Oh Lordy..

Ok, I have an issue here. I was going to post it in the venting section, but you only have friends, family, and school.. And this has nothing to do with any of those.

I am an anime fan, and I like all things Japanese. However, I don't listen to Utada Hikaru, Ayumi Hamasaki, Gackt, all those popular vocalists and such. Well, my friend made me listen to Hyde and I absolutely adore his music and his voice. The issue here is I hate rabid squealing fangirls.. They annoy me with their "OMGHYDEILOVEYOUFOREVER!" I feel like I am turning into one because I love Hyde's music, it's amazing.. and as an added bonus, he really is very attractive.

I am turning into someone I dislike!

perhaps you can think half way, instead of a dizzy rabid fangirl, you're a mellowed happy fangirl...
i'm not sure if thats helpful but its all i can think of...

Hmm. I don't think you have to listen to Ayu or Hikaru to be someone who likes everything Japanese. It's the same with anime - you don't have to watch an anime from the 80's, or one that's practically whacked up to like everything that anime has to offer.

And, if you're not going (le quote) "OMGHYDEILOVEYOUFOREVER!" (le unquote), then you're not becoming a hyperactive fangirl, or at least not in my eyes. You can absolutely adore Hyde and his music, you could probably become sort-of obsessed to a point, without going too overboard. Sticking up posters of him and looking at them, playing his songs over and over again, and constantly Googling or Yahooing or MSN-Searching him doesn't make you someone who always goes, "OMG did you hear his new song! I've just downloaded it! EEEE! And I'm going to buy it online too! EEEEE! WHAT?! There's a limited edition version of the single too?! EEEEE OMG, SEE YOU LATER, I'M GOING TO YESASIA.COM!"

And if you did end up becoming someone like that, you might not mind. And if you do, you'd more likely than not be able to control yourself whenever you see the name "Hyde", even if you see it after 'Dr. Jekyll & Mr. --'. And if you really disliked becoming a vapid fangirl, you can always pick up a side-hobby to distract yourself from him!

*Goes to Google "Hyde".*

Later Edit: I'll move this to the venting section in it's own sub-board as soon as I figure it out. ^-^;

LOL! Well, that definitely made me laugh. And Acacia, I think you're right. Thanks for that one. Lol.

By the way, looking up Hyde on youtube and getting that Jekyll & Hyde crap is ANNOYING!!!! Lol.

It makes me feel happy to know I was one of the people who directly helped another. Lol.

And methinks I have just successfully moved this to the General Venting area!
