Eps originally watched: 3/9I honestly thought I had seen more of this show - at least 5 episodes, so I was expecting to be able to rip through the rest. Unfortunately, I opened ep 6...then ep 5...then ep 4..THEN double checked to make sure I had actually seen ep 3. I wont lie, this was a difficult show for me. It was hard to me to watch more then about 10 minutes at a time until after ep 6. Nino's character is total fail and dork, and not in a fun way to me. Yamapi amused me, as did Oguri Shun and..the other guy, whose name I don't recall. So, there are our four main characters (not counting Chie), all of whom are 17, and who are (according to rumor) THE LAST FOUR VIRGINS IN SCHOOL. The entire plot revolves around their attempts to lose their virginity. Nino...Nino is not my favorite. I find it hard to see the character behind the little RAT BASTARD that I know Nino really is. So Im generally constantly expecting him to go back to being an evil little ferret that he is in real life. Overall, it's not the best show if you have an embarrassment squick. One of the major plotlines is Shou (Nino's character) being in love with his teacher..and his teacher pretty much leading him on for the first several episodes. I cringed A LOT. But finally, this happened:  and i VERY GRUDGINGLY admitted that it's possible i had a twinge of sympathy. maybe more than a twinge. I MIGHT HAVE GOTTEN TEARY, OK? So, if i wanted to hide through most of this drama, what DID i like about it? The boys. They're adorable in their stupidness, in all honesty. And they are good friends. They're very close.  VERY close.  VERY VERY CLOSE. And yes, that IS Nino and whatshisname staring at Yamapi's penis.  What else did i like? Chie. She's adorable, and she's strong. I had issues with her final storyline and how it was handled, but her, i loved.  Stand Up!! K.O.'d! Next: Long Love Letter Tags: at least rinny loves you nino, do me oguri shun, drama k.o., japan broke my capslock, jdrama, yamapi is ridiculously attractive

princess_dexter suggested DRAMA K.O. for this month - a month long tournament where you knock out all those dramas you've started but never finished, and im totally in. Here's the list I'm looking at, minus the things like Yamada Toro Monogatari and Fated to Love You that I would rather bury in steel coffins under cement on the moon then actually WATCH, and also subtracting things that i would happily finish watching, but cannot due to lack of subs. I AM LOOKING AT YOU INVINCIBLE SHAN BAO MEI. JAPAN -Maou - Stand Up!!-Yoiko no Mikata -Long Love Letter -The Quiz Show (Sho's version) -My Boss My Hero KOREA -My Girl TAIWAN -Wish to See You Again -Queens I make no promises as to what ill finish, what i'll ultimately decide cannot hold my attention, and what i drop out of sheer laziness, but i am going to try! Tonight i watched an ep of Stand Up, and only had to fast forward in embarrassment 4 times! And then I promptly got distracted by an SP with Sho, and Im watching that instead. *facepalm* Maybe March should be DRAMA K.O. for the 8000 dramas you've downloaded, but havent yet even begun..i have..a lot of those. *sigh* Tags: asian list of doom, drama k.o.

After School Nightmare is a manga that is mind fuckery of the highest order, AND IT'S AWESOME! Mashiro Ichijo is a student in a high school, and he has a SECRET. He finds out from the school nurse that he has to take a mysterious class in the basement of the school in order to graduate. This class involves trying to find your way out of your own nightmares - in order to graduate, you have to find the key. In the nightmare, you appear as you truly are - so why the hell is Ichijo wearing a SKIRT in this dream?! ( HINT: This manga involves slash, het, and femslash. ALL OF THEM INVOLVE ICHIJO. )Also, hey look, I made some icons!   Tags: canon gay, crossdressing and genderbending ftw!, it's possible im unhinged, manga is evil, wtf asia

I can't even..begin to tell you the insanity that is Yatterman. I can't explain it. I definitely cannot explain this SCENE, except that it exists, and even though I've watched it multiple times (this scene, not the whole movie), i am still boggled. To start with, I watched Yatterman for one main reason:  Do you blame me? Look at his LIPS. I knew going in that it was A) a kid's movie, and B) based on a earlier Japanese anime. The key part here is KID'S MOVIE. Everybody got that? Ok, onward! ( really, do not blame me for any brain breakage )Tags: dare yori mo mama, i have arashi, japan broke my capslock, oh god japan what have you done to me?, picspammy, sho fails and wins my heart

