No signboard. ;o; But I did get the pretty photo album and it's... not as big as I thought it was. XD It's actually smaller than my palm!

In any case, as a belated thank you to many of you loves for support and fangirl flailings and... well, just being my friend:

go here for the FC Pamphlet #46 translation of Arashi's thoughts on Kokuritsu, Fukuoka Dome, and their gratitude for fans in general. Bonus: Jun complaining that he had to wash swimming trunks after the concert. >D (edit: Stay tuned for member interviews as well! Aiba's interview on his "My Girl" progress report is up.)

Enjoy! ♥

PS: WHO'S GOING TO THE SAPPORO CON? :D Meet-up for merchandise shopping/karaoke??

I am wishing so hard for an Arashi signboard, but I don't think I'm getting it sob. Lesson #37 about the JE Fanclub: after signing up, bribe Lady Luck. It's the only way to score the good stuff.

Aaand my school has been hit with tons of H1N1 cases. First the second years had to stay home for a while, and now two first-year classes are in quarantine. Poor kids. They'll be spending their time studying for an upcoming exam during their quarantine period, too. :/

Anyway, fulfilled drabble requests!

- Yama pair, being papa for one day (part one / part two) from itsmysunshine (prompt changed to "one month" *sheepish*)

- Sakumoto, ten years after Jun's fangirl crush on Sho from katmillia

- Ohmiya in a Tokyo Dogs setting (part one / part two ) from loissama

- OT3 shower scene (aka fail porn)from blood_opal

- Kaito/Aoko, Heiji/Kazuma; shenanigans with childhood friends from ningen_demonai

- Ohno/Jun and how it works (part one / omake) from alexiela

- My Girl/Yamada Taro crossover (part one / part two) from xanderave and jessicasoon and anon |D

I still have a few more to fulfill, but if anyone wants anymore weird drabbles from me, drop a comment! o/

Y-Yes, I'm still in a fic-writing mood. Currently have bunnies of Taiyo-sensei and maybe Kenta, or even Naruse from Maou, testing their worth on that machine in Guests of Room #0. (Someone please stop me from doing crossovers. orz)

DO YOU SEE WHAT I SEE?

Okay, so there is a crazy lady in my womb dragging her claws down and ripping things apart, but I think I'm holding up well at work! Except, well, I only have one class today - thankfully - and I've already made lesson plans for the next chapter for the first and second years, I've graded all the kids' assignments, and I'm... too lazy to look up stuff for my winter trips. *sheepish*

I kind of wish I could use the time to work on my translation projects (l-lol priorities what) but I can't, therefore, um... well.

Give me a pairing and a prompt!

And you get a retarded drabble like a Hanadan/Maou/Yamada Tarou crossover I wrote for kiyoshiro, whom I blame entirely for the bunny. >:

Or, you lovelies could also tell me what you're up to right now. ♥

+ Happy birthday alfard_alshuja, angelamori!! ♥ Want anything from the land of love and crack?

- bluestraggler's left for Kyoto. I never know whether I love or hate it when friends visit. Love it because it's so awesome and fun and we can cook together and wash together and watch stuff together and chat the evenings away... hate it because eventually, we'll have to part. I already felt a little sad when she packed up the futon; the guest room looked so empty. Then, right after I dropped her off at the train station, I broke down just looking at the empty passenger's seat asl;kdf. It's weird, 'cause it takes someone to come in and leave, before I realize that I may just be feeling kinda... lonely. ^^;; Also, am I the only one, or does the waterworks flow a lot more easily as you loves grow older, too? .////.

+ ( Tokyo Dogs!!! Cut for spoilers! )

- I am so behind on a translation project, it's not funny. Doesn't help that all these great new shows are coming up and I'm dying to work on them. Utaban SP today, for instance. I gotta sink my teeth into that one. And I'm sort of interested in working on Nino and Sho in Nepleague too... but I feel like someone is probably already working on it. Does anyone know if a subbing team has already put a claim on Nepleague or anything? It's long and will take time to work on, so I'll just let it go if it's taken.

Also, Nino's little hamburger fingers raping every single person on his team in the last few minutes? I APPROVE. *___*

+ The students continue to be awesome. I now have a second year student doing a diary exchange of sorts with me, and a first year student teaching me how to play shogi afterschool. In English, I might add. Very impressed with him.

( Meet the old cast with the new )

PS: oh god oh god the cute, tanned teacher I mentioned before just picked up my scarf from the floor and said in a very masculine way, "これ、落ちてたぜ　Your scarf dropped." And before striding off, he smiled.

This country and their men sal;kjdf.

PPS: Flipped on the TV just in time for a rerun of Uta no Oniisan episode two. Nothing helps more than Ohno's tanned, pouting face.

