GOT7's "Got It?" on iTunes.
 
"OMG this metal-obsessed girl listens to K-pop??!!"
 
Yeah, she does

Can I hug you? I mean, this sounds way too much like myself.
 
Everyone around me seems to find it easy to find people they're interested in very fast. Like, they walk into a bar and within 3 minutes they'll have scanned the whole area and located at least 2 potential partners. Somehow my attraction to others isn't based on looks - sure, I can say "this guy's hot" when I see someone attractive, but it doesn't make me immediately interested in him. I need to get to know the guy, judge his intellect, look for common interests, make sure our personalities won't clash. 
 
Besides, I'm not the most outgoing person out there. I'm very sociable and people generally like me, but I don't enjoy going out very often as I like spending time by myself. I don't actively look for a relationship and maybe for this reason have been told a few times that I'm too "hard to get" and "scare guys away".

I'm a PC gamer. I actually have DA:O on PS3 as well, but damn, the controls for the combat are much better for PC, I think. I love the game so much I've replayed it a few times, but somehow I can never force myself to make the "evil" decisions (let Redcliffe fall, defile the Ashes etc.)  
I actually reaaaaally enjoyed DA2. I mean, I know its areas are repetitive and you're pretty much confined to one city plus several surrounding areas, but I loved the story and companions. It was also very nice to have an actual family, even though its members might end up dead :/ I think the problem was that the game was rushed. I hope they take their time with Inquisition to make it perfect. But the gameplay previews and stuff look absolutely terrific and I'm very very excited about the return of Morrigan and Varric, and the fact that you can play as a Qunari 8D The combat looks way more strategic, just like it was in DA:O, but with the dynamic and fluency of DA2, so I really can't wait for the game to be released

ex-NEGA Vo.儿-JIN- new band "THE BLACK SWAN" has opened their OHP at 2014/01/15, although other member details have not yet been announced

I had a really long comment all typed up with examples and stuff, but I figured you guys wouldn't really care anyway, so I'm just gonna say - to each their own.
 
You may dig the screams/growls that other people hate, and vice-versa, it's as simple as that.

Previews of all album tracks except for two can now be listened to on their OHP

Wow, Champ, I am SO following you. For the sole reason that you follow woodendreams (shameless advertising - you should follow inatt, he's a wonderful photographer and my friend so he's cool ok)
 
My tumblr has suprisingly little VK in it, it's mostly landscape/nature photos and ocassional pagan and folk stuff. And fantasy books. And Star Wars.

If fans influenced what I liked and didn't like, I wouldn't like anything!!
I really don't get caught up in fan communities, I like what I like and that's that. If you're seriously that wrapped up in fan communities that fans make you dislike the thing you like, then step away from the computer and get some fresh air. Honestly I tend to dislike most fans that like the things I like because a lot of them are just so unrealistic. There's one thing about being passionate and loving what you love but when it reaches a point of obsession it's time to step away.
 
I am gonna use this as an opportunity to write my opinion on fan communities but above is basically my overall thoughts on this subject.
 
Visual Kei
The fans are image centric twats that are lieing through their teeth if they say they're only into VK because of the music. It's not a big deal if you just want to fuck the pretty boys in booty shorts or you only like the fashion, that's totally fine. Yet the fans that are pretending they aren't and try to act holier than thou are the grosses kinda people imaginable (WORSE THAN HITLER). My favourite subset of VK is kotekei, I certainly don't want to bone any of the dudes but I definitely appreciate and like that style of dressing. Then the VK fans that become anti-anime are also pretty cringe worthy awful people. They're probably the fans that got into VK because they liked Ready Steady Go from Fullmetal Alchemist and now need to pretend that they're not disgusting weeaboos. This can apply to Kpop fans that start hating Japanese music, probably the same anti-anime retards that just evolved into a Kpop tard.
 
Kotekei fans (VKKK)
This is pretty much my go to favourite subset of VK but shit son, these crazy people view that whole era as some sort of serious underground gothic movement. Yet conveniently overlook the many not so heavy VK bands of that time like Fanatic Crisis or Sophia that were dominating Shoxx covers. I also like how many of them try to present themselves as experts of this era but probably didn't get into Japanese music or VK until they heard Ready Steady Go from FMA.
 
Anime fans
Not so much in relation to music but eh, it's still Japan. It's just the greasy fans that will venomously defend anime as an art form but anything else produced by a Western artist is garbage. 
 
Metal fans
They're mostly all a bunch of over compensating nerds that now think they're tough and a badass because they listen to heavy brutal angry music. Only a nerd would sit around on the Internet debating whether a band is blackened folk core or symphonic viking metal. Black metal fans are pretty laughable and can be easily compared to VKKK fans. OMG THIS BAND IS SO GOOD AND UNDERGROUND WITH THEIR ONE AWFUL DEMO TAPE!! There's a reason why this band is "underground" and only has one demo tape and it's because it fucking sucks balls.
 
Comic fans
I haven't had that many bad experiences with comic fans. I suppose since I create comics my interaction with the community is more with creators than with fans. Creators are definitely fans of comics but I think they appreciate it from a creator perspective, so you don't see as much retardness among these group of individuals. There's definitely retards but I also don't like mainstream comics like Marvel or DC, so my interaction with those communities are pretty non-existent. I know indie comics have a lot of hipster elitism that will make you want to kill yourself. Yet so far my interaction with those types have been limited. I wonder what my opinion of the comic community will be a year from now if I continue to work conventions and make books? HHRRM HHHHHRRRMMM? Also I don't read Homestuck so maybe that's why my opinion is relatively positive???

^ the idea is pretty awesome actually
 
Proud single over here too. I haven't find a single person yet i was interested into (neither sexually nor emotionally or mentally). And I like to be alone and having the whole day for myself. I guess that's also why I don't have many friends because too many people interferring in my daily plans would make me crazy. I also rather stay at home doing stuff than go to parties- except it's with one of my few but really good friends. But I'd hate to do things with a person who clinches me like a dog and where saying "I don't want to see you for the next 8 days" isn't so easy...
 
Or maybe I am just too egoistic, I don't know.
