mugen_edamame'sup babes. First order of business is
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.

WAIT FOR ME BB. I swear, one day, it'll get done and we'll both weep in happiness!!!
ikr plus recently I've been getting a lot better at cooking so i can even shore him up for what he lacks in the kitchen department as he covers my back with his overwhelming kindness. the trouble i have with trying to write for the series is that they sorta come in a combo of four or five, and ensemble casts are really hard to write for! >A< the cute bastards
