The Romance Is Dead~

Hey whaddup~
So this post is a little overdue. By what, like a month? Sorry about that, but then again it shouldn't come as a surprise. We all know how horrible I am at this blogging thing. Anyway I think this post is going to be a little random. I don't want it to end up too long, but then I'm awful at being brief so it'll probably end up as one big ramble.

Actually, this first thing I want to talk about I do want to keep brief. Because I don't really know how to explain it, even to myself. As you may have guessed from the title, I just want to mention the breakup of one of the most influential bands in my life - My Chemical Romance. Wow, was that announcement sudden or what? Well, that's what I'd like to think. But when I really think about it, I feel like I kind of saw it coming a little while ago. It sounds like they did too. But they pushed on for the sake of the fans. Which is both admirable and annoying. Basically, I first heard MCR nine years ago, and I loved them instantly. They were my favourite band for a long time, and even when I was trying out new things and trying to find out who I was, they were always there, even if it was just in the background. Admittedly, I haven't really been keeping up with them as much in the last couple of years (i.e. the years that I've been into visual kei), but that doesn't mean I loved them any less. They have been there for me through countless occasions, and I'll always be grateful to them for that. I honestly think that without them I wouldn't be the me I am right now. I probably wouldn't have found visual kei. I know that the two aren't really linked, but just trust me on that one. So naturally when I saw the news pop up on Twitter late Saturday night, I was stunned. Shocked. I sort of just sat there for a couple of minutes with my mouth wide open. I felt sadness, yes. But strangely, I was able to accept it. In my heart and my head, I was okay with it. At first I didn't know why. I always thought I would be distraught by this kind of announcement, but I was okay. Well, regardless of how I felt and feel about it, they produced some really, really amazing music in their twelve years together. Those twelve years must have gone by so quickly. It was an abrupt ending that must have left so many fans feeling hurt and betrayed. But I think we, as the fans, have to understand their position in all this. I think reading Gerard's post on Twitter is a good start to achieving that understanding. I was speechless when I read it. It's not only a bloody brilliant piece of writing, it provides this amazingly comforting form of closure on the whole matter. I think rather than trying to explain it myself, and not do it any justice, it would be better if you read it for yourself. All I knew was that I agreed with him completely. And honestly, now is probably a good time for this to happen. Twelve years and four albums is a lot. It was a good, no, an AMAZING run for them, but nothing lasts forever. If they had kept going, there's a chance that they would lose their heart for it all, lose their soul. The music may have ended up being all the same. The band and the fans would get tired of it. It's better to go out with a bang on a positive note, don't you think? Well, this is just my feeling. And I really don't know what else to say about it. I could probably go on forever, but I don't want to. All that's really left to say is thank you. Thank you to My Chemical Romance and everyone who was ever a part of it. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for everything you have done for me and countless others. This may be the end, but it's not goodbye.

It actually took me a little while to understand why exactly I was so okay with all of this. I was sitting in bed, still sort of shocked by the news. I looked around my room, at the posters on my wall and the CDs on my shelves. I looked at my laptop screen, which was paused on the Kiseki no Tsubasa PV off-shot DVD that came with FEST VAINQUEUR's GENERATION. And it hit me. I was okay, because of visual kei. No rhyme intended. I know that sounds cheesy as hell, but it's just how it is. Visual kei is my security, my safety blanket. Rather than just cushioning the blow, it lifted me completely. Of course, that's not to say that MCR can be so easily replaced, because they can't. But for the past two years, visual kei has held it's own, stood next to MCR. And now in my heart it's shining brighter than before.

Okay okay, sorry about all that. I just really needed to get that off my chest. I feel good now. Actually, I feel really good, because I just got an email from CDJapan telling me that my copy of ACE's Shiroi Akuma has been shipped! Oh, that reminds me! I was gonna post about some music in my next blog! Well, technically this has been a music post but ok.

