( Pacta Sunt Servanda )

Shamelesly ripped off from DEAD END's official MySpace, but I had to post this picture here for I am utterly in love with him: Morrie.

He's the vocalist of the legendary Japanese band DEAD END, which has returned after a 20-year hiatus with an awesome album, "Metamorphosis". Check out the promotional video for Princess, the best song in the album imho. I also recommend "Manterou Game", "Dress Burning", "Terepashi" and "Guillotine".

Edit: ( Here's the roomaji for 'Princess' I just did last night for no other reason but for the fact that I could? )

Morrie is also known for his other project, Creature Creature, which has had tetsu (L'Arc~en~Ciel) and Shinya (ex-LUNA SEA) as support members and now consists of Hiro (ex-La'cryma Christi), Shinobu (ex-Guy's Family), Hitoki (ex-Kuroyume) and Sakura (ex-L'Arc~en~Ciel) - and Morrie, of course. AND CREATURE CREATURE HAS BEEN CONFIRMED FOR 2010 IN BRAZIL AND I'M CRAZY ABOUT THIS AND I CAN BARELY WAIT.

AND TO ALL THOSE PEOPLE WHO THINK CREATURE² IS JUST TETSU'S PROJECT AND THAT MORRIE IS HIS SIDEKICK - HE IS NOT. MORRIE IS THE BRAIN OF THIS WHOLE THING. tetsu even left the project and isn't with Creature Creature anymore, so get your facts straight. Creature Creature rocks because of Morrie and tetsu only lent a hand. Are we clear?

Morrie is awesome. There're no words to describe his talent and his deep and unique voice. He has such an aura, it's so easy to forget about the rest of the band and focus on him and he's sooooooo... Powerful and mesmerising. It's pretty similar to the effect Atsushi has on me. 8D

Google tells me he was born in 1964. Wow. Just... Wow. He's a thousand times better than any 18-year-old kid from a generic VK band who looks like a girl. Srsly. MORRIE > tout le monde et son voisin! Except Atsushi and my beloved GLAY/PIERROT members. ♥

I suddenly remembered this MSN conversation with someone who was freaking out about Aoi (from Gazetto) turning 30 and getting old and I was like "...He's still a kid!". I like my men idols experienced, thank you very much.

So I finally watched Code Geass. *__* Both seasons. And I feel ridiculously stupid for having taken so long to do that, but at least I'm part of this insanely large fandom. xDDD

Sooo~. I must say that my first impression regarding the series was "OMG, LIGHT! YOU'RE BACK! AND WITH A GUNDAM!" Honestly, I found myself wondering about who came first: Light or Lelouch? XD And of course I couldn't help but think of the Gundam series whenever one of the Knightmares appeared on screen. x3

I've watched all the episodes really quickly and I enjoyed it immensely. I like anything with a well-thought plot and developed characters, but I think it could have ended... Better. x___x I mean, I can accept the whole thing behind the Geass and how it manifests itself differently from person to person, but R2 suddenly became ABSURD with that whole thing about Gods and whatnot and with people who were supposed to be dead coming back. o__O Actually, Code Geass seems to follow Supernatural's "anyone can die" line of work - but whether they stay dead is an entirely different matter. XD Actually, I recommend the article on Code Geass at the TV Tropes! Spoilers galore, but whoa, such an amusing read. x3

So, regarding the characters... Lelouch is someone my friend hated as the series went on, but he loves Light - so I was waiting for me to feel like that but... I didn't. XD I really like Lelouch, even if he's a manipulative bastard for 99,9% of the time. But, unlike Light, Lelouch has some genuine emotions and he truly cares for certain people, especially Nunnally - and Light didn't really care for his family, since he kills his own father. >> Anyway. He also seems to care for certain characters and I find his goals more "acceptable" than Light's.

Suzaku... Confuses me. I really liked him at first and I admire him for his view on "trying to change things from inside" and I'm rather similar regarding that side of him - but I'm not a big fan of his. XD He doesn't really seem... Real, being so "good" when everyone else despises him and wants him dead and so on. >_> I loved it when he decided to team up with Lelouch, though. 8DDD It was so heroic, two of the greatest minds working together, weee! I was "GO GO GO SUZAKU!" all the time. XD

And now, the main girls: C.C. and Karen were okay. I don't know why but it's incredibly easy for me to despire female protagonists these days - it's getting harder and harder to me to like the girls and I can't help but think that it has something to do with the traditional way Japanese girls are usually portrayed. x__x Gah, I remember how badly I had to restrain myself from punching shop assistants while in Japan because they all greeted you with that high-pitched "Irashaimasseeeeee, douzoooo~" and it made me ears bleed. I have a friend who works at the McDonald's in Japan and he's told me that whenever a girl is hired to work there, she's actually trained to speak annoyingly like that because it's supposed to be polite and/or pleasant to the customers. Guh. Srsly, I almost gave up shopping sometimes because of those girls.

