WILL WRITE FOR MONEYSZ.
As you guys know, I'm a relatively penniless eternal student, and I'm also not in uni yet so I can't join a collecting chain or what. The typhoon that hit the Philippine's been a big ol' nasty one, and it's killed thousands of people. Any contribution = a piece of fiction from me that I swear will get to you before you die, but maybe not before you leave fandom. They just look like they could do with the help, and I'd like to contribute where I can.
Next up,
MY BIRTHDAY CAME AND THEN IT WENT and it was great. My classmate made me some glorious ass cupcakes
Under the sea themed, because I'm applying for marine biology courses. It started out as me wanting to do just gen'ral Biology, but the Biology courses in Japan are aaachingly dull compared to the number of boat rides get in marine biology, so there you go. She also won me a raccoon plushie from a UFO catcher,
because I think she was trying to win at being the world's best simultaneous girlfriend and boyfriend. She did, I'd say. It was straight outta manga, and the vaguely disapproving look on his face has inspired me to study more than once (maybe twice).Plus lots of old friends wished me on Facebook, which is one of the best parts of Facebook, and birthdays. It's the only time when it actually feels like it gets people closer.
On the 25th, me and little sis went to see our first concert(?) in Japan. They're called lives, and I don't know if it's the same in English or not, but it means a concert but in a small venue. Tickets were expensive, I think, but it's for a not-super-famous band and the odds of me ever getting to see them live again are pretty minute, so it was worth it. We dressed up in our big girl dresses (the ones that are way too cool for us, and are totally out of our league) and went and I had a great ass time despite knowing maybe just a quarter of all the songs hollered at us. And I wasn't kidding 'bout the small venue part. We were maybe five feet away from the singer at all times, which isn't a bad thing, because the singer was mighty fine to look at. You can hear the Dodos here, and you can see the bum of lead singer here because I have a problem and you stopped judging years ago.
Childish?!?!??!? Me?!!?!?! You'd be right. They provided most of the songs to my studying playlist this year, and if a studying playlist has ever been important to me, it's now (when studying is just so damn hard).
We met the second guitarist in the cafe upstairs, took a selfie SO RIDICULOUS I'm not even putting it on here, and man great times were had by all.
Next item of business (I like ends of years so I want to record stuff before I forget 'em)
We had our enormously important university entrance exams yesterday, and lemme tell you, they didn't go great. They went worse than when I was less prepared so who the hell knows what's going to happen to me. I've got decent enough marks from the June exams to have a pretty decent chance at two of universities and courses I want. It probably means I don't have much of a hope into getting into an A-rank university in Japan, but with increasing age I think I've started to mellow out a bit. If everyone in this world was constantly that bright, no one would write soppy fanfiction or soppier lj entries, right? Hahahahasobsjustalittle. The exam centre was the school of Arts, Tokyo University, which likely is the first and last time I'll be stepping foot there (when I was thinking about applying for the environmental informatics course that's taught in English, it said don't bother if you aren't a straight-A student at all points in your life. I got a C for physics because I don't understand particle-wave duality, and I don't think I want to be somewhere that thinks I need that to be able to protect trees). The building was old, they didn't turn on the heating, the seating was cramped, and the floor had mystery mold on it that left a creepy damp odour on my poor poor bag. Today's Monday, and the lack of legroom and heating has culminated in my crap knee looking like this
from all the heating plasters I put on it to try and ease the stiffness. My life is mostly held together by family, fandom, and Salonpas.
Plus I handed in the first university application for Keio, and they said both of my (touchingly, beautifully written) reference letters Unacceptable, because when they said last institution of study, they really meant highschool, whereas I've got a super colourful education (and emotional) background.
Who knows what's going to happen to me, chicks, but in general I'm a happier and calmer chick than I've ever been. I can't complain, except I still am going to, because frailties of human nature or just my general failings, or something. Maa, as always, it could be worse. Despite this being a tremendously stressful period of my life, in a year and a half in Japan I've needed to go to the doctor's exactly once, for an ear infection. In the UK, at the height of my misery, I went to hospital pretty much every other week. Even with a bum knee, I'm healthier, and that's pretty good for me.
IN LIGHTER NEWS.
I've not watched past episode 3 of Free!!!! but I think I'm into the fandom now? Because the tag for it on tumblr seems to imply that it's the second coming of swimming perfection, or something. Plus the merchandise for 'em are so widespread here, if I wanted to wake up with a shaaaaameful body pillow of a fictional man, I could get it within twenty four hours. You keep doing you, Makoto. While I keep doing you in NaNoWriMo.
IT'S GONNA BE DECEMBER THEN JANUARY in no time at all. Hope everyone in the northern hemisphere's dressing sensibly and ramping up the heaters, and let's get through these next few weeks with hands held and health hanging in there, all right?
Yu over and out.

CRoll got their glitch fixed so I sent some $$.
Also a local store chain is taking in store donations.
