OMG MOBY DICK!!!



This is a serbian band I've grown up with, but absolutely no one seems to remember except my family, who were the ones to introduce me to it anyway. I was looking at Eurovision videos for this year's contest and I suddenly remembered these guys, who I've absolutely worshiped for the past... 10 years, at LEAST. It took some searching but I finally found some of their videos (which I'd never seen before)~ and I also found a serbian site where I can buy their music!! :D Yay for olden favourites XD

The song above is one of their most recent ones. This song on the other hand is one of those I have on a cassette since I was 8 or something, maybe even younger. [linked because it might be a little inappropriate towards the end~ whatever did they need that footage for? :P]

Anyway, I'm so glad I found their stuff somewhere. Proves that they existed! So far everyone I've met from Serbia claims complete ignorance. I mean, WTF?! And I'm TOTALLY buying their CDs because they make me feel like I'm 6 years old again. :D So cute.

I finalized my choice to go to Brunel.
I AM NOW OFFICIALLY GOING TO BRUNEL UNIVERSITY IN SEPTEMBER 2008 TO STUDY CREATIVE WRITING.

Clicking the "yes" button was done with a deep breath.
But it's over now. I am so glad it's done. ^^ Had to withdraw my app from Goldsmiths, but with all the crap they were giving me it serves them right. :P

Also,
I'm leaving for Amsterdam this morning.
Will be back on Thursday. Lots of randomness predicted for both the trip and after... ^^ It's going to be a lot of fun, hopefully. I just hope it doesn't rain *crosses fingers*~

Um, that's all I guess.
*has run out of things to say*
Bye bye~ ^^

This anime kicked ASS. It was brilliant, amazing, wonderfully written, so sweet, and it has the bizarre power of taking you both 20 years into the future and 15 years back into the past... Superb series. Superb. :D

Synopsis: 11-year-old Okonogi Yuko has just moved into Daikoku City due to her father's job transfer. The year is 2026, and the real world is now blended with the digital world; children and adults now wear the so-called "Cyberglasses", which allow them to see digital things such as screens, pages, and even creatures (observe the dog in the picture: it is Yuko's cyber-pet dog, Densuke). Most kids are expert hackers even by the age of 10, and all of their digital actions can be seen as graphics or real events in front of their own eyes since the digital world is, for them, as real as the real one. Their only enemy is the antivirus program installed by the city council, Satchii, a big red robot-like blob which is designed to look and sound friendly but will attack any digital item that is out of the mainstream. As a result, the kids end up running from it quite a lot. When Yuko and her sister Kyoko have a run-in with a mysterious black cybercreature (enigmatically called "Illegal"), Yuko's adventure in the cyberworld will begin, and change her life and that of those around her in many ways.

Now there's a big mystery behind everything you see in this anime, and even if I try to explain I will be baffled in my own words so I have to say only ONE thing to you all: WATCH IT. IT FREAKIN' ROCKS. The music rocks (if you liked the Yami No Matsuei OST, well, it's the same composer = EPIC WIN), the animation rocks (Madhouse :D), the script is something beyond this world, and the characters are also one of a kind... Since they're like 11-12, they're still children. The things that they do, even though they're serious and they affect many things on multiple levels, are still like a game to them, in the way that all children like to play when they're around that age, wanting to solve mysteries and stuff. They reminded me a lot about myself, even though (as always with anime characters) they carried a lot of baggage and they often thought in rather mature ways. But they felt real. They felt like children. And that's awesome, because for once these children were children. not some kids-filled-with-super-awesome-pwning-powers-that-know-way-too-much. Because face it, 90% of anime series have characters of that sort. And while they're fun to watch, they lose the realistic feel one might expect from characters sometimes.
So, yeah. Great series. WATCH WATCH WATCH. :D

Oh, also please watch THIS.
Cellphone rant for the masses... This dude rocks. *g*

Waaah, the Zettai Kareshi jdrama is super awesome!

