Current Music: "The Pledge" by Dir en grey

I'm over my cravings now, so no worries. ^__^ I also changed some font sizes and table widths, so hopefully those of you who had trouble seeing my posts before can see them better now. Today was rather interesting to say the least. Jessie picked me up this morning and we got Kayla afterwards. We got to the school at around 7:35-ish and they let me out so I could change into the Tripp jeans in the restroom in school. You see, my mother wouldn't appreciate her innocent (pfft...) little daughter wearing that "Gothic stuff" in public, and she was home this morning, so she knew what I wore. *rolls eyes* I love those pants...I need to save money to try and get a pair for myself. =3 After that, everyone who was going to the critique loaded up into the vans. My van consisted of our teacher, Mrs. Harris, Kayla Susie (blech!), Jessie, Kayla, Hayworth, Kitti, and myself. I had Kitti listen to "Grief", "Agitated Screams of Maggots", and "Clever Sleazoid" to see what she thought of DIRU's new songs. She said she loved me and would pay money for me to burn her a copy. X3 I laughed and told her she didn't have to because I loved her so much. OMG! I almost forgot to mention this! Kitti and I were both wearing Tripp jeans, odd shoes, AND our zombie DIRU shirts! =D It was so cool...*ahem* When we got to the college, we gave the people who were setting up our pieces (mine was a surrealism painting...I'll try to remember to bring my camera to school tomorrow and take pictures of it and another of my paintings to show you guys), got our name tags, and picked out the tutorial schmingers we wanted to try. Jessie, Kayla and I picked the same ones so we wouldn't be alone. First we went to an embossed print-making tutorial. I made one of Kyo's kanji, a heart, and a little skull. X3 Next I had my critique with my group. My painting was one of the last ones we went over. The instructor guy said that over-all it was a good painting and he really liked how I used dull colors to make other dull shades come out. ...okay... After that, we went to the mall to eat lunch. I got a turkey breast 6" sub and a cookie from Subway. =D~ Holy cows...when I was waiting in line, I saw this girl that was a few yards away and I caught her eye; we were both wearing Dir en grey shirts!!! We grinned at each other and gave the thumbs up. I was really tempted to run up to her and tell her that she needed to be my friend. Kayla and I decided to pitch in a dollar each to get some crab Rangoon from a Chinese place. Oh, how I missed Chinese food...

Why can't REAL people be this incredibly adorable???

We headed back to the college and went to our next session, which for us was drawing. We drew something we liked from a still life set up in the middle of the room, then rotated to another person's drawing to add on to it. The last thing we did was use cow-sticks (these pastel/paint sticks that have a wax coating to keep it from drying out...farmers use them to mark cattle and pigs, hence the name) to draw on a mural. I drew an emo-boy. XD When we were done, we got to take whatever part of it we wanted home, and I gave the emo-boy to Jessie and she colored him in with black charcoal. Our next thing we went to was graphic design. We got to design our own company logo or some such thing...pretty boring, but the computers were really nice. ^^ After that, everyone had a group critique. It was really boring, and Kayla, Hayworth and I just sort of talked quietly to ourselves. :/ We got in the vans when we were done and Mrs. Harris had to stop at Walgreens to get something for her camera, so everyone got to go in and get anything we wanted. Kayla, Jessie, Kitti, and I each put in money to buy a pint of ice cream (2 for $4), and a bag of plastic spoons that we enjoyed on the way back to school. =D Mmm...Double fudge-brownie! We got back to the school without any incident and us ice cream buyers hung out in the bathroom while we waited for the bell to ring. Then I nearly tackled Austin as he was going to his locker, and slapped my name-tag on Yumi. XD So yeah, it was pretty fun! ^__^ And next Monday is the Woodbury County (the county my school is in) Art Conference, and there are ribbons and medals handed out for this one, along with the critique.

Much DIRU love in Iowa, yo!

Current Music: "Disabled Complexes” by Dir en grey

Well, I got my period today, and I'm having the WORST cravings I've ever had...fresh strawberries, watermelon, cantaloup, and honeydew...oh my god. They sound orgasmic. My FCS teacher was showing us how to wash and prepare vegetables, and she let us have carrots and broccoli that she cut, and holy buckets. I didn't think a carrot could taste so delicious in my life! And I was watching t.v. earlier, and they were talking about donuts...I really, really want one right now...I absolutely LOVE pudding-filled glazed donuts. I'm sorry if I'm making any of you hungry. Damn you hormones!!! This weekend was pretty boring besides going over to Yumi's house on Sunday afternoon. We played "Final Fantasy VIII", Yu-Gi-Oh! cards, and our respective Pokemon games, and watched IMF. It was good that we did that, because they had a video by the band MUCC, so I got some new Jrock goodness into my system. =D Ah! Chris and Ben stopped by and Ben asked Yumi to prom! So the three Musketeers are together for prom! Yumi and I had to tell Chris (after he was trying to get us to agree to leave during After-prom...-__-; ) that with us three in the same area, there's never such thing as the word "boring". And that is very true; either one of us is saying something really stupid, making fun of somebody for having a blonde moment, or we're trying to freak each other out. 'Tis great fun, yo. ^^

