I'm alive!

ltgmarsAfter three days of an on-and-off connection, I finally have interwebs.
During my time away from the internet, I've rediscovered the simple pleasures in life, like snacking on cookies (which honestly I don't do that often, even if the cookies are sitting there in front of me) and Gameboy Tetris. I'm hoping my summer will be just as stimulating and productive.
As for the rest of it, we managed to move everything over to the apartment in time and get settled in. Since Will specifically asked to have his own room this summer (so that he can have wonka-wonka good times with his lady friend) and Andrew isn't quite the kind of guy who would be okay with sharing a bedroom with a girl (also, he has his own lady friend) and we only have two bedrooms in this apartment, I'm stuck in the common room again. But hey, this at least forces me to interact with others (or offend them by sleeping through their conversations right in front of them), so it's all good.
I've had a few "serious" issues running around in my head for the past few days, but they don't really need to be said right now. Just random observations about my privileged life and holding onto old friendships and how ridiculously misogynistic Japanese television is, etc. We can get to them later, if you're interested.
For now, pictures. Cami wanted some. I didn't know what of, so I give you two:
My corner of the common room. I have so much stuff. D:
My gnome pajamas. :D

Date: 2009-05-22 17:45 (UTC)I've been in the common room for a summer before, so it shouldn't be too bad. Mostly I like to make my roommate feel bad about it. :D

Date: 2009-05-21 15:37 (UTC). . . i like your pajamas.
but tits of gtfo! you know what i wanted.:'( i'm playing. okay, i'm going to go be gone all day doing things i hate, yet must do. lucky for you, or it'd go down; i know you're home, come online and talk to me. i know where you live. stop avoiding me.
why do i like you so much. my friends are puzzled by this as well.
P.S. once i ate an entire package of butter cookies (the ones shaped liked flowers with a hole in the middle?) after my boyfriend broke up with me. and, don't hate me, but sometimes i get all the way to level 13 on tetris. :Dv

Date: 2009-05-22 17:47 (UTC)I have a matching gnome top that maybe I'll take a picture of. Someday.
You like me because I'm awesome, clearly. Part of me wants to buy a pair of leather pants just to wear them, because I'm absolutely positive I'd look fantastic in them. (Lies.)

Date: 2009-05-23 04:40 (UTC)So is the spiky-haired one in charge of sultry English wailing in all of their songs? I want to know. I like him. :D FUCK they look so young. D: I mean, even if they're hovering on either side of the age of perceived adulthood in America (which they are, if I'm not mistasken?), it feels so wrong. I'm getting old, I think.
(Oh, how you woo me with your Nino icon. ♥, for serious.)

