One with the teacups

...So I went to Shibuya today...

2009-11-07T12:46:22Z

o_o

Yes. That is a sparkly A. Yes, I am that lame.

Since I'm always talking about my phone and my obsession with phone charms...

Um. Yeah. xD I have 9 on there, but I actually own 10. The 10th one is a bell and it's pretty but it drives me insane. xD

More~

rofl rofl.

ALSO OH MY GOD.

I spent 8000 yen on this and I'm not sorry. I am so completely in love with this coat I could probably wear it in the summertime and not even care. It's so warm and soft inside and there's a hood and alsfhaslkfhalfshakfhalsf *_____________* We went up 8 stories to find a cheap version and that was the cheapest they had. XD SO I BORROWED A LITTLE MONEY AND BOUGHT IT AND I AM DELIGHTED I DID. *_______________________________*

JE has totally warped my sense of style, by the way. When spurious and I were wandering around, basically anything with fur, zippers, sparkles, and generally things that should have been atrocious were seriously considered. xDDD The theme of the day was "I should not like this, and yet..." XD

I also bought a bunch of Pin doujin. Yes. *_______________*

THAT LAST ONE IS THE MOST ADORABLE THING EVER. AS SOON AS I GET BACK TO AMERICA I AM SCANNING IT FOR YOU ALL BECAUSE IT IS SO CUTE. I was squealing and bouncing in the restaurant. alsfhalskfhalskfhsalkfashf

Tomorrow I'm going to this! I am excited. :D

EEEEEEEEEE

-Ow. Someday I will learn to pick the comfortable shoes.

-So um. I didn't actually see any JE boys, but I did see like, three vague lookalikes. There was one who I could have sworn up and down was him from afar, but I may have been too busy dancing on top of a chair with some other guy to go check it out. XD;;; Not that I didn't want to, but he was super nice and I felt guilty for basically wanting to go 'OH HEY THAT GUY OVER THERE LOOKS LIKE SOMEONE HOTTER THAN YOU SEE YA'. Especially because I already felt a little guilty that the entire reason I was up there in the first place was because he also looked a little like Jin xD (and he was cuter than the other lookalike). So I basically made up some excuse to go over and check it out, and though I can't say for sure, I'm pretty sure it wasn't him. I don't trust my judgment skills in close proximity. xD

-...Speaking of said guy, I totally exchanged numbers with him ._.;;; Don't worry, I didn't do anything (he was too nice for that!) but it's still kind of weird xD Once I gave up on the idol hunt I basically hung out with him and his friend-who-is-a-girl-but-not-a-girlfriend, who looked a lot like this girl from my high school (Gosha, for Kitteh's reference, if she's curious). XD It was kinda weird.

-He totally either has a girlfriend, or is gay, though. :| For one thing, he is hot, and for another, he was like. Way too nice. Like seriously, even when he was dancing with girls (including me and the other girl whose name I don't think I ever learned--his is Shou), he did not touch them. Even when someone (including me, I am still braindead enough to admit it) was dancing in a very 'why yes, you are hot enough for my liking, please dance in a semi-lewd way in my direction thank you', he wouldn't. o_o Some drunk girl even tried to feel him up when he was up on the chair and he actually like, gently eased her off with this sort of awkward, panicked look on his face alskfhalfalf I will admit it was totally adorable, yes. Um. AND HE DIDN'T LIKE. STARE AT ME IN DISGUST WHEN I TOLD HIM I LIKED JOHNNY'S. He laughed and was like 'oh well they come here often' and even pointed out some guy that looked sort of like Jin for me o_o;;; obvs. I had noted said guy before, considering he was the less-cute one. I didn't want to tell him that the main reason I went over to dance with him in the first place was because he was the cutest of the lookalikes. xD He also helped me keep an eye on Laura when I was a little worried about her, too, which he totally didn't have to do. Um. yeah. Too nice for a nightclub. XD He even texted me this morning saying 'today was fun! (smiley face) Is your friend okay? Let's go hang out with everyone again! (sparkles) Night!'

...must be gay. There is no other logical explanation. XD *has no faith in straight men*

-...idek. what else. Some of the costumes were really good (mostly the girls', there were a couple of geisha-esque kimonos that I was shocked they wore to a nightclub XD), and various things like hats and headbands were passed around. XD idk. It was fun. OH AND THEY PLAYED COBRA STARSHIP so I am happy. They also played Linkin Park and considering I sing along to every song I know, my voice is totally shot today. xD I also still have that sort of fuzzy half-hearing from standing next to the speakers most of the time.

