Nine things that are awesome and two that aren't

Things That Are Awesome!

1. This icon! Looking at it makes me happy. XD

2. New friends!! Hello, [livejournal.com profile] a_brokenangel, [livejournal.com profile] audny_albatross, [livejournal.com profile] augustfai, [livejournal.com profile] denwa, [livejournal.com profile] fluttering, [livejournal.com profile] hitorikiri, [livejournal.com profile] inuhariko, [livejournal.com profile] karasu_0, [livejournal.com profile] midori_uma, [livejournal.com profile] mutekinonna, [livejournal.com profile] penmi, [livejournal.com profile] roobes83, [livejournal.com profile] sapah_fu, [livejournal.com profile] shigai and [livejournal.com profile] viridian_virtue!! (I really hope I didn't forget anyone!) Um, I may have gone a little crazy on the JE friending meme, I guess, but new friends are always good!! I should probably make an introductory post or something. Maybe tomorrow.

3. HANADAN FINAL! It was awesome and Hanadan-ish and it had THIS AMAZING TIGER PRINT SHIRT!!!** Sometimes I forget how much I love him!

Photobucket

4. "Beautiful Days" goes on sale when I'm in Tokyo!! This means I can go and buy it from an actual shop!! This probably shouldn't be nearly as exciting for me as it is, but, well, it is!! So far, everything about Ryusei no Kizuna seems awesome, though I'm a little worried about the influence Ryo will have on sweet, innocent Nino I haven't been this excited about a new drama since... Maou.

5. I went to the footy on Saturday night (which wasn't awesome) and met [livejournal.com profile] potterette (which was)!! She gave me an awesome pair of St Kilda socks, which cheered me up throughout our 10 goal belting. Because we lost, it was Robert Harvey's last game (he's been playing since 1987, that's 21 years for anyone who can't be bothered adding it up) and everyone spent the last 15 or so minutes cheering his name, it was very emotional. I've never seen so many tough-looking men crying before.

6. It was my sister's birthday the other day. She has always sworn she hates KAT-TUN, but sometimes I'll catch her secretly listening to them, so because I'm hilarious awesome, I bought her Queen of Pirates. I got a text message from her the next day at work that said "Queen of Pirates - more like QUEEN OF AWESOME!" and now I kind of want a t-shirt that says that.

7. Ohmiya Magic!! Riida looks so proud of himself*** for pulling off what was possibly the lamest magic trick since Gob Bluth made the family boat disappear! <3

Photobucket

8. Went to Karaoke for my sister's birthday and we rocked the bollocks out of A.RA.SHI! (Okay, that sounded kind of wrong!) And by rocked, I mean we sang it and did the dance moves, though I can't say if there was anything tuneful involved. I kind of failed at the rap part too. But we still rocked!!

9. Tickets for Arashi in Korea go on sale Wednesday morning and I am getting them. I am determined!! Because apparently NINO is doing NIJI instead of Gimmick Game and there is no freaking way on this planet I'm missing it!


Things That Aren't

1. I'm sick again, or possibly still. I had a throat infection last week and missed a few days of work and today it seems like it's moved to my chest (is that even possible?) and couldn't go in again. Tomorrow seems unlikely too. Luckily, I've been saving like a crazy saving person and this isn't going to screw me up too badly for Japan. (Which is only 5 weeks and 10 hours away, YAY!!)

2. My modem keeps randomly turning itself off, wtf? And when I walk over to reset it, it magically comes back on again, but as soon as I sit down, that's right, off again. It's like a war of wills between the modem and me, and I think the modem has the upper hand. I've got back to skip 100 on my flist, but I think I will have to leave the rest of my catching up for tomorrow, because I can't win this epic standoff while I'm sleepy. XP


**Not behind a cut because Matsufashion makes people's lives 500% better
***Also not cut because Riida is too cute

[identity profile] missmomoko.livejournal.com 2008-09-22 02:33 pm (UTC)(link)
AAAHH I am just green with envy....envy..envy! That you're going. ENVY! Nino singing Niji *cries* so lucky. Actually I LOVE Gimmick Game too so I wouldn't mind either way. But just...gah. *flails*

So glad I got to see Hanadan too. I didn't it was possible. It was SO CUTE. I may have got a bit teary at the end.

