57. What are you listening to right NOW?
Gothika - Alexa

58. Do you wear band etc T-shirts?
I own /one/ band t-shirt and that's actually a girl-tee. But then, I'm not that kind of person.

59. What do you think of people who do?
I have mixed feelings about them. Some manage to pull it off. Others leave me with the doubt that they ever actually /heard/ of the band whose name they're sporting between their nipples. TP looks hot in them just because.

63. If so, what? If not, why not?
My limited repertoire: Radiohead - Creep; Pink Floyd - Wish you were here; Saliva - Always; Evans Blue - Cold. Owari da... v.v

64. Would you rather marry a musician or be one yourself?
Marry, marry, married fairy princess :))

65. What is in your walkman/discman right now?

- two Versailles albums
- a bit of 30 secs to mars
- a bit of evans blue
- a bit of audioslave
- a bit of A perfect circle
- a bit of Butterfly Boucher
- a bit of Sigur Ros
- one Gothika album
- and some random songs that caught my fancy and that I can't be buggered to remember right now

66. How important is your partners taste in music to you?
Sadly, very. Though for the last 4 years, I've gotten used to howling at starlight :)) Seriosuly - I do judge people by the music they listen to, as well as by their power and willingness to try new things. I agree that everyone is entitled to have their own taste in music, as in every other aspect of their lives. This, however, does not mean that I am not wired to turn my nose up at someone who listens to what I designate as "crap".

67. Hanson moves in next door to you, do you go introduce yourself, or do you arrange to beat them up?
Seek and.... SEEK AND DESTROY!

68. Sex, Drugs and Rock n Roll, you dig?
Bring me my shovel!

69. Do you cook to music?
I would, if I cooked. I will, one day >.<

70. Do you sing in the toilet?
Um... WTF?! I may be persuaded to hum a bit while doing my make-up. Otherwise... gross!

Comparative analysis of insanity, really

I have yet to summon enough interest in the subject to write about finishing school, 16 years of my life over with next to nothing to show for it... but I have become me in these years. Yesterday marked 4 years with TP, four years of bliss. Have yet to write about that as well. In fact, I fail to remember how many posts I have started in my head these past days, and have forgotten by the time I get in front of the computer. Oh well.

What I actually wanted to write about is that I have floated from obsession to obsession until I got back to Gakuen Alice. Finished watching the anime in a couple of days, and am now reading the manga. Drat and bebother those 11 chapters for missing. I mean, a whole /volume/ is missing. Thankfully, at least, later volumes are complete. I don't get the whole "there is no volume 5 /anywhere/ on the net" thing though :| This post will be silly, and apparently pointless, because I'm tired and I'm only writing this to remember these things later, really.

So:
- up until the Festival, m!Natsume is a lot colder to Mikan than a!Natsume
- m!Natsume has a more varied range of facial expressions than a!Natsume - managing even to look like a kid at some point in the beginning. Which is profoundly refreshing
- the anime is true to the manga, but kinda botched up the dodgeball episode - the a!version was a lot more loaded with meaning than the m!version - which, for me, is canon
- m!Ruka has become Mikan's friend faster
- m!Ruka has /depth!/ *is surprised but delighted*
- m!Tsubasa is wiser and more helpful, and less of a show-off-dweeb
- there was nothing, and I mean /nothing/ in the anime about Mikan being aware that she was targeted, or that the Academy was targeting her (as opposed to her getting into trouble because of her own loud mouth, and not a conspiracy)
- m!Jinno is hateable
- m!Naru is... different, but I can't put my finger on it
- m!Natsume's speech about "people the Academy targets, like me and you [Mikan]" put hair on my chest... metaphorically. I have yet to find a word for that thing that happens to me physiologically when I get wrapped up in a dream world like this one. *shrug*

