Sooooo, I saw Repo with Kyle and Diana in the TINIEST THEATER EVER ~~I think the TV at Kyles' is almost as big as the screen.~~. It was kind of awesome. I enjoyed it much more than I expected I would, even though some of the vocals and most of the lyrics were terrible. When Nathan first showed up, I was like "HOLY SHIT, GILES!!!OEN!", which made me remember my huge ~~boner~~ crush on Giles. Anthony Stuart Head has a BEAUTIFUL voice, and he was the best vocalist in my opinion. ~~Also Sarah Brightman omgsdkhgskg~~. Graverobber also had a great voice for the most part. Everyone else was kind of meh in terms of vocals. I also wanted more gore (the spine scene was great though!) but it was overall a great deal of fun.

We played mini-golf too.

Been playing around with the layout on dreadnought. I'm having issues getting the tags and currents to stay consistent.
Like, say I have everything set up for tags, current music, current mood and current location. I post an entry that only features the tags and current music. There will either be either a large gap where the other currents should be, or the tags and current music list will end up on top of each other depending on how I had things aligned. You can see it on dreadnought's current layout, because I'm too lazy to bother fixing it right now.
If anyone knows how to fix this short of setting the currents that I never use anyway (mood and location) to not display, I'd greatly appreciate it if you would pass on the knowledge of how to do it. My anal retentivity demands to have everything functioning properly.
I'd love to start designing layouts, but I need to learn how to hand CSS it's ass on a silver platter before I can really do that.

So I guess I'll just make something for 10variations because I am incredibly bored, am putting off finishing an art commission and I missed entering in animechorus and haven't really done anything fabulous in terms of iconing lately. /run on sentence.

Holy shit, this entry was plug city. My right ear is also stuffed up and I can't hear very well out of it, and it is making things awkward. Quit that, please.
I still want more tags on Scribbld. 100 is not enough for my tagfagging tendencies.

P.S.: Happy birthday, kirie!

And on the 61st night...

2008-11-14T05:15:06Z

I have just read the most convoluted, bizarre forum wank in... ever. I never thought that another fandom would be able to beat the oddities of ball jointed doll fans, but holy fuck, poker wank takes the cake. That's not even the entirety of it. Just... holy hell.

So have a picture of some awesome shoes I bought for a costume.
~~Because I refuse to wear ugly loafers as Kazuya. Dude is pimp, so pimp shoes he must have.~~

P.S. I just watched the ~~blue~~ crab battle of Iron Chef. No one broke their knives. )':

2008-11-13T12:38:46Z

I made my layout all pretty! It's the same header, but now the entire page is more streamlined and I can actually use the navigation! I love flexible squares. :'D
Check it out!
astro astro astro

I'm having a few issues with the coding though. No matter what I do to it, the userpics on my friends page are surrounded in white. I don't know what to change, because I have seriously tried everything. I get this problem when I code on LJ, too. HALP?

And on the 59th night...

2008-11-13T08:08:38Z

I think I blew up my custom style sheet. Oops. I need to go find the code for Flexible Squares so I can actually do something to it.

Edit: AWESOME. I now have an illegal layout type. Oh bby this is gonna be fun to play with.
At least I can have my ~*FABULOUS*~ rotating header now. I'll take it down if anyone from el jay asks. :'D

Edit: Or not. I still can't get that blasted header to work.

And on the 58th night...

2008-11-12T05:22:22Z

I have a cold and feel miserable. >:|

I signed up to test some mystery videogame for 5 hours for 80 dolla + free pizza. They wanted people with PS3s or 360s that play action games and uh... I kind of qualify for that. I just worry that they'll turn me down because I don't own many PS3 games, and on their list of like 10 or so games, I only owned one of them (MGS4). Most of the action games I have played are on the PS2, because holy fucking shit are current gen games expensive.

They were also doing a test for the Wii, but the information totally puzzled me because all of the games that they wanted to know if you'd played were not for the Wii. Like, did not even have games that are distantly related cousins on the Wii. What.

And on the 57th night...

2008-11-10T00:20:19Z

So this morning I woke up and was puzzled to find that part of the perimeter of the bath mat by my toilet was wet. I found this curious, but just brushed it off as having come from the shower, since I thought that my mother had cleaned something in my bath tub.
Later on I found that it was even more wet, which was seriously gross.

