That was the first song I heard by Sonata Arctica. At first I wasn't 'wowed', but Wolf and Raven grew on me. I believe it was the fast pace of the song that set me off, because back then I wasn't into that kind of music. Then I went to radioblog and looked up more of their songs. My Selene sealed it for me. After I listened to My Selene I literally demanded a friend to download the song and send it to me via MSN (Oh the days of dial up).

Two to three years later I will see them in concert. It's finally starting to sink in that I will see Sonata Arctica live. Say I'm being melodramatic, but it's been a bit of a struggle to believe that I will see them. But hey, I didn't chug two liters of OJ and sleep during the day in 48 hours for nothing. I still have a cough and my voice isn't 'normal', but I don't care. I'm grateful that whatever cold/sinus crap I had, it didn't turn out to be what someone in one of my classes had. She still may have a sinus infection which had her sick for a good five days at least. And unlike her I've kept my ability to speak above a whisper.

God. I never would have thought I'd be able to see my favorite band, a power metal band from Finland. Listening to them makes me feel as if I've neglected them thanks to Nightwish. Though it's because of finding out about this concert in April that I found out about Nightwish. Heee.

Second best(early) birthday present ever. I think my dog still comes first.


Soooo to sum this journal up -->

OBVIOUSLY THIS MEANS ALOT TO ME, AND I AM EFFING EXCITED TO FINALLY SEE SONATA ARCTICA!

*coughs and hacks*
