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~

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.

Oh well, it's the last week
Pixi's Mom says:

Pixisticks says:
Ahaha, I won't
Pixi's Mom says:

Pixisticks says:

Pixisticks says:
Mondays and Thursdays are free for women at that club :D :D :D
Pixisticks says:
hee hee
Pixi's Mom says:
That does it - I’m writing Jin’s mother

My mommy is mean to me. XD

I HAVE OREO CAKESTERS AND YOU DON'T. TAKE THAT, BITCHES.

/bricked

Also, someone please tell Jin to stop being so goddamn molest-able. slkfhlahfklashflashfklashflkahfklafhla



*runs*

Edit: I lied.

( two youtube videos )

Hopefully, anyway. XD So, thanks to silver_rose88 and amairo_parasol, I've learned that I suck at photoshop there are lots of things to be discovered! With my new knowledge of textures and brush making all that kind of stuff, I present my second batch of icons!

Pleeeease let me know what you like and what you don't like :3 I'm trying to improve, yo. ♥ Other than that, enjoy! Credit if you nab (though idk why you'd want to since they still kinda suck XD), but you don't need to comment. :3 The first batch can be found here.

In this batch:

-9 Kuroki Meisa
-8 Akanishi Jin
-1 KAT-TUN
-1 Namie Amuro
-1 Toda Erika

( filters, textures, and color balance, oh my! )

:D So? How did I do this time? ♥

EDIT: I just learned that there is a size limit of 40 kb for LJ icons--I've resized all of them except the Jin one with the bees and flower, which is ungodly huge for some weird reason. But I'm working on that one. XD

EDIT 2: pipsqueaks has kindly pointed out how much of a moron I am, so the Jin one is fixed. XD She also did a very lovely version of it here, so make sure to credit if you take it! <33333

With the help of everyone on my last post (especially silver_rose88--THANK YOU RIHA), I have the power of making icons! >D Granted, they're not that great or anything, and I still can't figure out a good way of dealing with empty spaces on the side (like if an icon is too tall to make it proportional, and it's not as wide as 100), BUT HEY IT'S MY FIRST TIME. >.>

So here they are! \:D/ Please let me know what you think of them--and please give me concrit! I want to know how to improve them~ :DDD Also, most of these have probably been icon'd already, but I don't care. Practice, dammit. +_+

In this batch:

-10 Akanishi Jin (lol who is surprised)
-4 Yamashita Tomohisa
-4 Toda Erika
-4 Kuroki Meisa
-1 Matsuda Shota
-1 Yoshi
-1 kitten

You all know the drill--I trust you not to steal my crappy icons, but if by some off-chance you do like them, just credit me. 8D AND IF YOU CAN TELL ME A GOOD WAY TO MAKE THE FIRST JIN ONE PROPORTIONATE (It's not 100x100 but I can't figure out what I did, and I can't find a good way to fill in the spaces) PLEASE SHOW ME/TELL ME. Um. Other than that, obviously I own none of these pictures, except for what I edited them with. xD

( Oh this will be fun )

So how did I do? Do they suck? :x *bites lip nervously* Help me fix them!

But since she's not on, I'll do it. (:||||||)

Inspired by the Kame love fest...

THE MASS JIN LOVE ORGY FEST THINGY ♥ ♥ ♥

In celebration of Jin’s birthday, razberrycreme and I have made this!

The Rules:

仁: SPREAD THE JIN LOVE! It doesn't matter how, and anyone is welcome! A flaily comment, a picspam, a fic, sparkly hearts, your favourite clips, anything! Spam this entry with whatever you want, as long as it pertains to Jin and his awesome!

仁: Directly related to the above rule: NO JIN HATING PLZ. If you want to hate on him, make your own fest. Just pass this by. That is not to say 'no criticism of Jin whatsoever because he is a perfect godlike figure', because of course he has his faults. But there is a difference between constructive criticism and blatant OMG U SUCK flaming. I assume you're all mature enough to understand, but I'll let Jin explain for you anyway:





You get the picture.

仁: THIS POST WILL GO ON FOREVER. No really! Come back and post whenever you want! A year from now, two, anytime! It won't be a sticky forever, but it will live and be sparkly and shiny whenever you want and need it. \:D/

Helpful Starters:

Here are some things you can do on this post! Including, but not limited to:

仁: Picspams!
仁: Ficspams!
仁: Keysmashy, capslocky, nonsensical flail!
仁: Video spams!
仁: Any and all kinds of discussion!
仁: Love for any and all aspects of Jin, including drama characters, OTPs, friendships, body parts, anything! JUST LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE!
仁: Spam with hearts! ♥
仁: Spam with sparkles!
仁: PIMP THIS POST!

And etc. :3

Index:

The spam will be categorized here for easy access, once there is enough of it. :D

GO FORTH AND SPAM!



What's left to say?

♥

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JIN!

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)

So it's that day again! 3/22. :D In honour of KAT-TUN's third anniversary and to combat my recent emo, I bring you a picspam that has absolutely nothing to do with KAT-TUN, but should make you happy. (Inspired by spurious's post a while back. XD)

( Click. )

I wanted more, but I can't seem to find the ones I was looking for, so. Enjoy? :D

This morning I woke up and thought "I should do something productive". Clearly that means this.

( food )