[identity profile] ant-power.livejournal.com 2008-10-05 03:01 pm (UTC)(link)
LOL, well provided people start deciding to sell their tickets I'm going. I'm starting to stress out that I won't be able to get them! I love Gimmick Game too, and would love to see Nino do his incredibly hot dance to it, but seeing the clip of Nino doing Niji in the Time concert kind of changed my life, so I'm highly motivated to hunt those tickets down!!

I got teary at the end of Hanadan too, it was so sweet!!

[identity profile] a-brokenangel.livejournal.com 2008-09-22 03:13 pm (UTC)(link)
hey *waves*

so that's the image quality of the movie? *is tempted* noo, I will wait for subs so I can actually understand what they are saying and don't have to stare at their prettiness instead. even though I love staring at the prettiness that is the HYD cast. xD

aww, I soo envy you. whenhow long will you be going to in Tokyo? I cannot believe that the limited edition of the single is apparently already sold at at CDJapan. talking about fast.

yes, the drama is going to be so much win. did you hear that Ryo said that the script involved sex? *is excited*

Ohmiya Magic!! Riida looks so proud of himself*** for pulling off what was possibly the lamest magic trick since Gob Bluth made the family boat disappear! <3
that reminds me that I still have to finish season two and three of arrested development. *sigh* so much to much, so little time.

I still don't have the A.RA.SHI. dance moves figured out. that will be goal before university starts again. *lol*

NIJI ♥ ♥ words can not express my love for this song, and how much I envy you right this very moment.

I'm sorry to hear that you are sick. I hope you'll feel better soon.

[identity profile] ant-power.livejournal.com 2008-10-05 03:06 pm (UTC)(link)
I thought the image quality was okay, for a fancam. I mean, it was watchable, at least.

I'm going to Tokyo in 22 days!!! For about three weeks, it's going to be awesome!!

Yes!! And apparently Erika Toda is only their fake-sister and there will possibly be romance there???

Arrested Development is the greatest (non-Arashi related) show ever!!

I can only do the arm movements, once the feet get involved it all goes to hell! It's all very complicated!!

Niji is my favourite song ever!! <333

whaaa?! how dare you spam my page with matsujun and riida!! ;D

is that version of the hanadan final that [livejournal.com profile] nana_komatsu7 uploaded? is the okay quality? I was waiting for someone to watch it before I wasted my time downloading it in case the quality sucked...

yay for new friends, and lol I made that icon XD

[identity profile] ant-power.livejournal.com 2008-10-05 03:07 pm (UTC)(link)
LOL, yes I'm totally evil!

It's okay quality, for a fancam. I've watched worse.

LOL, that's because you're awesome!! <33

[identity profile] starfishdance.livejournal.com 2008-09-22 04:05 pm (UTC)(link)
YAY YOU WATCHED HANADAN! HOW AWESOME WAS IT!! I LOVE MATSUJUN'S "DON'T TELL ME WHAT I SHOULD OR SHOULDN'T DO, ASSHOLE!" SHIRT!! The entire cinema burst into laughter when he finally turned around long enough for all of us to see it. XDDDD

I have nothing to say about his fashion sense, though. One of my friends who was watching it beside me was going, "oh my god, he is so gay. HE IS SO GAY" every five seconds!

Arashi is just churning out the singles this year, aren't they! I can't say I mind though. Although I was personally hoping that Nino and Ryo would team up to sing the theme song, like Shuji & Akira only they would be called Nino & Ryo! Their temporary unit could be called HOT BROTHERS IN LOVE!!

NIJIIIIIIIIII ♥

GET WELL SOON! ILU! <333333333333

[identity profile] ant-power.livejournal.com 2008-10-05 03:11 pm (UTC)(link)
IT WAS TOTALLY AWESOME!!! That shirt was so great, it totally suited him!! AND I LOVED THE BIT WHERE HE WAS SWEARING AT THE TRUCK DRIVER IN ENGLISH, THAT WAS AWESOME!!! LOL, I think when it comes to Matsujun the gayness is implied. XP

I know, it's like their 84th single this year!! Which is good because it means more Arashi, but I'm kind of thinking they're overworking themselves. I was hoping there would be an awesome Nino & Ryo collaboration too, but ALAS, IT IS NOT MEANT TO BE!! They are totally going to be hot brothers in love though, I can't wait!!!

I MISS YOU!!! And I love your Nino & Sho icon! <33333333333333

I still haven't seen HanaDan.....>.>

Though, I have a reason, I had someone tell me they would go with me, and we haven't made it.


And, actually, it's still in theaters in some places.


