I'm Such An Apple Snob~

Whoo, alright, so I guess it's been a little while huh. It seems my blogging is becoming more and more irregular. Oh well~

So not much has happened in my life since my last post. I think the most important thing, to me, would be getting my new baby! By baby I mean my new MacBook Pro awww yissss. I chose a Mac because of personal preference, having used both PC and Mac. My previous laptop was PC, so I decided that I wanted a Mac this time. I just prefer Mac, mostly because I personally find it to be more user-friendly. Everything is so visual and straight-forward. And let's be honest here, they just look and feel so much nicer. So yeah, I'm an Apple snob. But I'm not denying that it's not perfect. My standpoint on the whole PC vs. Mac debate is PC = Mac. Both have their pros and cons, benefits and drawbacks. In the end, it really comes down to what it is you want to use it for, and of course your own personal preference.

So, this is my first blog post using my baby! I'm absolutely loving it, it's a really brilliant computer. I went for the older MacBook, without retina display. This was for a few reasons. The first, is that retina display isn't really that important to me, as it's more aimed at people who want to use their computer for graphic design, photo editing etc. All that kind of stuff. I'm just a regular user, I don't really do anything of that kind, so I didn't think I needed to pay a shit load extra for it. Secondly, the MacBooks with retina display have flash drive storage, rather than hard drive, which means that they were generally smaller in terms of space. I need quite a lot of space, as and avid Sims 3 player. Also, the newer MacBooks don't have disc drives, which would render it completely useless to me. If I went for the retina display, I would have had to pay at least $1000 extra, for a computer with less space and no disc drive. I would eventually have to buy an external hard drive and disc drive for it, which would really add up. So, older MacBook it is! I don't really care about whether or not it's old or new, so long as it works and does what I need it to do. It was actually an very early Christmas present from my parents. Honestly, I really have the best parents in the world. I am so thankful, so incredibly grateful. I love you mum and dad!

Oh, I guess another important thing that has happened would be finishing my exams, and thus ending my academic life at high school. I just have to go back in for a bit on the 6th December, for some admin kind of stuff, and then after that I never have to set foot in my high school again~ I still don't really know how to feel about it all. My exams just came and went, I never really felt stressed or nervous about them. I just turned up, did my best in the exams and left. Before I knew it they were all over, and now I'm sitting here not really knowing what to think or what to do. I know I should get off my butt and look for a job, but I just get so anxious whenever I think about it. And besides, I just finished my exams on Friday. I'm allowed to just take a break from it all, right? What's so wrong about that? Ah... I'm such a terrible person. Well, at least give me a couple of weeks to just relax. I'll start looking for a job soon. Maybe.

I only have one more thing to say and that is OH MY GOD ACE'S NEW SINGLE ELEMENTA ALCHEMICA IS ABSOLUTELY, 100% PERFECT. I have never heard such a well composed piece of music in my life. It's stunning, completely brilliant from beginning to end, all fourty minutes of it. ACE have really outdone themselves on this one. I've already exhausted my fangirling and now my mind is in a state of numbness, it's just so amazing. I keep listening to it, over and over again. I'd say my favourite movement is probably Wind, but all movements are wonderful. I'm actually a little disappointed that I missed out on getting a copy of it. I really wanted the limited edition, but CDJapan sold out before I could get it. I'm gonna keep my eye on Closet Child CD, and if it comes up, I'm grabbing it. I really, really want a physical copy of this single. Because it is honestly nothing short or a masterpiece.

And that's all for today. I'm out~

I'm Just A Dirty Pervert~

Whooo, after my post with the GENERATION download, my page views have gone up considerably... Oh well, back to my normal, boring, hardly viewed posts now~ ^^;;

So what's up with me lately... give me a second to think about that. Uhh... really, not much has happened. Surprised? I'm not. I don't tend to lead the most exciting of lives. I guess, the most note-worthy thing that has happened recently is how I finished high school last week. Wednesday was my last ever day at high school. Yeah, it hasn't really hit me yet. I don't think it will, to be honest. I feel like that part of my life will just blur into the distance. I don't feel particularly happy or sad about it. I guess my feeling is indifference. I'm not really bothered by it too much. Of course, I have people that I will really miss seeing every day, namely my Japanese friends who will be returning to Japan very soon. I'm actually getting kinda depressed just writing about them... But it's not like I'm depressed about leaving my school. Honestly, I really didn't enjoy my time at high school. This past year in particular has been a real drag. I'm not going to miss going at all, and I certainly won't miss having to put up with judgemental, ignorant and just straight-up irritating fuck-wits everyday. There are by far more people that I couldn't stand at my school compared to those that I actually liked. Hopefully I never have to see/deal with them again though, and this thought makes me rather happy. I can't be bothered writing more about how I feel about it right now though, I haven't really figured out my feelings myself yet. Maybe there'll be more to come on the subject later.

