After tomorrow I'll have been down to London 4 times in the past 6 months just for Jrock gigs xD Really can't wait til tomorrow night though! Been wanting ABS to come to the UK ever since they started out, so this is a pretty special one 8D It's gonna be so awesome! Still can't quite believe it, but it'll soon be here ^^ Also can't wait to see everyone again - especailly Dodo as I have your birthday prezzies ;) Happy Birthday, girl! 8D *dances* So, leifang666 and doraichan and everyone else who's going, see you tomorrow! 8D ..Also, why on earth have I still not got an ABS icon?

OMG!! Finally!! 8D [{Fri} 10.16.09 @ 2:59pm ] [ mood | ecstatic ] [ music | Miyavi - ashita, genki ni naare ]     I really should be getting on with tidying/clearing out my room, but I just have to do this!! I had a quick break to check my emails seeing as my laptop is on for music anyways, and my heart about jumped out of my chest a few minutes ago... I've finally got my confirmation email from C.W.I.F. and can now log into all the member sections of Miyavi's site! 8D I joined a few days after the club opened at the start of the month, but sooo many people joined all at once it's taken ages for people to get confirmations XD *does happy dance* Will have to restrain myself for now though and get my room finished...but I'm itching to have a look around on the site and read Miyavi's blog first hand for a change, and see all the photos people talk about but don't share XD Been dying to get that email so I can have the site to keep me going 'til we all get sent our first tings in the mail... 8D Gah, back to the cleaning for now... ~ MYV382TOKYO LOVE ~ 1 danced to {Bright Life}

Best week ever coming right up? :D [{Mon} 10.5.09 @ 11:56am ] [ mood | happy ] [ music | LM.C - 88 ] Man, I suck at updating this thing. It's been almost a month since my last entry! :O Let's try this again, ne? I'm really looking forward to this week as a whole, as of yesterday I have 5 whole days off work :D And seeing my wonderful koibito on all 5 days~ It's gonna be so lovely :) Yesterday we went out for a walk in Hucknall/Linby, it was a bit chilly but the weather was lovely ^^ We walked all the way to the top of some hills overlooking Hucknall, and found an awesome statue of a man and a dog! XD I've no idea what that's all about, but I thought it was pretty cool so... ( Silly photo time! :D ) So, day 1 of my week off was really nice :) I've got loads to do today though before we go to London tomorrow :D Staying at Darren's tonight so we can be up mega early and get our coach at 8:30 am DX It'll be worth it though! Can't wait to see Miyavi tomorrow night~! It's come round so fast :O Be prepared for more silly posts and pic-spams after the rest of this week XD It's gonna be fun~ <3 hehe ^^ 3 danced to {Bright Life}

An apres midi au paris... <3 [{Wed} 9.9.09 @ 7:07pm ] [ mood | excited ] [ music | Malice Mizer - Premier Amour ] I can't believe in 12 hours time I'll be well on my way to Paris 8D I really can't wait now! *dances* I have my case packed full of loli clothes ready by the door lol, and can't wait to finally wander around Paris for a few days and take it all in *_* The day I'm really looking forward to the most though is friday, when I'll be in Versailles all day, fulfilling my dream of visiting the Chateau <3 I'll be back on monday with plenty of photos and stories to tell, so I guess I'll update again then! Au revoir~! ^^ 1 danced to {Bright Life}

きれい ばら <3 [{Wed} 9.2.09 @ 10:03pm ] [ mood | loved ] [ music | LM.C - Oh My Juliet ] When I finished work yesterday afternoon, this is the lovely surprise I had given to me :) It's not every day someone buys you roses. Hell, I don't remember the last time anyone brought me flowers to be honest, it's been that long. So I wanna remember this :) I know at the end of the day to most people flowers are flowers, and this is probably a silly little thing to make an entry about. But you know what? I don't care...'Cause these are special to me <3 I know you're probably reading this Darren, and I don't care about that either :p lol. You made my week even more awesome with these pretty pink roses, and every time I see them now I'll be happy 'cause they'll make me think of you :) Thank you so much my darling~ <3 5 danced to {Bright Life}

