Think happy thoughts!

So, I've been MIA from this blog for a month. I think this my style right now - updating just once a month 'cause usually there's nothing interesting going on in my life.

I had a two week vacation in August, where I and my friends traveled to Tallinn to see Robbie Williams in concert. We took a slow ride up to Tallinn, since it's only 9 hours from Vilnius to Tallinn, but we wanted to see other cities in Latvia and Estonia. The trip was amazing! Lots of drunken nights with friends and beautiful cities and the Baltic Sea.

( some photos from the trip )

And Robbie Williams was amazing!!! The most awesome show that I've ever been. Poor Robbie hurt his back before the show, but he still came out to perform. And he was fabulous! He was the same as I saw him perform in concerts on television. The best experience ever! And Olly Murs was the opening band, and he was amazing too!

I already said that I've started listening to Tegan and Sara. And they are coming down to Eastern Europe this autumn, sadly no Lithuanian dates, but they are coming down to Warsaw, Poland. And I just decided to fly to their concert there. Thankfully, it's on Saturday, so I can manage this trip. But OMG, I've put so much money into the plane ticket and the hotel, but it's going to be worth it! At least the ticket to the concert was kind of cheap.

And then yesterday I found out that Dylan Moran is going to perform in Vilnius on September 26th. And I bought the ticket already because I can't miss this!

The bad thing is that with this two things kind of raided my saved money. I've been trying to save up money to buy a new Ipod touch, but it's like the 3rd time I'm not able to buy it, because there is always a better option to spend money on. It's a conspiracy, the world doesn't want me to have a new Ipod.

I hope everything is going good for you all! I've been trying to keep up with my reading list. But apparently, I'm very lazy t at least check dreamwidth once a day.

So, my birthday has passed like a month ago and I haven't managed to update this journal. I don't know how to make myself update.

( Here, have a picture of me and my friends from the party: )

The party was really great. I had a lot of fun! And my friends got me an Olympus VG-130 camera, which is kind of awesome of them. I didn't even think that they'd get me something like that.

I've had a week of from work and it has been amazing! I visited my brother in Minsk and it was a super awesome time. And I finally met his girfriend, who is awesome and I approve of her so fucking much!

OK, new Justin Timberlake music, let's talk about that. I didn't even know that I wanted his new album in my life, but I couldn't stop myself and bought it. I think it's a great album, there's just 2 songs that I don't really like, but all others are fucking awesome. I love Mirrors so fucking much!

And I just discovered this band - Shinedown. They are kind of super awesome! I can't stop listening to them.

After MCR's break up, I couldn't listen to their music without feeling sad, so I kind of skipped it everytime it was on, but now everything got better and I'm finally enjoying their music again.

Preordered FOB's new album. Can't wait to listen to it. The new song "The Phoenix" is even more catching than "My Songs Know What You Did In the Dark". I've been singing it for days.

I've been trying to catch up with my reading page for the last hour, but I've been procrastinating so much that it's been a week since I last checked it. But I will read it all!!!!

1. Watched Looper today. =D I didn't really know what I was getting into with this movie. I knew I wanted to watch it because of JGL and Bruce Willis and because it was sci-fi flick about time travel.

I didn't really expect that there would be so much drama too. JGL and Bruce Willis were amazing, Emily Blunt was amazing too. And Cid was such a fucking creepy kid, points to the child actor playing him, who's definitely going to be a great actor if he really wants to.

I didn't expect the movie to end like it did, but that's kind of awesome. The movie made me think and feel and it kept me on the edge of the seat and I was just trying to guess how will it all end.

2. And apparently I forgot that I was trying to update this journal once a week. I'm sorry, I'm going to try harder. It shouldn't be this hard updating a journal once a week.

3. I still haven't reorganized my pinboard bookmarks, there's about a thousand left. And I need to go through every one of them because almost all of them need new tags added and some tags removed and delete the entries that are delete or made private or maybe even try and find them on AO3 and change the links. So much stuff to do. When I get fixated on one thing, at first it all goes fast, but then I find more interesting things to do like read Teen Wolf fanfiction...

And I have like 170 fanfics bookmarked that I need to read. When am I going to get time for that? Life of a fangirl, so hard =D

4. Listened to new Muse and Linkin Park records. I feel like both albums are better than the previous ones, especially with Linkin Park. I didn't really get into A Thousand Sun record, but Living Things is really great - it feels as though they mixed Meteora with A Thousand Sun and they got this new record.

