.. Is it weird that I remember my phonenumber in Japanese, but I have difficulties recalling it if I'm told to say it in Norwegian or English? xD

A few days ago I *finally* bought v-neu-'s album, "Neverland"!! =D It was released ages ago and since the release the vocalist and guitarist quit, they were on hiatus and now they are back with no less than 3 new members! So I finally bought it at the tiny v-kei store in Tenjin. They have a ton of indies artists' works too so I'm already in love.
However, having bought it I showed it to Yuusuke, who instantly went "Give it to me". xD
... In the end he felt sorry for me and let me keep it, but told me that I *have* to show him the store and that he is going to buy their new single when it's released... uhm.. the 23rd this month, I think!

In other news I've made some new friends and aquintances (^-^) I have yet to find someone who loves Nakasu's nightview as much as I do, but oh well. xD I don't really mind going there alone as long as all those creepy oji-sans stay faaar away from me.
The other day, as I walked down Nakasu's mainstreet, talking to a friend on the phone, this guy stopped me asking what club I work for. This man also got angry at me for not working there so he couldn't go to the club? ahaha.. I found it hilarious as I look/looked horrible, walking around in sneakers. (Yeah, none of the girls who actually work in Nakasu would even consider walking down the streets there wearing anything but princesslike diamondshoes.) However when I told Sunao he went "ASFASDMKLAS, IT'S DANGEROUS" on me, as did the friend I was on the phone with. ^^;;;

I found Norwegian "Ridder"-cheese at this supermarketthing close to Nakasu, too. I didn't buy it though. xD It was expenssssiiiiiveeee. They had some Danish cheese too! No Swedish stuff, ahaha. xD

(Sleeping beauty is so going to yell at me if/when he notices the pics on my mobile. xD He's sleeping right across the bed, with his feet where the pillow usually is, holding one pillow and hugging the blanket x' ) I'm not really tired yet as I slept from 4am till 2pm yesterday. Usually I sleep from 5am till noon ^^;;  )

I went to the izakaya where Sunao works, too. Everyone loves me, and his boss lied to me. >:
I was about to pay for my meal, and he told me Nao had already paid parts of it. When in fact Nao hadn't paid anything and I got the meal at half price. According to Nao he didn't do that when any of the other employees' girlfriends came around. (<.<) I'm also the only one being invited to dinner/drinking whenever. Haha. It's cute that his boss likes me. xD The other people working there are also really sweet. There is this guy who used to be a host who made my meal, apparently he'd been nervous making it, but it was the most beautifully cooked niratama I've ever seen/tasted. Afterwards he'd told everyone that he'd tried extra hard, and got yelled at for not doing it that nicely for all the customers. xD The oba-san who works there also looked after me, worrying whether I was getting my food or not. And she was impressed by my "manners". Hahaha. Since when did I ever have any?!! No,  but I tried ^^;;;


Oh! And if you can find it, you need to see DMC (the movie), Detroit Metal City! It's fabulous! Yuusuke, Mio-chan and I are hooked!
--- Wait, I found it for you! Click HERE And you can get whatever version pleases you. You can even get the cheap Hong Kong VCD. Not that the HK dvd is very expensive either. The Japanese versions don't come with English subtitles. At least not the one we watched.

Meme. I just felt like doing it twice. haha. borrowed from facebook / nedyfay 

( Memeee... )

Okay, so I have managed to be on the phone for a good amount of hours in a row before, and I don't know whether it counts since it was skype, but wtf?! xD
It was interesting, to say the least. (^_^) Yeah so I slept for a number of hours, but thanks to me being female, right now it was not comfortable. (>_<;) ... I really love Skype. Until it got an error just now and closed down. Which made me sad. (T_T)


Yeah, I left this.. kinda.. for now. I haven't translated Natchin's stuff either. Guuuuuuuuh. I'm sorry.
I started a new job, I watch dramas, poke Chuu and Nao. Basically~~ It's been too cold and/or dark for me to get out and go jogging the last week and a half, but I've done fairly good either way. ^^;
Saaa~~ I suppose I get to speak enough these days anyways, so I have no need to pour it out all over LJ? ^^;

Oh Chuu, you know the Merry/Moi dix Mois/Megamasso thing? Megamasso are adorable (*_*) And I really like their music!

