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.

wow i'm up late
Isn't it also angsty or something? Past episode three, all my knowledge is based off of tumblr gifs and my optimism re: a happy outcome for all the well-built babies
it's the middle of the afternoon here, well, more like 5:30 PM, how are you awaaakeee
...there's like, one ep of angst? i mean, there's constantly that stuff with their friend Rin, but the reason for all the "angst" with the guy turns out to be so... idk, typical overdramatic anime melodrama? that i can't take any of it seriously.
my sister reminded me of some shit memories and im just here wondering about life rly
LMAO
rin's got funny teeth i can't take it. plus the abridged series 50% off is so shittastically funny that i don't think watching the rest of the series will live up to my expectations now 8D!!!
awwww =( *HUGS AGAIN*
thanks anyway? XD there really should be a teleport machine already. we could zap food across the world, then, it'd be so awesome. can you imagine ordering food directly from a restaurant in, idk, India? hmmmm damn I'm hungry i really have to go look for the cookies
i didn't know there was an abridged series, but i now feel like i have to go watch it or i'll never be able to fill the void deep in my soul
it's three am i should probably at least turn off the computer orz
screw india, i'd have one in my mum's kitchen. and i'd use it to teleport myself there and ask for crab curry and cuddles every day. what are scientists doing man?!?!?!
50% off by octo-i can't remember rest of his name. Nagisa's freakin' amazing in it, it created holes in my soul just so it could fill it up. Amazing, 10/10 would Free! again
oh dear, probably! or you'll be a zombie tomorrow XD
yeah, i get that, but i was thinking about chicken tikka masala and i just... hmmmm...... i really wish scientists would hurry up with it *sigh*
will go look for it! thank you =)
zombie-ing on sundays isn't too bad!
hehhehheh my mum can do curries no problem mrmmmmm. though now that you've said it i desperately want it to. so i'll hit up the curry restaurant tomorrow whoop whoop
watched it yet?
zombieing on sundays isn't too bad except when you have places to be and no one'll let you stay home
i found this recipe for "exotic turkey breast" which is, pretty much, turkey with carrots and PINEAPPLE and some other stuffs and it's SO GOOD OMG I can't even tell you. but i'd kill for some chicken tikka masala done right....it's been, quite literally, years since I've eaten it...
watched it, subscribed to the channel, would kill a baby whale for more
this week i'm so dead you can't drag me from bed for love or money
whoaaaaaa. i guess pineapple would make the meat tender, but i can't even imagine it lmao. you a big self-cook, yo? i want masala and cheese cake someone help me
hahahahhasobs. i love nagisa. and haru and makoto are p much totally unchanged i can't even
http://thosedamntriceps.tumblr.com/post/67773987389/someone-sent-me-this-via-facebook-idk-who-made
this gif describes my feels yeah
wish I could say the same, it's so damn COLD here, and my dear little bed is so warm
nagisa was hilarious. and haru and makoto!! oh god XD I get the feeling I was supposed to ship haruka with rin, but... makoto... *___*
omg that GIF nagisa THE MUSCLES OH GOD XDDDD
YUM!
SAME shit one morning I woke up it was 6 degrees i could've wept
that sorta sounds like my obsession with the soy milk here. It tastes really weird and earthy like a mouthful of dirt compared to the stuff back home in malaysia, but every time I have the chance I gotta buy 'em.
haven't gotten through all the episodes yet, but i can already tell i'd ship makoto with aaaaaaanyone. that said, rin and haru seem like they'd kindof accidentally die a week into dating, so i can't yet see how the relationship could work longterm (cough0t3cough)
I LOVE NAGISA TO HELL N BACK BB
what's the name of that luscious looking thing?
I swear, I can't take my hands from under my blanket without getting frostbite
really? for some reason I can only ship him with haru. hell, I'm watching the eps and Makoto shows up on screen with Haruka and my brain just goes "HE LIKES HARU AND HARU HAS NO IDEA OW MY HEART". if I read fanfic for this it would all be comfort fic with haru and makoto getting together.
haru and rin are really intense, so it does kind of give off that vibe of ~not going to last the first week of dating~ for some reason in my head I see haruka doing or saying something and rin totally overreacting and yelling and then there's some swimming and they drown? idk.
i'm usually all for ot3 to solve shipping doubts (or ot4s, or ot5s.... ah, dgm fandom, i miss you sometimes) but for some reason I can't do it here? idk, i just want to throw haru at makoto and have someone kick rin in the butt.
NAGISA 5 EVER
you mean my lovely pastry addiction that is in that delicious photo? er, in portuguese we call it a "covered palmier". there's two versions, the one I showed you, and another one without the solid sugar outer layer. they're both really really yummy.
today was unseasonably warm judging by my jeans and t-shirt
i just reckon, anyone that nice has gotta have a hundred wheels spinning madly in his brain. like how lavi is all lulzyololifeisgreat but secretly he's an utter lavi. AND I TOTALLY THINK MAKOHARU is way cute because they are way cute, but for me it's the other way around. i can imagine mako working out with most people, but haru sortof seems like he's seen all 7 billion people on earth and makoto's just nice for him.
drowning is not the extent i see them going to, more a house fire because they're too busy pissing the hell outta each other to keep the batteries in the smoke detector replaxed i too dk
dgm fandom is friggin' inundated with terrifying original character fanfics it literally hurts my heart. maybe i'll want to kick rin's butt when i see the later episodes, thus far he's not been a massive douchenozzle just yet.
THE ABRIDGED SERIES CANNOT BE UPDATED SPEEDILY ENOUGHHHHHH.
ehhhh, palmier looks totally different when i buy 'em. the shop we go to when i'm at home makes custard and chocolate palmiers, and they look like this

idk if it's because it's winter (?) or what, but i've been really into pudding. morinaga brand cocoa milk pudding is, i have discovered, the fucking bomb happysobs