BURU2 (finally!) and Called≠Plan L and R! I got the singles a week or so after their release. I didn't care though, all I knew was that I had to get my hands on them. They'd been building up to these for a while, so I knew they would be something special. And they are. Also, I was really hoping that I would get one Yuuto card and one Minoru card. And guess what. That's exactly what I got! I actually flipped my shit. And maybe cried a little. Shhh~

Kameleo's Sandwich LOVE and Royz's Tears! I love Kameleo so much, they're such a great bunch of guys. Royz too, they've really come a long way huh! I got Takeshi for the Kameleo artist photo (HELL YES~) and Tomoya and Kazuki trading cards with Tears! So I was pretty stoked with that. Oh, also, how good is the Koi Hanabi remake?! I was so worried that they would totally butcher one of my favorite songs of theirs, but it's so damn awesome I shouldn't have worried! Sometimes bands can totally kill their good songs by remaking them -cough-SuG's Vi-Vi-Vi remake-cough-

And these are my most recent additions to the family. GOTCHAROCKA's Poisonous berry and SuG Best 2010~2012. Damn... GR are so amazing. They never, ever disappoint  Poisonous berry is just... ugh fantastic. And the PV is nothing to complain about either ;D As for SuG's best, well... I just felt like I had to have it. For sentimental reasons, you know? With the hiatus and all. 

As I said, I'm getting ACE's new single soon, hopefully within the next week. I really can't wait, it sounds like such a beautiful song. As all their songs are~

Ah, what else... I haven't really been out much lately. So just have some random pictures.

Idk. This outfit was kind of weird. But I liked it. So whatever.

I don't remember what we did this day. Derpderp.

This outfit was kind of boring, but it was waaaay too hot to bother with anything else. 

And that's all. Sorry this post is so fucking random and long. Maybe next time I'll have more structure LOL WHAT NO WAY. Oh, actually, I ordered a wig from Gothic Lolita Wigs, so I guess I'll post about that once it gets here! I'm so excited omfg. Ok. I'm really done now. See ya~

(I've never been good at selfies ok shut up)

Dream Breaker~

Uh, last minute title is last minute. I hate having to put titles, but I hate not having one. Sigh. I've been listening to GOTCHAROCKA a lot lately. They're just so good buhuhu~

Anyway, it's been a while! A lot has happened since I posted last! Sort of... In comparison to what usually goes on in my life, it feels like a lot has happened. But then it probably isn't all that much. It certainly won't be very exciting. Sorry. I never got round to posting photos of stuff that happened last year, and now I can't really remember anything about it anyway. So I'll try and incorporate some photos into this post, because I take photos of pretty much anything and everything that happens to me. So yeah. I feel like this is gonna be a long post lol sorry not sorry.

Actually, it's not even January anymore. I've forgotten what happened in January too... Useless! The only thing I can remember, and the only thing with any importance, is that I FINALLY got a job. It's only one day a week at the moment but they said that they will be offering me more hours in the near future. So yeah, I'm super stoked about it! It's kinda freaky, cause it's my first job and it's in customer service, but I'm getting there! I'm trying really hard, because I want to keep this job. I like it, and I like the people. Please don't fire me~ I know I'm super awkward and a bit slow right now but I'll keep trying!

Ahh, so other than that all that happened in January was pretty much just getting new clothes and going out places and eating good food. I haven't had any new music this year, but I ordered some from CDJapan yesterday, so looking forward to that. I guess I'll just fill the rest of this post with photos of random junk yeah? Ah, just so you know, there are gonna be some crappily edited photos of people here, because I don't want to show their faces without their permission. Sorry not sorry. Stop saying that.

This actually happened in December. We went to the zoo. 'We' was actually a lot of people, too many people for me to be bothered explaining. But there's me looking mega-derp.

This also happened in December. Idk what we did that day. But have a photo of it anyway. Wahh I miss her~ ; 3 ;

I made my second order from Rakuten in early January. The seller shipped internationally, so I didn't need a shopping service. I love World Wide Love, but to buy new is so expensive These were both second hand, and the prices were really good. About $30 NZD each. Plus they're in great condition! I love them~

This was also early January I think... I was feeling super tired and lazy one day, so I went out without wearing my wig or any makeup. I was just going out to lunch with my mum, but I felt so weird... I like this outfit though. I gotta wear it again, but with the rest.

We went to the city. I finally wore my WWL top, and it was awesome. It's so oversized I love it.

Actually, that was the day that I found a legit Candy Stripper shirt in this random Asian clothes store~ Of course, I bought it. 

Then I got my new babies. Unfortunately, I only got to wear them for one day, and had to send them back, because they were already falling apart after a few hours of wear! CDJapan was super cool about it though, and my replacement pair will be shipped to me soon. Love CDJapan <3 p="">

Went to the city again (I did that a lot last month)

Yes, we always take photos in bathroom mirrors. 

Have a derp face. You love it. 

This is the Candy Stripper shirt that I found! It has a cat on it mudafuckas. It's the best shirt ever and it's mine sorry not sorry. And my shoes. I want my new ones to get here soon because they are so beautiful crycry.

