May is awesome so far, and this is why:

1. Bought the Arashi Around Asia DVD for $15!! How super-cheap is that! It is awesome and full of Ohmiya love and Matsujun having pretty hair and OF COURSE SPARKLY COSTUMES!!! There were many awesome moments of Matsujun being pretty and getting cranky with the rest of Arashi for interrupting his hair stylist. And lots of Ohmiya, which made me very happy!!! My Japanese is definitely improving, because I could understand like maybe 4% of what they said. For the rest of it, my sister and I just made up our own dialogue. Like this:

Sho: I am talking about the tour and stuff.
Ohno: If you don't get your hand off Nino's leg, I am going to kill you.
Matsujun: Do you think I look pretty? How is my hair?


2. $246 flights to Japan!!! THAT IS INSANELY CHEAP! AND A SECOND PERSON GETS TO FLY FOR $4!!! YES, FOUR DOLLARS!!! This means we are going in Oct/Nov this year instead of some time next year! DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA HOW EXCITED I AM??? We are going to book our flights this afternoon! XDDDDDD

3. I am almost finished chapter 3 of my novel! GO ME! I AM AWESOME!

4. I've been so super-good this past week that I am not banned from ANYTHING!!! starfishdance, if you're around later tonight, I will be on MSN - I HAVE MISSED YOU!!!

5. I bought a SPARKLY PINK BERET and it is awesome! Because it's sparkly. And pink.

6. Did I mention how excited I am about the Japan thing?? Because I'm insanely excited!

7. Tonight I am going to see my footy team play and WE ARE NOT GOING TO LOSE ANOTHER GAME THIS YEAR! I was a bit nervous because I took my lucky cups to the Geelong game a few weeks ago and we still lost, but now I've figured out that it's my Astro Boy underpants that make us win, and nothing to do with the lucky cups at all!! I HAVE THIS TOTALLY SORTED!

8. I think there was other stuff, but I'm too excited about the Japan thing to think of it.


I've been really slack with LJ this week. I tried to catch up with my flist, but it's possible I've missed stuff. If so, do tell me!!! I am also very behind on all my shows and various fandom stuffs. Possibly, one day I'll catch up.

Okay, now I'll meme. Can meme be used as a verb, anyway???

It was one of those days where nothing actually bad happened, just a bunch of really annoying small things.

Things that sucked about today

1. Downloaded the Arashi "Time" concert and then the files wouldn't work!!! angst rating: 5/5

2. Did all my washing up, only to realise after I was done that I'd missed a bunch of stuff. angst rating: 2/5

3. My pen fell behind the couch, which meant I had to move my bookcase, so that I could move my couch to get it. angst rating: 3/5

4. Fell asleep for the whole afternoon and therefore got nothing done. angst rating: 3/5

5. Nearly to the next part of Phoenix Wright when the DS suddenly died for no reason. angst rating: 4/5

6. Randomly dropping stuff/other klutziness. angst rating: 3/5


Went to Alphabet City for dinner, which was okay. It's kind of depressing without my coffee boy though.

Came home and chatted to starfishdance, which cheered me up immeasurably. We thought up fake subs for KAT-TUN's Lips PV, which we may post some day, if we ever work out how to actually sub something.


Now, meme!!

Post a comment giving me a compliment and I will do the same in return.

Yay for feeling the love and all that.

I have absolutely nothing to post about, I just really wanted to use this icon.

Erm... I will post random stuff in point form!!

1. So it's April, but I don't want to turn over my calendar, because March was pretty Uchiha month. April is Neji, Lee, Shika and Kiba, which is kind of weird because IT IS SORT OF FOLLOWING THE MANGA! WAS THIS PLANNED???

2. Today I made plans to go to the football with my ex-housemate on Friday. My randomly-inappropriate-ex-boyfriend was going to come, but now he's not. I'm kind of relieved.

3. Tomorrow is payday! This is awesome because I have no food. I'm not exaggerating when I say this. Well, I have butter, but that's not really good on its own.

