I've been delaying about writing about Diamanda's concert mostly because it's hard to figure out what to *say*. The fact I was even there at ALL was completely mindblowing. Hearing her sing and perform in person was just out of this world.

I think about the only negative I can say is that because I have ears really sensitive to loud noises, the concert was actually painful at times. Not because I don't love the music, but more 'cause of a physical deficiency on my part. That kind of put a damper, but on the other hand it's very cool to think that Diamanda can hurt your ears with just her VOICE. :D (Using mic delays to layer her voice and reverberate throughout the theater!)

That aside though, I was just... unbelievably impressed. Below is a list of the songs she played. I put an album name for songs that also appeared on her recorded albums. Also for those of you who don't know Diamanda, she usually does interpretations of cover songs, and more rarely, originals.

I've been in Canada five years, but haven't really made any friends or acquaintances. This is actually kind of frightening in a way. I mean, what do I do if my husband is gone? o.O

Probably sit at home all day. Which I suppose I did a lot of in college. Or maybe I'd go look at ads for gamers and stuff like I did when I was single. (Though that led to problems of its own...)

I just like quiet time too much. I go out a few hours every few days but then I just totally HAVE to be inside, writing, not bothered by anyone. The loud noise phobia (which I just looked up and found out is called 'ligyrophobia'... another phobia on my list) doesn't help. :(

I guess I could move back to the States, too. Or maybe I'd move over to Vancouver or something. That's one weird thing about not making RL connections, I can pretty much uproot and go wherever.

Ok, but all that's a tangent. On to the topics!
