Good things

[altogetherisi]

I have had a good couple of days, including:

1. A plot bunny that is actually inspiring me to write fic, which I haven't done for ages and ages
2. Six free periods yesterday and four today [and five tomorrow!]
3. Discovering how much I love Nightwish
4. Shopping. I know, I know, but I got some cute stuff.

and, probably best of all

5. Tickets for a Simon Amstell gig!! 

:D

Well, I give her points first of all for not trying to be another Tarja; it would have been far more annoying if they got someone trying to be exactly the same. I like Anette's voice and her style and what she looks like. I like how she seems excited and happy to be performing in videos; Tarja, while beautiful, seems a little cold, a little distant. It's still gorgeous of course, but in a different way, like she's acting and Anette is more there.

And Tarja did lose points in my book for leaving in the first place, so Anette gets more praise for stepping in. Anyone that keeps Tuomas' genius flowing is excellent.

Plus, my friends went to one of her first UK Nightwish concerts and they said that she was really genuinely grateful that she was received so well, so that makes me happy also. They're going to their last one in this country for a while (and planning to chain themselves to the front and somehow touch Tuomas; good luck to them) and I'm worried that I'm going to get really into them just when they go back to Finland D:

Tarja didn't actually leave. The band kicked her out in a very public and, quite honestly, very distasteful manner. I still love Nightwish, but they lost major points for bringing their private disagreements public in such an ugly and childish manner. Tarja didn't even know she was kicked out until the band posted their letter to her on their website, a move the band confirmed.

Annette definitely seems happy to be there though.
