X Japan tomorrow
The X Japan concert is tomorrow.
I suppose I should be more excited about it but I'm just... not, for whatever reason. I'll be bringing my hide gear to do cosplay (sans guitar) but hrm, I dunno. I wonder if part of it is because I don't know who is going and I haven't really made plans to meet up w/anyone there. I might see some people, I might not. I sorta figure that since I'm hide-ing it up it should be easy enough to talk to people around me in line. I'll also try to get there a little early but I'm not really prepared to get there 5 hours or more before the show. I've seen X Japan before - this'll be my 4th live(!!) - so I'm not as thrilled as I was when I first caught them in 2008 for the Reunion tour where I ended up crying because I was so excited and overwhelmed that I could somehow actually see them live. I know this will probably be many fans first experience of X live but I wonder if I'm already a bit jaded about the whole thing, especially after the Yokohama live which was my least favorite of the concerts that I've been to?? X has always been that one band that I love but... while I still love them it's not quite the same anymore. It feel a bit... forced. Am I the only one to think that?? I wonder....
Also, I was hoping to meet up w/some pals up in L.A. - maybe for lunch? - but no one has gotten back to me yet at all which is a bit of a bummer, actually. I'll be stuck at a mini-photoshoot in the afternoon before the show which I said I'd step in for because a different model decided not to do it (or or canceled or whatever) but I'm not hugely a cam whore and honestly don't really want to do the shoot. Like... at all. Maybe it's from the fact that the photographer is not, in actuality, a friend (more of a casual acquaintance) unlike any other photos I've done before and... yeah... I fear that this will make up for some rather lackluster photos. Well, whatever. I honestly don't care. I'm trying to find some motivation for even bothering but it's hard....
Otherwise than that... eh... not a particularly great week for many small reasons but I'll leave the rest of that alone. I don't want to get into it at the moment.
Let's just hope tomorrow goes ok and that I can find the motivation to push me through the rest of this week which has felt infinitely longer (though more busy) than any of my previous time back.
