulling out hair instead of chopping it off. I thought this was genius. The sensitive bodyparts can be shaved, and the rest I'll just epilate, and I'll be hairless as a baby in no time!

I tried the shaving head first. I've never shaved in my whole life. For some reason people don't believe me, but it's true. My true friends were my Tweezerman and Veet's cold wax. I am not that hairy so those tools were just fine. Anyway. Shaving is weird. I felt such like a n00b when I tried to shave my leg. I decided shaving is not my thing, and I removed the shaving head and replaced it with the epilating head. OMG. Now this was weird, feeling the hairs being pulled out all together at once instead of one by one. It kind of feels like a tattoo needle moving fast over my leg. But after a few seconds I got used to it. This is also what the instruction guide told me and it's true. Once you get used to it, it's all just fine. I even kind of liked it. Hehe.

And now I'm hairless. I think it is so cool, with this Philips Satinelle Ice shaver/epilator being hairless can be done fast, I can't believe I actually lived without this my whole life. I like this tool.

I measured my body fat % at the gym a few days ago and.... omg!!! The fat has reduced!!!! So working out actually really works lol, who would've thought that hahaha. I'm happy that my efforts aren't for nothing!

Oh and we bought ourselves a new LCD TV last week!
