List seven songs you are into right now, no matter what the genre, whether they have words, or even if they're not any good, but they must be songs you're really enjoying now. Post these instructions in your LiveJournal along with your seven songs. Then tag seven other people to see what they're listening to.
1. System of a Down - B.Y.O.B. - I've been with Mel for the past few days, and with all the driving around we do, I've of course been listening to her CD's while in the car. And this just happened to be one that stuck. I do so love it. ^.^
Marching forward hypocritic and
Hypnotic computers
You depend on our protection
Yet you feed us lies from the tablecloth
Everybody's going to the party have a real good time
Dancing in the desert blowing up the sunshine.
2. Utada Hikaru - BLUE - I've always liked this song, but for some reason it's just been stuck in my head lately. Well, really only like the first verse, but still. The whole song is good. Come on, it's Utada.
3. The DaVinci Code - Chevaliers de Sangreal - Beautiful piece from the score of The DaVinci Code. I recently got a chance to watch it on STARZ and I fell in love. The movie is great, I recommend it, whither your religious or not. And the music, while it wasn't Hanz Zimmer's best, it was still beautiful. ^oo^
4. Saliva - Ladies And Gentlemen - I've been hooked on this song for quite a while. Good fight song in my opinion. I'd recommend it for anybody who liked their song "Click Click Boom" although this one is a bit different, as there is more talking going on through the verses...
Ladies and gentlemen good evening
You’ve seen that seeing is believing
Your ears and your eyes will be bleeding
Please check to see if you’re still breathing
5. MONORAL - Kiri - Great great soft rock song by a pretty much, unheard of Japanese indies band. Ever since this song, I've spazzed out about these guys. Their English is pretty darn good too, you can hear the accent, but it's really not that bad. At first I thought it was an American band until I looked up the info. By the way, for those who have seen the anime, Ergo Proxy will know this song for sure, as it was the opening song. Much luv. ♥
You complete my faith
The word unwinds unside of me
You complete my faith
The halo glows away
6. Red Hot Chili Peppers - Snow (Hey Oh) - I know, I know. Been around for awhile, where have I been? I've heard it before, obviously, but it wasn't until recently that I really started to get into this song. I don't know why, I just did. *shrug* I just love to sing along with it, so fun! Even my grandma likes it. That's saying something. She doesn't like hardly anything I listen to.
Step from the road to the sea to the sky
And I do believe that we rely on
When I lay it on
Come get to play it on
All my life to sacrifice
7. Mongoose - Pink Piano Punk Star - It's actually been a little while since I listened to this song, but it's still just as fun. Mongoose is by far one of the funnest Korean punk groups evar. I don't know if...punk is really the right word. Maybe....synth pop/punk. Yeah. We'll go with that. XP
Pink piano punk star!

And now I can finally get on with it. It took me way longer to get through that meme than it should have. Damnit. But now I'm typing this up before I go crash. And I'm exhausted, so I'm terribly sorry if this is half assed. I'll try not to though. At least not too bad.
BUT, as some of you already know. I went to see Dir en grey LIVE tonight at the Orbit Room in Grand Rapids. Let's just cut to the chase with me saying it was the fucking shit, ok? I feel so much better that I got to go and see them, considering last time I had to have emergency surgery the night before last time and I had to be left behind, quite obviously. But I got to seem them, and I had so much fun. I think the anticipation finally got to me when we we're driving down there. Because I was like, randomly screaming at people on the express-way. Nothing that formed words just loud ass, "RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH!!" And it was stupid because, I was in the back of Caysie's mom's blazer, and it was just one of those little tiny...pop out...windows. Yeah, I love how I describe things, isn't it grand? But the anticipation soon faded to fucking anger and frustration when we actually got to Grand Rapids because it took us almost an hour to find the fucking place this concert was being held at. It's called the Orbit Room, and we drove up and down this road at least 20 fucking times and we couldn't see it. It was so stupid, because there was NO sign facing said road which Map Quest had said it was on, so we just kept driving right on past it. Until we...yanno....spotted tour buses. And then pulled up and saw a massive line of people. And then we kind of put two and two together and went on in. So much for getting there early and not only getting up on the rail, but missing out on autographs. Damnit. Just my luck too.