Date: 2009-05-23 04:51 (UTC)next i'll show up at your living room window, boombox hoisted over my shoulders, blaring naked. then, you will finally give in to me.
motto. . . motto. motto. . . naked.
oh, SHINee. yes, the diva wailer is jonghyun. my least favourite, because he is, well, the diva wailer. and rather tame for my taste, in his persona.
let's see, jinki ('onew' is his stage name, but i call him by his real name, as 'onew' always comes out 'ohno') - he is 20.
jonghyun is 17. ki is 18. minho is 16, taemin is 15. old enough.
jinki is getting his teeth fixed for their comeback. sigh, it brings back awful memories of ohno getting his fixed after how's it going? D: after that happened, satoshi became so calm and
fat.. . . oh my god, did they neuter him?
once more, with feeling.
Date: 2009-05-23 07:11 (UTC)uh. so, when you do reply, reply to this. because it's almost 4am and it worked very hard typing all these words and things.
i just watched the MS. not the perf, the talk. just for you, because i know how much you like my rambling. impressions:
* sho is fucking beautiful. i hate myself.
* lol jun. how dreadful.
* ohmiya giggling.
* i like how ohno puts the microphone to his mouth, and lips words, but no sound comes out.
* why are 3/5 of arashi darker than my indo-trinidadian self?
* i very greatly enjoyed aiba talking. because the camera angle gave me a perfect view of ohno biting his lip, and looking confused, and laughing delay-ed-ly. he's a 'tard. sigh.
* "you did it on a ship?" nino smiles wistfully, nostalgic. yes. . . once.
* nino has an incredibly beautiful little face. i love his eyes. they're so expressive. i cannot wait for him to have little neen beans. and hopefully one of those children will write a tell-all about their famous father. growing up, i had a lot of "uncles". no relation, of course, but father ninomiya was always bringing men home - from "work" - and mother allowed it, terrified that any sign of protest would set father dearest into one of his snark-fests, followed by forced magic show attendance. so we all smiled for uncle satoshi, uncle jesse, unkle cracker.
* i had to add the uncle jesse, unkle cracker joke in there because i was getting way too serious.
* i love how pleased ohno looks after he says his one line. yes, he's like this, always.
i am slightly scarred because my good friend tasha thinks ohno is literally one of the ugliest people she has ever seen. ohmiya infuriates her - she is a nino admirer, and she cannot comprehend why nino seems to be physically attracted to ohno. she said, yesterday, that she now thinks it's a scam to make ugly fangirls believe they can be lusted after by gorgeous idols.
i blocked her, jokingly, for a few days. and i mean blocked her phone number, not her lj account. some die to make men free, i'd die to defend ohmiya.
. . . :Dv?
Re: once more, with feeling.
Date: 2009-05-23 17:28 (UTC)Speaking of Ohmiya ('cause seriously, that's what needs to be discussed), I watched Sho's appearance on Zoom in Super, which I wouldn't have downloaded had it not been for the screenshots with the Ohmiya mini-uchiwa he was holding, and apparently our two little lovebunnies left a little message while Sho was recording.
Ohno: （ニノは僕のことどれくらい好きなの？） Nino, how much do you love me?
Nino: （すごく好きだよ。） I love you a lot.
Ohno: （じゃ、翔きゅんは？） Then what about Sho-kyun? [demanding Sho's response]
One point for still loving each other after all these years, and five more for using it to make Sho feel awkward.
P.S. 574.309.1994. Call anytime, though I'll warn you that I hate using the phone and I'm ridiculously
Re: once more, with feeling.
Date: 2009-05-23 20:11 (UTC)ahaha, i'm like every stereotype of a predatory lesbian (y). i promise i'm just kidding, because i think it's funny.
mostly.wait. is that your phone number or is the 1994 making fun of my pedo tendencies. er. mine is eight-one-three, three-nine-one, six-eight-zero-four.
:Dv don't ever call me, i'll try to talk to you for three hours. wait, no, call and leave me a message. you know i'm always at work, but getting off (nudge) and hearing a message from you would be amazing. so do it. DO IT.
:3 ohmiya. i love how gorgeous nino is in that awful new pv (thanks for the screencaps, i gave up before i got to that part). seriously, he must be drinking baby blood or something, he looks great lately.
also, have you noticed jun moving in more and more on ohno lately? as gross as jun looks recently, juntoshi resonates with me. i know what it's like, jun, to be awkward and tragically homely, hitting on someone you look up to, persevering in the face of their ~distant ways~.
COUGHS.
Re: once more, with feeling.
Date: 2009-05-23 17:46 (UTC)I'd make it into a gif if Will weren't so needy and rushy and all that. Apparently we have to go get lunch now. But I'll leave you with that sequence for now.
They make it so, so easy.
short crazy moon musing.
Date: 2009-05-24 17:07 (UTC)PV:
2.04-2.07 somewhere around there, ohno feels himself up.
2.22-2.24 somewhere around there, behind sho, nino is incredibly queeny.
i love the excess of greasy jun whispering. i know how much you enjoy the husky skeeviness and finger gun. rawr.
ohno looks great. the rest look like me after i haven't showered for two days, and go into an air-conditioned environment after being out in the humid sun. sticky. not in the good way, jun.
MUSIC STATION:
lipsynced. really? really?
nino. i'm not calling him 'nino' anymore - he is now, officially, ninomiya, emperor's consort, magnificent empresses in the divinity of the rising sun. did - did you see the eye rolls?
jun, for once, lost the cornering-the-camera-for-coquetting contest. but it was a nice showing.
y yes i did this in paint, at work. okay bye.
Re: short crazy moon musing.
Date: 2009-05-24 21:29 (UTC)Neen's been particularly queeny as of late. It adds to his beauty somehow.
Jun is greazy -- that's skeazy and greasy. I sincerely miss the days when he was a nice boy with wholesome values.