Got new Listen Flavor stuff too, cause it was on sale lol forever cheap. I haven't had the chance to wear the purple one yet because it's been soooo hot here, but I forced myself to wear the other one the day I got it.

City. Again. I wore my newish Yaponskii skirt! The picture is crap so you can't see it in all it's awesome. I also got this skirt second hand, from Closet Child. It was also only about $30 NZD. At that price, I HAD to buy it. Considering I wanted it when it was newly released but it was like 10,000+ yen omfg. 

And yeah, that's the same mirror. We always go here ok. It's cool. It's like a mall, but not many people know about it, and it's just full of Chinese/Korean/Japanese clothes/shoes/makeup/random stores. There's this really amazing Japanese makeup shop there that have an amazing wall of fake eyelashes and I die every time I go in there. 

Oh! This was also the day that we went to this thing about Japanese characters that was organized by the university or something. I wasn't expecting much though, and I was right. It was pretty much just a bunch of Hello Kitty. There were some pretty interesting characters too, but overall it was pretty limited. They had some anime characters and figures and stuff, but again it wasn't anything special. They tried!

This guy was cool though. I admit I had never seen/heard of him before. I can't actually remember what he is either my bad.

Idk why these guys were on the wall, but I'm not complaining. School guys so coooool~

This dude was creepy as shit though.

Sort of big Gundam. Or something. Idk I don't watch mecha anime ok.

They broke the exhibit down into decades. It started at 1950's or 60's I think. 

Dis old guy so cute with his chara mug~

And then a couple of days ago I went out with a different (lol my only other) friend, and we actually went somewhere other than the city. She's so pretty and cute and stuff and she makes me feel like a giant tard. But I lover her anyway. 

Wow sorry that was a lot. Actually, I have a lot more photos, but I'm so lazyyyyy. Plus I think there's already too many... Other than this, I've just been watching a lot of Adventure Time and Regular Show. I'm 100% up to date with them, too. Achievement unlocked! Also played lot's of Sims 3, because I finally got some more expansions. Supernatural, Generations and Showtime. I still need Seasons though. I'm not really fussed about the Stuff ones... Can't wait for University though! Gonna be great. I requested a tonne of manga from the library, so once they all get here I'm gonna go turbo-nerd. Yeah, I got some yaoi too hohoho don't judge me. Oh yeah, and I've been working. That's pretty much it. 

Right now, I'm trying to decide if I should spend almost $100 on a wig. And honestly, I'm leaning towards HELL YES. It's beautiful. My white one is really crappy, so it's starting to fall apart.

Oh, and I said, I ordered some music and stuff yesterday! Buuuut I'll talk about that next time. Actually, maybe I'll make my next post entirely about music, old and new. Yay!

Ehhh it looks like another badly written post. I guess I'll never get better. Whatever.

I Lied~

I'm sorry, I lied to you. This post is about a week late. Not that it really matters. It's more like I lied to myself. Because after all, that's all this blog really is. A place for me to vent and whinge and sort out my own thoughts. Whether or not anyone reads it or cares, isn't really a major concern of mine. Of course, by the slim chance that there actually are people that read my posts, then I'm truly grateful, thank you very much~

So I'll be honest, this is just a bordom post. I'm having Sims 3 issues, no surprises there, and long story short I have uninstalled and am now in the process of reinstalling my games. So now I get to play the waiting game. I've only just finished reinstalling the base game. Man, all I wanted to do today was listen to music at a volume that would piss off the neighbors and play Sims. Well, at least I can manage one of the two... I really love being home alone, because it means I can play my own music, as loud as I like, and sing along to it, as terribly as I like. I don't like to play my music too loudly when my family are around, because while I know that they don't have problem with it, they don't particularly like it either. I don't want to force people to listen to music they don't like, so usually I listen to music through my headphones or in my room with the door closed. I just wish they did the same thing for me. I don't like my parents' or my brothers' music, but that doesn't seem to stop them from blasting it while i'm trying to watch TV, or playing it in the car. I'm always pushing my volume limit because of them (I don't like to listen to music through headphones on my iPod louder than half-way with the volume, call me paranoid, but I like actually being able to hear things). Anyway, I think everyone is going to be home soon, so I'm making the most of this now. Ah, speak of the devil, guess who just walked through the door. Time to relocate...

