So I ended up not going to the Adam thing, even though I woke up on time, because I was just too dead tired to get out of bed. D= Luckily there's already video clips of the show so I'll probably watch them when I get home. My flight is at noon so I need to get going. XD"

*Facepalm a la icon*

So now his AMA performance was apparently so OMGCONTROVERSIAL that ABC had to CANCEL his performance that was supposed to be on Good Morning America tomorrow? FAIL. >_>

I was seriously considering going to see it too, even though my flight back home to Miami for the Thanksgiving holiday is tomorrow at noon. XD"

Luckily, CBS stepped in and he'll be performing on The Early Show tomorrow instead. I'll see if I have enough time to check that out. XD"

As for my thesis class, he still hates my work and doesn't think I'm improving at all, wtf, but at least he gave me some constructive advice today and not just insults, so that's something, coming from him. XD"

Just realized I somehow forgot to mention in my concert reports that when Toshiya threw his towel into the audience on Wednesday, basically half the people in the pit were tackling each other trying to get it. It amused me. XD

So you may have heard about the supposed "controversy" generated by Adam Lambert's performance at last night's AMA awards. Personally I thought it was awesome, and didn't think it was any more risque than anything seen in Visual Kei performances, or even from other pop stars here (ie the Britney Spears and Madonna stage kiss way back when). I see how some people could be offended, but honestly, America needs to lighten up. =P

Video of the performance here btw. Why certain lyrics are censored out seemingly at random I have no idea. D= Like for instance, there's one line "take the pain, take the pleasure, I'm the master of both", the word "pleasure" is bleeped out, wtf.

Finally uploaded pics from the Diru concerts~! =DDD

They're on my Facebook page. XD

Wednesday
Friday
Saturday

Enjoy. =D

Finished my birthday drawing for Yoshiki. =D You can see it here. <3 Sent it to him on his Myspace page, too. Here's hoping he's able to see it, and that he likes it. XD"

Also, here is a picspam of the awesome thing I mentioned in my last post:

( Click to see what it is! )

Edit: Removed the first pic since it has my full name and address in it, oops. XD"

HAPPY BIRTHDAY YOSHIKI~! =DDD

<33333

I finally did manage to get a burst of inspiration last night and drew an Art Noveau-style sketch of Yoshiki. =D Just need to color it and send him a Myspace comment with it and hope he sees it. XD"

Also, I got something awesome yesterday, but I will make a separate post about that. XD

And now for my report of Saturday's show. =D Wednesday's and Friday's shows are here and here, in case you missed them. XD"

Okay, so this was the only day I didn't spend several hours in line since the line was already really long right after Friday's show, so instead I went to a Ball Joint Doll meet-up in the afternoon with my friend Noni. XD" On the way over there, I was going to point out to her the street where I saw Dir en grey cross to get to their van the other day, but before I could say anything, I noticed Toshiya and Shinya were actually crossing that street right then! Talk about perfect timing. XD

What wasn't perfect timing was finding out that the one day I'm not out in line for several hours is the one day Kyo shows up to give tea to everyone. XD" Lucky, lucky people who were there are LUCKY. I'm still glad to hear he did that, though. Especially since pinkspider, shinyas_pet, and I were joking about how he should give hot chocolate to everyone in line like Yoshiki did at the Jrock Revolution Festival. Tea still counts though. XD

I finally got in line around 5:00-ish. Even though that was still early by normal standards, I felt like I was running late somehow. XD"

Shortly before pinkspider, shinyas_pet, and I got into the venue, some guy walked past and said "Yay, it's Dir en GAY!". To which I responded "Fuck you". =_= I hate when people use the word "gay" in a negative context. Plus he wouldn't be stupid enough to say that if he actually saw a concert of theirs. =P

I was planning on going to the seated section since I figured it was too late to get a good spot in the pit, but when I got into the venue, there were only, like, three rows of people up there so I was like "screw that" and ran over to the pit. XD I was in front of Kyo, and even though I wasn't on the rail I was still pretty darn close. =D

The opening band, Suicide City, was another good opening band. They had kind of a punk-rock sound, and they even did a cover of "Burn" by The Cure (yay The Crow soundtrack =D). The lead singer jumped into the crowd at one point, just slightly to the left from where I was standing. I'm glad he didn't jump on my friends pinkspider and shinyas_pet, since they're still recovering from the lead singer of The Human Abstract stagediving on them last year (no joke, they got some pretty bad injuries from that guy D=). The bassist reminded us of what Miyavi would be like if he were a white girl. XD We also found out later that she used to be in a band called Kitty.

