Oh shit, that is spot on. Color me impressed!

Okay, I have to share this because it is probably the cutest thing I have ever seen, no joke. You don't really need any prior knowledge whatsoever other than the fact that Kirk and Spock had been separated for a while before this.



THEY ARE SO AMAZING, THESE TWO. I am a convert, I think.

Additionally, this here picture makes my life. I'd like to just go ahead and admit right now that I find forty-odd-years-ago Shatner hot. KIND OF ASHAMED, but it can't be helped. It, uhh, doesn't help that pinstrip suits are kind of a kink of mine.

As should be obvious at this point, I am getting dragged into the land of Star Trek: The Original Series. THIS IS ALL nest's FAULT. I have seen three full episodes (with plans to see all of it eventually), watched way too many clips on YouTube, and scoured devart for both TOS and 09 fanart. How did my life end up like this.

In other news, I bought this month's ガンガン (the monthly publication that Fullmetal Alchemist chapters come out in) because the free item that came with it was a Fullmetal Alchemist pencil case. AWWWW YEAH. It is red and I was pleasantly surprised to see that it had Ling on it. No Hughes, Kimbley, Greed, or Havoc, though. But man, I am way too excited for something like this. Honestly, this stuff is made for Japanese middle school boys to buy and then show off to all their friends so that they all go buy it too -- and here I am, a 20-year-old college student getting all psyched about a pencil case.

Life is strange.

Lastly, BRB GOING TO TOKYO. The whole gang (aka evildrew, endless_abyss, lacidiana, and pandaheero) is coming to visit me and to sightsee, so I'm going with nest to meet up with them there. VERY MUCH EXCITED FOR THIS, it has been too long without my nakama. :(

Oh man, my weekend was busy. I dressed up and also had naked party times (aka went to a public bath/onsen thing), but the real point of this post:

For some reason, it's Final Fantasy VI music more than anything else that makes me nostalgic like hell. FFVII music sometimes does it too, but FFVI even more so. I'm not quite sure why since I was introduced to both in the same stage of my childhood, but if a song from it (or a remix) comes up on my playlist suddenly I'm all natsukashii. It's weird because it's a very bittersweet feeling.

I don't really know why I felt the need to post about this, but it probably had something to do with avoiding homework which really needs to be done. My hours of sleep are just dwindling away...

So murasaki_kaze was nice enough to invite me along to go see Star Trek with her and a bunch of her friends. It was my first time seeing a movie in Japan, so that was cool, and the fact that there was no stadium seating didn't matter since... people in Japan are short, okay. 8D

Anyway, the movie was fantastic and you all weren't lying when you raved about it! I thoroughly enjoyed it, and this is coming from someone who is woefully ignorant about Star Trek for the most part. Seriously, I know so little about the original series that it's sad, though I've watched a good amount of TNG episodes. I just know I missed out on tons of references because of that, but oh well.

But yeah, the acting was good, the interaction was good, the action parts were good, and there were just so many well-done scenes. I was enjoying it the whole time and didn't want it to end, though at the same time it didn't drag on. It also helped that I honestly liked all of the characters, so no matter what was going on or who was doing stuff, I was happy.

Zachary Quinto was awesome and I'm so happy that he got such a big break. I look forward to seeing more of him down the line, since I really do think he's a talented actor. Seriously, after the first scene or so my brain stopped going SYLARSYLARSYLAR because he was doing such a good job.

( More vaguely spoilery stuff under the cut. )

Bottom line: A++, will watch again. Also, if anyone has any fic recs...

So I'm kinda sorta tossing around the idea of getting a Sony PSP.

IS THIS A GOOD IDEA, FLIST? Give me your thoughts! I'm not even sure how feasible it is, but I've been tempted lately. There are a good amount of games for it that I would want, and I don't think I'll be getting a PS3 anytime soon, so...

Anyway! ADVICE PLZ. Either for or against it. 8D

So! Like many other people, I have two dreamwidth codes that are up for grabs! I'm pretty sure all the people I promised them to have already gotten them by other means, so yeah, if anyone's still in search of one (or just wants an extra code), let me know! First-come, first-serve.

You know, it's pretty cool being able to do rough translations of bits of raw manga chapters. It's not much, but even getting a gist of what's going on is pretty awesome.

On that note, I am caught up with the FMA manga, and man, shit went down. I'm really excited to see where things go from here.

All right! So I went ahead and got a dreamwidth account (thanks to the lovely mirror) since it seemed neat that you could crosspost and I was curious. Uhh, it also had a lot to do with the fact that court wasn't taken, and I've always wanted a simple name like that. I guess I could have gotten something that sounded cool, but... I wanted my name. Or the shortened version, at least. SO YES, please go ahead and add me and I'll try not to fail at figuring out how this site works. I'm testing the crossposting right now.

Also, I know I have a ton of memes that I need to fill out, and I'll try to get to that tomorrow. I'm pretty tired now after chilling with Kaze for the past two days, which was a blast and I bought way too much stuff, but... worth it. Yes. I should really post about it on my Japan journal, mrrr. I also played a little bit of Crisis Core and pawed at Zack and his improved hairdo.

I hope everyone is doing well!

Dammit, I suck at getting to bed on time. I was much better at this back home for some reason. Seriously, I didn't even go anywhere today (other than school) and yet I still wasted copious amounts of time on unproductive things and now I should really sleep, but I feel obligated to do some app-related stuff and whatnot, and...

