So my family and I are thinking about heading to Europe this summer for two weeks, but we still need to think about where exactly we want to go.
England is a definite, and I think we're still debating on a second country, mostly France and Italy.
But we're open to all countries and places to go, so here's where I come to the internet.

If you're living in Europe or have been to a European country before, please tell me all about it!
Give me your experience visiting or living there, and maybe even places of interest as well, I want to know what it's like and could really use the help planning a neat trip.
Feel free to leave a comment or PM works as well.

Any help at all is much appreciated, thank you guys so much! <3

I can't believe this but...
I totally forgot my GACKTiversary was last month.

(((((((((((( ;°Д°))))))))))))))

Wh-Wh.... Where did the time go? щ(゜ロ゜щ)

GACKT-sama...... I'M SORRYYYYYYYYYYYY 。ﾟ(ﾟﾉД｀ﾟ)ﾟ｡

I feel like I'm stuck between two different sides of myself - who I was and who I will be.
Things I used to enjoy or do seem annoying or boring, and things I had no interest in or ignored now seem appealing and exciting.
It's a strange realization.
It's also a bit scary.

For example, I don't feel like I'm in the Gackt fandom anymore.
Not saying I dislike him or his music, or the fans or anything that has happened for the past few months, I still love all of that.
And I'm not saying I won't talk to people about him or stop joking around or rolling my eyes at his silly comments or sigh when he does something brilliant.
It's more along the lines of.... I don't feel the need to surround myself with him all the time.
Or know what he's doing 24/7.
It's probably just a habit I picked up from spending more time on my studies than studying him (eheh~), but I don't know...
Maybe he was my escape for so many years and now that I'm finally free, I just want to focus on me.
Let myself be selfish for once, y'know?

There's just so much to do out there, so much to see and explore and experience..
I've gotta live while I can, and if that means I have to let go of a few of the things that I used to do all the time, then so be it.
Besides, I'm sure he'll pull me back in when he really needs to.
I've got to figure out my own path for a little while.

So I just got got back with mom from my first concert in over a year, oh my....
I suppose it's a good thing that I have more interests in music than just JRock, but man I was really deprived of stuff last year lol.
Anyway I broke the dry spell from my concert goings and went to see Pentatonix!
If you don't know who that is, allow me to introduce this magnificent group~

Pentatonix is a five member acapella group, who came together to compete in an acapella competition called The Sing-Off here in the states (which sadly has been cancelled but it showcased a lot of great talent). They won the season that they competed in, and have since gone on tours and made their own music as well as producing popular covers of some well-known music of today and classics as well.
The main appeal for this group is that their arrangements give a fresh sound to well-known songs and that there's only five voices to work with - you can easily pin-point who is singing what in every song.

The concert was as every bit of awesome as I've come to expect from watching them on the show and their covers, so all I can really say is that I want more haha~!
Check them out if you have the time, and if you're in the U.S. check to see if they'll be heading your way soon!
The first video is a compilation of their performances on The Sing-Off, and the rest come from their YouTube Channel.