The news Miyavi fans have been holding their breath for all month has finally arrived... [{Thu} 7.30.09 @ 12:42am ] [ mood | ecstatic ] [ music | Miyavi - Aho Matsuri ] OMG Miyavi's a daddy!! <3 The baby was born earlier today (well, yesterday now I guess XD), 29th July 2009. I'm so happy for him and melody ^^ I bet Miyavi makes such a great dad! XD He'll certainly be a lot of fun 8D Can't wait to find out if the baby is a boy or a girl, or maybe what they name him/her...And what the baby looks like! So beautiful, I'm sure <3 You know that crazy spazz is gonna be pic-spamming the place up as per usual in a couple of days time :p Congratulations to both Miyavi and melody, and may they all be happy and healthy in their lovely new family <3 EDIT: It's a girl!! Weighing in at around 7 lbs, and according to daddy-Meev, "She's a pretty girl" <3 Here's Miyavi's blog entry made today about the new addition to his family: http://community.livejournal.com/masakarasu/101593.html#cutid1 He's just so sweet, I had to link it ^^ Even though life is pain, It's wonderful.  - Miyavi 2 danced to {Bright Life}

Off to London! :D [{Sat} 7.18.09 @ 12:01am ] [ mood | blah ] [ music | D'espairsRay - Garnet ] I love going to London...and it's almost that time again! 8D Off to see D'espairsRay tomorrow night ^^ I'm not feeling very excited or motivated tbh, it's very weird :s Never been like this before a gig before. I was so hyper for weeks before both Miyavi and Girugamesh XD I think that's just it though - it's not been long since the Giru gig really (8 weeks), and it was an awesome night, so I'm still kinda all happy about that, and then my ticket for Miyavi in October arrived even before the Despa ticket, so I got hyped about that mega-early...and Despa are just sorta left hanging in the middle of those two pieces of awesomeness XD I feel kinda sorry for them lol, like I should be more enthusiastic or something XD No worries, once I'm on my way to London in the morning I know I'll start getting more excited :) So, on that note I should probably get to bed. It's already gone midnight! :O See you tomorrow at some point, Dodo! It'll probably be about 1-2pm again that I get to the venue, so I imagine you'll have been there a while by then XD I'll come find you, but keep your phone to hand in case I get lost ;) See you later! 8D Right, to bed. I'll try and update more often now, I swear XD I should be back with an entry after the weekend to share the fun that will be had! XD 9 danced to {Bright Life}

OMG... [{Thu} 6.25.09 @ 11:30pm ] [ mood | numb ] [ music | Michael Jackson - Man in the Mirror ] Michael. Jackson. Dead. I feel really weird...like, really  numb. I'm actually in tears right now. I have no words... I refuse to believe this. 1 danced to {Bright Life}

