Sleep is the greatest gift of all

First! A picture from the live on the day after Osaka. It was actually Tomoyas birthday...

It is Japanese culture to smash the birthday cake in the birthday boys face... don't get me wrong, it's hilarious, I just can't help feeling that it's a waste of cake^^;
Tomoya was a little miffed at having to play the last song with a face full of cake, but it worked out alright.
We were all so tired on that day that none of us managed to stay for the afterparty to continue the birthday celebration. I think going to sleep was the best gift any of us could think of that night.



This weekend was Alcohol Maria vol.4, arranged by Rayto and Yukki from Stand Maria. And we were on the list:

I was thinking I'd wear short pants, for old times sake, and then this happened...

I figured it was fine for stage though, punk rockness up!!
But then the others were like "Inger, why are you not wearing skinnypants! The Gekirock people are here!!"
Ofcourse I'd brought pants to wear for the night, so I gave in and changed, though I personally trust that the Gekirock people don't mind people who wear shortpants :P

In the background are my friends Alex and Cat.
Cat is my best friend and she's finally come to Japan again! She's also staffing for us (and she writes our English twitter: https://twitter.com/SALTYDOG_staff ). Alex is an old classmate who's been living in Japan for a while, but he's been pretty far away. Lately though, he's been coming to Tokyo a lot more and I'm so glad we get to hang out again!

Cat and me backstage at Headpower:

Enter Tomoya:

The live was pretty good I think, though I did fuck up at the end of the ballad.
Rayto complemented me on hiding it pretty well. I always thought I was pretty good at covering when I screw up, but maybe that's just 'cause I don't really care so it doesn't have a huge impact on me.
Anyway, Rayto called me out at my tendency to laugh when I screw up, and said I did really well this time when I just pretended it was part of the song (actually, the only rule we have for the performance of this song is that we're not allowed to smile. If you smile you have to buy doughnuts for all the members, so it's pretty serious business).
Let me mention that I also down right dropped the mic on the floor on the last chorus of Meltdown, and Tomoya didn't even notice ^-^b
See? I'm good!

Here's me dressing for autumn yesterday. Today i was wearing the exact same outfit only with the sweater in black. I just want to stay warm, ok? That's all I want.

Nevertheless, I managed to cath a cold on the night of Alcohol Maria 4, when I was going home. It's the real nasty throat scraping type T_T
I need to knock it before our event, Dog Pirates Banquet vol.2 on December 6. It's not only our own event, but also our last live for the year.

So I'm eating apples, like my friend Anouk always advice me to do to beat the cold.
It's got to be gone within two weeks, right?
I'm gonna eat an apple a day (keeps the doctor away, you know?). Japanese apples are hugenormous too!
Wish me luck...


At the end, let me add this:

It's a picture that Kento posted of his bunny, Rum-chan, watching a Crossfaith video. This pic went kinda viral among our twitter followers for two days^^
If you don't know Crossfaith, do check them out!

My favourite is still their cover of Prodigys Omen. I was obsessed with that song.

Well, I've got school tomorrow!
Goodnight, Cruel World!
