How do i love thee? Let me count the ways....

Beth, DJ, and I are in the Apple Store in Shinsaibashi, as I love to be (although this year i will not be buying a computer lol). I bought a sexy puffy jacket in the Shinsaibashi covered mall, and we went to the uniqlo, and had tiramisu crepes!

AND. AND AND AND. WE FOUND IT. THE PLUSHI SHINKANSEN. UWAIIII.

I just love Japan so much oh my god *sniffles* And now Beth and i are going to check out the ipods, yo, and i'll try to wrangle a new store sticker out of the guys for my macbook.

shinigamitabris, I'll try to get lost in your honor.

im backkkk. like anybody cares anyways. lol. quick update. my eljay seem to be lacking in words and im not quite sure i like that. well, the cruise wasnt exactly all that fun. but my mom was super excited about it, cant be a wet blanket. (A) it was basically just us, spending the entire day eating and eating, and eating. no kid! there wasnt much to do on board. i mean line-dancing, karaoke, uber mini 'golf course', a small rock wall.. the activities are all either for the middle-aged and above/ kids 10 years and below. there wasnt many teenagers really. so most of the time, we''d spend walking around the vessel/ in our room getting ready/ eating and eating and eating, buffet after buffet. the aftermath? me being at my highest weight in my entire life ever. =/// eurgh. kimberlyyy, let's go gym/ play netball please!!!

i should be turning in soon i reckon. gonna have to get my jab tomorrow and meet aline after that. dental the day after followed by drinks at night(?) with the girls. Christmas-eve and Christmas-no plans. 2 more days and then we're off to Los Angeles to freeze my arse off in the snow. cant wait. {:

Kisumai cons were lots of fun! We had half-decent seats for early show and stands for late, but the carts came around right behind us so even they weren't terrible. Everybody's ridiculously attractive live *__* And the setup of the stage is really cool with all the ramps and poles and the lights are all in name order ♥

And then we got yakiniku. Mmmmm so tasty. I made snowqueenofhoth do all the ordering because she knows what she's doing. うまい〜

In less thrilling news, the AU store seemed to think our borrowed prepaid cell phone was useless, which would be just a minor irritant if we hadn't already bought the minutes for it. Anybody need 5,000Y worth of AU prepaid minutes?

Waah, I kind of can't believe it since it's not summer and I was just at work yesterday, but Beth and I are leaving in about ten minutes.

DON'T BREAK THE INTERNET UNTIL WE ARE IN YOKOHAMA.

Coffee milk and shinkansen waaaaant. I used my double fast luck and everything. LET'S DO THIS THING.

, and all my material stuff is getting to me. It's annoying, it's pointless, it's in the way and I don't want it. I've always been a bit of a materialist I guess, but it seems so pointless atm. Does anyone want some stuff?

I have lots of kids' Pokémon books (only little ones in black and white, mainly free with magazines =P) including puzzle books and 'learn to draw Pokémon' things)

a microscope with lots of sciency bits: slides, prepared slides, specimen vials, forceps, biochambers, petri dish.... etc gone to a relative's kid girl

Lots of GameBoy/GameBoy Advance stuff. Three different lights, 6 stackable GBA game cases, game storage tower, two-way GBC or GBA link cable, four way GBC or GBA link cable, GBA FaceMask cover thing in silver - there's a word for these things but I've forgotten it. Are they called skins? >< Something like that. I feel like an old person!

A revolving disco light (bit crappy, hopefully I can find the charger, don't know if you'd want this really as might be expensive to send)

A few kitty-related things:
( This ) cute ornament thing (has a bit of paint on but you can hide it so you can't see)
and ( this ) soft cuddly kitteh. Yes that's my hand. xD

Lots of books, mainly kids' books: an English-Latin dictionary (NO Latin-English section), Charlotte's Web (fab book for kids), The City Cats - I loved this when I was a kid, but some parts of it scared me, Collins Gem SAS Survival Guide - never read, was given as a present for some reason?!?!?! It's a pretty cute, decent looking book.... if you ever need this kind of thing..., Far from the Madding Crowd and Pygmalion York Notes, a massive puzzle book for older kids, Doctor Who: Monsters and Villains: unread but has been on shelf so a few scratches on the cover. Nothing overly noticeable, just when the light shines on it! Has price £7.99 on the back and looks exactly as new apart from this.

