Thanks to them I've become a gossip addict

It's about Aoi and Kazuki.


(laughs)


Lately my yaoi-radar has been beeping loudly whenever something new came up about them. It began when a fanfic appeared in Jrockyaoi, the pairing was AoixKazuki (I'm so sorry but I forgot who wrote it ><). Normally I don't read crossover pairings, but something attracted me in the fanfic's header. It said, based on Kazuki's blog entries. That made me lift a brow. If it was based on blog entries, wouldn't it be like, based on true story?

The fanfic was about Aoi treating Kazuki for dinner (and how it continued, but I don't really know, I didn't exactly read the whole fic... orz). I knew that GazettE boys had hung out with Screw (I think Aoi, Uruha and Sakai went for drinks with Screw one night), but I never knew Aoi was that friendly with Kazuki. So I googled for Kazuki's blog, searching for the entry that got me curious. I found it.


Well, it was interesting, to say the least (laughs).


In that entry Kazuki spoke of Aoi treating him out for dinner, and then he brought him to his apartment (Aoi brought Kazuki, I meant) and let him play the oh-so-legendary ~en~ (Aoi's guitar). Now if that wasn't yaoi-alert, I don't know what else. (laughs)

It's amusing because Kazuki seems to be an Aoi-fanboy. When I backtracked, there were more entries (I can't remember how much, but there were more) about his meetings with Aoi and Uruha. Such a fanboy; he was so happy when Aoi, Uruha gave him stuff, equipments they no longer use.


I know I am such an AoixRuki die-hard fangirl, but I can't deny these 'hints' made me squeal like the dedicated fujoushi that I am (laughs).


And tonight, unexpectedly, Kazuki popped up in twitter. Yes, that's right! He now has a twitter account, following two of his bandmates and, of course, Aoi! Can you guess who he followed first? Without a doubt: Aoi.


So I squealed again.



Aoi hasn't followed Kazuki yet (he hasn't been checking his twitter, I'm worried... So much for hoping he'd spam all over my timeline (cries)). I can't wait until he does. I can't wait to read what they might tweet to one another. Okay so that's the fujoushi in me speaking, but really. Let's just wait until Aoi logs in again. Come on man, MUCC's Tatsuro tweets insanely, I know you can do better than him! (laughs)


Okay, until then, I'll be around to stalk them both.

It's always been grotesque things

Okay so here I am, having just pimped the blog into what it appears now. I must say, it looks quite lovely. To tell the truth I wanted it to look dark, majority black but most of the dark backgrounds weren't satisfying enough, in my humble opinion *laughs*. But then, using mostly purplish ornaments, I think it looks pretty neat. Hopefully it's also eye-safe.

Oh and I also added the twitter widget on the sidebar. Now you can find out whenever I am in the mood to rant or spam about the most unimportant (and sometimes even disturbing) things.



Blog-pimping aside, I'm here now to talk about my childhood obsession, and I think some of you might remember this movie of which I am about to discuss here. The title is The Addams Family, and if I'm not mistaken it was played in theaters somewhere around the year 1991.

Maybe I was born with the tendency to love everything grotesque, dark, gloomy and gothic. I don't know. But for certain, I loved this movie the first moment I watched it. And I was just a kid back then. If it really was released in 1991, then I would be... 7 years old? Yeah, I think that's correct (pardon my calculating-ability, it doesn't work very well at this time of the night).

The whole atmosphere of this movie is everything I love about fashion, furniture and/or style in general. It's thoroughly dark with a funny side, an uncomfortable contrast had it been displayed elsewhere, but in this movie it became something fresh and amusing. Unlike horror movies, the grotesque side in The Addams Family didn't make me turn away from the screen. Despite the inhuman idea of electrocuting your big brother (in real life he should have turned to roasted meat) and a mutilated hand that could move around by itself, the movie itself was not horrifically scary. Of course, if it had been a horrifically scary movie the rating wouldn't have been family-friendly.

I personally love the characteristic of each member of the Addams Family. The father, Gomez, he looked like a mafia guy to me. The mother, Morticia (don't you just LOVE that name??!), kind of resembled a vampiress. And I love her dress. The kids, Wednesday and... what's her brother's name? *laughs* Well, obviously I put more attention on Wednesday more than I did the brother, but that was because she was one of the most brilliantly-invented characters in the history of movies. Okay I might have exaggerated that a bit. Wednesday is truly my favorite.


Okay so that's Wednesday Friday Addams (more details about her here). Adorable, isn't she? Christina Ricci was the cast, and she had the perfect gloomy, expressionless face to play Wednesday. Twin-braided dark hair, plain dark dress, pale skin... She's my role model. I mean, I've always wanted to look like her, but I don't have the skin complexion that she has *sobs* But maybe someday I can cosplay her... Just for a random, nothing-serious occasion. Her appearance is rather simple, but I will need lots of white powder to achieve that skin tone.


Now I wonder if Michelle Phan can do a tutorial on Wednesday's makeup. I should ask her.


Alright well, The Addams Family was and still is one of my favorite family-comedies. I have just downloaded (yes I know, the shame...) the movie and I'm going to re-watch it when I have the time to. I recommend you or whoever happens to stumble into this blog to watch it too. Who knows you'll fall in love with Wednesday Addams too, like I did.


So that's it for tonight then. I'll see you in another random entry.

Reno's Blog: 2010/06/22

Notes:I don't know why I'm doing this, maybe because it's fun? But I don't know if I'm going to do it regularly... Translating, I mean. Because sometimes these jrockers use weird accents / slangs, and honestly I am just a beginner in Nihongo. I use online translator as well to help me out with the kanji characters. Thus my translation is only 60% trustable *laughs*. But as I already mentioned, I'm just doing this for fun.

Here's the first trial, and it's from Reno's blog. A little warning though. Reno flashes his stuff quite generously.

The return of the unknown

Oh hell.

Do you want me to be honest? Well, honestly, I forgot about the existence of this blog until a few days ago I was lurking around in twitter and saw a bunch of people updating their blogs. I suddenly thought, wouldn't it be nice if I wrote some crap in the blog I had... And then I thought. Oh my god. I have a blog!

Yes. This blog has a very pitiful fate to be so cruelly forgotten.

Which then gets me thinking, is this a good thing, me coming back to this blog? I don't know. Hopefully it is.

Truthfully I have tons of things I wish I could've written right after they happened. People disappointed me, I disappointed myself. I met awesome people and awful people met me. Friends came and went. Stories passed without a history being recorded. My mistake.

This may be another wishful thinking, I mean I know I'll never be a dedicated enough blogger. I already fail hard as a writer. But once in a while I might actually drop by in here and post a story or two, or a dozen if I'm up to it. The point is to share, isn't it?

So once again, greetings and hello.