Bits that are missing:
- the festival play - I wanted to see m!Natsume's reaction to seeing Mikan almost kiss Ruka. /If/ that ever happened in the manga, of course
- the dance - again, I wanted to see the talk those two have, and the moment when Hotaru chooses Mikan for the last dance
- Bear's maker being out of the hospital - just out of curiosity, to see if anything was different. And maybe gain some insight into Tsubasa's character. And see if m!Mikan makes the parallel between that guy and Natsume. But so far Mikan is the most similar (manga vs. anime), so I should think she does.
- and now Tachibana-sensei is teasing us with 15-year-old versions of the characters. Gaaaaaaah! :))
- completely unrelated: I will forever worship this manga if it manages to tell me more about Mikan's mother (I know that it eventually will, but I'm afraid I'll lose interest before I actually get there. However, Gakuen Alice is on the same obsession par as Gravi, Loveless and Bleach for me, so fat chance there is of /that/ happening. *shudders*)



I'm done. Back to reading, now. I'll update this as I go along. Also, since I snuck a peek at the latest chapter and got to see what I strongly believe is a Middle-School Hotaru, I have to say I have fallen in love with her. She's hot, and I can't wait to actually get to that part. Of course, Middle-School!Natsume is so much smex, I can't comprehend it, but Hotaru's kinda getting to share the spot-light with him on this one.

(reads back that last paragraph. Realizes how very very pathetic she must sound. *shake head*)

Musical presents (thanks go to youtube, of course. Ignore the vids, they're fan-made and... well... yeah.)



Hyde - Prayer (this man's voice will be the death of me. I adore his 666 album so much I can't help myself *idiot grin*)

Hyde - Midnight Celebration (orgasmic. Good Engrish, too *is surprised*)

Versailles - Shouts&Bites


A (extensive) note about Versailles: I got attached to this band after realizing that it was the first (at that time) VK band that hadn't been around since last century, had split up and then reconfigured, and generally followed the truisms about JRock I wrote about in an earlier post.

Then my ears opened up and I actually /heard/ them. The vid I linked to is their PV, but it's oddly made and you won't get to see much of them. Don't bother with the images, though; listen. Listen to the power-metal riffs, so clean and unlike Jrock/pop/VK. Listen to the man's voice. Listen to the lyrics, if you speak Japanese *mumbles incoherently about the "Captain Planet" ending song.* Just give it a chance, and listen. I strongly suggest downloading samples of their work for a teaser/taste - they are my new addiction.

There. Done for the night. Shall be back soon, to review tomorrow's Metallica concert, and to drool some more. And maybe to even bother writing a decent, serious post. *cough*

SEVEN CELEBRITY CRUSHES

I could just fill in this section by listing all the Jrock singers with which I've been unreasonably infatuated lately, but that would make it uninteresting. Let's see if I remember from all the way back, in chonological order......

1. Alain Delon (do /not/ ask)
2. One of the dudes in Roswell
3. One of the singers of Luna Amara
4. One of the singers of Implant pentru Refuz

4. Tudor

.... and that's about it. The extent of my knowledge and love of people with blogs. (or without blogs, but who should definitely get one. Or several :)))

____________________________________________________________

The MONTH meme - in the words of Senpai: "bold /your/ month wile copying the whole text, and cross out what doesn't apply".

I took another approach to it. Mostly because my month (if you bother reading) is a /massive/ contradiction unto itself, as well as, at times, redundant. (Jeez, I feel "special" =))...).