This dog was in a dream I had before, too...<3

Tomorrow is the art critique, and I'm borrowing Kayla's Trip pants and wearing my zombie DIRU shirt. They go well together because the pants are black and white and have skulls on the legs. Me so happy...those pants are so comfy. =D OMG! I had a Jrock-ish dream last night! I was in the school auditorium, only it was smaller and wasn't at the school. Jessie was sitting to my left and these preppy girls were to my right. Pretty soon, the radio we were apparently listening to (okay...) started to play "REGRET" by the GazettE. I gasped and made a note to tell Yumi and my friends on myO about this miracle. Yes, my brain actually did this...as if it really was happening. I look towards the stage (I'm in roughly the middle towards the front), and Kyo is there, jamming out with Ruki! I'm not sure what exactly they were doing, but it was implied that they were performing various songs. And the odd thing was, there was no equipment, or any of their band mates were there, just them. I spazzed out and screamed that this was the best first concert ever. The preps by me were saying that it was dumb, so I told them they should just leave if they don't like it. That shut them up. Soon, Ruki turns to Kyo and asks (in very adorable Engrish) him what they were going to do next, and Kyo replied (in Kyo-grish) that he would have to wait and see. Then, my brain decided to switch vision angles and style, so that it looked like I was watching a poorly made home movie or something. Kyo was there, wearing this really awesome black hoodie with red flames on the front sides. Shinya and the rest of DIRU start talking to him, and I squeed at Shinya appearing, causing Jessie to laugh at me. That scene then switches to what looks like a photo shoot for Dir en grey, and they're standing together against a silvery background, like in the "SAKU" photo shoot, only they all had their shirts off. And it was weird, because it was mainly focusing on Kyo, but the others were still there. And any tattoos looked black and red...After that, the scene moved on to these two men I've never seen before in my life. One of them was talking on a cell phone and he had black facial hair along his jaw-line, and I can't remember to clearly what the other man looked like, but the one on the cellphone was saying something about "shutting the play down", and somebody mentioned something about Kanon from An Café... My brain was then very courteous and made up a (very lame) explanation that what I was watching was a play that I was directing. Um...okay brain...O.o Then I did the stupidest thing in the world: I woke up and looked at my alarm clock. *facepalm* WTF is my problem??? Oh yeah...I forgot to mention that in speech, I get to inform the class about Visual Kei! =3

Mana: My own personal brain stalker. =D

   You fight dirty, phone...

Current Music: "Grief” by Dir en grey

This week has turned out to be pretty good. We didn’t have school Monday for a teacher in-service thing, Tuesday a man and woman came to talk to us about preventing serious injuries to our spinal cord and head. The man (I really wish I could remember his name...he was really nice) was a paraplegic, and he got that way by not wearing his seatbelt on his way home one night. Yesterday was the school play matinee, so we got out early to watch it. They’ve had better plays, but what I liked about it, was that most of it was improv from lack of knowing lines. XD Today was a normal day: In Health we practiced CPR on a manikin. In Geometry we learned how to find the surface area of pyramids (I almost got all of the assignment done, too! =D). In Intro to FCS, we baked a pizza crust and tomorrow we’ll be putting the toppings on and eating it. In English, our counselor was telling us about these programs we’ll be doing that involve our futures and college...even though I already know fairly well where I want to go. Lunch was lunch...only not quite as perverted as usual. In Biology we were supposed to be dissecting clams, but our teacher was gone, so we watched a movie about reptiles instead. After the movie, we were messing around and Austin was laying on the floor by my desk. I poked him on the side, making his arm jerk backwards, causing him to slam his elbow into the leg of my desk. He said his whole hand went numb, and I apologized crazily like I usually do when I accidentally cause someone to get hurt. He went back to his previous position, and I, thinking he wouldn’t do the same thing again, poked him in the side again. Well...I was wrong. He did the same thing, only harder. I felt so bad...I hugged him and said I was sorry for the umpteenth time. In P.E. we played a game called Pickleball, or something like that...it’s like a giant game of ping-pong using a wiffle-ball and larger paddles. Jessie and I pretty much messed around the whole time when we played ping-pong, and using our “mind of the Asian” for the Pickleball. XD Yes, we are crazy. Speech was boring, but we’re finally going to do speeches. The first one we get to do is an informative speech. I’ve been thinking about talking about Dir en grey for it, or possibly Ganesa guitars...I’m not sure yet.

