[#96] Some of These Happy Points are Days Old.

[tinyangl]

But I hope you guys don't mind me cheating. lolol

i. Happy stuff! :D
+ Last Friday, the 9 hour marathon Skype call with Jennie and Peyton. I still don't know how we spent so much time just babbling about who knows what. Although two hours of that were spent on Peyton on her pizza, from deciding if she should get it to the point when it was delivered. Another couple of hours spent talking fic - both je_ficgames and je_holiday. (Mainly Peyton and I spazzing to Jennie about all she's missed since she hasn't been reading fic.) I think all of us got phone calls from various people at some points (Peyton was miss popular). God, and I think they helped me try to solve a crossword puzzle. That I don't think I finished on that note. lolol
+ Peyton invited me to her place. "I have an empty bed for you." Bow-chika-wow-wow.
+ The episode Rashomama played on Friday. And that is, hands down, my favorite CSI episode of existence. If you watch CSI and have never seen this episode, you are so missing out. :DDD Pimpimpim.
+ I managed to convince Cyn and Jennie (although the second one was a joint effort with Peyton) to get twitters. Who rocks? :D (AKA, if you do not have a twitter. you should get one now. And then friend me. I'm tinyangl.)
+ Yamapi and V6 are going to be on VS Arashi. Who's ridiculously happy? I AM I AM. January 10th can't come any sooner. *____________*
+ Tegoshi wanting to be flawless. Total A+.
+ Tegoshi asking Yamapi to Karaoke straight out. Even more A+.
+ J-Friends' I Will Get There. If you've never heard it, you should now. Amazing fucking song.
+ Just Peyton in general. :D She knows why.
+ Toda Erika on Domoto Kyoudai. I didn't used to like her, but after Ryuusei no Kizuna and this interview, she's really growing on me. Also, Koichi's magic trick was fucking awesome. Making her birthday with the cards? DUDE. WHO DOES THAT?! Holy shit. Even if it's raw, everyone should watch just for that, honestly. It's worth it. *______________*
+ This picture of Okada, Morita, Miyake. Hysterical. Be warned, Okada's in his tightie whities. lololol
+ Subbed K-chan Episodes: 1 ♥ 2 ♥ 3 ♥ 4. All are absolutely hysterical. I totally recommend checking them out.
+ Getting my week of jesummary posted. :DDDD
+ Oh! Almost forgot. Grades are starting to trickle in. :DD A- for Grammar! Honestly? That's the only one that I thought would come close to a B (Granted, I don't know how Creative Writing prof will grade, so who knows). But hearing that it's an A makes me giddy. Maybe I'll be able to boost my average with this semester. Ridiculously happy.
+ I love my twitter. That is the only reason I have most of this list. lolol Looking back at my twitters so helps. XD

ii. Galileo Zero.
Finally managed to watch this despite downloading it ages ago. Ohmygod, so amazing. It only served to remind me that I really liked the drama and then I really wished that I saw Yukawa and Kaoru together again. Random points!

+ Yukawa being lecherous. Hysterical. I love the assistant trying to get girls to "play" with Yukawa but failing miserably.
+ The guy who plays Kusanagi. I'd seen him in a couple of other things, but for some reason, he was just really hot to me in this. I don't even know why.
+ I was genuinely surprised when I suddenly saw Masami show up. With her glasses and white coat. She thoroughly amused me though. Loved her interactions with Yukawa, trying to hit on him and convince him to stay by saying she had a really tiny bikini and then Yukawa going off on how it'd be great if girls wore bikinis to class. I was like WTF. LOL Also, love at the end when she leaves and he's babbling about love (as always) and she's like, he doesn't get it. Yukawa never did get a clue.
+ LOVED MIURA. Ohmygod. He had Yukawa down, honestly. I thought it was brilliantly acted and just all around amazing. ;alskdjlkasfjd I was honestly waiting for him to show up on screen and when he did, I flailed hard. :DDDD
+ The cases were good. I mean, I liked them but it's not like I can say much about them. lolol
+ This just made me want to find out what happens in the dman movie. Wantwantwant. alsdkjalfksjdf
+ OH. At the end of the special, we got a performance of Shibasaki Kou and Fukuyama Masaharu. SO BEAUTIFUL. OHMYGOD. I knew they performed together for this, but I'd never actually seen them together so seeing Fukuyama in the back with the guitar made me flail ridiculously.
+ Honestly, a good watch for those who saw Galileo before. And if you've never seen Galileo, what the heck are you doing reading this?! lol Seriously. Thoroughly enjoyed myself. :DDDDD Plus Miura = A+.
+ OH, random note. For a split second, Sailor Venus was one of the assistants. I was like OH HAY. LOOK WHO'S ON MY SCREEN! :D


