Since there's free wireless here at the hotel, I might as well give you guys the photo dump. I will have some videos later on as well as just my general reaction/report as well. I'm unfortunately really hungry and posting this up took forever. I also have to cut the videos up a bit before I can post them (some are huge and others, well, I just kinda dropped the camera to dance/clap along). We were in the second row just in front of Hyde. If you'd like to see slightly larger version of the pictures, just click 'em.

I know I'm ridiculously behind on everybody's updates, but I promise I'll get to them tomorrow. I'm feeling really tired. The concert is fast-approaching, oh my God! Sorry to any of my texting buddies and anybody else I spoke to in the past three days. I have been having really shitty days at work and while that's not an excuse to be short, it's just stressing me out. They are experimenting with having an 11:00PM bagger and cashier. Sunday, I was stuck on U-Scan, as you know already, for 5 hours and then Monday and tonight? Ugh.

Monday night, Kristina went out to Samantha's car to get some DVDs. In her place, I watched U-Scan for the five minutes she was outside and couldn't bag for Celia. Of course, Celia got all uppity about this, snapped at me and was generally ill-tempered for the remaining ten minutes I was on the clock and decided to actually call Roger in the morning about it saying that Kristina was gone for twenty minutes and I had "no one in U-Scan" (even though I did). Samantha vouched for Kristina and the whole thing blew over with Roger, but still. Listening to Celia bitch and complain about this, that, and the other thing for the 4.5 hours she was there, plus the piss-poor attitude towards the end didn't help me much. And then today I had lot four times (half hour a pop), plus last lot (an hour). Last lot for those not in the know is where you have to clear the lot, empty the lobby, and put all the carts off to the side. This usually takes you longer than an hour, a little closer to an hour and ten. But they were snapping at me that I needed to be inside bagging right then and there when I was still finishing emptying the lobby. jfdskfhsj. I can only be in one place at a time.

I think a combination of this and just working pretty much constantly since school let out, I'm a little burned out with work and need some away-time. I'm sure tomorrow, I'll be feeling much, much better mood-wise and hopefully will stop being such a twat. I also really hate how I haven't had much motivation/energy/time to work-out. So, hopefully in the morning, I'll be able to hop back onto that train and stuff. I'm sure that'll improve my mood like crazy. Aside from that, I'll probably have to go Kroger to pick up a prescription for Dad. He's been hit with the same bug as domestic_hooker is currently battling, it seems like. (Both of you get better soon. ♥) He's not sure if he'll feel up to getting it himself or not, but it doesn't make a difference to me. I need to go to Wally World and buy a few things plus I promised Kristina I'd bring her a Fluffernutter tomorrow.

Mm...Fluffernutter...

Anyways, that's it from me. I think it's bedtime for me and hopefully a better day tomorrow. I'll definitely catch up soon.

First of all, the new footage that's the making of the Evanescent PV. (Hint: Watch in HQ.)

»DOWNLOAD HERE«
And then because I'm sure you've already forgotten what the PV was like from the last time I posted it, here it is again. (Hint: Watch in HQ.)


If you would like a HQ version of the PV, you can download that here. I didn't actually rip this version of it though (no idea who did; I just found it floating around the nets). My version was about 20MB smaller than this one I found, so you guys get the really good version.

And if you want my .VOB/DVD quality rip of the making of combined with the PV after that (I couldn't just cut them into two and preserve them as .VOB for some ghei-ass reason; if you can split them up yourself then don't feel inhibited from doing so), you can snag that over at Megaupload.

You can download the single over at this post.

Now, brb. I'm gushing.

Less than two months away.

ARE YOU KIDDING ME? OF COURSE I'M AFRAID. SHIT SON, EVEN MY ICON IS AFRAID. THIS IS THE BABY JESUS TAKING HIS SWEET, SWEET REVENGE ON THE LOT OF YOU SINNERS. MOSES HAD THE PLAGUE. OBAMA HAS THE BACON LUNG. THE END IS NIGH.

