Well, it's been a long while since I've had a normal, personal sort of post, so I think I'll do one right this very second. I'll begin with something that's been on my mind a while.
KISSING.
Now, hopefully, no one that this certain action could concern happens by my blog and reads this post. I honestly doubt it, but it's still possible because I went public with my Vox not too long ago by posting the link on my Facebook (WooooOOoooOOoo). Then again, I made sure to hide the story so no one would go rummaging ... and it's hidden between 4 other links... but yeah, anyway. Kissing.
I know not to worry about it. It'll come back to me. But the fact of the matter is, I'm still freaked out. I even dreamed about kissing during my nap today. (With Nino, of all people. How bizarre. What was he doing in Nebraska, anyway?)
It'll be two years this January since I've been kissed last. And that was my first boyfriend too. Granted, we dated a year and did our fair share of smooching and snogging, but still! Two years! TWO. YEARS.
Essentially, I'm paranoid. And I also feel bad for the next person I'm going to be kissing, because it's certainly going to take like 5 or 6 times for me to get back in the swing of things. Which... who knows how long that will take. Did you know, it took me 4 months to kiss my last boyfriend? Yeah. Horrible, ain't it. And it's even worse, because I know I want to get straight to the kissing and the smooching and the snogging right away (probably because it's been so long), but I'm so embarrassed about it that it'll be forever until that happens... (and then, he's a Catholic... how much am I going to be denied?!... uh, what was that? nevermind...... you did NOT just read that, I promise...... )
Well, hopefully writing this little bit about my strange problems will make me feel better. Help get it off my mind, you know? BUUUT probably not. It'll just stew in my brain until it actually happens...
(PS I'm in college! Hooray sophomore year~~~~~)
that's how long it's been since I've updated. WHAT'S WRONG WITH ME?
I guess I just haven't had anything to blog about over the summer. I'm so sorry. (who am I apologizing to, anyway?)
I made a new banner today but it won't upload right now. Dang you, Vox! :( I guess my old one will have to do.
Let's see...... I guess I should give an update of my life, since I haven't in forever. Though, it feels like I don't have anything to update on. I've been working and sleeping, pretty much. And being on the computer a lot.
I just saw the movie Sakuran yesterday. Tsuchiya Anna is in it and Shiina Ringo did the music. I probably died, it was so amazing. Not only is the combo AWESOME, the movie ruled beyond belief. I think that maybe at some point I got confused with some of the flashbacks, but I'm not entirely sure. I was just too in love. You know who else is in it? Narimiya Hiroki!! I was really excited to discover this. At first I read it wrong and thought he was the character Seiji, but then I looked again - he was Soujirou. I was a bad fangirl, though - I didn't realize it was him. He seemed familiar (and extremely hot), but those damn top-knot hairstyles throw me off.
In other Japanese entertainment news, I've also been watching Yamada Tarou Monogatari and Hanazakari no Kimi-tachi e ~Ikemen Paradise~ (aka Hana Kimi). I love them both. Yamada Tarou has Sakurai Sho and my beloved Ninomiya Kazunari in it <33 double-time ARASHI!! And as bad as I feel for my MatsuJun (I was baited), I am loving Nino more and more. (as a side note, I'm starting to like Leader more too... <3333)
Anyway, beyond Nino and Sho, the drama is so much fun. I laugh a lot at it, and my favorite character is the nervous homeroom teacher. I also like the principal. He was the grandfather in Gokusen! He's such a sweet-looking ojii. (Wow! He was born in 1931!)
As for Hana Kimi, it took me a bit to enjoy it. I never read the manga, so I didn't have that connection like I did with Hana Yori Dango. In fact, if it wasn't for Oguri Shun, I probably wouldn't have kept up with it. But, after the first episode it got better. Now I'm in love with it.