Date: 2009-05-24 21:41 (UTC)can you believe i'm still at work. helping local AP history students with their year-end project. they're whinging - the library closes in 30mins, and doesn't open tomorrow, and their project is due on tuesday. THEY'RE WHINGING AT ME.
shouldn't have waited until last minute. pfft, i signed up to be a librarian, not a babysitter of pretentious seventeen year olds. what is your job, btw? it sounds amazing - how is it that you get to use the projector/ watch tv/ not be miserable?
please look at these things i made last night, misguidedly thinking i'm hilarious:
Re: ♥
Date: 2009-05-24 22:13 (UTC)During the school year I work in three places:
- CDO (Career Development Office, which is the general office job; it involves answering the phone and smiling and people and the like)
- LLC (Language Learning Center, which is where I have all of the awesome equipment and basically I get paid to sit around and goof off and/or do my homework and/or sometimes install things on computers)
- Networking and Systems (a part of the computing center, where I get to plug wire A into port B, but not in the sexy way).
This summer I'm working to develop Flash videos of grammar and cultural points for a French professor, despite not knowing French. Eventually having this kind of skill may pay off when it comes time to sell my body to the working world, but for now I basically sit around at home and more or less get things done at my own pace.
None of this is going to be helpful when in a year I've (successfully?) pulled through college and will be trying to figure out how I can dedicate my life to teh gays (future field of work if I can help it), but it pays the bills for now. Not that I have bills. I just wanted to sound adultish.
Ogu-san's face is priceless. So, so priceless. He's like dead weight on that set sometimes, but every once in a while he'll come in and play his perverted old man role perfectly.

Date: 2009-05-24 22:43 (UTC)(DEFRIENDS FOR REAL).
i don't know what i'm more angry about. that, or the fact that foxy had her nose in chaerin's (my female beta fish) bowl when i got home.
EDIT: 10 mins later: or the fact that i fucking dropped my supper all over the kitchen floor. my vegan curry dumplings! NOOO. now all i have to eat is edamame. do you see how hard my life is?
i am :x shocked at the number of jobs you have. now i feel almost a little bad for harassing you constantly. almost a little. so, three jobs, and no bills. . . now i understand how you can afford those arashi dvds.
as well, i'm more in awe of you now. you know computer technical things, in addition to gender things. and a list of fantastic schools. i'm sure the job market has a niche for such talent. :> me, i can barely turn my computer on. well, that's not completely a fair comparison. you're asian - it's to be expected. actually asian, i mean, not asian-by-way-of-the-caribbean like me. we indo-trinis are good at drinkin' and dancin', but not none de innanet stuff, mon.

Date: 2009-05-25 01:06 (UTC)Re: your latest post -- Foxy is really adorable. Just think about that the next time she terrorizes you and/or your loved ones. ♥
Also. Being trufax Asian gets me a lot of things, including an affinity for eating rice. I'm such a good rice eater. I could eat nothing but rice for the rest of my life, and I'd be totally happy with it. I'm not stereotypical at all.
Re: ♥
Date: 2009-05-25 01:24 (UTC)no, inez. you're supposed to say i'm really adorable. :( i have a fever atm, you know.
you give me feverno, really, i feel like crud. so quit playin' game w/ my heart?i laaaaughed at your i'm such a good rice eater. it seems so earnest, and i heard a voice say it in my head (not crazy) and it was perfect.
Haro!
