Feb. 3rd, 2010 08:50 pmFlogging Molly are talking about doing a cruise next January. THIS IS ALL I EVER WANT FROM MY LIFE, JESUS FUCKING CHRIST. If this happens, I am going to be a part of it if it KILLS ME.
Bon Jovi's new video is like if Thirteen Ghosts had a baby with "Who I Am". Amazing! I am 99.9% sure after the Rolling Stone interview Joe and JBJ stayed text message bffs, and neither one of them is aware the other is stealing all the good ideas they gush about. Also, I think David is stealing Richie's youth, because Richie looks ten years older than he is and David looks at least ten younger.
My writing is shit lately. I have completely lost the ability to plot; every single file in my Active WIP folder is just a bunch of self-indulgent scenes that have no connection to any larger arc. FABULOUS.

Bon Jovi - The Circle
Oct. 27th, 2009 09:04 pmBon Jovi have a new album! They are still my first epic love.
( Thoughts. Warning: SO MUCH BABBLE AND INCOHERENCE )
Verdict: Oh Bon Jovi, never change. I am kind of curious to see where they go after 2010, 'cause their sound tends to change ever decade, but I think I'm getting some flashes here. There's so MUCH to every song, but this is so MELLOW. IDEK. I feel like Jon has hit this point where he's CONSTRUCTING songs, he's not just writing shit down and finding something for everyone to do. Like, idk, they've never been unpolished or half-ass but there's something about this that is SO MUCH MORE than they have been, like everything's so...full, idk. I AM SO NOT PUTTING THIS RIGHT. Whatever. I LOVE THIS SHIT my carpool buddy is gonna be so sick of it by the end of the week.

Crossover Conversations: Part One
Sep. 7th, 2009 02:29 pmYou are MORE THAN WELCOME to keep choosing, I just wanted to start posting.
Al Gore (RPF/Politics) & Ianto Jones (FPF/Torchwood)
"You don't, however, seem as excited as I'd imagined."
"My DVD sales were spectacular. I was working on a sequel. And don't raise your eyebrows at me like that, I haven't said no."
"I'm sure there are plenty of causes that have no slideshows, sir."
Kevin Jonas (RPF/Jonas Brothers) & Bruce Dickinson (RPF/Iron Maiden)
"It's not for me, it's for my daughter."
"Of course."
"You could at least pretend to believe me."
Tico Torres (RPF/Bon Jovi) & Uther Pendgragon (FPF/Merlin)
"My God, Arthur was right."
"Excuse me?"
"You will address me with the proper title, you – whatever-you-are."
Troy Bolton (FPF/High School Musical) & Margene Heffman (FPF/Big Love) (this turned into a ficlet. I'm bad at this game)
"I do. It's dead. And I'm late, like, late, and late I can handle, late is no problem, late just needs, like, a smile and a hair flip or something, but not showing up at all and not calling takes a little much. And this is maybe the third time my hu – boss, my boss, has sent me to a meeting on my own, and I'll never see one again if he finds out, and I hate everything today."
Rick Savage (RPF/Def Leppard), Joe Jonas (RPF/Jonas Brothers) & Joe Elliott (RPF/Def Leppard (I combined Kelpie's separate requests for Sav/Joe and Joe/Joe)
"So, okay, I guess you guys are tight with Taylor, or something, so I don't know what she's told you, but - "
Joe snorts, laughs a little. "Bloody Hell, teenagers. Don't you think it'd be a bit pathetic for a man my age to get involved in any of that?"
"Um. Yes."
Parker (FPF/Leverage) & Nick Jago (RPF/Black Rebel Motorcycle Club)
"It's not a movie."
"You're confusing."
"You're confusing."
"I just said that."
"I know."
"Okay."

