sanity is a figment of the imagination

...or I was just too lazy. I'm willing to bank on the second lol.

i. Hope everyone had a Happy Halloween! ♥ It's the start of November and <33333 Grandmother's leaving for the Philippines tonight for three months. Jin's concert is in November, I got tickets to see Jon Stewart, plus my trip to Philly is at the end of Nov! ♥♥ I cannot wait, honestly. Hopefully I'll post more than three times in November though. lol That is just SAD. I don't think I've ever posted so little in a month. XD

ii. That said, I feel like I posted a LOT, except it was only because I was working on cross-posting my writing to a new writing community! I've been wanting my own comm for ages even though, you know, it's been forever since I've written really. :///// But for those who want to check out my comm, it's kakimakuru! ♥ Everything (or mostly everything) is over there and the tags are all nice and neat and fixed up (all alphabetical in terms of pairing names because it was the only way I could figure out how to keep everything consistent) so do check it out! I refound fics (and snippets of fics which I also reposted there) that I wish I'd finished more of. lol

But the real reason I was rushing to finish posting is because I saw this writing meme on crystallekil's journal and totally want to do it on kakimakuru. :D That way I wouldn't spam tinyangl and just spam the community. :D But if you guys are interested, you should do it too! I haven't started yet, but I'll start tonight for sure. I kind of have to since it's on my Day Zero list. :D (Speaking of that list, of the 49 items on it, I've finally finished one! ♥♥ So happy~ Steadily getting there.

( November's writing meme! )

I also need to post up at least one fic that I haven't posted anywhere that's been finished for months now. lol XD

iii. ( drama talk! Good Luck!, Haikei Chichiue-sama, and a few of the dramas from this season! )

iv. ( J-movies I've seen! I Give My First Love To You, Parade. )

v. ( All about the SMAP subbing group and reccing clips to watch! )
And lastly, reccing 1995_to_forever! They're having this big 15th year anniversary subbing special thing of 15 videos. I actually helped out by QCing for certain clips! I'm not that experienced as a QC, but hopefully I did well!

P.S. I wrote too much in this so I'll save the remainder of the jdrama meme for my next post. :D

Enjoy! (I'm actually getting ready to go out, so if someone wants to x-post this for me onto kattunlove or something, that'd be great. XDDD) Thanks, Beth~ ♥

Just possibly.

I mean, after you see things like this:


repeatedly and can't stop laughing each time, and watch Dr. Horrible Sing-Along Blog. It's just. ;aslkdjfalksdj He is such love. :DDDD (Also, Dr. Horrible? Cheesiest thing possible, but I couldn't help but love it in the three acts that it existed. Nathan Fillion was just fucking hilarious, I have to add as well. From the first minute on, I was just dying. Sadly, you can't watch it on the site anymore. :\\\\)

Yeah, I don't really have much of substance to post about. I'm heading out today since it's Restaurant Week in New York, and my friends and I are checking out this Hawaiian place (Hawaiian of all things). I'm wearing this dress and possibly, these shoes. Hopefully, it won't rain today.

In other "news," still need more topics for the alphabet meme! Missing letters C, G, L, Q, X, Z. lol Last three are like the hardest letters, but XP I'm sure you guys can manage.

Also, in other news. I think I'm back in the subbing world. :DDD Happy, happy news, indeed.

...That means this one will be overloaded.

i. The reason I have been withholding from posting is because I was insistent that I would finish off my memes without falling behind in comments.a ;ldjaslkdfjalsjdf AND HAY. I DID IT. And for your prizes... Here are links. :D