Thank you all for your kind words about my last post. I refuse to answer comments, because they would consist of flailing and blushing and blurted thank yous, so... I appreciate the support big time! In other news, i have signed up to help tag wrangle at the Archive of Our Own, which should be fun, except for the fact i have no idea what im doing. so, naturally, i signed up for fandoms already. Here's what I've got, although there is some confusion over Beezelbub...which I put my name on, and now anenko's name is there? I dont care, I just wonder how it happened... Regardless! The List! W Juliet Yankee-kun to Megane-chan Green Rider series Nightseer Perilous Gard Benny and Joon Bulletproof Monk Drop Dead Gorgeous Hairspray (2007) Pikanchi Life is Hard Dakedo Happy Brown Sugar Macchiato Hana Kimi-tw Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon Proposal Daisakusen The Inside Yoiko no Mikata Um...wow. In my own defense, 1) i had no idea i signed up for so many, and 2) many of these have maybe 5 fics, tops. So, Im not as crazy as it seems at first glance. Maybe. I AM going to do a fandom roundup, but playing with AO3 has reminded me i need to finish uploading my fic from all my OTHER roundups, so I will get to that shortly. There is a sad lack of fic from 2009, but on the other hand, there have been picspams out the wazoo! Im clinging to that thought and the vague hope i have that one day i will rediscover my writing mojo. Or at least start feeling fandomy about things. Right now the only thing im watching is Little People, Big World on netflix streaming, and no, im not going to fic that. oh, and Hoarders. Im watching that, too. Anyway! I am uploading the rest of my crap to AO3..slowly and painfully, and omg why do i have so many FICS? and why do so many of them reveal the fact that I can't spell?! Quick yuletide reveal! I wrote 1 full length fic, and 2 madness fics - Mostly Harmless for liesofdesire. Young Wizards - request involved wanting something set in winter, but instead of thinking HAPPY CHRISTMAS FIC! I decided to strand them in a cave and try to kill them off. Look, we all have hobbies, mine are just WEIRD, ok? - A Girl's Best Friend for hele. Breakfast Club, set the Monday after. What would happen with Claire and Bender? - In Silence, Coming Home for jan_levine. Fionavar Tapestry. Dave and Kim after coming back home. I wanted to write more madness fics, but then i noticed that all of them were sounding exactly the same, so i stopped. i really wanted to write one where Wednesday Addams burns down the gym the night of her prom, but it didn't happen. Although the idea still amuses me. I also GOT several things! It was all very exciting! OK. Upload fics. Edit. THEN figure out the whole tag wrangling thing! And hope that they send me directions at some point... Oh yeah, and celebrate my birthday tomorrow. :D Tags: ao3, it's possible im unhinged, yuletide

*brightly* so, i havent updated or posted my yuletide reveals or thanked anybody for anything, but everytime i think of what i need to post, i get all overwhelmed and want to go lay down, and watching random movies and Arashi stupidness is ever so much more fun and productive, so i just..dont. and havent. but i will! i think..maybe. anyway, im posting today, because im kind of freaking out, because there's this thing that i havent talked about on here, that's really kind of huge for me, and ive been working on it for a while, and im freaking out right now tonight, because i just did the second to last piece, and had to POST A VIDEO OF IT ON THE INTERNETS OMG WHY. so, im flapping my hands and panicking and wishing we actually had something other than bento boxes to pack lunches in, because paper bags are better when you are hyperventilating. the fact that i am a dork and that is readily appearent on the internet is something that has never been a surprise to me, but the fact that i am a HORRIBLY OBVIOUS DORK and then i RECORDED it, is making me want to go hide in the corner shrieking for a while. regardless, here is my hugely dorky horrible video (that i redid four times because i would suddenly lose the ability to speak coherent sentences somewhere in the middle of Brown Bear, Brown Bear), that i did to apply for my Advanced certification to teach Signing Time classes. the hair is stupid, i never wear make up so i look kind of dead, and i stared at the screen instead of the camera, so it looks like i have no eyes. aaaaaahhhh.

