WORDS!
Reply to this meme by yelling "Words!" and I will give you five words that remind me of you. Then post them in your LJ and explain what they mean to you.

+ CLAMP
Oh yes, this is a great one to start with. I have CLAMP to thank for my absolute adoration of Japan. Wish was my first CLAMP manga, although xXxHolic followed right after. And I've been in love with them ever since. I mean - how magical can one group of five women get while drawing mystical worlds, flaily!faily characters and epic win characters, the cutest mascots I've ever seen, always find a way for somebody to lose an eye, and write manga where they always leave you going as;dlkghal;kghaglk multiple times. Yep, they deserve loads of love. Plus, thanks to them, I always have something to read when my classes get cancelled unexpectedly. Now that is love. XDD But seriously, the stories they write are always so touching and complex and just totally magical that it just touches the inner fangirl and me and I feel like I'm on an adventure with them. I've never been disappointed in them yet. *nods*
+ Sho
O-oh yes, this. Ahem... Sho~♥ Once upon a time (about a year ago), I used to have this image of idols/stars, and I didn't care for them. I could like the movies/shows they were in, but that was it. I didn't know names or particularly care about their lives. Nor did I fangirl about them. I know, shock, right? Because now I'm the exact opposite, sort of. My image of idols used to be all bad ones, based on the kinds of things I would hear over here in America about them - all horrible, wacked up stories and drama, unhappiness and crap. So when I realized that there were happy, sparkly, rainbow-colored idols in Japan, my views changed. I-I fell in love with them, truly. There are idols out there who truly aren't all drama, but can be happy, dorky, fail-ing, adorable, sexy, winning people.
Sho, in particular, is my ichiban. Because his sense of fail reminds me all too well of myself. But he's just always been the one who makes me smile the most. The things he says, the things he does, his sense of humor, his smiles - I don't even recognize myself sometimes, but I don't think it's a bad thing, because I think I definitely smile more now... a LOT more. And it's thanks to Arashi and their sparkly rainbows. It's kinda silly, but it really feels inspiring, like a brightness that's infectuous. ♥
+ Skies
I always used to look at my feet when I was younger. Now, I'm trying to look up more often. Seeing the big blue sky used to make me feel small, but now it makes me smile. It really feels infinite and beautiful, and sometimes it does the most gorgeous things right when you need something to uplift your spirit. I love looking at the sky and trying to be more positive when I'm feeling nervous, anxious or downright sad. For me, it's important to stop and look up - feel the peace and beauty of the world around you, look down at yourself, think about it, and then, with a clear head and mind, walk forward with a deciscive heart, rather than trying to push on forward, blindly.
+ NYC
The place where you can never be bored. Also, fear for your life. But seriously, you have to open your eyes a lot when you go there. It's so bright and lively and it's kinda nice to be a part of all the hustle and bustle. No one in particular has to stand out. People show artwork and perform fun, up-beat music in the streets, and there's so much to do that you can never hope to do it all. But it leaves you satisfied in the end. Seriously, it's something you should experience at least once. Big cities have this beautiful energy of their own, with all the lights and people and things to see and do~ it's overwhelming.
+ Manga
I used to read a lot before I started reading Manga. And what I think is the coolest is that I haven't started reading any less since I started. Now I read books AND manga, and I feel like I get more out of it. Seriously, manga is one of my guilty pleasures~ I love fantasy, and humor, and there's so much of it in manga. I feel like I almost instantly get drawn into it. The artwork and the words make it so that you can almost picture a whole movie in your head. You can relax and follow the story. And the art adds a dimension that sometimes words just can't. It's fun and just something I've always loved. I can't imagine NOT reading manga anymore.
