Two weeks until Hit The Lights and Every Avenue!  <3 <3 <3 And I found a couple of girls to go with me!  :D  Yeah!!!  I am so beyond pumped for this shit!

In other news, it's incredibly likely that I will in fact be going to Fuji Rock.  That's right.  Let me say it again in big caps:

I AM MOST LIKELY GOING TO FUCKING FUJI ROCK FESTIVAL :D :D :D :D :D :D

Bonus to being able to go to Fuji Rock: I'm going with a very pretty boy by the name of Keisuke.  :3  We'll have to spend lots of time together before the concert, you know, to get to know each other and to plan out how we're gonna get there and where we're gonna stay and all of that kinda stuff.  >3  :Db

Hey all. I'm still alive. :)

Doing pretty fucking awesome as of late. Last night was the Gender Bender party. I dressed up - taped my chest down and pinned my hair up and everything. Yusuke was there. Hung out with him most of the night. :] Got a little tipsy, got a little touchy - there were no objections. ;]

He couldn't stress enough how free he is this week - Golden Week - and how I shouldn't hesitate to invite him along if I end up going out or something. :3  I'm just a bit hung over today, so, today's not going to happen (also, I think that kind of seems a bit too eager), but maybe Sunday or Monday, when there's supposed to be a bunch of festivals, I'll give him a call.  He actually doesn't live that far away from me - maybe a 20 minute walk from my apartment.  He said he'd show it to me sometime.  x3

So, yeah, thought you'd all might wanna know that I am indeed still alive, and just wanted to share this bit of news with everyone.  :)

I met a boy.  :3  He's cute and we hit it off.

We're going to the Monkey Majic concert in February.  I'm pumped.  :)

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

I am officially going to see Hit The Lights in concert.  They are pretty much my all-time favorite band (besides One OK Rock, of course).  They have a show in Des Moines on April 12th.  I'm super excited!

And then, when I buy tickets on Monday, I'll be going to see Panic At The Disco, Motion City Soundtrack, The Hush Sound, and Phantom Planet on May 24th in Chicago.  Fuck.  Yes.

Oh, I'm so excited.  Sherwood Concert is in two weeks, and then I have these two amazing concerts to look forward to... Can my life get any more awesome?

Randomly, I decided I'm gonna make a comic.

Okay, so, it isn't actually random at all.  I've been making comics off and on since... well, since I started being bored during class.  o_o;  So, I'm gonna make this comic.  Just for the hell of it.  I just need to decide if I'm gonna make characters and have a story-line or if I'm just gonna do random comics whenever I feel like it.

I'm all bruised and sore.  I wrestled last night.  I won.  :D  But I've got bruises all over my body (especially around my wrists and on my upper legs), so, uh.  not :D.  But I still won!  HA!

I got sent home early again today.  Because we have ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO DO.  In the 5 hours that I was at work, we had a total of three orders.  THREE.  While I am extremely pissed that hours got cut for next week (I have a three hour shift on Thursday.  It is not even worth it to go in.), I completely understand why they did.  *sigh*  At least I'm outta here in a week.