Ganesa!!!!!! *LUFF* One of Kaoru’s, no less! =3

Hey, in speaking of guitars, I entered a contest on Hottopic.com where you can win a guitar signed by DIRU. I doubt I’ll win, but it’s worth a shot, right? And for those of you who love Japanese fashion, I found the perfect site: it’s called Lolita Kisama, and it kicks ass. They sell all sorts of Lolita-style and Vkei-style things...like an awesome Kyo face mask. I’ve seen several necklaces that I love, too. So check it out if you want. Oh, and I’ll be adding the next chapter to my DIRU fanfic, if anyone is interested. ^^ Ah, and I’m glad you guys found the horoscope thingie interesting!

You know, Yumi and I always say these stupid things that are great for post titles, but I can never remember them...
Post time: 11:10a.m. CT
Current Music: "Drop it Like it's Hot" by Snoop Dogg (There is a reasonable explanation for this...a Miyavi fanvid set to this song...and because Miyavi is a pimp, biatch)

I'm glad you guys enjoyed my little fangirl post last time. I adore a lot more people than that, but those three were my absolute favorites. And now to answer the only question anybody asked me (from my dear SushiSamurai =D): I haven't had the time to watch the grass grow, so I don't really know. X3 Yumi and I got pretty freaked out the other day when Kaysi (annoying girl in our class), showed us this horoscope thingie in Biology. It told you who would be best as your "Best Bud" and "Best Match". Austin asked for his (he's a Capricorn =D), and Kaysi told him that Taurus (Yumi's sign) would be his "Best Bud", and Virgo (my sign) would be his "Best Match". All three of us just looked at each other and Austin asked me when we were going to have sex. XD He always says dumb-ass things like that, and it's all in good fun, so we occasionally play along with it. You see, we are both still virgins, so he thinks it would be amusing if we were each others' first. Oh, how I would love that...*ahem* Of course, I haven't even had my first kiss yet, so I'm not at all surprised at the whole virgin thing. I don't mind it, either...it's not really the end of the world. I actually probably know more about sex and stuff like that, than most people. It sorta' scares me...O.o And when Kayla and Austin asked me who my first kiss was with, they were shocked when I said I hadn't had one yet. Kayla got the idea in her head that at prom Chris and I should kiss...*twitch shudder twitch vomit* That is about the nastiest thing I've ever heard...Chris and I are just friends and only friends, it goes no further than that. He is about as far away from my type of guy as you could get...*twitches some more* I would rather have my first kiss be with somebody whom I love...preferably a Jrocker, but we can't be too choosy. XD I bet Miyavi is a really good kisser...

...and butterfly kisses from Intetsu!!! *swoon* ^///^

I had an interesting dream last night...In it, I was at this old mansion with my dad and some other people. I can't really remember who else was there exactly...-__-; Anyway, aparantly I had this new power to transform into a werewolf at will. When I got too out of hand and couldn't control myself, I had to eat this wild rice, or eat a small silver pellet (which, I would think, would have killed me...). They asked me to try and transform, so I made the atempt. I could feel this burning sensation in my stomach that eventually branched out, and I could hear my bones cracking and re-adjusting, and soon I was standing in the middle of the room as a werewolf. Later on, I was talking with my grandma Myrna about it, and she said that some of my past relatives could do the same, too. (I blame most of that dream on the "Hellboy" movie that was on Cartoon Network last night...and a little "Naruto" as well...XD) My other dream was a little after that, and I aparantly could still turn into a werewolf. I was in this weird room that resembled a hospital room (I blame "Patch Adams" for that...I watched that yesterday, too) with my brother, but it was in a mall. I freaked out and hid everytime anybody walked past the entrance of the room. Eventually my brother coaxed me to go out, so I did and walked down a hallway into what looked like Younker's. In the middle of the walkway was a little stand with these Dir en grey ( =D ) DVD's or videogames, not sure which. I spazzed out and got a copy then when I looked up, my school's secretary, Coleen, was motioning for me to follow her. So I did, but it seemed I was moving really slow, or she was moving really fast...She led me to the prom dress area and was showing me ones that she thought would look good on me. I just sorta went along with it and eventually left her. I opened the DIRU case and was looking at the booklet and decided to flip the cover picture so that this yummylicious picture of Kyo was on the front. Then it was implied that I went home and called Yumi and told her about it. XD