But once inside, Caysie and I quickly went onto the floor and found a spot. We really didn't start too far back from the rail, but quite quickly we had worked our way up until about the third row or so. We kept spotting people with Dir en grey shirts on too, so it was clear we weren't the only fans there. Actually, there was a lot of Dir en grey fans there tonight, even though they weren't headlining. The first band was Fall Of Troy I believe, and they weren't too bad, but I personally didn't really care for them myself. *shrug*
But ugh, we had this one snobby bitch in front of us. Ok, so, this is what happened. I was trying to get me and Caysie as close to the rail as we could, and it was clear we weren't going to get up there, only due to the fact that there was a group of Dir en grey fangirls already up there, so we knew for sure we weren't breaking that shit up. But we could at least get behind them, right? So I tapped this woman on the shoulder and asked her nicely and politely if she wouldn't mind maybe switching spots with me and my friend for Dir en grey since they were what we we're there to see, and she was there to see Deftones. And after Dir en grey, we we're getting out of the pit anyway, so then she could just file her spot back, no problem. As if it was so much to fucking ask. She just turned her back on me in the middle of a sentence and started whispering to her guy friend (who was actually really nice...) and then shaking her head and shit. Like we weren't going to give her her spot back. She didn't even know who Dir en grey was, why was it such a big deal? And instead of throwing a little temper tantrum by shaking your head and talking shit about me for being NICE, you could have said it to my face that you didn't want to move. She just stood there and was like, "I don't care, she's crazy if she thinks I'm switching spots with her. I'm not moving..."
But the cunt changed her mind when the dudes behind us we're slam dancing and throwing everybody into everybody else. And we we're kind of like...banded together, protecting her almost. She was a little snobby bitch though. When her friend (the guy friend who was really nice) got slammed into her, she would like, turn to him and then push him away angrily like he was slamming into her on PURPOSE. And then she started acting like he had cooties or something cuz he had touched her, cuz she kept scrunching up her face. I didn't see her headbang once. I didn't see her make the rock n' roll symbol once. I didn't see her do anything at all that night. I would like to know what the fuck she was doing in a mosh pit then...
I got kicked in the face. That was lame. I should have really expected it, but still, it hurt damnit. It hasn't bruised yet, so I should be good. I hope it's not bruised tomorrow or else I'll have to hear the whole, "Your not ever going in a mosh pit again!" bit from my grandma. Not that I would listen to what she says anyway, I'm an adult, but I still don't want to hear the bitching. But the guy who kicked me in the face had taken it upon himself to go crowd surfing, and I guess there weren't a lot of people who wanted to play along so they just let him fall face first on the floor. I mean, his legs we're sticking vertical in the air. Until a few people helped hoist him up and over the rail to safety. BUT I STILL GOT KICKED IN THE FACE. I know he didn't mean to or anything, but still. Um...ouch?
After that, I just started elbowing people. Even the super super mega ultra super gay guy that was wearing a MESH TOP. Can we say flammer?
Omg though, before Dir en grey came on, there we're some great conversations. Or...comments. Both really. We met this guy, I think his name was Joey, I'm not 100% positive on that though. But he was nice enough to let me get in front of him. But anyway, just randomly he yells, "HOLY SHIT, LOOK! IT'S KYO!" And goddamnit, Caysie's head snapped so fast to look, I thought it was going to effing break. And then he goes, "......Just kidding, LOL!" (Yes, he actually said LOL. Or, "LAWL" is what it sounded like, HA.)
But then, we we're talking, Caysie and I. And she said something about she wished he had his bucket that I guess he threw out at the crowd last time. Or something to that effect. And then we got to talking about Kyo's small Japanese penis, and KYO AIDS, and all this other hoo hah. Anyway! Caysie all of a sudden switched back to the topic of the bucket, and I didn't know. And I was still thinking we we're talking about Kyo's penis, and well...this is what happened...
Caysie: I wish he would just, fling it out at the crowd like he did last time...
Me: O_o Are we talking about the same thing??....Cuz I'm talking about Kyo penis, but I think your talking about a bucket...
Caysie: ...........omg.
Random Girl: Oh my God, I'm sorry to eavesdrop, but that is fucking hilarious. BUT. I'd be pretty happy if Kyo flung his penis out to the crowd, I don't know about you.
Me: Well, yeah, but I'd be a little shocked at first. I'd be all like, 'OH MY GOD, WHAT THE HELL?! PENIS!!!' and then I'd realize and go, 'YAY! KYO PENIS!!!!'"
And hilarity ensued.
When Dir en grey finally came out on stage, the snobby batch (yeah, batch) in front of us finally let us into her precious spot. Well, she just scootched over to Caysie could slide in, but it was all good. We we're darn close, that's for sure. So I couldn't complain. I got slammed into, rolled around, and all that jazz, but it was totally worth it. And Kyo shirtless. Ok, I'm sorry, I've seen it a million times. From pictures. From videos. But seeing it live. I don't care how short, or how small his penis is. I can fucking work around it. He probably wakes up every day, looks at himself in the damn mirror and just...has to go and masturbate because his body is fucking GOD.