( spoilers? )

Now on to the muzzer™ rant (these are getting a little scarce these days, haha [/sarcasm])~
This morning while I was going to bed (this statement is ironic by itself) she randomly woke up and saw that I was still up and came in and started a whole speech about how I'm completely worthless and have developed an addiction to the computer (on which I have two comments: one, it's better than being addicted to alcohol or cigarettes, and two, it's not an addiction per se, because -and I have proved this during the past year- I can in fact live without a computer AND without an internet connection. if I take away her morning coffee she'll be dragging herself around all day. THAT's an addiction). True, I tend to stay up all night on the computer because I'm doing things online, things I don't even manage to finish, and most of the time I have at least five other things I need to do but never have time for. For me, for some of you and for most people on this site or deviantArt, these things are understandable. Perhaps my turning around of the biological clock would be frowned upon, but I'd get a sympathetic "I know what you mean". That means something to me. And I'm not about to go onto the cliche argument of how the generations now have a rift and there's no way my mother would understand something so ahead of her own time as livejournal, icons, Johnny's Entertainment or the crack found in Prince of Tennis and D-Boys, because let's face it, it's a fact. I will never expect her to understand this. However, I will not put up with derogatory characterisations and comparisons with my father (something she always does whenever I'm being lazy or bored and laying about), because it's my own kind of hobby and I feel like I'm making something, instead of just sitting there surfing. Essentially it is just surfing, but it's somehow more than that. It's hard to explain.

If you understand, thank you. If you don't, please don't start with muzzer-like comments because frankly, I've had enough. Don't go on about how "she's right, you know", because I do know, and I am trying to turn the clock around, and I don't need anyone to tell me that. I hate it when people tell me what to do or not do.


Johnny's rambles:

1. Something I've wanted to point out since I first saw the Keep the Faith PV (which by the way, KICKS ASS): Don't Kame and Jin (especially Jin though) look very tired? Jin has bags under his eyes that are super evident, and Kame as well though his are not so puffy. Also Jin's solo cam parts look like he's just doing this to get it over with, with a few usual grimaces and movements which guarantee the kakoi effect. Near the end he looks so exhausted, like he's keeping himself awake. *sigh* Those two should stop staying up late doing naughty things, especially on work nights. There's weekends for that, boys.
2. Is Kanjani8's Purin a song about what I think it is? Actual pudding?!?! I didn't like them much before but THIS SONG MAKES UP FOR EVERYTHING I SWEAR. XDDDDD *sings along* "Purin, purin, daisuki sa purin~~" *g*
3. I had a dream last night and it involved me and Ikuta Toma in uh, embarrassing scenes. *blush* I didn't know I liked him so much, lol. (There was also Oguri Shun, with very fuzzy hair and a weird hair accessory on his head. Later on for some reason it got curly. My subconscious is confused about Oguri Shun's hair, apparently. For good reason too, but that's another story.)

NEW LAYAUT.
katiedistance , yo!

Happy Easter to those of you who are Orthodox. Χριστός ανέστη, χρόνια πολλά, και του χρόνου με υγεία ευτυχία και αγάπη, etc.
I am SO not Christian, yet I like the feeling of something returning each year, like the tradition of Easter. Lighting the candles in front of the church is really fun, you mingle with a lot of people you don't know. Even in the slight rain, like last night. *sigh*

Uhm. Have spent most of my day looking at JE pr0n icons. And downloading DBSK photobooks.
It's been productive. XD I feel a craving to read moar KAT-TUN gossip. D: From the olden wank days too, haha.

I'm watching Dennou Coil, and it KICKS ASS.
Also starting Zettai Kareshi jdrama tomorrow (because now I have the precise amount of energy required to finish this entry & crawl into bed).

Did manage to salvage my patterns, but barely (yesterday I slept from 10:30 till 4, alhtough I was woken up like a million times... then last night I slept at 2am and I woke up today at noon :D) ~ only to fuck them up again today. Observe the time plzkthx.
Eh well. At least it's manageable.

xmtx !!! I NEED TO SEE YOU! D: Sorry I was busy on MSN today, I was fixing this piece of junk :P

I want to give a proper welcome to my new friends: dinosunglasses , marilena_r , x_saru_x  (I swear I think of you each time real person slashfics are mentioned, ahhhh), seanata , arsinoi , arakas , hiroki_chan , greek_dude . I hope I'm not forgetting anyone! :) Hi and hope I will talk to you a lot and learn stuff about you and become friends. I like making friends. :3

Now that I've got the DBSK photobooks I've been looking for (mainly the Bonjour Paris series, and some others), I will go on a D-Boy spree when I next have time. I want those scans where Araki and Zukki have sandwitched Seto and are almost molesting him, GAYNESS GALORE XDDD

MASSIVE CATCHING UP ON FLIST TOMORROW. I'll try, at least. :*
Hope all of you are safe and okay, talk to you soon. ^^

SLEEP PATTERN CHART OF 24-25.04.2008:
- Thursday, April 24: Went to bed at 7:20am of the following morning.
- Friday, April 25: Woke up at 6:30pm, stayed up until

NOW.

