And then I realized, I'm just slutty.

The JE Fanfiction Feedback & Concrit Meme
Tell me what YOU think of my writing here!

I wasn't so happy with the last meme like this I did, but this one looks to be really mature and well-organized.

Though, I don't think it's "kinks" so much as common tropes and themes in fanfic, what I digress. Bummed off happenstanc3.


1. Visit the master list, select your favorite 100
2. Post your favorite 100 behind a cut in your LJ (or if you can’t pick 100, as many as you can without going over)
3. Your f-list's job is to write you "comment pr0n" for your favorites. And yes, bold for extra favorites.

( The List )


I am alive on 4 hours of sleep. It's going to be an interesting day.

Because I need to do something to keep me awake until I get my second wind. Memes! I've seen those anon memes floating around before but never did one because I have this complex that I think no one really knows me/likes me on the internets. Which was recently proven to be totally not true, but I still think that way sometimes. What the hell! Let's just do it.

ANON MEME

And the photo meme: ask me to take a picture of any aspect of my life that you're interested in - it can be anything from the house I live in to my favorite shoes. Leave your choice here as a comment, and I will reciprocate by taking the pictures and posting them as an LJ entry. That way you get to know a little bit about my life, if you're remotely interested in it.

Anything goes. I'm not shy.

I had to use my Chinese again at work today. At lunch, Tamaya-sensei (♥!) asked me if I could speak Chinese--fuck, hasn't that gotten around yet?--because he wanted me to ask the new kid some questions. Apparently, he's moving to Shin-Matsudo and the school is kind of like, "Urr why? That's kind of problematic." I don't think there are any rules about catchment areas or whatever but it would mean he'd have to take 2 trains or a train and a bus to get to school and that's just a pain. It would only be for 1 year though and he already started at Toyoshiki and has made a couple friends? Or at least has people friendly to him. Mineo has been somewhat assigned to be his buddy for the meantime because he can at least understand some Chinese. I even heard Kimura from 2nd year say "你好" to Yao in the hallway. XD His written English is pretty good too! I am looking foward to seeing him in class soon. I kind of freaked out and did a crash course by looking up key words like "when", "where", "why", "leave", "arrive", "station" at lunch. Though when I had to ask him when he was going to move I kept saying いま instead of 現在 and couldn't remember 几月几日 to ask about the date. -___-

I don't like having only 3 days at jr high. I've got about 4 classes a day, consistantly, but I don't even have enough time to get to see each class once a week. Today we only had 2 periods because the New Philharmony Orchestra Chiba came to play for us. It was awesome! I never really appreciated orchestra music before but it's so fun to watch. Watching the string intrument players get all synchronized is amazing. It's like a dance. They did some explaining about the different sections of the orchestra and played a bunch of different pieces from Indy Jones to Swan Lake. The even did a Pirates of the Caribbean medly!

I'm gonna go water some turnips and think about what to eat for dinner. I think I'll make hayashi chuuka men. :D

I sent Lydia a letter to thank her for her present and she asked me if I was left handed. That's the first time anyone has ever asked me about my handedness based on my writing so I decided to post some samples. :)  Click for full-size.  They should be bigger but I guess Photobucket resizes things when you upload?  God, I love my new camera.

First a meme combo:


1. Write your LJ username
2. Write your two favorite bands/artists at the moment
3. Write I ♥ k-pop/c-pop/j-pop
4. Write the name of your favourite person of all time (e.g. MJ)
5. Write down your recent favourite person (e.g. Obama)

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1. Write your name
2. Left or right-handed?
3. Favourite letters to write?
4. Least favourite letters to write?
5. Write the sentence: "The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog."

And now for some writing samples from my fic notebook.

First, the birth of Equilibrium -- my initial outline.  It's such a mess.
 

For Baby part 2:
 

And for something truly awful, the set list from the first Dream Alive concert in Nagoya, written on the bus on the way home.

