Vampires and Fanboys

[kove_aiden]

1st : I found a new band I like. Cinema Bizarre. They're a German, Japanese-influenced, band who sing in English. There are five members: Strify (lead vocal), Luminor (back up vocal, keyboard), Yu (guitar), Shin (drums) and Kiro (bass). Strify, Yu and Kiro met at an anime convention! They incorporate visual kei, glam and goth rock and new wave into

Hmm....

Yes and no. It isn't quite as "gotta read this, gotta finish this, how intriguing" as Twilight, and maybe that's just because of the wordiness. It does start VERY slowly. But the total "worth" of the story is about 30x's Twilight's. Twilight is a teenage-supernatural-romance dung heap, which I liked--though it kills me to admit it. Interview is a thought out, epic tale, with much more background information and character development. But it's not exactly a thriller. So, yes and no. Also, so far I have to say I at once dislike Lestat and feel sorry for him. Yes, he's a jerk, but he's also kinda pathetic, which makes me hope that Claudia won't kill him (don't tell me what happens, I'm just at this point). But Louis really does need to get away from him, they're like an abusive husband and his brainwashed wife. BTW: is it said Lou-is, or Lou-y? And last, but not least, Cinema Bizarre has pretty good music (my cd just came today), its not earth-shaking good, but its pretty catchy (especially Love Songs (They Kill Me)) and of course they are all so awesomesauce gorgeous (except for Luminor, he's just scary-transvestite looking), and anime nerds to top it off.

Wow...you just described how I felt about it perfectly. But the other good thing about the Vampire Chronicles is that even though there are a bunch of sequels, they aren't stupid like the Twilight ones. Each sequel is just as thought-out as this one, but I understand what you mean when you say "wordiness" - I felt the same way about it, and it's why I'm still only on The Vampire Armand (which is the 7th book of the series). Oh, and it's "Lou-y"...and he doesn't write all of them - Lestat writes the next 4, and after you read the first one (The Vampire Lestat)...I dunno. You feel different about him, somehow (because you get his side of the story). He doesn't seem as much of a jerk in his stories, but he's still just as arrogant, which, I think, is just part of the appeal. Robin, Hana, and I can't help but like him, even though he's the way he is (but we also love Louis and Marius, and Robin and I like Armand, but you probably won't until The Queen of the Damned [third book of the series]...) But anyway...I'll probably call you later and ask if you want to hang out, so listen for it! XD

Sorry for being random/spontaneous

This is Aleah's friend, "Robin"/Reem. I'm pretty sure Aleah's mentioned me..? And I was at her birthday party a month ago. I think you should remember me.
Anyway, I know I kind of just appeared out of nowhere, but I couldn't help but see that you think Luminor is scary. xDD Is it his deep voice, or his looks? Or both? I'm a big Yu fan. XD And I'm surprised at how so many people like the song "Love Songs (They Kill Me)". I actually don't like it much. Other songs like "Dysfunctional Family" and "The Silent Place" more.
And, I can't help but ask when you bid on the CD. I had a friend who was apparantly bidding against someone over it on ebay and lost the last second. xD Not that I'm really holding you accountable or anything, I'm just curious to see if it was one big coincidence or not. xD

Anyway, sorry for popping up again.

NO PROB!!

Of course I remember you!
OK: well, really, it's not just one thing; any of them would be pretty normal if on their lonesome. It's the incongruity of them all together: his frame (he's really big looking!), his ultra-mega-deep voice, and his dress. To me he seems to be -trying- the hardest out of these guys to look girlish... the other guys, if they don't want to, well, they're just SOL... But anyway, just added all together and I would *scoot scoot away* if I happened to be standing next to him. ^_^; I like Kiro!!!
Also, Love Songs (They Kill Me) isn't my favorite song on their cd, but I think it's probably the most 'catchy', the others grow on me the more I listen (in particular Get Off and Dysfunctional Family). Also, I don't like Strify's icky pimp shoes in the vid (oh, and Aleah doesn't like his "hip movement"; we think he's secretly a poledancer).
ANDDDDDD: lastly, I bought mine on Amazon, so I'm afraid the culprit still goes free. Although, I did snatch my Tokio Hotel cd right from the cold, dead fingers of another bidder, just last week!
