Sailor Jupiter was the best one, so obviously that's why they used the hair.

Why has elegance found so little following? Elegance has the disadvantage that hard work is needed to achieve it and a good education to appreciate it. - Edsger Wybe Dijkstra

Any state, entity, or ideology becomes obsolete when it stockpiles the wrong weapons: when it captures territories, but not minds; when it enslaves millions, but convinces nobody. When it is naked, yet puts on armor and calls it faith, while in the Eyes of God it has no faith at all. Any state, any entity, any ideology that fails to recognize the worth, the dignity, the rights of Man...that state is obsolete."

Wait, what? No way, I had a very manly crush on Sailor Mercury so obviously everyone should be dressed like Ami. :p

No mind to think. No will to break. No voice to cry suffering.

Q14. You absolutely will not:


1. Sit in an airplane circling in a holding pattern for two hours
2. Admit that you were ever turned on by a comic book character ✔
3. Walk through the desert for a week
4. Do software development

Civilization, in fact, grows more and more maudlin and hysterical; especially under democracy it tends to degenerate into a mere combat of crazes; the whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, most of them imaginary. - H.L. Mencken

This isn't as funny in a laugh out loud way as Valhalleluja or And Then I Noticed That She Was A Gargoyle but it's the most spot on (power/true) metal parody of them so far. :p

Fire in the sky! ;)

It's a lot less embarrassing than the only metal I like, which is just...silly, fluffy video game/television stuff from a girl who's not even a metal artist and who doesn't even remotely try to sing like she's doing metal (...which is I guess why I like it, since I can't ever stand metal-ized vocals - I'll take sickly sweet and soft metal, thank you very much). At least those girls are sort of acting like they're doing metal.

That and Radio Disney, of course, :p:

How I have existed fills me with horror. For I have failed in everything - spelling, arithmetic, riding, tennis, golf; dancing, singing, acting; wife, mistress, whore, friend. Even cooking. And I do not excuse myself with the usual escape of 'not trying'. I tried with all my heart.

In my dreams, I am not crippled. In my dreams, I dance.

It's been too long since I've posted some Moonspell:

I probably linked that song three times already, and got no reactions. Guess this one won't be any different. 😃

That sounds like Dragonforce, just with more girls.

Which means I approve.

Wait, Dragonforce aren't all girls ?
