素直な気持ち伝えるのさ

There was supposed to be a typhoon today. Instead, the sky is bright blue and it's sunny and 30º C. What the heck, weather.

In other news, last weekend, yomimashou and I hit Tokyo for a shopping trip! As I mentioned, we went to eat delicious yakiniku with fencer_x, imma_holiday, and amyused, but we also hit Sunshine 60, Mandarake, K-books, and my personal favorite makeup shop in Japan, Skin Food, before we got dinner~ Of course, we recklessly spent our government-funded JET salaries (...er, yes, Japanese people's tax dollars are going towards my wardrobe, hurrah) on adorable new clothes, makeup, and Johnny's goods, but seriously, what more could you ask for in a weekend of shopping? Also, despite the fact that Hey! Say! JUMP doujinshi is incredibly hard to come by, yomimashou managed to buy a Takaki/Chinen doujinshi that was written during the period of time of the original Hey! Say! 7 Junior group, which was possibly the least disappointing doujinshi purchase ever. It was really awesome, and included a really hilarious short bit about Yamada posing in front of the bathroom mirror for an hour |D;; Also, the artist's rendition of tiny, fat-faced Chinen was great. XD;

In fun things news, we have tickets for next weekend to see On8 on yomimashou's birthday! While I'm disappointed that there's not a honkouen this season, I'm excited to see an On live for the first time! And then, we managed to get Johnny's World tickets for December 2nd... my birthday! But more importantly, Hikaru's birthday~ So hopefully they'll do something special for that! But sooner than that, we're hoping to be able to go to the Bakaleya movie opening night showing on October 13th! It might already be sold out, but we're hoping that no one in Gunma is that hardcore |D; Unlikely, but we'll see! And... in the least exciting and most embarrassing news, Sexy Summer ni Yuki ga Furu drops on Wednesday, so I should be getting the CD I preordered at Summary, complete with stickers, in the mail sometime this week, hurrah.

And then yesterday, TV decided to be ridiculously awesome for whatever reason, and NiTere decided to show a documentary about Johnny's Juniors narrated by... Tuti. Yes, it was a fandom collision for the ages, and hilarious to listen to Tuti's dramatic narration of how hard it is to be in showbiz as a teenager (though one of the juniors they interviewed, Yasui, was 21. I had no idea he was so old!). The documentary was really awesome and interesting though, so if it becomes available for download, I highly recommend it! Also, four of the Bakaleya boys were on some weird variety show about weird TV shows from around the world, and did some hilarious senpai monomane. It was great... and I'm so happy to see the boys get any publicity they can ♥

Speaking of monomane, randomly today, two girls from first year (one of them is my favourite kid, but don't tell anyone I have a favourite) who came to help the English teacher carry her things to the classroom saw me and came over and made some ridiculous face. I didn't have any idea what they were doing, so I asked what the face was, and they responded "ミランダ先生のものまね！" (an impersonation of you, Miranda-sensei!) |D;;; In the first year class, somehow, it ended up that I always get cast as the idiot in skits because once, I did something ridiculous to make the kids laugh, and so now the teacher plays it up, and I've become the boke to her tsukkomi, or something. |D; I'm not sure how I feel about this, but... I like that the kids like me? |D;;;

Unrelatedly, on the work front, some guy who's conducting research on elementary schools is stealing my class on Wednesday, about which I'm not thrilled. He's not teaching from the book, planning on teaching entirely in Japanese, and keeps saying "you're the assistant, so you can maybe translate into English sometimes..." :| I guess I'll just have to wait and see how it goes, but as the person who bears the brunt of lesson planning and work most of the time in elementary school, I'm so not excited about this or about being told that I'm the assistant who doesn't know how to run a class.

And then on Thursday, all the new ALTs have to go to some sort of seminar... whoopee. So thrilled to sit through MORE lectures. But I guess I get out of work for a day...? Honestly, I don't even think this is a good thing. -____-;

But whatever! It's nice out and I have new clothes and am going to see lots of fun things in the near future (none of which require new uchiwa WHAT WHAT) so I'm happy. :3

( Guess what came in the mail today~ )

In other news, my life still = busy, but @____@ trying to at least finish a fic or something...

Because I'm a cool kid and Jay is my second favourite *pnish* character (shut up, don't judge XD), I made a Jay lovebar!

( 俺の名は . . . 佐野大樹ジュニアーだ！ )

And since I liked some of the images I cropped, I made a few icons, too. XD I've made a bunch of odd icons recently that should get an icon dump over at electric_boys, but for now, have three Jay icons. XD;

See the scarf in this picture?

Does it look anything like this here scarf?





THAT'S BECAUSE IT IS.

