to the lighthouse, my friend

HI EVERYONE. HOW ARE YOU?

I'm having a strange affinity for black these days, which means that my make-up is darker and my clothing is, well, black. That doesn't mean I'm emo, because I add class, and you know it. I don't listen to Coldplay excessively, which I think it one of the commandments for being an emo and it makes the stench of emo pretty overwhelming. I did, however, listen to Himitsu earlier. Does it count if Nino's haircut was emo when he sang it?

( Real life, fangirling, fandom (without the usual bitchery) Adele and thoughts on Beautiful World. )

MY BEST OF TH ALBUM HAS ARRIVED WOOOOO
I have only TWO complaints - Why no 1000 Meere video? And WHY ARE GEORG AND GUSTAV HIDDEN BEHIND THE CDS? DDDD:
Other than that, Hurricanes and Suns in HQ is the best thing since sliced bread. Bill, I dig your deep voice, just saying.

Ehem.

So, I received a giant present the other day, from my lovely soulmate Gati and dskjfhdshgsjdak THANK YOU ;;__;; /wibble
And as promised, here is the picture of me wearing the hat you knit for me ♥! And in bonus, you also got a picture of my weird nose in profile yay!
And this is how I look today, just fyi xD

Also, my facebook updates increase excessively while I write assignments. I'm beginning to sense a pattern. But now assignment is done, it's been accepted so on Friday, my Christmas Break starts yay 8D No class or anything until February 1st 8D

And the drama update:
- My Girl - COMPLETE EFFING FINALLY. Aiba looked amazing, but I still wasn't too impressed with his acting. I want to hug Koharu to death, though. The My Girl song still grates on my nerves.
- Bambino! I finished it! Four years later! WOO! I will just say, that that restaurant in Italy he goes to? I've eaten there xD
- Freeter! Fuck you Neen, you are pretteeeeeeh. And congratulations on the high ratings! Only drama I'm following this season.
- Dl-d all of Nodame Cantabile and the first part of The Final Score. Now I just need to watch it. I promised Pants Bearer I would.
- Got A from J-popcon to promise he'd give Maou a go YAY
- Made me want to rewatch Maou AGAIN AGAIN AGAIN OMG
- I also need to rewatch Saigou no Yakusoku, but I have a feeling I'll watch it with BFF next week, along with Hanadan Final, just to shut her up. She's been nagging me about it for a year now >.>
- Tumbling! I'm dl-ing it at the moment. Did any of you watch it?
-  I should probably also finish dl-ing Voice. I still need to dl the last few eps, but I kinda lost interest in it. Hmm, I shall rewatch from scratch and decide, then.
- Tried watching Rescue, but uhh, even Massu couldn't save it for me xD

Not drama, but I bought first season of Heroes because BFF said it was awesome. I still also need Vampire Diaries season 1 on dvd, and I wouldn't object to NCIS season 6, either xD

Not drama related, but speaking of A - I talked to him about Arashi and he went "laksdkjsj ew dancing boyband" and I smacked him (over msn) and promptly sent him Believe and Refrain, and what do you know, he actually liked it. So for now, he likes them when he doesn't have to look at them. Doesn't stop me from sending him AnS clips and stuff. He also thinks V6 is awesome, so, mission accomplished-ish?
I shoved all my Utada music on him, and he loves it. In return, he gave me all of Avatar, so now I know what I'm going to watch when I've finished Gantz.

I'm considering to get my hair cut short again, but I'm also very tempted to just get more layers and let it grow longer. Opinions?

I have several writing projects lined up; including but not limited to Oraya pt. 2, Arashi in Space, Imperfect Things and two more. So let's see if I actually get some writing done! Keep your fingers crossed for me, yeah?

Lastly, I miss talking to my Pants Bearer, but she'll be home in five days! I want to have more drabble jam sessions ;;_;;

I LOVE YOU ALL AND HEY HAVE YOU NOTICED, I'M ACTUALLY REPLYING BACK TO YOU. I DON'T SUCK that much ANYMORE REJOICE YAY \o/\o/\o/\o/

AND HEY MODS ON MY SHIP, I LIVE YOU LIKE FIERCE.
 

So I wake from nap on the couch by my phone ringing - I answer, and it's my friend telling me that when she has her period, her vagina hurts. WTF WORLD WHY DO YOU DO THIS TO ME WHY WHY WHY

Anyway, I'm moving around in post-orgasmicassignment bliss. Did the assignment go well? IDK AND IDC ATM. BAM. And I mean it.
Latin texts were difficult as fuck to translate, because the assholes didn't care about proper grammar, cue me having a fit about it. It was interesting, though. The dude I was partnered with found some really interesting texts for us; we found a law that said, that if you meet a man by a crossroad, and he has no feet and hands, and if you kill him, you'll have to pay a fee.

HOW OFTEN DOES THAT HAPPEN?!

