Open Post: An Introduction of Sorts

[gimmick_game]

I've had a lot of new people friend me in the past day or so (probably from my most recent mod post? IDK...) and so I'd like to get to know those of you that have added me that haven't commented on my f-only post. In exchange, I'm posting an introduction! It's been a while since I've made a post like this, and it seems appropriate now, doesn't it?

SOOOOOOO jealous of the fact that you got to see w-inds and arashi live... got to sit at sho's press conference and got to TALK TO AIBA ON THE PHONE (asfjladjflkdajfalkfjda) *flails crazily* WHAT!?!? His mom let you... djalkfduioafjrelakfjidaofe I wanna talk to aiba on the phone!!!!! >//////////////////////////<

LOOOL they were both awesome shows and I'm super happy I got the opportunity.

Seeing Sho wasn't something I'd expected. I had no idea what the press conference would entail or that I would be like...8 feet from him. XD The Aiba thing, too, was a complete fluke. We happened to go before a lot of white foreign fans started going so it was really surprising to Aiba's mom that we even knew who her son was. She was so thrown off by us being there in the first place and was all worried because the menu didn't have any english on it at all. XD We had to assure her several times we knew enough to read a menu. It just so happened he called the restaurant while she was upstairs grabbing something for us and she just...handed me the phone. I love that woman dearly, she has the patience of a saint, I swear. Between raising Aiba and Yuusuke, running a restaurant like that for so long, and dealing with fandom on a daily basis? SAINT. TRUE SAINT.

Wait... u were 8 FEET away from sho!?!?!? Im so jealous right now i could cry.... ;A;

and i kinda wish i was white now... XD but aiba mama is seriously amazing huh? Ive heard a lot of people say that shes super polite, energetic, and friendly even to really rude/ obnoxious fans... <3 man i want to go meet her too... >

He was so sleepy but it was still pretty awesome. XD I had to try and stop shaking and that was VERY hard.

I think the fact was we were really the first non-Asian fans she'd seen come to the restaurant. It was 2007 and they still hadn't QUITE reached their insane popularity like they have now.

Every time I've been around her, she's been nothing but courteous, even with my fail!japanese. The last time I was there was Sho's birthday and she seemed a bit frazzled from the massive amount of people there (I got to the restaurant at like...10am and barely made it in for lunch before they closed at 3.) but she was still willing to come back downstairs during the break between lunch and dinner to accept something I'd made for her. (And she let me cry on her when she hugged me for it because I knew I probably wouldn't be able to come back again, which I explained.)