YES, THAT'S RIGHT. THAT SCARF I WAS KNITTING FOR WASSHI?

HE WORE IT TODAY.

*___________*

I made that scarf. I touched that scarf. I tried that scarf on for size.

And Washio Noboru wore it/may still be wearing it at this moment.

FUCK.

(...haha, the lighting/quality of my cell phone camera is so bad...)

Well, I happened to stumble upon this quiz and, in great amusement, took it. My result:

( *drum roll* )

I'm not sure whether to be amused or insulted. XD;

So, today, at the suggestion of fencer_x, I was browsing through the Samurai Mode blog, and I found a few cute things :3

Firstly, as it turns out, Mizuki has a sort-of abnormal pattern for what he calls the *pnish* members. He calls Daiki "Daiki-chan," which, of course, makes sense, since they're brothers, and I'm sure when they were kids, Mizuki took great pleasure in patronizing Daiki with nicknames like that. XD;;; But interestingly enough, he calls Eiji "Moriyama" consistently throughout the blog (and in the interview, I just wasn't thinking about it before), and Tuti is always "Tsuchiya." Wasshi, however, is always "Wasshi" (he writes it わっしー, which strikes me as sort of funny, since more people write it in katakana, as ワッシー). Outside of Mizuki's own brother, he's the one who gets a pet name. What does this mean? I really can't say. But I know what I want it to mean. ^__~;;

And then, in this post, Mizuki (who tends to spam the blog a lot; any post you see entitled "佐野瑞樹です。" is him XD) talks about how he was complimented by the director for working hard to the point of his muscles cramping to get his fight scenes just right. At the end of the post, Mizuki concludes:

"All right!! I'm kindly going to teach this method to Wasshi, who's struggling with his posture and sword fighting!

He'll definitely be really grateful!!

He then follows up with a photo of Wasshi.

Obviously, this is another Mizuki-being-Mizuki moment, since he seems to plan to offer his services to Wasshi completely unasked, and seems to think that Wasshi will think he walks on water once he has shared his GREAT WISDOM... but I still think it's a pretty cute interaction. Like, Mizuki choosing to divulge his new method to Wasshi, like it was a big deal or something, and, of course, Wasshi playing along because Wasshi's way too nice of a guy not to. XD; I feel like, since Wasshi'd be a willing audience for Mizuki's need to peacock-strut, he'd end up always showing off to Wasshi... which seems awfully cute. XD;;;

...I'm a cool kid, I know. XD;

I wrote up a plot summary of Western Mode for those who just can't wait for the DVD to come out! XD; Thanks so much to fencer_x for proofreading for me~

And without further ado:

( *pnish* vol. 12: Western Mode )

I KNOW I'M REALLY BEHIND ON REPORTS but I'm working on catching up, I promise. TT___TT;;;

ANYWAY:

Thursday night, I saw Santies again, and this time the guest was none other than Kimeru! Since Kime is one of my favourite former TeniMyu boys/fabulous, fabulous girly men, I was delighted, and considering all the stuff that went on during first cast Tenimyu, I was interested to see how he would interact with our own Moriyama-san after so long! I was super pumped... But it definitely lived up to all my expectations!

( And you know you want to read all about it! [WARNING: bizarre RPS pairings beneath!] )

That's all for now! I'm going to try to get the final report, the one with Tsuda Kenjirou as the guest, done as soon as possible! I also am planning on writing a report on Kimeru's live that I went to today (Saturday, the 25th), and maybe the Kitty Guys event from Thursday, so... hopefully I'll get those done eventually XD

Ahahaha... how did this happen again?! This is really a short pointless fluffy drabble as requested by fencer_x! Also not beta'd, so I apologize for the plethora of typos that I'm sure I didn't catch.

Title: Pillow Talk

Disclaimer: Seriously, I have no idea what to write here.

Rating: PG

Pairing: TAKO-CHAN.

Warnings: BL, fluff, implied sex and mentions of prostitution

Author's Note: This was prompted by fencer_x! (er, like everything in this "fandom"?)

( The last few minutes of the night before he falls asleep are by far Mako-chan's favourite part of the day. )

I am SO SORE. I took class today, but I shouldn't be THAT out of shape. Apparently, I am, though, and oh god, is walking going to be sad tomorrow. @___@ I already hurt all over.

I also auditioned for my piece in the spring gala today. It went... interestingly, to say the least. Here's to hoping everything works out @____@;;

AHHH I'm not at all packed for Japan and it's making me stress all of a sudden. WHERE DID ALL THE TIME GO??

But, on the bright side, I made some new *pnish* desktops for myself and yomimashou, and I made a Tuti and Nagayan background for Parvati (the blackberry) :3 How did I fall so much in love with *pnish* recently? XD;