Checked back again about a half an hour ago, and everything that was on my bathroom floor was wet. So I had to get down on the [very wet] floor and turn off the valve to my toilet.
EW. Just... Ew. Especially because I wasn't smart enough to remove the wet bath mat, so it went all gooshy on me.
I know it's technically "clean" water, but goddamn was that disgusting.

I am so glad I just took a shower.

In other news, Order of Ecclesia is awesome.

And on the 56th night...

2008-11-08T04:35:48Z

I ORDERED ~*RIB OF A HERMAPHRODITE*~です. ಥ﹏ಥ
And Yaso Victorian. And then I picked up Castlevania: Order of Ecclesia and am about to fag out over it with iorie for the rest of the night and probably week.
I love love love handheld Castlevanias. I hope it's as awesome as Andy has made it out to be!

I almost picked up Rondo of Blood too, since Gamestop had it used. But honestly, I'd rather buy it online instead of giving Gamestop money for a used game. I should also save my money so I can afford to go on little sprees like this.
Also, DEAD SPACE FUUUCK YEAH. I totally want to play that game. When I get it, people are going to have to come over and play it with me so I don't feel like such a tard freaking out while playing it alone.

I AM KIND OF STUPID. HOW DO I DELETE TAGS?
Like, from my overall tags list? Scribbld is a dick and only lets me have 100, and I want to delete some of my useless tags.

Edit: Just as I thought I had escaped Kinokuniya without passing any stereotypical otaku, I wound up running into a pair in Japan Video. They were buying ~*MOE*~ (and by moe, I mean their fap material) figurines and pestering the clerk about them.
GUISE? GUISE?! GET SOME SOCIAL SKILLS PLEASE.

And on the 55th night...

2008-11-07T04:22:21Z

I watched Earl and Fairy (Hakushaku to Yousei) last night because I was really fucking bored and I was putting off watching anything that I actually want to be seeing.
It started off kind of awesome (Torture chambers, harpsichord music, etc) and went downhill incredibly fast into some generic shoujo bullshit.
Except it's so bad that I kind of love it. I'm really on the fence about watching more of it. I mean, there is a talking cat that drinks scotch and eats chicken wings, and the leading male sparkles when he fucking punches people. There is also this fabulous, magical sound (think of when something is unveiled on a game show) whenever he appears.

SERIOUSLY.

And on the the 54th night...

2008-11-03T07:32:14Z

... I just put on the Lord of the Dance OST (STFU, I LOVE IT. >:|) and got confused as to why there were no electric guitars backing the fiddles in "Cry of the Celts". Or any of the songs, for that matter.
I've been around symphonic metal for far too long.

I had more interesting stuff going on in photoshop the other day when I was originally planning to do this, but then Vista decided it had to reboot itself. I resized the images a little because my screen his HUGE.

I STILL HAVE IT. I can't get rid of this desktop. About the only things that could ever replace it would be a specific Takato Yamamoto image (which I don't have in high enough resolution) or more Aya Kato.

I kind of had to open up Photoshop to resize these images.

WE SHALL CONTINUE TO PUNISH YOU BY PLAYING MORE CLASSICAL MUSIC

2008-10-29T07:22:12Z

I have sooo much stuff I need to post about. I'll start with the Apocalyptica concert because it is freshest in my mind and whatnot.
I got some great pictures this time around, considering that concerts are not prime photography locations. I really hate the massive grain you get on poorly lit images from digital cameras, but oh well, I'll take what I can get. So come take a look! I've even got pictures of the amazing typos on the set list!

