Short newsflash about nothing.

Feeling busy. I finally managed to format Drive D and now I have 50 GB of backup space. Kinda start to miss the Sims, but I don't have time for that at all. I don't even have time for Drakensang, so I only get to play it every other day for some half an hour. I keep thinking of whether maybe just amybe I should try tumblr, but I'm afraid it might be the end of my faint hope of even making any progress at all.

A fresh picture! Somehow Shou became a big brother) Thankfully his hair's back to normal now. Takeru freaks me out though.

@темы: Shou, match

That awkward moment when you finally think it's safe and lean back to watch that shounen-ai anime in your room and your sister barges in.

Today I woke up at lunch with sun streaming through the window and such an inexplicable feeling of joy. I'm healing...

Now I really wonder what happened to my system drive. Trying to copy data from it I found a lot of files got eaten randomly. It's really annoying and is taking forever. At least with pictures you see they're broken right away. Thankfully it seems nothing really important got damaged. There are files from Sims folder, but the saves seem to be fine. I'm smart enough to not keep my stuff at system drive, but some programs, games especially won't have it any other way.

Apart form the standard AUs I have several of my own. I don't see any point in writing it down, since I'll never be able to finish them. But yeah, those were mostly born during my TVXQ stage, but now I can use them for my current pairing too. Not that I'm actually using them - it just happens. The biggest would be The Club AU. Also there's the AU which resulted from me playing games - a warrior/mage AU.

"Baby you've been unconscious for fourteen years"

Shit, that has to be the worst plot twist ever! What the fuck? LE*I$hTF5@B#EgHJ? But over the years I learned to laugh at these things more than anything.

On Valentine’s Day.

—…please tell us some memories of Valentine’s Day. Hiroto, I bet you got a lot of stuff…

Hiroto: Eh?! You’re starting with me? (laugh) Valentine’s Day, huh. The basis for that is receiving gifts right? The photo shoot for this involved us holding presents (to give), so I kinda got confused.

Editor: It gives it an overseas flair, it’s good!
(Note: in Japan, Valentine’s Day is when girls give gifts to the boys they like. White Day, in March, is when boys return the favor.)

MORE

Hiroto: Well, I didn’t really get that much. I think the first time I got something was in kindergarten. One that stands out, though, was when I was around the time I was in the third grade. There was this girl who was about to transfer schools, she gave me something. On Valentine’s Day I was at home putting together a Gundam model. The girl came to my house with a friend, and said ‘I’m transferring, so this is farewell’ and gave me chocolate. Kinda like…a final gift (like at a funeral)…a souvenir from the underworld! (laugh)

Nao: They didn’t die!

Hiroto: That was handmade chocolate, and it was crazy good, every day I chose one piece carefully and savored it. But, she moved shortly after. And of course at that time, even if I could show her my gratitude I couldn’t do anything about it, so it kind of became a painful memory.
It’s not like I could hop on my bike and go all the way to Shizuoka, third graders don’t have that kind of power.

Tora: I was fat all throughout elementary school, so I never ever got any chocolate. Girls would say to me ‘you’re fat, so you shouldn’t eat chocolate,’ I’d get so freakin’ angry, I thought, ‘man, this Valentine’s Day is total bullshit.’ ‘cause, I’d go through that every Valentine’s day, every year for six years! It was so mortifying, when I got into middle school I vowed to start dieting.

Nao: So then, did you get on track…?

Tora: Then, I failed. (laugh)

Nao: you know, I’m sad that ‘I’ll bet you got a lot’ wasn’t said to me. Even though I went to an all-boys high school, someone (a guy) gave me a hand-knit muffler. At the time I thought they just gave it to me because they weren’t using it, I had no idea it was handmade. I gave it some thought and I thought it was really odd, and I got a little disturbed, but it was a valuable life-lesson.
The liveliest time for Valentine’s Day is definitely elementary school, y’know, when boys and girls start to become aware of each other. When you’re an elementary school student, Hiroto-kun!

Hiroto: What? Why me? (laugh)

Nao: Even though (they’re) a little shy when they give you something, it’s so cute…! So, please, everyone, when you give me something, be a little bashful (laugh)

Saga: As for me, I hated going to school on Valentine’s Day. Because in elementary school, (the amount of) valentines determine a man’s worth!

Nao: It’s not like it’s getting published or anything!

Saga: But the guys who don’t get anything understand! I hated it so much I started staying home from school. Girls would come to my house, though….and give me letters and ramen noodles. No idea why.

Shou: A woman’s heart is hard to understand.

Saga: I never got it, did they like me or not? If they like you, even if it’s not chocolate they’d give some sort of sweets, right? Wtf, ramen…. But the next day, being a ‘guy who got something,’ of course I’d behave in a prideful manner, I’d project an ’ I won!’ sort of aura. (laugh)

Shou: I apparently was the least popular…I’m not proud of this, but in middle school AND high school, I didn’t get a THING….

Nao: Look! He’s getting sad…!

Shou: Just thinking about it makes me cry.

Hiroto: Don’t get down!

Shou: In elementary school, I got ONE valentine. Of course lately I’ve gotten things from fans, and that makes me very happy, but those really were some painful days….

—So, are you guys saying out of all of you, Hiroto was the only one who didn’t have a miserable time on Valentine’s Day?

Hiroto: Hey, I had some miserable times too! A girl would call me out, thinking I’d get something I’d go (see her), but I’d get there and she’d be all ‘Can you give this to so-and-so?’

Nao: That happened to me, too!

