Deftones concert 2007

Sat, 09 Jun 2007 12:34:10 GMT

Our day started off at 6:05 am. Joe Nicols' "Tequila makes her clothes fall off" woke us up. lol, yay for funky alarm ringtones on cellphones! Once we got up and got moving, we made it down to the bus station around 7:45-ish. After waiting an hour to get tickets, we got on the bus and headed up to NYC!!

On the way up, we found out that the bus' AC didn't work. So, when the bus driver took a 15 min break to fill up the tank and to stretch in NJ, he opened the emergency exit roof door to allow us some air...which it made it feel 10 times better. Traffic also jammed up on us right before we entered NY.

Then the bus dropped us off in Chinatown. Well, dumb me didn't know there was an E. Broadway in Chinatown. So, the directions that I had gotten off of mapquest were completely useless. We ended up walking up through Chinatown to find a subway that would take us to 51st (the venue was on 52nd). So, we hopped onto the subway and took it up, which we found that was way more cooler than walking. ^^* When the subway dropped us off, we walked majority of the way down 52nd until we reached the venue, where we met up with blind_aiko . ^^ We sat down our stuff, met more people, and chatted for about 5 hours. I think it was funny how many Dir en grey fans there were. If one of us spotted a Deftones fan, we'd turn to the group and gasp, "Omg...I just saw a Deftones fan!" And then the rest of us would gasp in return, then burst in a fit of laughter.

Once the doors opened at 7 pm, we all ran like hell (well, walked fast in Security's eyes) into Roseland. On the way in, I realized that they had a Dir en grey vinyl sticker thing that could go on the car window. I made a mental note that I had to get that on my way out. But, after being patted down and De's bag being searched, we made a mad dash into the hall. I got second row in the mosh!! And I have brusies from trying to keep it.

Fall of Troy was good. You couldn't hear a word the vocalist/guitarist was singing, so the whole time, all I heard was a screaming guitar, bass, and loud drums. But they weren't as bad as I had thought they were going to be. But, the vocalist kept teasing us saying, "You want Dir en grey?!" The audience cheers. The bassist would laugh and the vocalist turned back on the mike, "Well, we've got two more songs! So, you can see Dir en grey after those!"

...And those songs would last F.O.R.E.V.E.R. Just when you thought one song was over....no, they would start right back up again.

Then, just after the roadies tuned up and set up Dir's instruments, the lights dimmed. The most pit got twice as crowded, and the crowd roared, chanting Dir en grey over and over. There was this cute little Japanese girl that was next to me, probably as tall as Lena and way smaller in weight, and De, the lady beside us, two other girls in front of me, and I were trying to protect this girl to keep her from getting crushed. It didn't work too well, cause there was this black haired (bitch whore) who kept putting her elbow in my face, trying to get closer to the stage. I'll explain more on her later.

Once again, I don't remember the list of songs they did. I do remember that they did Concieved Sorrow, 艶かしき安息、躊躇いに微笑み (Namamekashiki Ansoku, Tamerai ni Hohoemi), Merciless Cult, The Final, Dead Tree and Grief. I think 凌辱の雨 (Ryoujoko no Ame) was played, but I'm not 100% sure. I especially remember Grief, because I almost passed out during it, I was getting so crushed.

During the concert though, the black haired (bitch whore) decided she wanted De's spot right behind me. De stopped her, and the bitch decides to spit her gum into De's hair. Then she proceeds to try and push me out of the way and only when Grief came on did I let her, because I just got so weak I couldn't stop her. But, during one of Kyo's accapella's, she started screaming, "Shinya! I love you Shinya!" ....and it's one of those things were you DON'T scream and hollar out during Kyo's accapella's. We were trying to tell her that and she was all, "I don't give if Kyo's singing!" Then we were trying to leave after Dir (only because we had to catch the bus), she ended up dragging De and I both out and wondered why De and I were telling her to let go. She almost turned around to hit De, and I stepped in between and glared at her. Stupid bitch.

