[#055] It's Been A While Since I Posted...

....Like a week! >.< I keep meaning to post, but never really get the chance to. ://///

But none of that matters, because yesterday I fulfilled years and years of dreaming:
I BOUGHT MY PLANE TICKETS TO JAPAN.
JULY 7 TO JULY 22!!!!

You guys. I have dreamt of going to Japan since high school. Maybe even before that when I fell in love with Sailor Moon at around 11 years old and dreamt I could be one of those girls. With the stupid toy heart brooch to boot. When I finally clicked confirm or whatever that last button was, it just felt... amazing. No, I haven't gone on the trip itself yet, but just the fact that I bought the tickets. Made steps towards this trip. Am making plans. Am trying so hard to make this as awesome as it can be. It's just... a little bit closer and closer. I'm totally being ridiculous but like I kept saying yesterday. This made it real. Talking about it is one thing. Dropping a thousand dollars that can't be easily earned back is something else entirely.

In short form, the rest of my week:
Sunday: Went to go see James McAvoy at TimesCenter Stage with C. He is absolutely charming and awesome and rambles too much when he gets caught up in his own thoughts. He also likes cheese. lol He was fabulous and his accent was hot. XD And when he spoke about acting and telling stories and how everything we ever need is down on page--the characters, the emotions. A scene has all it needs and the actor is meant to pull from that and has to feel, and if he doesn't, the scene doesn't have what it needs to tell the story. (Or something along those lines.) Whatever it was he said, it just resonated in me because ohmygod, I feel like that when I write stories. Anyway, it was amazing and awesome and I'm only sad I couldn't get a signature or a picture. D:
Monday: Work. ...Can't remember if I did anything else. lol
Tuesday: Cyn Sin!!!!!! ♥♥ lol We went to go eat at this onigiri place than just hung around 42nd street due to not having a clue what to do. lol We managed to spend idk how long at Kino just rambling, walking around, breezing through books and mangas and cute things. lol Also, on the second floor, was thoroughly amused because they were playing Arashi's last album (the 2000-2009 one). Was amused. And kept singing along. XDDDD
Wednesday: Work, but then got sick halfway through the day and went home. Slept for the rest of the day. D: Was not fun. Especially since I lost out on hours. SIGH.
Thursday, Friday: Workworkwork. Not enough sleep as always.
Today!!! Spent all my time relaxing and watching multiple videos because god, it's been so long since I've been able to sit down in front of my laptop and watch shows and movies and random Japanese vids. It was love. *______________*

Speaking of videos, I have something to recommend everyone see. The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (Abridged). Performed by the Reduced Shakespeare Company. Absolutely hysterical and brilliant. I had been watching on my iPod in public and I had to stifle my laughter so many times. Not always successful too. I hope everyone enjoys!

Also, I've been reading a lot of fic. (All that I liked is in my Scrapbook.) Guys, Encaustic by augustfai is absolutely fabulous. Read it if you haven't. I don't usually read pairings in Arashi (although lately I have) much less Ohno/Nino (even though they're freaking Ohmiya), but this was beautiful--beautifully written, beautiful flow, beautiful descriptions. Lovelovelove. Read it if you haven't! (Also, rec me more Arashi fic. Wanttttttttt so badly.)

That's it for now!! :D ♥♥♥
