I only made it back as far as the 29th

[aide]

I can't go through flist anymore. Sorry guys. It's been 45 minutes, filtered to real people only, and I'm only back as far as Sunday. I am really looking forward to watching (and buying!) the AAA DVD. What I've seen so far makes me feel tingly. Which is what Arashi was made to do. Maybe it's just waxrose's selective screen caps but I can see so much love going on. I'm anticipating it highly! Luckily I didn't spend so much in Korea so I won't feel guilty about buying the DVD when I get off my ass. I said I would buy one DVD before leaving Japan because it would be insane not to and this looks like the winner. ♥

I may have screwed myself in a not-so-good way.  I planned to nap for a couple of hours because I couldn't think coherently at all and ended up sleeping until midnight.  10 hours!  That just goes to show how deprived I've been.  Short recap:

Thursday: We landed at 10pm and got to our hostel at about 11:30pm.  We dumped our stuff in our room and then went to get some eats and went to the jimjilbang (sento) for a soak.  Went to bed around 3am.

Friday: Met Semi for lunch at 12 and went to Changdeokgung Palace and walked around the Northern Village in Seoul.  Went to Hongdae for some drinking and dancing and made out with some Korean boy. ♥  Got to bed around 3:30am.

Saturday: Took a tour of the Demilitarized Zone between North and South Korea.  Had to get up at 8am. ;_;  Really awesome.  I learned so much about North Korea and the tension and stuff that still exists.  Went to Itaewon and Homo Hill for some gay clubbing at night.  Justin made out with a Korean boy and Andrew gave his contact to one of the bartenders.  Got home around 3.

Sunday: Took it easy, got up around noon and went shopping in Yongsan (electronics market; totally reminded me of Sim Lim Square), Myeongdong (like Harajuku/Shibuya) and Dongdaemun (night market).  Shopped until 2:30am.  Finished the night with a trip to another jimjilbang.  Got home around 4.

Monday: Andrew went on a brunch date with the bartender while the rest of us met with Semi and went souvenir shopping in Insadong.  We slept in til noon by accident (we were supposed to meet at 12:30) but no worries.  Met up with Andrew in the afternoon and went to Chonggye River and Sinchon for dinner.  Finish the night at a norebang (karaoke) and then got back around midnight to pack and get ready.  Got into bed around 2 but I couldn't sleep.  Maybe got 1 hour before waking up at 4:45 to get ready to leave for the airport.

Tuesday: Up and out at 5:15am to take the train to the airport.  No problems.  Arrived in Haneda at 10:30am, got home at 1:30pm. 

I've got to download the episodes of Himitsu and Shukudai-kun that I missed.  I'll just wait for Door to Door to get subbed before downloading.  Was there any excellent fic posted while I was away? 

I think I'll 我慢 until 3am before getting back into bed though I don't think I will be able to sleep again so easily.  I kind of feel like I could right now but how much sleep can your body actually take at once?  My suitcase is looming in the corner.  I should at least take the kimchi and sweets out and put them into the fridge.

YES THERE WAS EXCELLENT FIC. Rose finished the Death Ray one. XDD

nothing much to update about for comms... nothing that you already know, anyway.

i am writing another epic (shies) right now. am so tempted to ditch the bridal boutique one, even though i planned it for the challenge. i've started on this housemates-in-sapporo one (i think i'm bent on making them live together for life or something, so far my fics have them living together all the time, it's mad) but nothing concrete, really. don't bother to backpost my journal they're basically about fic and arashi HAHA.

YOU MADE OUT WITH KOREAN BOYYYYYY

YEAH I DID. It was ... too much tongue. But at least I am attractive to someone. Was good for the ego boost. It was the mission of the night. Why are you still awake miss?!

wedding stuff DD: i'm doing my wedding blog and trying to get the instructions to the place up. HA. but i feel accomplished because i did lots of things tonight. YAY. i just need to get things really tied down and i can just sit back and relax for a moment. hohoho.

too much tongue eh. tsk tsk. don't those korean boys know how to kiss. XD

I don't think know it's not limited Korean boys. It's an Asian thing. Too excited? Overzealous? I don't know. That's why I need to get one into a relationship with me so I can train him right.

Wedding things ehhhh. Best of luck? I'm going to try and go back to sleep. Maybe I won't be able to so I'll watch the first episode of the Korean Hanadan. There were advertising for it everywhere in Seoul so now I'm interested. Or I will upload pictures. I only took 180. :( But most of the ones with me in them are on Justin or Takeshi's camera.

I want the dvd but damn region restrictions.

Congrats on making out with the Korean boy. Was any contact information traded?
