Damn, I disappear for only two days and I almost miss a sockpuppet drama like it was still 2005.

My coworkers are arguing about the taste of their water at the workplace, and how they need an ice machine on top of it.
 
.... What kind of 1st world shit am I working in? LOL.

First time ever that I'm in top 5 of most popular contributors (for the week). Probably the last one too haha. Cheers!

Some weaboo got super creative insulting me today and said I look so disgusting if Mana saw me he would probably show an expression for the first time in his life and barf.

I'm still laughing.

Remember when alice nine used to be somewhat heavy XD
 
It makes me wonder why A9 exists lol

After many (many) listenings to DeG's "Gauze", I could moreless figure out which are the sources of the majority of the songs in the album, in terms of styles and bands. For example, "Mitsu no tsuba", "Yurameki" and "Akuro no oka" recall Luna Sea very easily, "Cage" does for X songs like "Rusty Nail", while "304 blablabla", "Zan" and "Mazohyst" do the same for Kuroyume. 
 
But there are still some songs whose arrangments don't fit in any "constelations" of arranagments I've heard before withing and out of the VK scene. "Yokan", "Raison detre" and "Mask"; the only word that comes to my mind while hearing them is "dance punk", but I can't tell anything else on the subject.
 
Any ideas?
 

So my bf said he didn't like Gauze beyond "Cage", because of Kyo's voice sounding "weird" at him. 
 
Should I dump him?

Keep warm Midwest MHers. Fucking -50 degree windchill is no joke.

This is going to be a really long post, but I literally lost sleep last night thinking about this haha. 
 
I really also don't know why I'm posting this. Maybe I just need to post it somewhere where people will understand. The community that I love so much.
 
Music really has a way to change us, mold us, and destroy us. 
 
I was super into Versailles when they formed. I had always liked Kamijo, and followed him pretty extensively through his Lareine career; although I had to do it through my friend who liked him, she would get mad if I liked him. But that's a different story.
 
I had been a fan of Versailles since the day they started. I fell in love with "The Revenant Choir" instantly. And I fell even more in love with Jasmine You, the beautiful, talented bassist. 
 
I ended up spending all of the money from my first job on Versailles and D stuff. To the point where I made stupid mistakes and overdrafted my account and my parents had to bail me out hah. But I knew that I had found something amazing. Versailles touched my heart in so many ways. 
 
I ended up owning (and still do), their entire discography up through Jubilee. Including rare live-only cds and things I had to use shopping services to purchase. I had to have it, I had to support this amazingly talented band. 
 
And then it hit me like a bag of bricks. Jasmine You had passed away. As quickly as they had come, they were gone. And I couldn't handle it. I was such a huge fan of his, I lost it. I had never cried over a celebrity death before, but I literally played "Episode" over 1,000 times, my grief was very strong. I didn't know how to deal with the fact that a musician that I loved so dearly was gone from the world. 
 
I didn't touch Versailles for years. I wouldn't follow them, wouldn't buy their other cds. I was grieving in that way. I didn't want to hear Versailles without Jasmine in it. And whenever any of their Jasmine-included songs would play, I would skip it, as it would upset me to the point of tears. I just couldn't do it.
 
Last night, I was watching some Kamijo videos. I can listen to his solo stuff just fine. And Lareine, too. Lareine is one of my favorite older bands; so I'm okay with them. On youtube, I was just clicking around. Watching Kamijo video after video. And then I saw it. 
 
"Remember Forever." 
 
A song dedicated to Jasmine, that I had never listened to, because it was on a cd that I had never bought. That I didn't know existed, because I had excluded myself from the world of Versailles. It was a live video, so I clicked on it.
 
I was not expecting the emotional ride that I went on. Purple lights on the stage; lights for him. For my bassist. And a song that was so beautiful, I started bawling my eyes out. It was written for him, and you could tell. The quietness of the audience made it even more real. But it was beautiful.
 
After I had finished watching it, I spent a lot of time just listening to Versailles. Thinking about Jasmine, and how happy he had made me when he was alive. And I realized that I shouldn't be afraid of change. I should continue to go on, even if something sad, or horrible happens. And that I should continue on. 
 
Jasmine is a beautiful person, a memory that should never be forgotten. And I never will forget about him. It'll be 10 years in November since his passing. And I think I'm brave enough to play Versailles again. To REALLY enjoy them again. 
 
For Jasmine's sake. 
 
 

The Lunar Eclipse brought this song to mind. I miss these guys!
 
 

The fact I have to re-purchase games from my childhood because of disk failure is a stark reminder that I won’t have those games in my life forever
 
Today was the deepest blow, I had to reorder Super Smash Bros. Melee, my current copy has formed a crack on the disc hole

You know at times I'm kinda grateful that Kiyoharu to this day still continues a singing career.
