    The Alarm - Rock Out!



    This is getting way out of hand.


    Tried to speak to Steve - he didn't answer any of my calls.


    All is not good in gothworld. www.myspace.com/defianceofgod


    Strange how things you think are ss***** are actually good. the Alarm. yeah - big hair in the 80's - Welsh u2 copyists. Ade lent me their new cd - Guerrila Tactics - AWESOME. Pure punk rock - like Nirvana and Sex pistols. Strange - I grew up in Wales and this is the first Alarm Record I've every heard! apparently they're doing a gig in Cardiff this thursday, At The Point. Who knows, maybe I'll go. Getting into this networking thing - with Patrick Jones etc.

    Christian Voice - Nazis for the Naughties!


    S***. Another crap day I can't hear, taste or smell anything and it's a pretty shi**y sunday.

    Cancelled band practise for tonight. Trying to Sing would be like learning to levitate.

    One positive note. I was angry at the whole censorship row that I fired off a couple of lines to Patrick Jones on myspace - he's a really cool guy and so sensitive. Why are these ***ts at Christian Voice trying to ban him? Is it because they fear the truth? Anyway - seems like Pat and yours truly have similar tastes in music. I'm gonna stay in touch with him and who knows maybe Defiance of God will collaborate, or perhaps support him in some way.

    Chinese Democracy - Patrick Jones


    Gonna dive right in with some weird ***t. Read a book yesterday - Fuse - by a Welsh poet, playwright, Patrick Jones - there's a connection to Manic Street Preachers - Patrick is Nicky Wire's brother and sometime collaborator with the manics. His writing - Patrick's was really angry very now and highly polemic. Just like my own in Defiance of God. www.myspace.com/defianceofgod

    Anyway - today I hear via the web that this guy - Patrick Jones was scheduled to do a reading of his new book at Waterstones in Cardiff and it's cancelled - cause some right wing Christian fundamentalists had objected to the subject matter. Anti War - pro life - anti religion. Like are we living in Berlin 39 or what. Freedom of Speech - it's gone. He's a writer a poet a playwright, surely his mission is to enlighten and inform - and this is Wales - not the mid West of American. The Hayes in Cardiff, Waterstones - where Bill Bryson and Terry Pratchet have signed copies of their books. It's madness - a Welsh creative mind censored by the religous right wing! Dunnoh. I just lose any faith in humanity when stuff like this happens.

    Guns N Roses are about to return with Chinese Democracy their first new disc in 15 years - looks like we have a chinese democrary here in Wales.

    Avoiding people is Easy


    It's easy to do when you have to - avoiding someone. Never really practised it till today.

    Simple life skills they never teach you at school. Ducking in doorways, peering round corners, switching your phone off - all day.

    Do I regret it - like of course I do - would I do it again - NEVER.

    Made my mind up already - not gonna drop out - gonna do the songs tonight and see what happens. Really excited about Twilight Song. Fate will decide the future for the band.

    Gotta Go - steve is picking me up at 7 pm. for Abercynon.

    Castle Coch - Perfect for Twilight Song Video


    Today was a me day. A day to look inwards, a day to keep myself sane, to focus away from the pressures of Uni and sideways, away from the troubles of being in a band. Mostly I think it worked. I did something special. Something cultural, yet romantic. For someone who's spent an entire adult life in Wales I did something I've never done b4. Castell Coch - a Disney esque castle just outside Cardiff. Steve took me - he said it was a treat 4 me. Something to take my mind of all the super-normal spookieness that's been happening. It was amazing. So BIG. Like a gothic fantasy - even saw the bedrooms and the kitchen where the lords and ladies would have lived. The history was a bit lost on my but the OTT architecture and the dungeon's well let's just say it got me Thinking.

    I know I was supposed to have a day off - not thinking about work - If we needed a locaiton for a video - for Twilight song -this is it. 100%. Steve even did some test shots on his phone will upload those later. www.myspace.com/defianceofgod

    Keeping my head together is hard these days. Stuff just don't seem to go the way I'd like it. It's week 4 tomorrow. I know I said I'd give it two more weeks, well the clock has ticked on and that leaves just one week to go. I'm gonna stick with that. By the end of this week I'll have deceided whether to stay, or to Go. ***k it. I'm gonna go with my gut feeling. Should I stay or should I go?

    Supernatural Sh** Supertastic Song


    Dunnoh what to make of this but I've had one of those road to damascus moments. Like it's taken a day but I've figured it. We played Twilight Song in our halls in rehersal and the power went down. Then last night it was 3rd in our set and BAAAMMMMM! The whole house goes dark the moment I hit the opening Chord.


    I know it was Halloween like - I know weird stuff's supposed to happen, but not to me. I'm a normal (ish) girl - I'm not possessed, I'm not off my head, barking like a hound at the moon. I'm just a bit quiet, a bit cute and a bit lacking in confidence. So WHAT the ***k is it about this freaking song. OK I stole the name after the Stephenie Meyers Book - but yo sisters - I'm not signing up on this Supernatural hokum &&&king pokum.


    Mm. Me thinks too many horror movies, too much American cultural references and maybe not enough me. does that figure. Where's the real D x gone? dunnoh. &&*k - Been drinking again. Vodka Red Bull's x 5 - off my tiny little face. hey ho. Don't think there's gonna be a band practise t/m. Studio is booked for thurs - LSD's place in Abercynon. Cool as.

    Gotta go. Someone's knocking - NO PUNCHING MY F***king door!
