YOU ARE LISTENING TO: KILLSWITCH ENGAGE - HOLY DIVERHOME | ADD | MAIL | SPEAK | PHOTOS | BLOCKI felt like starting a new chapter...
Sometimes just one thing can happen to make your whole outlook on life do a one-eighty and send you reeling off in a completely different direction. Which is what's happened...
So here's the new run down:
I'm Jo [or Jojo], I dye my hair purple and get inked. I want to go to Huntington Beach, CA and I will, because I'll regret it if I don't!
My boyfriend Dan is fucking amazing, my dog is the cutest dog you'll ever see, my mum is a fruitcake (but in the best possible way!)
I drink Jagermeister and Amaretto, I love to read and I can fuck about on photoshop for hours! I play guitar, steal five pence pieces and drive the world's crappest, but happiest, car!
I have six tattoos, most of them Avenged Sevenfold related and I have my lip and nose pierced. I live with two of the coolest people I know and we get drunk way too regularly!!
Want more? Ask... I'm mellowing, it's quite disgusting :)Although I love them dearly, it's fair to say that my life doesn't revolve around Avenged Sevenfold anymore.
This band dragged me out of some seriously deep holes in the past. Their music continues to inspire me and their live performances will never fail to amaze me, but there's more to me that this these days.
The five guys from Huntington Beach will always be heroes of mine, but there are some more people who deserve to be added to this list...
Okay so technically this is a fictional character, but I'm throwing him in anyway. When I was little, I always thought if I was in trouble that Bumblebee would come and save me. The new Transformers movies have only served to increase that belief. He's small, but brave and will always protect you. Sometimes I wish he did exist...
These guys have had somewhat of a rebirth. I was never allowed to watch Dirty Sanchez, because the person who's tv I could watch is on despised it so completely that it was banned from his house. Fortunately, someone amazing (aka. Fraggle) has been reminding me just how fucking epic these guys are - not to mention disgusting!
If you've never seen it before, I suggest you get on it...
Finally, and most importantly, the biggest hero in my life - my Nana.
This woman is the biggest inspiration to me, not because she's done anything great. She didn't invent anything, she's not famous for climbing mountains or bringing down empires. She just loved me for who I am, despite all the shit I constantly get myself into.
If I've ever disappointed her she never showed it (unlike my mum) and she's proud of me, even for the little things I do.
When she's happy, I'm happy. That's how it works and if you or anyone else was to make her unhappy, I'd come down on you like a ton of shit! FACT!I do like to ramble on about the sublime and the ridiculous...
Think you could survive inside my head?

[one] [two]
[three]
[four]Nothing makes me happier than being at a gig, feeling your stomach thud with the beat of the bass drum, the heat and crush of the crowd. If I had the money, I'd see a different band every day!

One more festival to go, although I may be hitting Leeds to witness the mighty Deftones again... Sonisphere kind of disappoints me, because Avenged are headlining the second stage while some awesome bands like Nine Inch Nails and Machine Head are on the main. I won't abandon them though... nuh uh!