I got TWO full length stories this year, and i am so thrilled, i flapped my hands and made high pitched seal noises! Both are Yankee-kun to Megane-chan, which is a very goofy manga that amuses me more than it should. My stories are: Give Me Your Hand - which is Shinagawa and Adachi and the student council and THUMB WRESTLING, and Shinagawa's dawning horror that he actually likes Adachi. Absolutely hiLARIOUS. The Worst Christmas Ever - which involves Shinagawa getting stuck under something that ISNT EVEN MISTLETOE with Adachi, and I think I choked while reading it because I was laughing. TWO STORIES AND BOTH ARE AMAZING! *spins happily* Wanna read the manga? It's here. and hey! there's a new chapter up! I've gotten a comment from my person, who seems to have liked their story, so YAY! I am just now starting to wade through the archive. This is going to take a long time, and Madness hasn't even opened yet! *flaps hands* Tags: yuletide

princess_dexterasked, forever ago, about my Top Five Drama Heroes. Which I fully plan to do. At some point. But for now? My Top Five Drama Heroines. Also, Im betting there are some surprises on here for most people. Like, I really really love Mei-chan, but Mei isn't on my list. For various reasons. I got a little wordy describing why I love these ladies, so..sorry? Also, to no one's surprise, I really really like ladies with strength and smarts.  1. Makino - Hana Yori Dango Girl is BAD.ASS. She's got crazy guts. She punches Domyouji in the face and remains entirely highly wildly skeptical of continued professed love for her. Actually, she thinks he's insane. She stands up to Darth Mama, who is scary enough to make anybody pee their pants - but she isn't stupid. She walks out of there going OH CRAP WHAT DID I JUST DO? She doesn't back down, she doesn't give up, she loves her family, and will do anything to keep them safe and fed. And all this while being courted in weird ways by a man who should probably be considered a psychopath.  2. Momo - ToGetHer/Superstar Express Momo, for all that she is a shut in and hates being in the public eye, is no shrinking violet. She's fierce in her own way, standing up for what she thinks, and does NOT let Mars walk all over her. Add to that, she has a very big heart, and is always willing to help the people she is close to. She's independent in a quiet way, and, while she doesn't give any bullies well deserved beat downs, she doesn't let them break her, either.  3. Ji-Eun - Full House jdKLASJAKJDSAKLS THIS STUPID SHOW. And yet, I love this girl, as much as I want to punch myself in the face for saying it. Yes, she's immature and her squabbles with Young-Jae are nothing short of pulling each other's pigtails and kicking each other in the shins, but she is hilarious, tough, and frequently wears completely inappropriate heels. SHE LAUNCHES HERSELF OFF THE GROUND TO HEADBUTT YOUNG-JAE IN THE FACE. She drops Young-Jae's grandmother while trying to help her, and the cherry on the top is the fact that she is a FANFIC WRITER.  4. Mako/Sailor Jupiter - Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon I know Usagi is the headliner here, and I love her very much, too. But there is something about Mako that I find so completely compelling. She's cheerful, tomboyish, and takes care of herself. She's a 14 year old who lives on her own, cooks for fun, and is so thrilled to have close friends, even though she is hesitant to get close to anyone. Plus, I find her really really hot. She has this little freckle right above her lip, and my occasional gay breaks through, and I SERIOUSLY want to make out with her and kiss that freckle.  5. Yuki - Summer Snow Summer Snow is a more realistic, quieter show than I usually go for. There is nothing even resembling crack about it. And yet, one of my favorite ladies. She's another quiet one, having struggled with a severe heart condition for her entire life. It very much restricts the activities she is able to do, and yet, she decides to do something crazy and takes a class in scuba diving. She wants a job, love..life. She loves her father, volunteers with sick children at the hospital, and is willing to risk her health in order to actually live. Also, the quality is kinda crappy on these caps, plus, they are tiny, so you get two Tags: breaking my het, five things, follow meme!, girlcrush, hana yori dango, i hate myself and full house too, jdrama, kdrama, korea hates me, picspammy, rainie rocks my world, sailor moon, together, twdrama

