Ohno makes my heart all melty. <3



I'm going out to buy this single, along with Believe maybe tomorrow.  I have to check my bank account first.  If not tomorrow, then on the 17th for sure, 'coz that's when I get my scholarship!  And what better way to spend the money they give me than on everything with Ohno's face on it?  :D

A new year full to the brim with concerts!  Here are the ones that I am/plan on going to so far:


Bottle Cap Label - January 17
One OK Rock - January 24 (need to buy ticket)
Fall Out Boy - February 6 (need to pay friend for ticket)
Flumpool - March 1 (need to buy ticket)


Of course, you can all assume that as soon as Arashi does another tour, I will be going to every single show.  Or, at least as many as I can afford to go to.  x3  Possibly a Kanjani 8 show, too, if they do a tour while I'm still here.  They look ridiculously fun to have a concert with.  But mainly, this is Arashi's year, and I'mma see my boys in style.  <3

Oh, and if I recall correctly, Cobra Starship is doing a concert or two in Tokyo sometime later in January/February.  I would love to be able to go see that and be all, "HEY I SAW YOU IN IOWA. :D".

Mucc is being dumb and touring overseas currently.  LAME.  C'mon, Tatsuro... You said you'd see me again!  What is this crap touring the states?  Get your ass back here to your own damn country and tour here, bitch.  >[

I made some New Years Resolutions.  Wanna hear them?  Of course you do!  :D

1. Write & send Ohno at least one letter.  I'm here in Japan.  Should I pass up the oppertunity to communicate with my idol?  I think not!
2. Make more Japanese friends.  Ties in with...
3. Speak more Japanese.  Read more Japanese.  Write more Japanese.  I need to keep up with my translating projects and I should watch Japanee TV instead of watching movies on my computer.

Yeah, that's about it.  Other than those three things, I'm pretty damn content with my life at the moment.  :]

Hope everyone else had a happy new year and all that good stuff!  <3

I'm off to bed, as I have to be up early to go visit Nani's host family in Gifu with her tomorrow.  Fun times!  :Db

PEACE.

I AM GOING TO JAPAN.  I AM STUDYING ABROAD AT NAGOYA UNIVERSITY OF FOREIGN STUDIES.  I WILL BE LEAVING THIS AUGUST AND RETURNING TO THE STATES IN JULY OF 2009.

Technically, it isn't completely official yet, since I just turned my application in yesterday, but when I talked with Maria today, I asked her how likely it was that I would be accepted into this program because I needed to know whether or not to let Anne know if I would be living with her next year.  Maria Hope put it this way:

"Don't worry about finding a place to live.  Go call your parents and tell them that you're going!"

So...

I'M GOING TO JAPAN!! :D:D:D

xD;

*sigh*  I love Arashi.

So, Arashi pretty much owns at life.

I'm... okay, because of them.  Stupid boys.  I wonder if they ever think about whether or not their music impacts people.  If they do, I hope they realize that they have a more profound impact than they know.

I'm gonna base the character sketches off of how they look in the We Can Make It PV.  It's gonna be sweet.  :D

This weekend/today almost killed me. Whatever, I hate school.

Speaking of, I should get started on that lab report and do a few more pages of my graphic novella... >_>;;

Okay, so maybe I kind of hate life a little more than I did when I was listening to Arashi.  Whatever.  I'll go back and listen to some more Arashi to make it better.

Is the title to a story I'm writing.  Well, not so much "story" as "fangirly fanfic", but whatevs.

It's about me an' Chelsea in Japan chillin' with (among other things) the boys of Arashi (and possibly other Johnny's boys, I have not decided).


Oh yeah...  Lawls, that'll probably happen, should I ever go over there.

Anyways, I've been writing Study Abroad for the past two hours or so.  I need to go to bed so I can wake up and go to the library and watch that damn movie for Rhetoric.  >_>

Lawls, I hate my brother's new dog.  :D

Oh, yeah, and this icon amuses me because it's so true.  All of those little fuckers could get away with saying that... and having it actually happen.  >_>;;

So, yeah, yay for already closing the gap on my credit limit.  :P

Shopping with gay guys is fun!

