If you're not in the G-Club and want one of these, I'd join as soon as possible, because we're knocking off the tickets fast. G-Club gets 25% off all concerts played during span of membership. gorillaz.com has all the info.

APRIL 18 COACHELLA HEADLINER.
JAY-Z HEADLINES THE 16, MUSE THE 17, AND THERE IS A 'SPECIAL SURPRISE' IF YOU ARRIVE AT THE CAMPGROUNDS ON THE 15TH.
As far as I know, G-Club doesn't touch this one. stubhub.com may get you a cheaper ticket, it's very touch and go and I cannot promise that it is not a rip-off site. Try it at your own risk.

April 29, 30 London Roundhouse
This is the first time they've performed in London since 2001! "For those not lucky enough to catch the intimate fan club shows, Plastic Beach will touch down in London [...] as the music of Gorillaz is performed over two nights [...]. With songs taken from right across Gorillaz' back catalogue, the Roundhouse dates will include full Gorillaz production, featuring animation, artwork and film," as well as the House Band and guest stars lineup. Outstanding!

TICKET INFORMATION: (Prices before the normal added charges, booking fees, whatnot)

G-CLUB Presale: Tuesday, March 23 at 7:30AM GMT
Live Nation Presale: Thursday, March 24 at 9:00AM. Apparently this presale requires no membereship or extra payment, only website registration - but I'd scour the site to make sure if I were you.
Roundhouse Members Presale: Thursday, March 24 at 10:00AM
General Public: (£45) Friday, March 26 at 9AM

I only have ticket price info for Roundhouse General Public, will grab and/or search for the others later.

This took me an hour to put together because I love you all (but not in Murdoc's 'special way'). <3

Is that all? Am I done? I want to go to bed now. With my crisps and lemonade GOODNIGHT.

Does anyone know if it's possible to set up an RSS feed from Dreamwidth? I want to start exporting today_in_stereo to my tumblr but it's not a default import.

D:

Huh. I found out that she's been going on for months about how I'm a terrible person. Some sort of mantra to assure herself that she's not. That she was going out with someone while going out with me. I wonder if they knew.

That she was also with the same girlfriend while telling me she loved me enough to want to marry me eventually and only wanted me and Patrick. Hm. And with a girlfriend while telling everyone else she could not have one ue to an inability to cope with such a relationship. That if Patrick and I were "really two people", we ought to be dating because we are so close as siblings. This is all very interesting. I don't really care all that much.

What I care about is that apparently she kept criticizing my playing of Kaworu behind my back and praising him to my face, asking for him every night, ect. Yes, I've made certain choices with him that other players have not. But each player does that, since there is so little of us. If asked, I can back up any choice I've made for him with a tl;dr two, three pages long, at least. Therefore: why not ask?

I don't list out my whys for him because it would take about thirty pages. The only out of character things that have happened - ones that I actually had to ask ranfromrain to give me advice on how to get out of - were caused by Amber's direct involvement. I'm slowly fixing them, now. The rest? Well. I'll write out that guide. We'll see if it's too damn long for anyone to want to read. It needs chapter markers, that says to me it is too much? But then, that may help people find what they are looking for, of course.

I'm proud of where I've taken him, and nobody will ever break those feelings for me.

Especially not her.

I don't like Shijima anymore. And I don't really understand how anyone can.

I'm sorry to anyone I disappeared on, my net was sunk the pirate ship down. We'll both be on at 10:30 after a short nap. Cathryn, will you still be on then? :x

I hope to talk to people then and Pat wants to expand socially too <3.

In other news, I have a chance to get almost my entire intended music repertoire across the board and lessons to go with it. As I have many instruments (this is all excluding turntable), this is a big deal and makes me happy, yes. Here is what I may get:

Acoustic sitar OR electric keytar
Clavinet
Electric guitar
Electric viola
Melodica
Mic + stand

and all the necessary hook-ups, as well as Pat's clarinet.

IF THIS PANS OUT OH MY GOD, SHIT. I AM SO EXCITED I LOVE IT.

I'm done with it. I told the mods what they needed to know, I sent them the specific rp harassment log, and I'm done. I am going to eat, enjoy the fact that I can apparently eat now (wow, unexpected source of my constant nausea and inability to touch food without getting really ill or tossing it up) Rin's making allegations to two players at milliways_bar  about me having apparently harassed, abused, and raped her - what even - but I told the mods about that too and anyone who knows me even slightly will know that isn't true.