Before the concert, xel_ko came over to my house to pick me up. She did my hair, by teasing it a la drag queen and then pulled it back into a half ponytail. Awesome! We stopped at the grocery at the bottom of the hill for some pretzels and tea to eat while we waited and made our way to the city. When we got to the city, we tried parking in two different places. One of them was a garage that Slims advertised as being able to park for free. However, they wanted money, and you weren't allowed to park there until after 8:30 anyway, which was well after the show started. So we left the garage that that was in and on our way out, we found the MOST AMAZING PARKING SPOT EVER. It was less than a block away from Slims and right on a corner. Great for not having to walk a long way through a semi-skeezy neighborhood!
Got in line. Met a nice family that was attending the event and started talking to them. We were in line right in front of the Apocalyptica tour bus, and we saw some wonderful things going in, including a case of Heineken and Mikko the drummer. There was also a kid skateboarding right in front of the tour bus. The people we were talking to were joking with us about how hilarious it would be if the kid hit the tour bus, and how he'd have a great story to tell about he ran into Apocalyptica's bus. And then he hit it. Some dude came out to bitch at him, and it was amazing.
sporkkunoichi and crew walked by us in line and then went on their way to dinner. xel_ko ran off with them to use the bathroom of the restaurant that they were going to. On her way back, she saw the 10 foot tall Batman sculpture, and when she got back we ran off to take pictures of it.
We called toggy to see when she was coming, but unfortunately she was unable to make it. I'll let her tell the story of why if she wants to, otherwise, whatever. We missed you, Tog!
We tried calling a few people to see if they wanted to take her ticket, all of whom were either busy or were going to the concert themselves, including my friend Tyler who looks like Jesus.
Bonus: Tyler was wearing one of Apocalyptica's shirts that said "I'm not Jesus."
When I got in the line for will-call, I wound up talking to a gorgeous German guy, who I actually wound up selling the extra ticket to. He was really adorable! He was talking to this one guy who was a mechanic in the air force, and he didn't understand the word "mechanic", and instead thought of "magnetic"! He said that he was actually from Bavaria, and when he tried to explain it to the guy in the Air Force, he said something like "Bavaria is... um..." to which is friend cuts in "Bavaria is more... um... fun!". The German guy then replied "Oh uh... Yes. We have lederhosen!"
Waited in line some more. There were ita-lolis in line. Bonus: They were smoking pot. They most definitely put the LOL in lolita.
When we got into Slims xel_ko and I were able to get right up to the stage. We were no more than two people away from the stage at all times! Slims has this habit of playing movies and such on a projector before shows start. They were playing the remake of Dawn of the Dead on mute with a bunch of metal playing in place of it. It took us a long time to realize that what was happening was actually the "opening act", and that the music was actually set to match with different parts of the movie. Instead we just wound up making up our own dialog, and this awesome guy in front of us kept yelling about hot pockets. Some douche that later started an bit of a mosh pit (no, really. Who moshes at an Apocalyptica concert?) told him to shut up. Wat.
Also while watching Dawn of the Dead + Metal, we met a girl who had been at the Kamelot/Edguy concert. She was wearing a stewardess jacket during the show, and during Lavatory Love Machine, someone lifted her up and Tobi actually wound up singing the "and I reply 'how about your pie?'" line right to her.
Anyway, show started. Apocalyptica is absolutely amazing, and I am so impressed with how they are able to manipulate their cellos! The show was great aside from the aforementioned douche who tried to start a mosh pit right next to us. He kept running into xel_ko, who kindly asked him to stop running into her because he was three times her size. Jackass replied with "It's a metal concert. You're supposed to get hurt."
Which is hilarious, because in all of the metal concerts I have gone to, no one has ever moshed. It's all just self contained headbanging. I was about to deck him one, and apparently he even purposefully shoved xel_ko after that. What a dick.
I'll let the pictures do the rest of the talking!

This is Paavo. He is adorable and lots of fun! He was the most active of the four, and was constantly smiling and trying to rile the crowd up. I took the most pictures of him because he was totally my favourite.

Eicca. When I got home and showed the pictures to my mother, she thought he was a girl. He seeeriously looks (and sounds) like Skwisgaar and Sebastian Bach's buttbaby. I also like how you can see Mikko looking like he's going to rape his drum kit in the background. He made that face or a creepy equivalent the entire show.

+
=

The dude they had for the only three or so songs with vocals. I'm not a fan of him, his voice or anything. I think he's from Three Day's Grace? The only reason why I posted this picture is because you can see Antero Manninen smirking in the background. You'll see why I find this amusing later.

More Eicca! He introduced a cover of a Ville Valo song with "THIS ONE IS FOR THE LADIES. OR THE MEN, IF YOU PREFER US." He and Perttu have these amazing thick accents. Paavo, Mikko and Manninen didn't talk.
I totally cracked up when he said "ladies". NO TOKIS, YOUS THE LADIES.

Mikko! This is probably the clearest photo I got of him. He did not stop moving or making a rape face the entire show.

MYSTERY MANNINEN! Mr. Srsbsns here made his signature frown the whole show. It must take a lot of concentration to constantly make that face and play a cello at the same time. He also didn't leave his seat until the show was over, whereas the others were all over the place.
He actually plays at funerals, and I have to wonder if he keeps the shades and frown through them too.

