[#154] Happy New Year!

Okay so it's technically four well, five, now since it's past midnight, days since the year actually started, but I haven't written in months? so yeah, this is a new year for me.

I promised a certain someone you know who you are. if you're in fact reading this. you better be. I am typing this just for you. comment with "puppies." that I'd post more, which I don't think she needs because honestly, you've known me for how long now? And I'm not entirely sure knowing what boring thing I did today will help with idea, but eh. Maybe this'll have me posting more. I say this every year, it's never true. I should just accept my 5 or so posts in a year, and move on.

Anyway, if I was being persnickety, I'd write that my day was dull and uneventful. But, for the sake of how I used to blog, let's do this.
i. OH GOD, OUR CAR BROKE DOWN. For real though. So, I have to drive more often nowadays, especially since I've stopped complaining about it to my parents. I mean, it's never anywhere far. (Although my dad once asked me if I could drive into Manhattan and I laughed in his face.) I have just taken over all the small trips to the groceries, or to pick up my mom or sister at the bus/train station, or.... actually I think it's just those two. So today was one of those trips. A quick trip to get milk (about 85% of all my car rides), and as always, AR tacked on a trip to Home Depot to buy something else, since obvs, we were already out. And it was going okay, even though the ground is snowy and I can never perfect where the damn lines are. (I've realized a big problem with me and driving our Pilot is that I CANNOT SEE OVER THE STEERING WHEEL. This is a problem right?) Anyway, AR goes into the store and I stay in the car because I'm still in pajamas and I was not bothering to go outside. Yes, it's cold but I bundled up so I could last a bit. But I tried to turn on the engine again after 30 mins. and oh hey, battery's dead. (okay that's not exactly breaking down but close enough.) So argh. We had a battery in the back that I got some store worker to help me use to jump start the car. Didn't work. So I had to call AAA. ARGGGGGH. So I can now say that I've had to call AAA! First time for everything. 2014, off to a great start.
ib. Can we talk about how many times our car has broken down in the past month, month and a half? I really am getting worried. The poor car. D:

ii. I have feelings about lots of stuff right now.
- First and foremost, ginzarhapsody and I have talked about this for years now, Yui/Erika as rival rockstars!AU. And she wrote it. She combined it with another AU that we fondly talked about, Yamapi's Loveless PV where he's a backdancer. And I cannot, you guys. Peyton. Okay, so love letter to Peyton right here and right now. She is the Jin-Jin to my Kazu-chan, and I love her dearly. I fell into the rabbit hole of Jdramas, and followed her and no regrets. Because I totally admired her at first, she was so fantastic and I loved reading how she reacted to things and I loved reading her thoughts. And yes, this seems really sketch and kind of creepy, but I was largely in stalker mode. Wait, I mean, um, lurker. I'm pretty sure we interacted, but it wasn't really until jep_cast that I spent much more time with her, and I got to know her more, and yeah. She's one of my favorite people ever for good reason--I love talking with her, and getting interested in things with her, because oh man, we are so alike. We care so much, and everything's fun and entertaining, and I love being able to talk to her about LOADS, and I DON'T KNOW WHAT WORDS ARE ANYMORE. I just. I can't express how much I adore her and she wrote me fic. And it's everything I thought it'd be and more. Just so fucking fantastic. So please read it, because it's good. So good. ...and we will become strangers. Yamapi/Erika, Yamapi/Yui. PG-13. It's worth the read.
(Okay, this is a ridiculous paragraph, and I apologize for how bad I am with words. ♥♥ to you, Peyton. ♥ to you.)

- Second, I have been watching Arrow for the past two... three? weeks. And I have fallen into a terrible rabbit hole. (oh hey, I think I like saying rabbit hole this post.) I started watching it solely because the main pairing (well technically not) has been ALL OVER TUMBLR. Like seriously, all I see are gifsets of Oliver/Felicity and I kept thinking, god, they look good together, and finally made the effort to watch it. NO REGRETS. It is so good and I am so entertained, and I love Felicity and how she calls Oliver on his shit all the fucking damn time, and despite the fact that Oliver is dumb and never listens, he doesn't shit on her for that. So yes. Four for you. That said, Oliver is so dumb sometimes. Actually the whole Queen family is ridiculous with their secrets and their RIDICULOUSNESS, except Thea. Because even though she annoyed me at the start, all she really wants is for her family to TELL HER THE TRUTH. That's it. That shouldn't be so damn hard. I swear. The OT3 of Oliver/Digg/Felicity as the team is off the walls, and I love them, and how great they work with each other, and I'm glad we're past that initial bump in the relationship because when the team was "breaking up" during season 1, my heart broke. So yes, I am enjoying this show. The characters are (mostly) fantastic, and I love all the fantastic females. (Even Laurel, even though I feel like she is the weakest link of the cast. And even Moira for all her constantly lying. Because at the heart of it, she's trying to control her situation to the best of her ability. Just. Dangerously.) Such a good watch. AND NOW I HAVE TO WAIT LIKE EVERYONE ELSE. ARGH.

iii. Okay, this post is ridiculous already so let's just go with Morning Musume 2014 Prank. So entertaining, and seriously, what professionals. They were on point with that choreo once they realized their situation.

And with that, I'm out. surprise, bitch. i bet you thought you'd seen the last of me. yes, i did use that. yes, you can now stone me. lol

P.S. I just threw a lot of tags on this. Yes, I am being obnoxious about my return to LJ.
