I have 给 this some thought, and I decided to write a special birthday message for my friend, Antonia. Because she is a special friend, she deserves a special birthday message. Without further ado, I'll get started.

Antonia, we have known each other since December 2015, when I had my old account, ChiliPepperLuv. 你 were sixteen, and I was nineteen. It seems like just yesterday when we were both teenagers. Where has all this time gone?

Over the past five years, 你 have shown me what true friendship is. You've shown it in the way 你 think so highly of your best friend, Paul. You've shown...

The big night finally arrived. Les and Jimmy were going to be doing their first 演出, gig in front of an audience. As they were preparing backstage, Jimmy asked, "Are 你 nervous, Les?" Les said, "Maybe a little." Jimmy said, "I'm sure you'll be fine. Don't worry about what your dad said, all right?" Les said, "All right." Meanwhile, a boy about their age was attempting to enter the club. He was very dreamy. A lot of girls liked him, but sometimes his young face made it hard for people to take him seriously. The security guard said, "You have to be eighteen to enter this club. Do 你 have an ID,...

For the 下一个 two weeks, Les threw himself into practicing his 音乐 with Jimmy. He poured all the mixed-up feelings of starting a new life and worrying about whether they might succeed into his playing and singing, and even he could tell the difference in the amount of passion coming through, especially in the sad 或者 painful songs. His improvement inspired Jimmy, who sounded better than ever, trying out new and 更多 creative beats on his drums. Jimmy sometimes also talked and cracked jokes to an imaginary audience between songs. Venus and Mars remained the only audience to hear this, with Mars...

Les reluctantly took the phone and said, "Hello?" His father said, "Les, please come home. Why did 你 run away?" Les said, "Dad, I didn't run away. I moved out. There's a difference." His father said, "I need 你 at home." Les said, "No, 你 don't. If I stayed, we'd just fight all the time. It's not good for either of us." He said, "If 你 don't come 首页 now, I'll call the police!" Les said, "Go ahead. Tell them your eighteen-year-old just left home. See how that works out for you." His father said, "Yes, 你 are eighteen. That means it's not child abuse if I beat the shit out of you!" Les...

Les went back to his father's house only long enough to pack up his Les Paul, his record collection, and a number of other essentials and favourite possessions, and then he left. Luckily, his dad wasn't home. His father often worked late, and would always impressed upon Les the importance of doing so, even though he was usually in a worse mood when he came 首页 after working too long. Les wondered if he should bother leaving a note. There was nothing he really wanted to say to his dad, but then, if he didn't say anything his father might try and look for him, and Les didn't want to deal with...

As Les cried, Jimmy placed a hand on his shoulder. Jimmy's dogs, Venus and Mars, came to comfort Les. Venus and Mars were both mixed breeds. Although they looked intimidating, the large, wolf-like appearance of both of them was the only intimidating thing about them. They were very affectionate with those they knew, especially Jimmy and his friends. They were wary of strangers, but they were not at all aggressive. Les asked, "Why does my father hate me?" Jimmy said, "I don't know, Les." Les said, "My mother loved me. Why did she have to die?" Jimmy said, "I know, buddy. She was taken from you,...

Les's fingers flew across the fretboard of his beloved Les Paul as he played along to the riff from "Day Tripper", which was playing over on his computer screen. Sitting on his half-made bed, he nodded his head to the music, unaware of anything else as the melody flowed over him. His hair flopped into his eyes as it often did when he was playing guitar, but he hardly noticed.
The song ended, and Les opened his eyes and grinned. That had been his best playthrough yet. He had been practicing a number of sixties and seventies rock songs for months now, and he only got better at them. Les glanced...

Hi, everyone! Antonia here, and several of 你 have done this questionnaire. I decided to do this one as well. I thoroughly enjoy doing these questionnaires. With that, let's begin.

1. How often do 你 like to listen to music? As often as I can.

2. Where do 你 listen to music? I listen in my study, in my bedroom, and in the living room. I don't listen to 音乐 in my bedroom as much right now, because my puppy, Joplin, is too little to go up and down the stairs.

3. Who is your 最喜爱的 singer? I'd have to say Janis Joplin. I mean, I have a dog named after her.

4. What’s your 最喜爱的 band? I...

Hi, everyone. Antonia here, and I have even 更多 exciting news. I know 你 all have been waiting for eight weeks for this news, and I am finally sharing this with you. I got a new puppy!