4. Last night starfishdance and I wrote badfic! Akame badfic! It is super-awesome, Kame and Jin discover that they are BROTHERS and they are heartbroken because they are also LOVERS!! IT IS TRAGICAL AND AWESOME, but I think we kind of failed in a way because it's not nearly as bad as some of the Akame badfic that isn't written for the LOLZ.

5. I can't stop watching this Arashi video where they're playing this game and Matsujun keeps getting punished and they make him wear a stocking over his head and do stupid dances and things. IT'S LIKE THE MOST AWESOME THING EVER! I really need to marry him.

6. I should totally do some writing but I think I'll probably plan Final Fantasy XII instead.

7. Speaking of writing, I am going to write this awesome JE fic where all the bands live together on this street and have wacky hijinx. Jin and Yamapi will send secret messages to each other from their bedroom windows and Arashi will randomly prank people. It's going to be awesome.

8. I also have to write KAT-TUN VS NEWS FIC for starfishdance, wherein they are rival gangs, but both are secretly controlled by Johnny. BUT JIN AND YAMAPI BRING EVERYONE TOGETHER WITH LOVE!

9. Also, I haven't forgotten that I promised everyone drabbles from way back in this post. There are still a few to be claimed if anyone is interested.

10. My coffee boy is leaving on Sunday. I want to make him a nice present, because I give everyone else stuff, but I don't know what to make him. I was going to make him a paper mache Mischa Barton, because he loves her, but then I decided it was way too much work.

11. I want to make Matsujun picspam post, but I'm feeling way too lazy. Maybe next post I will.

12. Because he's awesome.

Happy Valentine's Day! I feel like I should do something for it, like a meme or something...

OKAY, RIGHT!

If you reply to this post, then I'll tell you in five words or less why I think you're awesome!!!


I am so freaking hungry.


( how Ant intends to cure Chronic Fatigue - WITH STATIONERY!!!! )

Also, so starfishdance can get her revenge, I will do this meme.

Name three Anime Characters.
I have to pick one to push off a cliff, one to marry, and one to have sex with.
Do it as many times as you want.

I've had a crappy couple of days. First up, my freezer EXPLODED! Only, I didn't realise it was my freezer and the power kept shutting off for the whole house. Anyway, so that sucked.

Then my TOOTH CHIPPED. And it was a front tooth and now I will have to go to the dentist and that sucks too.

Other crap stuff happened too, but I don't remember what. Anyway, I was in a bad mood, so I read Animehead's The Nerd and that cheered me up, somewhat. I love how Naruto is the popular guy with all the fangirls and Sasuke is, well, a nerd. It's hilarious.

Went to the doctor today. She wants me to try this drug that will make me less Chronically Fatigued, but will have other side effects that sound icky. I guess I'll give it a go.

So, I started watching Death Note, because everyone says it's awesome, and you know what? They were TOTALLY RIGHT! I've only watched the first two episodes, which is about where I've read up to in the manga as well AND I NEED MORE OMG! I'd post my thoughts on it, but I don't have anything interesting to say, as yet.

I need sleep.

I feel like I should update, as I haven't posted since October, but I don't really have much interesting to say.

So, mainly, I've been watching anime. I finished watching Naruto, then I watched Ouran High School Host Club, which was the most awesome thing to ever awesome. Then I watched Bleach and Fruits Basket. I still love Naruto best though, the crazy little ball of ninja angst. I tried watching Avatar but it seemed a bit lame. I might finish at some point but probably not, because next I want to watch Death Note and Gravitation and The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya.

What else have I done??? Um... I beat Final Fantasy X!!! Yes, I'm awesome, only like 5 years after the rest of the world. I had a bit of trouble with Seymour on the mountaintop, that blue fuck, but then I just leveled up a bunch and was fine from there. Am now playing FFXII but don't like it as much. Vaan is kind of gay and nowhere near as awesome as Tidus. I like Basch though, and Balthier.

Had a good Christmas. My nephew gave me an INFLATABLE TARDIS, which is FREAKING AWESOME! I can sit inside it with my blanket and read my book.

Read the Supernatural book, the one where they're at the Grand Canyon. It was LAME and very OOC. It made me weep tears of blood for its badness. On the other hand, the new eps of the actual show are SUPER-AWESOME, if only we didn't have to wait like ten years between each one.