And Muse did really good job on their record, I loved that Chris sang 2 full songs. At this point I really like Panic Station, Liquid State and Follow Me.

There's new Mika album out, but I still haven't got around to listening to it. But it's a 2 disc album, which is kind of cool!

5. And of course I need to talk about MCR. OMG!!! Conventional Weapons. Yay! October 30th couldn't come faster. =DDD

6. I want to talk about lots of thing that are making me FEEL so many feels, but it will take so much time. I just love Glee right now and Big Bang Theory has started finally, but I don't know how I feel about the first episode. And then Supernatural season 8 is going to start soon, can't wait for that. And Teen Wolf fanfiction is taking over my life, there's so many good fanfic that they make me almost late to my job every fucking day.

And I started watching so many YouTube videos. I love Hannah Hart and her My Drunk Kitched show and Kingsley and Tyler Oakley and Mamrie Hart and vlogbrothers. OMG, there's so many of them I just can't even! What is my life? IDK....

Hello! I'm back from being lazy to update this journal.

The most exciting news that happened to me this past week: This Tuesday I went to visit my friends in Kaunas. Firstly, we went to see Prometheus, which all of us didn't like. The plot sucked, but the visuals and 3D were epic. And I loved all of the mythology, but still... the plot sucked.

And secondly, the same Tuesday I saw Marilyn Manson in concert. And it was incredible! I loved it as much as I loved Metallica's concert. 30 seconds to mars can't compare and they were really great too when I saw them.

So, really, the only highlight of my whole week is that Tuesday and plus I have this weekend off from work, so I will finally get enough sleep and finally go to the gym.

I hope everything is great with you all! =D

And I finally listened to Avengers soundtrack. Shinedown's song I'm Alive is definitely my favourite, I can't stops listening to it!

1. As mush as I was happy to see the trailer for Avenger's movie, this movie I was even more ecstatic about.

I just... Don't have words for this. It's going to be hilariously stupidly awesome movie! =D

2. Work is going great at the moment. Just sometimes, some people drive me crazy, but everything is going great and I'm loving my job.

3. I've bought myself a new nail polish, Catrice Blue Cara Ciao, and it's an awesome colour. Just painted my nails and they look nice, just not meant for the eyes of patients at the drug store. I don't think they'll appreciate it, like my mother didn't like the colour.

4. And I don't know why, but I seriously love The Body Shop. I love the things that they make. I don't have any complaints about them. I have their body scrub, face mask, body lotion, lip gloss - I've bought a second body lotion 'cause the first one is almost over and I loved how it really made my skin softer.

5. And I'm in love with Mika's song Elle Me Dit. I like him singing in French.

6. Oh, and you should listen to this: (Panic covering Adele's Rolling in the deep)

Comment on this entry and I will give you a letter. Name 5 songs you love starting with that letter in an entry of your own. thebunnyknows gave me letter C.

1. Cherry Lips by Garbage - a first song of Garbage that I've ever heard. I was 14 or something when I first heard it and it definitely impressed my young small brain.

2. Chamber the Cartridge by Rise Against. Sufferer and the Witness was the first album of Rise Against that I've heard. And this intro/first song just blew me away. Now I definitely think that Rise Against is a great band. And you should check them out.

3. City Of Delusion by Muse. Muse are super amazingly awesome! And the song is pure perfection!

4. Cocaine (We're All Going to Hell) by Strata. I suggest, if you aren't familiar with this band, and you love rock music, just listen to their album Strata Presents The End of The World. BTW, it's my most played album, followed by MCR's Black Parade.

5. Cyanide by Metallica. Metallica is awesome and I couldn't not include this song. When listening to the Death Magnetic CD this song just spoke to me. And when they played this song at the concert I was really happy.

Metallica, Slayer, Megadeth and Anthrax playing together a song Am I evil, a Diamond Head cover. Amazing thing! =D

Last night was pretty amazing. I don't think I'll be forgeting April 21st so soon. It was my first ever serious rock/metal concert. Metallica finally came to Lithuania! It was fucking amazing! It was so amazing that I still have songs stuck in my head. I went with 2 of my awesome friends (Mindaugas and Vaidas). The concert was in another town so the 3rd friend (Evaldas) was driving us there and back. It was a common benefit, we went to the concert and he visited his girlfriend. Everyone's happy!