PPPS: What what what another Johnny's group debuted this year and it's another big group with an older boy and lots of young little jailbaits? Nakayama Yuma w/ B.I Shadow or something? What??

I swear I will post something more concrete, but I just woke up from a sleepless night - all night karaoke with bluestraggler OH YEAH /o/ - and I just found out about this and...

A LIVE ACTION GANTZ MOVIE?

STARRING MATSUYAMA KENICHI AND NINO?

THAT IS AWESOME BEYOND WORDS and why am I so slow as;lkjf.

Also, bluestraggler and I went to the Aoyama Gosho museum (Detective Conan!!) and ended up renting a Lupin III vs Detective Conan movie. Tonight! Conan night!

She has also treated me to Onmyouji I and II, which may I say, is gay and fabulous.

(... I am going to feel so alone when she leaves. ;;)

☆ Back from Hiroshima with bluestraggler! The last lag of the trip was super eventful. ^^;; More later!

☆ I'm not particularly fond of Jun's current hairstyle. Anyone else agree with me? >:

☆ Two things Ohno said with great confidence today:

"It might start pooping, it might start pooping!"

"Won't the hair get all wet when it pees?"

Nino: "Why is your voice only loud when you talk about poop?"

☆ To Aiba: oh your love for mabo tofu. Never stop. ♥

☆ Ohno has quite a fast gag reflex. That, and he doesn't seem to know how far to stick things in.

☆ How are you loves doing? Update me. <3

I woke at 5:20am, tossed and turned, and finally gave up at 7am.

Now I'm really, really tired. orz

As a pick-me-up, I reread some of my doujin, so!

( Yama Pair Doujin #2: My Baby Blue )

... breakfast now. Maybe I'll try for a nap in the afternoon. *weeps*

[edit] I cried just watching the special for My Girl. This drama... this drama.

It has been a while since I paid attention to the little Ohno fanboy. ♥ Maybe you all already know about this, or have heard about it. But have some translations from their HSJ radio shows... at least, I think they're from HSJ radio shows? Maybe you HSJ fans can enlighten me. :D;

( You know, lately... Ninomiya-kun is cooler than Ohno-kun -- listen to Chinen panic when his love for Ohno is questioned )

( They're asking about the kind of fireworks we like, right? -- Fireworks, Chinen, FIREWORKS )

PS: Shukudaikun! The boys in train attendant uniforms! asl;kd m-moeeee

♥ - Got my first J-web mail from the neeners the other day! I-It made me happy. *sheepish*

♥ - I didn't know that the "My Girlfriend is a Fujoshi" blog compilation was made into a movie! Not only is it hilarious, but I can actually identify with the fujoshi in there. orz A butler accidentally brushed her boyfriend's hand, and immediately the fujoshi and all her friends went, "EEEEEE SOCUTE".

( Fujoshi movie blahblah )

♥ - ( Three reasons why this season's dramas are amazing )

Who's following these dramas?? HANDS IN THE AIR. o/

♥? - ... aaaand I'mma lie down now. Been feeling dizzy for the past two days. >: (ps: more doujinshi pics coming up soooon.)

PICTURES.

( Virtual tour of ze apartment~ )

( Peek at a yama pair doujin )

COLLEAGUE: Akiiii.
AKI: Yes yes?
COLLEAGUE: I found a picture of Arashi in one of my magazines. Want it?
AKI:
AKI: YES. 8D

And... my tiny, tiny gift to all you dears.

( Aiba talks about his worries during his hospitalization... (and Arashi's past life) )

♥ Happy 10th Anniversary, Arashi ♥

italics - Japanese

BOY: Who do you like better: Arashi, or this one? [slaps friend's back]
THIS ONE: :D:D:D
SENSEI: [cracking up on the side]
AKI:
AKI:
AKI: Obviously Arashi.
BOY: HAHAHA REJECTED.
THIS ONE: SHUT UP.

Some girls in the class turn bright red when I talk to them, but hilariously, there are some boys who turn red, too. Both genders are super cute when I tease them about it.

( Arashi Meme! Stolen from... a lot of people lol )

I promise to get to your replies tomorrow - glad to see lots of you are doing well ♥ - but before I crash--!!

( Arashi no Shukudaikun highlights )

GOOD NIGHT.

♥ - TELL ME HOW YOU'RE DOING, LOVELIES, I MISS YOU GUYS. ;o;

♥ - omg a neighbour finally used a wireless that isn't locked! I'm actually using internet in my own apartment omg THANK YOU NEIGHBOUR.

♥ - It has been confirmed - internet to be installed Sept 11. Eeeee.

♥ - Went to Kobe to see friends. Best weekend ever. Can't go wrong with friends and Kobe beef! \o/

♥ - I finished Gyakuten Kenji. Edgeworth's cravat; how I have missed thee.

