MIA, me? NEVER...
...Except, I kinda was this past week for some strange, odd reason. And no, the fact that I had released Shige's B-day post, or written one fic involving Pin!het and released two things under akirashocksubs: SC Clip with Shige - Talk and Performance and PapaMusu Episode 1 does not count. (Don't you love that I pimped FOUR different things in just one sentence? I'm special that way.)
But seriously. I have no idea what possessed me to not post for a week and ...just nothing. @.@ I have been following LJ though...Just, not commenting on anything and everything and I'm being very boring, I think. *shrugs* I know I have no life and all, but wow. This reaches levels I thought I'd never reach. Well, except for the last two days. And then next weekend, I'm doing something... And the weekend after. *laughs* So my weekends are occupied. My weekdays, however, are spent on my butt, doing misc. things like timing...and timing... and chatting! There's a fair amount of chatting in there. And the past two days, me and my sisters watched some doramas. So yay! This post might get lengthy. *laughs*
Let's start with this. I went to go see Rupert Grint over at FAO. He did actually go. My friend even has pictures. I, however, did NOT get one single glimpse of him. Which makes me frigging sad because we waited there for a WHILE. T.T It's all because females are MUCH TALLER THAN ME and no matter how much I tiptoe, I CANNOT BE TALLER THAN ANY OF THEM. (I'm only 5'0" after all.) So really. I = SAD. I mean, I was there. I waited. And I STILL COULDN'T SEE HIM. T.T AND HE WASN'T EVEN THAT FAR AWAY. If we talked in terms of rows (if rows had like no spaces between them and people were basically on top of one another), there would be about SIX rows of people between me and Rupert Grint. And just. GUH. I MISSED IT. Thankfully though, my friend got about 6-7 pictures so that was my way of actually SEEING him, buts till. I = SAD.
As for the movie, I've heard many a mixed things. I think there was some talk about how BAD it was or disruptive or some things were disappointing. But, I have to say that I absolutely LOVED IT. OMG. I already expected Evanna to be good when I kept hearing everyone fawn over her and everything, but SERIOUSLY. I didn't expect her to be as great as she was. Her voice was a lot more high pitched than I expected, but seriously. I didn't care because she played the role so damn well! @.@ Speaking of well played roles, UMBRIDGE. As soon as she appeared on screen, I wanted to throw something at her. JUST THAT FIRST SECOND, when she laughed at Dumbledore. I swear. It was an overwhelming URGE. I mean, I already hated her in the books, but seriously, I couldn't believe how quickly the movie just made me wanna shoot her. Onto another topic, Fred and George. I was sad that they left with just the fireworks. I kinda wanted to see that frigging swamp. But really, I just squeaked when I saw them leave and while I totally missed their line to Peeves, it was still so great and just INSANE and just. ja;lsdkfjaslkdfj. Speaking of things I missed, I wish they had made that scene during one of the exams where Harry is asked to do his Patronus. The look on Umbridge's face would've been absolutely priceless. But eh. Live with what I'm given. God. I'd talk more about this movie, but it's all so scattered in my head and I'm going to keep rambling and nobody's seriously going to read this weird paragraph. *laughs* So I'm going to end it here.
Oh! I wanted to squeal about something before I go into another cut. Um. I GOT YAMAPI'S NECKLACE. You know. The one with the stars and three layers and a Y (that really doesn't apply when it comes to me because nowhere in my name does a Y ever show up) but who cares because IT'S YAMAPI'S NECKLACE and I wore it yesterday and friday and thursday afternoon and I just kinda LOVE IT. Next goal of acquirement? TSUBAKI. I just need to find that store that Rhey talked about. I went Thursday, but couldn't find it at the street she said, and couldn't look around long enough because I had to rush to go meet my mom. XP But I WILL GET IT. I swear.
Um. First of all. NEWS SHOKURA. ONE OF THE BEST LINEUPS EVER. Information here. But honestly. One of my favorite things that's on that list? NEWS WO AKABE. OMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMG. I am READY TO SEE THIS. I can't even tell you how excited I am to see this (and time it) because I can already tell you that I am working on this one and the next one and um. I'm going to be beyond greedy (sorry guys) and taking like... everything. @.@ I can't even begin to tell you just how freaked I am to see this. I'm just like A;LKSDFJALKSDFJALSKJFDAKSFJD. SO EXCITED.
Plus. Um. DVD? NUFF SAID.
Still on August. I got my tuition bill for next semester. I don't have to pay ANYTHING. @.@ Usually, my parents have to pay some of it, mainly because my scholarship only pays about 2/5ths of it (and it's really not that big a bill when you compare it to other schools, especially since I don't have to dorm or any other misc billings that oges with these tuition bills) but then I was able to get the Pell Award and now... ...Let's just say my parents should be able to afford giving me money more than they have been giving me over the past two years (and with the fact that I'm going to start Work Study... Hopefully.) I might actually be able to AFFORD things. I just. I can't. OMGOMGOMGOMGOMG. I'M GOING TO BE SO HAPPY WHEN I CAN BUY THINGS. GAWD. Here I come, singles. Or Albums. Or... DVDS. a;lskdjfal;sjdfasd *EXCITED*
Um. Has anyone seen this? je_bigbang. Um. I would be SO THERE. If I wasn't so anxious about this frigging writer's block that I've been plagued with lately. You see, 20,000 would've scared me at first, but then I realized I have actually written a story of that length (and over) except it's not finished. *laughs* And that's only in 7 chapters (yeah. It's a long, LONG original story that's ...just not finished yet. XP) and I think I can do it. I just wish I wasn't so worried about how I'm not able to write anything of substance lately. I also have to think of a plot. So we'll see if I'll join. Speaking of things to write though, boobandboobs is back! ^_^ As soon as I think of somethin related to the theme, I am SO THERE.