Here's some interesting stuff about Virgos (August 23-September 22) that I have in a book I own. It's by a psychic (I don't care if you believe in that stuff or not, but I do) woman named Sylvia Browne: "The Virgo, known as 'the Virgin,' is promiscuous. Virgos are also known as 'the whores of the zodiac.' Whenever I say that to Virgos, they say, 'Yeah, that's right!' Any other sign says, 'Oh, no!' Virgos are promiscuous, but they have a prudish exterior. They are very sexually oriented, but they have an immense ability to sublimate this sexual energy. They can redirect it, thank God!...Virgos are very good with people, but they have to be absolutely sure of what they're doing. They need to be 'on top' of everything, but they do need prodding...When upset, Virgos are the slow, smoldering type. When in repose, they look unhappy or pensive. That's why a Virgo gets very aggravated, because people are always asking them, 'Are you mad?' They are retentive in just about all areas, with a file-cabinet mind, especially when they have been hurt...They will let their children walk all over them...But no one else walks over them. And be careful of what you say around a Virgo; they can get upset over some off-the-cuff remark. That's how sensitive they are. The Virgo will reply, 'I know it's not your fault, but you hurt me anyway.' So don't say unflattering things to a Virgo, such as 'Your nose does not fit your face.' A Virgo is also multifaceted,...and this leads them to need many people around them. Both the male and female Virgo can be faithful to two or three at one time. Yes, it's true! And you cannot tell Virgos that they don't love all three of those people, because they do with all their hearts! They love totally...They have very defined laughs--usually high-pitched and somewhat hysterical. And they cry easily when pleased or provoked. They have a tremendous vanity streak, which stems from insecurity. Make fun of them, and you have an enemy for life; compliment them, and you have a friend for life. You cannot just flatter them, but given an honest statement, they will accept it."

I would write more, but there's still several more pages...maybe a chunk every post? If anybody wants, I can PM them their horoscope information from my book...it may take some time, and several messages, but I can get it to you. ^^ I chose the stuff out of the beginning of the Virgo section that I thought really matches me. Hopefully that will help you guys understand my personality a little more...maybe? And I’m not a whore. X3 Also, sorry for the long-ass post...Mmmmm...orange-pinapple juice. =D

   Mmmm...Fandom
Post time: 8:47a.m. CT
Current Music: "Cassis" by the GazettE (OMFG, I love this song so much! And the video is really pretty, too!!!)

I decided to compile a list of my most loved Jrock fandoms, and why I can't help but SQUEE every time I see a picture/watch a video/hear their music! This took awhile to finish, and it really made me think about who I really swoon over, and why I can't help but do so. So...enjoy! o(>w<)o

-Miyavi-

Band: Currently a solo artist/sings and plays guitar (mostly)
Physical: Ah...so many things about Miyavi physically that I love! For starters, his eyes; he has a pair of the prettiest eyes I've ever seen. They hold so much emotion in them, whether it be happiness, sadness, or just plain sexiness, you can see it reflecting in his eyes. His smile is also very attractive! He has such a dorky smile, you can't help but want to laugh when you see it. And his stomach! It's not flabby, but it's not extremely buffed out either...it's flat with slight bumps and make you want to poke them. X3 Oh my god...and his ass...he has such a nice butt! Yes, it rivals that of Gackt's...it looks nice no matter what he's wearing! And then there's the way he plays guitar...it looks spasmodic, but the sounds created when he plays are one of a kind. He's especially gifted with the acoustic guitar, I think. He can make so many rhythmic sounds with the instrument, it's hard to believe they're coming from one object.
Personality: Miyavi has such a sweet personality. He can be a total dork and be totally random at times, but there are times when he's serious, and it makes you pay attention to what he has to say. I guess you can't really know how caring and sweet he can be unless you've read some of his journal entries...some of the things he writes in them just make your heart ache because he puts so much care into what he wants to say to his fans. That's another thing: he truly cares about his fans! There are so many times that he's apologized to us in his journal, or mentioned how special he feels when he gets fanmail from all of us all over the world! *sigh*

-Shinya-

Band: Dir en grey/drummer
Physical: Shinya is just simply gorgeous, no "if"'s, "and"'s or "but"'s about it! He can be prettier than most women at times, but he can still pull off masculine charm! That alone is worth at least a paragraph! His lips are wonderful...every little curve in the way his mouth is formed turns me into mushy-fangirl-putty. And his hair! Omigosh! His hair is so pretty...I really would like to meet him just to pet his hair to feel if it's as soft as it looks. The way he plays the drums is simply awe-inspiring. You wouldn't expect such a thin person being capable of playing the drums so expertly, but he does so in a very elegant manner.
Personality: Shinya seems so sweet and kind, even when being teased and taunted by the other members of Dir en grey. One of the pictures I've seen that shows how sweet he can be is of one at a FYE booth at (I'm assuming) a Family Values Tour venue. He's shaking the hand of this little old lady in a wheel-chair. It's so adorable to see! And I think you would have to be fairly gentle to have a chihuahua, too. He shows nothing but love and care towards his Miyu, and I think that reflects how he would treat anybody he truly loves.