After them, it was time for more Diru awesomeness. Here's the setlist (once again yoinked from 6cubed):

SA BIR
OBSCURE
Merciless Cult
RED SOIL
STUCK MAN
Agitated Screams of Maggots
REPETITION OF HATRED
THE DEEPER VILENESS
-voice-
BUGABOO
蜷局 (Toguro)

INCONVENIENT IDEAL

DOZING GREEN
冷血なりせば (Reiketsu Nariseba)

ENCORE
AMBER
鼓動 (Kodou)
Ugly
凱歌、沈黙が眠る頃 (Gaika, Chinmoku ga Nemuru Koro)

At the very beginning of the show, I heard this fangirl behind me shout, in the most awful voice I've ever heard, "KYO I WANT YOUR BABIES!!!". Which of course prompted me to turn around and yell at her to STFU. >_> Besides, Kyo doesn't have any babies. =P No, but seriously, don't EVER yell that at Kyo (or anyone for that matter), especially with a voice like that. Ugh.

Also, there was this freakishly tall guy who pinkspider sort of talked to before the show saying how he could protect us because he was tall, but he turned out to be a total asshole. If anything, we should have been protected from him. Because of that guy, several people had to be pulled out of the pit, including shinyas_pet and one of pinkspider's guy friends who has been to over 100 concerts, about half of which were Dir en grey (he later said that this and last year's Terminal 5 show were his worst audience experiences).

At one point the freakishly tall guy (who I'll be calling FTG from now on XD") was in front of me somehow, and I couldn't see. Kyo happened to be unbuttoning his shirt around this time too. So I kind of pulled at FTG's neck to try to get him to move out of the way. XD" I also hit him a few times when I saw him jumping around and hurting people. When I found out later that he had been the reason shinyas_pet was pulled out of the pit, I had no regrets whatsoever. =P

The pit overall was much more aggressive than the previous two nights, but still not as insane as Terminal 5 at least. Plus since Blender Theater was basically home turf for me, I wasn't going to let anyone make me have to leave the pit. XD" I did manage to get away from FTG at least, though.

And despite all the craziness with the audience, I do think this was probably the best show Diru did here. All of them were awesome, but especially this one. I think namely because they all seemed very happy and energetic, especially near the end. Hell, Kyo smiled several times during Ugly. And it wasn't just smirking or something either, it was genuine, showing-teeth smiling. =D And remember, this is KYO we're talking about. So yeah, awesomeness. Heck, all sorts of awesome stuff happened in the encore. Toshiya stood up on Kyo's platform at one point during Ugly, the members kept switching sides on the stage, Kyo spit water at the audience several times, and again, everyone was just super happy for some reason. XD Oh, and Kyo also seemed to get closer to the audience than usual near the end. =D

Also, at several points in the show, Kyo motioned with his hands to say "I CAN'T HEAR YOU" to make us all cheer louder even though I felt like I was already screaming at the top of my lungs every time he did that, lol. XD"

But yeah, great show, great energy, and just all-around, indescribable awesomeness. pinkspider later said that this wasn't a New York show, this was a Japan show. =D

Afterwards I made a quick run to the bathroom to wash my face and try not to look completely messy before going to the signing. Today it was Die and Shinya. Oh yeah, forgot to mention that one of my friends from school wanted me to get his friend's copy of Uroboros signed. XD" Which in a way was good because I would have felt a bit awkward handing them my DVD, since it was already signed by Toshiya and Kaoru, unless it was a group signing where all of the members showed up, which it wasn't. XD" It did make me kinda sad to know I couldn't keep their autographs though, despite the fact that I got all of the members' signatures on my copy of Uroboros last year at Terminal 5. XD"

Anyway, like I did at the signing with Kaoru and Toshiya on Friday, I greeted Die and Shinya with "Konban wa" and then said "Hontou ni, arigatou gozaimasu" after they signed the CD. Die actually said "Konban wa" back when I greeted him. =D So that makes two members of Diru who have actually spoken to me now, yay (the other time was last year when Toshiya said "Why, thank you!" after I gave him a drawing I made for him). XD

