I'm definitely going to be in Sydney, but I'm still tossing up whether to go to Melbourne or not... flights are kinda expensive. But I want to, it'd be nice to see something different, even for a day xD;;; ...not to mention seeing GPKISM and SISeN twice, omfg.

Still don't have anything worthwhile art-wise to show I'm working on it, though! Gotta get that gift art done... I'm running out of time now, noes! I will not end up pulling an allnighter the night before the concert to finish art, not this year! ¬.¬ *determined*

uh... not much else, really... just uni. Oh, and I'm going to Animania this coming saturday (28th March) to hand out flyers for the tour, if anyone else is going ^^

じゃね〜☆

I really don't update here much, do I? I guess it's coz I haven't done much art.... but, that should change in the next month or so, I have some gift art to do before April Why? Well~ I might never get to see BLOOD again (which is still entirely depressing ._.) but my much beloved GPKISM is returning down under, as well as DJ SiSeN They're supporting Aural Vampire (who are not Aural Window xDDD as much as I keep typing so... force of habit, lol) who are doing a 4 date Australian tour:



I'm definitely going to Sydney, who's with me?
And even if you're not, feel free to spread the word to anyone who might be interested... the more people that come, the more chance of getting other J-artists to come down to Australia~ :3

They're made by Kiwamu, btw ^^

So yeah... some gift art to be drawn now, hehe. And with a lot more effort than last year... damn I'm ashamed of those ¬.¬;;;

Oh, and in my last entry (which was ages ago, jesus *fails*) I mentioned I ordered BLOOD's final (TT^TT) album and GPKISM's first? Well, they turned up a couple of days after that entry xD;;; Kiwamu is really something when it comes to posting goodies, lol. I got BLOOD's album about 3 weeks early, and GPKISM's 2 months before the official release date o_O;;; (I ordered them separately, but he sent them together xD) So much for getting it on my birthday... oh well. That's still the official date, I can still gloat xD;;;; And they're both awesome. I'm entirely in love with GPKISM's new song "Abaddon"... Kiwamu wrote it, so it's a little different to usual, but still utterly amazing. I can't wait to hear it live~ <333

Anyway... even if I don't have any art for a little while, I found a handwriting meme that looked interesting, so I'll give that a go xD;;; It's kinda boring without uni right now, lol. Though, class starts in a week... dammit xDD
Ah, I'll find something to do in the meantime... like see Tripod on the Duckpond Lawn on wednesday. Heck yes much?

Actually, it's probably about time I made a new ID... eh, I'll get to it xD Could probably use a journal header too... though that's probably about as likely as the LJ layout I've been saying I'll make for myself, for at least a year, lmao *is lazy*

hmm... I'll try update here more often, ne~ :'D;;;

I thought I'd better post here to show I'm still alive, it's been a while

Anyway, I hope everyone had a good new year ^^
Mine was kinda quiet, but eh. Life is pretty quiet atm, really. A break at the moment, but other than that my summer has been japanese (2 days a week, plus homework etc), games (I have Crisis Core now, and it's awesome ) and occasionally anime or dvds (I did end up spending quite a few nights watching Disney movies for I am one who never grows up, lol). Not much else other than that... not much in the way of art (or at least anything worth putting up) hence my lack of activity Only silly chibis draw on the train, or in boredom... definitely not any actual art ._.

But. This year I really am going to try and do more on here. After all, I'll never improve if I don't try, ne? And I do have some ideas for pictures, it's just a matter of getting them onto paper. Easier said than done...


My other aim for this year is to finish uni... I can't keep dragging it out forever, and honestly I'm kinda getting sick of it. Not that I really want to be out in the world and get a job but... it's gotta happen sometime xD;;; Luckily I think I've got most of my compsci stuff down now, so I should be able to just fill up with slightly more enjoyable things (though, no more easy 100-level subjects D: darnit)

Let's hope this year turns out ok ^^

Though, it'll be hard to top BLOOD/GPKISM... and I'm still shattered that BLOOD are disbanding ;o; especially with no sign of them coming back to Australia... but, I guess that's life *sigh* Anyway, I've got their final album pre-ordered, as well as GPKISM's debut album (which, awesomely, is going to be released on my birthday. Booyah! *loves GPK* ). So that's something to look forward to at least.
And while at the end of last year I missed seeing SUGIZO (yeah, ex-Luna Sea, guitar god Sugizo) perform in Australia (only found out on the day of, which sucked since it was in Melbourne... with more warning, I would have totally found a way to go ¬.¬ ) but he seems keen to come back (with Luna Sea? Or S.K.I.N.? Or even X Japan? who knows...) so that's pretty awesome.


Yeah, I think this year is going to be ok ^.^
Now let's just hope I can actually achieve my goals for a change xD;;;

So, how was everyone else's new year? Or highs and lows from last year? Things you're looking forward to? :3

...and shattered it into a thousand pieces.