Gah. But I had fun doing non-productive things, and yet I still feel guilty! Also, I will regret this in the morning.

I'm sorry, guys. I feel bad that I'm failing so hard at being a proper mod and and and yeah. Will try to be better. Forgive me. :(

(In happier news, look! Peter mood theme!)

FULLMETAL ALCHEMIST IS ON MY TV RIGHT NOW

THIS IS AWESOME

I just had to post this. Credit goes to stars_keeper for making the gif.



Also, I'm considering putting up a Peter mood theme since laverinth helped me find one.

So... is it normal for taking either a multivitamin or a calcium pill to cause vomiting? I've been trying to take them while in Japan to make sure I stay healthy and all that. Usually it's been fine, but this morning I ate a banana (since it says you need to take them with food) and then took the pills... and as I was heading out the door for class, I suddenly felt very, very sick. Annnd you know how the story ends.

I'm thinking it's either because I needed to eat more or because I did it in the morning, since I generally don't eat too soon after I wake up.

I felt totally fine afterward, so I'm just kinda confused. Also sadfacing because I haven't thrown up in years and I didn't want to break my streak.

But yeah, if anyone has an explanation for a random onset of nausea from mainly harmless(?) pills, please let me know. 8D;;

So~~ooo~~

I've already met this great guy here in Japan. He's Japanese (of course♥) and his name is Tatsuya. He's super super cute (ka~wa~ii) and I think I'm finally in love♥

I know I said I wasn't big on dating, and that getting involved in a relationship while abroad is stupid, but he makes my heart go dokidoki♥

He's very dedicated to Japan and Japanese Studies, which is why he's already asked me if I'll stay in Japan with him. How can I say no to a face like this?? Plus, he's got a lot of $$ so he'll probably buy me all of the anime/manga goods that I want♥

If I do ever go back to America (not likely!!), he said he wants me to look into some things "for the sake of Japan." He said it was a shame I wasn't a Political Science major. I wonder what he means? Oh, but he's so cute I don't care what he says♥

When I asked him if it was okay to go home for a little bit, though, he got kind of angry. He shoved me, but I know it was an accident!! So it'll be okay. Anyway, Japan is just way way better than America no matter what way you look at it, so I don't see any reason to go back right now.

I probably won't be around as much. I mean, Tatsuya takes up all my time♥ It's hard enough for me to break away from him to write this. I need to be by his side always.

So if I don't update very often, that's why. Live good lives, guys! Sayonara♥

So... they're making a Denzel (from Advent Children) anime? Seriously? They could have made an anime about... so many other, better things.

Also, a bought a jacket today! I'm pretty fond of it. Things are stressful but I'm doing my best to keep a positive attitude. ♥ I hope everyone on my flist is doing well!

As promised:


japanspam!!


Friend at will! It's all open, so if you want updates on what I'm doing in Japan (with pictures), feel free to check it out. I made my first entry, finally, so that's here.

Pokemon is on TV right now, HAHAHA. How is it that it seems like nothing has changed even though it's been on for years now. Meowth is impossible to understand. AWWW PIPLUP SO CUTE.

Second day in Japan was successful!

I need some suggestions for a username idea for the journal where I'm going to talk about of all this Japan stuff. If you have any ideas, please let me know! I love you, flist. ♥ TALK TO ME ABOUT WHAT'S UP WITH YOU. I want updates about what people are doing since I haven't had the chance to chat with people online too much yet. Or just comment with random stuff! Spam is tasty.

As promised, here is the announcement that I am in Japan safely and stuff! I'm in a random hotel in Kyoto, and I'll be moved into my apartment by tomorrow night. Some more explanation and pictures should be coming soon (probably going to make a journal dedicated to my trip abroad), once I'm not dead after that flight. I don't even want to think about how long I've been awake and how little sleep I'm running on.

Hope everyone's doing well!

Okay, leaving for the airport now! Will be in Japan eventually. I'll update again once I get there!

the¿Who Should I Play?meme

Whoo, I am home! Leaving in a few minutes to go see Watchmen.

Two papers and one final down! One paper and two finals to go. Though I'm hoping to get that remaining paper done tomorrow if all goes well. I am pumped up with inspiration all of a sudden! I think it's due to the fact that I'm actually really proud of one of the papers I wrote. I resorted to doing an outline for it, which I usually don't bother with, and it helped a lot. I'm really happy with the end result. (Let's just hope my professor feels the same way.) It's nice to be proud of something school-related, though.

Even though I'm also kind of pissed at myself since I've been pulling a lot of B's this quarter. Hoping that my papers and finals will turn out better. At least I've been doing well in my Japanese class, though.

I'm going home from Saturday through Tuesday so that I can get my Visa and take care of other Japan-related preparations -- and also to see my buds and watch Watchmen. Haven't seen it yet since I was busy last weekend. Curious to see what I think of it now that I've gotten an idea of people's reactions.

Me and my roommate got accosted by Mormons today. That was... interesting. They were actually pretty cute. What a waste!

I've gotten a lot of tasty new music recently. It's exciting. Although one of them is a BSB song and I'm dying of shame over here.

Anyway, onto the good stuff! By which I mean tonight's Supernatural.

( Supernatural 415, Death Takes a Holiday )

Gonna go shower and then the rest of the night will be for posts and Crisis Core. I'm up to chapter 5 of that game, by the way. Missions keep taking up all of my playing time. WHOOPS.