Okay, anyway. It's unusual for me to say this, but the reason that I haven't been posting is because I've actually been pretty busy these last couple of weeks. Well, comparatively speaking. On the 22nd I went to my last day of casual work at my mums work, and then that evening we went up North for the weekend, with my homestay student. Then it was Christmas eve and I was running around frantically trying to sort out presents and all that. Then of course was Christmas day. I know right, Christmas just snuck up on us this year or something, like wtf. And then it was all over, just as quickly as it appeared. The day after Christmas is called Boxing Day here, and it's a day when pretty much every store has some kind of sale, and the entire nation goes shopping. It's fucking awful and I highly suggest that if you are ever in New Zealand on the 26th of December that you avoid malls at all costs. This day also happened to be my students birthday, and last full day in NZ, after being here for two years, and living with my family for almost a year. So went out in the morning and surprised her with cake and presents, and then in the afternoon we took a spontaneous trip to Rainbow's End, "New Zealand's Premier theme park"~ Meaning, our ONLY theme park. And it kind of really sucks. It was raining on and off that day, but it was still super fun. I can't think of a better way to have spent the day. It was really empty, because of Boxing Day most people were out shopping, so we never had to queue for anything. I stayed up that night with my student, as we were leaving for the airport at 5.30 am the next morning, and neither of us wanted to sleep. We just hung out and listened to music together for the last time, and watched Adventure Time. Then at around 3am it started to hit home that she was really leaving, and by the time we were all in the car at 5.30, we were a bawling mess. We met up with her sister and her homestay family at the airport, ate breakfast together, and then we had to say goodbye. I can honestly say that I have NEVER cried so much in my life as much as I did that day. Hugging them and saying goodbye was one of the hardest things I've ever had to do.  Because she wasn't just an exchange student, she was one of my best friends, a part of my family. They both are still. Coming home without her felt so wrong. It still feels weird not having her around, even though it's been a week since she left. I just crawled into bed and cried until I fell asleep. I don't really know what else happened that day. I feel so lonely without her, and the only thought that is keeping me sane is that in a years time I'll be going to visit her in Japan. Well, that's the plan anyway. And I'm going to fight to make it happen. Anyway, the next day I really needed to get out of the house, so I just went some places with my mum. Random places, like a photo printing place and a furniture store. Anything to take my mind of it. Then it seems that the next couple of days were filled with furniture shopping. Seriously, I went furniture shopping for three days in a row. It was nuts. Then all of a sudden it was new years day, hello 2013 and all that. I never have understood the whole point of new years. Like, it's not really a big deal, so why turn it into one? It doesn't have any historical significance or anything, it's just an excuse for people to throw stupid parties and get hammered. I spent new years day at my Grandma's house, and I'm not usually one for talking about nice weather, but damn it was a beautiful day. And so that brings us to today, right now, writing this post. And I am so tired. Of everything. People in my family in particular, I just can't be fucked dealing with any of them to be honest. I've spent way too much time with them lately...

I actually shut myself in my room last night, not talking to anyone, and just sat listening to music and reading various yaoi (mostly of the smutty kind) for about five hours. Ehhh yaoi is so addicting and absorbing. It's hard to stop once you've started. I can't actually tell you the names of the series, because I read on Mangago, when I finish a series it comes up with a whole bunch of suggestions and I click on heaps and the cycle repeats and in the end I've forgotten what the first one I read was called. Plus, I read using Incognito mode on Chrome, so it's not saved to my history. Also, I'm not particularly bothered to remember the names. Most of the series I read are just one-shots or really short, so it's not worth remembering them, as I'll probably never reread them. If it's a series that I really like, that actually has some depth and isn't pure one-shot smut, then I'll take a note of it down somewhere. Not that I have anything against smut. I love smut. It's just unlikely that I'll read a one-shot again, you know? I could read Finder and Koisuru Boukun over and over again though. Well, the chapters that have been released so far, anyway. Speaking of released chapters, WTF WAS UP WITH THE LATEST CHAPTER OF FINDER?! We waited that long for a fucking 15-page story with no actual fucking? I was pissed. But then, I love the series and Yamane's work, so a slow, small chapter is better than no chapter.

And that's all I have to say. For now. I guess. Next post will probably just be a photo spam of what I did in the last month of 2012. Yaaaaay~

Fun With Migration Assistant~

HAHAHAHAHAHA. HAHA. HA. So this blogging thing. I really suck at it, huh. I was pretty alright for a couple of months there, but then what. Oh well, on with the show!