I should be writing my yuletide. I had a thought last night - a plan, even. Then I fell asleep, and now I've reread my person's letter, and now Im all second guessy and wibbledly, and wishing i could have written the fic i already wrote in this fandom for this challange, as it fits the details and i really like it, and i have no idea how im going to come close to something like that. I could also be writing Mei-chan apocafic, as I read the epically awesome Arashi fic, The Lost, which is Jun and Sho and ZOMBIES and completely awesome and did i mention the ZOMBIES and the AWESOME? READ IT. Anyway, The Lost made me reconsider my Mei-chan fic, which I though I had lost when my comp died, but i FOUND IT in my email folders, for some reason*, and now im plotting, and this is isnt helping me write my yuletide, you know. so i was thinking then, that i needed to just start throwing ideas out and hoping something will stick at some point. so, there are now THREE sentences written - no relation to the original idea, and im thinking im might just throw over some of the optional details and go with my original thought. because i kind of liked it. hmm. yuletide panic has not yet begin to strike, but tomorrow is Dec 1st, and I desperately want to play with treats and yuletide madness this year, so i need to get this wrestled into shape. grr. *Still never to be recovered: newest parts of Birdy, various porny bits from Hana Dori Yango, something involving Shin and subtle longing and Yankumi being sad and tragically dorky, instead of just hilariously dorky.

Step One - Make a post (public, friends locked, filtered...whatever you're comfortable with) to your LJ. The post should contain your list of 10 holiday wishes. The wishes can be anything at all, from simple and fandom-related ("I'd love a Snape/Hermione icon that's just for me") to medium ("I wish for _____ on DVD") to really big ("All I want for Christmas is a new car/computer/house/TV.") The important thing is, make sure these wishes are things you really, truly want.
- If you wish for real life things (not fics or icons), make sure you include some sort of contact info in your post, whether it's your address or just your email address where Santa (or one of his elves) could get in touch with you.
- Also, make sure you post some version of these guidelines in your LJ, or link to this post (it'll be public) so that the holiday joy will spread.
Step Two - Surf around your friends list (or friendsfriends, or just random journals) to see who has posted their list. And now here's the important part:
- If you see a wish you can grant, and it's in your heart to do so, make someone's wish come true. Sometimes someone's trash is another's treasure, and if you have a leather jacket you don't want or a gift certificate you won't use--or even know where you could get someone's dream purebred Basset Hound for free--do it.
You needn't spend money on these wishes unless you want to. The point isn't to put people out, it's to provide everyone a chance to be someone else's holiday elf--to spread the joy. Gifts can be made anonymously or not--it's your call.
There are no rules with this project, no guarantees, and no strings attached. Just...wish, and it might come true. Give, and you might receive. And you'll have the joy of knowing you made someone's holiday special.My wishes: 1. icons made JUST FOR ME, fandom related or with cool quotes. I'm still heavy into Asian fandom, including Arashi and Yamapi, but Glee and Bones are high on my list as well. I love stock icons, too. I'm still looking for some really cool Halloween icons, for instance. I love icons, i have ridiculous amounts saved to my hard drive, so this is an easy way to make me happy. 2. FIIIIICCCCC. Fic is my very favorite thing on the planet. I love gen and het and slash in all kinds of fandoms. Rec me awesome things, too! 3. Vids! I always love to see vids! If you make them, awesome, but linking me to stuff that is in my interest areas is also awesome. 4. An apron. I desire an apron. Something cute, but not frilly or pink. I'm tired of being covered in flour when Im baking. 5. A cute cloth doll for Voldemort. I love the looks of the Waldorf dolls, but holy crap they are expensive. Id love a boy doll of whatever race - I just really would love one for him that is all cloth, including the head. 6. Some Holztiger animals for the kiddo. These are SO COOL. 7. Audiobooks - I require this to keep me from obsessing about whatever could happen/did happen at work on my 45 min drive to and from work everyday. I put them all on my mp3 player, so if you have any sitting around on your hard drive, i'd love them! 8. This is going to sound rather weird, but I would really really love some homemade vanilla. I can't find any vanilla bean around here, or I'd make it myself. 9. Music mixes - Im always up for new music, and I love fan mixes or just cool mixes. 10. Donate to charity. I love Smile Train, but any charity would be awesome. Or make someone else's wish come true through this meme. :) If you've got a list, please link me! If you want my snail mail info, email me at alianoraATgmailDOTcom. Tags: follow meme, wishlist