*le sigh*

Though, up side, tonight's shukudai-kun had water guns and the guest "confessing" to Nino, with added, Train!Aiba. It makes sense, I swear....

[identity profile] exdream1999.livejournal.com 2008-09-22 04:49 pm (UTC)(link)
Also,
Point the first:
Since you live in a time zone close to mine, I totally have my messengers posted in my info. MSG ME PLZ! Or something....

Point the second:
We are going out to Karaoke when you come to Japan, I need someone to sing Arashi and or other songs with.
As a note, I do know many awesome places in Tokyo, *coughiknowakihabaraverywellcough*

Point the third:
I am convinced that Nino dresses like an Uke.
I have found video/photographic proof.
Though I do not have it here.
But either way, dude, Nino's fashion = very gay. Just in a way different from Jun's.

Point the fourth:
I am very tired, and should sleep, and will possibly head my head in shame at this post later.

Hello! *waves*

I LOVE YOUR ICON, IT'S SO AWESOME <3 i think i mentioned before how much i love it.

I'm really excited about ryusei no kizuna, both nino and ryo in a drama <3

you're getting the ticket for the korea con? so lucky! and yes i love NIJI too, i remember seeing him perform NIJI at the TIME con which was amazing *__*

awes, hope you get better soon! being ill sucks D: *hugs*

I'm trying to get tickets for Korea, but no luck so far. I AM DETERMINED, THOUGH!!

Yeah, definitely. Even if there are no subs, you're better off watching it yourself than being spoiled!

Don't tease me with Hanadan pics, I can't wait for the subs as it is.

Your modem sounds seriously weird. That can't be normal.

[identity profile] ant-power.livejournal.com 2008-10-05 02:50 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm sorry!! But don't you feel happier for knowing that somebody in this world thought to put that tie together with that shirt???

It definitely isn't normal. It's been cutting out every 30 seconds or so every time I try to do something, it's driving me insane!!

More like the other way around! xDDD

Is it just me or is Oh-chan starting to look his age? :o

Get well soon, hon~

LOL, exactly!!

I don't know!! I mean, Nino is like a cheeky little boy in his evilness, but Ryo has a reputation with the ladies, you know? XP

No, I totally agree. I think all of Arashi are starting to look older, but especially Riida and Nino. They both seem very manly lately!!

Thank you! <3333

xDD Yeah, the clothes he's wearing on that movie are priceless, I would like to know where to find some stuff (the shirt he's wearing at the end, for example). It's a great movie~ Now I hope someone will sub it once it will be released, so I can understand lot of things I missed XDDD

*needs to get up to date with VS arashi ><*

;__; I want to see Niji live, too!!

And finally, take caaaare!! Don't get too sick!!

Anything Aibafied is love, I think!!

LOL, but would you really wear Domyouji fashion?? It could be a bit scary!!! It is a great movie, but yeah there are a few things I wished I could understand better, especially near the end.

VSA is hilarious!! I don't think I could ever get sick of watching Arashi catch pipes and things!

[identity profile] augustfai.livejournal.com 2008-09-22 08:23 pm (UTC)(link)
OH HELLO LEADER. My day just got 10% better.

Good luck with the tickets, I hear they're hard to get...and good luck to both of us with the modem problem, since my Internet keeps wonking out on me, too. I just want it to wooork. ;__;

[identity profile] ant-power.livejournal.com 2008-10-05 02:43 pm (UTC)(link)
LEADER IS WAY TOO PRETTY!!

Yeah, so far the ticket thing is pretty much impossible. Everyone has been trying to get rid of Taipei tickets, but not Korea, and if I don't get them soon I'll be in Japan and I won't be able to have them sent to me!

Ah, modem problems are so annoying!! Mine is being okay at the moment but for the past two weeks it just will not stay connected!

You do realise we missed the Brownlow medal count to watch Hanadan. We could have been seeing fashion that made the tiger shirt look tasteful and elegant!

When did I swear I hate Kat-tun? I don't recall that... I'm all about the Kat-awesome!

[identity profile] ant-power.livejournal.com 2008-10-05 02:39 pm (UTC)(link)

hi
i still havent watch the final but i think im just waiting.

I really want to go see Arashi Concert but i guess seeing them at the Countdown is fine too.

Also hope you feel better.

[identity profile] ant-power.livejournal.com 2008-10-05 02:38 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, it's probably better to wait.

