Around the Pyre, a circle of thirteen, Throughout these woods, ecstatic screams

Today is weird. It's Halloween, I'm listening to Type O Negative and thinking about the fact that Peter Steele is no longer with us. Then I started reading this old facebook note entry from last year:

"Today is a sad day for me. Someone who I admire and hold cherished memories of has passed away.

So it took me a while to actually listen to Type O Negative, it was a sort of a boycott because my friend Tara, always made fun of me liking HIM so I didn't wanna like her favourite band either :p.
Anyways, so Tara wouldn't stop going on about Type O Negative to me and then one day she told me that Peter Steele was coming to Europe with his other band, Carnivore. And they were looking for "blood girls" to be on stage with them, so Tara coaxed me into doing it, but I wasn't as psyched as she was believe me!:D
So the day comes, and we go to the venue and meet the other band members first, and they were really nice guys. And then as I am getting dolled up in the backstage dressing room I hear a booming deep voice coming towards the room, and I was like "what kinda beast is that?" haha. And in he walked, all 6"7 of him and he was plain hot but also very scary at the same time, like I said HOT!!His eyes were a beautiful icy green colour and his smile was the cutest I have ever seen. Anyways so he took some pictures with us and hung out for a while cracking jokes and then he had to run off but told us to drink all the red wine we wanted.
So just before the show is about to start I stand next to him while he is playing with his bass and then he looks up at me and I said "wow you have really nice eyes" (so damn goofy I know, but I think the red wine had taken effect by that point :) and then he stares right at me, quite intensely may I add and replied "so do you" I think I actually nearly fainted. I'll never forget that day because it is just filled with so many amazing memories, I'll never forget that smile, the way he shouted at everyone haha (but in a joking way of course!) and how he made me actually go out and buy a Type O Negative album and love it to death.
So R.I.P Peter, I know your in a better place now and I am sure the red wine is amazing up there ;)"

I wrote that actually not knowing he hadn't been drinking for several months, so excuse the last comment. I also remembered something else from the night that I didn't include there (I seriously do have the worst most selective memory in the world!). Anyways so he had this little plastic doll and it had black hair(so did I at the time) and it was covered in blood, so it was a blood girl doll. Anyways so he walked in the room and he was telling me how his arm or shoulder was aching so he had to put some gel on it and then I ended up RUBBING IT ON HIS SHOULDER FOR HIM!daaaaaaaaaaamn and then he took this bloody doll out of his toolbox (haha yeah he really had a toolbox with him) and he said something like "look, it's you" in his awesome New Yawk accent haha awww he was adorable!

Ahhhh this makes me so happy and sad at the same time...I only met him once but I really miss him and his genius...

I'll leave you with this beautiful song...Happy Halloween everyone!
