Here's an update...

For various reasons I havn't been able to post here for waaay too long, and I'm sorry about that.
To sum up my time in Japan this far it's been a lot of fun.
When I came here I lived at my ex-boyfriend, Tomos house but luckily I got an invite from my friend Mina that I could come stay with her.
Her apartment is a lot warmer and brighter, and I feel alot easier at mind here.
Not that I don't like being with Tomo. I think I still have feelings for him, but right now I can't date him. I have to figure out what is really right for me first, because breaking up again would just be too painful.
I know he probably want wait forever, and I don't want him to, but I can't rush back into it.

My band (Salty Dog) had our first live the other day, and it was great!
It was only a school festival at my old university, but it was so much fun and everyone seemed to enjouy themselves. Can't wait for our next one in just a few days.

I've been to some concerts myself too. First I went with some of my kouhais to see Ayabie (kind of crippled by the lack of vocals, and I love Yumehito and all, but he is not really as good at singing as he is on the recording for the new song!), Megamasso and Zoro. Also playing were BORN (who I totally fell in love with), SuG (who at least had a fun show) and Lolita 23ku who I unfortunately didn't get to see all of, because my friends had to go all the way back to Togane, where they live, and that's really far!
Yesterday, the 12. of December, I went to see 12012. Really nervous about wether there would be a message that they were breaking up.
But there wasn't! I'm not really sure if there was a decicion of wether to continue either, but from what I've gathered they still havn't decided. But Wataru talked alot about looking towards the future and stuff. The concert was basically a goodbye to Yuusuke, which is really really sad, but he was so cool until the end, and he said he didn't want to see our crying faces. It really made me smile through the tears.
The only one who looked unusually serious was Tohru, like he wasn't in on this at all. I hope he's allright, I know he really really wants the band to go on. So do I. But I had sweet dreams last night.

I've been kind of dating this kind of useless gyaruo for a few weeks. My friends call him Shinjuku, because he claims to be "shinjuku-kei" and not Shibuya-kei, though nobody really seems to see any difference. I know, all the time I spend badmouthing gyaryuo, and then I go off dating one. "dating", by the way. Can't say my impression has gotten any better either :p
He's very selfish, hardly ever carrys my food tray and stuff, and he's really not the brightest guy... he didn't know the true meaning of the word "fuck"(even though he really should) and he read the kanjis for Keyo-line as Keba-line. Seriously XDXD
He's also very stingy, wchich is what surprised me the most. Except for the fact that he isnists that we're dating, ofcourse. Why is he making such an effort when I'm completely ok (actually a lot better) with just being playmates. So why do I keep him around? Hmmm, 'cause I'm stupid and he is really cute and I really want a cute guy to warm my bed^^;; God, I suck XD

I've been to a few dates with other guys, but I am just too focused on looks. And I can't seem to like anyone who's not younger than me. The exception being this dude Kaworu, who I7ve been to one date with and really had a great time. He's actually quite abit older than me but he likes visual kei and he really reminds me of Daisuke lookwise, except he has a very bright personallity.
There's only one thing, he's a host by profession (but our date wasn't work), so becoming his girlfriend is completely out of the question, and for precaution I've also decided to assume anything he sais is actually a lie, even if he sounds really senciere.
I would like to meet him again though.

So yeah... guy trouble :p
Not as much as mye friend Sayaka though, but she ended up with a guy she's liked for a long time, even if he wasn't her ideal and all. I really hope it'll turn out all right, because she really needs that now^^

Tomorrow my BFF will finally be here, and I'm looking forward to meeting her! The busy days will go on from here, with my brthday and our concert and Disney Land with a few friends and concerts with Cats favourite band, Roach (hmm, seems like there's no time to meet my host...).
I'm a bit nervous about my birthday, because I realized I've told a lot of guys that I'm 22 XD It scares me how easy I lie about my age these days and I think my plan for the new year will be not to tell so many lies.

It should be all good from here, only my other wisedomtooth has started to hurt and I'm scared I might have to have it yanked out here in Japan, by a dentist I don't know. I'm a real coward when it comes to this.
I havn't daret to tell my mom this yet, because I don't want her to worry about me. So I havn't written it in my norwegian blog. I'm still hoping it will blow over this time though, I had a lot of pains in the other one before it got really bad, but it kind of clouds my days.
I don't know anyone who knows how to set up a dentist appointment. And I don't really have time to walk around with a swollen face, not being able to eat anything but italian pizza... Can't it just hold on till I get back to Norway??
Why do I always put things off?

Anyways, sorry, no pictures in this post, I'm kind of in a hurry. Maybe I'll post some later^^

どんなあなたも愛していたい

So, maybe it's time I tell you about he bad things that happened last week.
I know i doesn't sound like a big deal to most people, but you have to promise not to laugh at me.

The thing is, Yuusuke announced he's leaving 12012 after this tour...
All of a sudden he's just out. And as much as I love Yuusuke and can't really imagine the band without him, the worst part is actally that the band "can't yet decide" wether they want to keep going without him. In other words 12012, my favourite band in the whole wide world, might very possably be breaking up.
It's ike Kagerou all over again, only it might actually be worse... Partly because Kagerou always had this very negative vibe about verything they did, like the end was always ust around the bend and partly because I've had the chance to get even deeper into 12, with understanding more of the lyrics and getting to know the better.
Nevertheless I cried for two-three days when Kagerou broke up, and even more at the last concerts.

