On swords, violence, and victim culture.
This is a slightly cleaned-up version of something that I wrote earlier tonight on 750words and decided I wanted to share. I'm not sure how controversial it may turn out to be, but it's several 2ps on several vexed subjects. Swords, self-defence, and why I don't like the way I was raised.

Anyone in the Whitby area this Friday? Get down to this! Classic hard rock/heavy metal from Morpheus Rising and Crimson Dream - oh, and the Rifle Club's cheap beer! ;)

I made a thing!
I hate when I'm depressed, stressed and buried under the weight of things that people are expecting me to do. So, to make myself feel better in that state of mind, sometimes I take a timeout and produce something completely off the wall that I owe to absolutely nobody. Today is one of those days, and here is the result - an earring made from an ( Read more... ) -
Vampires over Whitby!
Okay, so my beloved vampire aces Stuka Squadron got their show in Manchester on October 26th cancelled out from under them... and just GUESS where they're playing instead! Yes!

Deeeeeeer!!!!!!
Short update, but I have to share this, because GUYS GUYS GUYS I NEARLY FELL OVER A DEER TODAY. I was out in Dalby Forest with my parents and apprentice_lurk, and I was leading the way as we went down a narrow trail. All of a sudden, out of the undergrowth less than twenty feet from me, up popped a roe deer buck with a full set of antlers, his coat shining russet ( Read more... ) -
[Review] Northern Oak + Aonia, Whitby 27/7/12
Iron Lord Promotions' second Whitby show! I didn't write this gig up earlier because I went to Wacken in the middle... but here we are, belatedly. This gig was definitely a bit of a two-edged experience for me, because it was absolutely perfect in every regard but one...

Curse you all men! - or at least that one.
To the bloke who earlier tonight reached out of his car window and slapped me on the arse as he drove past me on Skinner Street, Whitby - and hit me so hard that I swear I actually thought he'd sideswiped me with the fucking wingmirror until I realised I could see him shaking his hand out as he drove away? Why yes, I DO keep my keys AND a not ( Read more... ) -
Wacken ticky box list!
Right, I'm sat around waiting for hellbound_heart so it's time for the Who Do I Want To See At Wacken game! (Note, the bands in this list will probably constitute less than one-fifth of the bands I ACTUALLY see. These are just the ones I'll be actively scheduling around ( Read more... )
