J Rock and Life

Hallo! Ich kann nicht glauben, dass es schon September ist! Wir hatten leider keine Sommer in England, das Wetter war total schrecklich! Es tut mir sehr sehr sehr (x100) leid, dass ich nichts über Hazza's Blog gesagt habe. Ich habe kürzlich alles gelesen und es scheint, als ob du eine fantastische Zeit hattest!! Ich kann nicht glauben, dass Takeru geweint hat! Wenn ich da wäre, hätte ich geweint! Ich bin so so neidisch, dass du the GazettE gesehen hast! Das neue Single heisst Leech. Ich glaube, es wird im November veröffentlicht.

In einem Monat wird ich in Deutschland sein!!! Ich bin total aufgeregt aber auch nervös! Ich glaube (und hoffe), dass alles bereit ist und das einzige Ding, das ich befürchte, ist wie ich von Frankfurt nach Heidelberg fahren kann oder ob ich abgeholt sein wird. Meine Patin hat mir gesagt, dass sie mich nicht treffen kann aber ich glaube die Uni wird etwas organisieren und jemand wird mich treffen.

Es ist auch 6 Monate bis Sazza und ich wird in Japan sein!!! YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Ich kann nicht warten!! Ich freue mich total darauf! Gestern hab ich gehört, dass alice nine. eine DVD in Oktober veröffentlichen wird!!! Jemand, der da sein war, hat gesagt, dass es Shou x Hiroto fanservice gibt und auch im letzten lied tragen Saga und Hiroto keinen Oberteile! A9 veröffentlicht auch ein neues Single in Dezember und ich stelle mich vor, dass es prima wird!! Gestern war ich mich total verwundert. Tora hat etwas in sein Blog geschrieben! Das erste mal in 6 Monaten!

Am Donnerstag geht Henry zum Tierarzt für seine jahrliche Nachuntersuchung und Spritzen Er hasst den Tierarzt und er versucht IMMER zu fliehen! Ich wird ein Foto von ihn machen und posten. Er ist so süss!!

Also...ich wird jetzt gehen, weil ich schlafen muss!

Bis Bald

Tchüss!!

I'm now 20 officially old!! I can now join Hazza, Sazza and Jazza in the 20+ group! My birthday was pretty good. Thank you for all of you messages on facebook!!! Nothing too eventful, but we went out for a 5 course meal at the Tanners Restaurant in Plymouth
( http://www.tannersrestaurant.com/ ) and the food was AMAZING!!! It's defiantely the best English meal I've had in a long time, well probably since the last time we went there for my 18th!

Me and my mum went shopping the day after and I bought a new bag and some tops, which are pretty nice. I also downloaded the GazettE dvd which is the best dvd they've ever done in my opinion. They all look über hot in it too(...well Uruha looks more pretty than hot but he still looks great!)

I've now booked my plane ticket for Deutschland and now know where I'm staying too. For some reason I'm on the Science Campus!! I highly doubt that they'll want me near any technical sciency stuff, I wouldn't have a clue what I'm doing, I'd have to phone up the Science Geek (aka Sazza ) and ask her! I just hope it isn't too far away from the languages bit. After having to walk a maximum of 5 mins to uni every day for 2 years, I don't know what I'll do if it's much longer!

Something pretty scary happened last night Henry's getting pretty old now and he was coughing but then he couldn't catch his breath and he collapsed right in front of me. Luckily I was on the floor with him so I could stop him from hurting himself too much but I was so scared that he was going to die! All of this happened at 2am so I was all by myself which didn't help matters, but I felt so helpless. He was only on the floor for less than a minute, so it could have been much much worse but it still was a pretty scary thing to have happened.

On a MUCH lighter note, alice nine. made number 3 on the Oricon charts!!!! Wohoo!!!!!!!!! It's their highest ever position!!! They're also looking really hot too at the moment! PSC must have a new sexy policy or something!!!

Although I keep saying I'll keep this updated regularly, I never do, so I'm not promising anything now!!!

Bye!!

I'm still incredibly bored at home. There's just NOTHING to do! I got invited out to the pub by someone I used to go to school with to celebrate someone I used to go to school with's birthday. I never even liked her, so why should I celebrate her birthday?!?! She used to be a real bitch to one of my friends and there's no way I'm going to sit in a pub with a bunch of people I used to go to school with, but never actually liked, to celebrate a bitches birthday! I'd rather stay at home and do nothing.

The dentist went better than expected actually. I wasn't in any pain throughout the visit, which was a relief, just a slight bit of discomfort. I just kept focusing on all the J Rock gig's I've been to in the last year to take my mind off the fact I had drills and vibrating machines in my mouth. It definitely worked and I will be using the same thoughts next Monday too!