There were 2 opening bands: Gojiro and Fear Factory. They were all awesome. Really loved the vocals of Fear Factory. And the songs were really good. Although you can't really compare them to Metallica. Still, the 2 bands did get the crowd riled up.

After 2 bands we waited more than half on hour for Metallica to come on stage. We were dying from the anticipation. The whole arena tried to cheering and clapping and chanting, but the band still wasn't coming out. And then when the lights dimmed a little bit, Mindaugas offered me to get on his shoulders, so I did and I watched the first song being up high. And I saw the whole stage and I saw the band so close... I couldn't really believe that here right in front of me was James, Robert, Kirk and Lars. So surreal.

The first song was like 7 minutes long, and I don't know how Mindaugas was able to hold me up this long 'cause we are almost the same hight, so it was apparent that me sitting on his shoulders wasn't very comfortable. But after the song was over he put me down.

Metallica played their show without a break for 2 and half hours. It was awesome. This was the setlist. And I remember when they started playing The Unforgiven III, at first I thought that it really was the unoforgiven iii, but then when the song fully started, I was like nah, this couldn't be that song. And I even argued with Vaidas, who was trying to prove to me that they did play that song. So, after seeing the setlist, I can safely and surely say - I was fucking wrong. It happens.

They had laser show for 3 songs - it looked amazing, especially when I was sitting on Mindaugas's shoulders. And then they did some fire show for several songs. We were standing not very far from the stage and we could feel the heat from the flames. I don't even know how was it like for the band. And they played Nothing Else Matters, the whole arena sang so loud. I really did think that I was going to cry, but I didn't.

It sad that the merchandise was pretty expensive, at lest for my pockets. But it's OK, the band threw their picks to us, so I grabbed one. Lookie! And now I have a memorabilia, to remember this concert forever and ever. When the last song was playing, they let out black balls to push around. It's sad that I'm small (160 cm) so I wasn't able to even touch the ball.

On the drive back home we listen to Queen and sang along really loud. My body wanted to sleep, but I still wanted to have some fun. Got back to the dormitory around 2:30 a.m. Went to sleep and woke up at 7 a.m. without my alarm clock. Unbelievable.

Metallica promised to come here on the next tour, and to play 3 shows, not two. That would be cool!

I've never really reced fics, but this one is kind of amazing.

A ficlet about boys feeling lost without Bob.

So, The Young Veins played their first show and the youtube videos of it are available. I don't really know what I feel about the music though. I did listen to it, but I think that Young Veins isn't a band for me. Need to relisten better, maybe. The only thing I know is when the album does come out, I'll give it a listen and maybe I'll like it and then purchase it.

Let's wait for Panic! to release a new album or at least just new music. It's possible that I won't like it too (let's hope I will like it). And I'm (and everyone else is) still waiting for MCR new album. I need to have it! Pretty please.... with a cherry on top!

From First to Last is releasing new album Throne to the Wolves tomorrow. I'm out of loop with this band, I only listen to the music and just wait for albums, so just only 2 days ago I learned that Travis (their guitarist) left the band.

Why do band members are leaving my favourite bands? Life's not fair.

1. Whatever is this picture? Can you explain, please? Brendon playing a psychotic murderer and Spencer is daring Brendon to kill him. Or what? Nevertheless the picture is awesome. And there's another photo of Zack on Shane's twitter. I just want to see all the out-takes for this shoot. Thank you Shane for these two photos.

2. Went to the record shop today, as planned. I bought Bon Jovi's Crush and Metallica's Reload. And now I'm a happy person. Found lots of other awesome CDs, but I don't have that much money to but everything I want. Plus, I'm saving money for new MCR and Panic! CDs.

3. I don't even know what to do right now. I should study, but next tests are only in 3 weeks, so I can live a little right now. I'm probably going to listen to music the whole day.

4. Numbering things in the post is quite convenient.

5. Today when I and my other room-mate woke up, we started talking about the party she was at last night. And we weren't talking that loud, but the 3rd room-mate decided just to shout and cuss us out so we'd shut up. I'd think it was all right to shut us up when it was late night or an early morning, but it was 10 a.m. Normal people are awake at this time. And she's probably going to wake up at like 3 p.m. or 4 p.m and tell us that we woke her up and we are really bad people. She is a little bit crazy.