Knows how to dig secrets. - are you kidding me? I can be so dense at times that I don't even notice there's anything there to dig for. Besides, am I a mole or something?! *does the Bartimaeus*
Always thinking. - again, as opposed to what human being?
Less talkative but amiable. - oddly enough, I'm beginning to get there. To the "less talkative", at least. Not to the "amiable", because I tend to wear my heart on my sleeve - if I don't like you, you'll get the memo fairly soon.
Brave and generous. - when it suits my mood. Or when I love the person
Patient. - in how many languages can /you/ say "Hell NO!"?
Stubborn and hard-hearted. - tihii, this is just like Senpai's. Stubborn, yes. Beyond belief. I turn it into a full-time occupation. Hard-hearted... what is that, exactly?
If there is a will, there is a way. - Good Gods and travelling cat spirits searching for statues (Inukami reference. You should give it a chance, for the anime equivalent of easy reading), this one is actually right! This is like my life philosophy. And I'm all the more unforgiving of people who act like that is not true, or that can't happen for them, or whatever. You are who you make yourself to be. What the fuck, man, how many chances on this Earth do you think you'll get?!
Determined. - yes. When I get something into my head, nothing, but /nothing/ stands in my way.
Never give up. - "we shall scratch them on teh sofas" =)). But, yeah.
Hardly becomes angry unless provoked. - bloody wrong! Or, ok, maybe right, but who's to say my "provocation" radar isn't as fucked-up as hell?
Loves to be alone. - perhaps the one thing I dread - being alone with myself is a hideous experience, I wouldn't wish it on anybody.
Thinks differently from others. - Thinks differently of what? Differently that what others? In what context?! Does it mean I think with some other organ? Use my haemoglobins instead of neurons? Spew thoughts out of my ears instead of my mouth? *is baffled*
Sharp-minded. - because I'm "Sharp thinking" (see above), right? O.o Redundant much?
Motivates oneself. - redundant with the "will and the way" thingie above. But true
Does not appreciate praises. - oh I /appreciate/ praise as much as the next puppy. BUT: only if I feel I deserve it. Only if it comes from someone I love or from someone that I have deemed objective/qualified to give me the praise. And I'm embarassed by it, because I don't know how to receive praise.
High-spirited. - well, yeah, sure, when I'm not depressed...
Well-built and tough. - :)) have you /seen/ me? Have you counted all the colds and other diseases I caught this year alone?! And well-built is what? 90-60-90? Oh, yeah, I /am/ that... *tries really hard to stifle laughter. Because she is stubborn and determined*
Deep love and emotions. - fuck yeah. Finally, something I can agree with. I don't have many people in my good books, but those I love are fucking sacred to me.
Romantic. - (jab aimed at my loving boyfriend:) daca as avea cu cine, sigur. Dar n-ai cu cine, frate... =)) I love you, tp.
Uncertain in relationships. - oh /yes/. In /any/ kind of relationship - romantic, friendship, even family ties. Because I can never know when you'll find someone better, nicer, sweeter, whatever, than me, and leave me alone. Tell me that doesn't always happen. Come on, I dare you. Tell me. Please?
Homely. - not in my current home. I could be, if I lived with tp... probably. But I get tired of routine relatively soon (comes with the territory, when you have a "dynamic personality" and all that jazz). On the other hand, that will be /our/ house, so I'll be able to regularly change stuff in it, so as not to get bored. Of course, the routine would stay the same. In the end we're all trapped in little cages of our own, and we're fooling ourselves into submission *brings out Anarchy t-shirt*
Hardworking. - sadly, yes.
High abilities. - I think my English is going rusty (talking about abilities, of course), because the only sense I can make of this sentence is synonimous with "Able to reach high places". Well, I am of average height - bordering - on - a millimeter - taller, so even that doesn't apply. But yes, I can use a stepping stool like no other *beams*
Trustworthy. - I suppose. If I want to be. Who am I going to tell, anyway?!
Honest and keeps secrets. - yes, honest up to the point where it hurts me by biting me on the ass. Keeping secrets = massive redundancy. Again.
Not able to control emotions. - Oh freaking hell yes. Simply yes.
Unpredictable. - I doubt it. For those trained or skilled in reading people, I don't see what would be unpredictable about me. And I won't even wake up one day and bring a gun to school to shoot several of my snotty school-mates and a teacher or three, because, I just finished school :))

DECEMBER:
Loyal and generous. Sexy. Patriotic. Active in games and interactions. Impatient and hasty. Ambitious. Influential in organizations. Fun to be with. Loves to socialize. Loves praises. Loves attention. Loves to be loved. Honest and trustworthy. Not pretending. Short tempered. Changing personality. Not egotistic. Take high pride in oneself. Hates restrictions. Loves to joke. Good sense of humor. Logical.

In the best tradition, that was that was that. Knock yourselves out with these memes. If you take any of them from this blog (including the people I nominated at the end of the first meme), drop me a comment or a redirect, so I can amuse myself reading like you (maybe) just have. Even if I don't know you. I actually consider this a good opportunity to meet some of my 88 regular readers, of which I might be persuaded to admit that I personally know 6 or 7, from my day-to-day life. Come on, my dears, please show yourselves. It'd be fun, and it'd cure a bit of the loneliness...

