Yes, I am editing and using the post that LJ automatically makes.

I f-lock anything with My Name, my Real Face, or whining about school/real life.
Feel free to add me, but please introduce yourself on this post or I won't add you back. You aren't missing that much, really.

Ignore this. In progress.

Just watch Wendy not actually delete her journal. I love newshfan/Wendy, but at times... She got me into fandom with her subs since I watched all of her subbed version of N.E.W.S. on youtube & then found her LJ and downloaded everything. But this past year especially, her sarcastic, funny comments weren't funny anymore. I mean, actually putting in the effort to cut Kame out of YamaNade promo? Hating on KusaUchi ...T^T (lol jk, I'm just being the annoying 8nin fan I am). But anyways, I hope you don't stop subbing, Wendy. Even if you have typos and sometimes your translations can be a bit off, I prefer speed & download your files when I don't want to download the huge sizes for raws haha. I wanted to copy-paste her summaries too since they make me laugh, but I want to keep this organized.

I don't know if she's planning on getting rid of her MU/MF/SS/etc accounts or not... but she better not. I just copy-pasted from there -______- It would suck to be a new NEWS fan and not get to watch these.


( SHOUNEN CLUB + SCP )


( Ya-Ya-yah Show )

1) I stalked Yamashita Rina's blog yesterday and wanted to save the links somewhere:
( I am a creep )

2) I bought a bunch of shirts from Threadless: Water Balloons, Such a Great Height, & Lost in my Dreams. Reach for the Stars (Hoshi wo Mezashite XD) was sold out :(

3) My toes are bright yellow with a neon pink gradient + pink sparkles. RyoUchi toes! I'd take a picture, but toes are ugly so idwt :P

Happy birthday, Uchi! ♥
Sometimes I wish I didn't like you or Kusano because I know that you two won't come back and there's no point being hopeful, but ...there's also no point knowing NEWS without you two ;P

So I'm sure that everyone's noticed the little facebook & twitter boxes at the bottom of comments & when you're posting a new entry... And I really didn't think much of it until I read that this means that people can repost their comments on your locked entries and link your journal that way to their facebook/twitter.

I don't know about you guys, but I do not want my LJ and FB to ever be connected. I have 2 RL friends on LJ (& one more friend knows about my account), but I trust them to not tell all 500+ of my real life contacts on facebook that I read slash fanfiction about members of Asian boybands.

I'm not saying that I don't trust you guys, but it is really easy to accidentally click on of those little boxes.

You can find out more about this cross-posting issue here. Please spread the word & vote "NOOO I HATE YOU LJ STOP" on these polls: one & two.

Thank you ♥

and not from all the Asian moms who shower completely nude at the YMCA community showers though that hurt my eyes too. I don't like my new glasses and ever increasing eye power.

But anyway, that is not the point of posting only a few hours after my last post.

~*~*~KUNTT performing in Hawaii!!~*~*~
+sparkles.

Honestly, going to Hawaii is still way too expensive. I think it would be more worth it to go to Japan. (Plus not like I want to see KUNTT that much anyways. I want to go to Jin's solo con more for the sake of supporting JE trying to expand in America. Though they aren't trying. And I don't think Jin's having a tour this fall... -__-)

According to random airplane ticket price calculating sites, SFO to Honolulu is about $750 roundtrip and SFO to Narita Airport, Tokyo is close to $800. While I love Hawaii and getting tickets would probably be easier/cheaper than getting tickets for a concert in Japan, I'd much rather go to Japan seeing as I've been to Hawaii four times already.

But having JE concerts in Hawaii is cool =) I hope they're a success! (And no, not just because I want NEWS to come to the States some day-- I actually do like KAT-TUN. and KUNTT somewhat.)

I finally got around to giffing (...is that a word?) the SBS DVD. While pretty much all of the gifs are absolutely useless, I'm posting them anyways just because I need to have a Pi solo con spazzing entry. I can't believe I didn't have one already.

( I mock him because I love him )

What I remember about it from watching it 2/3 weeks ago:
- clear audio of Ao, YAY.
- V & my misheard lyrics for Loveless' b-sides are so much funnier during a performance. I hear "won't you ever ever lick a dick" in ME and "you creep on me, you're stuck in me" in Run From You.
- I think he only lipsynched Loveless (maybe MOLA and a few choruses). Good job, Pi :P
- I really liked Snow Express & ME.
- I... couldn't take ~cool Pi~ seriously and ended up laughing at him multiple times. Even though he is cool normally? idk, I don't get myself.