My sister and I also watched all 9 seasons of X-Files. I have many things to say about it, only they've probably been said by everyone else ten years ago, so I won't bother. I am in love with Scully's boobs though. They are some fantastic boobs.

I've been to the movies a bit, on account of it's air-conditioned and it's crazy hot here. I saw The Darjeeling Limited, which I loved for all, The Golden Compass, which was nowhere near as good as the book, and Atonement, which I HATED WITH THE PASSION OF 1000 FIERY SUNS. Somebody give Keira Knightley a burger, STAT!

I think that's all the news from Antland. I really don't have a life, so much.

I still haven't posted a reaction post to last week's Supernatural. This is mainly because I cannot say anything that hasn't been said and really it would just be a massive OMG AWESOME, and then a bit of OMG OMG OMG I LOVE THEM! Possibly ending with some OMG HOW CAN I WAIT A WHOLE MONTH. I plan on rewatching the whole lot again from the start during hiatus and will probably say clever things as I go.

Anyway, so Prison Break?

( Once again I lose with the Death Tipping )


( And HEROES??? )

Anyway, in other news, I am changing ISPs and as of probably tomorrow I won't have the internets for a week or two. Tragic, I know, but I figure it's a good time with my show on hiatus and all. I'm going to spend the rest of today saving fanfic into word docs so I can read when I am cut off, so if ANYBODY HAS ANY RECS PLEASE LET ME KNOW BECAUSE I AM GOING TO BE BONE DRY OF FIC! Also, if anything important happens, like Jared and Jensen announce their Big Love to the world or we get renewed for a third season, PLEASE COMMENT AND TELL ME! Or just comment anyway so that when I come back online I feel loved.

OMG I AM GOING TO MISS YOU ALL VERY MUCH!!! (Though I will probably be back tomorrow.)

Also, JARED BASHING IS FROM THE DEVIL! The fandom is lovely and I hope something like this doesn't turn it into a wankfest. He's busy making our show, so that's a good thing, right? (Says the girl who had no hope of going to Fangoria anyway.)

I have been slack with LJ comments and whatnot the last few days, because I've been OMG actually writing. I swear I'll catch up with everything tomorrow, but right now it's 3am and I'm basking in the glow of my fully-edited and pretty much awesomely finished chapter one. It's over 15,000 words, which is possibly kind of excessive but I'm not thinking about that right now.

My main character is turning into Jared Padalecki. I'm having trouble seeing this as a bad thing, however.

Hello, we are Sam and Dean Fishchester and we are here to tell you about our day of dandy adventures!

( Our Day of Dandy Adventures! )

Okay, so as part of my whole 'getting into a routine so my brain is less crazy' experiment, I am trying to post on LJ every day. Of course, I do nothing with my life but sit about staring into space, which isn't terribly interesting, so I shall find random other things to post about. Today, it is the place where I live.


The Sharehouse of DOOM! (Or, Tales from the Hovel)


There are four people who live in my house, including myself.

Me - as you already know, I rock. My room is the very front room. I have a big bay window but haven't got around to getting curtains, so I just have these shower curtains that are pink with flying geese on them. I kind of like them, and because my window has a gap at the top, the curtains are functional as well as decorative. My room is the only room with carpet, and that's good because the floorboards have cracks in them and I think there are things living under the house. My walls are green and that makes me happy.


My Sister - she lives in the room across the hall. Sometimes she bugs me, but mostly she is okay. She hates other people in the house and gets a bit cranky if they do annoying stuff, like breathing. She is plotting to kill the other housemates and I am starting to wonder if she's kidding or not.

She likes to make up songs about things and do little dances. She's especially fond of roadtrips to Torquay in the summer, but mainly when the A/C in the car is working. I don't think she particularly likes pina coladas or long walks in the rain though.


Noel - stinky old man in the room next to me. He has prostate trouble and keeps us all aware of this by never flushing the toilet. He is like one of those packrat people you see on Sixty Minutes or something where he has so much crap in his room, just stacked up on each other, and now he's started storing it in the hallway. He has three cars outside, but he doesn't drive them, he just uses them to store his crap. It's not even useful crap, it's like offcuts of wood and empty containers and shit like that.

