Tonight's big group movie! || deeper meaning, what?

[ltgmars]

Prince Caspian! I watched it with a big group of girls in my apartment. I love watching movies with people in big, loud groups. :3

I really love the Narnia movies. The music is incredible, and the cinematography is just beautiful.





He'll be legal soon, shut up. (The first picture is included because he's wearing a tie and suspenders around his waist, yessssss.)

(Also, I realized this recently: A lot of the people whom I find attractive remind me of people I know. The one who plays Edmund (♥ Skandar ♥) looks a lot like a kid I had a crush on for five years in grade school. Nino looks (specifically in certain mannerisms and facial expressions) like one of my best friends from high school, whom I also had a crush on for a while.)


But seriously, the scene in which Lucy is walking in the forest and the flower petals float up around her? Absolutely breathtaking.

I don't remember much of the books, so I can't comment on how well it stuck to the original story, etc., but I do think it was a lot of fun. And if you buy into the allegorical subtext, it was pretty uplifting, too.


Somewhat relatedly, I was bumming around Wikipedia and read all about the claims of sexism/racism in the series, and all of the "literature in response" by Pullman, Gaiman, et al. I'm the kind of person who gets lost in a story and completely misses everything that's actually being said unless I'm looking for it (even now, I often miss really "blatant subtext", per se), so it kind of took me by surprise. It makes me feel like a failure of an academic when I read something for class and people raise their hands and talk about how this-and-such is flawed in this-and-that way or clearly a reference to that-and-the-other philosophical idea or religious practice or political struggle and I'm like whaaaat where did you see that. I've always been so bad at reading things critically; it's such an intellectual impediment.

Basically, I feel stupid all the time, like I'm always missing the big picture when it's loud and clear. Which is why I wanted to read more this summer. Speaking of which, where did I put that book...?

I do not detect anything truly racist or sexist in Narnia. There are many good female role models who do non-traditional female things, as well as traditional ones (neither option is portrayed as totally negative). And there are good people of all kinds- even the Calormenes have their share of good people and do not really parallel or represent any particular country or religion. I hope they base them on Ancient Egypt and Kemet if they make a Horse and His Boy movie- that way nobody can claim that they are bashing Islam.

[ltgmars.livejournal.com]

I was waiting for your comment, Heidi. :D

I really don't remember any of it, so I think I want to go back and read it all again. I have a hard time believing that a series that hinges so much on the successes of its female characters (often in the face of the mistakes of its male characters) can be that sexist, but the response literature also sounds like it's worth reading. Maybe I'll just read it all and formulate my own opinions for once.

I think I'm giving myself too much to read this summer, haha.

[eternitat.livejournal.com]

I just started reading A Tale of Two Cities today. Well, listening to it on audiobook while I drive my car. I put a few other audiobooks on hold and found one on print that I want to read this Saturday if I have time. But first I have to work on my research project.

[rebecka-jo.livejournal.com]

i think that little raven-headed boy was much hotter in the first movie, when he was 12.

and i think narnia is incredibly christianist, and lewis was rather obnoxious in that way, but that's about it. i realized this even when i was young, but it remains one of my favourite series of all time. it's fantastic. and, i swear to our lord jesus christ, when i was in elementary school reading these, i fantasized that edmund and peter were a couple.

(is defriended)

and, honey, i'm reading a full-legth novel every week for my lit. class. just remember that someone intellectually inferior is doing it - so, so can you!

i'll just leave this here.

[jenhime.livejournal.com]

I think that the sexism is the most blatant in LW&W, when Father Christmas explains that the girls don't get weapons because they don't belong in battle. There's much more subtle sexism in the fact that all the strong, traditionally powerful women are considered evil and the "good" women are stereotypically feminine (caretaking over might). And, of course, Susan's exit from the series is less than fair-handed -- basically, she becomes too womanly for the imagination, goodness and purity required for Narnia.

