We saved a bird from our cats once, but we didn't get to keep him....tis a pity too. Owning a bird is like my dream. I'd love a Mr. Kiwi running around my house<3

Aww, your mom's fuckin awesome Andy! And like I said, your mouse looks fuckin adorable! I swear, but I really don't understand why some people think mouses/rats are ugly/nasty/creepy; I think they have one of the cutest faces, and they're small, and that automatically makes them cute! It's like a hamster, except a lot smaller, longer, and with a tail! I hope he survives Andy! *Huggles your mouse*

Thanks Kellie It was, you could barely see Sander and Martijn to begin with, I was thinking pictures are going to come out very foggy
That's one of my favourites
Andy that's awsome! My mum would probably not let me keep a mouse if I rescued it

Aw. Thanks for the love guys. He seems to be doing a lot better; he can move around his cage pretty well, and he's eating well. So I think he'll make it <3
And that picture that Kellie posted is GORGEOUS, Sam. Love it <3 I brought some more clarity to it in Photoshop if you care for it. Smoke is the WORST.

I wanna hear about Emilie Autumn too
Ok so I just got back from seeing The Damian Wilson Band with Ruud guesting on guitar. Unfortunatley I didn't get to meet them as they went on for so long and I asked my Dad to get there at 11pm and I made him wait 30 minutes as it was. So unless I wanted to get left in Bilston (where there was a double shooting last night like right near the venue) and then not get taken to Delain in 2 weeks it was probably a good idea I left Otherwise my Dad probably would have killed me.
Well I got there just after 7:30pm and we pull up and the venue looked closed. So we parked up and it turns out you have to go through the pub next to it. I got in there and there was like 10 people so I got a drink and sat down. And then got another drink to pass the time. Oh and Damian came out and said hello to us all So it comes to 20 to 9 and I went and stood on the left where I thought Ruud would be. Turns out he was on the right but never mind. They all walked past pretty quick at one point and then I was like 'Shit thats Ruud' but it took a while to register as he was pretty disguised behind his beard and hat. So they came on and I waved to Ruud and he waved back. There were like 50 people in the entire place and half were sat down Damian did tell them to bring there chairs over though. I think Damian took a shine to me as I was like the only girl at the front and he smiled and sang to me ALOT! Nice little romantic acoustic songs as well. He jumped down from the stage early on to go say hi to people while the band were still playing and he came over to me, put his hands on my shoulders and said 'Thank you darling' and then said 'You're a Within Temptation fan aren't you?' Tops a give away. Oh and when I did first get Ruud's attention I blew him a kiss, I dont even know why my mind did it without thinking. Ruud kind of stayed well back though and didn't seem to look into the crowd much. Guess it's harder not being his own band. But he did wink at me and smile at me. I wish I could tell you what songs they played but they did a little bit of Bohemian Rhapsody. Damian has an amazing voice though! Wow! I wish I'd listened to him before because his voice is incredible! Anyway their supposed last song Blood I think it was, Damian got on his knees and sang like a whole chorus to me <3 and then they started playing another song and I had to leave because my Dad just kept phoning and he had been sitting there like half an hour.
Shame I couldn't have stayed to meet them or just to the end of the song I'm sure I would have got some kind of plectrum or something. Kind of gutted really but what can I do? The world is against me meeting Within Temptation I swear.
Damian Wilson really is amazing though. Wow. And Ruud you know Ruud was amazing, he's just so good with his solos. He seemed a bit reserved though I've never been to such a small gig though and I have never had anyone of the band come into the crowd or have so much talking with the crowd. It was really good. And the whole show was filmed for something. Just wish I could have met Ruud Never mind.

Sounds like you had a freaking incredible time, Kellie! <3 And wow, so few people. I really would've expected more to be there, actually. But that's the best when there's less people there, IMO.
EEEE That's so great
Emilie story is coming when I get home from the movie

Kellie, you're so fuckin lucky, I swear! But that's awesome, and even though you didn't get to met them some more at the end, I'm sure you were still very satisfied with it all. So I see you had another good time today, so kudos to you!

Nice pictures. It don't know if I would have recognized Ruud if I didn't know it was him.
Damian has a very distintive voice indeed. I know him from his duet with After Forever, and his work with Star One and his appearance on Stream of Passion's live album. He is great on The Castle Hall, I think it's called (originally by Ayreon)

I probably would've.. but it definitely would have taken me a second
Okeedoo! You guys still care to hear my epic Emilie story of awesomeness?
So, I got there about 2 hours before doors, and we were waiting inside for another 2 hours because the show was supposed to start at 8, but Emilie would later announce that she cut her left ring finger (an essential in playing the violin) on a razorblade and that is what took them so long.
The set was absolutely fucking stunning. I mean, there was everything from demented porcelain dolls to skulls, to teacups scattered across the stage. And this HUGE clock-looking thing that looked like a Victorian stargate:
So! Best Safety Lies in Fear played and the girls all came out and did their self-introductions (very fucking cool. They rock). They all danced behind the VSG one at a time so you could only see their shadows at first.
And then of course, Emilie came out behind the VSG, looking something like this:
...Aaaaaand tea time. "4 o'Clock", a strange bird mask and some harpsichord later, Veronica was leaning down in front of me and my friends and giving us kisses with her glittery gorgeous lipstick. I imagine it was because I kept flirting with her with my eyes. She's my favorite Bloody Crumpet. Lovely woman <3:
So, concert goes on. Gods, EVERYTHING was so freaking amazing. I can't even really put it into words. There was of course the Asylum Wheelchair, and pyro-hulahoops and rum-tea and other glorious things thrown in there as well. We got to the point where EA was going to try to see if we could sing the entirety of "Shalott", which even she sometimes forgets the lyrics to, when this very very lovely lady screamed "MISS LUCY!!!!", which goes something like this:
I was one of the few that knew every single lyric and was able to help keep the crowd going. And Emilie was absolutely stunned that we got all the way through it. She was literally left speechless by us and said we're the only American crowd to get through it. So then we sand Shalott, even though she didn't feel she needed to challenge us anymore.
After a few more songs, I had continued to flirt with and touch Veronica (though I did get to touch EA a few times too <33333333), so she took the little cover thing off of a muffin, licked it, rubbed it on her sparkly chest and threw it at me <3 It is currently hanging on my wall with the setlist.
And then it was over. There were several circus-like stunts thrown in there as well, like Contessa on this thing. Fucking incredible. That woman can move like no one I've ever seen before:
And Maggots on her hula hoop:
Fire-eating:
And of course, the violin shredder herself:
Ok, seriously guys. She's doing a European tour soon. If you have the chance to go to one of these shows, DO IT. You will have a BLAST. Dave really doesn't like her music and he was all the way in the back and he came out raving about how wonderful it was. Seriously. DO NOT PASS UP THE CHANCE if you get it. This review has absolutely NOTHING on the show. And they aren't even that expensive. Normal priced ticket here was $20/£12/14 EUR.
