Snow day #2/And so now she is a Versailles fangirl -- I SO TOTALLY WIN!!! XD
And so after successfully making my sis into a Kaya-addict yesterday, I decided that I ought to kill 2 birds with 1 stone and attempt to get her interested in Versailles. AND OH MY GAWD WAS IT DIFFICULT!!! >_<
Late last night, she wanted me to tell her about seeing him perform live at PMX last year (it was my first time ever seeing him!)and meeting Kaya this year at AUSA. So I did. She made me promise her that I would take her next time and even make her a Kaya cosplay, which I did, happily.
Then there was this morning. Both of us are very early risers, no one was even up yet when we woke up. I was multitasking by working on one of my new paintings while flipping through a Cure magazine when she came in my room. "Forbidden Gate" was playing on my computer. "Is that song also Kaya?" She asked. "No, Versailles." She frowned.
Just to go back a little, she has always had sort of a grudge against them because she partially blames them for me getting so sick last year during AUSA. I was feeling a little better after being in the hospital for about 2 days and I literally had to get on my knees and beg my doctor to discharge me early so I could see them. (I had spent so much money preparing for the trip!) When I got there I was beginning to feel bad again and could only go for certain events (I could only go to the opening ceremonies were I'm sure I spent at least 50% of my energy screaming for Jasmine-san and then the Q&A and was too weary even to ask a question, luckily some other girl asked the question I wanted to ask) and then I had to quickly go back home or I would get weak (my sister and aid even made it a point to attend with me on Saturday!).
The day of the concert, she was begging me to go back home cause she was afraid I would get so weak that I would pass out. But I stayed even through the LONG ASS WAIT for the concert. For those who were there you KNOW what I'm talking about and IT WAS A MOTHER FUCKING NIGHTMARE!!!!!!!!!! The 2 girls with us from my anime club took turns watching over me in line and giving me water so I would not get dehydrated and playing games with me using my Versailles photo cards.
All the while my sis was crying and begging me to leave. But I said no because I was determined to see my inspiration perform and since I was too sick to meet them the previous day I HAD to stay if for any other reason to get their autographs afterward. But Finally when we got i the ballroom (and for those who were there you know Versailles did't go on right away) I just felt so bad that my aid FORCED me to leave AUSA and I had to go to the hospital. I was in such bad shape that my sis actually said that she hated Versailles for it and if I died she would NEVER forgive them. But really, it was my fault. (recently I have been beginning to think that I should have stayed anyway)
My sister looked around my room at the posters and pointed to one. "You mean them?" "No! That's Malice Mizer! THIS is Versailles!" I pointed to another one. She stared at them for a long time, "This is the band that almost caused your death last year?!" She always says that (or something along those lines) every time I mention them (especially when I mention Jasmine You or Kamijo). I told her to stop being so mellow-dramatic and that it wasn't their fault that I got so sick during AUSA, had the concert been ON TIME I probably would have had enough strength to stay but it was all wasted on that long ass wait! "You still shouldn't have gone period! Do you think they would be happy to know that you left the hospital too early just to go back again in worse condition than before JUST to see them live?! Do you think Jasmine You would be happy knowing his biggest fan could have died while waiting for the concert to start?!"
This made me cry a bit. I KNOW he wouldn't be happy but I had no choice, though I did go to their Q&A at Akon my sickness prevented me from going to any of their other lives that year so I had to go otherwise who knew when they would come to the states again? I think she saw how much that hurt me so she hugged me. "I'm sorry one-san" (I make her call me that! lol) It was a very long time before we said anything else. "So, which one is which?" That shocked me, I didn't think that after she said what she said that she would be open to learning more about them. I figured that she was just trying to be nice to me, but I introduced them to her anyway.
She seemed genuinely interested though. "Teru is cute!" She laughed, "Kamijo is hotter!" I replied. "I like Teru more!" "Well I like Kamijo more!" "Your dumb, Jas!" "Well your dumb!" We both laughed. I had succeeded.
But then my mom came in and reminded me that I had to shovel snow that morning. She looked at us and rolled her eyes and left. After a few minutes, I decided to show her some videos on YouTube of them, including a slideshow on Windows Movie Maker that I made a few days ago for my own personal enjoyment. It was another fun moment and it amused me so much every time she smiled and held her cheeks at my pics of Teru, I'm so happy that she is finally beginning to open her mind. Now if only my brother could be more like her and then things would be great! With the exception of my mother, I have given up on the adults in my family.
But then I showed her the Serenade PV, my sis cried a little. When I asked her why she was crying, she said cause she feels bad now for all the bad things she said or thought about Jasmine You. In the corner of my room there is my favorite picture of him on display arranged with little candles and purple, white, and red flowers/roses. She went over to it and stared at the picture. "He really was beautiful. I can see why you adored him." I hugged her and I couldn't help but cry a little too. But at that moment I was so happy cause it really did feel like we were sisters again. In less than 24 hours I had managed to help her open her mind to Visual Kei. It was great.
When she left my room she took 2 CD's (one Kaya, one Versailles) off my desk along with a DVD (Aesthetic Violence Jasmine's version). "I'm borrowing these for a couple of days!" She didn't even ask me before she left! Little hussy! But I'll let her anyway. After these last few days it's the least I could do. I think next time I will introduce her to An Cafe and then Mana. But probably not today.
I want her to fully take in Kaya and Versailles first.