Aug. 18th, 2009 10:19 pmSo I got the ~super special collector's edition~ Jonas Brothers Rolling Stone today, and as I was flipping through it there was a random picture of JBJ, which was...what. And I glanced around the page for context...
YOU GUYS JBJ is, like, IN THE MAGAZINE. As in. AN ARTICLE, JBJ talking with Joe. IT IS FANDOMS/OBSESSIONS COLLIDING. I AM FREAKING THE FUCK OUT and I am pretty sure the universe should've warned me so I could have braced myself. JBJ IN THE JONAS MAGAZINE. I haven't even had a chance to read it and I'm DELIGHTED. THE WORLD, YOU GUYS. I LOVE IT.
In significantly less important news, I started a new job today. It's only to the end of this week, which is too bad because it's something I can actually handle. But money's money and since I CANNOT STOP SPENDING IT I will take what I can get.
Speaking of spending money, Nathen Maxwell and the Original Bunny Gang's album came out today. BUY IT, unless you HATE AWESOMENESS.

Aug. 5th, 2009 06:39 pmMeme from ![[personal profile]](http://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
liketheroad! Post the first line from the last 20 fics you wrote. I am going through a bit of an "open with the world's longest sentence" phase right now.
1. If someone had asked Kevin if he thought Zac Efron would make a hot girl, he'd probably look at them like they were weird, 'cause that's a weird question, and say "no".
2. "So I just spent a year traveling back and forth across the country. And now I have a whole bunch of time to spend in one place. And you want me to spend more of that time than I have to...traveling."
3. Kevin has absolutely no idea what's going on – one minute he was trying to cheer Nick up with a story about this really cute armadillo he saw on tv, and he thought it was working 'cause Nick's face had gone from "I'm gonna burn holes in you with my eyes" to "I hope you can see just how much I hate you" (maybe he'd gotten it wrong and reversed the order? He had trouble with Nick's angry faces sometimes), and then all of a sudden Nick was growling at him to shut the Hell up and had him against the wall.
4. Half-listening to a conversation between Kevin and Michelle about whether some pair of pants would actually allow him to move without cutting off his circulation, Nick found himself wondering why Joe – who was usually completely incapable of letting off a joke until long after everyone else had stopped finding it even the littlest bit funny – hadn't made any Captain Tightpants comments about Kevin for a while.
5. Aya was the first girl – first person – to break Tosh's heart, when they were just little.
( TWO crossdressing fics, one sexswap, and cannibalism! I'm the best )

Really fab interview with David - he plays a few songs, two from Memphis (one that I've never heard before) and one of his solo pieces. David always gives great interview; this one touches on how he got into musicals, a brief history of Bon Jovi (he actually calls Alec John Such one of the best bassists in the world lololol ok David), and a lot about his own approach to music-making. There are some irritating mic issues but omg totally worth it.

Nov. 19th, 2008 02:56 pmNever have I so badly wished I had a spare $150.
BON JOVI SHOT GLASS SET. Zomg. I wonder if they'll sell them individually - I'd be TOTALLY HAPPY with 7800° Fahrenheit for all my shot-taking needs.
(also in the most random cross-promotion ever...you get a scarf with the shot glasses. Why.)