But I disgress - what I liked about C.C. and Karen is that both of them had personality and struggled to achieve their goals. Karen was shorter-tempered and had much more attitude, but they were okay. And I guess I can see why people ship either C.C./Lelouch or Karen/Lelouch. *nods* Shirley was okay too, despite her being much more the type of girl I usually do not like - but she was nice! :D She seemed real and beliavable and not utter annoying like, say, Yuki from Vampire Knight. I felt sorry for her not being with Lulu. :x

Now... I really, REALLY disliked Euphemia and Anya. -____- GAH, I HATE THOSE CHARACTERS, SRSLY. Overly cute, fluffy princesses full of peaceful ideas and whatnot... I honestly admire people who are idealistic, but there's a limit to how naïve you can be when facing reality. -_-b Euphie was just stupid sometimes, really. And Anya... I really dislike insanely talented, cold kids with no memory of their past. It's incredibly common in anime-verses and yet so far-fetched! O__O Give it up already, people. Kids are different IRL. Kaguya is much more likable and funny! :D And Cornelia is my heroine, srsly - her voice is gorgeous (her seiyuu usually voices BOYS. -_- She has such a beautiful and deep voice - and it's very womanly!).

And since we're speaking of seiyuus... OMFG, Xing-ke was voiced by no other than MIDORIKAWA HIKARU. SNFKNHDJBFG, MIDORIKAWA HIKARU. ♥ I was sooo happy when I found out about this. *__* I was literally grinning and smiling by myself, really! I love Midorikawa since Schuldig from Weiß Kreuz and he's one of my favourite seiyuus, along with Seki Toshihiko and probably Jun'ichi Suwabe and Hayami Shou. Anyway! I loved the character as well - he's a bishounen (well, Midorikawa voices him, so that's a given xD) and I remember looking at him at the final chapter of the 1st season and thinking "hmmm, this long-haired guy must be someone interesting!". I liked his relationship with the tiny Chinese Empress. ♥ He was just awesome, period.

And now... My new obsession: Schneizel and Kanon! They gotta be the most kanon canon couple from CG and I mean it. >D Kanon is just in R2 and he introduces himself as the "aide to His Highness Schneizel to public and private matters". 8DDD He waves it off as a joke afterwards, but it was soooo funny to see the reaction of the girl who he had said that to. XD And plus, he's a crossdresser, accoding to the CG novels - and he was fired from every job he had because of that habit, until Schneizel, Prime-Minister and Second Prince of the Holy Britannian Empire, hired him. As Kanon said, "Schneizel liked eccentric people like him". XDDD There's not much info on him, but it's so deliciously easy to slash him... I just don't understand why there's so little fanfic around for such a pairing. o__o They even have a picture drama in which they talk about their school days - they went to school together and Schneizel used his whip on Kanon. 8D DUDE. DUUUUDE. *slams head against the wall* I NEED MOAR FANFICTION. I even wrote a drabble about them which will eventually be translated into English because I would love reviews. :3

Other highly likable characters were Lloyd with his crazy scientist demeanour; Cecil and how believably nice and normal she seemed (if compared to her co-worker, Lloyd xD) and Gino, the only Knight of Round I really liked. xD He was such a genki and nice boy, I really think that he and Karen would make a great pairing. :D

So, in short, I enjoyed both seasons and I wished for more, but it doesn't seem that likely. I now have to find something else to entertain me with... Since Kuroshitsuji's 2nd season has been greenlit but so far we got nothing. NOTHING. And the 2nd season was announched in June! *pouts* I NEED MOAR SEBASTIAN. The OVA was such torture~. Oh, how I had missed Sebastian's "Yes, my Lord"s, SID's "Monochrome no Kiss" opening, Grell's random outbursts... Everything! ♥ So, until then... I need recs! :x Anyone is reading/watching anything good these days?

It's random and unrelated to anything else, but I need to point out that Morrie is such an awesome singer and DEAD END is such a legendary band that ONLY them managed to get Lady GaGa's "Bad Romance" from my last.fm profile. Okay, GLAY deserves an honorary mention, but I've been listening to DEAD END's new "Metamorphosis" album nonstop for almost three hours? Princess is the best song, imho. I'm glad they're back together after 20 years! ♥

Hello, FL! :DDD

Unfortunately I was busy with work those past 2 years, but this year I'll hopefully be sending Christmas cards to everyone again! \o/ So if you'd like a card from the Mari, please message me or comment here with your address! Comments are screened, so no worries~.