I'll probably go and see my nan today... not the most thrilling thing to do, but it means I can wait at least 2 weeks before I have to go and see her again. People say you can't choose your family and they make it sound like it's a good thing...in some respects, I think friends are more important than family BECAUSE you can choose them, which results in you actually spending time with people that you want to, not are forced to by genetics. If I could choose my family, I think I wouldn't choose the one I've got to be honest. My mum and dad aren't really the issue, it's just everyone else. Once I leave home for good, I doubt I'll ever see any of them again, and to be honest I don't really want to. We're not close and that's a good thing. I've been surprised about how well I'm getting on with my dad at the moment. We haven't argued once since I've been home and we just seem to get along much better than we used to. Me and my mum seem to be growing apart a bit, which is quite sad, considering as I was growing up I always felt closer to her than my dad, but now we have nothing to talk about and it's getting harder just trying to be normal around her.

I think the best thing about being at home, is that I get to spend time with my dog Henry. I love him to bits and he never annoys me. Even though he probably doesn't listen and understand, it's good just to talk to/at him and say everything that's bothering me. It's much better than just bottling it up.

I have 23 days left as a teenager and I can't say I'm thrilled about turning 20. Even though you're an adult when you're 18, you still don't feel grown up. I think when you turn 20, you are an adult and you have to have a clear idea of where your life is going, which I don't which totally scares me! I guess I just don't want to grow up and be old!!!

The previews are out for Strawberry Fuzz and Kochoran, they're both AMAZING!!! and two completely different types of songs. I'm so glad that alice nine. keep putting out such good music! I can't wait until I can go and see one of their lives! J Rock Invasion in Cologne was good, but I can't wait to go and see them for longer than 45 minutes!

The GazettE dvd is out soon so that'll be a must watch! I'm trying to figure out at the moment, whether the dvd on amazon.de will have subs with it becuase it's released 3 days later than the Japanese version which makes me think that it'll be the European release, not an import from Japan. I really want the dvd, but I don't really want to get it, if it hasn't got subs with it, because everyone knows Ruki REALLY likes to talk, and it would be good to be able to know what he's saying!
I read a translated version of a recent interview with Aoi the other day and some of what he said really surprised me. By what he said, it doesn't seem like the GazettE are really close as a band and he said that he feels really distant to Uruha!!! I don't know what's gone on between them, but they should fix whatever problems they're having!!!

That's it for now, can't think of anything else to say...

Until next time
Bai Bai!!!

I know it's been a while since part one, but I've been at home and I have to be downstairs if I want to use the internet.It's so frustrating and it means that I have to keep transporting my laptop from my bedroom to the living room every time I want to use the internet

Anyway...after I rushed to finish my packing, I found out that my parents were stuck in a traffic jam on the M6 which meant I had to wait another 2 hours! I had nothing to do and now all of my stuff was neatly packed away. When they finally arrived I had to walk over to their hotel to meet them and then decide what we were going to do and when. This whole decision making process took well over an hour which meant it was probably about half seven in the evening now. We agreed to pack all of my stuff into the car first and then go to Wasabi for a delicious meal (at least in my opinion anyway).
So...the big move...it took forever to shift all of the boxes from my room to outside the lift, then from outside the lift to inside the lift, then from the lift to the area by reception, and then finally to the car. My mum got off lightly and just stood by all of my stuff 'watching over it'. Once we crammed everything in to the car, we returned to the hotel car park, to park up for the night and then proceeded to walk up to China town, for my second meal of the day (unbeknown to my parents).
As soon as we entered Wasabi, my mum suddenly looked very awkward and you could just see how she didn't really want to be there. My dad however, seemed pleased to be trying something new, which pleasantly surprised me!
Once we sat down, they refused to decide on what to order for themselves, even though I had shown them a menu from the internet at least a week in advance. My mum insisted that I ordered for them because as she reminded me in a hushed snarl that they didn't know what anything was. So after finally going through all of their options for them we ordered. Next came the embarassment of asking for forks and then as we all got set meals, we could all choose sushi off the belt. This meant again that I had to pick for them. All my mum said to me, every time I suggested something was "this isn't raw is it?" or "it's all cooked isn't it?" she couldn't even think about the possibility of even trying anything new! The minute she put the first sushi into her mouth you could see the 'old people look' when they clearly disapprove of something. I could tell she hated it and it put her in a bad mood for the rest of the night. My dad on the other hand, seemed eager to try something new and he enjoyed the sushi. The only thing was at the end when the waiter came to give us the bill (the one that laughed when Hazza drank my drink instead of her own empty one) he decided to speak louder and speak in broken english and over emphasise everything because he thought the waiter might not understand him! It was so embarassing and my dad kept trying to engage the waiter in conversation for some reason! It was the longest he'd EVER been at our table! I just wanted to get out of there as soon as possible! I think my mum has something against Japan. She doesn't like the food (didn't even try to like it in my opinion), rejects the music and doesn't even try to listen to her future son in law's awesome guitar playing skills!
I finally got the Alice in Wonder Film DVD (it was on ebay for £7! how could I not buy it!!!) and watched it on my laptop sitting on the sofa next to my anti Japan mother. Unfortunately it was at the point where Hazza's 'son' decided to get overly affectionate with Shou and kissed him on the cheek. It had to be at that precise moment when my mum decided to look over and go "and these are all straight men are they?!" I had to lol at that and say yea, of course (not mentioning the fact that Shou probably isn't and has watched that scene over and over again in the privacy of his own bedroom ) Just cos two men decide to be affectionate, doesn't mean they're gay! The only thing that could have been worse, was if she saw Saga and Shou kiss. I mean, that's a full on snog, where Shou doesn't pull away and clings on to Saga for as long as possible (poor him!). I really don't know what she'd say if she saw that!

