I'm noticing there are alot of J-pop fans here. So I have to ask this question that has always bothered me, is it unusual to listen to J-pop if you can't understand Japanese? Is it strange that I enjoy L'Arc~en~Ciel even though I need subtitles to understand the lyrics? Please tell me I'm not the only Embarassed ?


No way! Music should be universal! Language barriers shouldn't matter.

By the way, I love L'Arc~en~Ciel to death. ^___^


show a piece of sheet music to three composers. one american one japanese and one russian...they all can play it. musci is universal...even if the lyrics arent.

and yes..L'arc forever!

Alright I decided to edit my original bio post (bottom pg 1) to reflect information that was previously listed as "unspecified". I've been thinking about how I honestly have been rather deceptive and misleading about things in previous posts and that it probably left people confused or annoyed, so I want to extend my deepest apologies to anyone who was offended or who felt I was offering to give details about me but I didn't even have the consideration to be true about the most basic stuff. However this may raise more questions about me, but I just really want to be more honest and open about myself and with fellow forum community and to clear up any confusion that might have occurred. I am guessing about 99% of people didn't really care or didn't bother to give it any thought, but for those 1% here is something closer to a resolution in case you were curious.

Consider this me coming more out in the open about my gender and sexuality since there are ANN users who do know me IRL but may have suspected something about my situation yet not realized it yet. I may even build up the courage to post a picture someday, but things are kind of complicated right now and I would rather hold off. Thank you for your understanding and patience.

Ya know, the one or two PM's I had with you in the past (heh I used your name as a figure of speech, I'm so awesome lo) make a lot more sense now heh. I had my suspicions but I make it a point not too intrude onto other's personal lives if they don't want to share it(especially of this nature). I can understand the picture complication part. Kudos to you for being brave and posting your info though. Very Happy

Yes, you look really nice Viga. Not what I pictured, but that doesn't matter, almost no one has, and like I said, you look really nice anyways. Thanks for the comment on my pic! Very Happy I wish I had a dollar for every time someone has made me blush with those ones! Embarassed

EDIT: Oh, we're not supposed to comment on other's photos? Or is that just your rule Past? sorry if we're not.

I agree with BrothersElric, many people have not quite fit what the mental image I have perceived in my mind. That's not a bad thing at all. I like surprises and it's been surprising, and fun, seeing what people look like. Everyone has looked really nice, though one or two a bit scary with their mob/morning faces Shocked heh, and I'm still amazed us guys looks so normal and good (that means you too Elric, figured I'd jump on the bandwagon heh). Even Darth Zac himself looks normal lol. (though I'm still convinced he can at least transform into evil Zac with blazing red eyes, a deep omnipotent voice, and a bitchin cape billowing in the wind)

<----

*refuses to show pictures for ambiguity reasons*

I want you all to see me as a girl in cow uniform every time I make a post, just like I see my friends as their avatar (one of which I fear really DOES look like a chibi-Gendo Ikari, and while I'm sure a second doesn't look like Misaki from Tenchi Muyo!, is just as awkward).

Oh yeah... I completely forgot about that little discussion between you I, and dormcat a while back. Thanks for your understanding.

@ BrothersElric
Zac and others made a point that those who do not post their own pics shouldn't be commenting on others, plus there was someones pic I was critiquing (albeit in a funny manner). But no (for picture commenting) it's just me, or anyone else who is too camera shy, I guess.

She looks really good. Period.
30 isn't old! (the older I get, the younger the ages seem to me...40 doesn't sound very old to me anymore...)

Past, I really don't think anyone here would ostracize you for being you.
The best way to be happy is to be comfortable being you.
