Baby you'll be famous chase you down until you love me,
Papa-paparazzi
I'll be your girl, backstage at your show,
Velvet ropes and guitars, yeah 'cause you're my rockstar,
In between the sheets sets, eyeliner and cigarettes,
Shadow is burnt, yellow dance and we turn,
My lashes are dry, purple teardrops I cry,
It don't have a price, loving you is cherry pie
'Cause you know that baby I
I'm your biggest fan I'll follow you until you love me,
Papa-paparazzi,
Baby there's no other superstar you know that I'll be your
Papa-paparazzi
Promise I'll be kind, but I won't stop until that boy is mine,
Baby you'll be famous chase you down until you love me,
Papa-paparazzi
Real good, we dance in the studio,
Snap, snap to that shit on the radio
Don't stop, for anyone,
We're plastic but we still have fun!
I'm your biggest fan I'll follow you until you love me,
Papa-paparazzi,
Baby there's no other superstar you know that I'll be your
Papa-paparazzi
Promise I'll be kind, but I won't stop until that boy is mine,

Secured tickets to Houston, Dallas, and San Fran with money to spare. Woulda bought L.A. too but Ticketmaster went down for site maintenance.
That leaves the two shows in the US that I'm least worried about getting tickets to, for me to actually get the tickets.
Next: call the airline and change my return flight from IAH on Nov 2nd to DAL on Nov 4th.
After that: start worrying about transportation between shows.
Now: back to my house (I spent the night at my mom's so I could order tix on her "speed machine"- a killer custom Asus hooked up to a T1 line- first thing in the morning), feed the dog, and head out to work to make more green to give to Kaoru & Co.

As soon as I got back from NYC I stared a new regimen: run 20 minutes a day and do the 7-day protein and citrus diet. Already it's working!
This morning, still sore and a bit weighty from swollen muscles (sore from the running), I tipped in at 110.
Holy crap. Double digits, here I come!

Fucking dumbasses.
Because those of us who matter either already had some money put away or are doing whatever is necessary to go see this phenomenon.
I'll post my sched later. Yes, the entire route's already been planned, mapped, and scheduled. All it took was each individual Twitter post. There was enough time in between to figure everything out: yes/no for that show, how/when to get there; how to work my employment schedule around it.
Believe me, if I can do this....
well, need I say more??

He said a few other things too, but I'm keeping that under wraps. Some of it may surface in the published interview...we'll see! I'll poist a link when it goes up.
Gah. My computer at home is out of comission. I'll post more about that unlikely epic weekend later, when it's back in operation.

Don't be surprised if you don't hear from me for the next couple weeks online.
1) my compy is sick and I'm taking it to Geek Squad.
2) I'll be in Las Vegas this weekend.
I'm on my mom's machine right now, but this is a very limited privilege. I will complete memes that I have been tagged for and others that I have stolen upon my return and the computer's clean bill of health.

The rules are, list seven songs you are into right now. No matter what the genre, whether they have words, or even if they're not any good, but they must be songs you're really enjoying now. Post these instructions in your LiveJournal along with your seven songs. Then tag seven other people to see what they're listening to.

2. Ryoujoku No Ame ~Dir en grey
3. Give It Away ~Red Hot Chili Peppers
4. 6th Symphony ~Ludwig von Beethoven

Anyway. Midnight has come and gone on the east coast and Twitter/Myspace/Facebook has gone untouched by them all day.
I did order two copies of the DVD: one for myself and one to be sent to a certain address in North Carolina.
And also...flist people, I'd like you to meet The Average Blasphemy. He was just born today:
When he grows up he'll look like this (check out those eyes!!):
He is what is known as a "Valkyrie Pony".

Yeah...that announcement they promised us on Twitter? I did a little detective work this morning and I found out, I believe, what it is. Or at least part of it.
You can all deflate now; exhale and start breathing again- because to most of you this won't be a big deal:

This wasn't there two days ago. This morning, it was.
Yep, they're releasing the majority of their previous works in the U.S., finally.
To the general fandom this will be fairly disappointing I'm sure, but to them and to me (people who have had a lot of dealings in the industry and know what goes into making somethig like this happen), it's a definite milesone.
You know how people always credit Yoshiki and X-Japan with revolutionizing the music industry in Japan? Well, with this news Dir en grey have actually taken it to the next level. This is something that, for all his effort and influence, Yoshiki never accomplished. This opens up a whole new door to international artists and the possibilities. Way to go, Kaoru and co., I say.

That's why my phone's out of comission right now. No worries, I'll be able to revamp my minutes on Tuesday. But after that (until Sept . 7th) I really have to chill with the text messages.
I'm getting excited for Vegas. I have written both parts of my interview for Alsdead, and have started writing the first part of Satsuki's. I need to do a little research on born, and then 'll start on thiers. And I'm fully packed for the con, save for my suits whicharen't going into the bag until the morning of my departue.
If I can corner Willingham, I'll try to snag an interview with him, too.
I put in 30 hours outside this week. That's 10 more than I'm schedled to do, and 5 more than I usualy do the week before a con...and Anime Vegas is still 12 days away!

But some people don't.
The friend I wrote about the other day, the one who emailed after I hadn't heard from her in over a year... Yeah. She emailed me again and gave me a brief rundown of what's been going on with her.
Holy shit.
I had an amazing, unbelievable year and hers was a literal living hell. A waking nightmare. Some of my deepest, most terrifying fears- she's been living them daily.
She says she's better now- or getting better- and I want to make sure she stays that way. I want to go out there, get her, and bring her back here so I can show her what life can be like when you are not surrounded every moment of every day by the wretches of society. She used to love writing but now says she can't even do that anymore. I want to give that back to her. I want her to have that passion again; she inspired a LOT of mine.

Thanks, Kaa, for putting up with me last night. I know it was late.
I didn't end up falling asleep until probably around 3.

I got an email today from a very, very important person from my past. Not my distant past, but long ago enough for me to have been really surprised to hear from her.
I almost started crying, I was so glad to see that email and know that- for now. at least, she seems to be all right. I hope that this time we can stay in touch.
