I am the real Kinsao Ikioa. My interests encompass the whole world, with the exception of golf. I enjoy music, especially metal, J-rock, goth, industrial goth and late-20th-century rock. At the moment my favourite bands include Közi, Malice Mizer, Dir en grey, Alice Cooper, SID, Avenged Sevenfold, Kagerou, D'espairsRay, Eve of Destiny, Aushvitz, Art Marju Duchain, Kagrra and many others. I trained as a Fine Art practitioner. I also like motorbikes (particularly classic British bikes), darkness, holidays, hot blokes and vanilla ice latte (not necessarily in that order). I speak French and English and I am learning Japanese. I currently live and work in England.

I haven't posted in a while because of being busy at work.
Got sick at the weekend - migraine. >< OK now though.
Saturday was fine, I did some Christmas shopping. The horrible task. I like getting presents for people, but it's so difficult to choose, and this year I don't have so much money either to get many presents. T_T And it's not so much the money... it's knowing... it's a drag to wander around the city and look in shops for inspiration. You never see anything good then. Anyhow, I got most all of it done except a few things... ^_^
I saw the new Harry Potter movie, it was good! There were some bits missed out from the book, but the story line didn't suffer too much because of that... it's so long they have to leave bits out of it... I think they should have shown the winning part of the Quidditch match though, just to get a better idea of the crowd's excitement... just the final catch, not so much it gets boring. But the special effects were really great.
Mom got sick on Sunday too... she had some kind of bug. She's more or less OK now though I think.
Steve put the Mail through my door on Sunday when I was away... then on Monday night I got a text from him saying had I got it... I had meant to email him from work on Monday but I was too busy and then I felt bad that I hadn't so I texted him and sent him an email from home, late.
Last week sometime I emailed the Machine to ask if he got the text I sent him on his birthday... because I didn't want him to think I'd forgotten it... he sent a really short email back to say 'yes' and that he's really busy. << Obviously he doesn't want to be in contact any more, which suits me fine. Bastard. Well actually he's not a bastard really. It was me who treated him badly. But I still think it's childish to fall out over such a thing. It makes me feel sad for him because he has lost a friend... and when he feels lonely he could always call or email me, and now he won't any more so he can sit there and drink instead... <<... It just seems so stupid, all of it. Like cutting off your nose to spite your face.
I'm glad to be rid of him, even if it does feel kind of weird. Like a bereavement, almost; like when some really irritating old relative dies and you feel glad they are gone but there's still a strange feeling there - not sadness exactly but more like emptiness because you know you'll never see them or talk to them again. Not that you want to, but that feeling that you can't, even if you did want to.
I took red roses and a Christmas wreath to my father's grave on Sunday - yesterday was his birthday. I feel like I need to make a gesture to say 'thank you'... even though I don't feel at all as though a grave is a place where someone is any more... it's the least I can do to show respect and thanks.
Did I mention having learned the katakana? Wheee! ^_^
