twitfaced and displaced
Jul. 24th, 2011 11:48 pmI really need to stop setting up new accounts everywhere (read: account-whoring). XDD
Twitter.
Yes, I said it. Purely for practical reasons, though.
Making an account > bajillion bookmarks of twitters I want to check.
See? Practical.
>_>
And for some reason... "colberry" was already taken. I need to find this twin of mine :P
Anyways. If you'd like to follow, be my guest. Maybe I'll post (...tweet?) some chapter previews or something XDD

REMEMBER THE URGE vs. TOXIC
*insert rabid fangirling here*
Anyways. I know I'll purchase the album - it's my first "album-release" so it's a given that I'llcherish it buy it. But I don't know if I'll get the single. Purely for monetary reasons. I have enough, but I've never been good at parting with my moolah D:
So, excuse me whilst I make a pro-con list ~
PRO-BUY:
ANTI-BUY
I'm leaning more towards not buying it... But I'll wait and see what the external bonuses will be, etc -- same goes for what album-edition I'll buy :D
YAY GAZETTO! Anyone else planning on buying the single / album?

So, excuse me whilst I make a pro-con list ~
PRO-BUY:
- I have sufficient funds
- The title-song itself sounds pretty cool
- I'm IN LOVE with their new casual-street-clothes look
- And since I love the look, I'm sure to love any bonuses that come with the single
- Aoi-shi's hair is sex
ANTI-BUY
- It's very close to the album-release -- I don't know if I like spending money all in one go like that D:
- I didn't have that instant MUST-BUY feeling like I did with VORTEX when I listened to the preview
- Let's be honest - the songs/PV will leak within 24 hours of the release anyways
- I'm not a big fan of the CD art XD

Jun. 24th, 2011 12:26 pmTumblr is way too addicting. But it's fun/awesome in its own way :D
It's funny how I decided to officially have one (i.e.: a personal account) right when it seems like everyone here is concerned about lj being abandoned for tumblr.. I don't know - I just find it to be a unique form of expression and I've always felt that as long as my favorite people/journals can be found again through another site, then it's all good.
I'd never ditch lj though - I've worked too hard on that fanfic archive to abandon it XDD
But seriously guys! If you have a tumblr, let me know and we can follow one anotherand cause chaos together :DD

So. I almost can't handle the epicness of what I just heard. #VORTEX.
I know this single had like, the most impending flailing-fest with countdowns, leaked radio edits, etc, but I swear it was all deserved. I just listened to my copy and just... holy shit. Maybe it's because I've always loved a "harder" GazettE (songs like LEECH, Filth..), but it was ecstasy for ears. Of course there are going to be some reviews that have negative comments, but in my opinion - if you're going to buy ANY single, buy this one. It's just amazing and hard and different.
The gazemen definitely had fun with distortion effects including echoes, "clapping" and (oh the horror *sarcasm*) autotune. Each song wasn't predictable at all. I think I've said before, with songs like Hesitating Means Death, that I'm always disappointed when I can guess what kind of riff is coming up or a slow-down, etc. All three songs of this single, though, completely blind-sided me. Loved it.
Now for some highlights :DD
( the awesomeness )
So, guys. Please~ tell me your thoughts about this single! And, if you haven't listened to it, PLEASE DO. I'm sure someone posted mp3s up on Tumblr (via namelessliberty). Happy VORTEX day, everyone! :DD
EDIT: And it came with stickers :3

Welp. I've been home from university for exactly one week and I'm officially bored out of my skull, haha. It'll get better once all my friends come back and work starts up (yay money!). It doesn't help that the rain outside has been creating a second Great Flood for three days now... Anyhoo, this downtime allowed me to hone my video-making skillz:
Blame Aoi and his obvious pining for Uruha. Throw the guy a bone, Uruha... seriously.
In other "news", I'm in the middle of writing two oneshots (both a tad cracktastic), so one of them will probably be up next week or so. Unless I die of anticipation for my copy of VORTEX - then it might take a little longer :P

Apr. 26th, 2011 03:54 pmI realized yesterday that I'm pretty impulsive, haha.
I was re-watching some bits of Tokyo Dome for entertainment's sake (and procrastination's sake) when I stumbled upon a lovely scene of our favorite lead guitarist doing some quite delectable chest-pops.
Pause. Rewind. Play again. Repeat.
Now, I'm used to seeing every GIF in creation on Tumblr depicting scenes from Tokyo Dome and the documentary, but there were absolutely no signs of this 2-second moment of loveliness on any blogs I follow at all. So. I did what any sane fangirl would do.
Found a full-version portable download of Photoshop CS4, rummaged around for a lengthy GIF tutorial and made it myself :D
Now... I have a full-feature photoshop just sitting on my desktop without any use to me whatsoever (besides maybe making more GIFs)...
This whole scenario is the epitome of college procrastination XD (finals are next week oh god)
Nonetheless, I'm pretty proud of the finished product (which was released into the wild on Tumblr :P):
( and a writing-style ramble XD )
*flees to study*
