EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE! it was awesome! if anything, Tori sounds BETTER in concert than on her albums! she played some really great songs tonight, oh, yes, she did, and about half were really old ones. some highlights were "Winter", "Hey Jupiter", "Silent All These Years", "Blood Roses", "Icicle", "Little Amsterdam", and an amazing rendition of "Personal Jesus" for Tori's Piano Bar. from the new album she did "Original Sinsuality", "The Power of Orange Knickers", "Sweet the Sting", "Marys Of The Sea", and "The Beekeeper". There were others but i am not fanatic enough to actually know every song she has ever done by heart.
whatever else i have to say, it was awesome!
by the way, for a few of you who are fairly recent to reading and don't make a habit out of obsessively reading all of someone's past entries (especially when they have been on here since 2000 like i have) a quick update so you know of whom i type.
Chip is The Ronica's Dad and Myste is not only his wife and mother of his two sons but The Ronica's 'extra mom' and my friend. the friend part was a happy coincidence and not expected at all. She is wonderful and loved.
Mary is Angel's best friend, but i may as well claim her, too, because i take better care of her. we met her when my former best friend started dating her. he has since vanished - good riddance - but we decided to keep her. she is wildly funny, driven, crazy, brilliant, and the most capable and competent person i know. she is also beautiful and caring and very passionate. she comes from a very fucked up family situation that gives her the most unique perspective on everyday things. i love her to little bits.
The Ronica is my daughter, she is 10. she is what i am passionate about. i talk about her a lot and right now i have no idea what to say. she thinks she is 20 and wants t grow up to be a masseuse which beats the hell out of the only other profession she suggested to me. right after she watched Pretty Woman. i nixed that one. she is a fey little creature that wants what she want at the price she sets and wants it all yesterday. a beautiful handful, that one!
Angel is the man i took one look at and fell in love. across a crowd, our eyes met for the second that stretch into an hour and i swear i thought i was going to pass out. my head was spinning, bells were ringing and all my breath was knocked right out of me. it took me two months to dare speak to him and two more before his hand accidentally brushed my arm and both incidents entailed the same thing. lightening struck me and i swear i died the first time we kissed and i think he felt pretty much the same way. in fact, it was such a strong reaction that i promptly went on vacation for a week to Floresville (Read: "BFE") just to see a friend while i sorted it all out. that was in June of 2001. we have had some really rough times and some easy ones, too, but i still feel me knees turn to jelly when he looks at me with his pale green eyes and a smile from him is . . . breathtaking.
"Sweet The Sting" ~ Tori
"Baby is it sweet sweet
Sweet the sting
Is it real this infusion
Can it heal where others before have failed?
If so then somebody
Shake shake shake me sane
'cause I am inching ever closer to the tip of this scorpion's tail"
"The Power Of Orange Knickers" ~ Tori
"Can somebody tell me now who is this terrorist
This little pill in my hand that keeps the pain laughin'
Can somebody tell me now a way out of this -
That sacred pipe of red stone could blow me out of this kiss
Am I alone in this..."
