You guys totally rock! Thanks for the kind words, they mean a lot.
I guess all I do now is wait and see what happens.
It's very weird though. The last time the Chems were in town, my grandmother had just gone on hospice a few days earlier and the doctors gave her a week to live. It was a really hard week dealing with all of that. That was the main reason why I didn't think I was going to go to the Chems - but 'stash insisted I was better off going and getting a load off my mind because there wasn't anything else I could do. And my grandmother actually lived for 6 whole months on hospice, the doctors and us all were shocked but I really think love is what sustained her for that long in her condition.
This time, it's my grandfather and the Chems are going to be here in a little over a week...

Jeanie, one day I would love to be at your side during a Chems gig.
I'm sorry, I'm feeling a bit mushy today. :-//

Same here whirly , same here , we have to meet up once , with nerdcore and the other sister and have a chemical sister night hahaha.
But it's true what Nerdcore said.
For some reason wich i still cant explain ,"Surface to air "helped me true a very shitty period of my life.
LISTEN TO YOUR SISTERS! *Hug*
And *hug* to Nerdcore to cause i know how anoying it is toe downsize your luggage haha. That's why i usually end up paying loads of money cause of overweight. Wich isn't fair coz i compensate the overweight with my own underweight. If a really heavy bloke comes in the plain with almost no luggage is the same as me plus my HUGE suitcase.

we were going to the bloc party concert in hamburg yesterday.
we were supposed to be 4 but only 3 of us were going as the 4th bloke's grandmother died yesterday. he received the phone call the minute before we wanted to leave to hamburg and decided not to come with us. for weeks, he was like "OMG, it's bloc party" and maybe the concert would have helped him a little but i totally understood him not coming with us and going to see his parents (who live about 2 hours away from here). i lost one of my father's mother lost year, not having seen her for about 10 years (split family, yes) and although it was clear that she was to go my father did not tell me about... and she even asked for me! that was hard.
my thoughts are with you, whirly. big hug from me as well.
however, go to coachella. you were looking forward to it for so long now. try to have a good time, at least at the 2 hours of chemical love

Thanks Golden Boy.
It seems like there's something in the water, with all these medical maladies. Sorry to hear about your friend's grandmother and your loss as well. Tough times indeed.
I am still jazzed about Coachella, though my excitement has been deflated quite a bit.
I just hope nothing happens, you know, and I have to miss it. I'll have to get 'stash to carry the torch for me if it does and wait for the Chems to come back around. I know it sounds incredibly selfish...

Although i cannot admit to feeling that much during my own grandfather's passing (im not a terrible person, am i?), I hope the best for your grandfather, yet if things become worse, i hope that he finds peace in his passing. I offer sincere condolences to you, stash, and your son. This topic has made me realize, our forum is amazing, isnt it? This may be one of the only internet communities out there where we can all offer sincere condolences and support to a fellow forum member going through a rough time emotionally. If someone brought up something like this on a larger forum, people might say that they felt sorry for you, but really wouldnt terribly care. The relatively small size of our forum has allowed us all to get to know each other on a more personal level, and that, we should all be thankful for. Here, were family, not just a community, and as a family we all hope the best for you and your grandfather.

Aw, you guys thanks for the encouraging words. I really do love this place and everyone in it. 
Now I'm getting all mushy!
My grandfather is a tough mofo. Last night the doctors said he wouldn't make it, and today he seemed to be in good spirits, aka feisty as heck and even gave a stern talking to my father. So it's hopeful and he's getting back to being his grumpy old man self! 8O All this at being 93 years old, with a catheter in his heart, various tubes going this way and that and doped up on morphine. He's still in critical condition and not in the clear, but the doctors were surprised and kept talking about plans for rehabilitation once he's out of the hospital - so it's good news and I can sleep a little better tonight. It's still a worrying thing just because he's so freakin old, and therefore quite fragile.
Thanks again for the encouragement you guys. I can't wait to get back to my old self... and enjoy Coachella!!!

Whirly i am happy to hear your grandfather is getting better, it sounds like he is the same as my grandma haha , a tough one , a fighter !! But please please please dear whirly DON'T let it take away your Coachelle spirit. In times of sadness , that's when we need the chems amazing music the most ! ( Well for me at least ) it's the best medicine you could possibly wish for. And don't feel guilty , or selfish , cause you've got a load on your mind ( Don't cut your hair :p) and now you've gotta dance it off !!!
I'm kinda GRRR myself today. I was on a very strong option for a very good job , for fructis you know the shampoo tv commercial , ( very strong option means i have a big change to get that job ) , they would pay A LOT of money wich i can use very well at the moment , they really really wanted me , but now at the last moment it seems the're not gonna use me. It sucks you know. Usually i dont really care cause you get rejected all the time , you've gotta be strong to handle that. But now it really sucks cause it was really good money. Argh!! :'( }:-@

Nerdy, tell your friend Danni "thanks" for being so nice! Both of you must be shaking in anticipation. Can't wait to meet the both of you, it's going to be so much fun!!
Jeanie, again, thankyou. I think everything's going to be OK for now. You know how hard it is to let your thoughts drift off into another place when worry is constantly on the mind. But I'm starting to feel much better.
And I'm sorry you didn't get that part for the Garnier spot. Rejection is never easy no matter how much you've had of it in the past. Was this going to be a print ad or television spot? Or both? Over here those tv commercials show girls with super long hair, probably wigs they use but it would've been funny for you to break out that old afro in a commercial like that! ;)