AU Meme: (FINALLY FUCKING DONE)
- NewS as Pirates for blood_opal
- NewS in High School for blood_opal
- Ohkura, Shige, and Taguchi at a maid cafe for boycottbananas
- Yamapi turns into Takki's cat for procreational
- NewS as doctors for wanderingreen
- Tegoshi and Massu are love rain Gods, matchmaking Jin and Rina (mildly het, I guess) for cynicalism
- JE!Emelan, Part 2, Attempt at Happy to make up for Angst in the first two for acchikocchi
- Yamapi and Jin as Leaders of Rival Gangs (Except not really) for kuroiusagi93
- KAT-TUN as Knights Protecting Princess Pi for maya_morning
- My own AU - Yamapi is still a Johnny, Jin is an Office Worker for shatteredinu
- Tegoshi is Harry Potter. Enough said. forcyncialism
- College AU, one established by Cyn and I - KAT-TUN and NewS get together and get wasted for cynicalism
- NewS never existed, a sad thought, I know for cynicalism (You know who to blame for this)
- Prompt was someone getting wet, I made that into NewS owns a fair for quinnsan
- Ryo/Tego in Attention Please for takenoko
- Oh god, JE!Sailor Scouts - Yamapi is Sailor Moon, go from there for 4_03_am
- Yamapi and Shige go undercover as Shigeko and Pinku-kun for 4_03_am
- Yamapi is Iron Chef for 4_03_am
- Jin is Yamapi's six-year-old son's piano teacher where the son's a bit of a brat for 4_03_am
- FULL version of Maki as a runaway bride, Massu is a waiter in the cafe she enters for cynicalism
At this point, I'm just so so SO glad to have this finished. a;sdlfkjaslkdfj Other than the Massu/Maki being finished, expect love!rain!Gods!Tegomass to be finished because Cyn insists. And probably more of Shigeko and Pinku-san, because I'm just totally amused by them. XP

And my 100 Word Meme:
- Ryopi, off the beaten path for sanctified_x
- Shigepi, Pi wants to celebrate Shige's birthday, but can't get away from the Code Blue set for xarwenz
- Koki/Kame, based on a picture for maya_morning
- Tego/Shige, math for mintchoc
- Ohkura/Shige/Taguchi, strawberry ice cream and/or pool parties for boycottbananas
- ...Jin and Kame, totally not Akame (ihu Nikki), prompt was mangos (Cyn's fault) for anamuan
- Koyashige, j-web confessions for kisekiga
- MatsuJun/Inoue Mao/Oguri Shun, sensibility for procreational
- Shuuji/Akira, swimming and Ryoda, beach for partypaprika
- Koyashige, swings and no shoes forquinnsan
- Jin/Ohkura, forget gravity for purebloodqueen
- Ryo/Lindsay - do ignore this one, Ryo/Shige, Kurosaki/Tsurara, it's the little things that mean the most for bitofpixiedust
They should all be 100 words (except for one that I already know I cheated through), however if any aren't... Do blame the word count website, because lol, I don't actually... count the words. XP Otherwise, enjoy~


ii. ( Just some real life stuff, boring boring. Quotes, recaps, I HAD MY FIRST JE DREAM - it was lame, a strange voicemail. ...I don't think there's much left. )


iii. Memes!
Post a screencap of your desktop and tag five other people to do the same.
Just snagged this from various people.
( I like showing off my wallpapers. They're so pretty. )

♥ People who have been tagged must write their answers on their blogs & replace any question that they dislike with a new question formulated by themselves.

♥ Tag 8 people to do this quiz & those who are tagged cannot refuse. These people must state who they were tagged by & cannot tag the person whom they were tagged by. Continue this game by sending it to other people.
I don't care enough to tag people. Was tagged by cynicalism who did it just so I'd post. She be so devious. XP

( Questions and my answers~ )


iv. Like I said before, lately I've been reading manga and well...
- @jadedfrenzy. I hate you for reccing me an ongoing manga. asldfkjaslkdruaisodfjlk;j (Also, way to rub it in that you live in Europe. T.T Although, man, that postcard was pretty. *_____________________*) But um, for all those not in the know, I have been obsessed over Gakuen Alice for the past couple of days, going through the entire manga - that which I could - and spazzing when I realized that SHIT, it's still ongoing and asldkfjalksjdflk I actually have to wait for this stuff. That said, I kinda all sorts of love it, and can't wait for more. My shipper's hat goes crazy when I read it though. lolol and when it comes to the two main characters, I have to stop and go as;dkjflkasur;dlkj THEY'RE SO YOUNG. Then realize that, ugh, it just can't be helped sometimes. I think Natsume is the most jackass-y kid ever. And would like to smack him senseless. XP Except for some reason, he's somehow endearing in his jackassiness. I don't know how the kid manages, but he does. DAMN him. XPPP
- And cynicalism has been dying to get me into Shaman King (even though I've read it about two or three times before, but never finished). And I've had that thing sitting in my hard drive for like ages, until I started reading it after finishing Gakuen Alice. (I was itching for another manga to read.) And um, just know that in one day, I went from volume 11 to volume 25. al;skjdrioasdflkj ADDICTING. I couldn't stop reading. Except, lol, I was like, people just keep dying and coming back like nothing. It's like Dragonball Z all over again! XP That said, I really like it and the characters and constantly making fun of useless!Manta. I love the boy, but towards the end, you're like, oh! Manta was there. Huh. To be fair, I'm not done yet but as;lkdjfalksrulkdsjf Almost. ALMOST. saf;kduj (Also, because Cyn's funny like that, lol, she totally was telling me how JE!Shaman King would go, and that it should totally be written. And I agreed. And it is now a prompt at the Massu-thon which means someone should go write it so I don't have to. XP)