FOR THAT VERY REASON, I HAVE BUILT A BUNKER IN MY BACKYARD AND SUPPLIED MYSELF WITH ENOUGH FOOD AND WATER TO GET BY FOR SIX MONTHS. THE REASON I HAVE NOT BEEN UPDATING THIS ONLINE BLOG IS BECAUSE OF THIS IMPORTANT CONSTRUCTION. I HAVE ONLY SINCE THEN DARED TO RETURN TO THE SURFACE TO RETRIEVE MY LAPTOP ALTHOUGH IT WILL SOON BE RUNNING OUT OF POWER. SO I GUESS THESE WILL BE MY LAST WORDS TO YOU GUYS, MY FLIST (BECAUSE YOU GUYS ARE A BUNCH OF FAGGOT DEVIL-WORSHIPPING DOUCHEBAGS AND WILL SURELY CATCH THIS HORRIFIC DISEASE DESPITE THE FACT THE COMMON FLU KILLS HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE EACH YEAR AND THIS HAS ONLY HAVE BEEN CONFIRMED TO HAVE KILLED 20 PEOPLE OUT OF A POPULATION OF MILLIONS IN MEXICO AND YOU PROBABLY HAVE BETTER CHANCES OF DYING FROM CANCER): I WILL MISS YOU.

In all seriousness though, no. It's just a sensationalized fad disease that needs to gtfo like the other diseases before it. Common sense and logic people: look them up for fuck's sake.

My dog's bark.

I have been basically scouring the internet for a decent (subbed) copy of Matthew's Best Hit TV when Hyde and Ken were guests. I finally found a copy and put them up on YouTube (a dummy account, naturally; I was already slapped on the wrist twice for copyright infringement, so I'd rather not have all my videos taken down). It's in six parts, so I made the videos tiny (don't worry, you can still read the subs) to conserve on space. And below them, you'll find a MegaUpload link to download the episode for yourself. So, act now!

DOOR - Kirito

DOOR
Words: キリト (Kirito)
Music: キリト (Kirito)

the petals of flowers that softly blossomed on a moonlit night
fill the air and will scatter as a beautiful past does.
there's no going back to how it was then,
but, that's what makes it beautiful
these nights spent trembling with regret,
are only for now.

we held each other in the cold wind
the wounds we'd tried to forget opened
can't shed anymore tears
have to move on
even as I'm frozen to the spot,
I've got to leave here.

the night is coming to an end, even though I despise the morning
I wonder if there's anything left these hands can do?
the night is coming to an end, the window is too bright
I'll open the door, I don't need anywhere to go home to

I can't shed anymore tears
I mustn't stop
even as I'm taken by fear,
I've got to leave here.

The night is coming to an end, even though I despise the morning
I wonder if my hands are capable making change?
The night is coming to an end, the window is too bright
I'll open the door, I don't need anywhere to go home to.

the petals of flowers that softly blossomed on a moonlit night
fill the air and will scatter as a beautiful past does.
the petals of flowers that softly blossomed on a moonlit night
fill the air and vanish to the future behind me.

Even though the song might seem like a wangsty sort've song (especially with a promo video like this), but the song is about always carrying forth and trying not to live in the past. I think even though I haven't experienced as many hardships as some out there, I believe that the future is and always will be a scary place. But I don't think hiding from it in the "night" will do any good. I try to live my life in that manner where regardless of how afraid I am, I always keep walking.

I liked most of these. Then I posted them. Now I don't like them anymore. Say what?

Check them out anyways.

OVER HERE; JOIN US?

Oh, I would most definitely tell my friend about it. There's honestly no sense whatsoever in keeping something like that to myself when I know that's going to hurt my friend in the long-run. S/He might not believe me and that's understandable. You wouldn't want to think that of the person you love. But I care about my friends way too much to let something like that carry on without their knowledge.

Tell the Supreme Court to invalidate Prop 8, reject Ken Starr's case, and let loving, committed couples marry. DEADLINE: Valentine's Day
We, the undersigned, share President Barack Obama's view that "for too long, issues of LGBT rights have been exploited by those seeking to divide us. It's time to move beyond polarization and live up to our founding promise of equality by treating all our citizens with dignity and respect."

Yet, on December 19, 2008, Ken Starr and the Prop 8 Legal Defense Fund filed legal briefs defending the constitutionality of Prop 8 and seeking to nullify the marriages of 18,000 devoted same-sex couples solemnized before Prop 8 passed. READ MORE AND SIGN

Today is Hyde’s fortieth birthday in Japan. I’m not making a graphic and I’m not using obnoxious sparkly text to wish him a happy birthday. I think the big four-oh merits more than that. I’m writing a message about what he means to me, all the little words that I wish I could say to him. I might be mocked and I might be ridiculed, but I don’t care. These are my feelings and if they’re deemed crazy, so be it. I can’t change the way I think and feel so easily, especially not about him. He’s too much of an amazing person for me to want to change how I feel.
( To Spare the FList )

An easy one for me. I'd never want to go near the high school in high school musical because well, I don't want to sing and dance randomly. Nor would I want to go within any amount of distance to the high school in Twatlight. Unless the gay-as-hell, cute Asian boy from the movie will be there. In which case, I volunteer to be his fag hag. I don't mind my old high school so much. It's not like I'd never go near it again, but I wouldn't want to go through high school again unless it was senior year. The rest of high school sucked.