-Intetsu-

Band: Ayabie/bassist
Physical: The first thing that I notice in any picture of Intetsu is his eyes. I think he has the beautiful eyes out of any Jrocker. Whether he's wearing colored contacts or not, his eyes leave me breathless at times. The shape of his face is also a major attraction because it isn't as round as most Japanese faces are. And his hair frames his face perfectly! He's had his hair so many different colors between blonde to pink to blue to green and as of now, a soft honey brown color. I would have to say my favorite hair stage is when he had it black with his bangs blonde. He usually wears my favorite color, blue, too. And almost all of his clothes shows off his flat, yummy tummy with it's belly-button pierced-ness. But no matter what he's wearing, he pulls it off wonderfully. I would have to say the thing about Intetsu that makes me all giddy and happy, is his smile. He usually doesn't smile in photo shoots, so you have to look to pictures from lives, backstage, and off-shoots to see it. Even then, though, he doesn't smile a whole lot, so when he does, it's genuine and truly beautiful. And when he plays the bass! Oh my gosh! He's so elegant when he plays...
Personality: Intetsu has such a sweet, polite, and kind demeanor. He's very prince-like, if I do say so myself. He loves milk-tea and his bunny-rabbit, Maron-kun. But he also loves his band mates, as well. In any comment videos I've seen, he's always having a good time and laughing with them. And he doesn't smoke! He's a healthy young man! He also cooks, and loves eating at cafes. I could see him sitting at a Starbuck's enjoying a cup of specially made milk-tea, reading a book. Another thing I love about him, is that he's so carefree. He doesn't worry about a lot of things like others might. And in any of his blog posts that I've been able to read, he's always thanking the fans and expressing his gratitude to them.


I've always wondered...is there anything you guys want to ask me? About anything...my personal like/dislikes, whatever...it doesn't matter. Just ask me something and I'll answer you in my next post! Besides that, this week has been pretty boring...except for Kayla's grandpa's death. He died Wednesday night because of his cancer spreading to his liver and kidneys. I didn't cry when I heard the news, but I think that's just because I accepted that he was going to die because of the cancer, so I knew he was going to pass away, just not when. I honestly hoped he would soon because I didn't want him to suffer like he had been. So, whether you believe in Heaven or whatever, I'm know he's in a better place than our mortal realm...what a way to close a post, ne??? No, it's not the end yet (sorry...)! I'm glad you guys thought my dress was pretty! I really like it. ^^ Oh, I'm going to be able to go to an art critique the 28th of this month, so I'm looking forward to it. I'm going to be taking my surrealism painting...I would take a picture of it to show you guys, but it's currently at school. ^-^' Now I'll leave off...Sorry for such a long post...Bai bai!!! *huggles*

   We're going to tomorrow with Miyavi, okay Mum?
Post time: 10:24p.m. CT
Current Music: "CLEVER SLEAZOID" by Dir en grey

OMFG...today was sooooo much fun!!!! (o >w<)o Though, it probably should say 'yesterday' because of the lateness of this post...Yumi and I finally got to go to the mall today!!! *dances Miku-style* It was a rough ride there and back though because of all the snow from the blizzard we got this week. We got so much snow we didn't have school Thursday or Friday. =D But anyhoo...we picked up Yumi before we headed to the city to take my mom to work. And it's a good thing she had to work today, or we wouldn't have been able to go! Thank Pink God! *worship worship* My dad dropped us off, and we scurried off to FYE to find teh DIRU goodness. We got there and an Asian guy was working, so we figured that was at least a good omen...nope. At first we looked in the Pop/Rock section and didn't find it, so we almost decided to give up. Then we were looking at some stuff on the wall an aisle back, and I was looking at the CDs in that section...the Heavy Metal section. >=3 My eyes wandered, and I saw the Dir en grey card-slot-thingie. I poked Yumi in the arm and we scurried over to look. They had one copy of "Withering to Death", 3 copies of the "Agitated Screams of Maggots" single...and no "THE MARROW OF A BONE". D'= We cursed at FYE then went to Game Stop and bowed to the glorious Nintendo Wii on display and oogled at the pretty "Lengend of Zelda: Twilight Princess" video playing on the TV. We left there and (after seeing a sign with guy that looked like an Asian Kevin Pehrerah...) made our way to our beloved Hot Topic.