v. Last night, I started to get this really sharp pain in my wrist that made it really hard to sleep. I had hoped that sleeping it off, it'd go away, except it didn't because as we speak, I still have that annoying sharp pain. :\\\\ Ugh. No likie. :\\\\\

i. I haven't been "signing on" to MSN for the past... I'd say week or so. It's not as though I'm avoiding anyone, just to clarify, but I've felt like I've needed some "me" time. I'm not quite sure what's up with that, but whatever. I've been watching videos non-stop for my lovely random vacation that I gained for myself. So I've seen so much stuff and cross-stitched a whole shit of a lot. I'm actually almost done. And it's rather exciting for me to be SO close. God. In my head, If I keep going on, I'll have this done before Tuesday. o.O Or maybe a little after. *laughs* I haven't done anything productive. Shame on me. XP

ii. Since I've said I've been watching videos.... Why not talk about it?
a. JK Rowling - A Year in the Life:( "How do you like to be remembered?" )

b. One Pound Gospel: Outside a cut because this shouldn't be long. To be honest, I probably would've dropped this mainly because it's hard for me to keep up to date on current running dramas, but it was cynicalism who kept insisting I watch it. And write fic for her which has yet to happen, so sorry dear. But I rather enjoyed it. I mean, sometimes all the crack that was Kousaku kinda made me head-desk and the situations were way too unbelievable that I just was taken out of the story (I still don't get how the frig the top host of a club could be a boxer. With all the bruises and shit? That's a dangerous game to play. Especially a CHAMPION). But I rather liked it. Most of the last episode was pointless, but it had a nice good "tied everything up" ending. So I liked that. It doesn't hurt that Meisa was rather gorgeous in the last episode. I approve. lol

c. Mou Hitotsu no Sugar and Spice:( This goes under a cut because it's four separate storylines and I have a bone to pick with two in particular. )

I was going to review Kisaragi but DAMN, that post on Mou Hitotsu took up a bit. Er... Next post then. lolol I need to give myself space for massive Oguri Shun flail. :DDDD
Also, I won't review it, but I've been watching S Club 7 for the past... Oh, three days or so. I am made of lame because I can't get over how much I loved that group. lololol. The last season was kinda boring (I ended up skimming most of it and then skipping to the last episode), but the first three were awesome and I have absolutely bad music taste, obviously, because now I'm tempted to put all my S Club 7 music back onto my i-Pod. *cracks up* Pop groups apparently were where I was made to be. *sighs* Oh well.

iii. I am pleased to announce that I am getting kashfi into Japanese dramas. :DDDD Yes dude, I'm talking about you because it made me uber excited that you have even gotten so far as to research Yamapi's working history. I mean, hi. I am big Yamapi fangirl. (I have also been annoyingly announcing this to friends every time you update that you're watching so and so drama.) Also, I totally approve of you even knowing about NewS vs. KAT-TUN. I am not taking sides because I love both groups. It is not my fault that I am a bigger NewS fan. I will not, however, say which group is better than the other because it's all subjective, thanks. :D Although, dude, I think that you'd probably like KAT-TUN music better (just don't watch performances is all I say. I don't think you wanna see guy on guy action). *cracks up*