Now, showcasing awesome shoes, filled with "kakkoii" and asianness:

お誕生日おめでとうございます、Inoran!!!♥♥♥

Gwah, today (well, the 29th) is Inoran's birthday!
One of my favourite artists, both as one of Luna Sea's guitarists, and as a solo-artist. He'll be holding a birthdaylive tonight, which I wish I could have attended. D:

Soon he will also be releasing a new album! (I don't remember the date, what?! It could be today for all I know ) Apocalypse.

I hope everyone who can attend the upcoming liveshows will enjoy them, and that Inoran has a lot of fun. (^_^)
I can't wait to hear more from you sweet Inoran! =D

Also, yesterday (28th) was v -neu-'s drummer, Rei's birthday!
I posted about it in my ameblo already, but happy birthday Rei (^^)

.. Picture when I get desperate enough to switch browser or they fix firefox.
Now, I upgraded firefox and things are working, it seems. I don't like firefox 3 much, but I suppose I will have to get used to it. ^^;

This picture of Inoran is taken from his myspace and cropped. *_* He's so adorable ^^
Also, if you go to his myspace or website, you can download two of his new songs AND the PV for free!

"Haikei, shinai naru anata he"

Guh, I'm totally infatuated with this song by 176BIZ.
Suddenly I started thinking about the lyrics, and realised that, eh, if I analyze it a little, it's a really sad song. (T_T;) It's not just me right? The beloved one died and that's why they won't meet anytime soon, but maybe some day above the sky?!
Oh god, I'm analyzing things.  XD But It's an amazingly pretty song. (*_*) I'm going to marry it.

( Lyrics... )

I've been doing all good with the jogging and things lately too, yey. xD 
But my kanji-training is failing. And having a vacation is beyond awesome.
It only leaves me angsting over smaller matters. I seriously do end up analyzing things, and thinking of the worst possible outcome when I don't have anything better to do. I need to do something useful soon. Sometime.
I've also been ordered to get a doctors appoinment, gwah. I keep getting these 2-3 second, I don't know, blackouts? It goes dark for a moment, I go dizzy and get desorientated. (v_v) Troublesome.
Yeayea, I WILL CALL, you hear me? Monday. xD Although I despise going to see the doctor.

Oh wohey, guess who had left the camera at home when jogging today when something out of the ordinary appeared right in front of her?
Yeah, I still had the mobile, but this mobile of mine is unable to take good pics unless the lighting is extremely good.
Why can't we get awesome Japanese phones here?! xD
ケロケロ！！(Kerokero = frog sound) (^-^)

I'm doing this kinda backwards now, but I'll start off with today and move backwards to yesterday. xD
Or well, today.. It's past midnight here but whatever. 
I didn't sleep too well, but was still in high spirits when I woke up thinking "YEY, CAKE WITH CHUU". I took me a while of lurking around mixi, messaging Chuu on msn and wasting time on randomness before I realised that it was raining. Really pouring down. But I had already decided, I wanted to be sporty and walk down to Chuu's place. "Yosh!" (x_X;) I went umbrellahunting and succeeded in tracking down one of what must be dad's umbrellas. Furthermore I stacked everything I felt like bringing and then some into my bag, put on music and walked out the door. 
Jeans, sneakers and heavy rain. Plus a slightly messed up umbrella. What I didn't consider was how quickly my fairly new shoes would get soaked, and how long it takes for jeans to dry. But still in a good mood I walked down the street, until I got to the track where the asphalt ends. It went ok for a while, but my toes were wet already. After listening to Gaku's wailing for a little longer, and walking a little further, I was soaked up to my knees.
Do not misunderstand, I actually quite like rain, and I think it's pretty. But today it was all just awfully inconvenient.
After taking a few detours to avoid the worst ponds, I arrived at Chuu's. I took off my pants hoping they would be dry by the time we were going out to buy cake, which of course failed brutally. We flipped through the magazines I'd brought and were amused by the oldschool-ness. xD
Then after the hassle of getting dressed again (I'm sorry, not walking around without pants, no matter how wet they are xP) We went out. I was dreading it, but I desired some cake and celebrating. In the end they didn't have "our" cake at the store. (^^;) So we spent our money on other things and went elsewhere to get yummycakestuff. Chuu didn't want any of the cheesecake I bought so I ended up giving it to her grandma. xD (She's so sweet) By the time we got back to the house, I'd almost drowned thanks to Chuu's lacking husbandskills and being unable to hold the umbrella in an "aiaigasa" kind of way.
We watched my Kiyoharu dvd, which I bought aaaaaaaages ago. It really felt cult-like. xD The drugs(!?!!), candles, unusual outfits and mumbling-like-singing. The ending was, however, disappointing. How about crediting your support band? It ended quite abruptly and left us all confused. 
Moving on~ Kra!! I haven't been into them much, however much we listen to the same stuff (Chuu and I), and however much we watch together, we go in different directions at times. But it was a pleasant surprise on my part. (^_^) Maiccho seemed like he was high on life and made the entire concert come alive in my eyes. Of course, Yasuno's brilliant smile also helped out a lot. And when Keiyuu and Yura woke up and especially Yura regained his personality, and moved around it just seemed complete. Of course, it was also set on one of the outdoor-stages Chuu and I really like as of late. xD