After the show, I wanted to wait outside and see if Kyo would show up so I could tell him "Hontou ni, arigatou gozaimasu" as well, since he was the only one I didn't get to say it to yet. XD" Shortly after I got outside, I did see Toshiya, and later Kaoru, and then Die and Shinya. It occurred to me later that maybe Kyo left before them, and according to another report I read later, that was the case. XD" Oh well, it was still nice getting to see everyone else. =D I said "Oyasumi nasai" to each of them as they headed for the bus. pinkspider told me later that it would have been better to say "Konban wa" again, because "Konban wa" means both "Good evening" and "Good night". Also, "Oyasumi nasai" implies immediacy. XD"

So once the bus drove away, I headed back to my dorm building (I love living across the street from the venue, lol), and pinkspider and shinyas_pet stayed over. We basically chilled out all day Sunday (and did laundry XD") until it was time for me to take them back to Penn Station to catch their bus that night. Good to see you guys. <3

So yeah, I guess this goes without saying, but seeing Diru again was awesome, definitely my best experience yet. I miss them already, and I'm looking forward to seeing them again next year, or whenever they happen to come back here. <33

Whut.

See icon.

Uh, are they not bothered by the fact that HE KILLED SOMEONE? Plus that guy looks freaking scary, with or without plastic surgery.

Here's the pics btw:


(The one on the right is him after getting plastic surgery)

This is also pretty effed up. Who decided this would make a good children's book? >_>

This is the most hilarious thing ever:

Time for part 2 (of 3) of my Dir en grey reports (part 1 here). ^^

So for Friday's show, I decided to camp out overnight because I wanted to be on the rail this time and felt like the only way I'd deserve it was if I camped out. XD" I got in line at around 7 PM on Thursday, which was 24 hours before doors were going to open. XD I also got my hair done before getting in line (it's been dyed dark red again, yay =D).

It was insanely cold out, even though I was wearing several layers and had brought my sleeping bag outside. But it was worth it for many reasons. The main one being that I saw the band members walking around several times while waiting in line. =DDD Not all at once though. Except once on Friday afternoon-ish when pinkspider, shinyas_pet, and I saw them crossing the street to get to a black van with tinted windows. I'm assuming based on their blog that they were on their way to that photoshoot in Brooklyn. ^^

But yeah, since I live across the street from the venue, Dir en grey walking around that general area for several days is basically the equivalent of them camping out in my backyard. XD Not to mention the van they were in was parked only a few feet away from the entrance to my dorm building! Needless to say that made my life. <3

As for other sightings, at one point pinkspider and shinyas_pet spotted Toshiya, but I missed him somehow and got kind of cranky about that. XD" But I saw him later so that made up for it. I also saw Kaoru and Die walk past our spot in line at different points in the day. When I saw Die I was in the middle of talking to shinyas_pet about Spongebob (a certain episode of it reminded me of some things that had happened in the last few days XD"), so I kind of trailed off when I saw Die there all of a sudden, lol. And Kyo was crossing the street on Thursday night and tried hiding his face while passing the line. He looked uncomfortable, poor guy. Kyo also passed by the line at one point on Friday morning (and of course this was the only point I wasn't in line because I had a class to attend XD"), and pinkspider said he was wearing an oversized baseball cap. XD

Anyway, a lot more people were asking about the line, and one of them at some point (it might have even been before Wednesday's show actually), after pinkspider, shinyas_pet, and I said to her that we were camping out for the Diru concert, said something like "So are you guys gonna fuck the band after the show or something?". Which I thought was not only a disrespectful thing to say, but a very rude way to ask it. >_> And what's with her attitude that apparently the only thing worth waiting in line that long for is sex? Did she stop to think that maybe we were there because Diru happens to be awesomely talented and we love them and their music (and okay, yes, they're hot too, but that's beside the point)? And for the record, no, we were not there to "fuck the band". =P [/mini-rant]

Along with woman-who-thought-we-were-groupies, there were several people thought we were homeless. One guy even went into the Duane Reade and bought us snacks. XD" And speaking of homeless people, at one point pinkspider, shinyas_pet, and I met an actual homeless man in a wheelchair. He was pretty friendly, and we ended up buying him some Korean-style ramen from the Yogurt Yogurt. ^^

Okay, I should start talking about the actual concert stuff now. XD"

So the other main reason it was worth waiting in line for the better part of 24 hours was because I got a spot at the rail, and was able to keep it this time! =DDD I had to scoot over to make room for someone again, but this time it was someone I knew. Her name's Jamie, and I'd met her at the Juno Reactor Kinokuniya event last year. =D Also, we were both on Die's side.