iv. This is me pimping shit.
a. Shige and Yamapi's sections translated from May Myojo. AKA absolute fantastical photo shoot where they imitate each other. Shige's imitation of Yamapi was, hands down, the best of the pack. :D Also, Yamashita [I'm naked at this very moment (laughs).] BEST TEXT EVER. HI. I WANT FIC OF THIS REALLY BADLY. Where there is text porn. I think I came up with this idea YEARS ago, but I'd envisioned it being Koyashige. If there is ShigePi, I would not mind this at all. (lolol, Rhey probably won't remember but we both thought of this before. We win.) Also, can anyone explain to me how Tegoshi's photo shoot anything like Shige? Totally missed that one. (For the scans of Myojo, go here and ogle Shige. Who looks flipping amazing. I mean, hi Yamapi!Shige. I approve.)
b. I ended up subbing the Last Friends CM with arisan's translation. It's over here for download. lolol. I'd've made my own separate post, but really, guys? I'm massively lazy. Come on. What's the point? Anyway, was rather pleased at how easy it was to sub this. lololol. (I mean, it is only 45 seconds, but 20 minutes to time, typeset, the encode? I call it my newest record! :D) Woot~ Fun times.
c. I haven't been able to read all the fic from the latest One Hour Fic Challenge, so the fic I'm pimping is not related to it. lololol agirlcalledkil has been uber amazing lately (okay, she's always amazing, but even more so in writing world) because GUYS, she wrote two KoyaShigePin fics. Not one, but two. *FLAIL* And one was dedicated to ME. So um. Completely completely, completely made of awesome. The first (and original) was Last Call Casualty, and then she remixed her own fic, writing When the Ugly Lights Go Out. MUCH FRIGGING LOVE. Ohmygod. (Plus, I was giddy just for the sole reason that Jin was watching CSI for the first half of it. I AM STILL IN LOVE WITH THAT SHOW. Even if I'm massively (and really not even funny) behind. lolol. I keep saying I'll catch up, but I don't do it. Oh well.)
d. Plus, she wrote me Tegopi. She wrote me Tegopi. as;ldfkjasl;fdj ♥ It's over here with some Jinnifer/Ryo above it and Takki/Tsubasa below it. All worth a read, and I don't even mind that it's angsty. (It's hard sometimes to write Tegopi without angst. ~_~;; I speak from frigging experience. WTF, you two.) But YES. I haven't even properly commented yet, but I'm pimping it already. lololol.
e. Not a pimp, but you must all see Zettai Kareshi (AKA Absolute Boyfriend)'s drama CM. Mokomichi looks shorter than I expected, but fuck, Mizushima Hiro looks absolutely fabulous. And we can not ignore the fact that Maya Miki is going to be in this. I am frigging excited. Ohmygod. I adore Maya Miki like nobody's business. ♥ She's fabulous.

v. Fuck. Did I have anything else? ... OH RIGHT. Papaya, dance craze in the Philippines is now sweeping the nation. I'm not quite sure what to say other than to laugh. Really, really, really loudly. *dies*

Frig, this was long. lolol. I'll see everyone tomorrow. :D

For my sake... mostly. ...Maybe.

( Cut because why the hell not? )

Um. Okay. I'm off to pretend to do work! Yay~

Mom: It's because it's cold, isn't it?
Me: *pause* ...You didn't just say that, right? *bursts out laughing*
*talking about my dad's I-pod aka my former I-pod*

*while I was writing V-day fic*
tinyangl: QUICK, PRETEND YOU'RE TAGUCHI. WHAT WOULD YOU SAY
partypaprika: ireguchi desu taguchi desu
partypaprika: hey have you heard that one about the valentine's day card?
tinyangl: LOL
tinyangl: valentine's day card?
partypaprika: yeah it took the chocolate out for a valentine's day dinner that fell a little flat

*just now*
bitofpixiedust: my friends in rl were so shocked one time when i made some kind of blowjob joke i forget
tinyangl: LOLOL
bitofpixiedust: after th einitial shock they were like *sniff* she's growing up
tinyangl: LOLOLOL
tinyangl: i take monetary thanks
tinyangl: although i do not mind food
bitofpixiedust: honey why would you want money or food when you have what i put out for you for free
tinyangl: OH.
tinyangl: LINDSAY - 1
tinyangl: THAT WAS AWESOME
tinyangl: WINWINWINWINW

*when buying V-day cards for friends - bought 6 because there was a buy 3, get 3 free deal*
Lady: Someone has a lot of Valentines.
(What I should've said) Me: I get around a lot.
(What I did say) Me: They're all for friends.
...See which is more interesting. T.T Darn wit.