GAROOGAMESH!!!!!!!!!!! [{Sun} 5.31.09 @ 7:25pm ] [ mood | nostalgic ] [ music | Girugamesh - evolution ] I can't believe I haven't done my Giru post yet...I also can't believe it's already been two weeks since the gig either O_O That has flown by!! The post-gig depression only lasted about 4 days this time, I swear! I just got really busy... Anyhoo, here goes:      GIRUGAMESH CRAZY TOUR '09 IN EUROPE     ( EPIC GIRU POST OF DOOOOM!! :D ) We went outside, and made our way to the backstge door where some others were already waiting. Last year the boys signed a few things for people, so I was gonna wait around to see if they'd do it again this year. I said goodbye to Dodo and everyone else I'd met that day, as they were off to the arcade as the night was still young. Everyone started to get a bit more excited as the roadies started packing everything into the tour bus trailer, 'cause we knew they'd be out soon ^^ Some people handed gifts to them to pass onto the band, but I just waited with the others with my book and pen at the ready. Part of the book I'd spent the day/night before/morning of the gig making; this was the page I'd planned to get the band members to sign ;_; We all got round near the bus when it pulled up ready to collect the band, but at about 10pm we were given a message from the band's manager: they wouldn't be signing anything as there were just too many of us :( Ah well, totally understandable really. So instead, I got my camera out and waited, happy to just take a pic or two and wave goodbye to them ^^ About 10 minutes later they came out; it was a surreal moment *_*     Unfortunatley, I mostly got the back of peoples' heads DX And due to my camera being so crappy and slow, it seems the photo got delayed and took it right after the last Giru member got on the bus, so I just got the roadies ;_;    They were so close, and so normal and everyday again now, ya know? When they're not on stage, lol. Anyways, there was a huge crowd of us by this point, and quite a few infront of me, but I could still see them as they came out and stepped onto the tour bus, right infront of us. They all gave us a wave as they got on, and then the roadies followed and shut the curtains so we couldn't see into the bus (spoilsports, lol :p). We all moved aside so the bus could pull out onto the road and get by, and took a few pics and waved goodbye to the only people we could now see on the bus, the driver and a roadie or two XD Setting off... The bus now on the street, as it drove right by me...damn them for closing those curtains! XD And there they go ;_; See you next time, boys! <3 I had an amazing night, and honestly cannot wait for them to come back again!! <3 Giru stuffs <3 Sunday 17th May 2009 That night I couldn't sleep for ages! My ears were ringing and I was just buzzing so much!! XD This is the state I looked like when I got back to the hotel: A complete wreck after my first metal gig XD I was pushed around, covered in other peoples' sweat, my sweat, the water Satoshi threw into the crowd at one point...It was all pretty fucking gross... And I loved every minute and would do it all again for them! XD Though I could have done without those big German moshers pushing me back from 4-5 rows back in the middle (with a great view!) to over towards the right and double the way back ;_; Bastards. I'll be ready for you next time! :o The next day I got up, got dressed and tried to eat breakfast before giving up and going back to my room to pop a couple of ibuprofen for my sore head and sore throat. All that yelling and screaming will do that to ya XD I then couldn't believe what I did... I put on my music as I finished getting ready to leave the hotel, and it was stil on my Giru playlist. Owari to Mirai started up nice and loud...and I burst into tears. Like, seriously fucking sobbed my heart out. After that and puzzle had played through I turned it off, thinking that'd be for the best, lol. I guess that's where the post-gig depression kicked in XD I re-set the playlist back to the start and to less-heart-breaking songs and vowed I'd still listen to it on my travels round London that day and remember the awesome night I'd had the day before due to those boys and their music <3 After that, I was fine and listened to them on repeat all day XD Silly girl :p lol. I spent Sunday wandering around the Trocadero and the Japan Centre doing a spot of shopping, and had lunch at Wasabi down the road in Piccadilly. It wasn't long before I had to head back to the train station to go home. I had to change over when I got to Grantham station to get a bus the rest of the way to Nottingham train station, so I stopped off in the toilets there to take my only full-outfit shot of that weeked XD Taken in the toilets, Girugamesh-style! XD Giru are famous for taking pics/doing comment vids in bathrooms across the world, so it seemed very appropriate to take one of my own this weekend, as a little tribute :D But it's so bluuuurry :( All in all, I had a fantasic weekend, made a few (awesome) new friends, and just had a blast! seeing Girugamesh is one of the best things I've ever done, so I'll definitely be there when they come back next time! :D I just have one thing left to say, and this picture sums it up perfectly (with the only photo I've managed to find so far from the night): <3 </div></div></div> 2 danced to {Bright Life}