Apparently someone got themselves storebought cake and she made herself some, but I know that when she burns water she still uses it, so she'll just feel physically bad from all of this. XD;

Really, the only reason this hit so hard is she was one of the ones that taught me how to trust people. A feature of my OCD had been an actual phobia of trust, and while wonderful people had been working on that for years, she nailed it quickly. But I won't let her ruin it. I will trust my friends to be my friends and anyone I date to be who they are, too. I will trust myself to take better care of myself, to talk about this openly in therapy, and write a post about it in detail if I need to - with Pat's permission. She made me feel disgusting, used, and incapable of normal society. I can see now that these were just ploys to keep me where she wanted me. In later times, she admitted to having sabotaged multiple friendships or relationships of mine (one specifically would be when samarecarm  was my girlfriend) so that she could keep me to herself. Why I didn't leave sooner will be a mystery to me until I sort it out in therapy. Why Pat didn't - because I have gotten him therapy, and I am proud of us for biting the bullet on that one - will be something he sorts out in therapy.

I will also trust myself to look something over if friends are so adament about me doing so, and to act on bad feelings, not explain them away. In the end, it is all trust, and while she took a lot of things away from us for 24 hours, she won't manage it any longer. She is so off in the head that she said that because Pat and I are so close as siblings, we should just date each other. I can't even begin to approach that one.

In not just the last 24 hours (and the fact she apparently doesn't know how old I am cemented this) but the last two years, she took a lot of things away from me. I refuse to let her or anyone else do this to me any longer. I won't look at the time lost, but rather, what it will teach me for the future. I'm only sorry that Rinna got caught in the middle of it - she never, ever deserved that, and I'll never be able to make it up to her that I wasn't mentally strong enough to protect her. I hope that someday, someone can.give her what she needs in life.

We will recuperate and be glad for my true friends and family, as has been shown with all the help I've received in the past 24 hours. I thank all of you and love you very much.

Amber (as I will never respect her enough to use a nickname for her, never again) is gone, and Pat and I are so much better for it.

Hey, guys. I'm fine, seriously. I have a super-fast metabolism and anything I drank is already out of my system. It was nothing like what I like, so I know in a few months, for my destress night, that I won't use that combination.

But yeah, seriouly. I'm cool.

I am not in a ward. Yay for me! I found out I never had lyme disease, but a tick-carried disease from Colorado that they have to identify. But now I may have lyme disease.

The fact I lost seven pounds in a week helped nail in the idea that something went wrong when I got bit. This means I was never infected with anything in Maine. That's really interesting. Or rather, kind of world shaking. Huh.

Okay, what you are all really here for, if you know the situation. If you don't, well, Rinko and I don't speak anymore, but somehow it turned into wankfest 101.
EDIT: Now with less borked code!

This quote has never been more fitting, unfortunately.

The guide:

# http://guitarstarsolo.livejournal.com/2059.html This was the first hint that something had gone topsy-turvey.

# http://guitarstarsolo.livejournal.com/3363.html Followed on the same day.

# http://guitarstarsolo.livejournal.com/2623.html We then come to this yesterday.

# Following this, I come to believe the best next step is warding myself.

# http://guitarstarsolo.livejournal.com/3036.html This follows after thorough talking it over with the wonderful souls who gave advice.

# http://guitarstarsolo.livejournal.com/3274.html More today. I am better today, no ward.

# http://badninja.livejournal.com/1374523.html The small explanations can be the best.

# http://mic-soldier.livejournal.com/3451.html But we find she's involved Pat by defriending him two weeks after still trying to score sex off of him, defriending Henry as well.

# An email was sent with a simple inquiry.

# http://mic-soldier.livejournal.com/3673.html This is what comes next.

That's all we've got so far. I hope to fucking God that's the end of it.

whoop de whopp, insomnia again. so i took the time to mark up prelim schematics for stella and i's LA hats, find similar ones to hers that will help guide me, etc. stella i need to know what you're sticking the bf in since i'm making them all this weekend XDD

wheee. next step is converting this to line only on a grid, and blowing pieces up.
