( my suit is this-a-ways )( mmmmmhm. )
he's this awesome older somalian guy who's super cheerful and easy-going. i've see him around before but he buzzed my apartment not because the package didn't fit in my mailbox, but just to say hi. so we chatted for like 5 minutes and i made a new friend. XD
BAHAHAH.
*rips open single and photobook*
particularly ep. 7.
i also now want to see season 1.
that is all.
more of Aiba-chan's INSANE recycle-tenpura = insanity, always.
HATORI-SAN RAPS AND IT'S SOOOOOOOO CUTE! :D oh gaaaah so cute!!! he's got like the CUTEST RAP EVAR. He does a bit of A.Ra.Shi. :D (Hatori-san being the Zoom In announcer who's working with Sho on the eco-touch thing, and worked with them on a few projects from a long time ago, and is a huge fan. :D YAYY, HATORI~!) and Matsujun's WORM, for the first time in kind of a while. (we were just talking about that this weekend, my fellow fangirls.) anyway. great episode! :DDD can't wait to d/l and watch the full thing again.
it's been such a fun couple of days lately ^^ I needed that... I'm feeling a lot more energized and I'm going to start making an effort to be more positive (it's working already~~~). Friends, having fun, and Arashi, and a smattering of J-drama will cure ANYTHING, I swear. :D I want to watch more Mei-chan now, Mizushima is super NOM NOM.
Why Hatori-san is awesome: :DDDDD
oh and somehow, Keyhole must have updated their servers or I don't know, SOMETHING, because 1000+ people were watching Shukudai-kun alone (O_________O) and I still got great audio and video, which like never happens... o_O. YAY.
PS SOB I WISH I COULD AFFORD THE NEW SIN
SO MANY SINGLES THOUGHHHHHH lkdflk. prediction: album release after concert tour, around November, in honor of 10-year-anniversary. Likely with a best-of release as well? 8D
they are doing SUCH a great job of doing it up for the 10-year anniversary mark. It's been like a party all year. 8D
tomorrow is ARASHI PARTY DAY. (today?) :DDDDD
i'm excited. i'm planning everything i'll cook. :D this is yay because i live by myself and don't usually have an excuse to actually cook. i never actually cook for myself. and i love parties~~~~!!
it seems we will play an Aiba Sugoroku board game. :D And the newspaper-around-the-ankles game. I am thinking I may make a set of Aiba Karuta cards... in English of course. ;D And I think we HAVE to play the Nya-nya-nya Cat & Dog charades game :D :D :D
anyway. EXCITING.
i just watched Arashi's appearance on last week's music station - had not seen any performances of Crazy Moon before - and then I watched the PV too....
and yes, on the one hand it would be nice if they did some more dorky PVs again (though at least they're always, always dorky on their shows~~~)
but
bottom line?
ten year they have been doing this...
and they're seriously HOTTER THAN EVER.
i was like fanning myself.
i mean, srsly. everyone has different tastes so of course some people won't get it, but to me they are THE best, SO HOT. OMG.
i have to say, even though i'm a little, "HOW MANY MORE NEW HALF SPECIALS CAN THERE BEEEEEE," from the start i've thought it's really cool the way they handle a potentially sensitive topic like that. and make it fun! ♥ i dunno. i'm generally struck with how they always treat the guests with such respect, and never look down at them or anything. which is how it should be, but some people might not be so cool with it. sasuga, arashi. ♥ who knows, maybe it is just tv, but i'm left with the impression that anybody could talk to Arashi and recieve the same level of care and respect. THAT is why they are special ♥
and apparently Ohno
preview for next week's Himitsu looks fun & different~ :3
i declare my lj to henceforth be alive and well!
must work on updating my format & userpics though... :X
thing 1: flailing with people in rl is EPIC fun.
thing 2: apparently i'm leaving for my parents' tomorrow... still need to pack. >.<
thing 3: this is maybe just the weird hip-hop bent in me rearing its head, but if anybody likes awesome hip-hop/jazz/reggae combinations, i highly recommend you look up Miss Monday... i just started listening to her albums "&I" and "Love and the Light" and i'm suuuuuuuper hooked.
aaaah, summer.