I didn't the chance to see Missy, sadly. I kinda wanted to. Just to laugh.

We took a taxi back to Chinatown and waited on the bus. While we were waiting for the bus to take off, De and I talked about how it didn't really look like the guys were having fun, except Kyo. Kyo really got into the concert. But, they didn't interact with the crowd, they didn't throw water, nothing. And I like Die's blonde hair. He's still a better red head, but the blonde doesn't look bad.

All in all, it was a good concert. I just need a shower and some food now and I'll be good.

Ja ne minna-san! Until next entry!

"Taste the Destiny..."

Well, first thing's Lowe's.....

Last Saturday I was stuck Outside and did over $15k in sales....yea, that's impressive....but, I only got a chance off of my feet for an hour and fifteen minutes. And to deal with....

Customer: "Hi, can I have ten bags of mulch?"
Me: "What kind of mulch ma'am?" *continues ringing current customer*
Customer: "Oh, just your normal mulch."
Me: "Uh, ma'am, we have several different kinds of mulch, and it's all in aisle 8. If you can tell me which kind, I'd be glad to ring you out for ten bags."
Customer: "Don't you have just plain mulch?"
Me: "No, ma'am, we don't."
Customer: "Well, good god, why does everything have to be so complicated? Please tell someone to meet me back in that aisle." *storms off*

Yea, I hate customers. I hate retail. STUPID PEOPLE SUCK!!! ....Like Jane did....I'm kinda glad I took her off my friends list. >> But, I'm not going to talk about her behind her back...it would only stoop me to her level.....

Anyways, Trish (my favorite head cashier) was fired on Monday. Apparently she let a shopping cart full of tools almost over $1k out the door. To me (and a couple other cashiers) they've been looking for a reason to fire her anyways.

Good news, I'm gonna email the station director of WHFC and see if he'll let me do a show on the radio since I am...*clears throat and straightens up* a Broadcasting Institute of Maryland Alumnist (A top ranking Broadcasting school in the nation). Seriously, I am! ...Yea, I didn't completely graduate because they wouldn't approve my audition tape, but I completed the course nonetheless! *nodnod* But, so yea, I'll hopefully start a branch of Otakunet up to WHFC.

...I miss Steve. I haven't talked to that boy in god knows how long...I wonder if he's on myspace...? I'll search later when I have the time. I miss Erica too....she was awesome.

I also wanna talk to Chris, who helped me out WAMD but now works at WXCY in Havre de Grace, and see if he can help me out a bit. Maybe I can get that whiny little son of a nose talker news reporter off of the air. God, I don't know who that news reporter is, but his voice is soooo whiny it's like nails on a chalkboard....*whimpers and covers ears*

Changing subjects, but we lost our first game of the season on Monday night. Not too bad of loss, 10 - 9. My thighs hurt like hell though.

I did IM De...since she fucking stood me up on Sunday......

MiaYagyu91: I'm not gonna start shit with you, but I just wanted to let you know that I didn't appreciate being left hanging on Sunday. I know you were cleaning, but you could have called me and told me that you couldn't hang out. I wouldn't have been mad...I would have understood since it was just a random spur of the moment idea. But this is the last time I'll make the first contact with you....and I promise it this time. You can talk to me if you want to...because that's all our friendship seems right now. If you wanna be friends, give me a hollar and I'll think about it. Until then, talk to you whenever you feel like it.

Alright, so well, I gotta call it a night. Open at work tomorrow...fun times...>>

Oyasumi-nasai minna-san!

Sakura Matsuri Cosplay

Tue, 17 Apr 2007 20:18:41 GMT

Okay, so I had my arm twisted by a really good price on a wig.....So, I cosplayed Die from the [KR] Cube PV

My friends found it amusing that Die would stand under a Woman's bathroom sign....There was actually an older gentleman tell me that I was headed the wrong way. When I took off the glasses and asked him, "What?" His eyes widened and he walked away. XD

Die, Tuxedo Mask, and Izumi from He is my Master! on the streets of DC.