Perttu. He is incredibly skinny and needs a sammich.

More Paavo. At one point during the show, I made a hand-heart at him, and he winked at me. D'aaw. I think I wound up choking on spit or something at that because it was seriously funny.

Like I said, dude was in constant motion. Eicco or Perttu called him an animal, which made me think of the muppet, Animal, who is also a drummer and looks eerily similar.

Article A: Animal

Perttu again. Fun fact: He plays a cello from the 1800s. It's in incredible condition, and the only signs of wear are on the back around where his left hip/possible belt buckle would hit it. Manninen's is from the 1940's and Paavo and Eicca's are from the 90's.

OK, I LIED. This is probably the clearest image. LOOK AT THAT MAN. HE LOOKS JUST LIKE YOUNG!MALCOM MACDOWELL WITH A LITTLE BIT OF DANIEL CRAIG AND RALPH FIENNES TOSSED IN.

Paavo again! He has a beautiful smile, which I was unfortunately unable to capture properly. This was the best that I could do, so I figured I'd share it anyway.

Part of the set. All of the guys had one of these chairs, but only Paavo and Manninen used theirs. Paavo even stood up on his for one song.
I played with the levels on this so that everyone could see that the chairs are cello shaped with the eyes and nose of a skull cut in, which is part of Apocalyptica's logo. The guy whose head is in the picture is the awesome dude who was yelling about Hot Pockets.

The daughter of the family that xel_ko and I were talking to while waiting in line got the set list. I figure that one of the guys had to have typed this up themselves because of the great typos. "Jesus" is short for "I'm Not Jesus", and "bells" is actually Metallica's "For Whom the Bell Tolls" (my favourite Metallica song. AWESOME.)
I'm not sure if I like "Nothing Else Madders" or "Night of Mountain Kang" better.

Cello cases! I wish this photo had turned out better.

AND FINALLY. THE ONLY REASON WHY ANYONE EVEN BOTHERED TO CLICK THE CUT.
I PRESENT TO YOU:

THE GODDAMN BATMAN, STYROFOAM STYLE.

I think it might be Kilmer!Batman. It's totally got the lips. I can't quite make out which one it is from the picture, but I don't think it's Bale!man, it definitely isn't Clooney, so that leaves Kilmer or Keaton. You can also kind of see the person with rainbow dreads.

WE WILL NOW PUNISH YOU BY PLAYING CLASSICAL MUSIC

2008-10-28T18:48:23Z

Forgot to post this last night.

Since I have just taken a Klonopin and am kind of in "durrrrrrrr" mode right now, I will just say that Apocalyptica was amazing, and I did not realize that they did not use a guitar or bass.
It is all cello. The only thing that isn't cello is their drummer, who is a monster.
Seriously.

He looks like Alex from A Clockwork Orange. Honestly. A young, crazed Malcom Macdowel with sides of Ralph Fiennes and Daniel Craig. Holy shit. I couldn't unsee it and was kind of scared of him the entire concert. Because HE LOOKS EXACTLY LIKE ALEX. HE EVEN DOES THE FACE.

MALCOM MACDOWELL OR MIKKO? YOU BE THE JUDGE.
Paavo is adorable. I made the hand-heart at him and he winked and smiled at me. He was full of energy and doing his best to get the crowd up. There wasn't an opening act. Instead they had a DJ playing tracks to one of the Dawn of the Dead movies, which was actually kind of awesome, but didn't do much for warming up the crowd.

ALSO, MR. SRSBSNS. Mystery Manninen never deviates from this face. It's incredible. The whole entire time he kept that expression and did not budge from it one bit. He also sat for the whole concert, while the others were up and about. They're a great mix of incredibly different people.
Anyway, about half way through the concert I made it my goal to try to get him to smile. I failed.

Eicca looks and sounds exactly like Skwisgaar from Metalocalypse.
Ok. He looks mostly like him. He actually looks like the buttbaby of Skwisgaar and Sebastian Bach from Skid Row.
... Yeah.
Try imagining that one.
Your mind is now broken.
But oh sweet Jesus, he even said "ladies", and IT SOUNDS JUST LIKE SKWISGAAR AND IS CREEPY, WRONG AND AWESOME ALL AT THE SAME TIME.