:D
Sensei sent out an email to third years from a customer service place in the Cities looking for someone who speaks English & Japanese. Job opportunity. Sensei sent this email out to third years. Is third year a capable level!? I don't know. The place would specifically LIKE people from the ALL department. I want to apply but I'm terrified. I probably will apply anyway later today after brushing up my resume and stuff a bit? I might ask Sensei about it and see what she was thinking or if I could ask her for a suisenjou. Maybe I will try her office hours later today. I'm terrified, does she really think this is something for third years? this is MUZUKASHII. Dammit..... no..... I want to but I'm terrified......
BUT
THREE QUICK NOTES.
1.( HAPPY BIRTHDAY AIBA!! )
2. ( I just saw an interview with the Backstreet Boys... )
3. ( Been re-watching Hana Yori Dango... this time with my mom. )
everyone, have a lovely remainder of the holiday season! if you celebrate Christmas i hope the next few days are wonderful for you, and if you don't celebrate i hope the next few days are wonderful for you! remember, holidays are not not about the stuff you get but the people you get it from and who you spend the time with. i'm reminding myself of this too lately...
i sort of crave soy "egg" nog. if the roads don't totally suck tomorrow... perhaps i will run a little errand for that. :D
and everyone, have a WONDERFUL! New Year. :D I'm super excited for that. I'm going to make mochi and call up some friends and spend the day lazing about and drinking tea. ♥ I can't wait for the start of a new year!!
I feel like I'm really close. I can sort of mimic it when I'm watching Time or whatnot.
I've got the lyrics pretty much. I've got the rap in my own awkward way (it's super fun omgslkdjflskd).
I've got some of the furi.
But I need to get the DANCE. D:<
and other than that...
I'm going to sit around, live on the internet, and watch dramas.
and catch up on all the stuff I feel like passed right by me over the past 15 weeks. .___.
it's going to ROCK.
first I need to get through finals on Friday and Monday... but whatever, I'll survive somehow.
(notice how I'm NOT studying at the moment.)
i just watched the shukudai-kun okane ga nai special ♥ ♥ ♥
aiba might be the most ridiculous person to ever exist. i love his sense of humor. he is a genius in that regard. he is brilliant at being ridiculous, at coming up with the most bizarre, entertaining things and coaxing people into them and making everything fun. ♥
it's so cute.
aslkdjf;alksdj;fjasd
keysmashhhhh
ARASHI ILU AND I WANT TO WATCH ALL OF YOUR SHOWS BUT.
as i'm trying to catch up on my dosage of himitsu-chan, i find it's very difficult for me to watch the one about people who weigh like three hundred kilograms. D:
asdjf;laskdj
ugh ugh ugh
WHY? whose idea was it? \( 'A')/ so painful to watch, blech.
blechhhhhhhhhh
alskjd;lkfj;
(painful for so many reasons... note how the footage they showed of heavy people failing was largely... americans... looked like... mostly white at least... urgh... like, 'oh, yeah, i live in that country'... urhg... blech... and ugh, just... some things i do not want to see. orz)
i am THAT student.
(we ARE THOSE people.)
i am that student, the one the rest of the class wonders about.
"Is she even IN this class? why doesn't she ever show up? what is she thinking? what does she do with her time? she's really strange."
i am the student the teacher just sighs and shakes their head about. "No hope for that one, they barely even.... just... no."
the one the mean teachers don't like, and the nice teachers only ask easy questions.
and yet still.
i'm aware of this but with two weeks left in the semester i'm quite resigned.
having been "the good student" for MOST of my life with occasional bursts of rebellion on the fringes, it's definitely been interesting to glimpse life from the perspective of the the bad student. (note: by this i do NOT mean, the good student who complains about what a bad student they are because OMG 92.7 it's an A MINUS just BARELY SHORT OF AN A *becomes an hero* - no, i literally AM the bad student. Bad Student.) actually i have an idea for an experiment *dons Aiba's jacket* IT WILL BE SUPER FUN GUYS. i am testing the limits of, within the 'bad student' realm, JUST HOW BAD I CAN BE. i was a little shocked with how miserable all of my classes were this semester, so having discovered new depths of how bad a class can be, now i will investigate how bad a student can be.
good thing i got this experience (brush with death) with irrelevant classes.
my schedule next semester looks SO different. if i'm here, that is.
my grades in japanese and korean, of course, soar by unaffected. go figure.
