I just watched the Snow Prince Choir PV and making of and I am laughing so. hard.

the best part is totally shintarou turning to glare at the kid beside him during vocal practice when he goes flat. He keeps doing it and then finally he's like "you're supposed to go up there X| "

dyinggggg. what on earth are they going to do with this kid when he gets to high school?!

JLPT on Sunday! WAAAH TOO CLOSE. I'm plugging through my grammar book but I definitely should have been done with this way earlier, and my listening is still shit. 試験を倒す！。。。だろう。

After all the whining I did about it, I turned in my JEhols fic on time after all, keeping my 100% success rate (no drop-outs, no extensions). So relieved i didn't sign up for Yuletide though, although if some CB happens to show up I will be thoroughly delighted.

Speaking of that, if you somehow missed Daisy writing gloriously wibble-worthy 5*STAR fic in 500 words or less, you need to go read that right now. Adachiiiiii. GOTO.

Mmmmm payday.

NaNo is once again over. I finished about 45 minutes early with 51,969 words, about 6800 of which I wrote today since I was off all day. Things I learned this year include that writing a prequel is a billion times harder than writing a sequel and I never want to do it again, that breaking up a unit I created just to break them up is still upsetting, and also that you can have five dragon eggs at a time if you breed that last one rather than catch it.

So if you were waiting to see if I finished to read it or to tell me you want on the filter, I finished and so you should read it and/or tell me you want on the filter.

PS, you should also comment on it. Because you know, the only reward I get for putting my entire life on hold for a month while I write you 50k of original boyband fiction? Is comments.

Well, unless you buy a copy of Chaotic Butterfly/Unseen Wings, in which case I'll get $0.50 from Amazon. You can also download a PDF from that link.

So here's the tags for all three 5*STAR NaNos on my journal, which all are on the same filter, because you should go and leave me comments:

Chaotic Butterfly (2007)
Unseen Wings (2008)
Purely By Luck (2009)

ALSO. Did anybody catch on what the joke was about the names of Sakurai's units?

Last dayyyyyyy.

YOSHA.

...I think next year you all should write ME fic for nano.

Lol, you guys better hatch these, because I'm out of room to breed eggs to put at the end of NaNo chapters. FAIL.



and while we're at it, have some pokemon.

From Chapter 8:

"And how are the new Ex PRESS members working out?" Sakurai asked gamely.

"Well," Fujiyama said, still not looking when there was yet another crash behind them, "at least they're cute, ne."

Happy Thanksgiving to everyone who celebrates it, and for those of you who don't, know that we're stuffing ourselves to capacity in your stead. This year, of course, I'm thankful for my family. I'm thankful that my father retired from his job and my mother and I kept ours, that my nephew is healthy, that my grandmother moved safely (and willingly) to live with my aunt down south, and that my baby brother is coming home for Christmas from Italy.

I'm also thankful for modern medicine, I was thinking at the eye dr's last weekend when I had neither contacts nor glasses on in the lobby and couldn't see ten feet in front of me. I'm glad they had antibiotics so I didn't die of an ear infection when I was little and that they fixed my club foot when I was a baby so that nobody now even knows I had one. If I'd been born 100 years ago or maybe even 50, I would be barely able to see or walk or maybe not even be alive, instead of seeming (outwardly) completely normal.

But mostly, I'm thankful for the internet every single day, because the internet is where just about all my real friends are. Being able to have my friends with me wherever I go is what makes traveling tolerable for me, to say nothing of being actually enjoyable. Without LJ and my flist, I would never have made it through grad school in VT, I would have never gone to Marks's wedding last spring, or to CA, and definitely not ever had the courage to go to Japan. I would never have met Anj. I would not have access to the people, the music, or most of the media that I love and that makes it possible tolerate my job and all the people I'm surrounded by in RL. I would be trapped here, and I wouldn't have any clue that there are lots of people just like me all over the world, intelligent and amazing people, and that i'm not that weird after all, and I'm not alone. To make a severe understatement, I would not be happy, and I probably wouldn't even be healthy, and without the internet, I wouldn't have the faintest idea why.

Wah, just made myself cry. SORRY ABOUT THAT. Anyhow, I'm getting picked up for Thanksgiving dinner with the baby nephew any minute so I should post this and go get ready. But I love all of you, and I hope everybody has a happy and food-filled thanksgiving ♥♥♥

Not that Nika is ever impressed with much of anything besides carrots and the noise chewing on his bars makes.

lol i never posted this from like six hours ago. I HAD SUSHI AND MADE PIE.

you'll notice neither of those things is writing.