Bwah, but after this I was dead-tired and decided to walk back home again to take a shower before catching a cold or something. Thankfully it didn't rain on my way back, but my clothes and shoes were already wet.
Oh! And then there was the old lady who almost drove into me. Haha. She stopped and talked to me for a split second, all worried before she seemed to be on her way again. And then stopped again to tell me that she liked my sweater. xD (A huge white one, which is a towel-like cozy sweater where it says "I <3 Charles John". (^_^))

Woah, I wrote a lot more than I planned on, concerning today.

Jya, yesterday. I didn't get any of the things I was supposed to do done. But I got my shipment from Jen!!! The beforementioned magazines, and some singles! YEY! 4 of the mags are featured in the picture. I gave away one as a very early Christmaspresent for Chuu, and then I didn't know how to fit the 5th mag into this pic so 4 will have to do. First one (Top left) is Luna Sea, then Vicious featuring Kuroyume, Arena37c with Siam Shade, Fool's Mate with Shinya and Jun-ji on the frontpage. =D Happy!!

Guh, he got the package with the letter and things today. He seemed happy, yey. (^^) And even more so, it arrived despite my lack of addresswritingskillz. xD

Mine-kun's lalalala's sound a lot happier than Towel-chan's do. xD

Anyways, I was thinking. The way they lalala can completely change the mood of a song and whatnot.
So, I wonder who changed today's lalalaing? xD It started out beyond Ryuichi-ish.
I didn't want to get up at all, even if the weather was good and I woke up ahead of time so there was no stress. I wanted to stay in bed and enjoy the warmth, while yelling at some stupid dorama. ^^ But no, eventually I had to get up and go to work.
When I got out of the house everything was so morning-ish. I know, it was morning, but everything just sounded, looked and felt like a morning. So I took the picture shown below. I wasn't in a rush or anything, but when I got down to the road where I see the busstop a bus with the same number as the bus I was supposed to take was just turning up, and.. IT DROVE AWAY! Gawd, I panicked. On Sundays there are two buses going from here and into town, and being at home alone I couldn't just call dad either. It probably took me 5 minutes of cursing and mumbling to realise that the bus who had cruelly left me confused and angry a few minutes previous, was the bus which just ended its route there, since there is one bus taking people from downtown and up here on Sundays, which arrives a little before the other one.
Guh, what a great beginning I had.

Finally downtown I had to rush up to work, since there are no buses going all the way there from the towncenter on Sunday mornings. Oh great, a 20-minute walk in a hurry to get to work asap. I'd told the receptionist that I'd probably be a couple of minutes late, but she shouldn't worry because I'd get there eventually. xP
Soooo~ Tired, sweaty and horrible I stumbled into the kitchen and straight into breakfastservice. Luckily there weren't as many guests for breakfast today as there was yesterday. Plus whoever was on nightduty had done their job properly which helped a great deal. <3
Marianne is a dream to work with. ^^ Easy going, quick and cooperative. This was the first weekend we worked together, but also probably the last.  (Oh this is a new one, Yasu's singing "kurururu~" xD ) So thank you! You helped a hopeless weekend seem less hopeless.
Then of course something else had to be wrong. Feeling horrible already wasn't enough. Someone had forgotten to tell the other maid that she wanted her to help out today, thus suddenly I was the only one to clean rooms. Again, a huge thank you to Marianne for helping out so much with the other areas, like the reception and guests kitchen.
But really, walking around working and cleaning like that alone, SO BORING. Not to mention exhausting. And since Marianne already had so much on her hands, there's nobody to take breaks with.
I am so glad tomorrow is my last day there. The last talk with Marianne before I left was fun though. I tried to teach her a little about how Japanese works, with the hiragana, katakana and kanji. (^^;) Mostly what came out of it is that I'm a bad teacher, I think.