( Cut for people who absolutely want to know NOTHING until they've played the game )

♥ - Replaying Gyakuten Saiban games. I almost forgot Naruhodou's English name is Phoenix Wright. Clearly replaying is required.

♥ - Psych is amazing.

♥ - There is an Ohmiya in one of my second grade classes, though one of the boys is more of an Aiba/Nino mix. For simplicity's sake, let's call them AiNi and Ohno. When I introduced myself, the AiNi mix cat-called, while his Ohno friend giggled. Then, while I observed the class from the back, AiNi peeled off a sticker from the desk and slapped it on Ohno's back. Ohno didn't even flinch. After five minutes, Ohno absently reached behind, took the sticker off, and turned around to hand it back to AiNi with a |> smile. Two minutes later, AiNi slapped the sticker back on again.

♥ - In the corridor, Ohno spreads his arms out. AiNi runs forward slow-motion. They embrace. And twist their heads for a mock-kiss. Girls in the hallway shriek with laughter and tell them to stop being stupid. (I somehow managed to walk by without breaking into a fit of giggles.)

♥ - ... I felt a sad, bitter taste in my mouth, watching the Kokuritsu reports on news programmes in the morning. I'm here. They're here. But I can't watch them. I now have a renewed drive to get tickets to a Dome concert. Preferably Osaka, but... I think I'm open for any venue at this point. >/

♥ - Belated happy birthday to Jun~ Arashi songs are playing everywhere here, fufu.

♥ - asdfl;kj INTERNET in my apartment.

Off to eat breakfast, do laundry, and work. Sob work.

Sho's fifth in the list of male talents kids want to be when they grow up. What really amused me was KimuTaku taking third place, and the little kids going, 'CAUSE HIS HAIR IS SUPER COOL.

Never underestimate the power of Gatsby commercials. XD

Next TSD will have Aiba and his whacky project ideas for zoos. Something involving a goat crossing a plank that's set three or four storeys high. :D

Also, I was finally watching Marie's appearance for the VIP room and omg, hilarity. Interesting point to note: Marie used to say that she liked perverts. Yet now, she likes sadistic men, and calls Aiba a pervert in a tone that suggests it's a negative thing. So, ahaha. Grain of salt and all that, I guess.

( Marie's analysis of the boys & fashion segment )

Dash Summer SP tonight!! *jiggles*

PS: If I hear the NYC Boys song one more time, my brain is going to explode. ;o;

( NEW! HIMITSU NO ARASHI-CHAN: VIP ROOM W/ UETO AYA )

( NEW! HIMITSU NO ARASHI-CHAN: HOST ROYALE )

90 min SP next week with tons of segments and a special performance! They'll do the fashion segment with comedians, and will be judged by AneCan (the most popular fashion agency) models!

I... don't really like the voice thing, so I'm going to bed now, sorry. ^^;;
Whoa what's this, host royale, too!? back with updates in twenty. |> GOOD NIGHT.

Ohno's looking less dark, though! Happiness. *___*

Parentals are here and my dad got a hotel room, so I'm using the internet. \o/ I can finally reply to comments later tonight. *beams*

And omg Arashi with Disney characters CM!?? It came up on TV and tickled me so much I actually fell off my seat laughing. Sadly may not watch an Arashi concert this year. So close and yet so far. *weeps* May scour Yahoo Auctions to see what the prices are like, though. |D Does anyone know when Dome balloting results come out?

Also, I was interviewed with another colleague for the local cable news channel. You can tell my place is rural whe they interview foreign English teachers about their jobs. *snrk* Unfortunately, I don't have cable, so I have no idea if they used the footage; and if they did, I didn't see how stupid I must've looked l-lol. I was just blabbing nonsense in Japanese, though the reporter was very encouraging. Young, male and cute. ;;

Himitsu no Arashi-chan tonight, fufu.

PS: Ohno's on that comedian Ninety-Nine show next week dressed as a samurai. XDDD No idea what he's promoting yet but the preview has him yelling at them! Will update after I've checked out the latest TV guide... though I guess someone will probably get that info out way faster. *sheepish*

I have four minutes left to my 30-min internet cafe usage, so let's make this a quick update:

-I have no internet at home and probably won't have any until September sob
-My apartment is HUGE, and there's a guest futon (hint: VISIT ME)
-My TV only has four channels, but two of them work for my entertainment purposes. TBS and NTV, if I'm not wrong.
-There's something in country waters, because the boys here are tall
-and some are pretty good-looking augh
-Met some students, met a guy who comes around the apartment selling bread stuff, made a friend in an AU shop assistant (Endou-san!) near the train station

Aaand I gotta go.

Hope everyone's safe and doing well!