I just thought you all should know. ♥

( Points i - v. Because I'm predictable. )

a;sldkfja;lsdjf I don't even know. I think I had more interesting things to say, but I have a shitty memory. Whoops. XP

And I am never EVER one to neglect a photoshoot where he's just alsdjfaskldjflaksjf *_________________*
I'm behind in comments again. Whoops. And here I am posting again. LJ, why are you such an addiction? >.<

Anyway, before that. Real life.
( SCHOOL BABBLE. So Ignore this. )

iii. Because of Lindsay, I now am obsessed with Wine Red by The Hush Sound. And because I'm a kind soul, everyone else should listen to them and get obsessed like me.
- Their Music Video for Wine Red.
- And then Lindsay happened to give me the album too. A Dark Congregation and Sweet Tangerine have quickly risen to become my favorites. I often like it more when the guy sings so.
- Their songs are totally awesome. *___________________________*

iv. WRITING CHALLENGES THAT I'M DEF JOINING:
- pearljemz's V-day challenge: Info is all here. Everyone should join. <333 I'm just really glad it's on a Thursday because that way I could actually participate. @.@ Except ahahaah, I work the day after. Oh well.
- mujun's 2nd Comment Fic challenge: Info is all here. :DDDD I like the list of people a lot: Koyama, Yamapi, Nakamaru, Jin. I mean. come on. AWESOME. *_________________________*

v. ikimasu_subs released three videos today! :D Two of which I worked on. MESSENGERRRRRRRR!!! <333 Plus the Lips PV. So everyone should go check those out. Because IDK. I like pimping my work? >.> (I DO MY BEST MY WORK. ;alksdflksdjf Never gets old.)

vi. jadedfrenzy, nihongofrancais and I may be doing something insane. And cool all at the same time. Because often insane=cool in my book. :DDD I am beyond excited and CANNOT WAIT. *__________________________* (It may not appear for a while because of timing issues and vacations, but IT'LL WORK ITSELF OUT. :D)

vii. kitsune714 linked to this in her post and I have been showing it to like everyone I know. Including my mom. Who found it ABSOLUTELY HILARIOUS. Bernadette Balagtas, Filipina Comedian - talking about a Year Round Pass and then some.
- And because I'm obsessive, Bernadette on Teri Hatcher's line, And Filipino Nurses. *DIED* I SERIOUSLY WANT MORE. a;sldfkjaslkdfj

ix. MY SISTER FOUND HERSELF ON YOUTUBE. *DYING IN LAUGHTER* Of course, she was a kid back then, but still. Back in the Philippines she was part of a "choir" that signed songs. Ohmygod, so cute.
- The Little Star on Eat Buluga: SHE'S THE PUNIEST ONE THERE. LIKE DIRECTLY IN THE MIDDLE. Also known as the girl who keeps signing too early.
- The Little Star again, Only in concert: This one is a little harder to tell, but I'm PRETTY sure she's the girl at 00:50. I can't tell though. @.@ It's such bad quality.

x. OKAY. WHAT WE'VE ALL BEEN WAITING FOR. Yamapi on ACT Magazine. NNNGH.
( PICSPAM. ;alkdsfjalskjfaksdj I COULDN'T RESIST. )

Okay, this post was abnormally long. ...Okay. Not abnormally. Since I am making up for two days. @.@ Oh man. I hope I don't have to do this every week. Having to skip out on days because I'm too tired to post. T.T (Cyn, the world is just going to have to explode because there's no way I can keep up posting every day at this rate.)

i. My grandmother's home.
My mother's home.
School starts tomorrow.
Hi misery. I haven't seen you in a long time. >.>
(Also, I got tax papers in the mail. ;laksdjflaksjfdlkj Man, have I reached that age already?)

ii. That Jennifer from America fic was posted by cynicalism. :DDD Which is really a Nakamaru/Maki/Yamapi/Jin fic (Yes, I arranged it in that order on purpose. Why do you ask? :D). The entire post has two Nakamaru/Makis and a Jin/Maki that I randomly REALLY WANTED. <3 So go here to check it out. *_________________* Um. Jennifer from America fic is the second one. And is utter hilarity.

iii. I don't often find Matsuda Shota hot (only during Hanadan 2 - I hated his hairstyle in Hanadan 1 and in Liar Game, and through most of Jotei which I still haven't finished). But the first picture here and the first and second in the second row make me ridiculously flaily. *_______________* God.

iv. There is no four.

v. In a fit of randomness, bitofpixiedust and I decided to sub some things. As a hint for things to come, here's two separate videos.
( LK presents RyoPinKame with Seishun Amigo and Nagase and AT-TUN with Hitori Bocchi no Haburashi from 2007-2008 Johnny's Countdown, karaoke subbed. )