We also found a law that said, that if you put a living man into a well, and he gets up again, you'll have to pay a fee. If you've killed a man and you try to hide the body beneath: twigs, leaves, under water or in a well, the fee is doubled by three.

Either a) they were very protective of their water, b) they thought killing people was bad, or c) they just didn't make sense.

There was also something about a kettle and someone who could get his hand back, but I gave up, because the grammar was too horrible. But hey, I found out that the value of a fertile woman was at least the double value of an infertile woman. Good they had some standards back in the medieval times /snort

I was super amused at Kaibutsu-kun, which my BFF (WHO I AM NOT TALKKING TO ATM I MEAN IT) installed while I wasn't looking, because while I was translating a highly amusing law that dealt with murderers, I look down and THIS is what I see. Oh my god, THIS IS FATE.

CALLY. You are the most adorable thing ever. AND YOU. She has succesfully made me step into V6 fandom. Now, if only you could do something to keep me in Rainow Land, then I'm up for suggestions!

Also, I was pretty sure I'd get to write something for Christmas, but now I'm pretty sure I'm not. Uh, doctor told me to lay low for the rest of the year and most of the next OTL and I have to do something about it. Because I did wonder why I forgot things quicker than usual, and it turns out I'm stressed. Well, I could have told her that. Anyway, the assignment is done, and I suppose I'll take a break from grammar.

I WEEP MYSELF TO SLEEP. IT'S TRUE. and whoa, I rhymed :D I need a badge with "I ♥ grammar". Seriously.

Uh yes. I almost forgot, but first batch of Christmas Cards will be sent out on Monday - meaning; everyone except ze Mods + Clone, has a higher chance of their cards getting to them before Christmas this year xD But MODS. AND CLONE. FEAR NOT. I will have them sent by the end of the week! 

And a word of warning to everyone who receives a card - some of you might wanna rethink opening the envelope above the floor. Just saying.

Hmm... what to say- OH MICHELLE. I'm sorry, but that cd I promised you, it's all sold out atm. I will buy it and send it to you as soon as I find it!

And speaking of Christmas presents, I did pre-order the "Best Of TH- Limited Edition" album for myself. Yes, I know. Only for two new songs. But hey, at least I get the PV's! I also treated myself with a ticket to Crazy Christmas Cabaret, so stay tuned for crazy rambles about that.

Now, I have some time to myself, so I think I'll indulge myself with some writing.

Toodles!

And what's this - no obligatory I'M SORRY I FAIL SO MUCH AT BEING YOUR LJ FRIEND comment?! Well, there you have it.

WOE BE TO ALL OF YOU IF YOU DON'T CROSS YOUR FINGERS FOR MAACHIN AND HIS DRAMA ON THE 26TH. SERIOUSLY. DO IT, NOW.

I went to work today. Big surprise. The surprise was that we got three new small ponies. I'm not kidding, they. are. tiny. And one of them is the spawn of Satan. No, he's not mean to me, but he's so cheeky that if he one day gets beaten up by the other horses, I wouldn't be surprised the least.

When I got home. I took a nap. Like I always do when I've been to work. Later I had a d'uh moment. A major one. I, as amazing as it sounds, realized that Ohno looks very Japanese. Yes. Go ahead and laugh, I did, too. No, but seriously, sometimes I look at pictures and in some of them, he looks very Japanese. And I like it :D

Okay, so Vanessa told me to post drawings insted of the next Oraya piece, so if you're not happy about that, go and flay her 8D So you know I was drunk the other day? I was rambling a lot, apparently, and couldn't spell 'calligraphy' and I dropped spelling words with too many vowels. It all ended up me arguing with myself whether or not to draw something with marker (my argument against it was that I'd probably get marker everywhere and I'm allergic to it, so that was a no-go), but I should know that I don't listen to myself.

So I drew Hyde, because I'd started on a drawing of him months ago and I hadn't finished that, but I started a NEW one. Or two new, and finished the other one xD Besides, Hyde is pretty and I adore him, which you probably know XD

( Marker drawings of Hydeeeeee )

Okay, I just went to watch Phantom Of the Opera and jksfhhjgs ♥
The costumes were gorgeous and I get goosebumbs every time the overture starts. 
The not so smart thing about that is that I went with my headache almost at its highest.
But it was SO worth it <3
Mette and I had a blast - my mom is kinda sick, too, (me being the other), so I called up my partner in crime and we went :D

Such an amazing day, though I'm every bit ready to die now.

Love you all <3

/Off to bed.

*still flailing*

Okay, so Utada's new single is perhaps not the most inventive and creative she's ever made, but it's still <33333
It'll probably be better for her sophomore album on Def Jam than the material on Exodus was. I'm not saying Exodus was bad, because god, I love that album, but it just wasn't...mainstream enough for that market.

But 'Come Back To Me' definitely has a sound that's easy to listen to.

AND!!!!!

First Japanese class of the year! I still want to marry my sensei, she's all kinds of awesome <3


And, you know the drill, it's time for...
