You know you're obsessed with J-rock/visual kei when....

[Eccezionale]

204. After your project on the history of jrock a year ago, when it came time for you friend to do her timeline project, you got her to do one on hide and she got 48 out of 40 on her project.

205. You have plotted, in detail, how you are going to sneek into Kaoru's (Dir en grey) room at night and shave off his chin fuzz without him noticing before you can escape.

206. You went into HotTopic and bought anything jrock you could find, even if it made you mad that it was in there in the first place. (I have the Dir en grey shirt, the US release of Withering to Death, and an Issue of Cure)

207. You got excited when you heard that you can now subscribe to jrock magazine through CDJapan and then cried when you found out it was $285 for a year of anything.

208. You freaked out when you found a cool looking band in Cure and then went and got all their music, got depressed because they're brand new and only have 2 singles. Then got depressed because it's almost impossible to find pictures of them, then went crazy and went and got all the picture you could (see part of my collection HERE - the band is 176BIZ)

209. When you go on your three week exchange trip to Japan, you spend your time with your host sister talking about jrock and looking at magazines and such and then you glomp her when she pulls out all her Gothic Lolita clothes to show you

210. After leaving your host family, and go out exploreing Japan, you find a small music store called Magical square and take a picture of it because the front of it is covered in a giant poster of Gazette.

211. You scare the workers inside of said music store by being the only crazy white fangirl in there who buys 2 magazines and 2 CD's

212. You crack up laughing in Kyoto when you see that all the omiyage shops are called Kyomiyage shops there and you think to yourself, "sure, I'd love to buy myself a Kyo"

213. You spend a night at the hotel in Tokyo going off on your friend because they don't believe you when you try to tell them that you think you found Shinya in the supermarket. Yes, he could have just been someone who looked exactly like him, but it could have been him right?

214. You freak out in Harajuku because you found a store that only sells Gazette related items

215. You are now the proud owner of an X Japan zippo lighter, and you don't even smoke XP

216. Several months after your return from Japan, you found out it really was Shinya in that supermarket and you continuosly beat yourself up because you were to stupid to do anything while you were there.
