Home…sick once again. I was almost sent home from work today. Kind of wish I was, I was harassed at work today, for over and hour. A lady wouldn’t stop, saying that I charged her more than what she owed. Calling me names ,”stupid red head, nit witted, idiotic bitch”. All because she doesn’t want to pay an extra $3.00. I even printed off the receit and showed her that I was right. I ended up having my boss come back me up, she finally listened to him and she left. Once she thought my boss was gone, she came back demanding her money back. I told her to leave because she was making me uncompfortable. My boss came back out again and told her he will call security if she won’t back off and stop harassing me. Although I hate my job and the stuck up bitches I have to wait on, my boss is a great guy and always has his employee’s backs.

In fact, he called and made me a doctor’s appoinment for tomorrow. So a little sleep in tomorrow. I feel fine, it’s just that I keep having coughing fits. I’m coughing up blood and dry reaching. Not fine and dandy I guess. But I tried to purchase some cough medicine yesterday but the lady said she wouldn’t sell me any because I’m coughing up phlem and saliva. Maybe I should’ve mentioned my acid reflux, anything comes up in my mouth.

There has been shit all on TV tonight. I’ve watched Big Brother, Ugly Betty and now House is on. I must say it’s hard to find good television when you only have 5 national channels. That’s right, Australia has five TV channels for the entire public. Ten, Nine, Seven, ABC & SBS. ABC is mainly old people bowls and BBC shows. SBS it’s international movies with lots of soft core porn. And the other 3. We get direct air US shows, well they deliver about 3 episodes of  new shows and then 3 months of repeats. Or taken off the air, which they did to Veronica Mars. Boo!

I really need my DVD player fixed.

I thought this would be a nice blog post. I’ve met a lot of cool rockstars in my time of being young, and some have been great stories to tell to my friends who just look at me in green envy. Bands such as Jet, Evermore, End Of Fashion, Good Charlotte & many more. But here are some of my all time and special encounters with these amazing musicians…

Bob from My Chemical Romance. I met him last year in early February. We had a great chat, he even told me he loved my name and asked if we could swap it. He walked around introducing himself as Belinda and pointing to me saying, “This is my new friend Bob”. There were other My Chemical Romance fans there but he seemed to take a liking to me. Ignoring them and offering me mints, we played soccer and had a good chat about The Beatles. Before he left he thanked me for hanging out with him and said he would see me next time he was in Adelaide.

This is the first time I met My Chemical Romance in Melbourne Airport. My Mum flew me over there to see Green Day’s last show for The American Idiot tour. Gerard saw my t-shirt and waved me over. We talked about Green Day and he explained how his band was so over the moon to play with one of the biggest rock bands on the planet. I told him I was from Adelaide. Not knowing where that was I had to draw him a map on the back of his magazine. He told me that he would most definately come there next time, and of course he did. It was also great to meet someone who’s almost pale as myself.

This meeting with Marco from Sugarcult was an accident. It was about 12:30 in the afternoon and I was pissed. I was at The Soundwave festival, the only bands I wanted to see were Sugarcult and The  Offspring. He walked up to me and said, “Come listen to my band”. I turned around and said, “Fucking kidding me”. We had a great chat about my t-shirt and I adored The Super Ted t-shirt in the background. Marco said he really liked seeing Aussie chicks pissed on beer at 12 in the afternoon. What can I say, I’m a pisshead at festivals.

I guess the highlight of your life is meeting that first rockstar that you fell in love when you were thirteen years old. I did very much so, Blink 182’s Mark. What an awsome guy. The girls I were with were tacky though. One asked Mark if he would sign her dress (near her breasts). He replied with, “I’m sorry I don’t think my wife would like that”. They told him he was a wanker and kept going on about it. Once they pissed off, he turned and smiled at me. Looked down to see my Blink CD. The night before he did a show for +44. Once he saw my CD he laughed and said, “You didn’t go to my show last night, did you?”. I laughed and admitted that I was just a Blink fan. We joked about our hair being so big, and girls won’t be happy that he’s outdoing em. We didn’t get to chat for long, but it was still amazing to meet him.

Of course my #1 band of all time, The Living End. This photo was taken last time I hung out with them in Melbourne. They invited me to their soundcheck and I got to hang out with them. I’ve met them a total of 11 times, and I am their #1 fan. They think I’m crazy for liking their music because they love all the other bands I listen to, and they look at me and ask, “Why us?”. I’ve been drunk with them, had smokes with them, been invited to after partys and have also had a song dedication. I’m also on their Myspace topfriends right next to Green Day. I must mean something to them if they always acknowledge me and make me feel very welcome.