Saga: Eh, that wasn’t a big deal. I’d never do anything about it (wouldn’t pass it along to the intended recipient).

Shou: It’s like I didn’t even exist…!

—Well, since it looks like instead of Valentine’s Day memories we’ve conjured up some miserable ones… We’ll see you next month. (laugh)

That's pretty sad, isn't it? Shou and Tora especially. Even though these are the things you are supposed to laugh at when you grow up it's not really like that. These kinds of wounds hardly heal no matter what happens later.

My calligraphy skills are progressing at tremendous speed. My horizontal lines finally stopped looking like dicks and started looking like lines. The teacher seems to be pleased with me so she told me to work out the rest of the strokes myself. Haha. Maybe I'll progress to simply kanji by the end of the year after all.
Now that I matured to this level of starting to become interested in traditional Arts I wouldn't mind trying out the ikebana as well.
I actually made this without much thought today on my way back.

Lately I feel so inadequate. I have tons of stuff I want to do, but I just feel so drained. Even today I finally had the chance to watch the concert like I wanted to but I'm so damn sleepy. I really try to catch up with studies, but even though it's just twice a week it's getting really hard to keep up. Even though I already gave up on some things stuff just keeps piling up. How am I going to manage further? I know being the person that I am my life will always be a compromise. I wish I could stop time more than anything so I could sort everything out and finish at least a half of my projects. But life won't wait. I feel further I will be forced to make more choices and give up even more things. But hey, that's not that bad of a thing to get depressed over. I'll work it out somehow.

This time round when I installed Winamp and it prompted me to create a media library I said "Yes!" I wanted to do it for a long time, but somehow every time I brushed it off. Plus I knew I'll need to fix it which I did. So now I have a song library with all of my music.

After some cleaning I came up with about 800 artists and 7800 songs, amounting to 41.8 GB. That's enough music to play non-stop for 23 days.

Of course there are tons of compilations and random songs from soundtracks and stuff, but still it's quite impressive. Now I have a super-playlist. I play it on random of course and it's kind of stimulating when you have absolutely no idea what comes next. So far Winamp picked cool songs or is it just that my taste is good?

Ahahaha. I think that this next question is good and will follow on from the conversation we just had, so if you were a girl, which member would you date?
Shou: Me. (Immediate reply)
That was fast (laughs).
Shou: It's because they're like family to me, and because I've seen lots of things about them, it would absolutely not work out, with those people (laughs).

When you look at it he says it like that's the reason he wouldn't date his members. As if the fact that they're guys doesn't really matter.

Down the memory lane...

I ripped all the DVD's... Damn, I can't believe it all happened about 8 years ago. It's funny how the things that seemed cool and meaningful now appear stupid and useless. I mean back in high school I thought Placebo's lyrics were so exciting and different from mainstream and now most of them seems so fucking pointless. To a straight person anyway. Now I much prefer simple lyrics that actually have a message to all this drug-induced bullshit.

But of course even more memories come up with MSP videos. Hell, there was so much to it. Now I can look back and see it for what it was. So bitter-sweet. Even though it's been so long and I'm at a completely different place now when I look at this video my heart responds to every second of it.

They've been around for 22 years, just 2 years longer than Laruku, but such a different story.

Now that I look at all of it I realize that rock musicians are so not good role-models for the kids. Especially the British ones. But I don't blame myself. It's a big part of my history. It's just like Tora said, all these things even if they were painful brought me to where I am now. And I like this current myself a lot.

Suddenly last night I craved for 90's music. No Doubt and Garbage and lots of stuff. Brings so many memories. So I ended up downloading almost 4 GB worth of 90's music videos. Tsk tsk. It's not even the 2nd day of the month yet. And now I began ripping my DVDs for a complete collection. I was going to anyway. There are 3 of them. I'm lazy to do it but the idea of the perfect collection drives me on.

A9 Channel

Watching A9 Channel 2010.02. At first I only watched the ones with Shou, than all subbed ones and then I began watching all episodes I could get my hands on. Even the old bad quality unsubbed ones. Or actually maybe those are more interesting in a way because few people watched them and there are always interesting facts that come up so it's quite a challenge. So anyway I think that's the last one I was missing. What was cast away before now is pure gold.

I'll note the most interesting parts.

1st topic: "The words with which you were dumped."
Hiroto's: "You voice on the phone sounds weird." I think it's was in school.
Nao's: "You look like an axolotl." Lol I didn't even know what's an axolotl.
Tora's: "No way unless you lose weight" He couldn't think of anything so it was clearly something that came to mind quickly. What's interesting is that the other two were clearly surprised. Obviously they don't read each other's interviews. It always feels strange when I know more about the members than they know about each other.

2nd topic: girls' gestures that you like.
Nao: Meeting gazes I think?
Tora: rearranging their legs.
Hiroto: stretching, the kind with lifting their arms up over thier head.

There were also discussions of the letters, but nothing major. Overall this show was really nice in the sense that you could see the boys definitely enjoyed it a lot. Also Tora singing and dancing along to Kowloon PV was ♥

At first I thought the new A9 Channel with games and pranks is way more interesting, but now I kind of miss all the discussions.
Other notes: Tora in glasses is hot. Trufax. Hiroto should grow that hair back, he looks amazing here, really. Nao is cute as weird as he is.

The previous system was set up on May 28 and the one before that on October 29! The PC seems to have critical dates too.Today's set up was nice and safe. I'm learning and do better each time except I always seem to forget which drivers I need and get really mad. But it's all good now.