Nice Lady was working today, so we were happy. =3 We looked at some clothes that looked like h.Naoto would sell, then went over to the CDs. I looked all over the place, then this black square with a parental advisory on it in the new CDs section caught my eye. I picked it up and Yumi and I squeed: It was "TMOAB"!!!! I took my copy and squeed some more and Miku-danced...in our little corner of Hot Topic. X3 We had noticed that the magazine section wasn't were it usually was when we were looking for the new DIRU shirt (which it turned out they didn't have...D'=), but soon found it further along the wall. I began looking for the January issue of Cure with Ayabie on the cover, when Nice Lady came over (we were the only people in the store at the time...) and pointed out that we liked Dir en grey. We nodded vigorously in agreement, then she asked if we bought Cure a lot. Yumi told her I was the one who usually bought the magazine, and we continued looking. Nice Lady began looking through another row of the magazines, and there was Shoxx in the back...the Miyavi issue I already have, thanks to Yumi, and the new February issue with An Cafe on the cover. We squeed even more and I snatched a copy. X3 We checked out our stuff and wandered around the mall some more after eating. We went to Younker's so that I could look for a prom dress, and we saw a really pretty black lacey one that was Gothic Lolita-esque. We went to the arcade afterwards and played "Time Crisis 4", a DDR rip-off, and "Tekken 4". After that, we went to read for the last few hours we had at Barnes & Noble. I looked through a guide to Pokemon LeafGreen, and then read the first volume of a manga called "Chibi Vampire". It was really good! ^__^ It's about this vampire-girl and her family who live in Japan, only she doesn't have normal vampire powers...instead of sucking blood, she GIVES blood, which energizes her "victims". The story is really cute, and the artwork is pretty, too. ^__^ On the way back to Younker's where we were supposed to meet my parents, we saw a guy who had a grill. Y'know, the shiny dimonds and what-not in the mouth grill? Yeah, it was frick'n awesome. We waited by the entrance for a good 15 minutes for my parents, which caused us to come up with an interesting day dream about Miyavi running by and us freaking out and chasing after him like the crazed fangirls we are. X3 We decided that if he was at the mall, and we did find him, we would drag him to all our stores and spazz out with him and he would take us back to Japan with him. X3 Oh, that would be lovely...a lady asked who we were, and she said she had a phone call for me. It was my mom saying my dad got stuck trying to leave our house, so they would be late. So, Yumi and I ran around the mall a little longer and burst out laughing when we saw Grill Man again. When my parents finally got there, we went to try on and buy my dress. I didn't get the black lacey one that I wanted because my boobs were to big and the dress was too small, so I got a different black one. XD Here's a piccy of it =3:

And...

Proof Miyavi is a secret ninja sent to take over the United States...Dir en grey are ninjas, too. *nod nod*

   Gazetto! =D
Post time: 6:19p.m. CT
Current Music: "REGRET" by the GazettE

Sorry for the absence on MyO lately...I haven't had the chance to get on because my parents are being total butts about it. =P Before I get into my weekend, how do you like the new theme for this month? It's the GazettE for any who aren't familiar with the band. ^^ I decided since spring is (supposed to be...) on its way, I would use a new band for the layout! =D And since GazettE is one of the newest bands I've grown to adore and love, I used them. I'm glad that you guys liked my DIRU chibis. That was a different style than I usually use for my chibi doodles, so it was nice to use a different style for once.

Okay, now for my weekend report: Unfourtionately, Yumi and I didn't get to go to the mall on Sunday like we had hoped, so we didn't get "TMOAB". D'= I DID get to spend the night Saturday, however. We had a lot of fun looking through the old stuff I had left at the house since her grandparents had lived there. I had a crap-load of my Pokemon cards and old drawings from 4th-5th grade in shoeboxes. OMG...that was rather interesting. Especially the fact that when we were young EVERY girl we drew had extremely large busts, extremely tight shirts, and tiny waists. @__@ After that, we played "Final Fantasy VII" and watched IMF, a freaking awesome international music channel that has played Miyavi and An Cafe videos before. Even though none of those artists were shown, I still greatly enjoyed it. ^.^ The only thing that made the weekend horrible, besides not being able to go to the mall, was that I was sick with another nasty cold. It was so bad I didn't go to school Monday. I'm not one who usually gets really sick, so I usually don't miss a lot of school, but I've found that ever since I've gotten out of the hospital, I've been getting sick more often...maybe it's just my imagination...I'm recovering, though, so no worries. =D Oh! Much kudos to Momo for the info on DIRU in her post yesterday! If I wouldn't have read that, I would have missed Kaoru and Toshiya on "Steven's Untitled Rock Show" yesterday! Even though I only go to see the last half hour because I got on late. ;__; Steven pretty much asked them relatively common questions that any (true) fan would know, like "What does 'Dir en grey' mean?" and "What is visual kei?" The only question I didn't really know for sure the answer of was how they got involved with the Warcon record lable. But like I said, it was only Kaoru and Toshiya plus their translator, Nora. XD As soon as I turned it to Fuse, I called Yumi and told her she had better be watching it becuase DIRU was on. So yeah, we both freaked out over it. XD We were sad that Kyo, Shinya, and Die weren't on, though. I wonder why...and "anti-social" is not a liable excuse! And for those of you who were curious, here's a nice piccy of Meevs and his new hair.