So...
...it seems BLOOD are disbanding next year TT^TT


....it's horribly depressing, and leaves me rather amazingly heartbroken they're releasing one more album at the end of January, and touring america.... and that's all that's been said. Final album, final tour ;o;

...I want them to come back here so much. Hear that Kiwamu, COME BACK TO AUSTRALIA, WE WANT YOU. And bring Kaede, dammit ._. *wants so much*
Ever since the concert in june I've been wanting, desperately, too see them again (or just to see Kaede at all......) and now it's looking like I'll never get the chance ;3; I'd do anything to see them if they ever came back, omfg.

So yeah, totally ruined my day ¬.¬;;; I just want to cry, now. I think it hurts more coz I kinda sorta saw it coming, a little, but I didn't want to think about it.

And what's more, seems like Fu-ki and Kaede are gonna retire from music after..... and this saddens me greatly. Sure Kiwamu will still be around, coz of GPKISM, and Ryo does his own thing (his songs are quite good, actually) but... Kaede ;3; and Fu-ki, that amazing body voice... it's depressing. Epically so.



...in completely random and un-related other news, I got a ticket to see Delta a couple of weeks ago.... a ticket to see her in WOLLONGONG. Why yes, I don't even have to go to Sydney, ahaha. It's pretty amazing. I could have had a seat in the front row but... I'm not really that hardcore of a fan |D;;; The one I do have is still pretty close though, on some of the raised seating on the side... aisle seat (booyah, no climbing over people for me!). Should be good The actual day isn't til sometime in january though :3


.......gah, I'm so damn depressed over BLOOD, though. Kiwamu, you could at least explain yourself and the reason WHY alnxljsndcljdnv. *sigh* I just hope that they announce more of their tour, that the few days in america isn't all of it, coz that would be really depressing. People in Europe and down here love them too, and I know Kiwamu knows that ¬.¬ especially for Australia....

And on top of that, Yoshiki wrote a blog for the first time since... march? And I thought it would be a good thing, since yesterday was his birthday and all. But, it was kinda angsty, melancholy.... depressing, not to mention entirely in FRENCH (why a japanese guy living in america was writing in french... I don't know. Except, he was apologising to the fans in paris coz X japan's show got postponed (again) until next year...) so I had to break out babelfish (so to speak... I actually used google xD). Might have been nicer to remain oblivious, since he seems to be back in a hating himself stage... which makes me sad since he seemed actually happy in recent pictures, but... who knows. I just wish he'd look after himself *sigh*

bah. I'm going to go play some zOMG or watch some random DaizyStripper comment I downloaded (god those boys are dorks, and it's refreshing after a day like this) in an attempt to bring my mood up.
Oh, I may put some art up over the coming weeks... coz I may or may not end up drawing fanart to try and make myself feel a little better about BLOOD. It's a big maybe though... class starts 1 Dec... I'm kinda looking forward to the distraction now.

じゃ。

PS: the title of this journal is the name of an instrumental BLOOD song, off their album "The Reaper Behind Me"... seemed vaguely appropriate, in a strange twisted corner of my mind ._.
...it's also the name of the picture of Kaede I drew ^^

It's been quite a while since I updated this journal.... oops? XD;;; If you really want to know what's been going on (and I don't know why you would, my life is boring and rather jrock oriented) then I do update my LiveJournal far more regularly.

But basically.... I bought that GPKISM single I mentioned in my last entry (and it's amazing, as expected) as well as joining the street team ^^
I also recently bought DaizyStripper's new single (the shipping cost more than the cd, wtf) and I'm really loving it <3 Now I really want to buy alice nine.'s new dvd but the exchange rate would rape me ;3;

Uni is nearly over for the year... I have an exam tomorrow morning and then I'm done! (and yes, I really should be studying right about now xD lol). Well, done for a few weeks anyway, I'm doing japanese over summer session, but it's only going to take up 2 days a week so I can deal with that

But that's pretty much my life atm, anyway ^^

Now, a little meme thing. I commented on both *treeworshipper and =Sakuyuki's journals so that's why I have two letters (assigned from each of them respectively).

Comment to this journal and I will assign you a letter to make a journal to make a list of 10 things you like that start with said assigned letter.

A:
• Alice Nine.
• Alpha
• AnCafe
• Apple (the brand, not the fruit )
• Asagi
• Acid Black Cherry
• Alice in Wonderland
• Arena37ºC
• Ameba blogs (アメブロ )
• Aural Window

G:
• GPKISM
• Gothique Prince Ken (...what, it counts ¬.¬ )
• Gackt
• (the) GazettE
• gold
• gmail
• games
• gothic & lolita
• Guren (Gazette song ^^)
• ...gheii? (I'm clutching at straws here... *fails*)

God that got harder towards the end. G was such a difficult letter D: And yeah, mostly jrock related. What can I say, I have no imagination xD;;;;

...now I probably won't update for another few months 8D However, I may put up some art occasionally... I've been in the mood for drawing, lately. So you never know :3