A game (board game type thing but without a board I think!) called Visual Brain Storms, never used. It's a logic type game, for the intelligent sort of kid, says age 11+ on the back.

My old rock collection from when I was a kid. There's loads there; some bought and some found and expertly shinied up. :') I was very into minerals for some reason. I looked at them before and actually loads of them are very pretty, gemstone type things. There are some on their own and some bought collections which are not in good condition and have the writing of a seven year old me all over the paper. I actually really want someone to have this >< srsly if you know anyone who likes rocks!! Gone to yanduer!

Quite a lot of Doctor Who stickers (not album type ones, just normal stickery sticker stickers), a sheet of Harry Potter stickers with one missing, some Lord of the Rings stickers which are themselves in good condition but on a sheet with loads missing. Some glow in the dark Pokémon stickers which are v. v. cool..... if you like Pokémon. VGC!

I haven't finished yet. Have more cuddly toys and just other... junk soon. :P

Yup, a lot of stuff from my childhood that I don't know why I still have. Grammarz?! Maybe my childhood wasn't as long ago as I think it was. I know I haven't included many photos but all this is going for nothing but the cost of postage+packaging (be aware that this might be quite a bit for larger items), or if you wanna pick stuff up from me that's fine too! I really want rid of this and I want it to have a place; dun want it to go to landfill if a charity shop can't sell it, so anyone you know at all! Not all the things are in VGC but some are. Ask me any questions or for photos or whatever... blah. :) Don't be shy cos I actually want you to come and take this.

If you're not sick of stuff by now, my special lovely fluffy friend andimlovegalore is has a nice sales of nice stuff hearz.

Mousapelli: also, 97 people have clicked into the kisumai fic. you know how many comments i have? 5. this stupid fandom is for losers
Jackoweskla: it really is. i feel like i need to put a badly worded COMMENT PLZ on my fics to get comments
M: there must be some way to encourage commenting throughout this fandom. i don't understand why it is so crap
J: i don't either. everyone can't lurk, or else no one wants to contribute
M: nobody DOES contribute
J: and everyone comments on scan or dl posts... why is fanfic different
M: it's just like at school. i do all the shit and then everybody complains to me about it
J: give me an a
M: a?
J: like at school
M: lmao i thought you were going to spell something. GIVE ME A T
J: ahahahahhaha
M: WHATS THAT SPELL
J: NOT MUCH
M: ....apparently 'at'

Okay, but in all seriousness, I will again say, you know why JE has so few authors? because nobody comments so being a JE author sucks. Is it really so hard to say "I liked this" or "nice fic" or even just "I read this"? What would that take you, fifteen seconds? Ten?

Like, it isn't that I care that you want to lurk or whatever thing, but geezoo, 92/97 people couldn't even manage to say "nice job"? I mean, leave an anon comment if you're too scared omg to use your name (but really? why?) but goodness, don't marvel at why there are so few decent jr authors when it certainly isn't worth anybody's effort to be one.

so let's all go out there and comment on the things we read, okay? As a veteran of roughly 50 fandoms, I guarantee you making JE a more comment-filled fandom will get you more fic in the end.

Title: Nobody But You [Nikaido/Senga]
Rating/Warnings: R for rimming.
Summary: Nikaido interrupts Senga's interview for a few choice words.
AN: Take a wild guess who made demands for this one. Based on screencaps from the PLAYZONE 2009 DVD backstage footage, as capped here.

( Nobody But You [Nikaido/Senga, R] )

Must...do...things...

Things that aren't watching SHINee perform JoJo over and over. Lmao why is Key's hair green.

What I really need to do is actually make some christmas present decisions and maybe do laundry and kind of pack, and make lists. I think i need to go to the store too. But it's all dark and rainy! And SHINee is right here, so I don't even have to get off my couch!

Also I seem to be getting a sty, which is all school stress. GREATO. I'm going to leave out my contacts all day and hopefully that will help. It hurts when I blink. You know how many times a day you blink?

Maybe there is a good SyFy marathon on today or something...

