Rushchick10

I have never found "traditionally" handsome men very attractive. I mean, I can look at a guy and think "now, that's a good looking man," but that's typically where the inner dialog stops. To me, whether or not a man is attractive encompasses more than just their looks. It's their personality, their character, their sense of humor...the whole package. Someone said here that they thought that if you took 100 women and showed them a picture of Geddy without them knowing who he is that at least 85 of them would not think he was attractive. Well, I would be one of the 15 who did because I saw the music video for Nobody's Hero before I knew much about Rush and I thought that Geddy was totally gorgeous. But, I REALLY became attracted to him as I learned about him and found out that, not only is he an amazing musician he's also a pretty swell guy. It's also been my experience that men tend to think of themselves as more attractive (at least physically speaking) than they actually are and women are just the opposite. So I don't set much store in how a person perceives themselves. So, pictures or keep yer mouth shut! :P :madra: :madra: :madra: :madra: Oh, Your_Lion...I think you are very easy on the eyes. Yes, that is me with Geddy in my profile picture.

Dude...if Zumbi can't understand you, then you need to re-evaluate your grammar. Hey! That wasent nice! Calm down Zumbi. It was a joke :P

Yes, and naked pics of Geddy too. yes...nekkid pictures of Geddy or it never happened!! :madra: :madra: :madra:

Dude...if Zumbi can't understand you, then you need to re-evaluate your grammar.

Waxing, no. But, I am smooth and ready to rumble at any given time. :madra: :madra: Waxing is much better than using a razor on your lady parts. Lasts a lot longer. Much, much smoother too. I'm actually looking into laser hair removal from my waist down. I just...just can't do the waxing.

My thoughts go back to face planting... ;) :drool:

Geddy is a device of musical genius! Even to a genius.

Waxing, no. But, I am smooth and ready to rumble at any given time. :madra: :madra:

Teh sexiness...it burns! :drool:

I've never done the wax thing. I've also never had acrylic nails, and I've only had a professional mani/pedi once in my life (given to me for my birthday one year). I also do not dye my hair. I keep clean and well groomed, I do wear a small amount of make-up and I insist on dressing at least sort-of like I give a damn when I leave the house. I'm just not much for the usual trappings of feminine preening. But, I dislike having body hair below my waist. It's not out of trying to satisfy a man in my life, it's out of comfort for myself. I just can't stand it. I understand what the men are saying about liking a woman to have a little hair down there because otherwise it's too prepubescent. But, again, I do it for my own comfort and not for any other reason. Oh, and my body hair grows fast so I have to shave pretty much every day to keep my sanity. :P

Did you even read what I wrote? He probably only read the original post and nothing beyond that. Any time my husband (or boyfriend or whatever) had a celebrity crush it didn't bother me, honestly. One time when we were at one of my co-workers house for a BBQ, the co-worker joked with me and said that he thought my husband was paying "an awful lot of attention" to a Katy Perry video that was on TV. I just shrugged and went about my business. It's a celebrity. The chances of my husband having the chance to pork Katy Perry were a million to one, and that's being optimistic. Those are about my chances of doing the dirty deed with Geddy.

Yes, and the thing is, my husband has a crush on Lindsay Lohan, sometimes I catch him reading gossip website articles about her. He also thinks Hayden Panitierre(?) is cute. AND to top it off he works at a college in California where much thinner, firmer, and better-looking girls walk around all day in clothes that leave nothing to the imagination. So I feel as if he's being hypocritical. Also, my husband kind of reminds me of Geddy! He told me I'd probably think Geddy was cute because he has the dark long hair, hazel eyes, and big nose, just like my husband does! I joke around too about Geddy; as you know because I've joked around with you. I know how much we talk about face-planting ourselves in Geddy's lap and things like that but to be honest I'd only show Geddy nothing but respect and admiration if I met him. I mean, I've had the chance to be just feet away from him a few times now and when I see him I'm just happy :sigh: . But yeah, now I think my husband is trying to sabotage me from seeing them as well. I told him that I wanted 6-10 shows on the next tour and he's like "Well we don't have the money for that." and then he keeps buying things on his credit card. I can't win. I feel I should elaborate on something, and that is how I felt my husband was trying to sabotage my trips to see the band. My now ex-husband is self-employed and deals mostly in cash in his business. I was working as a cop at the time and I made just as much or more money than he did. I do not like using credit or credit cards for anything unless absolutely necessary. So, instead of running up debt to go see Rush, I took on a second job for a short period of time. I worked my ASS off. I'd work 12 hour shifts for the police department, get off work at 6pm, change, get a quick bite to eat, then be at work stocking shelves at Home Depot by 7-7:30, then do that until we were done (typically some time between midnight and 1 am). Then, I'd go home, catch a few hours of sleep, and get up in time to be showered and at work by 6 am. There were days I put in 18+ hours of work straight. I did this so that the household budget would not be affected by my travel to see Rush. But, all of a sudden, my husband stopped making deposits in our bank account. So, I found that the little bit I was making on the side was having to go to regular household expenses. Come to find out, he was hiding money from me in an effort to prevent me from making my trips. There were problems in our marriage before this, but everything came to a head with this and I left him. Also, for the record, I was never anything but 100% faithful to my husband and I never gave him any reason to think otherwise. Case in point: I went to see Queensryche without him (he was invited but did not want to go) and I ended up going to an after-show party with a few of the guys from the band. I have loved Queensryche for a long time and as a teenager I had the wildest crush on one of the guitarists, Michael Wilton. He was one of the band members in attendance at the party. He and I struck up a conversation and ended up spending most of the party talking about music (a lot about Rush, actually), life, etc. As the party was dispersing, he invited me to go back to his hotel room with him. I knew his intentions, and I still found him very attractive, but I politely declined and went home to my husband. So, I had a chance at a celebrity crush and I chose my husband. As much as I love Geddy, I am sure I would have made that same choice with him as well. That's just the kind of person I am...very loyal and faithful. My husband had no reason for jealousy beyond his own set of insecurities.