Current Music: "Redemption" by Gackt

Holy crap...I was as happy as could be yesterday after school...I was watching the music channel, Fuse, to see if I could spot a commercial I caught a glimps of Thursday. I kept on watching, and then I saw it: An FYE Dir en grey commercial advertising "THE MARROW OF A BONE". I squeed and jumped up and down after it was over I was so excited. Apparently it's on sale for $9.99, too! o(>w<)o The commercial itself was clips from the "CLEVER SLEAZOID" video...with a cockroach riding a little white rocking horse. Aw...Anywho, Yumi ended up seeing it too, so we spazzed out over the phone about it's awesomeness. We'er supposed to go to the mall tomorrow to go get it at either Hot Topic or FYE, but those chances aren't looking very good right now...it's supposed to snow and rain this evening and tomorrow. ;___; Stupid weather...but my mom and dad said that if we can't go this weekend, they could take Yumi and I next weekend. =D It's not the same as this weekend, but at least we're sure to be able to go and get it. We were going to see if I could spend the night at her house tonight so her dad wouldn't have to go get me at my house, too...Foofy...D=

On a happier note, it's Shinya-kun's birthday! Yay! Happy Birthday Shinya-kun!!!

I hope you don't get overwhelmed with presents at the concert tonight.

Heh...Sunday is my dad's birthday, too! Man, this month has been busy! Oh! Some Miyavi news! He had a lot of fun at his show in Las Vegas, but couldn't get any sleep because his manager was snoring. XD In his journal entry, he wrote a lot in English, and it was really good! But despite that, at the end he wrote, "Sorry for my poor Englishit" You do not have shitty English!!! If anything, it's the best I've seen in a long time! But I'm glad that he enjoyed finally being able to do a live. ^^ But unfourtonalty, he's not planning on doing anymore overseas stuff in the near future. D'= That makes me sad...Well, I suppose when he gets around to coming back to the U.S., I'll have a better chance of going to a concert, right? But he's loyal to him home, and I'm not going to complain about it. Oh, man...I saw a few pictures from a fan who went to the concert...wow, his hair is really long! It's like it was in the "Selfish Love" video, only longer, and with red-ish streaks. O.o Well, I'm gonna' leave off here and go visit sites! Bai bai!

*giggle giggle* Eyepatch...

   Maggots...

Current Music: "Home" by Three Days Grace

Weee Hump Day! XD Though it seems more like a Tuesday for me because I didn't have school Monday. Hm...it's also Ash Wednesday, so we had fish for lunch (which our school's fish is extremely nasty >__<)...only I didn't eat. In 3rd period, my Intro to Family Consumer Sciences class, we got to cook. And we made chocolate-chip pancakes!!! =D The two freshman boys that were part of my group wanted them to cook faster, so they turned the burner up higher than it needed to be and we almost burt half of them. XD And of course I can't pour the batter right, so the ones I did looked like oval-like blobs. I tried to turn one too early and ended up deforming the poor thing. D'= After everyone had their's cooked, we got to eat them and I tried something new with them. I but peanut butter on my pancakes instead of regular butter (part of the reason being the butter was still hard from being in the refrigerator...), plus maple syrup. I don't think I've ever tasted anything that tasted so good together! You would think it would be really sweet, but the peanut butter sort of nullified it because it stuck to your mouth so much. Ah, but it was heavenly...Plus a nice glass of cold milk to wash it all down. Oh, simply orgasmic. I could see Miyavi eating his pancakes like that, too. XD So at lunch everyone glared at me for not eating until I explained why. Then they were jealous. XD In biology yesterday, we watched this video where a woman got a Bot fly maggot pulled out of her scalp. =D Yummy! Yumi and I have come to the conclusion that Kyo is trying to subliminally contact us: Instance #1) Studying worms (both parasitic and free-living) in biology, which involve MAGGOTS. Connection= "Agitated Screams of Maggots" (or "ASoM" as we fondly call it ^^), and the tendancy for horribly gross things in Dir en grey videos. Instance #2) While at her mom's last weekend, Yumi found half of a MAGGOT crawling across the floor under the table. She named it Chibi Kyo. XD Connection= The "ASoM" PV, and the song as well. Instance #3) The MAGGOT in the woman's head. Connecton= DIRU's odd videos and, once again, "ASoM". Do I need to continue? I think there was more stuff, but I completely forget about them. XD But the video only made us enjoy our little inside joke more when the announcer dude said "Suffocation. By petrolium jelly." when the doctor was trying to get the maggot to come out, and "Number 101 of the weirdest things taken out of the human body: Maggots." OMG...we laughed our asses off. The only other person who might understand this is Momo, because it ties into the comic I sent her.

I hope you're proud of your little minions, Kyo, you sexy thing you...