Finally off work I practically ran out of there.
I called dad to check if he was going to drive back home anytime soon, which he wasn't. However he told me that mum's having issues again. And that my brother had been all worried and calling him, again. I don't really know anything about it.
I don't think I want to know either. I know, I am probably a horrible daughter for being like this, but I do not want to deal with it. It scares me, confuses me and at times brings me into her scared little world. So I run.

At home. At long last. Egocentrical as I am today, if you told me about something and I kinda just blew you off, I'm sorry. Today's not the day to try to console in me or ask for advice. However it's not that I don't care, most of the time. I just have more than enough to deal with on my own. 
I found a hotel now. I emailed the receptionist asking her to make a reservation for me. I hope she replies tomorrow.
Thus my day suddenly looked up. I messaged with Nao too. Ah~ What a sweetheart. ≧(´▽｀)≦ He made me happy again.

I finally got it! My Olive Sunday single!!!
Tracks:
1. 恋の葉 (Koi no ha - Leaf of love, titletrack)
2. 終わり無き躍動感 (Owarinaki yakudoukan - Endless(ly) throbbing feeling)
3. Angel

I got it a couple of days ago, (Saturday) so this update is a little late. But oh well.
I've had so much to do, think about and figure out. Not to mention work and the stupid cold I caught.
I also got my Toybox CD the other day!! =D I love Kotae!
Thank you so much for your efforts to get it onto amazon, Toybox. And especially Yo who kept me up to date. (^_^)
Also thank you to Jokke-paws for Saturday night. It was good to see people before people once again are leaving for various reasons I suppose.

Moving on. I need to find a new job as I'm quitting the current one. I've got 4 days left there, Friday - Monday. After that I'm on my own to find somewhere else. I should have started looking already but guh.. No fuel left. xD Help meee~
As of right now either applying for a job nearby at one of the stores, downtown at one of the newer hotels, the post-officething downtown or.. eh. Troublesome. But I'm tired of cleaning and my body is exhausted. (T_T;) Choices choices.

AH NOOOOOOOOOO! I JUST REALISED! I FORGOT KAZUMA'S RADIO! (TT_TT) Nuuuuh.

*ahem* So I've stopped surfing Nettby for things that make me angry. Kinda. I've become a total mixi-whore instead. xD I spend way too much time on there, just randomly doing nothing. And I've gone back to watching doramas again!! I've missed you, dearest.

For whoever it may concern, or whoever would like to know, I'm leaving for Japan on Monday January 5th 2009. My dad was kind enough to help me order tickets.  (Oh gawd Chuu, I just realised it's one of your Graphic class days! I was hoping you could come with me to the airport. Aw. D: )
Which means I'll arrive at Narita before noon January 6th. I'll be going home the 5th of February, arriving at Værnes the 6th I think.
I hope you all will look after CarMa for me while I'm gone. xD
In fear of forgetting someone or something, or not having enough money, I am not promising to buy anyone anything other than Chuu. (<_<)
Because she's my darling. <3
Hotelroom(s), money for food and the 3-week railroadpass will come to at least 20 000 NOK already. O_o;;;
Still 4 months left. But I didn't dare waiting any longer when it came to deciding, in fear of Hiro and Nao leaving Japan before I get there. But they've both said that they will probably still be in the country. (^_^) And Asami as well!! I talked to her just now! She'll also leave Japan next year but fortunately not till at least the end of February.

