HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!!!!!!!
Firstly I just want to say a huge thank you to everyone that has sent emails, supportive words and wishes my way in regards to my mum's illness. I love you guys all so much, Thank you for caring! My mum is home now. She's still under the weather but, she's home and still kickin' and that's all that matters.
A big, Happy Valentine's Day to everyone may your day or what's left of it (and every other day for that matter) be filled with love & light.
I had to work today, nothing too stressful though. We had a big library review meeting and I had to stand up and talk in front of a whole lot of people as I was chosen (with much protesting) to be the spokesperson for our section. It's so strange, when ever I address a lot of people everything around me gets kind of blocked out... I say what I want to say but I feel as though I'm in some far of galaxy. Does any one else ever get that?
Dayglo's live...
Dayglo's were on the weekend. They weren't as good as when I saw them last time. The Disables put on a great show and Vicious and Mouthguard were pretty good... although I have seen better Vicious shows.
me & willy dayglo...
I wore this pink dress and I didn't realise till I was already out that it was pretty darn see through. I wondered why guys kept standing behind me this one punk guy came up to me and said You have the nicest bum I've ever seen, no Hello my name is..... no introduction or idle chit chat....
my best friend sj and me...
My friends played cricket in the park on Chevron Island too. I didn't play... I read some girlie mags instead... one had Gwen Stefani in a corset.... mmmmm.
On Saturday night I went to my friend Nadine's for her birthday. Everyone played a drinking game called Pops. It's pretty fun, it involves wearing glasses/goggles you make by cupping your hands and making a whole bunch of noise... it's hard to explain. I think I'll take pictures next time so you guys get a better idea. I was bad and drank margarita's! I just finished my detox and there I was drinking again... I told myself it was ok as it was a special occasion. Why do I do it to myself?
I had lunch on Sunday at the Veggie restaurant in the Valley, Veg Out with my friend Karli and her totally cute daughter Luca. I got to check out the River City Hardcore office headquarters. I'd love to do the zine one day full time and have an office... it'd be the best. AP mag used to be a zine, so I guess anything is possible if you put your mind to it.
I'm still looking for another casual job, it's proving harder to find than I thought it would... I'm determined to get one though. I really have to save if I'm going to do this overseas trip.
The zine is going well. I have all but one track for the compilation CD that will come with the zine. If you read this Dave, hurry up and get me the SH track!!
Dwarves tomorrow night, should be a riot - and Madball is Friday... sometimes my life seems sooo strange, one minute I'll be interviewing a band, working on the zine or reviewing a show and then the next I'll be in the library putting books away.... I wish I could write, draw, create and play all day long.
I've been picking up my guitar again the last few days and writing some songs. I find that I seem to write a lot more when I'm going through transitions... I guess they give you something to write about.... one day I'll have a band that stays together!
I hope this post makes sense, I'm kind of scattered right now... I need to get more sleep. I also need to go to the gym, I keep procrastinating. I haven't been able to do pole dancing classes yet, I missed out as they were full up this time round so I have to wait till the next lot.
Love,
Miss Bianca xoxo

What sort of music to you play? What sort of guitar? I used to play in bands in sydney around 1998-2000ish, but haven't had the motivation or time to start anything up here yet.
Isn't the double life thing exciting? Quiet librarian by day, raging punk rock journalist by night.. You're like a superhero!