For racism, the book that springs to mind is A Boy and His Horse -- very anti-Arab sentiments in that story. And although I say that, I still think that it's my favorite book for the series. Of course, when you consider who/what Lewis was, it's no surprise that anti-Islam, anti-Orient sentiments exists in the books. He is, after all, a product of his time and his studies.

But even more glaring, I think, there's a lot of racism present amongst the more magical inhabitants in Narnia throughout the entire series. It's easy to overlook that racism because (like wizards vs. goblins in the Harry Potter stories) it's harder to recognize it out of the context that we're used to. The battles tend to be divided on fairly xenophobic grounds -- and a lot of it looks like pretty=good and ugly=bad. (It kind of reminds me of the anti-native sentiment that exists in a lot of colonialist writings.)

[ltgmars.livejournal.com]

Lewis is indeed thick on the Christianity. It's a reason my high school chemistry professor loved him and was inspired by him and every once in a while read passages from him in class. (Then again, I did go to a Catholic school, so.)

Fatal flaw in your "I can do it and so can you" reasoning is that I don't consider you my intellectual inferior. Far from it, actually. (^0^)b

... WHY.


Ohno puts on a happy face for the fans, but at home he sits alone and cries because the skin under his fingers never belongs to the person he truly wants.

[rebecka-jo.livejournal.com]

wait, you're catholic? i thought you were indonesian. oh, speaking of, i have never, to my knowledge, seen an indonesian person before. so i did some research on the nation and i feel very enlightened. yet ashamed that i knew nothing about the world's fourth most populous country. D:

i love my mail alerts. NEW MESSAGE RECEIVED OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG. yes, i set up custom mail alerts. ahaha. sigh.

so during the interview (which was so lovely; lasted for two and a half hours, but <3 it made me so happy) i got stung by a yellowjacket. :( IS THIS YOUR RETRIBUTION?

don't ever use (^0^)b this face again. i feel like you're mocking me.

damn watermark. admit it; juntoshi has raw sexual tension, while ohmiya is ~*~platonic fanservice~*~

this is what i would do to you if i were there. pat your stomach reassuringly. i know it's hard, loc-nezy (new nickname alert!), but one day you will see that jun is the superior arashi member/ human.

[ltgmars.livejournal.com]

Susan's final bow is really interesting to me. Is it explicit that Susan's becoming womanly is specifically about her gender and not about adulthood in general? Perhaps it's adulthood and sexuality in general, as symbolized by her various forays into womanhood (because she is a woman), that block a person's passage into Narnia. Or is it more that because Susan is a woman, she is more likely to fall into sexuality and out of the graces necessary to get back into Narnia? (Again, I'm far removed from the books, so I'm asking mostly because I don't really remember, and I'm trying to dig deeper.)

I'm glad you mentioned the creature racism. When the evildoers who were trying to win over Prince Caspian came into the picture (apparently that scene wasn't in the book?), a friend of mine mentioned how she thought the grotesque creature with the beak was cute, and I immediately disagreed. But it's exactly that kind of division -- good = light and pretty, bad = dark and ugly -- that is almost a given it seems in so much of children's literature and media. It's not a stretch at all to go from there to racism. So maybe that division of good and evil along aesthetic lines is just another way in which the beliefs and education of the creators come forward.

At the same time, though, how much of that psychological assumption is too much? Is it fair to say that every time author X's bad guy is ugly, it's her subconscious that made her write it? Is she really that much a product of her society that everything she writes is dictated by an overarching societal trend toward one belief (say, good = pretty and bad = ugly) over contradictory others?

But on the other hand, subconscious undoubtedly plays a huge role in so many aspects of our lives, so it is ever fair to leave society/environment/upbringing blameless?

And really, should there be a reason for everything? Is it really necessary to pin something as responsible for the way a person writes? Can't we just read a story for fun?

Ahaha, I rambled incoherently about things I don't understand. Forgive me. (Psychological projection/supposition is so fun!)