So I had high expectations for the opening band since Goes Cube were really good, and they'd said they were friends with the band that would be playing tonight. But the band, Hull, weren't that great honestly. D= They played, like, two 20-minute songs. Not that 20-minute songs are always a bad thing (I <3 Art of Life by X Japan, which is about 30 minutes long), but this just seemed to drag on. D=

Then it was finally time for Diru. <3 Here's the setlist (from 6cubed:
SA BIR
INCONVENIENT IDEAL
VINUSHKA
BUGABOO
RED SOIL
LIE BURIED WITH A VENGEANCE
STUCK MAN
OBSCURE
-voice-
慟哭と去りぬ (Doukoku to Sarinu)

AGITATED SCREAMS OF MAGGOTS

ENCORE
Bottom of the Death Valley
THE FINAL
鬼眼 -kigan-
凱歌、沈黙が眠る頃 (Gaika, Chinmoku ga Nemuru Koro)

Bottom of the Death Valley and Kigan are also songs I love but never thought I'd get to hear live, so I'm super glad I was able to be on the rail for those. XD I was glad to be on the rail period, but especially when they played those. Also, being right in front of Die made me appreciate his awesome guitar riffs even more than I already did. =D Especially during Kigan. Not to mention that being right in front of him meant we made eye contact several times that night. XD

Near the end, Die climbed onto this platform that was closer to us than the stage was, but I still couldn't reach him. XD" I did get splashed with water from his water bottle though. =D Jamie actually was able to get the bottle from Die's hands! Luckyyyy.

Oh, and I saw Kyo smile at one point. =D

After the show, there was a signing, which was being held in the concert room instead of the merch room. I had my copy of Average Blasphemy this time, so I was able to go. =D The signing was with Kaoru and Toshiya. When I was next in line, Kaoru was signing something for someone, but Toshiya was available, so I went to him first. After Toshiya signed it, the security guard tried to make me move out of the line even though I hadn't seen Kaoru yet. D= I guess he either assumed I'd seen Kaoru already or that I was avoiding him (I hope Kaoru didn't think the latter at any point XD") Luckily I was able to get back to Kaoru and get his autograph too. ^^ Oh yeah, and I said "Konban wa!" to each of them to greet them, then "Hontou ni, arigatou gozaimasu!" after they signed the DVD. XD

When I got outside, the line for Saturday was already around the block, so pinkspider, shinyas_pet, and I decided we weren't going to camp out again. I headed back to my dorm to get a full night's rest. XD

So since I'm out sick from class today I figured now would be a good time to post a concert report for Wednesday's Dir en grey show. I'll write and post the ones for Friday and Saturday some time this week. XD" For now I've taken a bunch of notes for the reports so I don't forget anything. XD

Anyway, I spent a lot of time with pinkspider and shinyas_pet, which was awesome as always. <3 Got to see khaoskinema304 again too. =D

I spent most of the day on Wednesday waiting in line with them, even though I live across the street from the venue. XD People kept asking why all of us were lined up outside, and we had to explain, like, 100000000x that we were there to see Dir en grey and we wanted to be up front. It got to the point where I felt like we deserved a dollar every time we had to answer questions. XD"

The doors opened at 7, and I managed to run in and get a spot on the rail right in front of where Kyo was going to be! I practically tackled the rail too, lol. XD But sadly it wasn't meant to be; while trying to help a girl with green hair get onto the rail since she had camped out two nights for it, I somehow ended up getting pushed back, and there was no space to let me back in. ;__; In a way this turned out to be a good thing, but more about that later (though you're probably wondering "How the heck can being pushed off the rail when you had a spot in front of KYO be a good thing?!" XD").

I was still able to stay pretty close to the front, though. I moved to the left trying to see if I could get a spot next to pinkspider and shinyas_pet, but they'd already saved a spot for one of their other friends. XD" So I was in about the equivalent of 3rd or fourth row, somewhere between Kyo and Toshiya.

Anyway, the opening band, Goes Cube, was actually really good! =D More about them later, too. XD

And I guess it goes without saying that Dir en grey were famazing. <3 They had lots of energy and the set list kicked ass (setlist from mrssleazoid btw):

ENCORE

01. アクロの丘 (Akuro no Oka)
02. THE FINAL
03. Schweinの椅子 (Schwein no Isu)
04. 凱歌、沈黙が眠る頃 (Gaika)