My new 小狗 is a Gerberian Shepsky like Roscoe. She is actually his half-sister, shared mother. She has a blue-gray 涂层, 外套 and light brown eyes that have a green haze to them, just like mine! I named her Joplin, after Janis Joplin. I was actually torn between 冬青, 冬青树 and Joplin. Of course, 冬青, 冬青树 was partially inspired 由 the 圣诞节 season and partially inspired 由 rock and roll pioneer, Buddy Holly. I called...

Hi, everyone! Antonia here, and for those of 你 who read my 文章 that I 发布 a few days ago, I know I 说 that I had some big news that I would discuss in another article. Well, here it is.

This is really big for me and RocknRollSoul60 (Paul). For the past ten years, it has been our dream (and the dream of our families) to get out of the Bible Belt, and this year. It is finally happening. In May, we are moving to Colorado.

I know. Some of 你 are thinking, why Colorado? 你 see, my uncle and Paul's father work for the same company. They both got promotions, so they will be relocating to...

Hi, everyone! Antonia here, and I'm here to talk about my plans for 2021. My grandma always told me to never beat around the bush, so I'll just get straight to the point.

As I type this, in just a few hours, we will be in a New Year! I have so much in store for 2021! As always, I will be doing 粉丝 fictions. My first 粉丝 fiction will be a collaboration with Rubyrings (Layla). We agreed to do one after New Year's. We have not worked out all the details yet, so I'm not sure when the first part will be uploaded. All I will say is stay turned.

I will also be doing blogs again this year. I know you...

Hi, everyone! Antonia here, and as usual, I'm giving my annual holiday gift of the must anticipated 粉丝 fiction trivia of the year. Without further ado, let's get started!

1. I almost titled the 粉丝 fiction where New Religion and the Radiant Terriers go on tour together, "New Radiant Religious Terriers: The Tour".
However, I felt that it would be better to 标题 it "Touring with New Friends", as it was very fitting, and the original is a bit of a mouthful.

2. When I came up with Anjanette's name, Layla came up with Ferdinand's name, as she felt his name had to be unique too.
I told her that the...

It was soon 圣诞节 Day. John and Caryn woke up, and they immediately went to the living room. John said, "Caryn, I wanted this 圣诞节 to be extra special for you. I know it didn't exactly go as planned, but it's still special in its own way. I hope 你 like this present I got you." Caryn opened her present. It was a painting of her dog, Georgia, and John's dog, Thunder. She said, "Oh, John, it's beautiful!" He asked, "Do 你 like it?" She said, "Oh, I 爱情 it! Where did 你 get it?" He said, "Allen has a cousin who does paintings of pets, so he helped me get in touch with her." Caryn...

After breakfast, John and Caryn sat in the living room. John asked Caryn for his guitar. He started strumming it, and Caryn started 唱歌 along to the melody. John smiled and said, "Caryn, 你 never told me 你 could sing." She said, "I'm a decent singer, I guess." He said, "I think you're a great singer." She said, "Thanks. I never considered it. Besides, I'm an artist at heart. You're the musician, John." He smiled and said, "Music is something I've always had. I didn't have a ton of 老友记 growing up, so 音乐 has always been like therapy for me." Caryn said, "I understand, John." He...

Back at Caryn's house, John rested his leg while Caryn fixed dinner. She said, "I'm fixing up something special just for you." He said, "I can't wait." Once she was finished, he came to the table. He said, "Oh, 你 fixed tuna melts! Thank 你 so much, Caryn!" She said, "You're welcome, John!" After dinner, Caryn said, "You look tired, John. I think you've earned some rest." He said, "I am tired." She helped him get ready for bed. She said, "You can sleep in my bed, John." He said, "Caryn, I don't want to take your bed. I'll sleep on the couch." She said, "I think you'll get better rest in the...

Caryn rushed to John's side. He didn't stir as she neared him. She knelt down beside him, firmly tapped him, and shouted, "John! Wake up!" He groaned in response. He then opened his eyes and saw Caryn. She asked, "Are 你 okay?" He groaned again. She said, "Come on, John. Talk to me." He faintly murmured, "I hurt." She asked, "Where does it hurt?" He said, "My leg." He slowly got up, but he was unable to walk on his right leg. Caryn said, "I think we should go to the hospital." She helped John up and allowed him to lean on her for support. They then headed to the hospital. John immediately...
