Re: Amanda Palmer and Brendan Maclean – “Laura”

This song is so special to me too. You played it for the first time ever at my Kickstarter house party. I remember you and Brendan figuring it out in my lounge room as everyone got to know each other outside.

That was such a weird night for me. It was equal parts amazing equal parts devastating as I was on leave from hospital to attend my own party. That song was so beautiful though and every night you performed it at Sydney Festival. You make me emote hard lady!

Love to you, Brendan, and Laura. x

Love that Teddy Roosevelt quote!

This quote from Brene Brown was written on the board in the group room at the day program i attended for treatment of my ED. It stuck with me because I struggle with it so much...

"Vulnerability sounds like truth and feels like courage.
Truth and courage aren't always comfortable, but they're never weakness."

it makes me so uneasy that you came to Australia/South Africa feeling so conflicted about being here. But this isn't about me...

I hope you can free your heart of the guilt.

It is no consolation but you enriched the lives of many people coming here. I know that doesn't mean a thing when it meant leaving someone as important as Anthony behind to do so...

I wish you and Anthony strength and love. I know how grueling long hospital stays are, so I hope every day Anthony grows stronger.

With all my love,

p.s. Obviously I have no photos from South Africa, but if you'd planned on writing about Australia in a blog in the future, I've uploaded photos here of MONA: https://www.flickr.com/phot...

Re: MOAR BOOK HELP, it’s question time again!

For women, I think it's asking for their needs/wants to be valued/considered by others, and to not be seen as an arsehole or selfish for putting her own needs before others.

For men, i think they have a hard time asking for help because it's seen as weak.

Re: on hitting a million twitter followers.

KaH — Sun, 20 Apr 2014 07:42:54 -0000

it's taken me a while to get around to reading this because all i've seen to be able to manage is short bursts of concentration, such as 140 characters! but I am glad I finally did tonight.

twitter changed my life, still through you, but it changed it completely. I've made so many friends through twitter and shared life changing, life affirming moments with people as a result.

i'm not afraid to admit that the idea of twitter sounded completely ridiculous to me when i first discovered it so I didn't get on board. I only decided to join because you kept talking about it and were going to be coming to australia soon and i knew you'd use it to keep us informed of what you were up to. that tour i managed to get free tickets to one of your shows through twitter...

you also told us about finding a grey pube and having an horrendous period resulting in you vomiting the entire night prior to one of your shows.... ahhhh connectedness.

anyway, thank you for not shutting up about twitter because now it really has made such a vast difference/improvement in connecting with others, and NEW MUSIC!

Re: ‘THE DRESDEN DOLLS’ debut double vinyl aka RECORD STORE DAY ACCIDENTAL MAGIC!!

KaH — Sun, 20 Apr 2014 07:20:48 -0000

After 4 hours tracking it down, and then another 2 hours spent on public transport due to it being Easter Holiday timetable, I finally got my hands on my precious. I was so relieved when I got to the store, Red Eye Records, because I knew they only had one copy and EVERY other store in Sydney didn't. I could have travelled for two hours and shown up for it to be sold because they wouldn't put it aside for me.

SO SO SO very happy!

BEAUTY!

I want to have the astronauts babies ... but he can raise them.

only issue, if i were to walk through spiders webs here in Australia, I may just die... maybe I need to move to Canada with their one venomous spider considering I think we have the rest of them here in fucking Australia and I am extremely arachnophobic!

Re: MORE BOOK HELP, this time: street performing & busking stories…

KaH — Mon, 17 Feb 2014 06:08:20 -0000

last time i "saw" a street performer was about 6 hours ago when i walked through the tunnel at central station sydney...

the last time i "experienced" a street performer, and interacted with them, was last night on swanston street melbourne when i saw xanthea statue. i've seen her many times and she never fails to leave me choking back tears, or actually weep.

i give her eye contact, love, money and blow her a kiss and she gives me a flower, and sometimes blows me a kiss back. yesterday i also gave her a note saying i love you.

in sydney street performer/buskers are required to get permits. a lot busk without them though. they are very strict normally at pitt street mall and in circular quay. rules are that your permit must be displayed, you are not allowed to be amplified or sell CDs. no one actually abides by these rules though.

Re: the ballet of life and death, and other injuries. (for conor).

KaH — Mon, 13 Jan 2014 03:29:36 -0000

what do you do at a funeral/memorial? (the thing amanda can't go to?) you talk about your memories, you reminisce, you spend time with people who loved the one that's gone and talk about them. this is amanda's blog, and that is what she is doing. maybe you don't see it that way?

also it doesn't matter how many interactions you have with someone, that doesn't equate to how important that relationship is or how much someone impacted on your life. i have a friend i've known for over 10 years and we've only met in person twice! she is still one of the most important people in my life who just happens to live on the other side of the world.

i know it's a complete cliche and may not be helpful to you, but happiness is journey, not a destination.

i've tried and tried again to find happiness and a reason not to kill myself. the only way i manage to get through each day is to find just one thing to look forward to or one thing to focus on that wasn't complete shit. for me i am obsessed with music so i pretty much set my life up so i always have a gig to look forward to. for some that would probably be seen as childish and selfish, but it's what gets me through, and even though the majority of the gigs i attend are full of extreme emotion that isn't happy, it's a cathartic experience, which makes me feel better in the end.

for you maybe when you finish your studies and start nursing you'll find it in the smiles you get from patients who are grateful for your help.

maybe nursing is just going to be a job but you can write to find your happy. have you got a blog? if not, start one!

Sabrina D'Angelo is the "stripper" but she is not a stripper, she is a performance artist/body poet.

also i'd hardly call it "eye-rolling self-obsession over internet bitching" more like repeated threats of murder, rape, and ripping her to shreds no matter what she did.

if it's any consolation, he looks happy to be dancing/moshing there with you, and any moment of happiness when you are depressed is extremely precious. you did that for him. so don't focus on the fact it was your turn to text, focus on the fact that you did provide him with joy throughout his life when without you, it'd have been dark.

my grandfather died in june, in the same hospital i was in. i wasn't allowed to visit him when he was still alive hooked up to machines, because i was also hooked up to a machine and my immunity was extremely low so going into his ward could have made me incredibly sick.

they let me visit him when he had passed away. i dragged my fucking feeding machine with me. crying though an outlet for grief was just fucking annoying because blowing your nose when you have a tube stuck up it is hard.

even though they stopped me seeing him while he was still alive i still ended up contracting something when i went into his ward... fucking chickenpox.

that meant i couldn't go to his wake (he didn't want a funeral) so now i too don't feel like he is gone. i said goodbye to a body, but i didn't get to say goodbye to him, with my family sharing stories and memories and love.

i hope the song lost can be of some comfort to you as it is for me and many others. maybe you should play it one of remaining nights at sydney festival.

i love you amanda, and i really hope the tough times are done with and there only happy times are ahead.
