Well.. it has been a very busy couple of weeks... well.. at least it seems that way XD
Been working a few days, then getting some commissions done. Also just finished painting an old fridge! ;p
My motorbike has been slightly pulled apart and Crazy has been cleaning it up, changing the oil and filter, cleaning cables and the chain and all that awesome jazz to make it better =3
BUT since it has been raining ALOT, the ground is all soft and squishy. i was sanding the fridge.. and when i was done i turned around and to my horror, my bike stand sunk into the ground where crazy had left it after doing some degreasing and my bike was sideways ;__________; i could smell petrol and ran to find crazy to help me lift up again... But he'd gone to work >.>... so i ran back and with every ounce of strength i squatted down next to it, held the handle bars and forced myself to lift it back up... it was intense, nearly gave up but i didnt want it lying sideways so i made myself pull it up. HEAVIEST thing i've ever lifted >.> it weighs 163KG dry... it had petrol and water, but no oil at the time so i'd say around 170KG.... and me, a 55kg weak being lifting it up.... yeh it made me sweat. gah >.>
***edit!*** forgot to mention that the gear lever snapped off and the rear indicator did too >.>... but managed to get replacements easy ^^;
Later that night and the next day i had the most painful back ache ever...;_; But its better now...i blame the bike for its pain, but i had also help move the heavy ass ancient fridge that day too... it can take a bit of the blame too XD
ANYWHO
Tomorrow I am off to Sydney to go to the MARILYN MANSON CONCERT!! YEH!! XD (this is the 2nd time going, hopefully it will be more awesome than last time >:) the last one was the heart shaped glasses tour and it was the boringest concert i'd been too. But the new album sounds better, and hopefully his performance will be too ^^ (i used to be a MECHA manson fan, til heart shaped glasses came out... trying to keep the love going!)
I will going with my sister, and plan on dressing up as a crazy punk goth...(yes i love dressing up and its a rare occasion that i ever get to!) hopefully get some photos up ^^
Other than that.... next week i'm getting ALL my wisdom teeth removed... I am quite freeked out by this and will be dead broke for a long time to come...and be in pain too... i had to borrow some money cause i didnt have many commission takers ;__; (which are still open Btw! i wont be working for at least a week or too afterwards and will have time to do more commissions!!).. maybe i'll post a commission journal later.
Umm.. on an unreleated note.. my mouse is going flat..(i love u mouse that lasts for nearly a year on one set on batteries!... keyboard is still kicking tho!)
I have lots of art for a commission i did that will be posted as soon as i'm allowed to! XD a few personal pics aswell and photos of my new suit!! =3
Later peeps!

Remember to stock up on icecubes and cold tomatosoup or sumthin like that.
And for gods sake, take an mp3 player with you to the dentist to drown out the crunching sounds *shivers*
Manson is good music for such a thing, the louder the better in my opinion.
Glad to hear you and Crazy are taking care of the bike! Unfortunately, whether by complete accident or otherwise, just about every motorcycle will have ended up on it's side a few times in it's life. They'll cough a bit when you get them back up, but there's no permanent damage done, most the time. X3
A little advice - if you have to park it there on softer ground often, get two empty cans of drink and step on the center so the top and bottom are bent towards the same side, then flatten them completely, and duct tape them together. I used two cans of Woodstock to do this, and it works great. XD
it didnt need to be on the grass, it was just closer to the hose where it was :p and funnily enough i told crazy that it might sink into the ground cause it nearly did when i moved the other day, so i had to move it again!! XD but it stayed up the whole time he was with it! just happened to fall when it was just me ^^;;; later on we used a flat peice of floorboard wood for it to stand on while on the grass ^^ then moved it to the cement (i had taken up its usual spot to paint the fridge :p ) but thanks for the tip anywho! ^^
hope you like the MM concert! you have got to try moshing! it is f@#kin good fun!
hope all go's well with your teeth. \m/
as for moshing, done it many 'o time!! Dragon force was the funnest mosh pit i've ever been in!! Oh and nightwish was hectic too!
FUR THRASH TILL DEATH!
(There's a trick to picking up bikes, actually - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1sP3.....eature=related for example. Even small people can pick up 300+kg Harleys with the right technique)