Ok, off we go before I start being mushy. Teh biusiful songs of the day:
Irodori - Shitsujin
Gothika - Alexa


____________________________________________________________

Actually, there's one more thing. Reading through it again, it feels like I sis-kebabed that last meme - made fun of it, criticized it, etc up the whazoo. This wasn't the intention. If you read between the lines (or between the smart-aleck-nesses) you'll see that I was indecently open and honest and demonstrative. It's just that it's horrendously hard for me to talk about things like those listed above. Because I can't know me. People who see me from outside my head can know me. But how can I ever detach myself enough? Thank you for your attention.

Poze sepia

I'm eating an orange. And I'm very hot. And pretty sleepy. Actually, truth be told, from all the inactivity, I can't focus anymore. I can't draw, because my mind is too scattered.

Mom's hair has turned gray in the last week. I almost didn't recognize her hair.

A sepia photograph I found on the net today reminded me of a moment - of a string of moments - from long ago.

My love, beautiful child... I lost 4 years of your life.

And I am so, so sorry. And I know I can fix it with a click, with a phone-call.

But I don't ever want to see you again.

Three sisters with lips that are so alike.

I'd rather just go through it again sometime later, finding sepia photos of you and counting the years of our lives that I let pass me by.

I'll find you online, baby

Ummmm... want to have a laugh? Here we go: search words by which my blog was found by random people:

(in the order i found them amusing)

1. bouncy titties
(this being the fault of the TP talkshow, no doubt *sigh*)

2. hitsugaya toushirou is half naked in front of momo
(is he, really? Did you jerk off when you saw that? Must have been good, eh, pre-pubescent shinigami /fictional character/.... *hums "The internet is for porn"*)

3. senvici
(this, for all you non-Romanian-speaking folks, being the fucked-up Romanian pronounciation of the word "sandwich")

4. vreau sa fim copii
(from Romanian. Means "I want us to be children". Well, that's nice, dear, but what are you doing on my blog? The sandbox is just down the street)

5. photo pictures body and appearance for lemmings
(=)) man, this person must have gotten a surprise when they got /here/. *laughs just thinking about it*)

6. then there's /10/ variations of "anansi stories" - one, more misspelled than the other. Climaxing with "anansi owns all the stories. he won them from tiger". Well, at least this one spelled "Anansi" right... *mumbles something about humanity IQ dropping severely*

7. since we all know that 7 is a lucky number, here's the most magical one of all: "a pierd in vise, mereu cu tine". (simply untranslatable, a gem worthy to illustrate that, yes, "the average Romanian /has/ been born a poet"). Unless these are the lyrics to some unbelievably crappy song... ummm... what the fuck, man? Is the concept of getting a life even remotely familiar?!

Thank you for your attention. Now go look for "unsraw" on youtube, and enjoy the PVs (promotional videos). While i go draw some more manga pannels.

The truth about Jrock

_________________________________________

Warning: this is a crack rant. Please do not be offended by the following.

_________________________________________

1. there are 16 musicians in the whole of Japan
2. of these, one is dead (hide)
3. so that leaves a total of 15
4. in the begining, there were only 5, who formed X Japan
5. due to some alien experiments, they divided into already-fully-grown clones
(who, in order to hide this fact, dyed and cut their hair differently)
6. everybody's been in pretty much every band
7. at a certain given point, the lead singer is obliged to leave the band and start a brief solo career during which he sings jpop
8. during a combined concert some time later, the now solo lead singer meets the guitarist of another band, and together they realize that they have "the same vision and ideals" regarding music. So they start a temporary project band.
9. this project band also includes 3 or 4 more support musicians (all being ex-[insert band-name here])
10. repeat process until world end. Or infinity. Whichever comes first.
11. at some point, some new guys appear, calling themselves alice nine. But they're new, so no one pays them any attention
12. qed. jrock evolution. stay tuned

oh yeah, 6 prime. 90% of band-names are in languages that are:
a) European
b) no one in the band speaks
c) the harder to pronounce in Japanese, the better
d) the more non-sensical in that language, the better
e) Should they contain a misspelled word, that's even better, because the fangirls will thusly be kept busy arguing whether it was just a mistake or if it holds some deeper, absconse meaning - see moi dix mois album "tentation". Or, generally "moi dix mois".


Thank you for your attention. I shall now be off to drool some more. ^__^