Yeah jsut after the shot can expect symptoms (check) but this is more than a week later...
There's like 60+ pages for Makoto's bithday on pixiv (17th). ^^
I only like Makoto paired with Haru.
An ending for EFriendly would love to see (one day) :)
nanowrimo will you be posting it?
no subject
YOU'RE THE BESTEST.
When I had my rabies vaccination it kicked in a few days later than it usually should've >A< So maybe that's it hopefully?
Mako's just the biggest mega-cutie everrrrr. And he's the Kanda of this fandom, I'm willing to see him with p much anybody~
lmao bb i think we all are hoping heartily for the ending for EF. i haven't given up yet but wao it's been a while >A<
if you wanna read it?! when i say it's going well, it means i'm on track to hit 50 k. The story itself is a mess of magic and original characters and just weird ass stuff going on between lavi and kanda XD i don't mind posting, but i oughta give you fair warning, i thought.
no subject
I had effects the next 2 days right after it and then was ok couple days and then downhill. Just didn't need more joint pain/soreness. Few days of at times not being to put weight on my right leg.
Knee feeling any better??
CR b-day post for Makoto, Haru's seiyuu tweeted a message for Makoto ^^
Rin still grates the wrong way many ways for me.
US fandom is RinXHaru leaning whereas JP fandom is MakoXHaru. I'm with the JP side ^^ (which like for pairings almost never happens for me).
So it's L&K based? Yatta for that! :) Read the whole thing I probably can't (not any time soon t least). Still got bookmarked fics on ff.net from 2 years ago I've not gotten to -_- Congrats on getting it written!
Is the kink meme alive at all? I haven't looked in a looong time.
Off to bed (12:37am)
no subject
Urgh, soreness is terrible. You feel like you should be able to do the stuff you want, and then everything gives out. Knee braces don't help?
Today's not a good knee day, put it that way.
I saw >w< super cute. And it's prob'ly because I haven't seen all the episodes yet, but I'm ambivalent towards Rin. That said, though, RinHaru still doesn't look like a workable model to me, they'd be a runaway ship heading right for a massive iceberg. Mako and Rin, or Mako and Haru, that's where it's at 8D
orz most things in my life are LK based bb. It's almost embarrassing. And don't worry about it, god only knows when i'll go through it again to try and minimise the mss XD Thanks, I'm steaming along quite well!
eh the kinkmeme got purged a month or so before, taking with it all of Fowl Play, which is unfortunate seeing as how my phone died around the same time and now i have no copy of it ahahahcriesintohands.
SLEEP WELL.

; ______ ;
Lots of people!! Hate to think what traffic was like (even FOOT traffic).
Physio appointment I have for this Fiday morning. Hope he can tell me what the heck I did to my leg. Knee itself isn't the source (probably why happened still) but area above the knee. Just a wrap as a brace (I don't have any braces) using and ice. Definitely keeping me from exercising as I should be able to. Grrr
Sorry yours isn't behaving nicely either :[
Plenty of fodder for RinXHaru but it's like Allen/Kanda for me. JUST NO.
orz most things in my life are LK based bb. It's almost embarrassing. ***Almost ;)
Back to work...
no subject
It was freakin' hell, yeah. I didn't go again this year, because it was post-surgery and there was a real chance I'd get shoved over and trampled orz
Good luck for tomorrow c: And days like this I wish I was a doctor or a med student so I could hazard some guesses. Knees must be the most delicate bodyparts ever, by how often they cause us trouble orz
lmao I just don't see the attraction. Why be boring when you can be Lavi Makoto?!
Pfft you're a charmer aren't ya.
FAITO. Btw, do you happen to remember what the Ems study at uni? I keep thinking I know history majors, but I can't put down any names.
no subject
The glorious LXK fics lost is sad, truly ; _________ ;
Err, not sure what they studied or I've forgotten, gomen. They graduated this past spring/summer. Em1 I think had history aspect to her degree...
no subject
;-; some of them i'd've paid money for to buy in book-form, god.
Time sure passes by quick when you got no time to mind it, huh!
no subject
Yeah attack of the virus season, helped graciously along by some many people who have no concept of good hygiene. :/ Hope you don't get any worse and can be rid of it soon!
Project mutated even further and need to be done by Friday. Headdesk.
Em2 suggested asking LJ if the files from the kinkmeme can be restored, if you can get a copy. You can go prod them for what they graduated with. :)
no subject
It got better than it got worse. It appears that trouble has been brewing at home, and I'm pitifully weak to emotional stress ahahahahaha
FAITO. I got an exam on Sunday.
I'll look into it. Otherwise, what a loss ;-; And I shall! It's so lonely on lj lately eh, with nobody on but like, three people or somehting.
no subject
Yeah, everyone on tumblr/facebook/twitter (non of which I use) or something instead of LJ ; __ ;
Course exam or entrance exam? BEST OF LUCK!!!
Pain level up a notch (might be fighting off a cold/flu). Must do work now.
