    Ah! On a less humiliating note, I’m really happy with how my latest cover is progressing! I wasn’t sure about it at first, but the further along I go, the more confident and certain I am.

    Of course, I’m only halfway through it, so I’m trying not to jinx it, heh. But I’ve SO missed working with Vocaloid.

    Holy crap, I'm so happy. I mentioned a few months ago that I've been kinda numb; I was listening to an album that normally makes me feel all kinds of things that I enjoy deeply, but I realized that, for the first time, I felt nothing. And up until tonight, that's how music's been for me. Just kinda there, a part of my life only because it's always been and it'd be weird not to have it after all this time.

    But I finally felt something again! It was brief, and it ended just as quickly as I realized it was happening, but while listening to Empire of the Clouds, I felt something (during this section, to be specific)! It was really nice, and I hope I feel it more soon.

    (...for reference, this song ALWAYS used to make me tear up, and tonight was the first time it's even made me feel anything in months. And I listen to it a lot.)

    Not feeling anything while listening to Maiden is probably what's thrown me off the most. I got a wild hair to listen to metal one day years ago and chose Hallowed Be Thy Name as my First True Metal Song, because it was always high on lists of best metal songs ever, and by the end I was in tears. I had an idea of what metal was supposed to sound like, and I never knew it could be so beautiful. When I saw them live for the first time, they performed it as an encore, and I sobbed the whole time. Their music always makes me feel pumped and happy and at peace with the whole world.

    Except... it hasn't lately. It's just music. And it's been devastating. It's been a small comfort because I can just throw on one of their albums and mindlessly sing along with every word, but until tonight, that's been the extent of it.

    So fun fact: when you set Gakupo's dynamics to 0, he still voices the note he's singing. It's annoying when you're trying to make him sing rapid stops one after another, but for a more ethereal sound? Good God, it's beautiful.

    I feel so guilty... Christmas will mark two years since I got him and I'm just now using him in full. He's so much fun!

    Holy crap. Y'all, I--

    I was able to salvage my V5 download; the serial is kaput, but my laptop's letting me run it as a trial. And. Oh my God. I am SO happy with it! It runs like butter on this laptop, and now that I've had significantly more experience with other synths, I'm able to appropriately appreciate it and adapt to it. I'm especially in love with the way vibrato works. It's easily my favorite vibrato input method in any synth I've ever used.

    I'm so happy, this is so wonderful :kanon_lili:

    Y'all remember that song about Miku luring Kaito into a forest and then eating his soul?

    Now listen to it in French. You're welcome.

    Dang, I haven't heard The Purple Forest in years, and yet I still remember how much it creeped me out when I first heard it as a teen.
    peaches2217
    Well, on a less needlessly whiny note, I've got all of my synths up and running on the new laptop! They're beautiful, and I'm so happy~ I'm gonna mess around with them tonight and get started on some projects! I've already noticed that Piapro loads MUCH faster than it did on my old laptop. Now to cross my fingers and hope V5 does the same...

    And now the tedious part: reinstalling all 108GB of vocalsynths. Yaaaaaaaaay.

    Hmm. I've discussed it briefly with Patuk, and if I can find someone to fix it fairly cheap, I could, in theory, use my old piece of crap laptop to run Windows XP, letting me use Meiko and eventually Kaito with greater ease... though I wonder if that's not a waste, as fixing it could also mean I could sell it and get some of my money back.

    girl i wanna get a pc or at least a seperate laptop just for synths/music stuff because the laptop i have now is nice but not made for it....
    but the thought of having to go through the work of reinstalling everything....eternal sadness


    congrats on the new laptop though :D!!!

    Ultimately, it only took me about two hours, and that was with breaks to watch my shows and such! Now I just gotta restart to get the Appends installed and get everything over into Piapro! So it's really not bad.
    peaches2217
    I already know the first cover I'm going to start on my new laptop! I don't wanna give too much away, but for how much I've gushed about how good Rin and Gakupo sound together, isn't it odd that I've never used them in a duet~?
    peaches2217
    My laptop's decided it once again doesn't want to turn on. I'm gonna monitor it just in case, but... God, I'm so happy my new one's on the way. (AND I got a free year-long protection plan since I got it on Black Friday! Here's hoping I don't need to use it...)
    peaches2217
    My laptop shipped out today! I'm one day closer to V5 and Miku NT! God I am READY

    What's been going on? I've been encountering so many rude people, outright assholes even. Is it the stress of the upcoming holidays? Whatever it is, it makes me sad and a little angry. It's unneccesary.

    Welp! At work, there's two full-service cashiers: me, and one of my favorite coworkers.

    Today is her last day. Which I just found out about five minutes ago. And until we get the new girl trained, I'm the only full-service cashier in the whole store. You know what that means: maxed-out hours until further notice!

    hhhhhhhhhhh... this will be great on the paycheck but horrible on... well, everything else.

    A few weeks ago, a woman ordered 500 prints. We have boxes specifically for orders between 200-500 pages; you CAN fit the max 500 in said box, but it takes a bit of wrestling. In the ensuing struggle, I accidentally tore one of the box flaps, since it’s made of flimsy cardboard. Oh well; it still held everything together, and there was no risk of the order being damaged or the box coming open.

    But it would’ve taken an act of God to convince the customer of that. Because of that one tear on her box, she demanded half-off on her $100 order, or a hefty coupon at the VERY least. I was able to placate her by getting her another box and transferring her order over (which, okay, I probably should have done anyway, but we were running low), but just to sweeten the deal and make sure she didn’t complain about me to my managers, I went ahead and gave her $10 off. She was okay after that, but still miffed it had happened in the first place.

    And until today, that was the most pissed-off I’d ever seen anyone get over a box.

    Ah, I’ll finally get to use V5! I’m gonna experiment when I get home and see if the jerk I gave it to gave up on it and it’ll let me activate it again... I considered getting a V3/4 starter so that I could get the discount, but when all is said and done I’d pay the exact same, if not more, and I considered asking around to see if anyone with an older editor not interested in V5 would let me use one of their codes, but, well... it wasn’t until Patuk pointed it out that I realized asking for people to trust me with their serials miiiiiiiight not be a good idea, heh. :yohioloid_lili: So if I can’t access my old purchase anymore, re-buying V5 will hurt a bit, but it’ll be SO worth it!

    I’ve been feeling oddly nostalgic for The WB, even though I never watched it and it went off air when I was nine... I’ve been watching bumpers and such, and I watched the final sign-off message and found myself tearing up. Over shows I never watched and stars I never cared about.

    I’m... genuinely unsure of where this came from.

    Wow, I grew up watching The WB. Animaniacs, Pinky and the Brain, and all of those cartoons after school. Then I watched Smallville, Charmed, One Tree Hill, and all those shows at night in middle/high school. I knew some of those shows were marketed towards a female audience, but I didn't care. Forgot about Buffy, Angel, Supernatural. What a quirky and unique network. Shoot, I might have to watch some of those shows again sometime for fun. I think my best friend is still a big Supernatural fan
