One with the teacups

Why Namie Amuro is amazing: Exhibit A. Exhibit B.

*_____________________________________* I LOVE HER SO MUCH.

♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ *worships*

So, yesterday was the last day of term, with the closing ceremony and saying goodbye to everyone. It was very sad and I ended up crying more than I intended to--I didn't realize I was going to miss everyone so much. I didn't spend much time with them and we didn't see eye to eye all the time, but there's no denying they were wonderfully fun, sweet people.

If there's one thing I've learned, it's this. Everyone judges. Everyone says racist things, and everyone thinks in stereotypes. Even if you try not to, even if you didn't intend for it to be that way, even if you feel guilty as soon as you do it, even if you don't mean it and you know it doesn't apply to everyone, it still happens. Everyone does it, because it's human nature to want to judge, to want to categorize things. People don't fit into categories, but we try, and the most important thing is realizing that other people do it too. It may not always be nice or true or anything, but it happens, and I think as soon as we stop treating it as such a big, serious thing, the world will be a much calmer place.

In simple terms: Everyone has the potential for maximum suckage, so take a chill pill, bitches. ♥



This is really just an excuse to pimp Namie and that picture. xD Go back to your lives now~

Put behind a cut because I don't want other people to get annoyed having to read my annoyance.

( This cut was an afterthought. )

I feel like Jin has decided that whenever someone he knows is doing something, he has to do one better. xD Pi gets a single, he gets a movie and a single. Pi gets a solo con, he wants a solo con with like, a million more shows. Kame gets a drama (which I will probably care about as much as I did... basically any Kame drama since Tatta, rofl), he puts out a mini-album. Hell, he even said that the reason he did An-an was because he wanted to do it better than everyone else. XDDD Oh, my spoiled boy. ♥ I adore you so. Even if you are guzzling up all my money. :(

Speaking of money, I need to hurry up and open a bank account, like, NOW. Because I really need to get my money back in my American bank account so I can make sure I have enough for tuition. I've been having some slightly depressing issues trying to figure out what's best to do, but I'm trying not to ruin the holidays for myself and figure out the best thing to do. I'm also still coughing and congested in the chest area, and I can't tell if I'm getting better or worse, and if I should go to the doctor regardless. Ugh. I hate things pertaining to health. And money. Usually they're interconnected so DOUBLE HATE. :|

rofl I am not a happy panda today. xD I'm not particularly upset or anything, I'm just, idk. It's the ~*~last week~*~ and I feel guilty that I don't think I'll miss everyone as much as I should and I feel bad that I was too poor to do anything with them and I feel even worse for not feeling guilty that I care more about people I already know and hanging out with them than I do for trying to get to know the new people. And I'm just tired. I want it to be over already so I can rest.

I could talk about what's bothering me but I already rambled at Scribe so I won't. Instead I'll just go write my last hols scene so I can send it in, since I'm tired of looking at it. Once again I don't like it, but that's how I always feel, so not too surprising there. xD

I leave you with a picture of a dog that is almost as cute as mine.

Pixi's Mom says:
That does it - I’m writing Jin’s mother

My mommy is mean to me. XD

o_o

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

( while I'm at it )

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

( just pics of the covers since I don't have a scanner )

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

-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.

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. :(

See you guys when I get settled in Tokyo. :)

(I'm actually not leaving until tomorrow, but I have to be at the airport at 6:30 a.m. so I figured I'd post this now. XD)

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

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

See title.

*collapse* It's almost too hot to post, but I will try. XD

Anyway, ( this is what I decided )

So basically it boils down to I'M GOING TO JAPAN IN TWO MONTHS!

It'll be so good to go back. *_* I miss it! ♥ Yay~

Um. What else. My desktop has been acting up lately, so I did a system restore all the way back to May. Which I think means I've lost my Sims 2 stuff, but that's okay. *flops* I haven't been playing lately--I downloaded a polygamy hacked wedding arch, but it doesn't work, so screw that. 8D Um. Yeah. Oh! I've been playing An Untitled Story, which is a game about an egg and it is wonderful. Everyone should play. ♥

Lastly:
