One with the teacups

I HAVE THE BEST FRIENDS ON THE PLANET.

♥ ♥ ♥ I love you all. Even the ones who aren't on LJ. Even the ones I've only recently met. Even the ones I hardly talk to anymore. I love you all.

I'm posting two things here, both of which I've posted before but I feel need to be repeated. People are here who weren't around when I posted them before, and I think they're both very beautiful and very important, and should be thought about and exposed to my new friends.

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?

BECAUSE I AM A MORON AND I HAVEN'T FINISHED YOUR FIC YET AND I AM JUST COMPLETELY WORTHLESS TODAY:

HAPPY BIRTHDAY froidaux

:DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD

I LOVE YOU I LOVE YOU I LOVE YOU I'M SORRY I HAVE NO CONCEPT OF TIME. *brain explodes* TO MAKE UP FOR IT I WILL WRITE YOU LOTS OF STUFF AND EVEN THOUGH IT WILL BE LATE I WILL MAKE YOU THE MOST EPIC BIRTHDAY LOVE POST THAT WAS EVER POSTED. D< *nod nod*

For now, enjoy your card. XD

*flees*

HAPPY BIRTHDAY anamuan!!!!!!!!! I hope it is full of wonderful times, cake, pressies, and alcoholic shenanigans. :P ♥ ♥ ♥ ilu!!!!

You know, I was about to make this huge sparkly ghei post of love, and then I spilled milk on my cellphone.

THIS HAS ONLY DOUBLED MY MOTIVATION. oVo!!!!!

I love you guys so much. ♥ Screw whining about money and ~*~life~*~ and any of that. I have absolutely nothing to complain about. I have a roof over my head, and food to eat, and THE MOST AWESOME FRIENDS IN THE WHOLE UNIVERSE. Seriously, you guys are amazing. ♥ ♥ ♥ Whether it's helping me find a job or just giving me reassurance or just lkahsflkh ANYTHING, I am so lucky. Why should I sit here and whine about the crappy parts of life when I have you guys? *squishsmotherlove* I'm sorry for being a whiny teenager (which I just typed as teacher? wtf) and annoying and clingy, BUT YOU HAVE TO DEAL WITH THE CLINGY BECAUSE I LOVE YOU ALL TOO MUCH TO LET GO. ♥

I have the best friends in the world and you are all mine and I won't share you guys with anybody else NYAH. D< MINE. YOU ARE ALL MINE TO LOVE AND HUG AND SMOTHER IN SLIGHTLY AWKWARD AND STIFLING LOVE. Unless you're friends with each other. BUT EVEN THEN I'M WATCHING YOU. ಠ_ಠ

In conclusion:

♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥

I HAVE THE BEST FRIENDS EVER AND I LOVE YOU ALL LOTS AND LOTS AND LOTS.

What type of Fae are you?

dies, idk. I like quizzes and I thought it was funny. XD Even though it doesn't really match my personality.

❝who do you ship me with?❞

:D? This should be obvious.

I don't have much else to talk about. I had a bad dream (involving Bones--as in, the character from the show) and that kind of made the rest of the day suck. xD So uh, meme?

The problem with LiveJournal:
We all think we are so close, but really, we know nothing about each other. So I want you to ask me something you think you should know about me. Something that should be obvious, but you have no idea about. Ask away. Then post this in your LJ and find out what people don't know about you!

SOMEBODY TEACH ME FRENCH. *stares at wife-chan*

The bad news:

[-] I didn't get the Bridging scholarship. :\ This really sucks, because I was depending on that for my housing for Japan this year. *sigh* So I'll have to look elsewhere and keep applying. X.x Ugh. Money sucks.

[-] Cramps are the devil. X.x X.x X.x

[-] My dad called. *makes face* I have to call him back. *makes worse face*

[-] Job hunting is fail, so far. :\ I've been out searching with grandma, and I have to do some sleuthing on my own. Any tips? When the unemployment rate is this high, I know I shouldn't be picky, but I kind of need an office job. I can't be forced to stand for eight hours without being allowed to sit down, my blood pressure isn't high enough for that. (Mom thinks I should go for modeling agencies lololol yeah right)

[-] California is made of fail.

The good news:

[+] I got to see Kitteh yesterday! :DDDDDD It was fun and wonderful. ♥ Even if she tried to poison me. She showed me this which Sarah is apparently too cool to watch (:| :| :|) and this which is ten kinds of hilarious. XD

[+] I've been eating good food and having lots of fun. *_* We went to Olive Garden, and I've had chicken tacos and fettuccine and eggs and bacon and biscuits and alskhfalsfh. <3333 Delicious. Also, we went to the movies on Sunday! We saw Angels & Demons and it was really good. <3333 I don't remember much of the book, so that lowered my standards. xD

[+] I worked for my uncle today and he gave me $40 for it. :D Yay! See, why can't I get just a simple typing job like that, all the time?

[+] My animals are adorable and wonderful. >w< My cousin falls under that category too. XD

[+] This makes me alskfhaslkfhsalfh. >w< So sweet! ♥ ♥ ♥ ILU GUYS A LOT A LOT. :D

The stuff I am neutral about:

[+-] I work for my uncle again on Thursday and Friday. I don't really want to, especially because the Tuesday one is super early, but money is still money. So I think tomorrow I'm going to nurse my cramps and clean out my closet so I can finish unpacking (lololol cries) and get together all the stuff I don't want anymore. And maybe do some more job/scholarship hunting. Today I will finish off by vegging on the couch with my doggie in my lap and my wife-chan on the computer. :D ♥

ilu guys~

The culprit of swine flu has been revealed! XD

Um yeah. Anyways~ I was not as productive today as I should have been, however, I did get some things done, so it wasn't entire wasted!

( to do list, updated )

Other stuff out of my control:
-Japanese oral midterm on Thursday salkfhalfkh
-Meeting about study abroad on Thursday
-Advising on Monday, 12:30-ish

Whee! Busy busy. But at least I have a ride to the airport! *_* 18 DAYS. *flails happily* Also, as an elaboration about my bad grade--I talked to the professor, and he basically said he didn't want to let me do a rewrite because it was too late in the semester to let everybody do rewrites and get them all graded and stuff, etc. etc. but since he knows I'm a good student (even though... it's a lecture course and I don't do anything? XD w/e, not complaining), if I do well on the final he'll de-emphasize it. :x So. Thankfully my grade for the class isn't totally shot.

Linking once again for consistency, polls at KTLOVE (no is winning by one point~ vote guys :3) and JOR (which I still don't get but w/e). You know, I'll fight with them as much as they want, but I really don't care enough to push the issue. *points up to list* That has my priority.

Oh yeah, and [insert bitching about how vc_mel is a bad mod]

What? He said I would, who am I not to comply with modly wishes? ^_^ (/bricked)

Also, can somebody explain the point of Dreamwidth to me? I totally don't get the purpose of it. o.O It just looks like having a second LJ. (Needless to say, I will not be getting one)

In the meantime, random picspam of random randomness! :D

( Of boys, girls, and lolcats )

Wow. That was mostly Jin and Namie Amuro, as expected. XD I AM PREDICTABLE. *bricked*

Also, thanks to silver_rose88, I want to write Yamapi/Reio. THANKS A LOT, RIHA. >.>;;;

Oyasumi! *runs off to listen to more Dido* (/unrelated)

Would anybody be willing to beta a poem for a scholarship? It's pretty bad, I warn you now. XD So I want somebody to look over it. If you can, please let me know~

For my birthday, the two best things I got:

LOVE. ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥
SUNSHINE. ♥ ♥ ♥

Thank you all so much for the sweet birthday wishes. >w< ♥ ♥ ♥ Dies, it's so hard to believe that I'll be 20 next year. 20 still seems like some foreign, adult-y age that won't pop up for another 5 years or so. WHAT IS THIS I FEEL OLD lololol *is smacked by everyone older than her and Kat*

Anyhoo! I will have pictures and more detail about it this weekend, since I'm not sure what my plans will be, though I think I'm going with my friend Eri out... somewhere. idk. xD We'll see. Even just relaxing would be good, as I am tireeeed~

So, I got an email from the director of study abroad today, and I got all excited thinking he was going to tell me I got into Keio. Well, he told me the opposite. :\ Yeah. Apparently they only take five applicants for Keio, and the others who applied were apparently more impressive than me. So... yeah. He gave me some other options, and after looking things over, I think this is how my new choices are:

1. Nihon University (Tokyo)
2. Nanzan University (Nagoya)
3. Akita University (Akita)

I don't know much about any of these places, but I hear Nihon uni's study abroad program is strong. Plus, their housing costs are only about 30,000 yen a month ($300), which is about $200 bucks cheaper than Keio. XD It's also at a pretty good location, so... yeah. I'm still pretty bummed out about not getting to go to Keio, but maybe this will turn out nicely. Nihon uni is cheaper, after all. XD That, and if I don't end up going this year at all, well... idk. I don't want to think about that. :x We'll see what happens!

So yes. All in all, it was a wonderful day. ♥ ♥ ♥ I had cake and pressies and happy times. ALSO, I GOT PAID TODAY. Even though I don't have my check yet. XD But yes. I'll talk to you all again on the weekend, my lovelies. >w< *squish*

What should spoon / froidaux change her name to?

Ticky?

I LOVE tinyangl

I AM UNDESERVING. *bows down*

Also, I changed my username, which is not the real point of this post. Formerly shatteredinu, I am now my proper name (Shut up Kat)! :DDDD ♥ ♥ ♥ so yes.

So I just finished the countdown!

( for those who haven't watched it yet )

I got stuffs today! A shiny card and stickers from cynicalism, and a neat laptop desk from my grandpa. :DDDD It's shiny and wonderful. Hee. ♥ ♥ ♥ I am happy.

My shoulder still hurts, but I'm using it anyway, because it's New Year's and I can be in as much pain as I want. I won't be doing anything special, but I'm content. :D Countdown makes me very happy.

ALSO I TRIED OUT MY JAPANESE NAME STAMP AND IT'S IN HIRAGANA AND THUS FUNNY-LOOKING BUT I DON'T CARE. MUWAHAHAHA. *stamps everything in existence*

...>.>;;;

Happy NewS Year, all! :DDDD Be safe and have fun! Get drunk because I can't have my annual shot. :P ♥

*flails gleefully*

HAPPY BIRTHDAY 4_03_am/enraged!!!

For your birthday, you get something you've been waiting for. For quite a while. xD I'm leaving the original header up until you read it, but then I'll edit it. :3 So Happy birthday! I'm sorry it's not much, but it's the best I've got. ^^;;

maya_morning: what are you eating and is it good?
pixisticks: I am eating sausage biscuits with egg and cheese, and yes it is good
pixisticks: Though not as hot as I would prefer, but that's okay
maya_morning: what are sausage biscuits...
maya_morning: they sound disturbing
pixisticks: They're sausage patties on American biscuits (not your type of biscuits) with some egg and cheese
maya_morning: ohhh
maya_morning: yeah you guys have funny biscuit thingies right
maya_morning: like um hard bread?
pixisticks: XD
pixisticks: well they're not supposed to be hard...
maya_morning: idk. i have read about them in books
pixisticks: You are so cute XD
maya_morning: *is knowledgeable*
pixisticks: I want to mail you a can
pixisticks: so you can make them
pixisticks: and see what they're like
maya_morning: with the sausage stuff?
maya_morning: ohhhh
maya_morning: wow
pixisticks: no
pixisticks: just biscuits xD
maya_morning: i thought they were just out of a packet...
maya_morning: i didnt realise there was making stuff involved

Oh sarah. You are so adorable. ♥ Those sausage biscuits were pretty good, though THEY WERE OUT OF CHOCOLATE PUDDING OMG I WAS SO UPSET. RAGE.

maya_morning: bless his cotton socks

Also, a great big "I told you so" to all the people who were complaining about KAT-TUN not doing anything. And dear lord, how are people so ungrateful? They're not machines. Ugh. Humanity annoys me sometimes.

Going to apply for a job today. Both excited and scared. O_O;; Wish me luck! *clings to spoon* ♥

Also, uh. I have 3k words for je_hols? Yay, I guess. xD I dunno. I don't feel likke working on it right now, some douche stole my regular seat and my outlet. And no, I'm not really in a better mood, so please don't ping me unless I ping you first. I'm telling you, I won't be nice.

MY MOM KEEPS LOLCAT-ING ME. I THINK THIS RUNS IN THE FAMILY OR SOMETHING.

Why no, this post has nothing of value in it.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY sanctified_x!!!

:DDDDD

I don't have anything prepared because I am a terrible person, but tell me what you want (WITHIN REASON, I AM NOT MAGICAL LIKE SPN WRITERS) and I will do my best to deliver. :D I'm sorry, I fail. *grovel, grovel*

(I have other things to talk about, but they're boring, so I'll post about them later, or tomorrow. For now, just a simple happy birthday to ro~)

♥

*skips off*

Hey guys. I'm really sorry you had to read my whining--I meant to make it private, but it was the middle of the night and I was rushing to do it before my roommate got back, so. I have to really thank you guys, though. Reading your comments made me feel a lot better. I can't reply to all of them or I'll never shut up, but just know that I sincerely appreciate it. ♥ ♥ ♥ *love and hugs for all*

I signed up for the spring semester. So basically, I've signed my fate for the next year--if May rolls around and I'm still unhappy, I'm going home, but I've come to the realization that I'm much happier when I get out. Even just sitting in the cafeteria cheers me up, which is weird because at home, I used to hate going out places. But I guess it's time for a change. I've made up my mind, and I'm going to take your advice. I will get out more, even if it's just sitting outside for a little while, or going to the cafeteria. I just have to do something, and as much as it pains me that that might cut into my time with you guys, if it makes me happy to be out and about, then it's what I want to do. This is what I wanted, back in Vegas--no, what I needed. I needed to get away, and now that I'm here, I'm going to damn well enjoy it, because it was my own decision to come here. I have to thank you guys again, really. It makes me feel better to know that I'm not the only one who's felt this way, and it's good to hear what you guys did to get over it. So thank you.

I WOULD STAY HERE JUST FOR THE CHOCOLATE PUDDING. For real face. It is the most amazing chocolate pudding in the universe. If I hated everything else about this place, I would stay in the cafeteria until it closed. GNNNNH. *_______*

If girly time is over by then, I'm going to the beach this weekend (FINALLY). I ran into Saori-chan while I was in the cafeteria today--I think this is a sign, really--and she said she'd go with me, so. Yes. :) Hopefully that works out. I'm willing to go to Waikiki if I have to just to go. XD

So yeah. I think that's all I had to say. :x Oh besides SOMEBODY PLAY THIS GAME WITH ME alkshfalskfhalksh. *flails* So fuuuuuuun. ♥ ♥ ♥

In summary, I love you all. ♥

VERY IMPORTANT EDITS:

You should read this. RIGHT NOW. It's so hot. *_* Also, the Toda Erika/Yamapi/Jin that I wrote with ro the other day. :Dv

Ganked from maya_morning. I think you were only supposed to use each person once, but it didn't say that in the rules, so that's too bad. And who am I for rules, anyway. :P

1. There are 30 questions.
2. Next to each number, write only the name of the person who fits.
3. Answer one question with one name.
4. Don't tell the questions to anyone who isn't doing the meme.

( kekekeke )

Also, ganked from anamuan from ages ago. More paranoia! Watch me forget who I'm talking about.

( ahaha what. )

Everyone should watch this video. ♥