Does anybody want a copy of Artemis Fowl: The Lost Colony? Because I bought it at the Scholastic Book Fair yesterday for ridiculous cheap, only to realize that I completely own it. Also picked up the 4th Percy Jackson book, and stared longingly at the 5th one, but it's still in hardcover and I hate it when my stuff doesn't match. Actually my copy of the first book doesn't match either, so I might replace that at some point lol.

SHINee singing JoJo on MusicCore is completely ridiculous. ADORABLE WOOL HATS. Taemin's curls are sticking out all over under his, and his pants are made of tinfoil. I love that stupid kid. And also Minho somehow got sexy as hell, which distresses me. (Rana, go watch! they are all talented and stuff).

Mystery Christmas presents 1-4 are now completed! And speaking of things like that, I wore my Kyou Kara Maou hat out yesterday, for those of you who have been here long enough to remember those, and my friend I went to the book sale with was like "...is that a bear hat." YES IT IS.

ETA: Holy crap, the whole New World/Truth single is AMAZING. I haven't liked a w-inds. single this much in forever. Otsukare, boys! Hopefully next album will be just like this.

ive been having weird dreams lately. a bunch of them in a single night actually! lol. from what i remember, there was 2PM, Daryl, results and the beach? lol.

the one with 2PM was initially oh-so-good. we were at some place and i was sitting in a high chair or something with my arms around my favourite Ok Taecyeon(!) who was standing in front of me. we were just talking. it was so niceee. i remember thinking that Val would be sooo envious to know i'd hung out with 2PM [including her fav Nichkhun!] haha. and then next thing i knew i was with someone idk who at the beach. the waves were crazy and so was this mountain of sand i was hiding behind. LOL. and then we found 2PM so we went to talk to them. everyone was extremely hostile. i remember being so so so upset while they were going on about how they hate how they are and they blame the fans for making them who they are. it was such a queer thing to dream about really. (N) i think it's my <3 for 2PM + the after-effects of watching the mutants in The Hills Have Eyes that resulted in this weird dream. either way, i really only enjoyed the first part. haha.

and then i dreamt that we'd received our A Level results on this piece of paper that wasn't like. result-slip-worthy if you get what i mean. i had Es and Ds. no As nor Bs nor Cs at all. so sp upset. then Daryl appeared out of nowhere and asked if i wanted to go over to his place with Matthias to play Rock Band or something godknowswhat. so random! and then my head was on his shoulder and i remember thinking [in my dream] how weird this was. in my dream, i was sure i was dreaming. HAHA.

but yeah. weird dreams come one after the other. its just so. idk. weird. lol.

Today a lot of weird stuff happened.

*Dermatologist bifurcated the wart a lot more (OW MOTHERFUCKING OW), but while she was doing it, she mentioned that some girl Korean group was on So You Think You Can Dance last night, and I was like "Wonder Girls?" cause that's the only girl group I know, and she said yes, that was it! So completely bizarre.

*w-inds. sang Doushite, which...seriously, so much love. sometimes in all the JE frenzy I forget how much I love w-inds., and then they show back up with THIS. Hentai-kun, never change.

*Kisumai had a pairings contest or something, and Tama/Miyata came in 5th, whereupon Miyata's comment was "something I did with Tama lately? I can't say it here~!" Also Nikaido/Senga came in 7th and Nika was all indignant they didn't make the top three. I need so much fic about all of this.

*I only slept a couple hours last night because I couldn't stop thinking about stuff, so fail. At least tomorrow's Friday D:

Things are poor at the job, to be blunt, and I wish I could even dredge up some shock at this point, but mostly I'm just thinking about whether hunting for a new job will suck more than having this one. At one point, I was actually standing there thinking that I wished I'd stayed in Vermont.

Which, for those of you who remember me in VT...yeah. Not a good sign.

I cleaned out the guinea pig and the rat though, which was vaguely pointless because I'll just have to do it again right before Beth shows up next week, but whatever. Also the rat has a lump and I think it's the bad kind cause it's been there a while. And I'm a terrible person, because the rat is 2 years old now, which is all that rats live, and really i'm just thinking to myself how much more convenient it'd be if I only had to drag the guinea pig over to my parents. Sorry, Massu D:

Ugh just whatever.
