ROCK is HOT!
Ok, so I have only done item number one on my to do list but the day is still young. I intend on going for a nice long walk in the sun with wet Taxu before I settle back in and tackle giant mountain of clothes/cds/books.
So last night. Last night was the BEST night I have had in aaaaaaaaaaaaages! To start, I got to chat with an internet friend who had kind of disappeared for a while, which made me super duper depressed because she had been my muse of late, and so that was fun, to have words again flying around and getting me thinking and typing/writing again. I can't really remember what we were talking about, everything and nothing, talked about writing and art and music and myspace and facebook and other random tangents that flew our way. The thing I remember most is my "slightly" stalkerish behaviour of googling where she lives.. now surely it isn't an issue if she has already given me her address?!? ok... maybe I should not google random internet friends to find out where they live..... I promise I'll try not to do that again :P
Then, it was off to Ernie's to pick him up for the lovely, the wonderful, the most enchantingly beautiful Jesmaq gig. Ok, so it wasn't very much fun arriving at his house when he wasn't home, nor was it fun to trek into Yarraville WITHOUT my jacket to get money, trek BACK to his house, then get a call from him telling me he was actually at a nice bar enjoying a couple of drinks - then trekking BACK into Yarraville again this time WITH my jacket. But Acqua e Vino is a funky place and we got to tease him about his crush(es) on the barstaff. So all was fine and dandy :D
Northcote Social Club. Footy. Footy fans. Dinner was ok. Jesmaq was AWESOME!!! And I mean, totally, mesmerisingly, astonishingly, mindblowingly AWESOME! She's gone all rocky and she's GREAT at it!!! Totally cool. For someone who never had any formal training in music, she totally blew the stage and my mind. Can't wait can't wait for this next album, her new songs really kick ass and ROCK! She was shining and having a great time and it showed and it was wonderful to see her. Smiles all round there. I got my hug, I got my kiss, Ernie stole a poster and got it signed with a message we can't read. All was going super :)
I have to say, I have been really down the last few weeks (in case you couldn't tell)- everything is boring, nothing is inspiring. Watching Jess was inspiring. I don't think Jess is the best singer/songwriter/musician/whatever. But I think she's fabulous. And I love the fact that I discovered her on my own. I love the fact that I have been able to watch her grow as a musician and improve and love the stuff she does over the years. I love that when I watch her, and see how one's person's passion and determination can touch others, I feel like I could do it too. Sometimes you get kicked in the guts, sometimes you get kicked in the guts again and again, and sometimes you kick yourself in the gut, but every kick in the gut is something to learn from, something to grow with, something to bloom from.
And it's never on your own.
The night didn't end there ;)
Ok, so I admit, I am a little glued to the internet screen lately. So ok, I got home around 1ish? I don't actually remember looking at the time. It was after midnight some time, and even though I had spent ALL day online already, I decided that since the big bro wasn't home and I wasn't feeling particularly sleepy, why not check my email and maybe see if any of my european friends are online to chat with.
No emails and no european friends online. Instead one of my uni friends was online so we started chatting and I swear, it was the most fun I have had online in such a long time.
So I went to bed smiling :) And I woke up smiling :D And the sun is shining and I feel absolutely bubbling today. I can feel the hum............ start.
I hope, that somehow, through these electronic vibes and tip-tapped words, that at least a tiny portion of my JOY has reached you. Because you know I love you all so much and I want you all to share in my smiling days and I want you all to be smiling too :D

ps. How hot are rock chicks?!?
