Subject: the only book that i own's called how to lose...

Hey,
Alright here goes a post....

MY THOUGTS ON SLAVE: well slave is a song i can totally relate to right now, to me it's kinda about stupid controling people in your life, or just like life it's self and feeling like someone's slave, and although it's like a majorly moshy song, it's also depressing to me that is, not that it makes me feel depressed but it tends to be an outlet (as most silverchair's songs are for me) to get out my depressive feelings and stuff. It's also about like feeling really, like a loser and stuff, which is what i feel like right now. oh well.. other things

MEMBER YOU FEEL MOST LIKE: well i dunno.. i go thru bouts of feeling like all of them actually, curently i feel like daniel, or at least the imgage daniel puts out, like the really um.. depressed type..or something i dunno. i feel like chris a lot i guess.. cause i'm really quiet and stuff like him and i tend to mumble like he does..ben, is my favorite member, but it's kinda ironic i don't really feel to much like him. oh well.

ROCKSTOCK: if you are going to rockstock and have made plans to meet me there give me a call sometime, my number is [phone number removed] so we can get this stuff planed out for sure.

that's it,
bye

hey, i went to edgefest on August 29th which rocked house!!! Silverchair played more songs then i thought they would. I can't remember the order they were played but i do know that they played slave,freak,abuse me,isreals son,pure massacre,the door,tomorrow and probably a few more that i just cant remember. The mosh pit was the worst for Silverchair(obviosuly) so, i left once silverchair went on stage because i didn't want to miss one bit of it! Ben's hair is really cool! he's got a mowhawk. Daniel's hair is back to blonde in dreads. my friend had backstage passes and he told me that when he went to ask Daniel for his autograph that Daniel told him to "fuck off" now, i personally think that is rather rude. I can understand it if he had a bunch of teenie girls after him(probably the way i would be) but not they way my friend is, he just called Daniel's name and asked for an autograph as Daniel was walking by. Now, i don't think thats very fair. Now, i don't know everyone that is on this mailing list but Ryan(you know who you are) if you are out there, reading this, i'm sorry, i shouldn't be speaking for you but i just don't think it's fair and that crushed all of what i thought daniel was like....anyway....i'm not sure what else to write so, i'll just send this review in.

Subject: barq's has bite

cool subject huh? :) Ok, anyways, I'm gonna talk about why Daniel is my favorite and why I sorta relate to him. First, we both like the same kind of music (but than again, that could apply for Ben and Chris as well). We're both vegetarians and we both love animals. We both are not too keen on going out- we would much rather stay at home. I know these are really dumb reasons, but I had to think of stuff to put here! :) Anyways, Daniel is my favorite for one main reason-- he is the best fuckin guitarist on earth!

later,

Subject: common characteristics & stupid people

hi guys =)*

i'm going to answer the question this week! i don't really relate to any of the guys in silverchair! ;) daniel appears to me that he wants to be cool... chris is really quiet (and very unlike me in that sense) and seems really laidback... and well, ben is a pimp! ;) so i don't think i'm really like any of them! ;)

about the song for this week, i like 'slave' cos i think daniel's basically saying that people may tell you what to do and the best thing to do is deal with it however you can. when people fuck with you and push you around, that song can be kind of insprining! ;) i'll shut up for this time...

take care,
christy - punk rawk girly
