Because sometimes I feel like all I do is post doujinshi and links to other people's stuff.

i guarantee i am more behind than you. it is just that bad. and i have to pass out or else find like $1000 and time i don't have to take an undergrad class. bad bad bad.

[solo]

Oh? Which one do you have to take? Would study buddies be an idea?

At any rate, good luck with that!

[katmillia]

i have no idea which one i have to take. we aren't even sure i have to take it. all i know is that i'm pretty sure i have to test out of a language in august to avoid taking classes, and japanese is the only one i know close to well enough to do, and i have to take a test. we don't know what test it is, but someone thought it was probably jlpt n4. so, idk. i just have ABSOLUTELY NO FREE TIME TO BE STUDYING EVER but hopefully that changes after this damn job ends.

Nothing went wrong. Um, yet. In fact, it now looks as though we might get help and then it'll not be such a nightmare, just nightmarishly expensive.

But the normal process, from over here, appears to be that you find the tickets you want on a particular website, but then you have to get some *other* website to buy them for you because you can't buy direct.

Add to that uncertainty about whether better deals will come up or not, when reasonable deals will vanish, lack of access to yahoo auctions, and general impenetrability of... STUFF...

If I was swimming in money, this would not be such an issue, actually, but trying to make £300 stretch to TWO shows is kind of difficult.

Your computer should play the dvd, and there are clever little programs that stop the dvd player in your computer from settling on one particular region after however many times. Also, most single-region dvd players for TVs can be hacked; just input your brand and model online +hack and see what comes up!

Yay for having fun in Germany!!! :D

I didn't know what water crystals were either :O of course, I don't do much gardening either. I thought they might be some sort of flower <<

Good luck studying for JLPT!!!! And buying tickets D:

[mnemonic_psych]

omg i thought they were flowers too initially XD

ALSO YEAH, GOODLUCK SOLO :D ♥

[razberrycreme]

we're both dorks TT___TT

[solo]

I'm starting to think these crystals are unique to the UK and perhaps banned elsewhere as weapons of mass destruction...

Thank you; will need all the luck I can get!

[mnemonic_psych]

I've never heard of Water Crystals either :o

JPLT, while I'm not preparing or qualified for that, I am having trouble with kanji these days :( it's kind of depressing :/ i love kanji but they just refuse to stay in my head T___T

ksjdhf honestly i have no idea how japanese ticket procedures work >> how do you get a hold of DB tickets >?

they've leaked :o? /behind on everything. what do you think of Run For You? I like the verses but there's something, old-fashioned(?) about the chorus that i just can't get into. NOT THAT OLD-FASHIONED = BAD. but i mean, like old advertisements jingles from my childhood. tho i mean this single is for an ad too right, so that makes sense...in a way.....

THIS. I think they are incredibly useful, but god, how can people remember these things? For me, the worst thing is that I always confuse similar-looking ones because I just don't have that much visual awareness/memory. So 'leg' turns into 'intention' and then I wonder wtf these people are saying!

They've leaked. Your own fault for abandoning the fandom. (MWAHAHAHA!) But I feel exactly like you do about Run For You. I adore the verses, actually, they are so intense and so varied... and then they go, essentially, 'la la la'. The first time that happened I was so disappointed. Now, I'm kind of used to it, and I like the song, but it could have been, idk, more. More *something*. :/

[mnemonic_psych]

yeah, similar looking ones! especially ones with the same radical on one side 8|. for me, my memory for kanji usually works pretty well, which is why it's extra-frustrating. it's grammar structure that's difficult to grasp - i end up going with what ~sounds~ right than having an actual understanding of the rules in certain cases. like は and が :|. why :|.

Ahh I came across the dl links for the single on tumblr earlier today, I'll give them a listen later :). abandoning ksdjfh don't say it like that XD the only fandom-y thing i'm keeping up with is shizaya fanart, partly for the art and partly because I am M and like struggling looking at all the untranslated DJs/pixiv comics and attempting to get the gist of it...and failing XD. Anyways, I'm sure I'll end up liking the song after a few replays but agreed, it could have been more *something* :x. The performances though, and the outfits, and okay hello everyone's faces and hair, are looking great though :') ♥

[solo]

Yeah, the outfits are excellent. And omg Kame, so hot. And Ueda. They seem to have powered up for the performances too... when they started with the dancing like that I thought maybe they wanted to be TVXQ now. ;) (I liked it! It's not a criticism! *g*)

The most fun I've had with KAT-TUN performances in a while!

[becquinho]

Yay for trips to Germany and fun times \:D/

:O I thought everyone knew about water crystals...they're so useful :(

*hugs* good luck with studying <3 and fingers crossed you can get your hand on tickets soon..one way or another >_>;

[solo]

IDK either, about the crystals, I thought they were totally normal until I started getting those weird looks. Oh culture clash, so delightful. But srsly, Water Crystals??

Thank you! ♥