A Slight Delay in Memory

Wed, 21 Mar 2007 09:37:07 GMT

Okay, so I was watching the It Withers and Withers tour DVD last night before I went to bed....and I had a slight flashback from the concert....I remembered when Kyo was singing his a capella on stage, and a holy light shown over him, that I raised my arms and outstretched my fingers, allowing his voice to wash over me. I feel slightly Satanic admitting that....I think that's the Christian inside of me scolding me....XD ....What little Christian there is inside of me. ^^*

Sometimes, it's amazing what you can remember with just little things you see or watch.

I find it funny how everyone at Lowe's doesn't believe me when I tell them I listen to the "Fuck you and Piss off" hardcore thrash rock...especially Japanese. Brenda told me that when she saw my myspace and read my review for the Inward Scream Tour 2007 Rams Head Live! show, that she couldn't believe I wasn't really the quiet, mildly shy, and kind girl I protray at work.

I found out that there are a lot of sides to me than I realize, but you know, I don't think I would be the same person if I didn't have those sides, ne?

Alright, I gotta go get ready for an interview with Northwest Airlines!! ....It's down in Arlington, VA. (Thank God De's going with me) Wish me luck, minna-san!

"FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK ABUGABUGABUGA

FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK ABUGABUGABUGA

Kyo's lyrical genius knows no bounds... xD;;;"

My Moon Child Review

Fri, 23 Feb 2007 16:00:00 GMT

(x posted in Hantaa Mistress' myspace, Miawinner's LJ, and MiaYagyu's Xanga)

*cries* I am now a Gackt and HYDE fan....no doubt....cause...omg...that movie rocked.....

For those who don't know what I am referring to...which probably most don't....go to Youtube and type in Moon Child....it's split into 9 different things...cause Youtube's a pain in the ass....>> But, it's really good. It's in Japanese/Catonese, but there are English Subtitles.

Omg....Gackt's hott....

Omg....HYDE's hott.....

Although...in some ways Moon Child reminded me of like a Brokeback Mountain deal, but instead of Cowboys and shit....it's Vampires and gangsters.

Basically, the movie starts out in 2014 with little Sho....

....Wait, why the hell am I describing this????? I can't tell stories....I suck at that...always have, always will.....

Point being.....SEE THE DAMN MOVIE!!! It is divine and heavenly...and just...omg...*fangirls*

Since I can't give twenty thousand stars.....cause that's just not a rating.....I'll give it 5 Stars!! Cause....yea...I'd watch HYDE and Gackt do each other....and then I'd possibly get in on the fun....XD

So, while I bite the end of an imaginary handkerchief and tears pour out of my eyes, I will bid you all adieu...kittens....^^*

Reply to this post, and I'll tell you one reason why I like you. Then put this in your own journal (you don't need to if you don't want to), and spread the love.

Please don't let my dreams run dry...

Thu, 07 Dec 2006 10:44:35 GMT

Damn....I haven't updated this thing in FOREVER......gomenasi! It's getting hard to update my livejournal as much anymore....and since I have few mins before I have to be back to work....

My Aunt passed away on October 28th...it's hard to believe it's already been a month since she passed on. So, Halloween plans were shot....but we made up for it. XD

Anou....what else? Oh, I'm a Death Note-aholic......I <3 LxRaito goodness.

Oh, finals are coming up.....I had my first final last night....it sucked. Basically, it was a writing final. We had to write up two papers, no rough draft, nothing. Then my teacher hands in the paper to the Dean of College and then he passes them out to all the other english teachers. If we pass the paper, we pass the class. If we fail...well, we can't go onto English 101. *sighs* Why does it all have to be hard....?

Well, I gotta get back to work....lunch hour is always the fastest hour of the day....><