iii. It's the holidays! I thought I'd be nice and offer up some of my writing (as terrible as it is). The last time I ask for prompts, I know I failed. DDD: Sorry. But this time, I have more free time (aka right now) so prompt me something to write for you! Granted, I have no promises for length, so it may range from one sentence to .....Well, let's not go there. lol So prompt away! :D No deadline that I can think of. Hopefully, I'll be better about this one. *dies*

OH YAY. PART 4. OF HOW MANY. DDD:

[tinyangl.livejournal.com]

"No, no you didn't," Kame finally says honestly--because it's the truth. It's all Kame, his paranoia, his confusion. He exhales. "I don't think I'll be going to the bar again." He tries to chuckle, but he wonders if it sounds as fake to Shige as it does to his own ears. "Too much alcohol, probably was a bad idea to go as often as I was."

"Oh," Shige says on the other line, voice catching. "Er. Okay, well, that's too bad, Kamenashi-kun. I was enjoying talking with you."

Kame licks his lips. "Yeah, to me too." There's a pause of awkward silence that makes Kame shut his eyes and exhale. "Listen, I have to get back to work. I'll, um. Later."

"Bye, Kamenashi-kun." Shige's voice is softer than Kame ever remembers. The ring tone echoes in his ear for another minute before Kame shuts his cell phone, his eyes catching his other members' eyes.

"What?" Kame snaps.

Jin gives him a soft smile, slightly sad. "Nothing," he says. A part of Kame wants him to expand on that, but he stamps down the desire and tells them that they should get back to work.


vi. Verse 3.

It's a couple of weeks before Kame suddenly realizes that all he's been doing is working, going home, sleeping, and then repeating the same thing the next day and then the next. Kame is at home, a bottle of beer in his hands and the imprint of his ass on his couch getting more and more defined. He feels really pathetic at this moment--lonely and craving for human interaction other than the usual people.

It's not as though staying away from Shige helped much of anything anyway. Kame still dreams of a life together with Shige, every night a possible scene of their life together--they range from something like just sitting down and fighting over the remote, to actual intimate scenes that Kame almost feels embarrassed for looking in on.

Each night though, the image of Shige gets fuzzier and fuzzier--like Kame's forgetting what Shige's like, what'd he say. Or maybe just the little stuff like the quirk of Shige's smile, the twinkle in his eye when Kame said something funny.

Kame curses himself in his head as he gets up off the couch, pulling on his jacket--thankful that he hadn't changed as soon as he'd gotten home. Without another thought, Kame makes his way to the bar at 1 in the morning, hoping that Shige will still be there, at the same time hoping that he won't be there.

He swings open the door and the bell chimes like it's always done before, and Kame sees a familiar back to him. Shige's talking animatedly to the bartender whose eyes quirk upwards when he sees Kame walk through the door.

The bartender nods in his direction and Kame freezes in his spot as Shige turns around slowly, his eyes meeting Kame's. Kame licks his lips as Shige's eyes light up with recognition, beaming as he stumbles off the stool and into Kame's arms.