Seeing them at the Countdown will be awesome!! Plus, you get to see everyone else too!!

[personal profile] mynamelessname 2008-09-23 04:03 am (UTC)(link)
Hello new friend! :)

Matsujun's shirt is AWESOME! I'm very tempted to watch the Hanadan cam, but I'm forcing myself to wait for subs so I can fully understand everything, instead of bits and pieces.

I'm not really a KAT-TUN fan, but I do really like the Queen of Pirates album, so I can relate to the "Queen of Awesome" thing.

I hope you're feeling better soon and that your modem starts behaving. I was having similar issues with mine a couple weeks ago and it was VERY annoying. D:

[identity profile] ant-power.livejournal.com 2008-10-05 02:34 pm (UTC)(link)
Hello!! XD

Yeah, I kind of wish I'd waited for the subs, because there were a few bits where I was like "...hold on, wtf???". But the shirt made it worthwhile.

Queen of Pirates is a good album, though I haven't really listened to much other KAT-TUN stuff to compare it. I mean, why would you spend time on KAT-TUN when there is Arashi???

My modem is still being wacky, but I am feeling better!! <333

There! I fixed it for you. :D

Riida needs to eat, DAMMIT.

My weekend consisted mainly of Akanishi comparisons, deep analysis of Arashi PVs (with a friend, even!) and improvising JE slash fanfic. In the street. XD

[identity profile] ant-power.livejournal.com 2008-10-05 02:32 pm (UTC)(link)
LOL, thank you!! XP

Yes! I miss Riida's cheeks! And I'm really starting to miss his sticky-up hair, I thought he'd go back to it after Maou but he hasn't. He's still too adorable though.

OMG, I want to hear your PV analysis! And what were you comparing Akanishi to??? XP

The Matsufashion is indeed life-affirming :D

It was SO great to meet you, I can't even tell you. You are very welcome about the socks - I just knew you'd like them, so I sent El out to buy me another pair! (Was going to get one for your sister too, but it was the last :/).

A dissapointing end to the season, I know, but I was very proud of the boys for coming back after half time and not playing as if defeated, even though it looked like they were. CJ and Roo and GODdard are my personal heroes of the match, and Dal can kiss my arse for that pitiful effort (yes, I know he was on Bateman, but seriously, was he even trying??)

Anyway, enjoy the Over-The-Knee Saint Sock Goodness!

[identity profile] ant-power.livejournal.com 2008-10-05 02:30 pm (UTC)(link)
The socks are great, they make me very happy!!! <333333333

I was proud of them for coming back too, they never gave up and that was really good. I thought it was awesome how Hawthorn's win was sort of overshadowed by it being Harvey's last game, it was a really good atmosphere. And I'm kind of pleased Hawthorn beat Geelong too, Geelong really bugged me with their cocky attitude!! Dal didn't really have a great season, did he, only one or two games where he played okay.

Hey, do you have the pics you took of us?? I'd love to see them!

[identity profile] zsilverdragon.livejournal.com 2008-09-23 12:42 pm (UTC)(link)
lol... technology is fun to play with :P Ah well, I hope you get your modem fixed.

Gah! Hanadan! I wanna watch! But have to wait for subs. Damn my poor Japanese skills!!! But, lol, MatsuJun's fashion sense is definitely win XD Thanks for not hiding it behind a cut :P

I hope you get those tickets to Arashi's concert! Like everyone else, I so envy you for getting to see Niji!!! That would be my favourite solo out of all of them next to Take Me Faraway~

Anyway, hope you get better soon and go back to work! I'm starting to feel like I'm ready to collapse anytime myself too with my last semester~ T^T

[identity profile] ant-power.livejournal.com 2008-10-05 02:26 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm not even sure if it's a problem with my modem or my ISP, but it's still being really weird!!

LOL, my Japanese skills are poor too, but I could still follow it. I'm way too impatient to wait for subs!! I think the world would be a much better place if everyone dressed like Matsujun!! XP

I'm still trying to get tickets for Korea, but it's starting to seem a bit hopeless. I'm not giving up though!! Take Me Faraway is such an awesome song, I can't wait for the Dream A Live DVD to come out so we can see the non-fancam version of it.

Ah, take care of yourself!! <3

Yay! I'm excited for RnK too (like I was for Maou), and lucky you get to have the single in Tokyo. And I have to say, because you get to watch Arashi in Korea (and NIJI HOMG), flail for us! LOL.