Right now:
*If I feel like killing time, take back those clothes? I want to do that before I leave for thanksgiving... but time... time... I just don't have that much of it. Wednesday maybe?
whoooooooooooooooooo.
how is it i always have SUCH grand plans and yet nothing ever gets done? URGH. i try but apparently.... argh.
so the Time con dvd is on my tv right now.
and may I just say.
I'm DYING to go to a con. and see them in person. and bask in the ULTIMATE FESTIVAL OF GAY that is an Arashi live.
SPARKLY COSTUMES AND FEATHERS AND GAUDY CLASHING COLORS. HUGE NEON-LIGHTED PLATFORMS, RIDICULOUS STAGE PROPS, LOVELY GAY MUSIC AND INCREDIBLY RIDICULOUS DANCING. I LOVE IT SO. SO. MUCH. IT HURTS I LOVE IT SO. WANT TO GO~
gah I love the cult of Arashi. (don't we all?)
RAKKI RAKKI BABY SHIGOTO WA RASUTO NO OH MAI GURUUBU~ SHAKA SHAKA BABY KYOU MO TANOSHII~~
can I just climb up to the roof of my building right now and SCREAM that at the top of my lungs?
(haahaa apparently my voice is not dead enough from yesterday's karaoke yet. x3 )
gahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. love. ♥
yeah A-RA-SHI! A-RA-SHI! MOTTO A-RA-SHI!
it's nearly absurd just how HAPPY and EXCITED watching the Time con makes me. But then if you're reading this you probably know how it feels. so it's okay. ♥
I want to the DVDs for Dream-A-Live to come out (and no complaining that it won't be as good as Time con! D: Arashi Gay is Arashi Gay! and that is ♥ ). I can't wait. I need more con gay. ;o;
i feel like with thanksgiving break practically two days away
(not counting weekend, m&tu, because i only have one class on wednesday anyway and i'm betting it'll be cancelled)
i have SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO much to do
and i have a foreboding feeling it won't get done. xD
oh well.
i think truthfully i only have a few things to get doneeeeeeeeeeeee
oh shit never mind japanese project due on monday. revisions and stuff. orz orz orz
okay.
outside of my japanese project i only have a few things that need to be taken care of by tuesday
but thanksgiving weekend will be full of WORK WORK WORK. ;_;
and i want it to be full of PLAY PLAY PLAY.
but that's not possible. orz
rawr. i had an idea for a crack mini-series so i just wrote. it may be crap though. xD oh well, too late~~~
no seriously.
look at that fricking clock. too late.
anyhoo, this is SUPER rambly. just the way i wrote it is super rambly and pointless. i guess i'm into that kind of thing. xD
i will try to make the next two or so (i think maybe i will write something like 3-5 parts?) more organised. OTZ
i feel like i should say more to apologize for the nightmare this is but instead i will just give it to you. xD
( read read readddddd or don't. )
apparently i'm either very very active or very very dead, lol. online that is. in real life i haven't done the death thing yet so who knows. xD
short little story. it started as mostly unconnected drabble-y things that intertwined themselves at some point. so the beginning is really rough imo but ohhhhhhhhhh well. currently self-beta'd-ish. i'm sure i will be looking still more closely and fixing typos and such in the next day or so.
i'm not really sure why i decided to write this... because i wanted to procrastinate on my homework and get more sakuraiba fluff? hahaha i was so distraught when i realied how much time had passed.... D: i don't feel like it's particularly inspired but maybe some other sakuraiba fan will enjoy it. :D so, douzo~
off to not do homework and watch more G no Arashi~!!! ♥;
and yes, i really don't have a more creative name... OTZ
i don't USUALLY it around thinking, aw damn, i'd really love some peanut butter. but come on, it's not like frodo sat around thinkiing, i'd really like the one ring. not until he had it.
likewise, once peanut butter invades my home i'm helpless to its charm.
"hm. i think i will have an apple. WITH LIKE HALF A CUP OF PEANUT BUTTER. MMMM PROTEIN."
ahahahahah. something like that. i feel like i just ate a thousand calories of peanut butter. orz i probably did.
if i get off work early enough tonight (it's always quiet on weeknights, so i probably will) i must go to the gym even though the trek there is freezing. this is ridiculous. i feel like such a cow in the winter, all i want to do is stay home, drink hot chocolate and soup, and sleep. BAD.