Olive Sunday~

 

Yeha, the topic quickly sums up today. xP

I went to work early, caught the bus at 6am aaaand fell asleep, with last night fresh in mind.
It was great fun, really. Although I stayed out way too late. xD I was like "I won't stay long, I will probably be one of the first to leave".. Yeah, I wasn't. I had lots of fun so all common sense flew out the window. (^^;)
Happy birthday Egil! Thank you for last night!

After work I was way excited and rushed back home. (Well, not without falling asleep on the bus again of course) MAAAAAIL!
I got my Arena 37C mag + Kung Fu Dunk + When Beckham met Owen + Siam Shade V1 + Miyavi Visualizm whatever taiwan version. xP
I am really excited about Natchin's band "Big Bites" now! Too bad I couldn't find any Sex Machinegun dvds I wanted, however I found a The Yellow Monkey dvd. And also bought a Aucifer cd + Merry dvd. (^_^);

As if that wasn't enough, I decided to buy Chinese food since I had to go to the post office to get my mail anyways. It was yummyyyy~! And Jun-jun (fish) was still there!

Then some Fredrik hurt my car! (And the neighbour's wall, but I think the car lost the fight) xD Haha. And helped me take a look at it, yey! Hopefully he'll be able to fix things. <.<

MUSIC.
I'm considering buying a guitar. I really want one. Especially now that I'm watching my Inoran-dvd.
It would be cool to be able to play a little. I mean, I already have guitarpicks. xD
I also just noticed that .. however much it annoys me when other bands and artists (kanjani8) uses silly effects and filters on the dvd, I don't mind the way Inoran has utilised it at all. It's quite awesome. (Maybe it's because I simply adore him, too. (<.<))

A paprika with an identity crisis! (lulz, just like me? xD ) I think it looks awesome, so I just HAD to take a picture of it when I saw it at the store.

One more day of work, and then I will get my delayed weekend.
From now on I'll (only) have Mondays and Tuesdays off until sometime in August.

I have a lot to do these days, other than work too.
Maintaining some sort of balance is getting hard, but at least it is only until September for now.
It's not that I dislike my job that much, but the combination of an insecure future for the hostel, long hours, a superior who doesn't care, and how I exhausted I get after working... After work I usually go home, shower, eat and sleep. When it doesn't even leave me enough energy to watch doramas afterwards... Ech.
My social life, when it comes to friends and people outside the hostel, is dying slowly but surely.
Which is my own fault, I know, for deciding that I want to work that much (although I got a bigger workload than expected), and being unable to make appointments, plus working during weekends. To gain you have to sacrifice, I suppose.
However; thank you to everyone who invites me along, and who make the effort to hang out with me when I can.
I am sorry about being somewhat self-centered. I really want to travel and experience different places, and in order to do that I need some money.
I also have Chuu and my project in mind. Bear with me please~.

Yesterday was a good day, I went to the movies with someone from work and we saw "Mamma Mia", which I suspect I mostly liked because of the music. ....
I'll update again later *jaw drops as Koichi and Tsuyoshi are singing "Kimi ni aitai"* LOVE.
I finally put on the live dvd so I am going to focus on that now. (^^;)

The tv in the apartment at the hostel suddenly went all blue the other day, and then it went into "the ring"-mode. <.<

http://www.fender.jp/tgs2008/topics/cat32/
... I wish I could have gone too. D:
Tokyo is too far away at the moment. (TT_TT)
Of course, the event I would want to see is "Quintillion Quiz plays Sugi", 正典峰・まいこ・Ju-ken. *sigh*
And the birthdaylive, which was today. Aaaaaawh. "Olive Sanmei + Ju-ken"!! xD

I ordered a Myv dvd and another Siam Shade dvd. Yey. (^_^;)

Sanza appears again! I wonder if this was taken while he was still slightly drugged. hmm. xD
Chuu's cat. He sleeps in the weirdest positions.

One of my flaws, I suppose, is lacking the ability to be objective. (^_^;)
So what I write is as a fan of Inoran, Luna Sea, Kiyoharu, pretty asian guys, and other random factors which may or may not be relevant.
Thus, please keep in mind that I am biased if you read the following. =P


As soon as I got back from the post-office and Chuu's, I put on the BUCK-TICK dvd "At the night side". (released in 2004, BMG Funhouse, BVBR-11041)


閑ジャニ∞  EXCITE!! (Released in 2005, Teichiku Records TEBH-8)
Christmas concert!!
I have already squealed over this dvd, but I feel like writing about it again.
A few days ago these guys were also somewhat unknown to me, when I finally received my copy of EXCITE!! in the mail.