Like I said in a recent entry on here, AKURO NO OKA AND SCHWEIN NO ISU FUCK YESSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!! I'm so happy I was able to hear those songs live. It took me a minute to realize they were playing Akuro no Oka, only because I was completely not expecting to ever hear it live. XD When I did realize it I flipped the heck out though. I probably flipped out even more for Schwein no Isu, because that's one of my favorite older songs by them, but I never even mentioned to anyone how much I wanted to hear it live because I didn't think it would be possible for me to hear it. Well, I guess Wednesday night proved that anything is possible. =DDD NOW PLAY MACABRE PLZKTHNX. *shot*

So to cap off a perfect show, the members threw stuff into the audience like always. But this time things were different; for the first time, I actually caught something. Namely TOSHIYA'S BASS PICK~! =DDD I caught it in the air with both hands, and was holding it a bit loosely at first because I didn't think I was actually going to catch it, but then I noticed fangirls scratching at my hands trying to get it from me, and I held the pick more tightly and turned around to say "It's MINE!". XD" But yeah, remember how I said there was a positive side to getting pushed off of the rail? This was it; I don't think I would have caught the pick if I'd been where I was before the show started. XD"

The only problem was after the show. Okay, so there was the signing with the whole band, which I really wanted to go to, but the venue made up a stupid, apparently-last-minute rule that you had to have either a copy of Uroboros or Average Blasphemy. And that it was too late to buy it now because the signing had already started. D= Worst part is the staff members blamed the band for this decision, WTF.

I was lucky enough to see the band leaving the room at least. I couldn't get too close because the guards wouldn't let me pass, so I was standing on the stair, but from where I was I said something along the lines of "Hontou ni, arigatou gozaimasu, minna-san!". Toshiya left a few seconds after the other members, which gave me the chance to wave the bass pick and hope he would notice that I caught it and was trying to thank him for it. XD

After that, I went ahead and bought a copy of Average Blasphemy, just in case there would be more signings (though I already knew Wednesday's was the only signing with the whole band). Luckily, I've met all the members before at other shows, so I wasn't as upset as I would have been if I hadn't met them before, but I did feel upset for the fans who were looking forward to meeting them for the first time (like shinyas_pet), but didn't get the chance because of that dumb rule. D= pinkspider did have the Uroboros booklet with her though, so at least she got to meet them. <3

And now more about the opening band. XD So even though I didn't get to see Diru after the show, I did get to meet the opening band and tell them I thought they did a great job, and that I would seriously see them if they were to tour on their own. They were really friendly and awesome, and they all signed my copy of their CD that I bought. ^^ The bassist even helped me open the plastic packaging. XD

So yeah, other than not being able to go to the signing, it was a perfect night. <3 Also, forgot to mention that Wednesday's audience was fantastic! They weren't overly aggressive or fangirly, and they even stayed quiet during Kyo's solos and the slow songs! =D So kudos to you guys. ^_^

And again, I'll post my Friday and Saturday reports soon. And some photos once I can upload them (I need to borrow my friend's computer for that since I lost my camera cable and only she knows how to upload them without it). XD"

I'll post a full report later, but this basically sums up last night's Diru concert:



Also, AKURO NO OKA AND SCHWEIN NO ISU FUCK YESSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!

Updated my default icon so it looks a bit more like how I look atm. XD My hair's longer and less reddish than it was when I had that other icon, though as I said a few entries back I planned on fixing that, but then changed my mind. XD" I might do it after the concerts though, we'll see. Also, I should probably draw my own icon like I used to next time instead of using that manga.com face generator thingy. XD"

Anyway, speaking of the concerts, already the line for tomorrow's show is getting kinda long. o.o But I still have one more class to go to tonight. ;_; Luckily my friends are already there and they said they can save me a spot as long as I go right there after class. ^^ Now I just need to figure out what to wear, and whether I should pick an outfit now or wear what I'm wearing and then go back to my dorm room for a bit to change at some point tomorrow morning. XD"

Nothing new, but still awful- some idiot killed an abortion doctor to protect UNBORN BABIES. That's like saying "I'm gonna kill this guy because he's threatening my imaginary friends!". =_= Also, if someone claims to be "Pro-life" then you would think he'd realize that KILLING SOMEONE goes against that terminology.

I think Family Guy put it best (or maybe it was on American Dad) when a Republican character said "We want to kill everyone except babies!". Sad but true.

Speaking of abortions, while on one hand there's the good news that a health care reform bill that includes a strong public option has passed in the House, the bad news is that it also has a strong anti-abortion segment attached to it. WTF, when did this happen? Also, who decided that the government, which is primarily made up of men by the way, had any right to decide what women can do with their bodies? >_> Noni showed me a book which brought up a good point about how "Republicans do support women having the right to choose what to do with their bodies; plastic surgery, implants, liposuction...". That's not the exact quote but you get the idea. XD"

On a more positive note, only two days until I get to see Diru again, pinkspider and shinyas_pet are here, and I met hydra_666 today. =D

Now back to my homework- I basically have to do most of it today and tomorrow. XD"

Even though I don't really listen to her music, I have to admit Taylor Swift is an awesome person. XD This video shows why.