And finally, xel_ko and I saw someone with rainbow colored dreadlocks carving a 10+ foot tall Batman head out of styrofoam in a Garage. We got pictures. This is why I fucking love San Fransisco.
My brain has kind of hit bottom so I will post a proper concert writeup with PICTARS (that turned out great) for all to see.

Edit: xel_ko and I were right up by the band. Probably less than 10 feet away from them. There were at most two people in front of us, but sometimes people shifted and there was only one person. Holy shiiit it was awesome.

And now, because I am the equivalent of drunk or something on my sleepy meds, I shall uh, sleep.

MASSIVE WALL OF AWESOME CONCERT TEXT

2008-10-27T06:01:15Z

Ok. So.
Edguy? Fucking best band in concert ever. Oh my god, I want to take them home. All of them. But especially Tobias #1 (Vocals). ~~Hellfire Tobi OLOLOLOLOL~~
Whenever I see bands in concert, I always wonder to myself if they're enjoying that they're doing. Some of the bands I've seen look so solemn. But Edguy? Nothing but smiles. Nothing but hilarity and sheer awesome. Seriously, if Symphony X had amazing stage presence, I have no idea how to classify Edguy's level of "holy shit these guys are fun!" while on stage.
What they may lack in music originality they totally make up in sheer AWESOME. Tobias #1 is fucking hilarious. Essentially the first thing he said (other than "We are from Deutschland!", to which I am willing to bet that over half of the audience thought "Where the fuck is Deutschland?!") was "SO YOU KNOW WHAT THEY'VE TOLD ME? THEY'VE TOLD ME THAT SAN FRANSISCO IS THE CAPITAL OF-"
And everyone in the audience was like "Oh, he so isn't gonna do it. He's going to go off into something like "YOU GUYS ARE THE CAPITAL OF METAL."
But no. He did it. He fucking went there. I love this man.
"THEY'VE TOLD ME THAT SAN FRANSISCO IS THE CAPITAL OF GAYS."
And everyone's like "Holy shit, he went there. ಠ_ಠ"
"BUT THAT'S OK. BECAUSE OVER IN ENGLAND, THEY CALL US GAY METAL. BECAUSE I CAN HIT FIVE AND A HALF OCTAVES."

- Tobias #2(Bass) makes silly faces into his microphone while singing.
- Tobias #1 doing the eating out at the Y gesture during Lavatory Love Machine.
- Them actually playing Lavatory Love Machine.
- All of the audience participation. Tobias #1 had half of Slims competing with each other in a screaming contest. He's so great because he tells you exactly what he's going to do and what's going to happen.

"OK. SO WE'RE GONNA DO THIS. WE'RE GOING TO SPLIT THE AUDIENCE IN TWO. THEN I'M GOING TO COUNT TO FOUR. AND ON FOUR, THE RIGHT SIDE IS GOING TO SHUT UP. YOU'RE GOING TO SHUT UP LIKE YOU'VE NEVER FUCKING SHUT UP IN YOUR LIFE.
WHILE YOU GUYS ARE SHUTTING UP, THE LEFT SIDE IS GOING TO SCREAM AS LOUD AS THEY CAN. AND THEN I'M GOING TO TELL THEM 'WOW, THAT IS THE MOST AWESOME THING I HAVE EVER HEARD!' AND THEN YOU KNOW WHAT THE RIGHT SIDE IS GONNA DO? THEY'RE GONNA LAUGH AT YOU. BUT DON'T LAUGH TOO HARD, BECAUSE THE LEFT SIDE IS GOING TO BE DOING THE EXACT SAME THING TO YOU IN JUST A MINUTE. AFTER THAT, THE RIGHT SIDE IS GOING TO SCREAM AS LOUD AS THEY CAN. THEN I'LL TELL THE THEM SIDE 'WOW, THAT IS THE MOST AWESOME THING I HAVE EVER HEARD!
AND THEN I THINK WE MIGHT- NO WAIT, I KNOW THAT WE'RE GOING TO GET SOME SORT OF COMPETITION GOING ON."

- Tobias #1 calling out the guy in the audience that flipped him off. Later coming back on stage to apologize about pointing the guy out.
- Holy shit Tobias #1's high kicks.
- Tobias #1 plays air guitar when Jens (Guitar) does solos.

Just about everything they did was great. I'm probably forgetting a bunch of the things they did. I seriously did not expect them to be so much fun in concert. They definitely blew Kamelot out of the water.