Err... so, me and my friend went for a picnic of sorts on Saturday. I suppose that's something interesting that happened? Interesting by my standards, anyway... //foreversocialvegetable
We just got drinks from a tea place called Hulu Cat, although ironically neither of us got tea... we both chose slushies, because it was really hot that day. Then we got bakery food and went up to the park. Even though there were quite a few people there, it was still really quiet and relaxing.

My friend had strawberry with grape jelly, I had mango with green apple jelly~

It was a good day ^^

And of course, the mandatory photo in the bathroom mirror. It's like a requirement of being female, or something. 

Ehehe, excuse the derp emanating from us both. 

Then at night we went with my brother to another tea house called Momo Tea, to meet up with her sister + sister's boyfriend + our friend Yumika. And again, ironically neither of us got tea! It had a taro milkshake with pearls, and she had grape natta. Yeah, she likes grape. I didn't get any photos of that though. After that, we went to this thing called Art in the Dark. It was in some park and there were all these light effects and weird things going on. Honestly though, I wouldn't call it art. It was more like technology in the dark. Shining a light in a tree and making it change colour isn't art. Hanging some nice smelling lanterns in trees isn't art. Projecting things onto a building isn't art. It was just a whole bunch of technology. So it was kind of disappointing, but hey, it was something to do. And that's all~

So I suppose I'd better get around to talking about what inspired the title of this post, as so far it hasn't been explained, and I've already rambled a lot. I have been spending WAY too much time on Mangago.com reading err, inappropriate materials -cough-yaoi-cough-... Seriously though, I'll start with a oneshot, and once I finish it will suggest a whole bunch of similar stories for me to read, and most of them are oneshots or really short, like two volume series. So I just end up reading random stories for ages, it's a never ending cycle. I like to chose the ones with the 'smut' tag... BECAUSE I'M A DIRTY GOOD FOR NOTHING PERVERT, OKAY. I'll admit it. Reading smutty yaoi is now one of my most time consuming hobbies. I was supposed to dedicate today to studying, but I decided that I'd just read one or two stories, and then bam! I'd spent four hours reading yaoi and the only reason I stopped was because I hadn't eaten anything at all today and my insides were crying. Just like my brain. My brain is soiled, and now all I can think about is yaoi. Okay, that's an exaggeration. It's more like, my brain is a pendulum, that swings between fangirling over bands and feeling ashamed but somehow regretting nothing about my perverted desire to read shit loads of yaoi. Although, I do also think about shopping a lot, online of course, but I never get very far with that because there always comes the point where I realise that I have no money. So yeah. To fill my void, I read yaoi. Good to know... 

Ehh this post has been a weird mix of things huh. I'll finish here. Okay. See you~

FEST VAINQUEUR - GENERATION [Album] [2012.10.17]

[UPDATE]
Sorry guys, it wasn't working cause I hadn't validated my Mediafire account. Sorrrrrrry, I'm an idiot. ><
So now I've validated, it should work fine. I'll try it myself just to make sure, though.

What's up~
Just a quick post here to provide a download link for FEST VAINQUEUR's 1st concept album, GENERATION!

I bought my own physical copy of this album, and this is MY upload. Please feel free to share and distribute it, but don't forget to credit me, or at the very least, don't claim it as yours. 

This is my first time uploading something, so if it doesn't work I apologise. If there is something not quite right, please tell me and I will try my best to fix it. 
Also, because I use iTunes, the files are in .m4a format. I'm sorry if this will be a problem for anyone! ><

It really is a fantastic album, so after you give it a listen, and if you can find the money, I really recommend that you buy it yourself! Come on guys, support this awesome band!
Just in case there is some confusion, Outbreak [Disc 1] is all new, all original FEST VAINQUEUR songs. Timeless [Disc 2] is covers of songs that deeply influenced the members.