Weird feelings... Damn I'm exhausted XD [{Mon} 5.18.09 @ 8:24pm ] [ mood | restless ] [ music | Girugamesh - Vermillion ] I'm still waaaaaaaaaay too tired to do a Giru/London post, but I swear it'll be here in a day or two XD I wanna do it while it's all still fresh in my mind (not that it's a night I'm gonna forget in a very long time... <3 ) I found a video on YouTube today that someone took on Saturday night of the whole opening of the concert (Intro + Break Down) and watching it through earlier had me shedding a few tears. Silly, ne? They are just such good memories that I wanna keep forever, so whoever took that video I love very much! XD That's my favourite song from their MUSIC album, so I'm glad to have the whole thing to watch in full over again :') I don't know how I got through work today though, lol. I was 10 minutes late starting my shift, and have literally had to drag myself round all day, looking tired and miserable XD I still have after-gig depression it seems ;p Also, my neck aches like a bitch! Rock/metal gigs are hazardous to the health! I did get pushed around a bit at the start when a mosh pit formed, but I think the rest of the aches and pains are my own doing from all the crazy jumping up and down, dancing and head-banging for an hour and a half straight XD I still say it's all totally worth it though <3 And I can't wait to do it all over again ;) Thankfully I don't start work until 2:30pm tomorrow, so I'm hoping to get a better night's sleep tonight (have barely slept in like 3 days now!), and then have a nice long lie-in in the morning :) I hate tuesdays, though - it's my worst day of the week at work, so god help them if I'm still this mood XD Be warned, Morrisons customers! :p Anyhoo, I don't seem to have anything that productive to say tonight, so I guess I should leave it here... Oh yeah, doraichan - I gave a couple of  D'espairsRay songs a listen today! They're not bad ^^ I quite liked Garnet, and really like their more recent Redeemer :D I'm not completely sold yet, though...Though that may be because I'm still too hung up on Giru XD {Bright Life}

I'm home... :( [{Sun} 5.17.09 @ 7:57pm ] [ mood | drained ] [ music | Girugamesh - Robust Conviction ] Well, I got home a couple of hours ago...and I'm staring to feel like shit :( I really hope I don't get ill...  Crazy Tour '09 in Europe <3 This weekend has been a total blast! The gig was AWESOME. Girugamesh are made of uber cool win and I loved every damn second of their performance <3 It felt like it was all over in about 20 minutes, not the hour and a half they were actually on stage for. I waited for nearly two hours outside afterwards, and stood right next to their tour bus as they got on! :D They couldn't stay and sign anything for us, but they gave us a wave goodbye as they boarded the bus and smiled for all the pics the crowd were taking XD Those guys just seem so sweet <3 Right now I'm feeling major after-gig blues though, so I don't think I'd give a proper update/report/etc the justice it deserves, so I'll do one in a few days time ^^ Fangirling, pics and an attempt at a report will follow shortly, I promise ;) It was great hanging out with doraichan and her mates on saturday and meeting lots of other people as we sat outside for HOURS waiting for the doors to open XD I'm glad I met each and everyone of you and can't wait to see you all again at the next gig! :D Like I say, though, for now I'm gonna leave it and get some rest. I'm absolutely exhausted; have barely eaten/slept in the last couple of days and this weekend has seriously done me in XD Good luck getting up at 6am for work, eh? lol. Ah well, Girugamesh were totally worth it...And I'd definitely do it all over again <3 7 danced to {Bright Life}

Hyper time! XD [{Fri} 5.15.09 @ 11:01pm ] [ mood | excited ] [ music | Girugamesh - Fukai no Yami ] I can't believe it's almost time for GIRUGAMESH!!!   It feels like I've waited forever for tomorrow to get here, but at the same time it seems to have come round pretty fast...Weird XD Haha. I've been so hyperactive about this gig for like the past 2 months, it's crazy, I'm surprised I'm not sick to death of their music after listening to almost nothing else for about 8 weeks straight XD But I'm definitely psyched up for tomorrow night if nothing else! :D On that note, I need to finish throwing my things together and get to bed. I'm in that stage right now of frantically trying to think of what I'm forgetting (I must have checked 10 times already that I have my train & concert tickets and will do all ovr agian in the morning, lol), so I'm just gonna hope everything's there and check one last time in the morning before I go. Right now though, I need some SLEEP. Oh yeah, see ya tomorrow doraichan ! XD 1 danced to {Bright Life}