I really want to blog more often, though, because I absolutely love typing on my Macbook. I love it. The keys are so nice and not too loud and ahhh. It's really satisfying to type on this keyboard, ok. Of course, I love my Macbook in general. It's my baby! However, that's not to say there haven't been a couple of lows... unfortunately. In the few weeks I've had my baby I've learnt a few things. The first being; no matter how old or new your system is, you are guaranteed to spend more time fixing glitches, crying and pulling you hair out over The Sims 3 than actually playing the damn game. That's a fault of the Sims, more specifically EA, not my Macbook. Secondly, I'm not actually a huge fan of the organisation of files and such on the Macbook. Awkward, because the ease and tidiness of organisation was a pull factor towards Mac for me. I don't know how to explain it, exactly, it's just different than my desktop Mac computer, which is much older so that probably has something to do with it. It just doesn't appear as tidy and straight-forward on my Macbook. I really don't like how when you open Finder is opens with 'All My Files'. I don't want to see all my files at once. I want to see nice, alphabetically ordered folder icons with Music, Documents, Downloads and so on. Again, that probably isn't a fault on Apple's behalf, I guess it's more of my anal attitude towards things being organized and organizing my junk. [UPDATE] Ok just ignore that last problem, I figured out how to get things the way I want them. I love it now. Another kind of annoying thing is that I haven't figured out a way to get my photos of my iPod onto my laptop. Now, again, that may just be a fault on my behalf, but it certainly isn't as easy as it is on a PC. And I'm not the only one with this issue. It is quite a big issue for me, because I take almost all my photos on my iPod, and I want to upload them to places, like here or my Facebook. [UPDATE] Also ignore this problem, I know how to do it easily now. So basically, just ignore this entire paragraph lolol.

The most important, and pressing thing I've discovered though is when you set up your Macbook for the first time, and you are given the choice to use Migration Assistant then or do it later once you're set up, DO IT STRAIGHT AWAY, DO NOT CONTINUE SET UP UNTIL IT'S DONE. It can lead to a lot of issues if you chose to do it later. Me being completely impatient, I decided that I would just do it later. Because when it gives you the option in set up, it doesn't outline that if you chose to migrate after set up, it could cause some annoying problems. It really should say, while you can do it later it is highly recommended that you do so now. Unfortunately, I learned the hard way. So when I got around to migrating all my junk from my PC to my Macbook a couple of weeks after getting it, everything seemed to be going smoothly. My first choice was to use an external drive, but for some reason my external drive wouldn't register on my PC. So I chose to do it through wireless network. So yeah, that all worked and it took a few hours. But then when I went to try and find my files on my Macbook, they were nowhere to be seen. I googled it and found out that using Migration Assistant AFTER set up, will often mean that it will create a new user on your Macbook. In short, rather than just transferring your chosen data from one computer, it transfers your account. Sort of. So I ended up with this unwanted user on my Macbook, and the worst thing was that it was locked by a password, that I was unaware of. I tried everything to get into the account and get my stuff, but no matter what people suggested it wouldn't work. Yeah, changing the password in System Preferences didn't work. In the end, after some playing around, I found a way to unlock and access the file folders in that user from my actual user, and I transferred all the files into my account and deleted the unwanted user. I thought my problems were over there, but nope. That would be too simple. While the problem I'm experiencing now isn't exactly a huge issue, it's annoying nonetheless. I had all my images arranged into folders (e.g I had an LM.C folder, and SuG folder, a Golden Bomber folder etc.), and luckily they still existed after the transfer, but now whenever I want to put new images in those folders, I have to 'authorize' or 'authenticate' or whatever it is, byt typing in my password. EVERY. FUCKING. TIME. It's getting really, really tiresome, because I'm always finding new images and such. Also, it took ALL of my music out of it's similarly arranged folders, so I was left with 3000+ individual songs to arrange back into albums/artists and whatever.

So I resolved to just delete everything that I transferred using Migration Assistant, and re-transfer it all again, the manual way. I borrowed my dad's external device thing, which has tonnes of space. It all worked just fine, and even took less time than Migration Assistant, which was surprising. So I would say just do it the manual way. It's much easier and less stressful.

Oh, sorry, this just turned into one big, rambly technology post. My bad. Um. I'll post again within the next couple of days with some of what's been going on in my life. Don't get too excited, it really isn't that interesting. And there isn't very much of it. Derpderp social vegetable okay.

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~

Now Playing - A Blueberry Night by LM.C 

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. 

That's all I want to say, so without further ado, here it is! Enjoy!