[ltgmars.livejournal.com]

My dad's Catholic. (He is Indonesian. It was a point of contention when my Muslim-familied mother wanted to marry him. Apparently because of that, their wedding wasn't lawfully accepted or something, so on my brother's and my birth certificates it says we're "born out of wedlock" (to an unmarried woman) even though they were married when we were born. Either that or they really weren't married, and they were lying about their wedding anniversary for 23 years. Though I feel like my parents aren't devious enough to pull that off.) They decided Catholic school would be a better education for us. Whether or not that's true has yet to be determined, since I never went to public school and therefore know nothing of the environment there, but being non-Catholic at a Catholic school did help me to appreciate God in the context of questioning the "infallibility", if you will, of the Catholic Church (and of organized religion in general). Funnily, all of my really close friends were the ones who were either Catholics who openly questioned (argued against) Catholic doctrine in class or the ones who weren't actually Catholic.

Aw, yay for good interview. If I ever want to grow up to be a Smart Person one day, I'm going to have to learn how to learn about people through interviews, too. Augh. GRE! *shakes fist at the world*

Also, re: Jun -- Crying. Also, I hate that you're been in the fandom longer, because you always have more/better/giffier pictures than I do.

... Um. Remember how awesomely sullen Nino is? Yes? ♥ So much more sullen than Jun. And Ohno wants to take care of sullen Nino, because Nino is most sullen about Ohno.

(Yeah, I don't know.)

[ltgmars.livejournal.com]

Also. (Serious moment here before I go to bed.) I really do think you're brilliant. You're worlds more well-read and well-spoken and critical and level-headed and interested and informed and experienced with the world than I am.

One of these days I'll be decently intelligent, and it's going to be because I met you.

T^T

[rebecka-jo.livejournal.com]

that's incredible about your parents' marriage. i wonder if that's part of sharia law or something? and i do believe private schools, at this time, provide a much better education. but i am a deep believer in the inherent goodness of the public school system; i learned a lot about life, and other people, because my peers were from the projects, and also the beachside.

it's funny that you called nino sullen. i have been considering making a fanvideo of him set to fiona apple's sullen girl. but that song is kind of heavy for jokes; fiona wrote it after she was raped as a young teenager. UGH MORAL DILEMMA, FML.

i actually teared up. wibbling. you're so sweet inez - it means a lot for someone like you (with a better education, many varied talents, a grounded social/ family network) to say that to someone like me.

i'm really glad i got up the nerve to say something to you; i feel like we've made a real connection (SOMEHOW through the arashi gay spams). we should meet up in NYC and paint the town, one day. i haven't been in over a year and it's making me antsy.

i hope you slept well. :x i'll be up until 3am watching videos of maki goto on youtube reading.

oh, and i'll just leave this here.


<3

edit: i also meant to say my dad and mum married so he could get a green card. :Dv just a tidbit.

[sharona1x2.livejournal.com]

I've never been good at reading books with a critical eye, either. I'm way too busy being entertained to notice most of those kind of things. ^_^

:D

[ltgmars.livejournal.com]

(Foreword: This is related, really.) Michelle Obama came to Haverford before the Democratic primaries to get people excited about Bam-Bam, and I remember that she made a comment about how when people talk about the failings of the public school system, she says, "Barack and I are products of the public school system, and look where we are now." A lot of people were touched by that, and it was pretty important for me to hear, too, because up until I came here, I was under the assumption that my private-school education was hands-down better than any public-school education I could have gotten. But the benefits of going to a place where you meet a wide variety of people from vastly different backgrounds, as opposed to staying in a nearly homogeneous community for 13 years, are clearer now that I'm actually out of the homogeneity. (Fun fact: My parents both work at Notre Dame, and I could have gone there for free (in fact, it was assumed that I was going there), but I decided to come to Haverford because I didn't want to spend four more years at a predominantly Catholic private institution. And maybe Catholic university isn't as stifling and one-dimensional as Catholic grade school and high school can be, but I just needed to be in a place where I wouldn't meet the same crowd brought up since diaperhood in the same way.)