See, a favourite band like this is more than just cool music. And to put it in a ridiculously romantic way, it's like unconditional love. Kinda like a partner who will always be there to comfort you no matter if you deserve it or not. And I swear, they have a song that goes with EVERY emotion I can recall ever having! Not just sad, angry, happy, but the kind that you need a whole sentence to describe too. And that's just the music. With visual kei, there is always even more.

How can some bands become this important to us? I don't know if most people have a band or group that means this much to them, but I know some people who do, so it's not just me.
I don't really remember when or how I got this into it.
And I don't know if or how I'll ever find another band that can take that place in my heart...

Of course I'm hoping for the best, but I can't really bring myself to believe in it.
Luckily, my wonderful ex got it together to get me a ticket for the possably last 12012 live ever, the 12.th of December this year.

Happy birthday, Tomoyuki!
Today is 12012s fabulous duck-faced, shoulder-showing bassists birthday!
Let's not think about how old he is now, and just celebrate!
Jack and I even had cake today, even though it's a Thursday. Yes, we're nerds.
It kinda looks like we're celebrating Nero, but Nero is actually the name of the café where we had cake.
Cat also joined in, but I suspect she's only looking for an excuse to have cake on a weekday XD

By the way, I had a wisdomtooth pulled out on Monday, and have been complaining ever since. Not that the actual process hurt so much, thanks to the shots and drugs and all, but my face have swollen up a great deal. I didn't even want to go out of the house, I was so emberassed, but I had to go to work yesterday.
Anyway, it's almost back to normal now. I'm not posting any pictures of myself with a hamster face(I didn't take any), but if you're really curious I kinda looked like Michiru XD
I couldn't really find a picture where you can actually see that his face looks exactly like a soccerball with make-up on, but I did find out he's in a new band with his old MASK-bandmates, Sana and Kazutake.
To see what I looked like, look for the white lumpy thing. To see a crime against humanity, look at the bassist....

Alot of things are wrong with this video, but what frets me the most is how they make a man like Kazutak look so... unsexy. I'm feeling the dead animal a,d maybe the indian make-up is allright, but what's with the hair and that ugly ass pirate vest!? No, my wet fantasies! And then I think "but if he's currently in a band then maybe he can be found and grouped", and then I think "Shut up!" "No YOU shut up!"
Yeah, anyway. Let's have a look at this and remember the sexy days:

Memememe

My first post!

My name is Inger, and I have been writing my blog in norwegian for quite some time now. Thought I'd give it a try to write one in english too, partly since I have some good friends who don't speak norwegian, but anyone is welcome to read! Long as you have an open mind.

Sometimes I smile too, I just wanted to post a picture of this pretty dress ^^

So here's a little introduction of myself.

I live in Norway (so my english might not be so great). I live with my dad and is currently working at a grocery store, but not much longer ^^ I quit in November and is going to Japan for various fun.

My dream job would be something I could do from home or maybe in an office where I wouldn't have to deal with costumers or cranky schizofrenic bosses. I want to be an artist, maybe an illustrator or a comic artist.

I'm not so fond of digital art, but I love drawing and making comics, and I occationally upload them, so there will be some on here :D

I used to be a japanese student and spent one and a half year at the JIU in Chiba, Japan. By the way, Chiba is NOT Tokyo!w

Through some good friends and romantic entaglements I learned to love it in Japan, and have been back again and again, even though it's mighty costy. Not sure I would like to live there permanently though.

With all this it probably sounds like I want to be a manga artist. I don't.I could write a loooong post about that, but maybe later. For now, some facts...

My favorite fashion styles:

hime, lolita, mori girl and oshare kei.

I generally respond to very feminine and cute things, but I kind of have "two sides", because sometimes I feel like dressing cute-punk or hip hop-ish oshare kei.

I'm not a gyaru, even though I like alot of things considered gyaru-ish, since I fell for the hime style. I say this because I don't have the gyaru-attitude and I wouldn't describe my style as sexy. Doesn't mean I have anything against gyarus though, ofcourse :D

Favorite brand at the moment is definitely LIZ LISA.

My favorite bands:

12012, Zoro, MUCC, One Ok Rock, Bug Lug.

I mostly listen to Visual Kei, but I'm not really a big generist. If I like it, I listen to it, if I can dance to it, I dance to it, if it's fun to sing I'll sing it. Japanese or none-japanese. However, that doesn't mean I'll nesesserily get really into it and buy CD's. I am a fan of CD's though ^^

My Favorite movies at the moment:

Pans Labyrinth and 28 Days Later.

I love horror, and I love/hate zombies. I like watching bad horror movies as well as good ones. That being said it doesn't HAVE to be horror, but I admit I easily shy away from schi-fi, fantasy and romantic comedies, unless I get some kind of credible recomendition.

Feel free to recomend!^^

My favorite actors:

Tsukamoto Takashi, Oguri Shun, Cillian Murphy, Keira Knightly, Narimiya Hiroki and ofcourse Johnny Depp.

Other than that... I don't smoke XD And I like animals and cute things. My favourite color is pink (big surprise) and pastels, and I'm obsessed with roses. I'm not really big on Hello Kitty, but I love Rilakkuma, and especially Korilakkuma.

I imagine I'm a very easy person to find presents for, because I have so many likes. I am also kind of obsessive.

I also have a bunch of dislikes ofcourse, but I'm sure they'll naturally come out in my blog posts. Don't really feel like listing them all now, I think ^^

Ok, that was ALOT of talking about myself. As for this blog, I will try to update it almost in phase with my norwegian blogs, but at the moment I can't make any promises, since it all takes alot of time, and I'm a busy busy girl.
