Our friends were tiered (on the benches where it is more peaceful).
I can’t really remember the beginning of the show; I was too busy to fight back against a drunken guy (who was bigger and stronger than me). Happily the security took the guy and pushed him at the back of the pit. The pressure was strong but it was OK for me (just I didn’t have enough place even for my feets), but not for my sister and her boyfriend. She started being weak and the security guy made us go to the first pit (the second reason, to release crushed people from the pitch number 2). He took my sister and brought her on the other side of the barrier, her boyfriend jumped and I tried to join them, but I couldn’t, too much pressure on me. So the security guy took me by the waist, checked my weight and the same way he did for my sister he removed me from the crowd as if I didn’t weigh 70kg!!! My god! Those guy are monsters (but nice ones), don’t try to fight with them.
The rest of the show was perfect. We were very close to the stage and we heard and saw the show very well (which was not obvious in a place with more than 17000 people inside). One of the best show I have seen (I never had the opportunity to see Rammstein on live before). We saw a stupid guy on fire because he jumped on the stage while there were flame-throwers in action… But the security guys had fire extinguishers so he has only burnt for 4 seconds then he was happy and proud of what he had done, so Till kicked him out of the stage.
We sang almost all the songs, even the new ones (we realized that we knew them, in the end). I was really happy to have Sonne, but I missed the other old songs… The show was too short (especially regarding the price of the tickets). Whatever, great fun, some bruises but good memories too. And I protected my ears so no more troubles than the ones I had before with my ears.
And my friend, Misd, gave me my Christmas gift in advance, the CD Teaching Materials of the Abingdon Boys School. Nothing to do with Rammstein but I am happy of that too!

So when I arrived home I had still my drawing for the Dream Contest to finish... I stopped around 1:30am French Time because I couldn't be awaken anymore.
I will submit my other drawing later, as a regular drawing.

By the way, I am tired but I feel better!!! Just one week (and a day) before holidays!!!

I am missing Chibi Japan Expo (I paid my ticket so I am angry)!!!
today, I ate sadly on my bed my lunch box I prepared for the exhibition...
I took my day off for that purpose, not to be in my bed alone... And tomorrow we were supposed to do go to the restaurant for birthday...

I support Simone Simmons who seems having the flu too. I hope Epica won't cancel the show of next weekend...

EDIT: guess what, I think it was swine flu. I am recovering, but I have been sick for more than 3 weeks, swine flu (sort of) then bronchitis and I am still coughing but less than before.

My aim was to test lenses and filters for my camera (and buy them possibly)... but Wacom was there.
I tried a bit the Cintiq12WX then they told me there is 10% discount on our products.

And I cried.

And I took my chequebook and I did this stupid cheque.

Well, I guess I am poor now...

And worse, it's too complicated for me to use it! My graphic card was good when I bought my computer, but not anymore. This is tricky, they didn't warn me that I needed a VGA or DVI plug (happily I have a VGA) to use it. I thought it was like the Intuos and USB plug was enough... But not and my card has difficulties to manage the two screens (it was better on the mac where I tried it).
But even with screen troubles, I think I will not regret it (for the moment I try not to cry because of the amount of money).

You know what, I am a poor person but a happy poor one (or will be)!

EDIT: en français. C'est trop la classe, y'a même une pince pour changer les mines du grip pen, ce qui manquait méchamment sur l'Intuos.

I feel like a ghost, I am not really there. My job killed me. I am bored of it: don't like the job, it takes me more than the job time (week-end, vacations and events cancelled because of schedule changes, late evening spent at work...) and it is destroying my health (the classic back and eyes aches but also salmonella, ameba and breakdown). Well, they pay me for that so I can pay the doctors to heal me, but I rather be in better state with less money.

My social life sucks (I see some of my friends -they will recognize themselves- only 3/4 times a year thanks to japanime conventions),

My virtual life sucks too (I am so tired I can't stand the computer screen).
I am not in the mood to do anything except complaining about my job.

So, just to explain why I am not so often here. Because working life killed the other ones.

So I will arrive late, very late and I am sad because I found the idea pretty good (and insane, and expensive too, I wonder how much they paid for the plane tickets).
I really hope that I will find people at 6pm and things will happen (like discussion, presentation and maybe dinner) because going to Paris is always a real expedition and I would be bored if nothing happens (if my sentence is not correct I am sorry but I have always had big troubles with tenses).

Hope to meet new people that day!

[EDIT 2] It was a really good moment. Angelo and Heidi were really nice and I meet many people (I have so much deviant pages to check this evening).
Nothing to do with the subject but I got my tickets for Rammstein show!!! I am happy²!!!

Finally I checked them later because I have social life (also). This was terrific and so good in the same times, I haven't seen so much messages in my message center before (It took me 3 days to win through them...)

Here is my small summary of that evening

So I arrived really late around 5:30 't the same mioment than ~Lemon-Hat but I have had no problem to find the other deviants. My trouble was to do te first step, because I am shy (yes it is true but I work on it). Happily the last session to present us the new improvements of started just half an hour after. Just the time to see the emoticon stress ball, to play with them and to get my name written on a sticker which "Hi, My name is darkgallou" which made the museum entrance woman laugh.