FYI, you're making Nino more and more sullen by posting that "Juntoshi" drivel on my LJ. You know, I could very easily declare the law of "This Is My LJ And If You Post Something That I Don't Like I Can Delete It". But since you seem so set on torturing me (DoS?) and I love your comments no matter what's in them (DoM? Perfection.), I'll let them take up my LJ comment space in peace.

If you do ever make it up to NYC in the next year or so, let me know. I only spend seven weeks out of the year away from Haverford (I just realized this), and New York is only a sketchy bus ride away. So. (Be warned that I'm really stupid in person. Like, really, really stupid. I speak in small words and stutters and noises and occasional bad puns.)

i could have gone to notre dame for free.

de. fucking. friend. (weeping silently in corner) what timing! my financial award letter just arrived and it is quite, quite dismal.

but! i am proud of your decision. and your family certainly earned that - so i'm just playing with you :) and i love the obamas for sending their brood to public schools in D.C., as well. (although that they went to 'public schools' is kind of a misnomer, since their real education came from harvard, and yale, but i'll shut up now).

in any case. i've been reading about the cultural revolution in china and esoteric buddhism in medieval japan. so i'm pretty melancholy again - i'm in a permanent nasty mood lately, i'm sorry! too bad i'm working or i'd add some jun/ juntoshi to this post to liven it up (although i . . . will stop if it bothers you, honey. you know how i think i'm so ~*~amusing~*~).

LET'S GO TO NYC RIGHT NOW. sorry, i've a hair trigger. but, seriously, anytime you want to is a good time for me. <3

Re: :D

[ltgmars.livejournal.com]

I see your (theoretical) Juntoshi and I raise you


fuckin' FANGIRL CHINEN.

Ahahaha. (But mostly I'm crying inside. Where is mah Ohmiya~? Besides that one photoshoot a couple of months back where they did their solo shots together, and the adorable cuddly "Crazy Moon" shop photos. You've seen them, y/y?)

No, but seriously. NYC's on you, since I can go basically whenever. Say when and I will be there. ♥ And, like, I'm serious. Let's make a date. I can twiddle my thumbs awkwardly all day as we walk around the city, and it'll be grand.

~*~new york state of mind~*~

[rebecka-jo.livejournal.com]

INEZ IF YOU'RE SERIOUS, I DON'T HAVE CLASSES FROM THE 7TH OF AUGUST TO THE 21ST. A FEW DAYS DURING THAT TIME, WE SHOULD STAY IN NYC. IF I ORDER REALLY FAR IN ADVANCE, IT'S PRACTICALLY ~*~FREE~*~ (THE BUS FARE).

THIS IS ALL CAPS BECAUSE THIS IS SRS BZNS. I MEAN. . . JUST THE THOUGHT OF BEING BACK IN NYC, AND MEETING YOU, MAKES MY SHITTY MOOD 100% BETTER.

oh but can you be away for a few days? i would want to do more than a weekend - maybe a four day thing, because i live at the very tip of the u.s. and it'll take me an entire day to get there. also, rooming. i always stay in chinatown, but if that's too skeevey for you. . . we can sleep in the dumpsters behind the waldorf astoria.

LET'S PLAN THIS OUT. er if you are available in early august that is. if not, i'll go back to being sullen.

OH WAIT, FROM THE 19TH TO THE 29TH OF JUNE I ALSO HAVE A BREAK. BUT THAT'S PROBABLY TOO SOON. i haven't even gotten out of my work clothes yet. i am as titillated and thrilled as chinen when he sees a picture of ohno.

