Complain about all!

@Kugayama: I'm glad it worked out for you both times. This is the first time it has happened to me (usually I'm forced to get a new laptop before ever reaching this point), so I'm not familiar with IDE and SATA. I've having my dad ask his computer tech friend, so hopefully I'll get a solution too.
 
@Kugayama: Ohh okay. Maybe then laptops are different, setup-wise. Thanks! I hope so too. At the very least, I was able to use another laptop to import my music and then just transferred it.
 
After 3 goddamn years, they finally upload 8 videos to the vevo channel. I should be happy but all I can think about is how lazy they are. and lacrimosa is STILL in shit quality. And what's kagayakusoranoshijimaniha huh? Learn how to get off your lazy asses and type.
 
It does suck that some things are only in Japan. Like the FictionJunction Club too, I would love to join, but I know only two people in Japan (my cousin's parents, they are so lucky!) but I doubt they would sign up for me. *sigh* Then they would have to send me the stuff too.

Juchan: Thanks. It is tiresome. I had back surgery in 2000 but it only corrected the bottom half of my spine. so now the top is feeling grief. Though I think the trigger points from yesterday is finally helping. I just wish I would have done that right away so that I wouldn't have wasted all that time being in pain. Ugh. I feel like it's been a whole year but really since August. Still... if I would have done that in the first place. I do have a headache today though, I got a humidifier to try and help with it, not make it worse. And I woke up and thought I was choking I couldn't breathe, and I was coughing really bad. And I get dry mouth. Anyone else have this issue? Also I am running out of room for my Kalafina/Yuki stuff and just in general. I want my own place but first I have to get a job. Then it will take me awhile to save.

I used to have dry mouth almost everyday when I had the flu. It's usually a sign of dehydration so try to drink lots of water through out the day. Paw Paw cream also works fairly well
 
Went through all my Kalafina lives/documentaries and realised that I can't play my After Eden LE DVD at all. I'll have to give it a shot tomorrow with an external drive, but it's not looking good. I'm sure I've played it before though? Or did I download it? I forget.

Also damn the visual quality of the Red Moon LE bonus DVD is awful. It sounds pretty alright but seeing artifacting on a 480p video is painful.
 
Getting my new repaired blazer from the dry cleaners reminded me that the school is/has started rolling out a new PE and summer uniform. From the few people that have seen it last year all say the new summer outfit is hideous. Apparently the plaid is gone and it's mostly white. Why the hell is everything white now??? White isn't a Loretian colour. It's never been part of the Loreto colours. It's an unflattering colour and it gets super dirty. I'm glad I don't do art anymore but I still have stains on my white winter uniform blouse from when I somehow managed to get pesto up my entire right arm in cooking class. The PE uniform is changing too, something I'm glad about. So far only the polo jumper has changed unfortunately but the rest will follow suit soon. I hope they don't change the pants, I like those. What sucks is that if anything changes the grace period is 3 years not 4. Since I only have 4 years of school left I essentially have to buy an expensive uniform for one year of school. At least I can sell it all second hand unlike my cousin who left the year before everything changed at her old school. Thankfully I'm growing out of most of my uniform items that aren't for winter. I just remembered that they're changing the socks too. DAMN IT. I LIKED THOSE SOCKS. They were saxe blue knee highs with two gold stripes. now we're getting WHITE crew socks. The knee high socks never stayed up but now my legs are going to be cold in wintertime. That means I'll be forced to wear stockings and I absolutely loathe my pair of stockings with a passion. Whatever pair my mum bought me for the Preforming Arts festival it didn't fit right. The crotch area was too big and they kept slipping.

Preforming Arts festival, that's apparently changed too. AND EVERYONE IN MY CLASS WAS SO GODDAMN SAD ABOUT IT WHEN NONE OF THEM SING AND DON'T GIVE A SHIT ABOUT MUSIC. Sorry. I needed to get that out. I just don't understand why everyone's so sad about it when none of them ever payed attention when music was compulsory which has made every teacher essentially stop teaching which means that my theory skills are highly lacking since I'm the only one in class with no musical background in my family. Also no one cared about singing EVER everyone thought the Alto side was less work so in choir pieces everyone would be on the Alto side. Sine our teachers taught us by ear she'd make the alto's learn their part first then the sopranos. Since almost everyone in class paid no attention and has the memory of a goldfish literally all the altos would sing the soprano part which meant that I was the only one actually singing the alto part!! I can't tell you how many times I've heard it "Where are My altos?? The altos need to sing louder! The altos need to work on their part!" WHEN IT'S PRETTY MUCH ONE PERSON OUTSINGING 60 PEOPLE ITS HARD.