I do feel bad that I haven't watched Bambino! at all. MatsuJun got an award for it. -_-;; I feel like a bad fangirl. Italian is my favorite style of food, too! What better combination?! I'll have to watch it after this season of drama ends. Yamada Tarou and Hana Kimi are 11 episodes each, you know.
In normal life news, I'm going back to school next week! Hooray~~!!! I leave to move in on the 17th. Holy CRAP, I can't wait. Don't get me wrong, I love my family. But I'm definitely ready to go back. Ha! Ha! Ha! (too much Harvey Birdman, lately...)
There's a week before we actually start classes, though. So I think I'll be going on a road trip with some of my college friends for a few days then. Seems like Kansas City and Worlds of Fun is the destination of choice. Woohoo! Roller coasters! Twice in one summer!!
Unrelated, I'm kind of sort of working for Ochibi-chan Scanlations now. They do the scanlations for the manga Lovely Complex, which I believe I mentioned in a post before. The entire series has been released in Japan, but they're only on volume 8 of 16 scanlation-wise. Their translator had disappeared for a while, I guess, and so they were SOL for a while. I offered my (weak) services and they took it up. I did the first chapter of volume 9 as a test, and it seemed to go over pretty well... now I have chapter 2 to finish up. I'll be working on it after this, actually.
So, uh, if you happen to read LC from them... sorry if there are any mistakes.
Okay, I'm bored of typing now. Besides, this post has gotten really super long. I'm outta here.
yeah, that's right. I had a dream about Arashi.
AA-----h! It was such a good dream, too!! I've never dreamed about them before, or in fact any Japanese famous person... at least, I don't think so...
I'm not sure what was going on, but I think my friend Britni and I were in line to go into a club or something. There were only girls around, and the room we were in was kind of like a dark, small shack. We were all packed in very tightly in a line, in-between two waist-high walls... it was kind of strange. Anyway, I glance out the two glass doors at the end of the line, and who do I see but Nino and Ohno outside.
Of course I'm immediately... "KYAAAAAA---!!!", especially since lately I've been so Nino-centered. (as of right now, he's my second favorite, and Leader is my third. Sho is fourth and Aiba is last... but, he's changed his hair to a much better color & style so that could change anytime... <3 )
Anyway, Britni and I, after having small heart attacks, have huge grins on our faces when they walk in. Very cheerful and friendly. We catch Nino's eye and he glances at us without concern, then looks at us again and smiles back just as friendly-like. Britni and I of course probably die at this point, and as he passes us by we have a small exchange of words. I don't remember what they were.........doesn't matter anyway.
Then, as Britni continues with Nino, I suddenly remember my first Arashi love, the one I haven't really been paying attention to as of late. Furtively I glance out the door, wondering if he, too, will show up...... and lo and behold, as if on cue, my beloved MatsuJun walks up to the doors. My heart probably stopped here.
He comes in, and some random guards or something are calling out, telling us to make a pathway for the members. MatsuJun looks around, looking as cool as ever, and as his glance passes over me I flash another huge, excited smile. He does the same as Nino - ignores it for a second, then looks again and smiles back, making his way over. I can't remember any sort of conversation or anything, which is probably what would happen in real life ... or more, I'd have probably fainted at this point.
So somehow, Britni, MatsuJun and I find ourselves sitting in a dark corner, having a normal conversation in broken Japanese and English. Now that I think about it, though, MatsuJun isn't good at English at all, is he? But he was decent in my dream. At least, sounding better than he did in HYD2...
The only specific thing I recall from that scene, though, is that for whatever reason I was holding a Scotch tape container, and somehow managed to drop it into MatsuJun's lap in the middle of a sentence. Without thinking, I said "Sorry!" and grabbed it. Awkward thing was, it was sitting on his leg right by his...umm yeah. After I picked it up we both looked kind of like, "uuuh...", and then I said "sumimaseeen..." ...And that's it.
Dangit, I need to go get famous in Japan. ;-; I WANNA MEET MATSUJUN FOR REALZ.......or at least see them in concert or something......