Re: ~*~new york state of mind~*~

[ltgmars.livejournal.com]

AH. SO. The seven weeks out of the year I'm not at Haverford? Three of them are from August 1st-21st. D:

BUT! If there's some way during the upcoming Junetime you can make it up here, I would so be down with that. So, so, so down with it. I do literally nothing all day, and I am never busy ever. If it works for you it works for me. I can be a good fast!planner, too.

Let me know. I hope this happens. *_*

[areyoumsgreen.livejournal.com]

You started a really good discussion! I'm working on being better at uncritical listening -- I feel like academia is often like a bunch of people shouting "look how smart I am!" and only paying attention to each other for long enough to pick up ammunition for the next argument. I really hated reading texts that were written to entertain only in order to write unentertaining papers about them. Happily, I don't have to do that now.

This is a little off-topic, but I feel like my mistake has sometimes been to be critical enough to pick up on something I don't like, and then reject the work. This is the same as school libraries banning Harry Potter because Christian mommies don't like it or Narnia because atheist daddies don't like it. I feel like critical reading should be about listening to the author/director of a text/movie for long enough to figure out why he's saying what he's saying and what he can teach us, and especially taking time to enjoy what he's saying if he wrote it for enjoyment (if you can't (and probably there are times when you can't), that's another story). I feel like I didn't do enough of that in college, and especially not with regard to pop culture, and I'm working on it now.

I think part of what makes you a such a good academic is that you're such a good listener. In personal relationships, being uncritical is sometimes valued, but not so in academia. I think if more people were willing or able to wait with criticism and actually enjoy and identify with the things they're studying, maybe academia would be a better and happier place.

i just read that ohno x chinen

[rebecka-jo.livejournal.com]

thing in duet. wow. wow.

woooooooooow. BLOW-BY-BLOW REACTION TIME. what. i'm bored, i already worked, went to the grocery store, and crocheted. you were asking for it as well.

i really, really hope it's completely scripted. chinen knowing ohno's height off the top of his head?

a sticker of chinen on ohno's handy?

"i don't think you should [go to school with an ohno uchiwa]". good advice, satoshi. i too have seen those AV films where this effete little boy with a crush on his sempai is cornered by a gang of older bullies and forced to-- oh, you're not talking about that? ok.

ohno: do you like being in front of people? because, you know, kazu likes being in front of people when we [manager whispers in his ear]. nevermind.

OHNO CAN NO LONGER DO THE TOP SECRET DANCE. and he has lost that magnificent ass as well (and all the fat has migrated to his face, sigh). jun is looking better and better. . .

and chinen likes TOP SECRET because it's about a gay relationship. this is a true fact.

THIS WHOLE THING IS SO AWKWARD. god, i really really hope chinen is a shrewd, cynical young man. if he is truly an ohno fanboy in anything like this manner, i bet ohno poopie (... s/u) felt so awkward around this weird little jerk. but he is kind of coming across as (and the editor's notes, if they're to be believed at all confirm this, kinda) kind of a creepy old man. if i had one wish ~*~i'd wish to see these tapes~*~

kekekekekekeke I LOVE HOW OHNO ASKED "DO YOU HAVE A GIRLFRIEND" FOLLOWED IMMEDIATELY BY "SO, DO YOU WANT TO GO FISHING?" oh god i am laughing so hard i scared foxy away (good). thank you, magazine editors, or more likely, ohno's absent (or dirty?) mindedness.

dying @ chinen and his "friend" having an OHMIYA sighting oh my god. i am getting erin to buy me a copy of this magazine, because this is one of the greatest ohno moments i've ever witnessed. so full of things i like. satoshi, ohmiya, gay little boys. . .

weekend = fucking made by this (the part the magazine didn't publish!):

ohno: . . . chinen, your eyelashes sure are long.

chinen [blushing]: thank you. i get that a lot.

ohno: . . .

chinen: . . . [nervous]

ohno: . . . d-do you want to go fishing sometime. i c-can take you, if you want t-to go. some. . . sometime.

chinen: yes, ohno-san, you've already asked me. . .

