Concert virginity anyway >->
Yes, I went to see Dir en grey *^o^*
Mom sent me an email a week or two ago (lol) from Ticketmaster saying they were sending the tickets. I was just like ":o" and I just figured she was going with me. She kind of likes them ^^;
So I walk out of my room at 8 in the morning on Friday and stagger across the hall to my bathroom but... Chris is sitting on my couch in his pajamas. And I was like "...wtf do you think you're doing?" "Going with you? ^^" It was such bullshit I felt like I was dreaming. Like "Are you kidding me?" Then Mom pops out of her room with a suitcase and was all "I need someone big and strong to go with you. Here's money go buy breakfast." O-o; Ooookay. So Chris went with us to Atlanta.
We spent the majority of the drive over there sleeping in the backseat, all curled up like kittens. Then we got to Atlanta, moved into our room (in "Fuckhead") and went to Chili's. Then we went back to the room, did random bored things, then I took a very long bath to soak the raspberry pink hair dye out of under my fingernails. Yay for latex gloves that we don't use.
I woke up at 8 the next morning (Atlanta time) and dove in Chris's bed to wake him up to come get food with me. Then I took another bath and wandered around for a few hours in my bathing suit. I didn't want to mess up my concert clothes ^^ I wore a raspberry-ish 3/4 Nollie button-up over a black tank and I had the cutest skirt ever with my little skimmers and some leg warmers shoved down to my ankles and dragging the ground. The skirt was like... Black with little pink polka dots and a couple inches of pink at the bottom covered in black mesh, at the bottom bit was kind of like a tutu. Had my head Hairspray-ed to death. Then we had to argue with Mom and Brian about how early we needed to get there.
So four hours before they opened the doors, we were snuggled on the street corner. He was in two of Brian's jackets, and I was in one of Mom's with a big blanket wrapped around my legs. They came back before the show to pick them up. And there were only like... 30 people in front of us? I thought I was going to die. I had to leave the line to pee and everyone was getting pissed off with having to move to one side of the alley to let people through but then they'd look at me and go "Aww she's cute!" or "Oh her hair's awesome!" and let me through ^^; So I went to Johnny Rocket's to piddle ^^; Then came back, and one big fat guy was the only one not so thrilled with my appearance, so this girl shoved him out of the way for me ^^ A girl right behind us (named Lee) was playing the most hilarious game of rock paper scissors ever and then she wrote everyone's name on the wall in katakana. Their little group was enough to keep me quietly entertained for a few hours. This guy in front of us was a real asshole. He kept bumping me off the step I was standing on, even though he was always a step above me, and he elbowed the shit out of my face. An apology or two would have been kindly accepted.
I preordered their cd while I was in line and the lady tole me to check back after the show to see if I won the chance to meet the band. I hope I didn't win though. Because I was too mindlessly thrilled to remember that until we left.
They finally let us in. Mom grabbed out coats, we got our tickets scanned, and "walked excitedly" (not ran) to the stage. We walked up to the side of the crowd and wiggled in. A fellow short girl let us in next to her and there was only one person between me and the bar keeping us about two feet away from the stage. And all was well. Until there was a huge shift and the one person between me and the bar turned from the girl in pigtails who was a little taller than me to a girl with long blonde hair who was taller than Chris. And so was her friend next to her. And so was the asshole guy in the leather jacket who never stopped clinging to them. Or elbowing me in the sternum every time the crowd surged. Like it's my fault or something.
The first band, Bleed the Dream, was so bad. I felt bad for them though. They acted like they really wanted some love. They kept looking out during their setup and everyone would cheer. Then they'd like stick a foot out or something and they'd all cheer. It was so funny. But. They sucked.
The second band came on around the time the blonde skanks shoved in front of me, so I never laid eyes on them except when Chris boosted me for a second to see the lead singer's bald-spot. They were called Fair to Midland. They were... Different. Not my taste, and they definitely needed an image clean-up, but they had their own sound, unlike the first band who was just like all the other "cut myself cuz mommy said I can't go out with my friends" emo bands. I more or less slept through the opening acts.
Then GDS started playing. I was moderately excited. It was cool though. And then Shinya walked out. I freaked. It was insane. Kaoru was like right next to us. He just walked up, and was like "Hellz yes bitches, you want me." Only of course he didn't say that. He just held his fist up and nodded like a sexy motherfucker. I love that intense look of his. Omggg. *dies* Toshiya was really close to us too. Before the end of the show, we were three (and at times four) people away from the bar, but we were still less than 10 feet away from the stage and the view was better anyway. Plus Chris very soon had me on his back. Some very nice guy helped me get up on Chris's back, since it was a little hard what with all the moshing.