I want to make gifs for SUMMARY's backstage & all of Soukon, but it took me so long to actually get around to doing this so I don't think that giffing 10.5 hours worth of shows is going to happen any time soon.

I'm not good at coming up with titles.

Why I'm excited for the NEWS album:
- I tend to like album tracks that aren't singles more than the singles. Koi Yake and IZANAIZUKI are two of my favorite NEWS songs.
- A continuation of Chirarizumu/Murarisuto? :D?
- Studio version of share asdklsajaskdla :D I like my N.E.W.S. DVD rip of SNOW EXPRESS better than the one on color, but I want a clear version of share.
- GReeeeN x NEWS collab! I love GReeeeN and weeeek was what introduced me to NEWS :) (though I'd much rather have another weeeek-like hit be a single. even if I can't afford it if it's a double release like pacific & weeeek)
- First NEWS album being released while I'm actively in fandom. idk, it's just exciting.
- I can probably get it as a "farewell eldest daughter, we will miss you ;__;" present from my parents because they're already acting like that.

Why I'm excited for Younha's album:
- omfg her first album since her debut Japanese album in 2005. Her compilation "Teen Songs" or whatever doesn't count.
- I'm hoping that it will have some new songs too, not just all her singles since Touch... but I really wouldn't mind either way :P
- I get irrationally excited about things related to Younha. I was all sad when it was announced that she had swine flu, whereas when I heard that Yamapi and Ryo had it (before Younha did) I was all "meh, they won't die."
- saklfjalkfjjejfal :D

I have enough money from tutoring to buy both... but still, that's so fucking expensive T_T
Buying the Younha one is more about ~supporting the artist~ and I know that I can buy the NEWS one later (je_sales, yahoo auctions, etc), but... I want it.

Unnecessary stuff I want to buy with money I don't have:
- Nishino Kana's second album. Because I have her first one and I do not have enough money to buy all her singles. Girl released singles like crazy after Kimi ni Aitaku Naru Kara!
- Pi's One In a Million LE-B. For the photo. Stupid Pi, why do you have to be so pretty.
- I had a lot more of jpop things I wanted to buy, but really, there's no way I can afford more than 3 albums. I'm okay with waiting for both Kana & Pi because I know I can buy the RE of Kana's later & there'll be copies of Pi's on je_sales months from now too :P

Since this post is focused on music... go listen to this Pokemon + sexual innuendos song if you haven't heard it before. I haven't heard it yet (my parents are home, all my headphones are broken), but I saw the lyrics and damn whoever wrote that is skilled.

I broke my MLIA addiction 3 or 4 months ago, but I still read a few pages when I'm bored. A lot of the posts were about cleverbot.com. I had fun trying to talk to it about JE.

( it said that my life was a waste for being a NEWS fan T__T )

Also, my photobucket died D: My beautiful Pin post, ruined! Ah well, I'm just gonna wait for my limit to reset on August 18th. I don't care enough to reupload everything.

行ってきます~

lol I haven't slept properly for 2 weeks; I don't want to use full sentences.

6 years since NEWS' official debut today~ :D



This song is so lame. The costumes in the PV are painful to look at. The "off shoot" parts of the PV show NEWS wasn't filled with member-ai and whatnot from the start.

...and I still love this song.
~*~NEWS power~*~


So in life today, I had school from 9 to 11. Only art class! I dropped stats. I called my college and they said that my admission wouldn't be affected and I would probably be able to skip statistics with my AP score result (*crosses fingers*). My mom wanted me to drop it since the first week of school. I didn't want to because it's like... giving up. It is giving up-- but I also didn't wanna work my ass off for a C. My schedule is so nice now, pretty much no stress at school :D

but I also feel like an idiot since I could have dropped it 5 months ago at the beginning of the semester with the same benefits and no W on my transcript -__-

You know you love my amazing transitions. Here, a funny PiKame gif

While I am aware that arama has beat me to it, I want my own list / I'm tired of following celebrities I don't care about on twitter. And I want to clear up my bookmarks for the blogs.

Feel free to link me to more people~
( lol also feel free to ignore this spam xD // twittahhh )

Blogs:( very incomplete list of blogs because most of my bookmarks are on my broken laptop )
