Yesterday was a very strange day. I saw my real Dad for the first time in about 10 years, it was...weird, he came to see me and took me out for lunch etc...very strange

Then I went to Throwdown and I was in a terrible mood because I'm ill and tired and it's full of dickheads and I was all riled up looking for a fight - I know, TOTALLY unlike me... - and...blah. The first band were shit so we were taking the piss dancing - in our own space, not hurting anyone, and some big old guy shoved me and I was like what the FUCK is your problem? But my friend pulled me back - probably for the best, the guy looked like he could have chokeslammed me through the floor of the Barfly...

Then between bands, the group of guys I was there with (about 12 of them) decided to spend 20 minutes grabbing each others balls. Seriously, they'd better be pretty comfortable with their sexuality. Not having balls, I was excempt from this activity, but someone kept grabbing my ass, and it wasn't my boyfriend. Hmph.

And then Throwdown - by this point I was even more tired and grouchy - the Barfly is one of the smallest venues EVER and Throwdown ain't exactly a local band...anyway, I was about 4 or 5 rows back from the pit as I wasn't in the mood for dancing and some TWAT of a girl was in front of me, failing her arms and legs around, kept whipping me in the face with all her hair extentions...now, anyone who knows me will know I'm not adverse to hardcore dancing WHEN IT'S IN THE PIT. Or even, on occasion, around the outskirts, but when yr in a venue as small as this one, it's nice if there's somewhere you can go to escape it, and I'd have thought that, at the back of the room, I'd be safe from stupid dickheads doing some sort of crazy coby-dick style dancing. But no. Well, seeing as she CLEARLY wanted to dance, I decided to give her a little helping hand in the direction of the pit. But...she was't budging. To be fair, she was about 8 times the size of me. So she got an elbow between the shoulder blades. Negi negi, whatever, I'm ill and I'm trying to enjoy a show without yr elbow in my face but can I? No. So you'll get mine. Then over my shoulder comes Gary's hand and he's got her by the hair and I'm punching her in the back trying to get her to stop kicking me and then all of a sudden she turns round and goes for Gary and I'm PISSING myself laughing at him trying to fight off this bitch - and she fights as bad as she dances, he's got all gouges out of his neck where she CLAWED him...anyway, some guys (gary's friends, and hers) stepped in and broke it off...and then I hear her muttering about some EMO prick (HAHAHAHAHAHA) who was all like 'Girls shouldn't be in the pit...'

OK lady. Hello, I'm the emo pricks girlfriend. I'm regularly in the pit, so, uh, I guess that proves you wrong, huh? Fact is, you weren't IN the pit. The problems isn't girls in hardcore it's ANYONE (non-gender-specific) not following basic ettiquette. You think you're hardcore? Go up front, show us what you've got, don't hide at the back being...irritating.

Oh and you wanna be treated like 'one of the guys' at a show? I'd have LOVED to have seen your face if he'd straight-up punched you, right in the face. Equal rights, and all that.

Sigh.

And then, about 10 min later, another twat was doing the same thing, some stupid nu-metal dance all up on me and my pal Nick. So I brrrrrrapped him and he got verbally slu by Nick, and he was all 'why the hostility man' and Nick was squaring up to him so I stepped in, all nice and polite like, and tired to explain that you don't make a nuisance of yourself by dancing in a 'quiet' zone because it's ANNOYING so plz stop hitting us and go dance somewhere else, so off he pogoed, and then...oh shit...turns out he's with the same guys as the other girl...

CREW WARS

Ack, I say they're jealous that no-one was grabbing THEIR balls in the interval...