When Kamelot came on, they kind of came on without any introduction and just started playing. They also had a bunch of fancy lights and technical stuff that I've never seen any other band at Slims use. It really drew away from the music. I couldn't even see them half of the time due to the sheer amount of fog from the fog machines. What.
The sound guy also fucked up the first few of Kamelot's songs to the point where one of the guys in the audience basically went up to him and said something like "you've got to fix this shit. I can't hear them."
Which was true. I couldn't understand a thing that Khan was saying.
But oh sweet Jesus, Khan's voice on stage is identical to how he sounds on the albums. It's absolutely amazing. For a while I thought that he was lipsynching because it was so goddamn good. But after a while it became evident that he wasn't. His voice kind of started to falter.
And it turned out that he was performing with a fucking cold. And he still managed to sound exactly like he does in a recording. HODAMN. ~~Have I mentioned that I love his voice? Because I do.~~
Which brought on the some of the best lines of the night.

"Hold on! I gotta go blow my nose!"

Followed by:

"I have to warn all of you in the front row. You're kind of in the danger zone. You see, the last performance, I hocked up a loogie the size of fucking Texas on this one guy's face. Except I'm not sure if he noticed, because he kept on going '\m/ YEEEEEAAAAAAH' the whole time."

THAT WAS THE MOST METAL THING I HAVE HEARD IN MY ENTIRE LIFE.
After that, Kamelot seemed a lot friendlier and were more enjoyable. They also did some killer solos. Holy shit their drummer oh my god. And their keyboardist. Who Khan called "The Wizard", which made me think "WTF LOL NO. YOU KNOW WHO THE WIZARD IS? THE WIZARD IS FUCKING JORDAN FUCKING RUDESS MOTHERFUCKER." Because as awesome as their keyboardist was, he was no Rudess. He also fucked up some keys, but managed to get back into shape. Oh. And he played Carmen. ALSO OH MY GOD BASS SOLO. I wish more bassists would do solos. Especially bassists that awesome.

HOWEVER. KAMELOT? ILU GUYS. BUT PLEASE, PLEASE STOP SHOPPING AT HOT TOPIC AND GO GET SOME PROFESSIONALLY TAILORED COSTUMES OR SOMETHING IF YOU LIKE THE "GOTH" LOOK. Oh my god I am convinced that everyone in Kamelot was wearing absolutely everything from Hot Topic. Even their underwear probably came from Hot Topic. I could probably go look on the website and ancient Tripp and Lip Service collections and find every item of clothing they were wearing. And what the fuck, Khan went through like three coats. THREE. He was also wearing two shirts. And had a cold and was sweating incredibly and I thought sure that he was going to pass out a few times. Dude is fucking insane.

So yeah. That concert? Easily the best concert I've ever been to. I think it beats out the Dream Theater concert (which is my standard) just because Edguy was so fucking hilarious. I cannot wait to go see them next year. I really hope that they'll be the main attraction instead of just an opener, since they deserve to have so much more time! They were on for about an hour, and a good 15 or 20 minutes of it was them just having fun playing with the audience. It felt like they really cared about their fans and all of the people that were at the concert and it was just amazing.

Anyway, have a video of Edguy. I got lazy and haven't transfered any of the other pictures/videos, so I'll do that in a later post or something.
ETA: LJ keeps eating the photobucket video imbed code, so just click the link or something.

DETAILS, PICTURES AND VIDEO (UNFORTUNATELY SANS EATING OUT AT THE Y. LOL ILU EDGUY.) IN NEXT POST.

SO INSTEAD, HAVE THE ACTUAL LAVATORY LOVE MACHINE VIDEO, WHICH IS FUCKING PRICELESS.

Getting bored of this layout. Need to make a new one. I was wondering if any of you knew how to make a rotating header image?

Edit: What, scribbld doesn't have flexible squares?
You suck even more now.
ಠ_ಠ

Edit^2: Changed some shit. Still hate Scribbld's piss poor layout capabilities. AND WHY CAN I ONLY HAVE 100 TAGS. >:|
Anyway, Scribbld will not allow me my sexy rotating header image unless I am able to use custom css, and I can't really use custom css for the layouts I don't want. >:|
I mean, I could. If I found the style sheets. But honestly, I don't care that much, and if I found the custom style sheets, then I wouldn't have anything to complain about.
Anyway uh, go look?
astro astro astro

Also tried to make an intro post, but I just can't bring myself to offer up that much information. If you want to know anything, ask.