But dude, can anyone say Sunnydale High (BTVS)? Sure, you might potentially die nearly every day, but didn't you face life and death every day in high school? It was just a little more paranormal in this high school.

Today felt like a bit of a waste for some reason unbeknownst to me or anyone. Firefox, that is a word. It's just old. Like that fugly word "mayhap." Yes, Emily (pyrrhic_battles Emily, not the other two), I had to take it there. What are you gonna do about it? I woke up and posted a few of the drabble requests I had back in April, but I haven't managed to motivate myself to do much more than that.

I was going to watch an episode of Dexter before work, but was distracted by Hulu and their season two of Buffy. Then work I just had lot once and was bagging the rest of the time. But I will say that the hour of pushing carts I did have felt really good for some odd reason. I guess it was just because I pushed so many of them in that I pretty much made the lobby overflow. It was a good day as far as work is concerned, in all honesty.

Work drama is semi-annoying me lately though. James keeps looking over at me with sad, hurt puppy dog eyes because I keep giving him the ultimate cold shoulder (like this thing was imported from one of the poles, I'm sure of it). He also apparently has asked Kristina twice now if I had said anything about being mad at him. Let's see, you lead me on and then picked a Twilight fantard as your girlfriend over me. I can't imagine what I'd be mad about, James! You tell me! I told Kristina tonight though that if he keeps asking her about it to tell him that if he wants to know if I'm mad and why or what I'm thinking to just grow a pair of balls and talk to me. Not that he will.

The other work drama is that Arnis is spreading a nasty rumor about Shawn. I'm not pleased at all with this. Arnis made up this lie that Shawn was offering Arnus money to let him suck Arnis' dick and he has his twit friend Ray helping to spread the rumor around. Of course, Ray is dumb and doesn't seem to realize that the little "Mack daddy" over there is full of shit. He's always making things up about having girlfriends and all these make-out sessions and shit like that. It's just ridiculous and not necessary. Kristina told Shawn it was sexual harassment and I told him tonight that if it were me, I'd file a formal complaint. I really hope he does because he has proof that it wasn't the case and that Arnis was actually trying to get Shawn to suck his dick.

I am so sick and fucking tired of the younger guys at work giving Shawn a hard fucking time because he's gay (although he claims to be bi, the kid is like JACK from Will & Grace). Tolerance? What's that? Kentucky knows not of it.

Ahaha, really? It's more like, let's hear a story when the customer was actually right. Most people don't realize it, but customers who throw tantrums are usually in the wrong and those working in customer service or any sort of contact with the public just usually bend over and let them have it their way because it's easier than continuing to put up with the punishment.

But, I suppose if I have to give one specific, I'll retell the story of the woman who threw frozen shrimp at my head because that was the day I decided I needed to work somewhere else. A woman came up and was first aggravated because she had to place her beer at the end of her order because I was a minor and at that store, they didn't let the minors even move the beer. Then she asked if I could give her a raincheck on a deal, mind you it was the very last day of the sale. I told her that she was going to have to go through customer service in order to get that because we're not authorized as cashiers to give them out. She looks at the lengthy line and scoffs, "Great."

Internally, of course, I'm chiding her for waiting until the last minute to try and get the deal when it's a buy one, get two free deal. As I am quickly scanning through her groceries, she looks over at the screen and says, "Wait a minute. That shrimp. Isn't that supposed to be buy one, get two free?" I nodded and took the last shrimp I had scanned.

"Ma'am, this is a size too small. The one that's on sale is the thirty-six to the forty count." Her brows furrowed and she pursed her lips before reaching into the bag for the other two bags of shrimp and chucking them at me. Although they narrowly missed me and landed on my scanner.

"You know what, then I don't want them. On second thought, I don't want any of this at all. This happens every fucking time I come in here." And the crazy woman stormed out.

I was quite frazzled, having never been treated like this by any customer (or decent human being for that matter) before. But, my supervisor was "too busy" to deal with it and told me to just scan everything off to void the order and take it all back up to customer service, placing perishables on the desk for them to get to when they have a chance. I was angry, I was upset, etc. but the employees don't matter. The woman was justified in her tantrum in their eyes.