-...I am honestly half-tempted to go again tonight and like. ONLY keep my eyes peeled for idols instead of getting distracted XD but I won't because A. I am too poor (the cover charge was 4000 fucking yen) and B. I am going up to Nikko tomorrow to visit my beloved Adryn-senpai and I don't think it would be appropriate to stumble across Japan half-dead after a night of clubbing. XDD (I'm sure she would understand even if I did, though. ;D)

Suddenly I have a social life. What is this madness. XD idk. Right now I am starving and sleepy though so I will stop my rambling there. I took pictures with a bunch of people BUT NOT WITH MY OWN DAMN CAMERA why am I such a moron. Oh well. Next time.

♥

EDIT: OH YEAH. I SAW THESE right as I was about to go to sleep last night and I sort of exploded. JESUS FUCK HOW IS IT POSSIBLE FOR ONE MAN TO BE SO ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS. UGH.

Hey you people who are better at Japanese than me

2009-10-26T12:12:56Z

Can anybody help me figure out if I won tickets to the Bandage screening or not? The news section says they put it up today, but I can't figured out how I'm supposed to know. Here's the main site, but there's something at the bottom that's too small for me to read clearly. So. Help?

2009-10-24T13:41:56Z

So I just finished Buzzer Beat.

...♥

Because Pips is teh awesome <3

2009-10-24T03:26:47Z

This is lame and stupid and entirely for pipsqueaks because ilher lots. ♥

"Jin, I really don't think this is a good idea."

Jin looks up, staring at Yamapi from where he's very carefully mixing things in a bowl, then promptly goes back to inspecting his ingredients. Yamapi sighs.

"Remember last time you tried to bake something?" he continues, eying the soppy mixture that Jin claims is going to turn out incredible. "We had to buy a brand new oven because someone misread the directions."

"They were really confusing!" Jin protests, adding another spoonful of something Yamapi hopes is sugar, not salt. "How was I supposed to know I only had to use two cups of flour?"

"That's what you get for trying to make food with English instructions," Yamapi points out, rolling his eyes, when Jin waves him off and surveys his mixture proudly. Yamapi eyes it doubtfully.

"Okay," Jin declares, pouring it into a pan and putting it in the oven. "Just you wait. I'm going to go take a nap, and in forty-five minutes we'll have the most delicious brownies ever."

Yamapi stares at the stove as Jin walks off towards the bedroom, tilting his head. "Those were supposed to be brownies?" he wonders aloud, but Jin's already in bed.

Sighing, Yamapi shakes his head, pulling out his phone.

-

"You know, every time you do this he thinks he's actually a good cook," Ueda points out, toeing off his shoes and handing the bag over to Yamapi, who smiles gratefully. "If you'd just tell him he sucks, he'd probably stop--well, actually," he amends, "he'd probably try harder. On second thought, keep it up."

Yamapi chuckles, pulling out the grocery store brownies to arrange them on a plate. "It's hard work being a best friend," he says with a sigh, giving Ueda an amused look as he pops them in the microwave, just for a minute. He salutes. "Thank you for your noble work, soldier."

"Yeah, yeah," Ueda replies, but he salutes back with a smile, taking Jin's attempt at cooking and putting it in the grocery store bag, along with the container of the other, edible brownies. Had to eliminate incriminating evidence, after all. "We can't exactly be a group if one of our members poisons himself, you know."

"I see," Yamapi replies in amusement, taking the brownies out of the microwave and handing one to Ueda in gratitude. He follows the other man to the door, grinning at him. "Well, I owe you. Just put it on my tab of 'favours I have to return to the great Leader-sama'."

Ueda snorts. "Will do," he replies with a wave, and Yamapi closes the door just as Jin stumbles out of the bedroom with a hopeful look on his face.

When Jin crows excitedly about how perfectly his brownies have turned out, doing a little dance around the kitchen, Yamapi merely smiles and makes a mental note to message Ueda in thanks.

He doesn't tell Jin he never even turned the oven on.

So this is really reminding me how much I want a boyfriend

2009-10-23T10:24:27Z

So I've started watching Buzzer Beat. I'm just starting episode 3.

2009-10-11T04:27:55Z

So considering it's the awesome Gabe Saporta's birthday, I feel like I should once again pimp Cobra Starship, one of my absolute favourite American bands. I won't claim to know everything about them or be their biggest fan, but I love them a lot.

My favourite album is Viva La Cobra, but their first album, while the city sleeps, we rule the streets is very good too. They also sang the theme song for Snakes On A Plane, and they've done awesome remakes of other songs, like Hollaback Boy and I Kissed A Boy, which is totally awesome and I adore it. XD They also did a cover of Billie Jean. Gabe, the lead singer, would also have sex with Johnny Depp.