Bodyline Model Search [{Tue} 5.5.09 @ 10:50pm ] [ mood | determined ] [ music | Girugamesh - Enishi ] I just submitted my entry to the Bodyline Model Search competition! :D *does happy dance* My page: https://www.bodyline.co.jp/bodyline/ssl/upload_browse_c8_detail.asp?did=162 I know I don't stand a chance against the rest of those girls (a good deal of which are STUNNING, btw: https://www.bodyline.co.jp/bodyline/ssl/upload_browse_c8.asp), but I thought it might be fun to enter anyways while I still have the chance (I'll be too old by the time it comes round again ;_;) Getting through would be pretty fun too, of course ;P You get a free trip to Tokyo, $1000, your photos in the BL catalogue, on their website and in a fashion magazine and dinner with Bodyline's creator, Mr. Yan XD Yup, not a chance in hell I'll ever see any of it, but hey XD 19 danced to {Bright Life}

Bitter-sweet goodbyes [{Mon} 5.4.09 @ 10:48pm ] [ mood | weird ] Wow. Coming online to check your emails only to find the first person you ever truly loved to have de-friended you on LJ...Even after so many years, that kinda hurts. Silly, I know. But I guess she took that final step I could never take for myself way back then...So, thanks. I guess. Not that you'll ever see this now, of course. A blast from the past in the most unpleasant way. But I guess it's sorta refreshing, too. In that crazy mixed feelings way. So, as stupid as this is, it's something I have to do if only for myself - one final message for surface_missile  I know you won't be reading this Sam, but it's what I've been wanting to say to you for a while but just didn't have the guts to And now you've made it clear I never will get that chance : You were a great friend all those years ago, and for some strange reason you popped into my head a few days back, and I wanted to say 'hey' and find out how you are. But something told me not to. Go, intuition. I have no idea where you are, who you're with or what you are doing with yourself these days, but I hope you are well, and I hope you are happy. I truly do. Because friends are friends no matter what; they come and go and they leave gifts of great memories behind. I don't know if you ever knew how much I loved you, or how much my heart broke when we gradually grew apart back then. But even though that part was painful, I want to thank you for showing me love. And for a little while, letting me love you. I wish there was a way we could have stayed friends, but I guess, no matter what I thought at the time, that it just wasn't meant to be. Thank you for everything we shared in those few wonderful years of friendship. And good luck with everything you do from now on. I know it probably isn't mutual, but honestly: I'll still think of you every now and then and smile :) 2 danced to {Bright Life}

New hair! :D [{Wed} 4.29.09 @ 10:15pm ] [ mood | giddy ] [ music | Girugamesh - Ishtar ] I've said it before and I'll say it again: Do not let me get bored with my hair, as drastic measures are usually taken...

Writer's Block: Philanthropy [{Mon} 4.27.09 @ 3:38pm ] [ mood | hopeful ] Do you volunteer your time or donate money to any charitable organizations? Which ones, and why? View 500 Answers Well, this was yesterday's Writer's Block, but I missed it, so I'm doing it now :p I have always been interested in charity work and campaigning, etc, and do donate money to Friends of the Earth, and I sponsor a child in Bangladesh through World Vision. I used to be involved with Amnesty International, and more hands-on with the animal charity/campaign group Viva!, which I used to do a lot of campaign work for at various animal-cruelty-supporting sites as Marks and Spensor and Tesco (horrible people! :p) My most recent charitable thing-to-do, however, is the Race for Life for Cancer Research UK. I'll be taking part on June 21st '09. This is the charity of the year at my work-place, and I really want to get involved this year, so thought this was the best way to do it :) Unfortunately, I have an aunt with aggressive cancer, whom I doubt will see this year out. It saddens me to see what it's doing to her, but despite that, she has lived every day to the fullest all her life, even now, and she still never stops laughing and having fun! I want to do this for her, and for others that need help with this horrible disease. I have a sponsor page set up with Race for Life, and if any of you guys wanna help out in any little way with it, I would greatly appreciate it! :) Is anyone else doing the Race this year? I'd love to know so I can sponsor you as well! :) {Bright Life}
