don't poison everything

Fucking hell. I'm seeing Gary Numan in literally three days. I'm so anxious and excited and having to wait for the email from Townsend Records isn't helping matters. SCRATCH THAT I'VE JUST GOTTEN THE LETTER!!!!
All customers were sent the following on Nov 20th -

VIP GOLD TICKET HOLDERS -
We're looking forward to seeing you at the Gary Numan show.
Please arrive outside of the venue at 4.30pm, where you can collect your Gold VIP laminate on the door. You will also receive your CD copy of an exclusive new recording - ''Dead Sun Rising (piano version)''.
Gary Layton (Big G) from the Numan crew will come and collect you.
You can then watch the sound check and Gary will meet you afterwards. Photos are fine and he's happy to sign things of course but PLEASE don't bring too many items.


November 20th? I must have accidentally deleted it!

Wow. Okay. I'd better tell John. And book my train tickets!
My day has gotten so much better.

Now that I actually have a definite idea of when I have to be at the venue I feel so much calmer about the whole thing. But I'm still really not sure how I'll react when I meet Gary. I really hope I don't freak out too much or else he'll think I'm a total loser. I'll also be wearing my €3 platform boots which will probably make me taller than him by about an inch - I'm 5'3" and he's 5'8". I would wear my Doc Martens but I don't really get the opportunity to wear my platforms very often, and usually when I buy nice stuff I end up not wearing it.
I still don't know whether I should draw something to give to Gary, because I'm really self-conscious about my art and beides, somebody's done that already.

I'm really digging Outer Limits by SLEEP ∞ OVER at the moment. I listen to it almost every day, mostly when I wake up. For some reason I'm really disappointed with the weather at the moment - it's December and the sun is still shining obnoxiously. This time last year I was listening to La Rose by the aforementioned band a lot, when everything was raining and I started talking to Alyce. I can't really listen to it as often as I'd like now, mostly because of the weather and because it reminds me of her. I think I was also listening to a lot of White Ring and Death in June. I'd have to look at my last.fm to get a better idea.
I was also listening to Kate Bush a lot! Particularly Never For Ever and Hounds of Love. Those will always be my most favourite albums by Kate and any other artist. I just wish it would snow soon or some clouds would come so I could listen to 50 Words For Snow without something feeling wrong. I have this strange thing about music and weather. Being a goth is hard.

So is sorting out the train tickets, oh goodness.
I'll do that when I get home, unless we're going to my aunt's.
