little bit of resolve
[20 June, 2005 typed at 1:27 p.m.]

im listening to jewel's "foolish games" (and enjoying it, weird huh...my musical taste - HA)

i've decided even though it's five days late, that my foo fighters entry should be written....
although you probably know most of it and dont give a shit and i dont blame you!

it's thursday and we (danielle,ash, mike and myself) decide to head down to the hmv superstore to see how our luck falls with meeting and greeting the fooies who are doing a signing there for their new album....

waiting in line for a bit and finally it's our turn to head in - one of the security guards is counting us off (as only ten more can go in)
he's counting slowly, gets to me and im number nine!!!
my fucking god, im one of the last people to get in.....and there's a good 'nother one hundred people behind me, that will no longer have to wait because they wont get in.

we all walk inside and take the escalator upstairs, and i look over the top of a shelf of cd's and dave grohl's head is there, he's signing away!
soon we move closer, it's mike up, followed by ash, followed by me.....
(ash hands her camera to me, she get's closer to dave, then i call out her name like 4 times, danielle joins in for another 3 times...then she finally turns around) dave sees what im up to, looks right at me and does the rock singer fuck you (with middle finger up and all) pose! and what a fucking awesome pic it is, if i do say so myself!!!!!

while im standning there watching the other two get things signed...
taylor is looking at me while he's talking to chris (at this time i'd like to tel everyone that i was wearing an alanis morissette tour shirt....) and guess who is one of taylor's ex-girlfriends??? you guessed it, so he wasn't too impressed!
what can you do? (not wear the shirt, yeah i know, i know)

it's my turn....
i walk up, chris is first - he loks at me, i hand over "there's nothing left to lose" for him to sign, he asks how i am, and i wait like 2 mintues before i realise he's actually talking to me, i move on to taylor and say to chris
"yeah im not bad, and you?"
he says "good", i look at taylor, say hi, he signs, says hey and i move on to nate, who gives me a headnod and that's it........

then it's on to mister dave "mutha fuckin' foo fighter" grohl.....he looks at me, says "hi" i say hi back, he signs the cd and from my back pocket i pull out my "everlong" aussie single, pass it over to dave
he loks at it, looks at me and says
"duuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuude!" (he seems very happy to see it) he signs away, passes it back, he's guitar fingers touch my non-guitar fingers, i tell him to have a great day (what an idiot i am)
and i get rushed downstairs by some employees

meet mike and ash downstairs, followed by danielle - we all chat about how fuckin' awesome that was, we look at the pics we all took, then we hang around the alleyway of hmv to see the boys get shoved into a van and dissappaer.

listening to the edge later, they broadcast the live concert we all wished we were at....
during the middle of "stacked actors" dave is singing and says "someone is smoking weed, i can smell it" and later during the break of songs he rips with the loudest burn ever!

good ol' dave grohl....