But for a Dir en grey live, it was actually pretty mellow. Again, more than likely due to the fact that they weren't headlining, so they didn't go all out. With the blood and the gore and all the other party tricks that we crave from them. But they had a nice long set and I was in pure heaven. I absolutely loved Kyo's acapella (is that even how you spell it??...) that he did halfway through, it was beautiful. Caysie was brought to tears. But it agitated me when one faggot from the crowd screamed, "WHERE THE FUCK IS THE MUSIC?!" Ugh. Just...shut up and quit ruining the act. I'm pretty sure it was from someone who didn't even know who Dir en grey was, they just wanted to slam into other people and piss them off in the process. -_- Loser.
Me and Caysie kept making little heart symbols to Die because I kept catching his gaze every now and then. WHAT?! I was trying to be sexxy, but it didn't work when I was getting flung around like a rag doll. But I tried, and if all I got was a stare, that's fine with me. ^_^; And then end, Die blew a kiss to the crowd and then threw out his guitar pick. And these girls we're so desperate they we're on their hands and knees, searching the ground for that damn guitar pick. I probably would have too if I had seen where it had flown (which wound up being REALLY close to me actually, goddammit. -_-). But they we're so intent on getting that pick, they we're on their hands on knees on that nasty dirty corroded floor. That floor where everyone was walking, standing and jumping. The floor with all those cigarette buts and ashes, and spilled drinks. Everything. She finally found it though and she started fucking bawling, which I found amusing. And a little weird, but still. O_o
All in all, it was great. And as exhausted as I am, I'm ready to go to my next Dir en grey concert. I don't care how long I have to wait or if I have to hitch hike. I am going to the next concert that comes my way for sure. Afterwards though, we shifted to the back, where there was the 21 and older bar section or whatever. That's where Caysie's mom had been hanging out. Caysie had drawn a picture to give to Die and her mom actually wound up meeting up with one of the roadies for them and he promised to give it to Die for her. ^_^ But once we made it back to her mom, I'd say we stuck around for about half of the Deftones before we snuck out to the lounge for look for Caysie. She had gone out there because after a while, the loud music started to make her sick I guess. And that was when Caysie proceeded to tell us that while she was out in the lounge, she saw Shinya walk by, but she hadn't realized it until he had rounded the corner, of course. So, after hearing this, the hunt had began. We we're determined to find Dir en grey. We thought we could find them inside the building, but to no avail. We even checked upstairs in the balcony, but we couldn't find any "Japanese fuckers" as Caysie's mom put it. So back downstairs we went, and right before walking up the ramp, Caysie's mom and I stopped and asked this guy, who was sitting on a pair of stools in front of these large double doors if he knew where Dir en grey was. Like, if they we're in the building, backstage or whatever. Well, he then informed us that they we're all out back by the tour bus.
So again, we went and snatched Caysie a second time and then started looking for which doors he was talking about. Finally, we went back and realize that they we're the doors he was sitting in front of. Some begging was in order to allow us to get through, and I'm not sure whither we convinced him or if we snuck past him. I think it was kind of...both. But dude, I was so nervous. I hate to ruin the climax of the story, but no, I didn't get to see Kyo. And no, I didn't get his autograph, or any autograph to be quite frank. But I did get to see Die. XP Actually, I don't know if he's their representative....manager...roadie or what, I don't know. Maybe a mixture of all three, but he was a bit of an asshole. Like, heavy on the rude.
The only thing I can give to him is that he was hott. Hella hott. Mmmm hmm. I wouldn't mind taking him behind a tree or something anytime. I'd just tell him to shut up, that's all. *is nasty* But anywhoo, as soon as we walked up and Caysie's mom started asking about Dir en grey, he just looked at us and was like, "Um...you guys aren't supposed to be back here...." and he kept saying it over and over again. And then he kept saying like, "You guys need to leave, seriously." And we just kept ignoring him. He was even fiddling around with his phone, and then he looked at me and like...tugged on my arm and asked me if I could come over and talk to him for a minute. And he just asked me like...where I was from and then I told him I wanted an autograph because I wanted to get a tattoo and yadda yadda. Just making small talk, but it was the only time I had seen him be nice. I mean, he could have been worse, but still. But then again, I mean....I know it's hard for them, because they are in a different country. And their English is kind of bad, so they really don't know too much of what we're saying. They just smile politely and let us talk, right? I know it must be uncomfortable, I'm sure they WISH they understood what the fuck we we're saying, but still. And then you know, I'm sure that after all that, getting on stage and whatever, they don't want to be hassled. And they just want to kick back and relax, and not be bothered. I'm sure they have to deal with crazy fans all the time, no doubt. Women who cry and pull on them and I'm sure it gets old really fast. But it just kind of ruins it for the rest of us actually NORMAL people who as much as we may want to spazz out and everything else, are nice, civilized and polite. And who would give anything just to shake your hand and tell you what a pleasure it is to meet you. That's all. So, what I'm trying to say it, I guess I can understand why he was a bit of a dick, but still. I told Caysie and her mom on the ride home that if he is at the next Dir en grey concert I go to, I'm going to have to do some major wooing.
