WOW!!!!!

Went to the Evanescence concert last night...and it was just amazing. Totally godly.

There were three opening bands, which was interesting. The first two (Breaking Benjamin and Seether) were pretty good. I'm not going to rush out and buy their CD, but they were entertaining. I did really like the song Broken, which is Seether featuring Amy Lee, the lead singer of Evanescence. I haven't heard it too often, but I can see why it became a hit, even if it was never really intended to be.

Three Days Grace was the third band, and I really liked them. I think I will buy their CD...especially since I had a lot of money saved up for the concert, and then there were nothing being sold except for food (oh, and the bootleg T-shirts in the parking lots >.<). I was really hoping to finally be able to get Evanescence's other album, Origin, since I love the songs that I know of on it.

Finally, it was time for Evanescence to appear (it was 10 by this time...the show started at 7). And it was just so amazing. If you thought they were good on the CD, you HAVE to check them out live. They are just so much better. And Amy Lee has such a stage presence, you can't take your eyes off her (and I should know...my eyes were rather hating me yesterday, after going through eye examines and then being subjected to the lightshow!). It's so clear that she loves singing and music. During the instrumental bridges, she would be twirling around on the stage, in her white dress with jeans underneath. It was just a great show. Definitely worth my money.

I also found out that Amy plays the piano for the band...I never knew that before. It was really cool, because she played and sang My Immortal, and also the intro for Bring Me to Life. It was even cooler because I have the music for the songs on Fallen, so I can play both those songs too (in theory, at least =P)

Anyway, I really can't describe how amazing it was. This was my first real rock concert too (Celion Dion, who I saw a few years ago, before she started sucking, just doesn't count). And even though it means I only got 6 hours of sleep, it was still totally worth seeing.

Choose a band/or artist and answer only in song TITLES by that band::

No Doubt (who I love as much as Evanescence)

Are you female or male:: Just a Girl (he he he)
Describe yourself:: Hella Good
How do some people feel about you:: Rock Steady
How do you feel about yourself:: Tragic Kingdom
Describe your ex girlfriend/boyfriend:: Ex-Girlfried (couldn't resist...plus I don't have an ex)
Describe your current girlfriend/boyfriend:: Underneath it All (once again...don't have one)
Describe where you want to be:: In My Head (don't we all =P)
Describe what you want to be:: Simple Kind of Life (so true)
Describe how you live:: Platinum Blonde Life (well...if I had the money to dye my hair at least)
Describe how you love:: Spiderwebs
Share a few words of wisdom:: Magic's in the Makeup




That's actually works pretty well...though be warned, if you take this from me, that choosing a band with lots of songs is best (thedarkdruid chose Evanescence...as wonderful as they are, it didn't work as well)

New stuff from me! (well...kinda)

Ok, first I have a new icon. I just couldn't resist creating a Toboe one, and it still fits the overall theme of the journal. I made another one, which I may stick in a post sometime, that I thought was rather amusing. Unfortunately, it also has WR spoilers in it.

Anyway, the real point of this post is to direct people over to Crushed By Her Own Weight, my latest story in the Fushigi Yuugi obscure characters series. I finally got around to looking at Rosa's beta (btw, Rosa, YOU MUST GET ONLINE SO I CAN TALK TO YOU!!!! And, I'm glad you finally realized that the water imagery was TOTALLY intentional).

So, I hope you like this story. It has some spoilers for Chichiri's past, but that past is only really explored once in the series, though it has it's own episode in the OVAs, which this is based off of (the OVA, btw, has a different version of what happened than the series >.<).

So, Trebs, I don't think you can read this safely yet, unfortunately, because the spoilage is for one of the eps in the 20's (I don't recall the exact one...if you've seen it, you'll know), but you don't have to wait as long as you have to with Ka-sama.

Anyway, I hope you guys like it. And, as I said last time, remember that To read is human, to review divine (and I actually spelled it right this time =P)

Oh, and to beta is uber-godly!!!