Hana Kimi: Guys. Can I tell you all how much I LOVE THIS SERIES ALREADY?! I know. I know. It dithers a bit from the manga (and by a bit, I mean, a lot) but honestly, I am very easy to please (that could be taken pervi-ly but whatever). And the amusement factor (and the fact that some of these guys are really easy on the eyes) is more than enough to pull me in. I mean. Oguri Shun... Drunk and kissing boys whenever he is? It's just. OMG, POINT ME IN THAT DIRECTION. a;lskdfjasldfj. Gawd. I am not ashamed to say that I have rewatched both kisses (especially the one with Toma) multiple amounts of times. I can't even begin to say how much I adore this. I mean, I love the manga and while I would've loved it to be faithful. It WAS over 20 volumes (I think. 26, right? ...Around that range? ...Am I far off?) and seriously, it had a lot of crack in it. How much do you think they could've really kept? XP I'm just saying.
LIAR GAME: Oh gawd. I think I've found one of my top five favorite Doramas in Liar game. Seriously. It was absolutely brilliant and I am dying right now, waiting for the next episode/finale to be subbed because I just REALLY WANT to see what happens. I know some people compared it to Kurosagi at the beginning, but I don't see it. I think they're both extremely different doramas, smart in their own separate way and just... I'm sorry, but despite the fact that Kurosagi has a special place in my heart, Liar Game is really a lot better (I'M SORRY, YAMAPI) in terms of intelligence, creep level and just. Gawd. I love it! I even got my sister, April, addicted to it and we're both ANXIOUSLY waiting until 11 gets released. Which might be a while, I suspect, but it is 3 hours long. So I don't blame them.
Um. Nothing to do with anything, but I think I'm going to be sharing download links to all these Shokuras I had to upload for the sub group. *nods nods* There's a lot there, so I think that'd be good.
Nao kicks off her shoes as she enters her apartment, rushing through her open door and trying hard to catch the ringing phone before it stops. She half wonders if she ever did lock the door behind her but the phone's already in her hand and she's gasping out a "Hello?"
The voice on the other line is always a welcoming one as she hears Hiroto mutter a "Hello?" back to her. She breathes out a sigh of relief and settles herself against the side of her bed, and she listens as Hiroto asks her if he had JUST caught her. She smiles lightly and assures him that it's a great time and she'd dash up STAIRS if she had to to catch his phone call. His laugh is gentle and heartwarming and her heart breaks as she wonders when will be the next time she actually sees him face to face.
He starts the conversation, talking about his little brother and stuff and she nods along, playing with the cord of her phone and twirling it around her finger, smiling as she listens to him practically brag about his brother. She wants to hear all this. She wants to hear this with him right next to her. Not over some phone line where distance separates them. She breathes a little differently and instantly, Hiroto stops with his story and asks what's the matter. Nao almost laughs at being so easily read. "I miss you," she says into the phone and she can almost see his shy smile.
"I miss you too," he breathes back and it's almost makes enough for her to deal with even while they're apart. "I'll be there soon," he tells her and she laughs, telling him that he shouldn't worry about it and that she's okay and strong. She has him to look forward to every night after all. And the conversation ends as it always does. Her falling asleep in bed, the phone still attached to her hand and every morning she wakes up feeling just as sad and lonely as the day before.
A week later, she races towards her apartment as she hears the phone ringing from her hallway. Inside, she finds Hiroto standing inside her living room, his cell phone to his ear. She drops her bags and books and can't help but tear up. "Hiroto?" she whimpers and he tells her with a small smile that he told her he'd be there soon. She flies into his arms and thinks that this is how it should be.
As I said. It's realy utter fail. XP My first attempt at dorama fic. *laughs* Who'd've thought this would be more difficult. Go figure.
Wow. This entry is BEYOND long. Don't you think? Think it makes up for the fact that I disappeared for a week? *laughs* But really. Ahahaa. Maybe I'll be back to spamming everyone's f-list soon. Maybe. I think I missed talking about some things though. Uchi and Kusano and their pictures. (DUDE, SO COOL.) My sister and our walk through Manhattan for 3 hours. (SO TIRED.) Harry Potter and the final book coming out next week. (SO EXCITED.) But really, I missed talking to everyone. I hope to comment to some of the comments from my last entry later today and I so apologize for the delay. I swear I'll get back to them. (I hope I didn't miss anything else. @.@) Otherwise, talk to everyone later! And I hope everyone's in good health and all that jazz. *grins*
