Welcome to Gaia! ::

Sweet!!~ heart

Alright, yo yo yo, everyone! This is Jack Ashcraft, and I’m here interviewing the breakout hit band, Hypnotic Distortion! With their most recent CD, Unchained Illusions, selling two million copies in a week, they’re certifiably celebrities! Well, the band members are, but we’re going to be talking to all the people who work with the band, not just the actual musicians. This will be an ongoing interview, and we’ll post an interview with each person when we can, so make sure to support us and check out our website, double-you double-you double-you dot generic brand music website dot com! Anyway, we’re here with our first interviewee, Angela Shinoda!

Jack: Greetings, Angela!

Angela: Yo!

Jack: Thanks for letting us interview you.

Angela: No problem. We aren’t doing anything for the moment, so I didn’t see a reason not to.

Jack: Still! You sold 2 mil in your first week in worldwide sales, and that doesn’t take into the fact the 6 mill following the rest of the month! You’re going to sell 10 mil of this CD by the end of this month, which is huge, especially for a band that’s only on their third CD. Do you have any idea how you became so popular?

Angela: We try and write and play the songs from our own perspectives. We don’t branch out into different territories of music unless we’re sure we can do well at it. We also force the studio exec bastards to let us put everything we want into the songs. They don’t like that some of the time, but the sales figures speak for themselves, don’t they? Anyway, in our newest album, Unchained Illusions, we made it focus on one specific instrument or voice at a time. Each person in our band got two songs they could do whatever they wanted with, and we all worked together to make that work and sound like how we all wanted. We made what we wanted, not what anyone else wanted, and that is what puts heart and soul into---

Jack: Great, boring, let’s move on!

Angela: I wasn’t---

Jack: Give us a profile of yourself. A general description, if you will.

Angela: Damn, fine, ignore what I was saying, you ******** a*****e. I’m a songwriter for the band, along with lead and rhythm guitarist. I’m 5 foot 6, and was born in Mie, Japan. That would mean every single japaophile loves me, and it kinda irks me a tiny wee bit. I mean, Goddamn, won’t you people leave me alone? I like meeting you guys, but the time you wanted to make me sign your nipples was the last---

Jack: I take it you get distracted easily.

Angela: Uh… Sorta. Focusing isn’t something I bother with.

Jack: Anyway, you’re giving off a pretty negative vibe for these fanboys. What gives? You’re usually so energetic on stage, waving to the crowd, smiling, blowing kisses and all that.

Angela: Signing nipples. Think about it, dumbass. *laughs* Geez, these weren’t just some run-of-the-mill fans, either. They told me, and I remember EXACTLY, they asked me “can you sign my boobs!? Please, Angie, we love you like I love your posters!” That’s what I see in horror movies, not fanboys.

Jack: I fear I may not be able to sleep tonight… Anyway, what are your favorite clothing items? Anything in particular?

Angela: I love black jeans and boots, although I do wear sneakers. Jackets are wicked, but I always wear something underneath. Tried a bikini top once with a jacket, and it felt like I was rubbing my chest against a towel. I don’t think I’m allowed to say anymore.

Jack: Damn! Why not!?”

Angela: It might get inappropriate.

Jack: But, you cussed quite a bit back---

Angela: Shut the ******** up.

Jack:…

Angela:..

Jack: Right…

Angela: I tried wearing a kimono to a concert to promote our newest CD. It felt like being home again, come to think of it…

Jack: Oh, yeah, I saw that, too. It was amazing! It had pink cherry blossoms and skulls all over it! An odd combination, but it worked wonders while you played guitar. It mesmerized me, personally. What made you think of it.

Angela: Think back when I said we could each make our own songs. Then you interrupted, you a**. I felt like making a Japanese style song, and in order to do that, I wore a kimono to the concert for the opening, than I took it off with clothes underneath. The crowd was really excited, but I did it mainly because it… Iunno, it felt right.

Jack: Wow. Great reason.

Angela: I hope your a** gets blown out.

Jack: Are you aware that you’ve been smiling the whole time?

Angela: I enjoy life. Smiling is a far better alternative to frowning, because frowning makes everyone else unhappy, and unhappiness isn’t fun. I mean, if one member of our band is unhappy, everyone is unhappy, and---

Jack: Rambling again.

Angela: You’re being a douche.

Jack: Anyway, What do you like and dislike?

Angela: Booze. Love that s**t. Video games are good, as long as they’re not some run-of-the-mill crap or has a bunch of little 8-year-olds calling me a shotgun whore. I teabag their corpses afterwards, though. Dancing and live shows, too. Guitar solos really get me going, though. I always have to ask to put those into a song, but then we hear it and we all think I drank too much while asking. Yeah, booze is awesome. *Laughs*

Jack: Please tell me you don’t drive. Please, please tell me you---

Angela: I don’t. I don’t even have a license, dumbass. Anyway, I hate fish, large areas of water, slow drivers, and---

Jack: WHOA WHOA WHOA. You’re Japanese, right?

Angela: You’re writing this down. Look it up, ya dumbass! *Laughs*

Jack: You said that, but you don’t like Fish!

Angela: … Oh, dammit, you better not be implying anything.

Jack: … No, no, not anymore, no.

Angela: … You ********: Why do you cuss so much. You’re kind, and you’re treating me pretty well, and you laugh a lot, but, geez, you cuss like my co-hosts mother after finding out her son was gay. Why is that?

Angela: I’m sorry. Seriously, I am. I do it sorta subconsciously. I don’t think about it too much. I tried stopping before, but it ruined a few performances. So, hey, I curse whenever the hell I want, but don’t think badly of me for it, bitches! *Laughs*

Jack… Uh, what did you do before the band started?

Angela: I was a bartender at some club. I sang pretty well, so I got some good tips. It helped that I could hold my own when it came to the drinking contests. *Giggles*

Jack: A bartender is nothing without a knowledge of drinks.

Angela: Damn straight! *Laughs*

Jack: Going back a moment, you said you didn’t like slow drivers and water. Any reason?

Angela: Being stuck on a bridge for three hours with water a couple hundred feet below you can scare the living s**t out of you, you know?

Jack: Seems accurate. Anything else you wanna say before this interview is over?

Angela: No, I am NOT signing your nipples. Get over it.

Jack… Right. Tune in next time, guys, for another awesome interview with a member of Hypnotic Distortion!

Angela: I mean, geez, they aren’t even pretty. I couldn’t tell if you were a male or a female. You had breasts, but a moustache. I didn’t want to take any chances, but---

Jack: Turn off the camera. Please. Now.
-------------------------

Tell me what you think. I'm not too pleased with it, and I might do it over. Sorry about that. crying

Well, if you're pleased with it, I won't change it. I was just really unsure because I did all of that at once.

Also, am I the only one that can't access the Daily Chance? It's frustrating. -_-;

Good to know you like it. I'll do more when I can, but as I said, I have writing to do for other people on another forum. >_>;

The Daily Chance works for me... o.O

Hey, like I've said before, take your time!!~ heart

Yay for Daily Chance!!~ *secretly hates daily chance* xp

15-Part!?! *totally loves you* heart

You should open a writing shop!! You'd get tons of gold! xD!

The pricing and how popular it would be makes me wonder, though... Hoe much should I make it cost? I ain't too sure about that.

Maybe I'll put up a shop this weekend. Not sure. stare

They said a gold a word, but I'm not so sure...

Maybe I'll ask again. Maybe.

Do I have your permission to post your story, Orielle? Oh, and you too, Mignion. So I can show some variety. xp
