Hey everyone..

I am a newb to this site... But I have recently become obsessed with Damien. From what I have read, I know I am not alone. Unfortunatly, our radio stations don't play damien... And vh1 only plays the vid for "volcano" once every other day or so. I went to buy his "O" disc today, but the store was all out, and no other cd store was open. I felt like crying! Anywhoose, I thought I would introduce myself since I might be here for some time.

Oh yes... Damien looks just like my boyfriend in the "volcano" vid. That is if my boyfriend had more hair... But damien looks extremely attractive in that vid. (me saying "hot" would sound like a school girl.)

Hm, pointless rambling from an insomniac... Beware, this rambling stuff might happen from time to time...

Hiya Gemm!!! Welcome to the madhouse hehe [img]smileys/smiley1.gif[/img]

gemm · 11-17-2003, 06:01 AM

Horrah! Now I feel welcome. Usually when I go to any sort of message board, and annouce I am a newb to the place... I get insanly flamed. Aw, now I am going to stay forever! *tear*

I am, by the way, listening to 'the blower's daughter' mp3 from last call... and waiting on vh1 to play volcano... but they don't seem to want to put that amount of joy into me... Since when does vh1 play friggin beyonce, i watch vh1 to get away from that kind of stuff!!!

katinka · 11-17-2003, 06:19 AM

heya gemm, very welcome here. you won't regret it. and o yes we all like damiens looks ofcourse... but, seriously now, it's all about the music and his music is the soul of life at the moment. don't cry, you're in good company!! [img]smileys/smiley31.gif[/img]

gemm · 11-17-2003, 06:24 AM

yay, I could not be happier! I first saw damien on Last Call with Carson Daly, performing Volcano. Than a week or so ago, I saw the vid on vh1. Ever since that moment, my life has changed. I bust out humming volcano when I am in the middle of my job. I was so happy to find out about Damien, seeing it is the exact type of music that really gets me going. When you can just sit there, eyes closed, swaying, and singing along... That is true love of music right there!

So where is everyone from on this site? I'm from Minnesota...Midwest United States. Although I can fake a british accent that doesn't sound like total rubbish.

Greetings from Boston and welcome [img]smileys/smiley31.gif[/img]

Smithy · 11-17-2003, 09:35 AM

Well I'm just North of London UK, and my british accent isn't all that bad either lol [img]smileys/smiley1.gif[/img]
I reckon I'm listening way too much I'd say a good 70% of the music I listen is Damo lol ah well it keeps me smiling [img]smileys/smiley4.gif[/img]

Johan · 11-17-2003, 10:05 AM

Krystian · 11-18-2003, 12:16 AM

I'm from Atlanta...so far looks like I'm the only southerner on this thead[img]smileys/smiley5.gif[/img]...anywho...maybe you should try and get your cd offline if you can't find it in the stores, I got mine from barnesandnoble.com

*whoa my numbers are now 555 :O)*Edited by: Krystian

gemm · 11-18-2003, 12:44 AM

I don't trust myself with a credit card... or checking account for that matter. I'll go to best buy later this week. My new mp3's will satisfy me for now

.

Am I the only Minnesotan around here? Hmm, interesting...

Yea, I must have missed that episode of Conan...I am ashamed.

i'm from nashville, so you are not the only southerner here in the igloo heehee. and with my southern drawl i could never even come close to a british accent that didn't make you want to bust out laughing

by the way, welcome to the funny farm dedicated to damo

DaveG · 11-18-2003, 08:06 AM

why would you want to fake a british accent, surely tis an irish one would want to be working on [img]smileys/smiley2.gif[/img]

andrea02 · 11-18-2003, 08:19 AM

yeh i'll have to work on that, but i think i'd be better off letting some lovely irish man fall in love woth my southern accent

DaveG · 11-18-2003, 08:22 AM

you might want to consider Wheels...although you may have some competition in Uno-X [img]smileys/smiley2.gif[/img]

gemm · 11-18-2003, 08:27 AM

I have been working on my irish accent for awhile... It is not as great as my southern and british accents though... I just thank the Lord I never acquired the Minnesotan accent. Let's go fishing eh? Goodness! I've worked very hard to get rid of any trace of the canadian influence on Minnesotans. Mainly for my aspirations of being a star someday! Hm, yea that will happen...

Irish accents are difficult for an american... There are certain pronounciations I have down, but not many. This will be my new life goal, for a perfect Irish accent!!!
