NPS NGS by Malice Mizer

HAHA. Yes, I'm listening to a song that was released more than a decade ago. Not sure why, but I really like the combination of Mana's composition and Gackt's voice. It gives a consistently high level of 'ooh'ness. Not that Klaha's voice isn't great, but there are some songs which are just... Not as interesting. Strangely, after Malice disbanded, I never really liked any of Mana's other compositions. I guess Malice was his musical creative peak to me? The new style of Mois is not Tofu-able.

My new favourite band is D=Out, as anyone who reads my Tumblr will know. They always seem to be having fun and the lack of English words in their songs make the band very appealing. They have this rather jazzy feel (jazz and rock, WOW) that makes for easy listening. Kouki's voice may be too nasal for many at first listening, but it grows on you. He has this hyena voice, and his laugh is kinda creepy (sounds FAMILIAR no?). But when he sings... I'd be lying if I said that there are no traces of his hyena voice, but its good. Very different from most other vocalists. Most singers tend to have a smooth voice, no matter the pitch. Kouki, however has a slightly husky nasal voice. Weird combination? Yeah, its not very obvious, but its there. Not very husky, but not smooth, especially when he encounters choppy sounds (OMG I forgot the name of the sound! Whitby will have MY HEAD!). In all? Listen to D=Out! (shameless plug!)

I feel like creating a list. Something along the lines of "Top 10 Things That I Cannot Do Without". Or something like "Top 10 Songs That I Listen to When I'm Gyming". Or maybe something like "Top 10 Ways to TOTALLY Piss Me Off". I'm not sure why, but I'm in the mood for lists. I think with humour and some simple organisation with formatting, lists can make fun reading. Better than typing lengthy chunks of prose with no markers as to the next transition that I will undertake. At least with a list, if I say that there are 10 items, you'd read 10 paragraphs of text in order to get to the end of that list. No need to structure my post in such a way that I can retain your attention. I mean, each post takes, on average, 30 odd minutes to type. So if you get bored, I'd feel feel very sad. And angry. And disappointed that I can't get your attention. Call me high maintenance and whatnot, but the truth is, I DO think and try to structure my post OKAYSSS~ I've received a lot of feedback that I'm actually this long-winded middle aged woman masquerading as a 'happening' young lass. My reaction, was somewhere between shock, horror and amusement. I'm not sure how the scale for this would work, but yeah, just to let you know, I'm 20. Yeah. Pretend you did not see that number. I'm young (compared to most other human beings) and I am unsure about how cool I am. I don't think I'm cool, more like... Strange. If someone was to say I was 'cool', I think I would pretend to be happy and be morbidly affronted. My reaction would probably be along "WTHELL? I'M COOL? Since when! Are you sure you're talking about me and not my non-existent twin? I'm COOL? In which parallel universe or alternate dimension did you come from? HOMG! Do you need a DOCTOR?!" Kinda pathetic eh? Someone says that you're cool, its suppose to be a compliment, but you react as if you've just been told you've got cancer. Oh well.

I think I might be overworking my body. Chair potato that I am have been training 3 times a week for the past few weeks. Like the good cheerleader that I'm supposed to be. YEAH. Laugh, go ahead and laugh. The fact of the matter is that this afternoon, I had a 3 hour nap. I'm only calling it a nap because I don't have a term for bouts of sleeping that is neither long nor short. It was pretty deep sleep (had a really weird and psychedelic dream that I cannot describe) and I think I might have slept all the way to tomorrow if my mum had not dragged me out of bed. I guess tired doesn't really cover it anymore. Both physical and mental stress. Muscle aches and mental gymnastics trying to figure out a way to divide my time between cosplay and school. It seems simple, but there are soooo many sub-divisions that I cannot be bothered to break it out here. Conclusion, I'm tired.