My mom said she was gonna come up today so I could sign the tax papers or something because apparently I need to.  But she hasn't called yet to tell me she's leaving.  I haven't gone to the library to watch that silly movie for Rhetoric because I don't wanna have to run back when she calls me.  Whatevs, I'll go watch it tomorrow or something.  The library doesn't close 'til 10:00 tonight.

Aaaanyways, my brother got a dog.  Her name is Autumn and she likes chasing my cat.  >_>;

And I got a bunch of new DS games and I can't seem to stop playing them.  I got Nintendogs, the Lab & Friends one.  I have a lovely little Shiba Inu pup named Captain.

... I'M NOT OBSESSED.

omgiwanttodosatoshisofuckingbadly!

Fuck.  I was trying to go 24 hours without saying his name.  >_>  I totally just squee'd it.

Whatevs.  I'd still jump his bones.  :P

So, Chelsea's a dork.  But, so am I.  xP

Old people are cool... As long as they aren't messaging you online... >_>;;

The stuff used to clean the urinals makes my arms red and splotchy and itchy.  The fumes from the other cleaning stuff makes me crazy in the brain.

I like ordering an assload of McNuggets at 1 in the morning.

I wanted to be in bed two hours ago.  Damn you, Makudo, Chelsea, and Study Abroad!  *shakes fist*

Okay, I really just wanted to use this icon because it amuses me.

Shaddupihateloveyou.  >_o;

Okay, so, the lease has been signed.  I am now officially moving to 507 N. Linn Street as of August 1st, 2007.  Chelsea is officially my roommate.  I am officially going to be a resident of Iowa City, Iowa.

FUCKIN' SNAP.  =D

Such a good way to start the week, especially after that weekend.  And I should be getting some of the shit I ordered this week, too.  :D

Anyways, we're gonna have an apartment-warming party and all that jazz.  'Coz we're awesome.  ^_^ b

I'm gonna... go do that lab I was trying to do earlier but couldn't because I couldn't reprint it because I used up too much bandwith and I have to wait until Friday to hook my computer back up.   D<

But I'm tensai because I found a way around ResNet's silly little rules.  >D

Oh, yeah, did I mention Fall Out Boy is coming to the Mark?  And Chelsea might go to see them with me.  ^_____^

So, I got paid on Tuesday, right? I pay $50 to my credit card debt, right? But... I check my monies online, and suddenly I have $500+ worth of available credit.

My credit limit has been mysteriously raised...

Uh... I will not spend it, I will not spend it, I will not spend it, I will not spend... any more of it... >_>;;

Paid account for Chelsea for a year, plus 100 more user pics for both her and me!

Yay userpics! xP

In other news, it's freakin' freezing in my room. Like, seriously colder than it is outside. WTF?

Also, Chelsea and I turned in our applications for the apartment yesterday. We have an appointment on Monday to sign the lease! Everyone be excited!

I have a new obsession with torrents. I will eat all my bandwidth and not have internet access. But I will have oodles of Jdoramas and new jpop/jrock. I think it's a fair trade. :P

I really don't have anything else to say. OMG I <3 OHNO.

'Kay, I'm done. >_>;

Got that stupid Rhetoric presentation done and out of the way.  Yosh.

I need to reschedule that appointment for meeting with my academic adviser.  I need to talk to him about perhaps adding International Business or International Studies stuff.  Because I decidedly want to work in the music business in Japan.  AKA, I want to work for Johnny.

My Neighbor Totoro and a nice, long, hot, steamy shower made me feel wonderfully better.  As long as certain things don't happen, I will continue to feel wonderfully better.

By the way, I love when my roommate works.  I get to sit around in nothing but my towel.  I love it!  ^__^

So, tonight, before D&D, I will sit here and continue to improve my mood by listening to Arashi and News.  Perhaps some Golf & Mike thrown in for fun.

And then after D&D I will read for lecture tomorrow.  And by tomorrow, I secretly mean Friday.  And I'll whip a few more pages for my novella out of my ass or something so Rachel doesn't yell at me.

Oh, my god, I think I just had an orgasm.  I realized I don't have to wake up until 2:30 tomorrow and 12:30 Friday.  OH, GOD YES~~~!!

