Now it's personal

We were rocking out at rehearsal tonight (last rehearsal before tomorrow's gig!), and were in the middle of kicking the ass of "Enter Sandman," when I miscalculated slightly on a cymbal crash and sliced open my finger on the top cymbal of my high hat.

Yes, it's official: Lars has drawn blood.

I suffer for my art!

Finger wounds bleed a lot. This was a cut from yesterday that got re-opened, before any of my flist start getting ideas about just how hard I hit my drums. ;) Still, it hurt on impact and soon I couldn't drum anymore (despite being only about 1/3 into the song) because my drumstick got all slippery with blood, which also spattered all over my sheet music and the drum kit.

I managed to clean the drum kit, but the sheet music has been thoroughly baptized in blood.

I am hardcore, it would seem.

Now I have to go collapse. My bed calls to me with siren song.

Poor Phnee. *pets* It will be better tonight. If you bleed on the audience, we will look very goth.

Out there breaking stereotypes about girl bands, eh?

Goth? Balderdash; that's 0ld Sk00l!

If I could stick my pen in my heart
And spill it all over the stage
Would it satisfy ya, would it slide on by ya
Would you think the boy is strange? Ain't he strange?

see, now your pointing out of the music sheets makes much more sense!