Fake? Live tour "?" final at Shibuya-AX (released in 2005, Tokuma Japan Communications, TKBA-1078)
Another band which is was new to me, although I already know quite a bit about Inoran and Luna Sea. I received it today, together with amongst other the Buck-tick dvd. (and this will probably be the most subjective one)
Members and Support band featured in this live :
Ken Lloyd (vo), Inoran (gt), Morrissey (Ba), Pablo (gt), Noguchi Kaoru (dr), DJ Bass (dj)

(pictures of the covers borrowed from cdjapan, play-asia and wikipedia)

(No, nothing was burning, Chuu's waffles were fine, no burn-marks.)
However, our fangirlhearts were on fire yesterday. At least mine! xD　★
You will have to excuse me for not really knowing everyone's names. So I'll just say "no names mentioned, no-one forgotten"! xP
Well of course, Chuu has to be mentioned by name. D'uh.
Maybe I should go back to saying Charlie? xD It's just that everyone else thinks I'm talking about a guy if I say Charlie. Or I start thinking about Busted.

じゃぁ～　昨日★　閑ジャニ∞から私はびっくりした！
Kanjani8's Excite!! concert dvd is absolutely wonderful. I love their enka-ish songs!

Yesterday was awesome, apart from me and Chuu being horrible at guessing how long it'd take "our" guests to get to there store where we were meeting them, because guiding people to Chuu's house is close to impossible. xD (Oh guests, I'm sorry about not being too enthusiastic about Superjunior or Kyo, but really.. No. (^_^;) ) However I hope you had fun and that your parents feel more at ease now. *cough*
We kicked off the night with 黒夢's Shinjuku LOFT performance, then moved on to Gackt's Drug Party (well, one of his drug parties...!? xP), Vanilla, Speedmaster and ended with　雅 at Budokan, before the children had to leave. (^_^;) Also, don't complain about the waiting, Chuu! At least they didn't miss the bus. (^_^) We were almost something like responsible, ne~? ☆

Having Chinese food was awesome, it's been a while since the last time I actually bought some proper Chinese instead of failing at making my own dinner. =P
I fell in love with one of the fishes in the fish-tank they have there! JUN-JUN!!!! ♥ Because of dear Jun-jun we ended up watching parts of Platinum box 8 as well, after watching the rest of the Kanjani8 concert and the end of the Anna concert.

As soon as I find the usbcablething for my phone I'll put up a picture of Jun-jun! d(^_^)b

EDIT: I bring thee "Jun-jun"!! (・∀・)ﾉｼ

. . . LALALALALALA!

xD

Yesterday was awesome.
Tomorrow will be waesome.

Today, I finally got to baking! Kinda like buns, or whatever, with cheese and ham. (ostehorn)
I have no clue about what these things translate to in English, so we'll just leave it at that. They are yummy!

As for tomorrow, I'm not sure what to bring yet. But I definitely want to eat Chinese food.
I have no clue what Chuu's followers like. (._.) Chuu has most of the Gaku things, and all the Myv things so.. I never bought most of those because I want to see new things too.
Hmmm. I haven't even seen the Kanjani8 and B'z lives yet myself. (Yey for them finally arriving! <3)
Jyaaaa~ SEXYMAN, WHEN WILL YOU RELEASE YOUR OWN LIVE-DVD? xP

Merry, Fake?, Buck-tick and KinKi Kids dvds should arrive within a week now =D

Ignore the crappy photoshopping, the compy was spazzing and things so I didn't bother more with it. xD I just wanted a pic of some of my more recent items. (SOME of them (<_<)) Luna Sea at the top left, Dragon Ash, Kanjani8-Excite, B'z-Monster Garage, DUSTZ (AAAH REI!), Daita-Euphony and Kazuma-Butterfly!