Sometimes he does 'handy' stuff around the house, like grindsawing outside your bedroom window early in the morning for no apparent reason (and of course he leaves the chopped up bits of stuff in the hall), but never seems to do anything useful, like changing the lightglobes, cleaning up his dirty dishes or buying his own toilet paper.

Yesterday he was walking around the house without his shirt on, and he has no belly button.


Richie - creepy stoner guy. He lives in the room next to Noel, across the hall from my sister. Richie works for our landlord, but I think he may have got the sack. He looks like a stoner straight from 1992, and may actually be Jay from Clerks' secret brother. He only comes home about once a week, and when he does he brings noisy friends who talk very loud all night. When he comes home our food goes missing out of the cupboard, though it's inconclusive as to whether Richie takes it or if it's Noel blaming it on Richie.

One time, Richie was in the bathroom for 20 minutes and when my sister went in there later, his porn mag was still on the sink. We laughed a lot.


Dead Zoe - Zoe used to live in the back room, next to my sister. One day we were chatting la la la about house things and the next day her creepy thug boyfriend was here "getting her stuff" because she was moving out. She never came to get any of her stuff, and he didn't take anything like her clothing or underwear, furniture, books or anything a person would take (because you can't not go snooping in her room when something like this happens), and we never saw her again.

The wheelie bin was very heavy after they left and we strongly suspect that pieces of Zoe were in it, but we cannot be sure, because we didn't actually look.

Since Zoe "moved out", strange ppl keep coming to the house looking for her. One time a guy actually walked right in and was snooping around. One guy tried to sell me drugs, one guy tried to chat me up and all of them ask weird questions and contradict themselves. In the weeks before Zoe's disappearance, people kept coming to the house with strange packages for her.

We suspect that either Zoe stole someone's drugs/drug money, she was in witness protection or she's actually trapped under the house living on rats and things, but we may never know.

One thing everyone in the house agrees on (except Richie because he's never here) is that something fishy is going on.


The Landlords - dodgy, dodgy folks. You know those self-made kind of middle-aged tradie guys who think they're so awesome because they have money now, and that gives them the right to be rude to everyone, because they have employees? Well, that's Mick, our landlord. He lays carpet and thinks he rules the carpet world. He comes in once every couple of months, looks around the house, makes rude comments, tells us we don't pay him enough to live in this hovel and then leaves.

Caitlin is his daughter. She comes around every so often to get the rent. Sometimes she forgets and she always loses the reciept book and tries to make out like you owe more than you do. I keep my reciepts in a safe place now. She's studying business at Catholic college and would probably be fairly inoffensive if she didn't keep waking me up to give her money. She's pretty much her father's hench-bimbo.

Mick's dad actually owns the house, and we think they're just waiting for the old guy to die so they can tear down the house and build flats. We think that Mick's dad hasn't told the pension people he owns this house, because they're always very cagey about signing forms and giving out any information at all.


The House - would be very nice if anyone had ever spent any money on it. It's an old Victorian house with bay windows and high ceilings and polished floorboards and amazing fireplaces. We have this great wooden decking out the back and a huge yard, but Noel has all his paint stuff on the decking and clothes soaking in buckets, and the garden is a terrifying jungle.

Because it's such a weird set-up, with the landlords renting out each room seperately and being so dodgy about it, people who live here are also a little dodgy and skip out on their rent and things, and they tend to leave stuff behind, so the lounge room and back porch and laundry are full of stuff people have left behind. Couches and tables and one of those ugly posters where Marilyn Monroe and Elvis and James Dean are all sitting at a bar. The lounge room is painted orange. The window in the bathroom won't close at the top, so it's always very cold in there.

It's on a very busy street and my room is right at the front so all day and all night there are cars playing doof-doofy music and people talking and other loud things. Around the corner are the High Street shops, with many nifty things like the bakehouse with awesome cupcakes and the bar with friendly lesbians and our very favourite ever cafe with choco-nana balls and the loveliest waiters ever, but more about that another day.


And that is the place where I live.
