Hello, loyal readers! I am back!
Wow. I really depressed a lot of people with my last entry. Sorry about that. That's what visiting my mom's grave does. It brings up some bad emotions. I'll try to get into a better mood next time.
Anyway, guess what? My friends got a gig!
Let me explain. You see, several of us Legionnaires are in a band. They call themselves The Freedom Rockers. Silly name, but what do I know? I never was in the band, nor did I name them. I have zero musical talent whatsoever, but I am a good bouncer. Uncle Kyle and Aunt Gina's training saw to that. ;P
Anyway, my friend Kat sings and plays guitar, Kirby Allerdyce plays drums, Anna Drake plays keyboards, and Puck is the bassist. Puck's Boom-Boom's eldest kid. She is a wild child like her mother. She is also an honorary Legionnaire (Karma is her godmother, so she is a Freedom Force legacy). They're a pretty good band. I like their cover of "Whiskey in the Jar". Their version's about as good as the Metallica version.
I'm not surprised Kat and Anna formed a band. They have musician in their blood. Anna's mother is Lila Cheney and Kat's father is Ace Starr, both rock legends. Anna love the keyboards, which is what her mother plays on occasion. Kat inherited her father's love of the guitar. She's been playing since she was five. Just like her father, who played since the age of four, heh heh. She's a lot like her old man, which drove her mom crazy.
It's gonna be a real blast. I'm gonna have to find my security shirt. I'm quite a sight in my black shirt. Nobody messes with me in my black "SECURITY" shirt and pair of dark glasses. At this one gig, this anti-mutant clown tried to storm the stage, much to the consternation of the fans. I gave him a Chuck Norris-esque roundhouse, and WHAM! He was out cold. Of course, it helped that
Another fun thing I got to do today. I got to go to a gym my Grandpa Eric owns in Boston. He trains the next generation of wrestling legends there. I got to help out a bit. I can tell you, these guys found it very embarrassing that a sixteen-year-old girl was able to wipe the floor with all of them, heh heh. I can't wait to turn eighteen. I'll actually be able to wrestle for real instead of practicing. Of course, Aunt Gina and Dad are dreading that day. I understand why, but I have a dream, and I want to live it. Besides, Uncle Kyle would never let me even look at a wrestling ring until he's sure I'm ready for it.
Man, I had fun visiting Uncle Kyle's family in Boston. They are a hoot. Grandpa Eric and Grandma Mandy are really nice. They are the only grandparents I ever really had. I could tell you stories. Maybe I will on this blog. Who knows.
Oh, I gotta get off. I gotta go take care of something. I'll tell you how the gig went in the next entry!
Until next time, faithful readers!

Great entry, Christy!
Oh, and by the way, "Whiskey in the Jar" was an old Irish folk song that first hit the charts thanks to Thin Lizzy in 1972.
I'm looking forward to the gig, too!

Wow, I didn't know that, Kat. Thanks.

No problem, Frog-girl. My dad covers it whenever he performs in Ireland.

(Subj: Heh)
Yeah, I can imagine this 300-pound ex-linebacker's face after getting thrown all over the ring by a sixteen-year-old girl, heh heh.

Come to think of it, one of the students I did throw around in the ring was an ex-linebacker in college. He was around 290-300. Made him cry like a little girl once I locked him in the Figure Four Leglock. The other guys there started laughing until they got in the ring with me. They all learned a valuable lesson: Never underestimate your opponent.

You should tell some of those stories about your adopted family. I heard that the Wildfires can get pretty crazy when they are gathered together.

Yeah, maybe I will. You'll laugh your head off. But if you think the Wildfires are insane, you should check out the Blob's family. Two words: Aunt. Ralph.