One thing I've learned today: Austin couldn't read Roman numerals to save his life. Remember when I told you he was going to give me his copy of "Final Fantasy XII"? Yeah...he gave the game to me today an it turned out to be "Final Fantasy X-2", which I have already played and beaten. XD Kalya, Yumi and I sort of just looked at him, even after he walked away, then we laughed. *sigh* Oh well, I'll eventually be able to borrow it from Kayla unless I get it on my own. Now we all have "FFX-2"! XD Heh...I've been watching the fourth season of "Digimon" on Toon Disney in the mornings before I get on the bus. I really love that anime, even if it is old and for little kids. That's the season with the different elemental spirits that the human kids turn into. I think at one time I was typing a continuation of it as a fanfic, but I deleted it a long time ago. I wonder when the next season is going to air...Ah! Yumi and I might be going to the mall Sunday to go get "THE MARROW OF A BONE"! So help me, if they don't have it, there will we hell to pay...then I'll rebound by buying a new issue of Cure if they have it. Hey...it'll be the issue with Ayabie on the cover, too! =D Oh, and aparantly, "THE MARROW OF A BONE" is supposed to be at any FYE's, too. Gee, thanks for tellin' us now, Myspace people who run a DIRU fan-page... Okay, I'm getting scatter-brained, so I'll stop here. XD

Oh yeah, I'm hard core man...XD Anywho, this is my favorite character on the fourth season, Kouji Minamoto. ^^

Current Music: "Marry of the Blood" by D'espairs Ray

Happy Be-lated Kaoru’s Birthday! o(^O^)o

I messed up his kanji horribly...-__-;

I hope everyone had a fairly decent weekend. Mine was pretty busy. Saturday my family headed into Sioux City. My mom had to work, and since we would have to go get her a few hours later, we just stayed in the city. I stayed with my mom while my brother’s went to go get haircuts, then I went with them to go get lunch. I got two Taco John’s soft tacos...Yum! =3 After that, I went to get a card at the Hallmark down the strip-mall for my cousin. I talked with my mom some more when I got back because my brothers and dad went to Menards. They got back and we all waited for a few minutes until my mom could leave and then we went to Target (where muh daddy works! X3). We stopped and visited with one of his co-workers who hadn’t seen my brothers and I since we were little, then we walked around. I didn’t get to get anything the last time we were at Target when everyone else did, so my parents bought me “Pokemon: Leaf Green”...cuz I’m a little kid like that. XD I think my dad wanted to embarrass me, because he wanted me to go up to this younger employee (about my age and cute...) and ask him to get the game out of the case for me. And I did ask, and I was brave, if I do say so myself! We also bought “Flika”, because my mom is a Tim McGraw fangirl, and we’ve been wanting to see it. Hm...maybe fangirl-dom comes from our mothers...do any of you know of a celebrity that your mom is obsessed with? It would be interesting to see the results...After Target, we went to Kohl’s to return a coat, but ended up buying a bunch of stuff. I looked around the junior’s section and didn’t really see anything that sparked my interest, so I tailed my parents and brothers in the boy’s section. We went past the junior men’s part, and I saw some really awesome zip-up hoodies with AC/DC, Jimi Hendrix, and some other random rock n’ roll stuff, which launched me into how awesome I thought Ganesas are, and how it was Kaoru’s birthday. XD Then we went to the shoes, and I found the most awesome pair in the world (besides Kyo’s white ones or Miyavi’s flower-print ones). They were black with hot pink PENGUINS all over. OMFG...I grabbed a box with my size and jumped up and down in front of my mom, telling her how awesome they were. They were on sale, so she got them for me, even though she thought they were ugly. ;__; So anyway, that was my Saturday.

Yesterday was my cousins D.J. and Katie’s birthday party at their Grandma Teresa’s house in North Sioux, so we drove up there, me wearing my pimp-ass penguin shoes. >3 D.J...or should I say Deb as she now wants to be called...introduced me to her friend Ashley who was there. We ate cheese qesadillas and enchiladas for lunch, then went down stairs to hang out. I ended up drawing for them, both being amazed at how well I drew. I got really close to Ashley, too; she’s 14, but likes Hot Topic and a lot of the same music I like, and we both hate preppy people! She fell in love with me because I knew that AFI stands for A Fire Inside, and I drew her a monkey. XD We went upstairs so that my cousins could open their presents, then we had cake. After that, we were trying to hide from the little kids that kept followings up and were generally being annoying. Oh! Teresa had one of the CUTEST dogs I’ve ever seen! She was pretty much a chihuahua, but with slightly longer hair. She was all black with a blotch of white on the front of her muzzle, and on one of her back paws. I kneeled down and she came over to me so that I could pet her. She was sooooo adorable!!!! o(>w<)o It made me want a chihuahua even more than before! But I still want to get a big dog, too, like a German Shepard, husky, or malamute. The perfect big dog for me would probably be either a Shepard, or a Shepard-malamute mix. The reasons for that being that when I was little, my grandparents had a German Shepard named Max that I used to love to play with him, and also, my great-grandma had a Shepard-malamute mix named Spartacus, and he looked just like a wolf. I don’t think I have to say why, but the reason for the chihuahua is because Shinya has Miyu, and she’s extremely adorable. A papillon would work, too!
