today is monday. i have slept a total of 1 hour and 30 minutes. 

i had dropped a class, to replace it with another class, and for an even worse schedule. 3 classes back to back! 8am until 2pm! no breaks!
i already have 8am everyday..... i am scared!

i am in class as i am typing this. this course is about southeast asia. i feel like a machine without fuel. 
we have been assigned two readings for next week already.. how is it this intense and it's only the second week?

どうしよう?

my first class of the day was japanese, in which i forgot to do my homework -- a mini-presentation. my partner had done it but he did not format it properly, and i did not have his contact beforehand. oh well... it wasn't a serious one, just an in-class activity. 

i started wearing light makeup to classes. just karacon and eye makeup and lip tint/gloss and powder on top of sunscreen. i want to be pretty.
i lost weight and can now fit into my mom's old bootcut denim.

tomorrow i will start my second year of university. i am worried about leaving home again each week because of family troubles. and i am not ready yet!

i registered for a heavy course load and i don't know if i can handle it or if i should drop 1 course so that i can maintain my nice gpa.. i might do that. i hate money

let's try this again. it gets tiresome trying to keep a consistent posting streak up, i find it much easier to ramble in bursts. it is what it is.

i've been at a bit of an impasse with morihime. we've already scrapped many different iterations of our third record and i'm not sure where to go.

maybe we'll up the drama.

don't stop music in this night

i swore to Makoto on new year's eve that i wouldn't open a DAW or touch a notebook until at least march.

i lied.

it’s 2 AM and i'm sitting on the floor with my SG unplugged, quietly tapping out riffs so i don't wake up the entire building. there’s this weird sickness where the second you finish one giant thing, your brain immediately starts itching to do it again, like you haven't proved whatever point you were trying to make.

we have some crazy ideas bouncing around for what comes next. maybe live shows eventually, maybe burning everything down and taking over the world, who knows.

don't sleep on us.

...oh, and tomorrow's my birthday. happy birthday me.

woke up today and the record has been out in the wild for a whole week. it feels like you spend over a year holding your breath underwater and then suddenly someone drags you onto the dock by your collar and tells you to breathe normally. it’s disorienting.

my inbox is a mess of people telling me which songs made them cry and other people telling me the mix is too harsh. honestly? good. i’d rather you hate it passionately than find it boring.

new year, same bad habits. ate cold leftover pizza at four in the afternoon and played guitar along to old records until my fingers remembered how to play without thinking about tracking errors.

thanks to everyone who picked it up. we're not going away anytime soon.

and just like that, it's into the world.

it’s midnight. links are live. sixteen months of fighting, ruined sleep schedules, screaming until our throats bled, and wondering if any of this was actually going to work. and now it’s just out there.

whatever happens next doesn't matter, it's out of my hands and in yours. blast it in your car, yell the words in the streets, hate it, break your speakers with it. merry christmas.

this week's magical stage belongs to you now.

mixing stage. which means sitting in a dark room listening to the same three-second vocal run two hundred times until words stop making sense. one minute i think it’s the greatest thing we’ve ever touched, the next minute i want to throw the hard drive out the window.

mastering is set for next month. tracking is officially done. i don't know whether to scream or throw a party. this thing took everything out of us, but when it hits the right way, it genuinely feels bulletproof.

here’s a snippet of magical girl before the final master gets stamped on it:

sweating through my shirt on the floor. summer is a total scam invented by people who suck.

we threw out two full songs yesterday and replaced them with something twice as fast. Makoto told me i'm completely out of my mind, but five minutes later we were both jumping around the room like idiots screaming the gang vocals into a single mic. the record is about 80% there.

i think about quitting every tuesday, and then wednesday hits and we write a hook so big it pisses me off.

sending my love from the other side.

three in the morning and my ears are totally shot, but i don't even care right now. cut a super rough bounce of the heaviest song on the tracklist just to see how it felt blasting in the car. the chorus hits like a brick to the face.

i love this stupid band sometimes.

threw a 60-second clip up here before we polish all the dirt off it:

listen to it with your headphones turned all the way up.

i haven’t left my room in four days except to argue with the corner store cashier about whether they discontinued the only iced coffee that keeps my brain functioning.

the new songs are getting weirder. they sound faster, like running away from a bullet train. i keep re-writing verses because every time i listen back i feel ill. if we don’t wrap up tracking soon my computer is going to explode.

my songs know what you did in the dark.

love/hate,

orihime

the sound of me hitting a brick wall

sometimes you build a wall of sound just to see if it crushes you. we spent forty-eight hours straight tracking guitars until my fingers felt like hamburger meat. Makoto fell asleep on the mixing desk again. i threw a half-empty monster at the wall because the bridge in track 4 felt like an insult to my entire life.

i have no idea what to tell people when they ask how the record sounds. i have no idea what to tell people when they think they know how the record sounds. it is what it is!

heading out to buy cheap melon pan and stare at a ceiling fan.

... oh, yes, we also have a website up now. please check out our page at morihime dot com

here's the new lyrics... bits and pieces anyway. i feel like i should explain them but i find they speak for themselves.

ROMANCE DAWN
romantic colours in the sky, unique inspiration you could find; tell me why oh tell me why does your protagonist look like me? can't you see, can't you see, you're the one inside my dreams? i turn a page, just to see, a brand new sketch of you and me; we could see, we could see, the manga romance of our dreams, you and me, can't you see, you're the one that i adore?

MAGICAL GIRL
would you say, on that day? i fell for you harder in some brand new way, what would you say on this week's magical stage?

SYMPHONY OF FALLEN ROSES
there's a symphony of fallen roses awakening inside, i just wanna see your sweetest side. no matter what I do, I couldn't bring myself closer to you; i guess that it's fair you'd toss me aside

okaaaaayyy

i guess maybe i don't have a lot to say at the moment, here we are.

in a little bit today i'm going to post the lyrics to three new songs. they are of a bit of a different nature.

well. this week has been pretty uneventful. i was supposed to go out and spend it with my friends. that didn't happen. i am pretty depressed about it. chalk up another missed opportunity- we're working on a new record currently and i'm pretty stoked, it's heavier, better, louder, noisier, what have you... maybe it's just more awesome.

love you, hate me, all the same

so this is the start.
here it goes.

this should turn out to be a documentation of the life of morihime and our music. or just whatever i do with my time; i'll update it from the road and what not. or maybe it will be just a big waste of time- we'll see.

i feel like i should do a first post type thing. unfortunately i can't think of anything so bright or witty.

i'm going to get curry right now- i will do a real post later on...

welcome to four ruined lives.

love- orihime