LAWL.
So, because I deserve it (lulz) after that horrid exam experience and whatnot, I eBay'ed a little. xD
(I'll have to procrastrinate the Tour Feminism thing a little I think, Chuu. (<.<))
I really do not like the conflictthings in the Middle-East. GUH! However I got a 4 on my oral exam, which I'm quite happy with considering not having learned anything about it beforehand and having to read up on the entire situation and history in 48 hours. (V_V)

Oh yea, eBay stole my money. xD I ordered (from one of the stores which I actually trust):
Fake? - Live tour final at Shibuya-AX dvd  (From the time when Inoran was in the band)
BUCK-TICK - At the Night Side live dvd
Merry (メリー) - Many Merry Days live dvd (yey, a limited edition!!)

I don't even know if I like much of those bands' music, but I like what little I have heard, plus, I mean, INORAN <3
BUCK-TICK are old-school. "Along with X JAPAN, BUCK-TICK are commonly credited as one of the founders of the visual kei movement.", plus they have collaborated with Kiyoshi  (^_^)b
"清春 interviewed Sakurai twice on his personal radio show in conjunction with BUCK-TICK’s anniversary festival and declared Sakurai to be “so hot” and “a wonderful person." (Sakurai Atsushi, vocalist) However, J also appeared when reading about them. GUH. (v.v)
Kiyoharu seems to be a BUCK-TICK fanboy. xD While B-T has a song called Mr.Darkness&Mrs.Moonlight 黒夢 has one called Ms.Moonlight! (^_^;) They also covered a hide song for the tribute album. Oh, and Yuu of Merry is a fan of theirs! (^_^)
Merry is signed under Kiyoharu's record label, I think. The vocalist is a Kyo (GUH (T_T)) fan/ early Dir en Grey roadie, but also has great respect for Kiyoharu, and Merry has been a warm-up band for SADS, so I'm taking my chances here. Lawl. xD Sayonara Ame is a really pretty song though.
Haha, Chuu, get this! Their lineup is Gara(vo), Yuu(Gt), Kenichi(Gt), Tetsu(Ba), Nero(Dr).

Prepare for many hours of squealing, Chuu. (^_^;)
More GUH, the JamE site or whatever annoys me in its lack of knowledge and updatedness. For some reason they don't seem to know that Λucifer's drummer who goes by the stage-name "Santa" in the band, also has a REAL name and is in other bands. Sheesh. He happens to be Toru Abe, Olive Sunday's drummer! Although I really don't get what Abe is doing to his hair lately. xD Ah, and there were a lot of disbanded bands they wrote optimistically about, but d'uh. (T_T) Ah, La'cryma Christi.. I want their dvd as well! (Shuse, bassist, part of ABC)  
5am is an ungodly hour. But maybe I'll be able to sleep now. ^^;

Today's picture! I took it while I was on the bus to school some time ago I think.(well d'uh, you see the bus' shadow) Lulz.
  

So! My final exam at "Videregående" will be an oral history exam, with the Middle East as the theme.
I'm in so much trouble. xD
However most of all I'm angry with my teacher for selecting a topic which we haven't even talked about in class. Seriously. And while all of the other teachers seem to be present and available at school tomorrow, MY history teacher will be absent. "You can always call me", she said.
WTF. SHE IS RUINING IT. I can't ask questions over the phone in the same way as when it's face to face. [Tohfa!]

On a happier note, I finished watching Full House (Korean drama) today. It was.. interesting. xD It's .. I don't know, I've seen so many love-dramas already, and several which I tlike more. But for a Korean one this was really good. Rain (Bi/Pi) is adorable in it, too.
Nevertheless I like the tear-jerking dramas, and the mystery ones. (一リットルの涙, 勇気, タイヨウのウタ / IWGP, Psychometrer Eiji, Puzzle, Coin Locker Monogatari etc. )

Right now I'm hooked on Natchin's songs again, and Kuroyume's. (^_^) I really wish there were Natchin-live-dvds and I'm this |-| close to buying more 黒夢/SADS stuff even though I can't really afford it. xD Damn you, 清春～！ (How cute isn't it that 清春 was the one who came up with Hitoki's name?! His real name is 小木曽 久時 (Ogiso Hisatoki)) (^_^)

v ---- This is basically how far I've gotten. Lulz. The exam will crash and burn. I'll just have to try to be FIERCE. xD



Ah, lulzadvertising, natchin_words !! I'm trying to translate (Siam Shade's) Natchin's journal entries. xD It's interesting. :P

Today's title is the Swedish word for drunken-driver. xD
We found it utterly amusing as we were watching some Swedish news after the Eurovision contest. That night ROCKED. xD It was so much fun, not because we really /liked/ any of the contributions. Well, I did like Iceland's. xP

My written exams are finally over. Yey!
English was the last one, and now the teachers are on strike. At least some of them. NATSUYASUMI, HERE I COME. ^^;
Uhm, yeah..