( This is kind of a whole new meme now. )


I'm still slightly feverish but not wanting to die like yesterday.  I've got a cough now from all the chainsmokers last night but I guess that can't be helped?  Once Nikki leaves, I probably won't see any of those people anymore, or at least not as often which wasn't very regular anyway.  I don't know why she was all upset about people not coming.  I thought it was going to be a small gathering so that it would actually make a difference.  There was more people there than at any of the other parties they've had.  Sachiyo always orchestrates these things and puts together a photo album for people to write in as a leaving present.  The sad thing is, I don't think she would do that for me. :(

It's raining today so I can't do the rest of my laundry.  I could hang it up inside but it's going to take forever to dry without some sunshine and I don't want to cart it over to the laundromat to use the dryers.  I'm lazy, and I'm cheap.

I'm meeting Andrew at 3 for our furoshiki class and then we're going to dress up for classy Christmas dinner with Ariel.  I'm hoping my black dress still fits!  I haven't worn it since Canada.  I've lost a little weight since coming to Japan, I think.  Fingers and toes are crossed.

* List 1-10 pairings/prompts that you have been dying to read. Maybe it's a really rare pairing or something you've requested on any of the past smut memes which haven't been fulfilled.
* When you see this posted on your friends' journals, you may do one of the following:
-- Write it.
-- Link to one that's already been written, whether by you or someone else.
-- Nothing, but karma will get you. >_> That's stupid.
* There are no length or rating limits, and prompts may be duplicated (PLEASE). Be specific in your prompts particularly in reference to preferred smut content, seme/uke order, and any other requirements that may hinder your appreciation of the fic.
* There is no deadline for this, but once your ten prompts have been written to your satisfaction you are welcome to make a new post starting over. You may write your own prompts if you want. If your tastes change, you can certainly switch out one prompt for another at any time.

( Things I Like In My Fics )

Notes on Ryuusei no Kizuna: The first episode was good! The chemstry between the three siblings is great. I wish I could have caught more of the dialogue but the exchanges were too quick. It's not as serious as "suspense drama" makes it sound like it should be. I don't like the theme song; it doesn't fit.

(1) Leave me a comment if you want some questions!
(2) I respond by asking you five personal questions so I can get to know you better (if you want them to be hypothetical fandom related questions then let me know since those are fun to answer).
(3) You will update your LJ with the answers to the questions.
(4) You will include this explanation and offer to ask someone else in the post.
(5) When others comment asking to be asked, you will ask them five questions

Questions from everystarrfall:
1) What is your favorite part about living in Japan, and why?
You really know how to ask questions, don't you?  If I had to pick just one thing... ugh, I don't even know what it would be.  The food?  The trains?  The fucking freakish fashion?  There is always just so much good food to eat; trains are (usually) always on time; people are just so entertaining.

2) What is your earliest childhood memory?
I remember... my house and neighbourhood in Calgary, walking to school and playing in the dry pond in the winter.  There was also this heinous storm one year that blew over our fence.

3) You've just won an award for a fantastic invention of yours. What did you invent?
The cure for the common cold.

4) You've been diagnosed with a terminal illness, and are told you have mere weeks to live. With your remaining time, one of the things you decide to do is go on a trip. Where do you go, and what are three things you do there?
I'd go back to Canada.  I probably won't be living in Canada for a lot of my years so I'd go back and A) get my best friend(s) together and take a road trip from coast to coast, stopping at all the historical places along the highway and just having a good time.  B) I'd go and visit each province and territory and eat all the famous food from each region.  C) I'd go and check out all the Canadian wildlife and see bears and meese in the wild.

5) What do you consider to be the overall most heinous look an Arashi member has ever had? (This can be anytime, and includes clothes, hair, shoes, just their overall look. Can be from anything EXCEPT for concerts because JE costumes would have to have a category of their own to rank the ugliness of some of those things. XP)
The worst of the worst?  I think... my least favourite has to be Nino's from the end of 2007/beginning of 2008 when they kept putting him in those trench sweaters with that mane.  I really wanted them to do a Ni no Arashi where they shave his head at night just to get rid of that.  When Aiba's puppy hair grew out in December, that was also pretty bad too...
