Oct. 17th, 2010 12:28 pmYesterday was crazy ridiculous guys 
;
So I planned to meet up with![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
hidekodahlia, mynamelessname, and katzichan for yummy Chinese food yesterday for lunch.. and I ended up bringing my 2 Japanese partners today. I guess maybe by now I could just call them my friends. ^^
Anyway, we ate and had a good time, and then we were gonna stop by and do some Karaoke at a really nearby karaoke box place... but they ended up not being open until 7pm (WTF? Their hours were definitely different before
).. anyway.. on a whim we decided to go over to the one near my house, which was about 1/2 an hour away.. lol so off we went.. we did Karaoke and had a really good time singing lots of different songs. I sang L'Arc's 'HONEY' with Akiko and KAT-TUN's 'REAL FACE' and Shuuji and Akira's 'Seishun Amigo' with Haruna... and then lots of other miscellaneous songs with the girls (and of course Arashi).
After that, I had told Haruna I would take her to the mall to return some goodies she bought and so we stopped over there quickly.. the only problem is that it was RIDICULOUSLY packed, and so I had to cut it short because I had plans in the evening and so we (attempted) to drive back. Although it took like 1 hour instead of 30 minutes to get back.
People here somehow feel that it's a good idea to close off every major highway except for one, forcing EVERYONE to go to the same damn highway which made it ABSOLUTELY PACKED WTF and then our left turn light seriously didn't turn green for 10 minutes; so we ended up going really far south when we needed to go north, and then east to get to somewhere that would take us north and... just yea it was crazy.
When I dropped off Akiko and Haruna, Akiko suddenly pulls out this very Japanese book store looking bag and says to me, "お母さんからです！" (This is from my mom!)
... Akiko's mother apparently sent her the November issue of Myojo to give to me oh my. People really like giving me magazines it seems lmao
It was a crazy crazy drive, but in the end we made it back! Thank youmynamelessname for driving all the way out to hang with us~! Then I got to my SECOND plans for the day, working on making our uchiwas (that we may or may not even USE lmao) with mystical_mayhem! We stopped by the DOLLAR store and picked out some supplies and worked on those until pretty late in the evening.
We only got 1 side of them done, but we'll hopefully be able to get together and work on them some more.
We had to basically make the entire thing from scratch so we used cardboard for the fan part.. and we need to figure out what to use for the handle.. Any ideas??
I want to also mention something about my VLOGS. I hope everyone reads this...
I get some comments from people on my f-list who say stuff like, "I'm a bad friend I haven't been watching your vlogs lately" or "I'm sorry I can't watch your vlogs lately :(" etc...
Just because I post the vlogs up on my journal does not mean that I feel you are obligated to watch them. I don't want you guys to feel bad for not watching them.. it's really not that big of a deal to me ^^; the only reason I post them up on my journal is that I know there are some people who watch the vlogs primarily from LJ, and so I figured that I would continue to post them here.
So please... PLEASE don't feel bad if you don't watch/haven't been watching/don't have time to watch them.
With that said, here is a v. late vlog:

Please enjoy~
Please don't take this out of my journal without my permission.
On Friday (tomorrow.. or.. today..?) I'm going to meet up with 
girls for another drama night. I AM EXCIIIITE.
On Saturday I'm meeting up with my Japanese language partners and taking them to the capital building here and I need to figure out what I'm gonna do later with them but they have like the whole day off to hang out with me (which makes me feel really happy that they actually wanna hang out with me!) I'm thinking of bringing them to dinner to a Japanese restaurant because Lotion wanted to go out and eat there. They supposedly have okonomiyaki and a bunch of other stuff. But yeah!! I'm really excited for that!
THEN! Lotion and I may or may not be going to the circus on Sunday... 
I've been working on that Seventeen translation. I got Aiba's done, but not Nino's yet.. unless people desperately want the translation now I'll post Aiba's and then Nino's and Ohno's later, but.. I think I'm gonna wait until I finish Nino's 
I pre-ordered Hatenai Sora... I seem to have this urge to get every single CD that Arashi comes out with lol... although honestly? So far this fandom is not as expensive as being obsessed with video games. I feel like I'm spending 1/2 as much on actual fandom stuff, and then using the other money for stuff that I never bought before.. (like.. clothes LOL)
I listened to Time Capsule. It was a shitty radio rip.. which I'm really sad for because I didn't think it was bad.. I usually only listen to radio rips if they are HQ >_<;;; but I wanted to say that.. the song is completely different than what I had imagined and... I kind of like it a lot so far :x here's hoping the whole thing is great!!