If you guys also want to write me (which I would LOVE, because, seriously, I love getting snail mail from all over the world. Don't you guys love looking at the different stamps? I know I do), please tell me so I can message you with my address as well. n__n

Thank you, lovelies! ♥

GLAY isn't just a band - they're my life, something that defines me and that has shaped me into who I am. To see them live was a dream, a dream which came true over 2 months ago - and, despite everything working out well and apart from this feeling of being fulfilled, I'm pretty sure that this is only the beginning. I will see those four boys - again-. And, without further ado, the 1st (very much late) report!

I'm tired. I've given up running after people and apologising when I'm not the one at fault and taking all the blame for everything.

I hate to be such a perfectionist sometimes - I always take responsibility for anything that goes wrong or fails in relationships, but not anymore. I'm not perfect and no one else is - so there's no point believing that everything is going to be perfect as well.

As Vinícius de Moraes would say, "que seja infinito enquanto dure" ("let it be infinite while it lasts" would be the translation. Vinícius de Moraes is a great Brazilian composer and poet, and his "Sonnet on Fidelity", from which I've taken the quote above, can be read in a good English translation here).

So. :x No Huggy Bear Castiel until January 14th. HOW ARE WE SUPPOSED TO LIVE UNTIL THEN?

I was totally expecting more Castiel in those 10 episodes of Season 5, but dude, whenever he shows up it's just plain AWESOME. I can't possibly put into words HOW MUCH I loved 5x10. Srsly. Almost as much as I loved 4x10 ("He has a weakness, you know. He likes you.") - and that is saying a LOT.

I have to admit: season 5 started well, then I didn't like the new episodes very much until 5x08. And 5x08, 5x09 and 5x10 totally made up for it. And 5x04, just because stoned!Cass is just too much fun.

COME BACK SOON, SHOW. I NEED MOAR CASTIEL RITE NAO. ♥

Have I done this before? 8DDD I have no idea, but here we go:

1. Pick your birth month.
2. Strike out anything that doesn’t apply to you.
3. Bold the ones that best apply to you.
4. Copy to your own blog.

SEPTEMBER: Suave and compromising. Careful, cautious and organized. Likes to point out people’s mistakes. Likes to criticize. Stubborn. Quiet but able to talk well. Calm and cool. Kind and sympathetic. Concerned and detailed. Loyal but not always honest. Does work well. Very confident. Sensitive. Good memory. Clever and knowledgeable. Loves to look for information. Must control oneself when criticizing. Able to motivate oneself. Understanding. Fun to be around. Secretive. Loves leisure and traveling. Hardly shows emotions. Tends to bottle up feelings. Very choosy, especially in relationships. Systematic.

SCARY. IT'S DOWNRIGHT SCARY.

( All the months. )

My first time in a festival, yay! Or not that yayish, since the day didn't go as I had planned.

However, I constantly thank God for Panic! at the Disco, bitmoo and my sister for saving days like those. x3

HOPELESS MARI IS HOPELESS.

I should be sleeping or doing something useful, but I'm wasting time on the internet thinking about how awesome my ML RP with yusahana6323 is going to be and how we're gonna take over the world prepare the way for Ludwig's world domination with our drabbles.

I've been insanely happy for the past two days because I don't remember having such fun online. 8D GREAT MINDS THINK ALIKE. I SWEAR WE HAVE THE SAME MIND WAAAAVES.

Why must awesome people live so far away from me? ;___;

Tomorrow I'll RP more. ♥ I BET NO ONE FROM MY MSN UNDERSTANDS MY NICKNAME. 8D It's simple, really: I'm RPing Orpherus. Orpherus Fürst Von Marmalade Nahe Görz. So therefore I am Lady Marmalade. A-HA. FEAR ME AND MY AWESOME iOrphe ICON!

...Okay, I'll sleep now. But just because I don't want you guys locking me up somewhere dark and scary after this display of madness. 8D

I DID A FANART. I SWEAR. IT'S ML IN STICKY FIGURES (I EVEN COLOURED IT!) AND IT'S AWFUL AND SUCH AN EPIC FAIL THAT I WAS AMAZED AT HOW HARD I COULD ACTUALLY FAIL THIS TIME. But it's kinda funny, or at least Hana makes me believe so! 8D
