This is something I've been wanting people's opinions on for some time now. Personally, I don't think it necessarily is (my take is that it's thicker than clean water), but I've had people tell me that "there's no way you could ever really stop caring for your family". What do you guys think?

Boy, why.

Yeah, I got 'monotheism'. Which is actually more or less accurate for me depending on how you look at it. Wouldn't read TOO much into the results tho.

These are vastly different results than what i would have scored even a year ago...

Hey, guys. Tried this for fun recently, and thought it might also be fun to share with everyone here! So if you've got about 10 mins to spare, click the link below and post your results!

Actually this is a really accurate way to explain them.

OOR are one of those bands that could sing me the phonebook and I'll still enjoy it. Is it their deepest most exciting work? Nah. Still something that will fit my work playlist nicely tho.

X-ray vision so I can be the most sly pervert on the planet.
 
 
How much wood could a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood?

I think Lack-co will go on as long as Tenten has to keep his "bandomen" status for his mitsu-girlfriend to sponsor him. It's his hobby band now I feel, only Milk and San have to "BL" whore themselves out for the band....
 
It's more likely the fans giving up on them since they deliver too little... music whise

I feel like Mamireta will be short lived as well. One hit underwear sniffing, tabemasu-ing, break-dancing wonder.
In before LACK-CO disbands. 
I also feel like XaaXaa will disband or take an indefinite hiatus soon. I hear they haven't been the greatest since their previous drummer left and the new one is always messing up songs. 
Surprised Kiryu is still going. 
DIMLIM Probably, though I wish and hope they don't because I like them. 
 
I don't think LM.C would exactly disband, maybe take an actually break and return.

DISCOGRAPHY

I have suffered depression pretty much my whole adult life, so I completely understand that it can be overwhelming in itself to even feel depression... especially when you first realize you have it because you kind of feel at a loss on where to start to make yourself feel better. On top of that, you close yourself off and don't really have the motivation for things anymore which sort of drive you downward even more. 
For some people depression can be a temporary thing caused by stress, lack of mental stimulation, lack of direction, and just generally feeling lost.
 
For me I felt that I had too many options on what I wanted to do with my life and I chose to scrape by doing what I felt was correct based on other peoples thoughts. Don't do that. You really have to find it in yourself to live your life the way you want. All the people, including parents, will tell you it's not a good idea or it's not possible, but you have to understand that everyones outcome in life is different regardless if you follow the same path that worked for them. I'm not sure how big of a role your parents play in your educational choices... but in the end no matter what, you're the only one who truly has to live with them. 
 
People will try to talk you out of it or bring you down until you've put in the work and you're actually successful and happy in their book, then suddenly they'll jump on the hype wagon in bragging about you and supporting you morally. 
 
I agree, if there is counseling available to you, do not let that slide by. There is nothing wrong with feeling lost. What you're feeling is your minds way to let you know something has gotta change. Plus seeking counseling is getting the perspective of an unbiased person. They take things at face value, or they just listen and help you decide for yourself what you need to do. Catch it early while you can before you dig yourself too deep. It gets a lot harder to motivate yourself to seek help once you become... "used" to the way things have become. 
 
You asked how other people may have handled depression. I personally bottled everything up, shut my friends out, lost my friends, gave up on a lot of dreams, and set myself back from where I wanted to be so far that I pretty much had to reevaluate my life and come up with a new game plan. Even now some days are still hard and it's been a long time coming. Don't take the long route out of this. Talk to someone. Surround yourself with positive people who genuinely want to better themselves thus motivating you and holding you accountable to better yourself too. While relating to someone else who has depression can be a short term relief... in the long run, unless you are actively trying to change for the better, can turn really toxic really fast and actually prevent either of you from moving past things if you're the only company each other has. 
 
If you want to do music, start off by going to local shows and surround yourself with people and things that make you remember why you're so passionate about it. Gradually you'll start associating with people who feel the same way or are already established in the scene. 
 
I think the first step would be to talk to someone though to help redirect yourself. You may have some big decisions ahead about new directions etc and while it's hard in the moment it will make you that much stronger in the long run and you will be so much happier later on. 
 
Sorry this was so long and I hope it helped. If you ever just need to vent to anyone... I'm all ears to listen.

mood

For the most I like Tenten, Ivy and Milk(Satoshi), they didn't seem to fit well in the same band/music style such as LACK CO is doing. with hope, we can get a Moran comeback.