When I started dating my now ex-husband about 11 years ago, I had already been a Rush fan for nearly 10 years. I had a son whom I named after Alex Lifeson (because his father threw a fit when I suggested the name "Geddy"). When I met the man I would eventually marry, one of the first things out of his mouth when we started talking was "Oh! You're the Rush Chick that everyone keeps talking about." He liked Rush but was not as big a fan as I was/am. Point to all this is he knew pretty much from the get-go that I had a thing for Geddy. I fell for Geddy the first time I laid eyes on the guy. It was a combination of such amazing talent, his long hair (always been a sucker for the long hair) and the fact that he wasn't cookie-cutter good-looking. He had a very distinctive look about him and I was instantly drawn to him at the ripe old age of 14. Since that initial primal reaction, my appreciation for the man has deepened to a point where it is complete and absolute admiration for him as a musician and as a wonderful human being. Yeah, I joke around and say that I would "bang him like a loose screen door in a windstorm," but in all reality I have nothing but the upmost respect for him. He is honestly one of my very favorite human beings on the face of the earth. That being said, my future husband knew all this and never showed a hint of jealousy...until I actually met Geddy. I don't know if he truly understood how much it meant for me to just be able to give Geddy a hug (and Alex for that matter) and tell them "thank you." Oh, it was ok that we would watch Tomb Raider and he could drool over Angelina Jolie, but I put in a Rush DVD and he would give me the cold shoulder. After that, he started getting weird about me going to multiple concerts and tried to passive-aggressively sabotage my trips to see the band. That, coupled with other marital problems ultimately lead to our divorce. So, I don't know if it was a matter of he had just been hiding his jealousy or if it was sparked by my good fortune of winning a Meet and Greet in Vegas that August day. Regardless, jealousy is a horrible monster that will ruin the best of relationships. And, I believe that jealousy is OWNED by the person feeling it, not necessarily the person whom it is directed at or any other person involved in that dynamic. I say talk to your husband and try to help him understand your true feelings...not just for Geddy, but your feelings for him as well. Sometimes, the fragile men in our lives just need to know where they stand in the order of things. Like I said, I believe this jealousy is his problem, not yours. Maybe some would disagree with me, but that's just my opinion. He has some insecurity issues somewhere that are leading him to this conclusion.

:banana: :banana:

I drove 10 hours one way to go to one of the shows I attended for this last tour. Never thought I'd drive that far just to go to a concert. I'd do it again in a heartbeat. Not everyone has the money to do that as much as we would love to. They rarely come within 250 miles of me. In the 20+ years I've been a fan I've seen them in my home state twice (and still driving 120-150 miles one way). Closest for me is typically Salt Lake (about a 4 hour drive one way). So, travel is ALWAYS part of the concert plans when it comes to Rush. That's what makes it so expensive. But, the point of a journey is not to arrive, right? I've met some amazing people while traveling to see Rush. I don't regret it...I'll never forget it.

This announcement totally proves that Eddie Trunk has no idea what he's talking about. :sarcastic: Planning a tour is way different than writing and recording an album. Maybe we'll get some new songs before the tour and maybe we won't. I'm leaning more towards no new songs, just going by previous statements from the guys about wanting to take time off. Now, on a more positive note, I guess I better start saving money now since they rarely come to Idaho and I will have to travel if I want to see them at all.

Rolling Stone interview with Geddy, September 23rd, 2013 As usual, Eddie Trunk is full of shit.

Interview with Geddy - November 13, 2013 I remember another interview with Geddy saying that he felt he had more tour left in him and he wanted to keep going, but Alex wanted to be home and Neil wanted to spend time with his daughter. Geddy also mentioned that he and his wife are now officially "Empty Nesters," so they were going to focus on spending time together (traveling, etc.). So, I REALLY doubt that they are doing anything but enjoying life right now. If I can find that other interview I will post quotes from it as well.

Didn't a female cop break his nose? Just saying.... I'm a female...I used to be a cop. And, I have broken a dude's nose in a scuffle before. It happens and it's not that hard to do. An elbow across the bridge of the nose (intentional or not) will do the trick. Or, running them into a wall, or a door frame...not hard to break a nose. Screw Rush, I'd want you in my corner. :banana:

"Cocaine is a helluva drug" —Rick James Even though I know Alex wasn't high, I totally LOL'd. Alex was drunk, for the record.

You brokes it. :P It worked before! ...and then Treeduck brokes it. :fuckinputer:

You brokes it. :P

What about his wife and kids and secret wine expert girlfriend? They's call in your colleagues in blue, you'd be a rogue copper! :d13: That's the only Stynx song I like! I prefer this Renegade though... It seems we are at an impasse. I like me some Tommy Shaw ;) Geddy will have to listen to Styx in my abduction van instead of Thin Lizzy. :P