It was insane how awesomely sexy it was. I was way too excited. There were a couple songs they played that I recognized as favorites, but I could not remember the name. And now I can't even remember how they sounded. Oh man it was the best EVER. What I do remember... And in no specific order... They played "Mr Newsman" - which surprised me - but it was really good and I loved it and such. They did "Agitated Screams of Maggots," "C," and "Clever Sleazoid." Chris gave me funny looks during all four of them. "Mr Newsman" because I guess he didn't realize Kyo was saying "one two three four five" and thus all the fans were counting on our fingers like ignorant little bitches and... It was hilarious during "Agitated Screams of Maggots." The lyrics go "I'll rape your daughter on your grave" so Kyo would sing the "I'll rape your daughter" part, and the audience would scream back "On your grave." It was so loud in there, it was hard to tell who was screaming what, and Chris only saw me and he was giving me this look like "wtf you demonic little weirdo?!" The audience sung the "Dead freedom" part of "C" and many varied parts of "Clever Sleazoid," which basically just excited the pants off everyone. They had seizure lights. It was the greatest. Hmm. They also played "Disabled Complexes" from their new album, and that was the only new song I recognized. I think they only played two others though. I recognized one other new one, but not the name. I think it was "The Fatal Believer" but I'm not entirely positive. And omfg they played "Obscure." I freaked hardcore. I love that song. And was not even expecting it a little. It's really old. They played "Merciless Cult" and "Itoshisa wa Fuhai ni Tsuki," which Mary Ana decided is her favorite Dir en grey song. And then they either played "Dead Tree" or "Kodoku ni Shisu, Yue no Kodoku." I get those two confused a lot? Even though they sound nothing alike. Oh and they played "The Final." I guess that was the crowd favorite. It really gets a lot more hype than it deserves. I mean. It deserves it... Just the other songs deserve more. It's great, but it's not their best. It was just on MTV. Speaking of the song that one #1 on MTV's headbanger ball - they played "Saku." Chris definitely gave some funny looks when we all started screaming the chorus. "Fuck off fuck off" you know. Omg they were awesome.
Towards the beginning of the show Kaoru grabbed a water bottle and took a few drinks then threw it. Then Chris caught it. But I didn't know he caught it. He excitedly wiggled me a little and I was just like "Omg what? Leave me alone!" Then I saw it and was all "Kaoru DNA *^o^*" Christ, I'm a fucking loser. I drank after him. Which means I can't clone him. XD But it was SO HOT. And Mr Leather-Jacket was transferring a god deal of unnecessary heat to me. But omg I got Kaoru's water bottle ♡ He was so insanely sexy the entire time. He was just in jeans and a tan-ish shirt, but he was just like. Kaoru-ly intense. Yeah. Toshiya was adorable. His hair's about down to his shoulders and kind of crinkly wavy. I think I remember him in a tank top? I could be wrong. He had on some realleh sexy baggy jeans that I can't describe. He came to the edge of the stage and I blew this hugely flamboyant kiss at him from on top of Chris's back and then made a heart out of my hands and he smiled at touched his lips and sort of waved at me. It. Made. Me. Die. I'm sorry to tell you guys, but yes, I'm dead. Toshiya blew a little kiss at me. Speaking of death. Die looked good. His hair was more coppery orange-ish brown than red, but it was nice. I can't remember what he was wearing... But I think his shirt was black. He stayed still for a while but then he danced around a lot. He stood on the drum stand for a while, then he and Kaoru traded sides and he tried to work us up. Shinya was freaking beautiful. The same blonde hairstyle as always. I don't want it to change ^^ Not a lot to say about him. You know. He did a really fine job of sitting back there out of view. Kyo... >-> was the best ever. It didn't take him long to get his shirt off. He was in really tight jeans and his Crawlers. Blonde hair, kind of spazzed out. I can't remember if he had contacts in or not. But he was sexy. He scratched himself up a lot and at one point took out a razor and cut up his chest and rubbed it all around on his nipples. Chris was all too thrilled that he rubbed his penis. So was I >->;; But I didn't say anything ^^;;; He scratched the insides of his mouth until blood ("blood") ran down his throat. He threw up ("threw up") a little. Omg I loved it. He kept getting up on the box, tilting his head back, making his eyes really big, and shaking his head at us like "You are shit. Worship me harder." Of course, we'd all freak. He got up there once and thrusted his hips out and flipped us all off and it was so funny. There was like this huge surge of people swarming to the stage with their little fingers extended. I giggled. But omg. He got this bucket of ice water and dumped it on himself and left the bucket on his head. Then he slowly turned the bucket until you could read "RAPE ME" in big white letters on it. Then he held his arms out and every girl and moderately biappreciative guy in the audience started screaming their faces off and spazzing out. It was so sexy. And the place was so small. I mean, where we were, I could literally read his tattoos. I just can't describe how insanely sexy it was. And he did look at me a few times. But it was nothing like touching his lips at me. I love the way when they're done playing, Kyo usually just leaves and all the other member stay for a minute or two to throw shit at us and wave. The camera guys filmed the screaming audience for about five minutes afterwards. Jesus. Kyo looked at me a few times, I made eye contact with Die once - and multiple times with Kaoru. I own Kaoru's spit. Toshiya blew a fucking kiss at me. It was all around wonderful. ♡