Yep I'm posting this again. lol
I finally got a Friday off from work yesterday and it was wonderful to not have to do anything. I spent the day just lazing around, and I watched last week's episode of Himitsu no Arashi-chan... with the adorable little puppies!! SO EFFING CUTE ;____;
(I know this is a soccer ball but pretend it's a bowling ball) I went bowling with a few friends on Thursday because a friend of mine is in a bowling league and he had like 75 free games that he needed to use up by the end of September lol... we used up 3 games each. I did okay, but 
;
Totally forgot to post this a while ago.. 
well... there are also lots of Japanese students there who were walking around the cafe while we talked... and every time a group of them would walk by Haruna, one of the girls, would point out to me, "There are more Japanese students" lol anyway, about 1/2 way through our meeting, 2 girls that she had introduced to me earlier walked past us... Haruna waved at them, and then they ran up to her and started talking to her in Japanese... this is what went down (translated into English lol):
;;
(i.e. as soon as possible)
(and I ate way too much)
And here where are with clothes! I got 5 shirts for $30... Which... I think is a really good deal 
Up next! I decided to randomly do some more J-web translations... these ones are the Nino UraArashi, and Jun's birthday J-web message. I'll get right to it, so here you go!

With that out of the way, here's a vlog!
QUESTION TO YOU ALL: I was sitting around thinking about this recently... when Anime finally started getting more and more popular, and Anime conventions were starting to get more popular, they invited people who were prominent in the industry or contributed things that were a big influence on the industry itself to be guests and talk about things etc.
;; I think that Becky from ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif){kind=small}
Okay that's it for the long ass entry. I think I will give internet cookies to anyone who actually read the entire thing 
Frustrating. Any of you getting it to work? (Or maybe I'm the only one who has tried)
I don't use foundation or make up or anything in the area that is having issues.. if I wear any make up it's just a little eye make up.
Secondly I realize that I haven't really been posting my Japanese journals here as much as I used to and I'd like to remedy that 
And this week's vlog! 
*THIS IS SO COOL~*
; I want to update more, but it's difficult when I have soooo much that I want/need to do..
Please DO NOT take this out of my journal without my permission
First of all I want to thank all of you for your kind words and comments on my last entry. Some of you who are reading this can't read it if you're not on my f-list, I'm sorry.. it was quite personal though and so I felt the need to lock it. I feel much better and you guys are so sweet and each and every one of your comments made me feel really happy to have such great people around me in fandom-life.. and real life.
Our plane tickets to Japan have been bought, so this trip is pretty much official. They are non-refundable so.. we're going. Lotion and I decided to go JAL last night because it was either American Airlines or JAL... they were the same price but the plane is nicer on JAL, so we went with that. As I said on my twitter, I don't know if it's fate or a sign from the Arashi gods, but literally this morning I wake up to news of JAL using Movin' On as their BGM for their CMs. That's kind of insane, and now I am praying that this transfers over to our ticket ballots. 
PLEEAAASSSEEE
It's Lotion and my 6 year anniversary tomorrow. Oh my 
Lastly, I have a vlog for you guys 
I feel like I'm forgetting something so don't be surprised if you see an EDIT: in this entry.
Yeah, sorry that's all I've got for today
1) I've got art
2) I've got translations! Of Jun's little twitter-like thing. I saw the original Japanese and thought I'd have a go.. so enjoy if you'd like!
3) This week's vlog, yo!
;; but in my defense, I was going to buy something dark grey, and I really wanted it, but as soon as I checked out, they were out of stock 
sadface.
;; ARGHx2000
it.
;;;
;;
;; life has thrown a million things lately, and I really do want to write an entry with some actual substance to it, but... yeah. Things have kind of exploded... and I don't even have time to do one now 
I'm mostly posting so I can put up this week's vlog.
I look like kind of a creeper in this pic... oh well