I love Gabe a lot. XD

Some of my favourite songs are One Day, Robots Will Cry which has connections to one of my absolute favourite fics of all time. :D It's completely unlike their typical sound, and gorgeous. I also love My Moves Are White (White Hot, That Is) because it makes me think of Jin and it's totally awesome. But I'll let you listen for yourself. ;)

In other news, I am totally in love with this and this. They are both stunning and gorgeous songs and I really, really, really love them. *________* I've been listening to them both all day. This isn't the first time I've found myself really wanting to play Castlevania because of the music. XD

I'm still a little bit sick, but I'm feeling much better. ♥ Also, my beloved Adryn-hime is back in Japan! So I am totally happy. :D

In fandom news: Ryo is a sweetheart and Jin goes to amusement parks with foreigners. XD I really loved Ryo's interview, especially the "I think that when a girl and a guy fight, no matter who’s at fault, the guy should be the one to apologise first." bit. I'm not sure I agree, but I think it's very sweet nonetheless. ♥

I had other stuff to talk about, but now I can't remember what. Um. ...Yeah. If I keep talking, I'll probably just ramble about food, and... I'm not Yamapi, so I won't do that. :D *runs away*

amuse me!

2009-10-09T09:14:18Z

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ADRYN-HIME!

I can't wait until you come back to Japan to see me~ >w< ♥ ♥ ♥ I hope you have a fantastic day!

Turn it up, turn it up~

2009-10-07T10:57:40Z

So today was basically "let's figure out how to make the apartment warm" day. I figured out how to use the heater instead of the air conditioner, and I found the heater in the shower, too. :D So yeah.

In case you don't have me on twitter, I am sick. :( I stayed home today--I feel okay, but I have next to no voice, and I was supposed to have a presentation tomorrow so I wanted to save it for that. Buuuuut~ school is canceled tomorrow because of a typhoon! Yay! \:D/ Oh weather gods, I love you.

I bought medicine, but it was 1000 yen for 12 capsules ($10 FOR 12 FREAKING PILLS) so now I have no money again. ARGH. I still don't have my scholarship, and James said they told him he'll get his on the 23rd, which is... ugh. I need to pay my rent (which is 30,000) by the 10th and buy another commuter pass by the 15th (I only got mine for a month, which was a little over 10,000). So basically I'm gonna have to take out another $500 for rest of the month (that'll leave me with like, $100, assuming they can even get my scholarship by the 23rd. IT WOULDN'T BE A PROBLEM IF I HAD IT ALREADY. GRRR. DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE. *stabs administration*

It wouldn't be so frustrating if some other people hadn't already gotten theirs. :\ They said most people's was delayed because of the new government and things have to be "cleared", by if that's the case, why did like, three people get it? Were they not ~suspicious~ or something? Meh.

I hate being sick away from home, it's always the worst. And I'm actually happy here, in Hawaii I was completely miserable when sick, and I'm still a whiny brat. XD Sorry, guys. I'll shut up now. ♥

The gas guy came by today. I dunno what it was for, but apparently there was no problem with my stove. XD And he gave me the number to call in case there's an explosion or something. I declined to mention I would probably be dead if that happened. XD Ah well.

I have the sudden craving for a corn dog. Or a pretzel dog. Mmmm. Or a grilled cheese sandwich. I AM STARTING TO MISS AMERICAN FOOD. Maybe tomorrow I'll go to McDonald's and see if they sell corn dogs--I dunno why they would, but eh. I saw on a website that they sell them at most grocery stores here, but I find that hard to believe, so I'll start with the American place first. XD

When all else fails, Jin being adorable always makes me happy. ♥

Um. Yeah. I have nothing else to talk about, I don't think. XD Chat with me~ ESPECIALLY YOU KITTEH. I MISS YOU. :(

2009-09-21T21:14:48Z

Brief summary of my night at Lex:

-Reio was there, or a clone of him or something, and generally rather boring lol. I didn't talk to him but I did bump into him a few times and danced near him :) Supposedly Ryo was there too but I couldn't see that person well enough. There was a picture of Pin with some black guy on the wall though XD
-JESUS FUCK MY FEET ARE KILLING ME
-I had a good time (I like dancing and club scenes and stuff like that), but next time I'm going with someone who will actually dance with me, rather than sit around and do nothing and be a wet blanket :\ (*looks hopefully at spurious*)
-THEY CHARGED ME 2,000 YEN BECAUSE TOMORROW IS A HOLIDAY EVEN THOUGH MONDAYS ARE SUPPOSED TO BE FREE. That pissed me off. XD At least it was only about $20 USD.
-They played Lovejuice. I lol'ed a lot (especially because Reio was there) but danced anyway. XD
-Did I mention my feet are killing me
-The rest of it was generally typical club stuff. Creepy guys staring and trying to dance, slutty girls, etc.. Midori sunset cocktail is delicious, Strawberry Kiss is not, and some girl told me that her boyfriend thought I was beautiful. I was very embarrassed and flattered. xD

Uh. I think that's it. I have been awake for over 24 hours now and MY FEET HURT SO BADLY I am going to crash now bai bai

Seriously Takki cut it out

2009-09-19T00:58:38Z

Takki is far too hot for someone so short. And I adore this song. That is all.

*runs off to download Orthros 7*

2009-09-04T01:02:19Z

Why :( why does Japan suck so much? Why does San Francisco suck so much? Why does getting a visa suck so much? What did I do wrong in life to deserve this kind of thing?

T_____________T Hugs would be really appreciated so I don't burst into tears

THE SCHOOL HAS MY COE, THANK GOD

2009-08-31T18:38:09Z

I have other stuff to talk about, but I promised myself I wouldn't make a post of content until I was done with froidaux's birthday post, so!

ANON MEME

:D?

*runs*

EDIT: Can somebody recommend a good music player to use on my laptop? I currently use WMP but I don't like that it has no playcount, but I don't want to download iTunes because I have a lot of trouble with it on my desktop (glitches and popping open once I've closed it and general annoyances). I don't know anything about the other players, so tell me!

For now, enjoy your card. XD

*flees*

This will be quick

2009-08-26T20:46:38Z

Because I have to go to my grandma's house, but I want something to do when I get back. So!

Top 5 meme:

Ask me for one of my 'top fives' (ex.: top five dramas, top five JE boys, etc.). This has been going around, so I'm sure you all know what I mean. XD

Voyeur meme:

Ask me to take a picture of anything (decent). Mostly on my computer (I'll be nice and do both my desktop and laptop), but I'm extending it to my room like Camille did. Uh, yeah.

ARE YOU WATCHING ORTHROS NO INU YET AND IF NOT WHY NOT ~~because if you are you should write me fic~~

*runs away*

Frustrated. Help? :(

2009-08-17T20:49:25Z

So, since I'm going to Japan, I know I'll need power adapters. You know, the kind you plug into the wall so you can plug your stuff in and it works properly/doesn't blow up. Well, I can't seem to find any that have three prongs, so I can plug my laptop in. I found one and bought it, but it's only for small stuff with two prongs and specifically not for laptops--it's basically only good for hair dryers and irons and stuff. UGH. It's so frustrating. I need something I can use for my laptop, my DS charger... I dunno what else I'll be taking that's electronic, but I know I need it.

So. Anybody want to help me? I need a power adapter for Japan that I can plug three-pronged stuff into. >.< This is really frustrating. *paws helplessly at f-list*

Also, if there's other stuff I need to take that you want to tell me about, please do so 8D

*slinks off*

EDIT: EEEEE ANOTHER JINxCRYSTAL KAY COLLAB! clearly this is the universe cheering me up

There's only one thing for me to do, and that's keep on trying~

2009-08-13T01:50:14Z

Because this song has been stuck in my head since I heard it on Bones--Keep On Tryin' by Poco. It's a beautiful song and I love it a lot. *_____* And it makes me feel very hopeful. ♥ ♥ ♥ Love love love.

Jin talks about his cock a whole lot

That's basically it. AND HE HAS THE MOST ADORABLE GAIJIN ACCENT OMG. XDDDD alkshfahfss He's such a dork. And such a guy. XDDDDD LISTEN. READ. LOVE.

While I'm pimping Jin stuff, I came across '18 reasons why people call him Bakanishi'. XD So adorable. I watched his Oshareism interview again too, which everyone should watch if they haven't because IT'S SO ADORABLE AND WONDERFUL AND lkahsflashflahsflskhfl. *flails*

I had some other links, but I can't remember what they were now. So have this instead:

You Are a Rainbow

Breathtaking and rare
You are totally enchanting and intriguing
But you usually don't stick around long!

You are best known for: your beauty

Your dominant state: seducing

What Type of Weather Are You?

XD I doubt it. And I do stick around for long, I've been in this fandom for 3-4 years already! *flails*

I have nothing else to say, but I am tired and cranky and I could use hugs. :(
