I love metal too, it just isn’t a part of my lifestyle as it is for him. We do share other interests, but when I asked him if he wished I were more metal he replied that that would be ‘cool’. [...]

It seems that I don’t really like as much metal as most people do. Metal consists of probably 95% of what I listen to, but whenever I hear people talking about metal online or irl they always seem to have [...]

We really do have a great friendship. We cycle together sometimes, and we do lots of stuff from your 101 ways to cheer you up list (I accidently came on that site, and I showed her the list. It’s really great, you know?) [...]

Lately I just haven’t been able to like METAL like I used to, and yet, it’s still all that I think about. I was just at a great Symphony X show and I just couldn’t seem [...]

There, I said it. I think they’re stupid and pointless. Like rugby – what’s the point of trying to get the ball to the end of the field by throwing it backwards? We were forced to play all sorts of shit in PE at school, and I was always [...]