I NEED TO STOP. this pairing is even more delicious than juntoshi. like sweet, sweet cake (coughs).

okay i need to go meditate to cleanse my mind. because right now the only ends i can make from this is ohno on one end, nino on the other, and chinen in the middle. . . . what. he is asking for it.

[ltgmars.livejournal.com]

I've kind of fallen into the trap of latching onto people's comments to use against them. (I do it with my mom sometimes when we're having arguments, but that's mostly because I'm petulant around her.) It feels like that's how I should be participating in class.

Mostly, though, I feel like I never have something groundbreaking or original to say because I can't find it where other people can. I've never been the person to say something that has everyone else in the room nodding or going, "Aha, so that's how it is." And it's a little depressing.

That's one of my main concerns with grad school -- how am I going to do original research when I can't see what other people are saying, much less anything new or different?

Re: i just read that ohno x chinen

[ltgmars.livejournal.com]

Chinen in an Ohmiya sandwich... The little(st) one would love that.

Actually, my blood was boiling like a possessive fanatic (i.e., Kazu) when I read half of the stuff, but the other half was, as you said, so beautifully "creepy old man" that I forgave them all. ♥

But seriously, hahaha... Ah. Ahh, what an amazing article. Chinen's so scary. D:

The whole time when Ohno was talking about fishing and getting sick, he was thinking about the day when his and Nino's funtime was ruined because they were rocking the boat too much. He's so sad that their sexin' will never happen on a boat again, so he's invited Chinen to make up for it. Chinen goes willingly because it's Ohno.

After all is said and [Chinen is] done, Ohno says that he's "100% satisfied". He doesn't mention that Nino was in the corner, watching it all happen with an unreadable (calculating) smirk on his face (In other news, how often did Nino ニヤリ during the Arashi article? So often.).

Fun fact: Stupidly, I tilt my head slightly to the side when I'm reading up-and-down Japanese, so now my head hurts, augh. D:

don't tip the boat over~

[rebecka-jo.livejournal.com]

lolz, my email alert woke me up from my weekly friday-afternoon nap. =~=

i changed my mind. i like thinking about nino teaching chinen how to please ohno. in a very mean-spirited, spiteful way ~ mocking him, but chinen! he can't leave! he wants ohno too much.

(is struck down).

picturing you getting all angry while reading this = A+ that's so cute. you're the true heir unto the ohmiya throne (hangs head in shame). i have strayed far too often.

now i want to make a userpic from the picture of them together with the text "dumb sluts" followed by a picture of nino looking angry. YES WE CAN.

and to which arashi article do you refer? was there one in that same duet? with nino being a grinning snark? link prz.

fun fact: i probably read kanji about as well as ohno did in eleme-- well, now. AND I GOT BIT BY A HORSEFLY JUST NOW, I GOT STUNG BY A WASP YESTERDAY, AND I HAVE ANT BITES ALL OVER MY LEGS. please rescue me from florida ಥ__ಥ (ahaha, that emoji is amazing so distressed).

also, you think that nino is gay?:

he has much to learn. i love/hate korea so hard. ~*~the hottest time of the day~*~ indeed.

i'll leave you alone (weeps) OH BUT LINK PRZ TO THE INTERVIEW. and beta my chinen/ohmiya porn!

EDIT EDIT: NOW WITH ICONAGE. is it bad i laugh at my own jokes?

Re: don't tip the boat over~

[ltgmars.livejournal.com]

That icon. That icon. AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.

I kind of envision Nino's teaching/mocking Chinen by telling him all of the wrong things, and then being a giant douche and saying, "Here's how it's done, bud." And then he and Ohno have a loud, messy, amazing bangfest while Chinen watches in horrified fascination as his prepubescent voyeuristic tendencies surface.

Bugs bite you because your legs are delicious. Mmyes.

