Zitat Bela: "Yes, I know."

[gothikmaus]

Got back from Berlin last night. Not coherent enought to post a real report. I'll just say this: at the Autogrammestunde after the reading (I'll write more about it because it was so CRAZY it deserves a proper description) there were Wayne and Lula as well. I said hello to Wayne, who looked quite surprised to see me there, then proceeded to kiss me on the cheek twice and told Bela: "She's the cartoon girl!" And Bela replied with three simple words, which have become my favourite English words of all time:

"Yes, I know."

I don't even know how I was able keep my cool and turn back to Wayne to tell him: "He knows," as if that was the most normal thing in the world, while inside I was screaming "OMFG he still remembers me!?!?!?"

So, that's it for now. More when I don't have so much adrenaline flowing through my system. I swear my hands are still trembling.

The fact that this morning I finally had a job interview at the music promotion agency where I've wanted to work for years isn't helping me keeping calm either...

:D
Ha ha, Wayne. I'm sad I couldn't go to Berlin and meet him.
To me, Bela sayd "Bitte bitte kauft alle das Hörbuch..auch Du, ja?" because I had to leave when he wasn't even finished with his ending speech.

Heh, when Wayne said hello and kissed me, Lula got up and wanted to know who I was. Great, now everyone knows I'm the crazy person who makes those comics... XD

Wow, wish I'd went now! I'm so glad you had such a monumental weekend! It seems to have lifted your spirits. The weather has turned too and it's wonderful so here's hoping that things just keep getting better and better :)

You should have gone to the Lesung in Leipzig, the author was there and they read part in German and part in English (some people on the fanclub forum complained about the Scottish accent XD), he would've been glad to see a fellow Scots there. ;)

[angrylogic.livejournal.com]

Lol, they were complaining about a Scot having a Scottish accent? I don't know why they'd be complaining about the Scottish accent, especially since proper Scots sounds like German's speaking in English XD Maybe he's from the east coast. Even I can't understand what they're saying half the time.

I had a look at Kill Your Friends a couple of weeks ago and read the first chapter. All I could think was "Lol... Heavy Heavy..." and picture Bez from The Happy Mondays dancing with maracas XD I was a little put off by the "Best Novel Since Trainspotting" on the cover (that sort of thing annoys me - I don't think it recognises the work as an original piece the same as putting "if you like **** then you'll love this!"), but that's not really the authors fault. Once I've caught up with my reading I might give it a proper look.

Hurry up and put your tour dates up, Bela >:(

[gothikmaus.livejournal.com]

I think the author is from Irvine?

I'm reading the book and most of the time I'm just thinking "This is SO fucking British." XD

Yeah, I wanna know Bela's tour dates too. I think for the last tour they came out around April and the tour was in Septemer/October, so I guess we'll just need to be patient...

[angrylogic.livejournal.com]

IRVINE!!! BWAHAHA! WHAT A SHIT HOLE!

Seriously, it's the town next to the one I live in (not that it's much better XD) and it's a complete dive! I bet most of what's in the book is just experience from living in Irvine, although it's just written in English instead of "Haw yoo yeh fuckin' baw ahl bust yer fuckin' tits in yeh fanny". Man, really wish I'd went now XD The only good thing in Irvine is the chuck wagon down at the old Comet store that has the best tomato ketchup in the universe. Oh, and the beach park that my friends and I sometimes visit to watch people dogging.

April is only two weeks away :) I will just have to be patient and think of dogging in the meantime!

Infos are leaking... New single in September... New album in October... New tour in November, called - apparently - "Code B"...

Come on, Bela, out with the dates!

[angrylogic.livejournal.com]

Well, it is almost April anyway. September is only five months away :) In the grand scheme of things, that's not long at all.

HE KNOWS!!!!
Wow... great!

[gothikmaus.livejournal.com]

I was surprised he still remembers me, it's been a while since we last met... :)

[schonste.livejournal.com]

And splatter all those girls with blood? Yeah, that would have been awesome. XD And very appropriate, given the kind of book...

[schonste.livejournal.com]

I read Almut's entry and she seemed pretty grossed out. Was this book basically nothing but gore adn bad sex? Sounds like Bela's kind of stuff, but. Ew. XD

Re: Meine Ex(plodierte Cartoon-Girl)?

[gothikmaus.livejournal.com]

Nah, that wasn't so bad. I think he just read the most extreme stuff for the sake of entertainment. I'm reading the book in English and I like it so far. All right, I'm just on page 35, but I like how it's written. Also, the "bad sex scenes" he read were also extremely funny, so after the initial "EWW" I just laughed a lot. I mean, in one of them the guy calls the girl he's shagging "You slut! You whore!" and she only gets offended when he calls her "You... you idiot!" after running out of dirty things to say. XD

And I was there to witness everything!! XD

I remember it that way, Wayne said: "This is OUR cartoon girl."

One step to go to become court painter!

[gothikmaus.livejournal.com]

Haha, I was amused at Lula asking Wayne who I am. OK, it's official: now everyone knows who's that crazy fangirl drawing those silly comics... XD

[polarforscherin.livejournal.com]

Yes, EVERYONE. They'll all pose in front of you, when they see you at a concert.

"Next cartoon will be about me!"
"No, about me!!"
"ME...ME...ME..."

OMG this is amazing *squeeeswithyou* You gotta tell us all about it including how your job interview went!!

[gothikmaus.livejournal.com]

Well, the interview went well, but there are 15 other people who want that job. I should have an answer by the end of the month. *fingers crossed*

And yes, that was a great weekend! :D

[schwimmerin.livejournal.com]

YOU ARE A STAR. That's amazing, I'm so happy for you! :D

[gothikmaus.livejournal.com]

Haha, yeah, I'm a star. ;-) I'm just so happy I decided to go, it was just what I needed. :)