DO THE FUNKY PUNKY.
Yesterday Chuu and I watched Hotei and the Wanderers' live dvd!
The stageshow made it SO WORTH IT.  We didn't really know any of the songs. ^^
However some of the lyrics were pretty easy as long as you can say "baby" and "peek-a-boo" xD (That last one was made for me, yes!)
Time went past so quickly as we were watching it. (Hahah, I wonder why, Chuu xP )

Hahaha. Hiro and I had another videocall. (Like woah, yes I do have a webcam, it works, and my mic works! Ô_ô )
Lulz. I in no way told him to open that bottle of beer. (Old Gold or something like it... Swedish?! xD)
Half a bottle of beer later dearest Hiroくん's face was red like my raspberry drink. Haha.
でもちょ可愛いよ
きょつけてね～　Ｈｉｒｏくん！

So. Since the KinKi Kids concert was sold out everywhere (everywhere being HMV Japan and CDJapan), I figured that if I wanted the concert dvd from their 07/08 New Years concert, I'd have to find it quickly..
Thank you yesasia, for being utterly awesome. I ordered the concert and ABC's Recreation cover album. I'll get them in late June/sometime in July, if I'm lucky. xP

Oh atm I'm listening to/watching my JJ Lin dvd. I DO NOT BELIEVE THAT HE IS LIKE 27! There is no way. NO WAY.
It's like, "I want one" xD He looks so cozy and sweet. xD
Haha, and get this Chuu-chan, he has also been on a WORLD-tour;
"2006: Held a world tour covering states in China, Singapore, Malaysia, Taipei."

This is him. Lin Junjie (Pic obviously borrowed from Yesasia)

First of all, today, my thoughts go to China, and especially the Sichuan province.

Over 8000 people, at least?! And a school with 900 students.. gone?
Eh, I seriously have issues imagining how bad it can be. I wonder what it's like, being there now, but oh my am I grateful that I'm up here in Norway.
I really hope their numbers are wrong and whatnot, that when I wake up tomorrow someone will say that their estimates were wrong, and that those students are all right.

" US President George W Bush expressed condolences to victims' families, while Japan offered to send aid."
Oh jeez, thank you President Bush. (T_T;)
While Bush sits there comfortably, I somehow imagine Sugizo flying over there to do whatever he can.
I don't know.

I feel kind of brutal and mean when changing the theme now, because personally I had a good day today.
Dad left for England, but he didn't leave that early so I actually got to say bye and wish him a safe flight before he left.
I also knew that I'd have company tonight anyways, so it wasn't so bad being left alone for a few hours.
THEN, I got to talk to Hiro-zou.. Like, actually talking, hearing his voice etc. It was awesome!!! =D Ureshiiiiiii!

Theeeen Øyvind came over (Ying was at work (V_V)) and we watched Black Adder, parts of the Luna Sea-live, and some Siam Shade!!!
Haha, he likes Shamu now. Yey!

I'm borrowing today's picture from news.bbc.co.uk

Well, that's what my youngest brother and dad call me now. xD
My neighbour asked if I did it for "my" football team, Rosenborg, since their colours are black/white. But no. xP
It's quite awesome though, I'm in love with my new hair. Haha. xD
Random people keep staring at me though, Chuu pets my hair and my brother wants to pull it. (<_<;)

Of course, no-one but Chuu-chan understands where I actually got my inspiration.
Thus I will enlighten you all!

☆ OliveSundayの正典峰くん！ Of course, the original is the best <3 ★



Oh-oh!!! I ordered Dustz' single/dvd today! Yey!
Can't waaaaaaaaait to get all the things I'm waiting for atm. xD
(Providence is the beautiful song where Sugizo plays the violin! <3)