... God, Korean boys are so muscular. That's why I prefer Japanese boys -- I like 'em flabby and nonthreatening. And what's great about Nino in particular is that he doesn't (usually) wear makeup or cologne (unless he's rubbing up against Ohno so that they can share, unfufu). His beauty is natural~. :3

(Scans for various interviews, including the aforementioned Arashi Duet stint, here (http://jesychan.livejournal.com/15115.html). Basically Neen's been amazingly kirakira-pretty lately.)

Re: don't tip the boat over~

[rebecka-jo.livejournal.com]

thank you for providing me with linkage, sweetie. nino has been. . . strangely happy ever since his new drama was announced. is inoue mao that awesome? did the bigwigs threaten him? is he back on the prozac? is he getting porked by jun --

OH JUN, YOU ARE SO UNGODLY ATTRACTIVE. groans, moans. he is so beautiful. how can you not see it (sad).

sho is so white and thin. is he bleaching his skin? does he really only eat once a week, on AnS? i approve of all these maybe-dangerous new routes he's taking.

ohno D: needs to stop being out in the sun and smoking so much. and eating junk food - dammit, ohno! your personality isn't strong enough for me to care about you if you seriously continue looking like the a construction worker. and i'm concerned about skin cancer with him, as well. wth japan. if you die, ohno, i am going to be so pissed, because nino will be brokenhearted. and nobody wants that.

nino. . . the hair-behind-the-ear look is my absolute favourite. i can't look at him without thinking awful, terrible, sodomy things. the shame.

WAIT. WAIT. CHINEN DOES HIS HAIR THE SAME WAY.

..............................................

that harlot. grab some stones, inez, some little japanese tart is about to be buried up to his neck in the sand. (crass stoning joke).

alright, i'm out for the night. (inez: thank god). <33333 if i text you drunkenly, don't defriend me, OK?

See, about Jun...

[ltgmars.livejournal.com]

I see it, the attractiveness. I just refuse to acknowledge or condone it. Because it's Jun. :/

Also! I just watched HnA 22 (the summer vacation series is so wonderful), and was really happy to see some cute, subtle Ohmiya. Nino's shy and playful, even though he looks bored as fuck during the tour. (Ohno, as always, doesn't really get it.) It's sad that this stuff was way back in September. This isn't even his peak (that was, say, years ago), but I do want Nino happy, really happy, again. That way we'll see some cute, subtle Ohmiya, eheh.

Maybe that's all just the tin hat talking, though.



The usual walking with an arm over Ohno's shoulders.


See how his fingers linger there on Ohno's sleeve as he's bringing his arms down?


And he flicks him a couple of times.

... yeah, definitely just the tin hat talking.

Have a good evening! I encourage all drunken texts, especially when words are misspelled. ♥

did you buy the cherries?

:Dv but i am happy that my own issue with ice-breaking on the phone has been destroyed. perhaps the spider was jesus himself, bringing us together.

as well, it seems non-no's next theme is ナミダノアラシ (arashi's tears, right?), with the pairing of nino + jun. shut up.

all right, that's all.

Ahhh, I'm sorry I was laughing so much during our conversation. It was with you (deep inside, you were laughing, I promise), not at you. It's just that I haven't had that much fun on the phone for a long time, so. ♥ I'm sorry to hear that the spider has friends, though. GRE.

I don't know what to expect from the next non-no segment. A full-out brawl for Ohno's affections (with Nino coming out on top, and possibly topless in a giant vat of jelly) may or may not be the greatest thing ever.

At any rate, please call again. I'd love to talk even if it's not life-and-death.

I ate about 1.5 pounds of cherries in one sitting. Thanks for that.

A friend (Gabe) came over last night with his ridiculous collection of alcohol, and a bunch of us ended up playing Kings for a while, but I conked out after four shots because I'm such weaksauce. Also, fuck you, Asian glow. D:

Yama Pair. Their love is so geriatric "mature".

omg you left me hanging