Well, I'm back! I had literally 50 new e-mails to go through upon checking my mail. How exciting. I managed to keep a written diary over the past week, which helped a lot I think. My emotions went up and down as usual, and now I just feel kind of weird. But, I was sick Friday and Saturday, so I feel weird anyway.
I didn't receive any phone calls from the Boy, and he has yet to mention my absence from the online community. My mom said to me, "Did you really expect him to call?" and I wonder if I did or not. I think the week before break had led me to believe that somehow, some way...ah, who cares. XD Doesn't really matter, huh?
The last episode of my drama, Hana Yori Dango, finally aired on Friday. I was pleased with the ending <3 I think, if I recall correctly, that I like it more than the manga ending. MatsuJun has another one coming up in April called Bambino! ...can't wait!! Plus, there is a whole crapload of movies I'm looking forward too - MatsuJun's Boku no Imouto ni Koi wo Suru, Tsuchiya Anna's Sakuran, and Arashi's Kiiroi Namida.
Speaking of MatsuJun, there was a wild rumor that he got Friday'd with Keiko Kitagawa (whom I only know of as Sailor Mars from the Sailormoon live action) saying that they were dating. But there were no pictures, so I guess people are calling it false.
Also related to the j-music world, I have been listening to entirely too much Hello! Project recently. It's like it's taking over my life, all thanks to ブリとニー (Britni). I watch a ton of videos of them too. It's just H!P, all the time. I wake up with their songs stuck in my head. I stay up late watching Mini Moni Chiccha. What am I doing with my life?!
So, back to dorama, I need to find another one to occupy my time until April 18th... preferably one with pretty JE boys... I think I saw something about Nino being in one? Maybe not. I want another comedy...
threw up this morning at approximately 7:40 am. skipped class. was a bum all day. watched the little mermaid. that was good.
also watched first episode of stand up!! ...it has a lot of good actors in it...nino (saigo in letters from iwo jima) ...oguri shun (rui in hana yori dango) ....hiroki (was in gokusen and was nobu in the nana movie) ...and also yamapi (was that one guy in nobuta wo produce.) so, lots of nice pretty boys to look at. funny show, too. I like it. though I get confused between hiroki and yamapi...I can't really tell them apart...i forget who is who ...*shame*
so yeah. that's it I guess. life is ...boring. i hate being sick.
Well, I think it's about time that I start talking about normal, random things.
Today I guess my alarm decided to play a trick on me and not go off, so I ended up sleeping soundly through what would have been my Astronomy class. What had actually woken me up, I think, was me somehow knocking my glasses off the desk. It was 12:10 and I had Japanese class in 20 minutes, which I ended up not going to, either. Dangit, I'm a horrible student!
I just finished watching last week's Grey's Anatomy episode...oh lord, I love that show. IT WAS SO GOOD! AHH!! Oh, also - everyone should see Letters from Iwo Jima, because it was amazing. I saw it last Friday and give it a million thumbs up. (Plus, Nino is in it!! From ARASHI!! I am so proud of him, he did an amazing job.)
Hmm...what else...applying for housing next year is coming up, soon. Second week of February, we can send in an application for the lottery to get into the apartment-style housing on campus here. But, Betty & Katya (the girl who is going to live with us) are leaning more towards an off-campus apartment since there is a chance we can't get the on-campus one. I'm not really ready for that, so I don't know what I will do if they decide to not apply.
I'd like to live with Britni (りと～さん), but she isn't officially a student, and won't be until...what, March? I'm not sure how that will work out. I guess if Betty and Katya back out, I can wait until then so Britni and I can just get a normal room together, maybe in Cather or something. Or Selleck, that'd be nice...already on campus and everything...yeah...
Uh...now I have distracted myself by looking at housing stuff. Hahaha. So I guess that is all for now!
U-FO!