Jun. 3rd, 2008 04:07 amInteresting thing! In the event of a power surge, my bread machine sticks on whichever part of the cycle it was on when the power went fzzt...FOREVER. And the timer never turns itself back on. And this being only my second attempt with the machine and my first with this particular cycle, I didn't immediately notice a problem. By the time I did, it was just a routine omg that smells so good I shall look in check...and the dough was all...batter-esque. Because it had been mixing for...at least an hour. Whoops!
It actually turned out okay, though. Had to unplug the machine to turn it off, and when I replugged I just started the cycle over. Ended up with a concave loaf that's entirely too dense, but it actually worked for this particular flavor (cheese and herb). So...eh.
I am SO SICK OF POWER SURGES, though. At least now that I use a laptop it's less likely to interfere with my computering - but I keep all my multimedia on a separate drive, and oh what a laugh it is when that shuts off mid-song or mid-Torchwood-screencapping.
![[livejournal.com profile]](http://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
purplejamish's questions, now that I think I've regained coherency after yet another OMGWANT-induced frothing over the idea of someday SOMEDAY Joe Elliott singing Candy In Your Hands.
1. What are the best three pet names ever?
Prettyhead, Snugglebear, Sugar Tits
2. Do you have any guilty pleasure albums, and if so what are they?
Oh God every album I own is a guilty pleasure album. The entire Hanson discography! I have an unsettlingly large collection of techno music. Hannah Montana 2: Meet Miley Cyrus. Britney Spears' Blackout. Three or four BSB albums. Clay Aiken's A Thousand Different Ways. Going solely by what I wouldn't readily admit to owning, the entire Fall Out Boy discography, Panic! At the Disco's Fever You Can't Sweat Out, My Chemical Romance's Black Parade, plus a handful of stuff from Three Cheers. Oh! The piano tribute to My Chem.
3. Favourite thing to do on a day you have all to yourself?
Listen to my music without headphones and sing. Also, sleep. I take an unreasonable amount of joy from sleeping.
4. You can make a supergroup out of all the musicians in history: who do you pick, and what is on their tour rider?
My cop-out answer for this is Richie, David, and Tico. Cop-out because they all played without Jon on one of Richie's solo albums...but GOD, so good. Richie and David sharing writing and vocals evenly. Mmmmmmmm yeah that's delish.
Better answer! Matt Hensley(accordion), Bob Schmidt(mandolin) and Bridget Regan(fiddle, tinwhistle) of Flogging Molly as the ~*~unique flavor~*~ section, Richie & Viv as guitarists (so sorry Phil! But Richie and Viv would just mesh SO WELL COME ON), David piano-ing, Tico and Nicko DUAL DRUMMING POWAH FUCK YEAH, and Sav on bass. Vocals go to whoever damn well wants them at the time (except possibly Matt and Nicko. I don't know what they sing like and thus cannot conclusively give my approval)! SPESHUL GUEST VOCALISTS JBJ, Joe Elliott, Sting, and Bruce Dickinson (OHMYGOD EVERYBODY. GAS MASKS. THE EGO. IT IS TOO GREAT. OIDVOIDJGLOIL *SUFFOCATES*).
Tour rider includes! A special provision wherein Sav is given no space on the stage and must play his bass from David's lap, except for several designated ~*~bouncy breaks~*~. A basket of kittens in each dressing room. Several implements of kinky bondageosity no one will own up to asking for, but Viv looks rather sheepish over there. David must have access to lawn ornaments and steak knives at all times, in case called upon to display his UTTER BADASSERY.
5. If I'd just met you, would I clock you instantly as an 80s rock fan?
That is a very good question! It depends when you met me. I don't think the vast majority of my "looks" imply 80s rock fan, but sometimes.

Q Magazine: You were evicted from your lodgings in Vancouver. What for?
JBJ: A lot. We had a rented condo, it was meant for probably two people. We had five people in there. We abused the shit out of the place. You were usually drunk at night and had all the girls and all the stuff that you were supposed to do. The neighbor was a Chinese lady who had all these plastic flamingos in her garden. One night Dave went over with a steak knife and cut all the heads off. She freaked until the police came and said, "you have to leave these premises."
For some reason I find the image of David going after plastic flamingos with a knife utterly adorable. OMG. All "no look I can be a property-wrecking badass, too!" and then all upset he was the one that got them kicked out.
Oh yes.

Jan. 14th, 2008 08:29 pmBon Jovi, Def Leppard, and Flogging Molly are all gonna be in NC in March.
Man, I don't even know if I'll be back in March, and even if I were I might not have a car and I'm SURE I won't have money...but MAN, toss in Hanson and BRMC and my entire musical LIFE right now would be in my state in the same month.
In other news, migraines are ARGH. I've got a day and a half worth of Advil and two days worth of Excedrin in my system right now and IT'S STILL KILLING ME ARGH. I'm going to see a neurologist Feb. 8th. I'm just gonna crawl in wailing PRESCRIBE ME SOMETHING OH GOD PLEASE.