Edit: Also, just found this clip-

( Probably the best Twilight parody I've seen, and that's saying something. Also starring Taylor Swift. )

I've been on a nostalgia kick. XD First with old computer games thanks to uranus_sama, then with funny internet videos I used to watch in middle school/high school.

Okay, so some of the old computer games I used to play (and in some cases I mean really old, like, MS DOS old), were the "Super Solvers" series, namely Treasure Mountain, Treasure Mathstorm, Treasure Cove, and Treasure Galaxy. I found an emulator to let me play Treasure Mountain again yesterday, and I beat it in, like, four seconds. XDXD I think it's supposed to get harder every time you beat it, though. And they have that ranking system thing.

There was also the Mighty Math series. I had a bunch of games from that. XD Some of the earlier ones had mostly animal characters, while later ones had superheroes. And all of them taught math. All of the ones I had were for elementary school, but they also had a few for middle school.

And the other educational one I remember pretty clearly was Millie's Math House. I think I had at least one other game from that series too, but I definitely had the math house. Lol I never realized until now how many math games I had. XD" Yet I still suck at math. D= Then again this was all, like, the reeeeally basic stuff, which I am good at, so that might explain that? XD

There's a bunch of games where I can remember certain things about how they looked, but not what the games were called. D= Like there was one that I always associated with the Putt-Putt games, except the characters were fish instead of a talking car. Anyone know what I'm talking about? XD"

Oh yeah, and I also remember a Mario game that taught you how to type, which I think was just called "Mario Teaches Typing". XD And I had another Mario game where you could play stuff like Solitaire and Backgammon with Mario.

And then there was some Sailor Moon game I had, as well as some Barbie games (including a makeover one and one that had something to do with Rapunzel). XD"

And DX Ball was one of my favorites, and still is. =D

Feel free to share any computer games from the 90's you might remember, btw. Especially if it helps me remember more of them. XD

As for the internet videos, I managed to find all of them again, and while some weren't as funny as I remembered I still thought I'd share:

We Like The Moon- Remember those Quizno's commercials with the singing mice/gerbil/whatever-they-were things? Yeah, this is where that came from, and I knew about it waaaaay before Quizno's got a hold of them. XD Love the randomness of the song lyrics.

Gay Bar"- A cute animation to Electric Six's song "Gay Bar". With a flying dog and viking kittens. =D

The Fifth Avocado- Now this one will never get old for me. XD Classic.

Arfenhouse- Okay, so most of this is kinda silly/stupid in retrospect, but some parts are really funny. XD There's also a sequel, which I think is actually even funnier than the original. Love the Excel Saga parody at the beginning. XD LAWSUIT.

How to Kill a Mockingbird- Another one that's not quite as funny as I remember it, but it does have its moments. XD Also, it's a bit long, just to warn you guys. XD"

Legendary Frog- Bunches and bunches of awesome. Especially their LOTR, Matrix, and Final Fantasy parodies.

I'm hoping to go get my hair done tomorrow- I need a trim (or maybe even some more layers), my bangs are getting kind of long, and I haven't done any touch-ups to my red hair dye since I first got it done back in, like, January. XD" Luckily the red is close enough to my natural color that getting it re-touched wasn't urgent, but I still would love for my hair to be more red again. XD

Okay, so I went on Facebook and saw this:

( Cut for size )
The picture he posted is awesome enough, but look at the sidebar! =D

And of course that gave me the crazy idea to do this:

( Cut because it won't make sense until you see the other pic XD )

Also, DO WANT OMG. O_O I have all the CDs there already (though it turns out my copy of Eternal Melody II was bootlegged and it got ruined after I dropped it by accident, so I could use a new one), but I'd buy everything else there. XD

Here is a video of various people, including Yoshiki and Julia Voth (the girl Yoshiki was rumored to be dating, and one of my friends told me they were/are), being interviewed at the Astroboy premiere in LA.

Best part? Yoshiki says at one point in the video that as soon as his neck heals he's going to start the world tour again!

=DDDDDDDDDDDDDD

I mean, I kind of figured that was the case, but it's nice to hear official confirmation. XD