I won't present you the future developments of deviantART because I am sure they will be done the staff better than me. I met ~mateo52 during the presentation but he couldn't stay with us for rest of the evening. If you can read French, go to his page and read his poetry (this is short and good).

I spent the rest of the day with the other deviants and $spyed and $Heidi. We ate at a famous restaurant close to the Museum, Mc Do... Because we were too much to eat elsewhere; This is sad because there were so many cheap Japanese restaurants there (where you can eat for 10€ and you are full after that) but too small.
This has been the occasion to see (but not to try because Angelo forgot his cable) the new Wacom tablet. I discussed with the people around me and it happened that they were -most of them- photographers, *Frequence-Coeur excepted.
I met *ZeldaDreams, *Taitai03, ~frenchhastyle and ~arabesquegrotesque during the dinner, then some people started to move and change seats. So went ¢mindfuckx, =Re-d-D-ot and =0ctans and maybe other people but I am a red fish when dealing with my memory.

Then we moved to a beer bar, during the little walk (which hurt my knee a bit, I remind that I cannot do any sport before August because of my accident) I met ~vlctor and =LeMex who arrived later than me!!! At the bar I tried to discuss a bit with =nekozumi (if I am right) and with =Nirelleth.
Then after a too short moment it was time to go back home. I guided our friends from Belgium to the metro station then I went back home. My day stopped there, full of good memories, too short. I am waiting for Japan Expo now!!!

Work in progress
Kiriban 3333 for ~BrocoliRose finished
Next kiriban 5000 (screen capture by mail, please)

I want time to read all the books I have bought (now there are something like 20 unread books on my desk).
I want peaceful moments to draw my future (one day...) comics.
I want time and place to practice sports...

I want to change my life.

But I am a poor looser and I am so afraid of being unemployed and having no more money that I will go to my work tomorrow doing uninteresting, boring and time-consuming stuff.

Yesterday I read a book and today I felt better. I should read more. I don't think the book is translated in english but it was quite good (even if it is only part I over III). The French title is
L'Alliance des Trois, AutreMonde Livre I by Maxime (or Maxim depending on the editor) Chattam.
And thanks to that reading I know which book I will buy and read as soon as I can go to a bookshop.

EDIT
I wish some happy holidays and a lot of rest.
I will come back next year.

EDIT 2
Holidays arrive but I destroyed my leg (anterior cruciate ligament), so I won't do anything... did I say that some days I hate myself.

]]> ~darkgallou http://darkgallou.deviantart.com/journal/19789147/ http://darkgallou.deviantart.com/journal/19789147/ Tue, 05 Aug 2008 11:37:36 PDT
my arm and my hand are hurting. my fingers are discovering what is muscle and my arm is blocked (like a sciatica).
But the worst is I don't do anything else: no drawing, no fanfic writing and the worst of the worst, no more reading. I have something like 12 books to read (I started some and just bought the others).

And things get worse today because, now I have Breaking Dawn to read, so I know I will stop living until I finish this book (which should be OK in two days because of my work and the showing of the french translation of Heroes ).

[EDIT Aug 7th] Life can restart, reading is done. They will be happy at work, I will sleep this night (and stop being a zombie like my colleague who is reading HP7 -it was forbidden until he did his PhD presentation 2 weeks ago).

[EDIT Aug 11th] I read The Host this weekend. It was so good. I really loved this one too. Meyer is really great at love stories.


To do list:
-I did (one year and half ago) a drawing of Eragon and Murtagh (to change) in a compromising position but it is not colored yet. I have to finish this one.
-I started a drawing of Mark (le retour en force, je sens que les vacances vont être bénéfiques de ce point de vue là ) today (at work, baaaaaaad girl)
-Draw lots of things during holidays (I will post them when I will come back, in September).

By the way, you're courageous -if you're still reading my stuff- so you will be rewarded -eer, or not. I have another account on DA, for photography, here it is .

For the kiriban 2222, take a snapshot and send it to the gmail address just below with your request. I may be not here when it happens so I may not answer quickly but I will in September)

The pokemon has disappeared leaving the place for my new avatar.

Happy Birthday to me! (a little bit late)

[link] <- just wanted to say it was fun. People don't have sense of humour sometimes... The truth was I didn't first realize. I said
'Oh, she changed her avatar', then
'Oh mine also...' and
'Ooooh, everybody has changed their avatars, must be a hacking' (always my first reaction) then I understood when reading the Help Desk announcement (yes, I know, I am not fast).

Have nice holidays (if you have).

and if you have a moment, have a glimpse on (LouveT) website.

]]> ~darkgallou http://darkgallou.deviantart.com/journal/14589803/ http://darkgallou.deviantart.com/journal/14589803/ Tue, 11 Sep 2007 13:05:47 PDT I don't write.
I am not here.

I am sick (but I have strong medicines and good doctors now they are back from holidays).

And I am

sorry because I can't keep my promises,


angry because I can't do what I want,


afraid that my life will be like that for the next 50 years (Ok, it won't be, I will die before if it keeps on like that),


disgusted because this is only the result of my choices...

So please don't wait too much from me because for the moment I am not able to do anything.

And by the way, nobody (as usual) got the kiriban. Next one at 1234.
(Just a little reminder, I am waiting for a snapshot of the hit 1234 in my mailbox)