And the greatest irony of all is that my mind is on FULL ALERT (I comment like crazy and with long, eloquent answers on both dA and LJ) while my body is telling me to go to sleep.

I don't want to go to sleep. T_T I like my alert brain, it's been hibernating almost all day yesterday (the time I was awake, anyway :P) and I'm downloading things like mad and I don't want to leave things in the middle. Got to finish what you start, no?

Umf.
I wish I had something creative to say.

I need to listen to music.

Goldsmiths decided it's also missing a reference letter. A letter no one else asked for.
And even if I reason with that [seeing that normally my application SHOULD have a reference letter in it but it's missing because the teacher I asked it from gave it to me one day later than the application deadline] they tell me this less than a month before I have to make my decision. The deadline's May 9. OH MY GOD WHY ARE THE STUPID PEOPLE ATTACKING ME?!

To top it all off, the reference letter I have has been emailed to me. No official stamps and stuff.
I'm going to forward it to them, and that will have to do.
And if it doesn't, FUCK THEM. I don't have time for this shit.

In other news, I had a dream last night, and my GOD did it kick ass. :D
( involves death, spirits, gangsters, and William Beckett. )


Brief mention of three things that are pissing me off at this moment:
I. Emma-stinkin'-Watson just got TWENTY MILLION POUNDS from the HP movies as a whole, since she turned 18 like 10 days ago. TWENTY FRIGGIN MILLION POUNDS. And I'm can't even gather 100 lousy euros to go get myself a scanner. I get pissed off at the unfairness of some people getting all the luck (especially when they don't deserve it). If you look at the bigger picture, IT'S OUTRAGEOUS.
II. My ex-boyfriend is ignoring me like I don't exist, when I am completely normal and friendly with him, like we used to be before we got together. Those were fun times, man! Don't ruin a perfectly fine friendship! >.< I swear he must hate me or something, when I didn't even TELL him what was wrong with him and why I broke up with him because it would break his heart. Suddenly I'm this evil person he doesn't even talk to. He ignores my comments on the YT vids he and the guys made, and on his "art" on dA, and from what I hear he's been acting like a downright diva. OH MY GOD GET A GRIP YOU IDIOT. He's like 100 times worse than when we were together, makes me actually say "thank God I'm not with that guy anymore", you know? *sigh* My problem with him is the fakeness of it all. (Then why do you bother, stupid Kath?!)
III. Certain people need to STOP TALKING ABOUT THEMSELVES. It's annoying. You meet up with this person, you have like a bajillion common interests, and upon conversation this person talks only about themselves and what they've accomplished and the things they like and cute family stories and BLAH BLAH BLAH~ leaving you---in reality, me---unable to form a single sentence that's longer than "Oh, me too." What is up with that? Stop it right now or I swear to Silvanus I'm gonna kill ya, and then I'm gonna work on ya. I fuckin' hate people like this. They piss me off.

That's a log of stuff for one entry O_o
Hope I didn't tire y'all.
Must go to bed... Bye nya!

Elissaios and Alice together are an absolute disaster.
But that's not entirely bad... Lol.

Nya, generally speaking Alice doesn't fit in with a lot of people, especially the normal ones. But he figured her out after a point so he stopped being annoyed by her, and that's fine. As long as people don't stick to their first impressions, no matter how bad those are, everything is fixable. ^^

My mom is leaving for Serbia tonight so we're going to stay at my grandmother's for a few days... >.< That will put me back into a normal schedule, so to speak... That's okay I guess, I needed to change my sleeping patterns anyway. I hate this whole i'm-turning-into-a-vampire thingy, it wears me out like whoa. I have to start thinking of excuses to come home and use the internets :P I don't plan of staying there 24/7, that's suicide. :P

This is what I'm listening to and it's so cute omg. ^^
Teppeiiiiii ♥♥♥

JPop for the salarymen.
This is so lively :D

I need Yamapi icons. *hangs head*

And I also need to STOP WATCHING THINGS ON YOUTUBE AND GO WRITE SOME FANFICTION.
Seriously.