And on the 50th night...

2008-10-22T03:09:13Z

I'm bored and obviously not studying for my German midterm tomorrow, so have three beautiful instrumentals. Unfortunately, Mediafire is still being an absolute bitch and is now closing Firefox automatically whenever I try to upload something. (Is anyone else having this problem?)
So MU and RS for now, and if anyone wants a song (I doubt anyone downloads these, but I like sharing) and can't get MU or RS to work for them, let me know and I'll Sendspace it.
First one is one of my favourite songs ever.

Dream Theater - Stream of Consciousness

Have I uploaded this song before? Probably. I can't remember. This is a longass song, but it is definitely worth the listen. John Petrucci's guitar work is immaculate, and Rudess' keyboards at the end are just... Just listen to the goddamn song.

Nightwish doesn't even need a vocalist. Just let Toumas continue working with the London Philharmonic orchestra and everything will be just fine.

Holy shit, metal and cellos.

Oh my god, there's a different guy dubbing Kaga on Iron Chef for cabbage battle and just... PFFT. I can't even listen to him. He's like... trying to do this sexy purr/growl thing while sounding snooty and ahahahahaha WOW.

And um... Kaga? what are you wearing tonight? I approve of most of your outrageous outfits, but goddamn, it's like you're wearing some kid's laminated bib made into a vest.

Oh hell yes, Kamelot/Edguy concert on Saturday, followed by Apocalyptica on Monday.

I have been staying up until about 6 am playing Suikoden V for the past few nights. I have been fishing for ~~?pot~~ cash. Financing an army is srs bsns.

I am rather saddened that it will not let me decorate Georg's room. I swear I was able to decorate other character's rooms in previous incarnations of Suikoden. And Georg's room- It's empty. Like his SOUL.
O wait, wrong Konami game.

ARGH. Mein klasse auf Deutsch is three hours long, and about two of those hours consists of sitting around doing nothing. Time moves so slowly when nothing is happening. (I'm in class right now and able to use my PSP god damnit.)

FFFFFFF
I know where my PSP's priorities are. It'll let me access gurochan, but it won't load something as simple as gmail.

Thanks, PSP. You're a real help.

And on the 48th night...

You know what's a bad idea? Playing with a camera's shutter speed and aperture settings when you're not exactly sure how to change them and it is incredibly sunny out.
Friend on LJ wanted to see more of my dolls.

What the hell? It didn't focus on his face even though that's where I was focusing. At least his shirt looks nice?

I really hate full depth of field. Next time I'm just going to leave the aperture wide and up the shutter speed to high hell.

So um, hi, new people I just added. I have BJDs and I post photos of them. If they scare you, let me know and we can figure something out.

PFFTAHAHAHA

Copy and pasted from my LJ.
So my friend and I were dicking around on myspace (ololol I know. I have one. I have one to attract retarded goth kids, and that is exactly what I drag in.)

And I just got this.

Honestly, I would think it was a troll. But I added him out of pure curiosity, and there are 103 photos of him making essentially the same myspace angled pose over and over. Caps if anyone wants.
What.

BRB I'M LAUGHING SO HARD I'M CRYING.

EDIT: MORE. OH GOD.

He had a picture in his galleries with a really shitty drawing of his that said "I ♥ Jordan", so I asked him about it for der lulz.

WHAT DO I DO NOW?!

Edit: For the record, this is essentially the only picture of me on my myspace:

EDIT: BUT WAIT- THERE'S MORE

Funny, considering I've only known about his existence for about a half an hour.

What kind of question is "do u have a phone"? Wouldn't it be easier to ask for my number?
If he responds, I'll tell him that yes, I have a phone.

Edit:

It is my assumption that this poor child cannot read.

Edit: Shit just got even funnier. Two for the price of one!

Um. Wow.
Just.
Wow. This is an accurate representation of my face right now:
ಥ﹏ಥ
PFFFFFT.

Here's moar:

I honestly don't know how to respond to this one. On one hand, calling him and breathing heavily into the phone would be hilarious.
But then he'd have my number and that would really suck.
So I'm going to log out of myspace and make it look like I'm offline and possibly respond to him tomorrow if I can think up anything to say to him.
UNLESS PEOPLE HAVE IDEAS.

Summary: I get hit on by a 16 year old self professed "emo kid" from Oklahoma.
