i was right in front of ed :) friday night - so we were different nights, maybe? i don't remember them playing lucky, & they played the pyramid song.
looking for you all night but it was a bit futile? who did you think was me? i had black hair, fishnets and a pink nurse's uniform on, in the GA, and saturday i was hanging around gate 5 with friends in a corset and plaid pants. i wish i'd asked for your number. i won't even attempt to describe the concert - should just link to this entry, every word is intensely accurate.
kind of infront of thom, kind of infront of jonny, in between, and a bit back but maybe only about 10-12 people back. there was this girl in a black top and grey sailors cap that made me think of what you'd look like from behind and then she started her convoluted interprative dancing and looked at her over manicured nails and thought hmmnh no you wouldn't have square shaped nails and giggled.
i wish i was less shy and had asked you, but some sort of brainless etiquette made me think i'd be stupid for doing so, oh well. but there was this super tall boy in a dark green t shirt and that was the boy i was there with, his head and shoulders were a little island. and my mouth is a hole of awe because i could have sworn you would return to lj and write something that would shadow me, because you just have the gift to do that, so to know it's how you feel, wow.
oh my god oh my god my heart is beating so fast & this is what i needed right now
my heart is in my throat the breath of 1200 people the ideas the thoughts the creations the being of all those peoples minds concentrated on one thing!
i can keep going & going & i wish i was drunk at this point because i feel like i am & dammit i want to be there because i want to watch & learn & listen & be & jesus i cant stop thinking & moving & typing i dont know how i am going to go to sleep tonight i wish i never had to go to work again so i can dedicate my time to things like this
12000 that cant even be a real number the numbers go so goddamn high! & the boys are sitting next to me playing magic & discussing & being away from life & they dont know i'm sitting here flipping out
i just shouted i want to quit school & never stop reading & the two drop outs looked & me & said high five no more school & the other, mine, said jesus what the hell please stop shaking you physco
they are laughing so hard & i wish i was laughing with them but i almost feel nervous & anxious & i keep asking them how to spell things & how can i drop out when i can never fucking spell anything.
& oh my i am ruiening your beautiful entry please please excuse me
NO! you are not! you are one of those i wish i was there, i wish there was a whole space reserved for all of you so i could make a fool of myself by dancing around like a mad critter. you sound so alive dear! it's infectious and makes me unafraid of the cold air in melbourne that i will have to walk into shortly but i will sing with them again tonight and think of you, and tell those boys to stop laughing, tell them to see radiohead live and lose themselves without losing themselves!
Where's the gloaming?!?! Oh dear god. I'm seeing them this Saturday, if there's no gloaming I might die. I'm glad you had a great time. The lights are amazing aren't they?
there was gloaming lastnight val and the humming/whirring physicall sucked me down - no pun at all, it was quite amazing, and poor thom's voice was feeling weak so he croaked his way through it, but still amazing, still very powerful and i cried at the end of idioteque - i dunnow but i just get the feeling you'd understand me when i said that.
Yeah I know. If I can remember correctly it's like purple and green. so fucking beautiful. I can understand about idioteque because I almost like passed out when I saw them play it and got in this pointless argument with the dumb guy in front of me. He didn't realize it was a concert and was shocked to see people reacting to songs. :rolls eyes::
i am bursting for all of the amazingness that is going to happen. nonono not just going to. that has happened and you will relive it all again and again like you were there, he was there and it will be all of that togetherness. feeling absolutely how it was, the pull, the brining, the. i'd go fuck him in the toilet out the back. tomorrow tomorrow. i miss you.
we were going to afterwards (the very last thing) but we did it first instead - both nights! i will just go on and say thom is so playful, thom is such a child, they are not serious, they are people in t shirts and jeans. oh my.
it will all be happening again at the end of this week. sigh. sigh. sigh.
oh the absolute feeling. and that is why i'm still tumbling about because i didn't think you could have the most fun and revelations combined into one event, that your mind could be fed through laughter and childishness!