I'll just have to wear a skank top with my bewbs hanging out, I should be fine.
But now....my feet still hurt. And my eyes are starting to droop shut. That concert kicked my fucking ass. And tomorrow I think I'm going out with Aaron after he gets out of work. And I don't know how that's going to fly. -_- If only the man of my dreams (uh...IRL I should say) wasn't gay, this would be easy. But what do you do when said gay man confesses his love for you. But. He's still gay? Any advice?
TIP OF THE DAY: Don't go take an offramp doing over 70mph. Bad things happen.
FACT OF THE DAY: Um....Dir en grey is not emo. Ya faggot.

Caysie had drawn a picture to give to Die and her mom actually wound up meeting up with one of the roadies for them and he promised to give it to Die for her. ^_^ But once we made it back to her mom, I'd say we stuck around for about half of the Deftones before we snuck out to the lounge for look for Caysie. She had gone out there because after a while, the loud music started to make her sick I guess. And that was when Caysie proceeded to tell us that while she was out in the lounge, she saw Shinya walk by, but she hadn't realized it until he had rounded the corner, of course. So, after hearing this, the hunt had began. We we're determined to find Dir en grey. We thought we could find them inside the building, but to no avail. We even checked upstairs in the balcony, but we couldn't find any "Japanese fuckers" as Caysie's mom put it. So back downstairs we went, and right before walking up the ramp, Caysie's mom and I stopped and asked this guy, who was sitting on a pair of stools in front of these large double doors if he knew where Dir en grey was. Like, if they we're in the building, backstage or whatever. Well, he then informed us that they we're all out back by the tour bus.
So again, we went and snatched Caysie a second time and then started looking for which doors he was talking about. Finally, we went back and realize that they we're the doors he was sitting in front of. Some begging was in order to allow us to get through, and I'm not sure whither we convinced him or if we snuck past him. I think it was kind of...both. But dude, I was so nervous. I hate to ruin the climax of the story, but no, I didn't get to see Kyo. And no, I didn't get his autograph, or any autograph to be quite frank. But I did get to see Die. XP Actually, I don't know if he's their representative....manager...roadie or what, I don't know. Maybe a mixture of all three, but he was a bit of an asshole. Like, heavy on the rude.
The only thing I can give to him is that he was hott. Hella hott. Mmmm hmm. I wouldn't mind taking him behind a tree or something anytime. I'd just tell him to shut up, that's all. *is nasty* But anywhoo, as soon as we walked up and Caysie's mom started asking about Dir en grey, he just looked at us and was like, "Um...you guys aren't supposed to be back here...." and he kept saying it over and over again. And then he kept saying like, "You guys need to leave, seriously." And we just kept ignoring him. He was even fiddling around with his phone, and then he looked at me and like...tugged on my arm and asked me if I could come over and talk to him for a minute. And he just asked me like...where I was from and then I told him I wanted an autograph because I wanted to get a tattoo and yadda yadda. Just making small talk, but it was the only time I had seen him be nice. I mean, he could have been worse, but still. But then again, I mean....I know it's hard for them, because they are in a different country. And their English is kind of bad, so they really don't know too much of what we're saying. They just smile politely and let us talk, right? I know it must be uncomfortable, I'm sure they WISH they understood what the fuck we we're saying, but still. And then you know, I'm sure that after all that, getting on stage and whatever, they don't want to be hassled. And they just want to kick back and relax, and not be bothered. I'm sure they have to deal with crazy fans all the time, no doubt. Women who cry and pull on them and I'm sure it gets old really fast. But it just kind of ruins it for the rest of us actually NORMAL people who as much as we may want to spazz out and everything else, are nice, civilized and polite. And who would give anything just to shake your hand and tell you what a pleasure it is to meet you. That's all. So, what I'm trying to say it, I guess I can understand why he was a bit of a dick, but still. I told Caysie and her mom on the ride home that if he is at the next Dir en grey concert I go to, I'm going to have to do some major wooing.
I'll just have to wear a skank top with my bewbs hanging out, I should be fine.
But now....my feet still hurt. And my eyes are starting to droop shut. That concert kicked my fucking ass. And tomorrow I think I'm going out with Aaron after he gets out of work. And I don't know how that's going to fly. -_- If only the man of my dreams (uh...IRL I should say) wasn't gay, this would be easy. But what do you do when said gay man confesses his love for you. But. He's still gay? Any advice?
TIP OF THE DAY: Don't go take an offramp doing over 70mph. Bad things happen.
FACT OF THE DAY: Um....Dir en grey is not emo. Ya faggot.