If they make any change to the Preforming Arts festival I hope it's to the ensemble pieces. I've auditioned every year and never got it. I'll admit my auditions weren't the best but I try so hard and I've cried endlessly over them. It's also hard because they never want an alto and I never know what piece to sing. Do I go for an alto piece and show them how good I'd be at supporting or do I show them something in my higher mezzo soprano range and show them how good I'd be at a melody piece? I always feel that what lets me down mostly is my song choice because I never know what kind of a feel the ensemble is going for. It's also hard since the same people get picked almost every year. I've cried and cried and cried. Every rejection email is like a slap in the face and the performance is like a giant you suck.
 
@Liana_Ilia Not sure if this is your case, but about your dry mouth.. sometimes I had this issue when my upper airways were blocked and I breathed with my mouth. When my allergy got better and I breath only with my nouse, this improved.
 
My dad is STILL really stressed out, pretty much to the point that I can't take it anymore. Today was the third time in a week that I have broken down crying because of it. I've tried talking to him about it, but it always turns into an arguement. I am sick and tired of him, and his stress. :glower::bloodlust:

This is what I have noticed with their song titles in Kalafina's iTunes too. They just lump together all the characters in a single word, which I find quite irritating as well. In my opinion it will be better if they separate the words with spaces to make it more readable for us non-Japanese though.
 
That moment when you have a really hard decision to make and you have no idea what to do :comeback:

I don't know whether I should do band or visual arts for my elective next year... I want to do art because I'm planning on going to art school after high school (to get the training from HS), but I really don't want to leave the community/friendships/skill that I've developed in band. I have looked at art classes around where I live outside of school, but none stand out to me. I know either direction I take will be a big sacrifice for me, so I don't know which one to do...

Oddly enough, the song title has spaces between every part, whilst all of the merchandise for that particular live have the final part written as Shijimaniwa, no spaces between those words. So what is it? Is it Kagayakusoranoshijimaniwa, like these videos? Kagayaku sora no Shijimaniwa, like the merchandise (including the pamphlet, for what it's worth)?, Or is it Kagayaku sora no Shijima ni wa? Or maybe Kagayaku sora no Shijima niwa?
 
Juchan: Yeah.. I can't just change the way I breathe at night. I mean, I hate that I do breathe with my mouth open... and apparently I snore. But hopefully the humidifier will help and I am just getting used to it. Either that or a cold. It's been going around. My niece had one yesterday and she just wasn't herself (Plus her molars were coming in, poor girl, we felt so bad)

Westkana: Yeah... my dad is still stressed because he pulls everyone's pain and puts it on himself. Like taking on everyone's pain. My Aunt was in the hospital this week so he was worried about her, worried about Lia (my niece) and probably me too with this shoulder pain. I can't talk to him about it, and when I try and suggest things for him for his headaches, he says that not working will help. Well, he's not working but still gets headaches, and it gets really tense in the air. Ugh. I wish he would go somewhere in the day sometimes just to get out of the house. (I love him, don't get me wrong though.)

My shoulder is pretty bad still. For some reason at this time it gets worse. And I have a headache. I start PT next week, but I am tired of all these appointments. Nothing seems to be working, I mean, I had trigger points and that didn't work. And I think it caused more spasms. It was bad last night after getting home from my sister's. I can't do anything in the car. I mean, relaxation helps somewhat. I haven't been sleeping well because of it and I am just tired. I don't want this pain anymore. I don't want any pain or suffering in the world.

Or is it Kagayaku sora no Shijima ni wa?

This is correct. There are certain guidelines to follow when we convert Japanese words into Romaji, and because in Japanese it is written as 輝く空の静寂には. Normally, we separate each word, may it be nouns or verbs or what-not, as long as they form a single concept.
輝く = kagayaku
空 = sora
の = no
静寂 = shijima (actually "seijaku" but Kajiura-sama decided to use the other reading so what do I know XD)
に = ni
は = wa (actually "ha" but when used as a particle, reading becomes "wa")

If we don't separate ni and wa, they will be confused as a single word "niwa" which is usually converted to 庭, which means "garden" (or 二話 which mean "2 story"? idk it doesn't make sense lol). So yeap, spacing is important indeed.

EDIT: To be related to this topic, I'm sooooo sleepy lately. Someone give me some sleep and energy to do my tasts... (;A;) I hate having to wake up with constant backache and body sores OTL

^ I had a feeling it was that. Which still brings the question as to why they use Shijimaniwa as a cluster on all the official merchandise? Even more so if it literally changes the entire sentence meaning.
 
The music app on my kindle isn't loading :cry:

I tap it, but the loading circle in the middle of the screen never goes away. It's not even letting me access the music store. I know the music is on there and working, because it works fine on a 3rd-party app and it worked in the past, but it just doesn't work on Amazon's music app itself...
 
Oddly enough I had similar issues with my iPhone when they introduced Apple Music. Luckily I rarely bother using my phone for music, I have other devices for that.