8:48:00 PM Mom: Your Aunt Kathy isn't doing too great. Her blood counts were so low that she couldn't have chemo this week. Her hair is falling out, too.
8:48:11 PM Heidi: Oh no
8:50:30 PM Mom: She has an appointment with the Feel Good Look Better people Friday. They will help her with skin care and scarves and will give her a wig. They will also cut of what is left of her hair if she wants. I think she will want that. The constant shedding is bothering her.
I'm definitely not going home for Thanksgiving break, too expensive. Dad remembered not to buy me a round trip ticket for Christmas break, so I'll be driving back in whatever car I end up with.
I think I'll refrain from participating in Bon Jovi communities for a bit. The more excited squee I see the more it's gonna suck I just can't fucking afford them.
It's fucking cold. Back to bed.

Dear Everyone,
Richie Sambora does not hate country. Really. You may idolize the man, and you may hate country, but that doesn't mean Richie shares your view.
In fact, and this may come as a shock to you, Richie was venturing into country before Bon Jovi as a whole was. Isn't that funny? You'd think that meant he appreciated the genre and isn't just succumbing to Jon's evil dictator country-loving ways. Ha ha. Crazy.
That's from here, an interview from May 2005, before HAND came out.
(I feel the need to point out both Joe Dee and Kenny are more traditional-country than Big & Rich and LeAnn Rimes - if whatever Richie did with them actually sees the light of day there's a good chance it'll be twangier than anything from Lost Highway)
If anyone can point me to one, just one, example of Sambora contradicting that since then? I'll believe you. I'm totally willing to buy that Richie is a spineless sod who goes along with whatever Jon wants without argument, even if it makes him cry salty, salty tears in private.
If not, will you just shut the fuck up about it? Because you sound like misinformed idiots who can't handle that their OMGHERO has different tastes than your own.

The guitarist will also use the downtime to get cracking on his next solo album, with help from some country folk. "I'm slated to write with Joe Don [Rooney] from Rascal Flatts, and I'm supposed to get together with Jo Dee Messina," he says. "I've also been talking to Kenny Chesney. I'm trying to branch out. That's what keeps you evolving . . . and I think that's part of the secret to our success."

2. "Yeah, because I wanna see Jon Bon Jovi ACT. Best night of my life" guy. *crosses another thing off the list of jokes I didn't expect*. And Richie...oh Richie.
3. DAVID. Sparkles. Yes. Sparkly sparkly. <3 Sparkles
4. OHMYGOD Al Gore skit IS SIDEWINDER WATCHING THIS JESUS SHIT. I spent the whole sketch praying Jon would somehow be involved. Also,sidewinder: it's pretty much a given that JBJ made Hammond dress up as Gore and then had sex with him, y/y?
5. I hate Weekend Update. IT NEVER ENDS.
6. PrettyprettyTaylor *mind go blank*
7. ALIEN JON. Again,sidewinder: I imagine he kept those sucker-finger gloves for fun times with Gore and/or Hammond.
9. Band naming skit: hitting a leeetle close to home there, SNL. Also: I was all "yay!" they kinda got the appearances right, but they had Davidy-guy as bassist and Alec-y guy as keyboardist :( YES I AM BITCHING ABOUT AN SNL SKIT'S HISTORICAL ACCURACY. Oh God. (and that shirt that JBJ held up? They sold one similar to it last tour - Jon's head BIG and the others little beneath it)
8. DAVID IS SO SPARKLY. SPARKLE SPARKLE.
Also, I don't think I've ever mentioned this, but it's extremely important: I am in love with Jovi's fiddle-violin chick. Mmmm.

Ballads Yay
Oct. 11th, 2007 11:44 amIn my Top Ten Lepp Songs post, lesh mentioned noticing I hadn't included Bed of Roses as one of my favorite Jovi songs. And I said that's because they have WAY better ballads. And lesh said "If you're ever in the mood to make this intense Bon Jovi ballad CD, send it my way."
... Y'all should know by now not to encourage me.
