SUBLIMINAL

Karyu is a big, big D'ERLANGER and BOOWY fanboy. CIPHER I think is actually his favourite guitarist. He was never a huge X JAPAN fan. Most VK guitarists tend to be hide fanboys, he's one of the few I've seen who isn't. As I understand it, he respects hide and likes the band's music well enough just not as much as everyone else seems to. He used to have a bit of a thing for SUGIZO, too, who I believe either taught him how to play the violin or inspired him to teach himself, but he doesn't mention him or LUNA SEA anymore.
Tsukasa is stupidly in love with Yoshiki, though. Both Hizumi and Karyu are Cocco fanboys. A friend of mine went on a FC trip and Hizumi bought some super limited edition of one of her albums and clutched it to his chest like it was rare treasure. Don't know about Zero, although he likes Lady Gaga. All of them are gay for Marilyn Manson and flailed about getting flowers from him for their anniversary.
Uhhh, 90% of indies bands are Dir en grey fanboys. Or Gazette. Except BERLIN, who were so obsessed with D'espairsRay they performed covers of their songs live.
Uruha and Sakito = also SUGIZO fanboys.

I am a woman.

Allllll the single ladies (and men), put yo' hands up.
I've been in a fair few relationships and I've had my share of regrettable one night stands.
In my opinion, relationships are not all they're cracked up to be and for several years now I haven't been interested in them. My last two were the final straw, really. My ex was controlling, patronising and... to be frank, she was everything I do not find attractive in a person. She would flip her shit if we didn't speak every hour of every day, would accuse me of thinking and feeling things I wasn't, of not being devoted enough and would go on and on about how she couldn't love someone who didn't love her explicitly. If I so much as expressed affection for a friend, she would be furious and I ended up resenting her. Eventually, she had the gaul to cheat on me when she was drunk and I told her I didn't have the physical or mental energy to put up with her.
This was a catalyst, combined with past abusive and destructive relationships, my friends attitude toward promiscuity and fidelity, my parents divorce and other personal matters. It's safe to say I'm turned off relationships for life.
That said, I find it disconcerting how much young girls rely on relationships. All I hear them talk about is boys, as if they're the be all and end all. The amount of girls wanting to have boyfriends, husbands, babies so young is appalling to me. One of my sister's friends is fifteen and pregnant, she wants to be a full-time mother and have as many kids as possible. It's all everyone, especially girls, seem to care about.
To be honest I have never been so content as I am focused on myself and my happiness. I work, I study, I socialise with friends and I don't need a significant other to validate me. I've been called pathetic for it a couple of times and my grandmother believes I should be married and settled down by now (at twenty-two!) but I have a hard enough time dealing with my own idiocy and over sensitivity, I don't want anyone else's baggage. I don't want to get married and I don't want to have children (later in life I might adopt). I want to live, travel and be happy.

Steven Spielberg says, "I will accept video games as a story-telling medium when someone can honestly say, 'I cried at level 17.'" And it got me thinking about how many times I might have cried during a video game and the scenes that triggered it, so! Has a video game ever moved you emotionally? A particular character, story arc or scene? Let's dispute Spielberg! Feel free to provide clips.
SPOILERS PAST THIS POINT!
01. Shadow of the Colossus - Agro
 
 
02. Lost Odyssey - Kaim and Lirum
 
There are more, but I figured I'd give you guys the opportunity to share yours first.

flaccid shit

tell the dumb bitch it doesn't matter, it sees everything in fucking infrared
it sees his boners when he gets halo achievements
it sells the accumulated boner data to marketologists

I've been replaying the Mass Effect series for the millionth time, as well as enjoying the multiplayer in my downtime. 
 
About to tackle the Assassin's Creed series when I'm done. 

gackt having a solo career
I can hate kisaki and his ways, but proportionally, the biological hazard of gakuto kamui is incomparable
not to mention he spilled some of his talent on yohio and they've probably conceived a satan together
 
and non-visual rock scene is not that obnoxious as far as I can tell

This is quite pointless. Just saying.

And you shouldn't just run around and add people without their consensus. Yeah it's the internet and nothing is safe, but what if said person intentionally does not want to be included in your list?

Arith was also not posting here to be added to the list - so I don't know why you're getting upset over the rules; she clearly understands them. This is an open forum, where it's users are allowed to freely post their opinions on whatever is at hand. She was making a point. This "census" will be vastly incomplete and inaccurate.

If you're curious to how many users we have in each country/whatever, could have simply asked.



There's also already a feature in the forum that would display which country you're in automatically in each of your posts - but it's not enabled as some people like a bit of privacy.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO1curr

B'z.