Agh why can't I WRITE *SOB*

I am so tired sweet jesus.

*thoroughly useless*

Have some things to click. Event egg! Also, the Red dragcave dragons can incubate eggs to help them hatch faster, and the new pink ones can influence gender! THANK GOODNESS because all my shit turns out girls. *gets a million pink dragons*

I went to watch Paranormal Activity with my brother and consequently slept basically not at all. Apparently I could have been home watching Adam Lambert kiss boys on stage! Seems like that would have been a better choice.

to preface this, I am too lazy to do my own research in my own novel:

Mousapelli: do you remember if magyk has a funny capitalization
Jackoweskla: it's MAGYk
M: .....why did i do that
J: i don't know why you did that
M: wtf is that. maybe i thought it would be initials? lmao what the hell k
i bet i just typed it wrong the first time, like didn't hold down the shift key long enough...ah, no, i have an original note here:
"GYM YAY – jr group, acrobatic, six members, group merge of MAGYk and Y Square. Masuda, Shota, Gensai, Yamada, Yasuda, Yosano."
what the shit. author fail.
J: ahahahhaa
M: y square? shouldn't that be y cubed? i was like on drugs
J: it's what the k is for... cubed
M: DYING NO IT ISNT
J: AHAHAHHAHAHA
M: i am cracking up in the middle of the atlantic bread and everyone is staring at me

and then later:

Jackoweskla: i am going to get food, back later
just make more yamashitas

Win:
*Pin on Music Station! ♥♥♥♥♥
*Yamapi's single in general! It's like Yamapi's crash course in English. I adore him. ME is just the best, dirtiest thing in the universe. "Tell me which way you like me~"
*SAT proctoring check came~ at least somebody still loves to send me money. If only my regular job liked to pay me for work I do.
*JAPAN IN LESS THAN A MONTH ALSDKJGSDLKGJAGKJA.

Fail:
*So far behind on NaNo. Ugh.
*Have to go to school play with parents tonight. High school doing Shakespeare is...not desirable.
*have to exchange money and work out the last couple concerts for Japan. the monies ;_;
*also need to buy tires before winter, but am way too lazy to do it. LOL car safety fail.

Double Ultra Fail
*Scheduled eye dr appt to get new contacts, only to be told at the END of the phone call that my insurance stopped carrying my eye dr without telling me. WTF. Maybe you should tell me that AT THE BEGINNING of the phone call.

Hatch it please? These stupid dawn dragons do not work on my time schedule lol.

The JE Fanfiction Feedback & Concrit Meme
Tell me what YOU think of my writing here!

Can we have a JE write my JEhols fic meme next?

Jackoweskla: this is your calling in japan
become kisumai's sweater fairy
Mousapelli: CRYINGGGGGGGGG

cannot stop laughing lmaoooooo

The Flaafy caught the pokerus! oh noes!...lol, actually that's good news. Pokemon is messed up. Also I named that neon green dragon from before "Nikaidon."

There is cold fried chicken in my fridge and I WANT IT. but then dinner will be too early D: JIRENMA.

/random

I think everybody ought to know that I just restarted Kamen Rider Kabuto.

I AM THE MAN WHO WALKS THE PATH OF HEAVEN.

I cleaned the guinea pig, the rat, and the bathroom, so now I feel accomplished. Although now I am way too lazy to find food.

Beth and I had a burst of Japan planning and decided to go for both Nagoya shows, since they look...not astronomical. It's sort of unclear which show it will be easiest to get better seats for, so I'm going to wait to see what we ended up for from YokoAri and go from there. On the other hand, we decided that minus Yabu, we can skip HSJ. Turns out I have totally strong feelings about Yabu and Hikaru being separated, lol. Ah well, maybe they'll be a duo next time i'm there.

I want an onigiri like you just would not believe. waaaaaaaant.

From the email United Airlines just sent me with their special offers:

"Explore Asia for 10% less!
Book your ski vacation to beautiful Canada and receive a FREE four-day lift ticket, plus 5,000 Mileage Plus® bonus miles per adult."

I have to say, that's a part of Asia I have not been to! Although I bet shinigamitabris probably had a plane routed through there once.

*starts trying to catch up with the missing dragons*

writing = hard. and on that note, go write something for je100! This week you can pick any of the previous challenges (list of prompts here). I'm trying to write something for Tottsu's birthday but it isn't exactly going like gangbusters, lol.

My throat hurts! what the hell.
