[#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*

Comments

part 3! let's see how many parts this has.

[tinyangl.livejournal.com]

vi. 6 years forward. (Or really, 7 years, 6 months, 6 weeks and 3 days forward.)

"Yui!" Yamapi calls from across the yard. "I don't think we have enough balloons!"

"Papa~" Raimu whines. "When can we just eat the cake and forget about everyone else?"

Yamapi chuckles, leaning forward. "When your mom's back is turned, you can sneak a taste. Maybe get all that whipped cream off for your dad."

Raimu's nose wrinkles. "You know I don't like it too. Can't I just eat the inside? The cake part?"

"Nope," Yui chimes in, walking outside with a new bag of balloons in her hand and the other hand around her large stomach. "Here you go, Tomo."

Yamapi grins, leaning forward to kiss her and ignoring the loud "yuck" from beside him. He pulls back, puts his hand on Yui's stomach and says softly, "Only three more months before you become one of us, ne?"

"Papa," Raimu whines. "The balloons aren't done yet and I can't blow them up like you do!" Yamapi meets Yui's eyes and exaggeratedly rolls his eyes.

She laughs, shakes her head. "Rai-chan, you know you won't be able to act like that when your baby sister or brother is born."

Raimu nods, holding his head up. "I'm going to be a big brother! And protect it like daddy does for you."

Yamapi smirks while Yui tries to hold back her laughter. "Did papa tell you to say that?"

"Yup!"

"Well, just make sure you don't protect your baby sibling like your papa did his baby sister. She nearly kicked him when he forbade her to marry your uncle Jin."

Yamapi winces, like he's remembering the moment perfectly in his head.

"But what if she doesn't know what a right idiot he is?" Raimu asks, frowning. Yamapi instantly claps a hand over his mouth, chuckling awkwardly as though that would make Yui forget what Raimu had just said.

"Did your papa say that too?" Yui says pointedly, glaring at Yamapi. With Yamapi's hand over his mouth, all Raimu can do is nod vigorously.

"Heh," Yamapi chuckles again. "Um. That. That wasn't about Jin, of course. That was about something else."

"Wait till I tell him that," Yui chuckles, turning around and waddling back into the house.

"It's nothing I haven't said to his face before!" Yamapi calls out before crouching down when Yui's out of sight. "Now, Raimu, that's one of those things that we're supposed to keep between us," Yamapi says firmly.

"Oh. I'm sorry, papa. I'll try to remember next time," Raimu says before handing Yamapi a balloon. "This first though."

Yamapi shakes his head, laughing.


vii. 5 months, 1 week rewind. (Or really, 13 months, 9 weeks and 3 days forward.)

"Pi, I know you've been doing the right thing, getting engaged to Aragaki-chan and getting a place together and whatnot, but have you even stopped to think about what you're doing?"

Yamapi pauses then sighs. "I didn't call you so you could tell me what I'm doing wrong, you know."

"You're miserable," Jin says on the other end. "You're miserable and you don't know why."

"I'm not!" Yamapi snaps annoyed. "I've been dating Yui-chan for over a year now. This is good news."

"Then why don't you sound like you're convinced yourself?"

"Since when do you pay attention to these kinds of things?"

"When my best friend seems to want an escape instead of facing up to the things he's set out for himself. Why didn't you just say what you felt then?" Yamapi can tell Jin's frowning on the other line and something about that thought makes Yamapi frown in turn.

"Because this is the responsible thing to do. We're adults, Jin. It's not that easy anymore."

"Do you want to have the baby?"

Yamapi pauses before a smile spreads on his face. "Yeah. I want the baby."

"Does Aragaki-chan know?"

Yamapi blinks. "What? Of course she does!"

"Then why is she over here with Rina and sobbing her eyes out?" Yamapi doesn't bother to respond to that, already on his feet and out the door.
