Interlude #1
Am I back? Yes, I think so. It’s been a few years, but I’ll be talking again. Delving into my memory for tales that took place years ago and updating you on tales that have happened since I was last here.
Stick around. Things may get interesting…

Tale #5: The friends you make
You meet a lot of people doing this, sometimes you meet utter idiots, sometimes you meet people that make you want to run away, sometimes you meet people you love for an hour and hate for the rest of your life and sometimes you meet people you couldn’t imagine your life without. And then sometimes, sometimes you meet someone who changes your life forever and gives you strength you didn’t know you could have. Someone who becomes one of your closest friends. Someone who always makes time for you, no matter what. There’s a Rockstar Singer who is that person for me.

Tale #4: Complications
Inevitably, when you’ve been doing this for a long time, you’re going to run into trouble. You can be the nicest person on the planet and I can guarantee you that someone will still start talking shit about you at some point. It’s the way of the world, especially this one. That won’t be the only problem you encounter though. There’ll be Musicians talking to each other that you really don’t want happening, there will be going to shows with friends who don’t understand your life, there’s the classic bumping into an old Musician hook up somewhere you weren’t prepared to see them and that’s just the beginning.

Well, it was only a matter of time before I got on to the subject wasn’t it? You can’t live this life and not deal with drugs at some point. The last time I took any sort of illegal narcotic was 2 years, 5 months and 13 days ago. Yep, I know it down to the day. Not because I had a serious problem, but because I’m ridiculous like that. What drugs have I done? Cocaine, speed and, once, heroin. Why did I start? Idle curiosity mainly. I was 14 the first time I did coke. It seemed like fun, and it was, for a short while. Up until the point you realise you’re surrounded by people doing more and more because they’ve built up a tolerance and when they’re on coke, they’re really fucking boring. Seriously, the cliché of people on coke talking non-stop shite? It’s very, very true.

So it’s been a while. And now that I’ve typed that I have that godawful Staind song in my head. Christ.
It was my birthday recently. A time to take stock of your life or something like that. I, of course, went to a gig, which was wonderful and had a fabulous time. Miss H sent me a present through the mail, as did a former Musician love who is now one of my closest friends. It wasn’t the birthday that made me take stock of my life, but something that happened a few days later, an anniversary of seeing a band for the first time.

Tale #1: Miss C and a tour.
There are some days I wish I was just a fan. Where I didn’t have to worry about the musicians I know when they get into trouble. Where I could listen to a song without remembering something about the artist. Where I could just be someone who buys a ticket, a CD, goes to a show and goes home again. But whenever I think that I could be that person, my skin starts to crawl and I feel slightly ill. It’s just like how I feel if it’s suggested I move out of London. It’s so deep in my blood, I just don’t know how to live any other way.
Anyway. Today I heard from Miss C. I’ve known Miss C for almost 4 years and she’s wonderful. We met through a mutual friend, Miss H, and instantly connected. She’s an international jet-setter. No, really. She sells expensive things to business men at airports and the job takes her everywhere and leaves her with time to kill. A band made a hit out of a song written about her and it still freaks her out when she hears it on the radio, but she doesn’t complain because it’s a flattering song and those same rockstars still hook her up whenever they’re in a town she’s in. The last time we had an adventure together was with those rockstars. She’d flown over here, judiciously arranging her work schedule to be here for their tour as all girls like us do.

an introduction of sorts
As the name of the blog says, I spend too much time with musicians. I’ll get what you’re all thinking out of the way now and say that yes, I have had relationships with some. I’m not here to name names, so if that’s what you’re looking for, you might as well go somewhere else. I suggest the boards over at Metal Sludge, unless you’re particuarly faint of heart. What I am here for is to have somewhere to write about the life I lead, because I’m not sure many do. When I tell friends stories they often tell me I should write a novel, but I don’t have the patience for it. This suits me much better.
When I was 14, I started going out a lot. I’d go to gigs across London all the time, it was much easier to get into over-18s venues when I was 14 because the increased fines for venues that let in under age kids had yet to be applied. By the time I was 15, it didn’t matter anyway because I was almost always friends with the band that was playing. It was natural progression to me, I went and saw the bands, I loved the music and they made my life better, so why not chat to the guys afterwards? So that’s what I did. Even now, most of my male friends are in bands, and some of them I’ve now known for years.
A few things you should know when you’re reading this. ‘Musicians’ refers to guys who play music that you probably wouldn’t know. ‘Rockstars’ refers to guys who you’d almost certainly know. ‘The girls’ or ‘my girls’ refers to the girls I’ve come to know who live the same life I do and are the only people I name names with. If I talk about them individually, then they’ll be called Miss (insert initial here) because if there’s one thing we’re good at, it’s being discreet. And me? You can call me Miss K.
Welcome to my world.