So, tomorrow, whenever I decide to wake up, I will go either make an appointment to meet with my adviser or actually just have a walk-in meeting with him, depending

And, perhaps, Chelsea and I will finally get around to calling to look at apartments...  >_>;;

Wow, I'm in a good mood!  NewS and long showers do that to me, I guess!  ^____^ v

OMFJP, I love Satoshi.  SSSSSSSSSSEEEEEEEEXXXXXXXXXXX WITH RIIIIIIDAAA~~~~~~~~!!!!!!

...Done.

It's 4 AM. And I'm still awake.

...

What the fucking hell??

I got some new icons. And I got a new LJ Mood (credit to care_chan !)

I got to talk to Becca, too. Hopefully, she'll be comin' up tomorrow morning to drop her brother and his finance off back at their apartment up here.  If we plan it right, she and I will be able to do lunch!  ^_^  It'll be the first time I've seen her since break.  I'm excited!  I love Becca~ <3<3

*sigh* We'll leave this weekend with a smile on our face, however fake.  Here's to hoping this week will give me a reason to really smile, ne.

Chelsea isn't online for me to fangirl with.  And Aaron isn't around for me to fangirl at.  So.  I shall fangirl here.

Aiba: xD  AIBA.  I love you.  You're so cute!  And you're prettier than me!  ;-;  No fair...!  ...AIBA.  XD  STOP BEING HYPER.  No one can keep up with you!  xD

Nino: You.  Are.  Amazing!  Gah!  Nino!  >_<;; GAH!  Don't be emo!  :P  Keep being that strange combination of cute and hot, though.  It works.  You pull it off.  And make me die whenever I see you.  :P

Sho: SEEEEZZZXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX,  With you!  >_o;  You big, fat, dork.  I hate you.  >_>;;  Seriously.  Stop being hot.  Just... Go die.  ............  After you've had sex with me.  xP

Ohno: I.  Want.  You.  a;lsdjfaldkj SEXWITHYOU.  NOW!  You, dripping with sweat and dancing makes my day instantly better.  Hell, you in general makes my day instantly better.  GHA!  >_<;; RIIDA.  <3<3<3  It amuses me how you are shorter than the juniors.  xD  GAH!!!  >_<;;;;;  Ohno.  lajsdf;lakjsdfa GAH!.  x_X;  You dork!  I want to do you!  >_o;

Okay... I've got the majority of my fangirling out of the way.  Perhaps now I can get some sleep, ne?

xD WTF, Sho? <3

Anyways, it's been a while since I updated. I've been in kind of a roller coaster of a mood over the last week or so, but the last couple of days have put me in a mood I hope will never be destroyed.

I met Courtney, Chelsea's little sister, finally over the weekend. Bort, Chelsea, me, Yuto, and Anne went to see いおじゅまからのてがみ on Saturday.

OMFJP.

BEST.

MOVIE.

EVAR.

Seriously. And I'm not just saying that because Nino-kun was in it. He's actually an amazing actor. I didn't know this, but Chelsea told me that he started his acting career before he even joined Arashi. I was surprised by this. But after watching Letters, this tidbit of information does not surprise me at all. I'm so proud of Nino-kun! <3

Then yesterday, I rode with Chelsea to drop Courtney back off in Dysart. That was super fun! As we got closer to Chelsea's house, I got more and more worried about being attacked by one of the many resident (gomen na, I can't spell...) rotweilers. But it turned out alright. Nacho scared me a bit when I got out of the truck, especially when he growled, but he didn't jump up on me like Kazu did. I was a little uncomfortable with that, but I survived.

The puppies are so cute! I was looking at them and wondering just how I could be afraid of something so small and adorable. And Mittens seems to tolerate me, which is good, since I'll be living with her next year.  But seeing her and Chelsea made me miss my kitty... ;-;

Anyways, I finally got to see the Nastyface-less roadtrip!  ^_^ v  OMG, I realized how much I'm in love with Satoshi.  He's such a dork!  But I would so have sex with him.

Speaking of, I hope I'm able to go to Japan this summer.  Then Chelsea and I can kidnap Anne and Yuto and take them either to Music Station or to an actual Arashi Concert.  'Coz they will be touring this summer.  OMG, if I don't go... I don't even want to think about how horribly depressed I'll be.

Well, that's my update for the time being.  I'm gonna go fangirl over my boys for a few more minutes before I rush off to class, ne.