I haven't told my parents that I'm escaping to London for a couple of days yet to see Kagrra,. I don't know how to bring it up, so any suggestions are welcome!

Anyway...life at home is incredibly BORING and I really miss 'the Crew', Manchester and Wasabi! I also have one of four fillings today, which I'm not nyappy about and I really don't want to go

I can't think of anything else to rant talk about, so I'll go and try to find something to do, to make my life a little less boring!
I'll definately update sooner next time, it gives me something to do and a place to vent my frustrations with my mother!

Bye!

I've been soooooooo busy today! I have nothing to do all week and then everything to do on one day. Typical! Part 1 of my day was the good part. I met up with Sazza and Jenni and went for a lunch at Mr Fu's where we recieved free tea, probably due to Sazza shouting really loudly that Mr Fu was racist as he didn't give us free tea the last time we went in. Slightly embarrassing, but it worked and we received our tea. After that she convinced Jenni to get an iced lemon tea, which she claimed to be amazing. It wasn't and Jenni didn't like it that much, so Sazza had to drink it after pouring tons of liquid sugar into it. It was rediculously sweet and I have no idea how she can drink it! As Sazza kept reminding us it was Ken's (Gacky's) birthday and she made us have photos taken looking rediculously happy, at one point she even imagined that he was in the spare chair next to her! I worry sometimes...

After that we went to 3 Chinese Supermarkets looking for Mochi but we didn't find any it was a very sad moment. The only ones we could find were mung bean (Hazza has had previous bad experiences with that) and the rip off Chinese version, which are not round. After our failed Mochi mission, we went to a Chinese bakery and had custard doughnuts paid for by Sazza (thank you!) they were delicious and we then proceeded to take pictures, which I'm sure will end up on facebook when Sazza gets her computer back from the laptop doctor.

After recieving hourly updates from my parents telling me where the were on the motorway, I decided to go home and pack. That was when my day turned stressful and slightly boring!

...to be continued

I hate packing, it is offically the most boring and time consuming thing a person can ever do! Today I ventured out to Staples in Deansgate to buy some boxes. It was even a hassle to carry them around, as they were so big

When I returned I actually had to assemble them, which meant a good half an hour of me trying to figure out which bit goes where and then when I finally finished doing it, my big stack of now fully assembled boxes fell on top of me. UNNYAPPY!

Now comes the stressful part. What if I can't pack basically all of my life into these boxes or worse still, they wont fit in the car my parents are going to collect me in?! It's just one big hassle and worry. I hate stress and normally I do everything in my power to avoid it, but this time, I think it's unavoidable

Actually packing is the boring part and thanks to my laptop with an internet connection, I have an unlimited amount of destractions. Firstly, I decided to watch one of the longest DVD's I own, GazettE's NLSG tour from beginning to end and as that killed a good 3 hours, my day was slowly passing me by. Youtube came after that and I listed to a lot of Miyavi.

The only really productive thing that I have done today, is remove all of my posters (inc. bluetack) from my walls, which means I have no Tora to look at anymore

This was yet another way to waste time, and as I can't think of anything else to say, I'll go and find another way to avoid packing!

Bye!

So after waiting for a year and a half the time has come for Hazza to leave us for Japan. I'm soooo jealous that she gets to go to the land of J Rock but also sad, as I wont see her for a very very long time, which will be very weird, as it's extremely rare if I don't see her at least once a day. Me and Sazza are feeling very abandoned right about now, and me even more so as Sazza is leaving on Sunday too, so I'm going to be all alone in Manchester

To say goodbye to Hazza (and show what such good friends we are ) we threw her a 'Goodbye, you're leaving us for Chiyu SuG party'. It involved a lot of hushed discussions (see I do have an indoor voice Hazza!!!) and very detailed planning to create the party of the year. On Tuesday me and Sazza went on a cake getting mission to Asda, to get Hazza the perfect Chiyu cake.

The valentines day background was the most appropriate, even though it is June, as we didn't want a Happy Birthday, or any other predictable message on it. At Asda we also bought party supplies with a pin the tail on the yuki game and party poppers, which we used to scare Hazza when she arrived at Sazza's house. Thinking back, I'm not surprised she was scared as we were in Rusholme and it could have been gun shots.

So after 3 hours of setting up the house and making questionable pink drink/dessert Pakistani things (even the packet didn't know exactly what it was) we got Hazza to come over. She was very surprised and judging by her face, she seemed pleased. We then ate some delicious Korean Pizza made by Jazza and listened to some music and talked about J Rock!

We surprised Hazza with her Chiyu cake when we came back from the cinema and she proceeded to give him some plastic surgery, which led to a very scary looking Chiyu! I just hope that if, sorry when, she meets him and falls madly in love with him even though she already is he will NEVER EVER see the cake, or even worse the mutilations made to his pretty face on the cake!!!

After we deflated her Hazza memorial guitar and packed up everything else we said bye to Sazza and Jazza and left Rusholme and headed back home. Our goodbye party was over, which just meant that Hazza actually HAS to go now, as we've said goodbye, and it would just be stupid if she turned around and said, actually I'll stay here!

In all seriousness, I hope Hazza has an amazing time in Japan and comes back fluent and engaged to Chiyu! Although this is really soppy, I will miss her a lot and I can't wait to go and visit her in March. *Note to Hazza*(you better be on Skype all the time, so I wont feel all alone in Cornwall/Heidelberg and as you know that I have rediculous sleeping patterns I practically am on Japan time anyway!!) *end soppiness!*

I've almost written an entire essay here, so I'll stop, as it seems that I've turned into Masato!

The SuG party was so much fun and definately worth all the planning! I'd upload more pictures, but I don't actally have them on my computer at the moment, but 'the crew' were there and have seen them/been a part of them so it's not really needed.

Bye!

Miyavi was AMAZING!!!!! The Cologne gig was sooooooooo good! and we had a great view thanks to short, probably very young German fans! We ended up queing for about 7 hours, where me and Sazza ended up with sunburn but it was worth it. Miyavi was ueber sexy on stage and as Sazza described it "OMGHEPUTHISHANDDOWNHISPANTS!" that had to be a highlight of the evening, along with the discovery of the ueber kawaii DJ Teddy Loid!!! He was the surprise of the evening, and he was soooooooooo cute and now officially my favourite DJ!!! (not that I had one before, as I don't pay much attention to DJ's/listen to music where a DJ is required). Miyavi's German was soooooo good and kudos to him for actually trying it out and remembering it!

The London gig wasn't as good in my opinion, probably because I'd already seen the show and therefore didn't need to by right at the front again, so me and Sazza went to watch it from the steps at the back. To use Sazza's quote again, "OMGHEPUTHISHANDDOWNHISPANTS!" 3 TIMES!!!!! and also when me and Sazza were still at the front, Miyavi spat water on us!!!!! Although it doesn't sound the best thing to have done to you, it's still pretty good at the time and comes a close second to when Ruki 'came' over me and Hazza! Teddy was there again (of course) and so a bit of Teddy staring had to be done! We also could see the Kabuki Boiz waiting to go onstage, which meant me screaming at Sazza, OMG there's TEDDY!!!!! to which she didn't seem so thrilled!

All in all Miyavi week 2008 was very enjoyable and tiring and he is absolutely amazing live. His English also rocks and so does TEDDY!!!!!!!!!!!

I haven't updated in a while, but not a lot has been happening, so there hasn't been much to tell. In the past week I have been to Tai Wu A LOT (thanks to Hazza and her new crush), I have found out that I passed year 2 (wohoo!!! ), have been Miyavi shopping and have been to the cinema.

Germany in 3 days!!! then we can go to Phantasialand and to see Miyavi!!!!!!

The preview of Rainbows is up too and the song is SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO good!! It really grows on you the more you listen to it. I'm interested to hear the b side 'strawberry fuzz' it sounds gay interesting.....

I have been listening to more Dir en Grey at the moment and can now name every member and what instrument they play!(never thought I would be able to say that!) Me and Hazza have decided to claim Die, which resulted in a very angry Sazza, but as we live in a democracy majority rules and Die no longer 'belongs' to Sazza even though she has touched him!

I don't know when I'll update again, as I will be in Germany from Wednesday and when we get back we have another Miyavi pilgramage to London.

Bye!

Sazza sent me a link to a quiz today to find out which J Rocker I'm most like. I was so relieved when it didn't come up with Gackt or Yoshiki! Unlike Sazza (who turns out to be Mana) I am Hyde, which I'm ok with!

The Miyavi countdown is now on 22 days until Cologne!!!
