So, almost everything on my to-do-list is done and I think I can start stressing over the apartment issues tomorrow. I hope so.

FTF posted reveals. No one attempted to guess what I wrote ;__; It's a shame that it's such a "no once cares" thing because I would have liked to know how ninja or not I was this year. (Since normally I am very transparent). My recipient didn't guess me though, so yay :D

Anyway since FTF ended, DOA is of course starting. Pimping goes here.

Devil or Angel.
The JE collaboration fic challenge.

I have a favor to ask regarding the Lyrics theme explained in the intro post. ATM I have around 30 lines from different JE lyrics, but I definitely need more.

What I need is concrete parts of songs, that are either funny, substantial, famous for one thing or another. Like the Giri Giri part from Real Face or Omoide zutto zutto part of Love So Sweet, of course with English translation.

This is how it will look like on the actual list from which people will choose:
Kanjani8 - Misetekure: Sono karada mo Sono kokoro mo Subete boku ni misete kure (That body, that heart, show it all to me)
KAT-TUN - Love Yourself: Kimi ga kirai na kimi ga suki (I like the you that you hate)

It can be just few words, or a longer sentence or two, but I obviously miss stuff from groups I don't really know, Kisumai, HSJ, SMAP, Tokio . . . but in general, anything that comes to your mind is fine, even famous misheard lyrics, I can always weed out the ones that I want, right?

Help! I want as many choices as possible. *puppy eyes*

Lastly, does anyone want to write with me? I'll be a bit harder to write with this year, we'd have to start only after May 10th when I come back from Japan, and most of my writing happens on weekends these days, but I do want to participate . . .

I think this is all I have for tonight, I'm now off to fulfill the "relax" part of my to do list

♥

Today would be actually a good day to post about how things have been since I've moved whole 8 days ago, or just today because today felt like kind of an okay day but mha, I just don't feel like it. So instead ima pimp!



Double the trouble!

Devil or Angel.
Now posting!

So yeah. I hope people will find something they'll like over there. If you would help me spread the word, that would be great too. here is the handy box for the sparkly text only, not for the banner:

My own DOA experience this year has taken a few interesting turns and twists, and I am honestly really anxious about the result, but I regret nothing. There are some great moments in the fic (I think) and I learned a lot and tried a lot of stuff that I usually do not do at all when writing, so it has definitely been challenge in the right sense of the word. Now only to manage the rest of the mod duties that parasol_odori carries with me (awesomely) and life will be peachy.

Also no more exchanges for me until Hols, so I should FINALLY get on with my Help Japan fics. I am pretty sure it will still take a lots of time because work is really intense, but I will get there!

Have a nice weekend people!

I . . . wanted to post properly, but I am so scattered that I don't think I can.

I mean, work continues to kick my ass, and I have no clue why I thought this week would be better, the article grew into humongous size which is why it is not ready, I am probably battling a pretty heavy case of spring tiredness, but I will prevail and my winter/spring/what kind of season is this shoes broke down. It´s time for spring to come, now really.

BUT BUT BUT!

fic_the_faith starts posting tomorrow!

And since there were still no icons from the new KAT-TUN calender available yesterday when I wanted to update the hyphen_chan's fond, I ended up making some. Yesterday, they looked ugly to me, today it is a little better. LOL

I've decided to post them so you people can gear up and be ready to flail on awesome fics we're going to post ;D. Right.

( Here be my feeble efforts )

All but the last two were made with the Fic the faith needs in my mind. Basically this is me telling you that if you look at hyphen_chan's icons right now, you'll have an idea about what is waiting for you. Let it be said I kept all Jin related icons from last year, because well there wasn't much to work with since last March ;__;.

Now who is exited?

I should say that Valentine’s Day isn’t a holiday typical for my region. AT ALL. It got big here mostly because businesses grabbed it and made it an opportunity to sell cute items, more presents, more flowers, more fancy meals at restaurants. As it is I don’t particularly like the holiday because it puts people who are alone on display. I don’t hate it, but when I got a promotional MMS from my operator with a wish of happy Valentine, telling me how I can send this and other cute MMS to people, I got a little grumpy. This is also partially because as an imported holiday, it really is one for the lovers and, one could say, lovers only. Friends don’t wish each other happy, nice, pleasurable Valentine’s Day, nor do they get particularly affectionate or say how much they love each other on this day. I would be considered a fool f I brought it up at work for instance. So it just gives teenagers a headache, as it was proven by the two poor girls whining about being alone today on my bus this morning.

Why am I saying this. I don’t really know the procedure here. I don’t know how to say it today especially that I like you. I mean I like you, love you even, on most of the days of the year. And I sure hope I can let you know that I do through the entire year, not really needing that special day. I hope I do tell you more often than once a year.

That said, lots of you celebrate this day, and I myself have succumbed a little (a lot) by running a Valentine´s exchange for the second year in a row. So I am wishing you a day filled with extra special love and its displays.

I also want to thank those five awesome people that left me a message over at Valentinr. You made my morning (IHU for being anonymous, just kidding okay, I just am racking my brain who you are, that’s all <3)

And since I mentioned the exchange, here be the recs from it. Because OMG I can has RyoDa recs on this day of the year.
1) The Prince and The Prince, fairytale take with some hilarious cross-dressing that you would probably not expect reading the title. Just believe me on this one okay?
2) The Stray , read the warning, there are some description of wounds, but it has a really really pretty imaginary and the best deception of a happy drunk EVER! An interesting read
3) For a SPIN , ehm there is Ryo and Ueda holding hands and spinning like little kids on an empty bar dance floor. Among other things. Future fic, Jin has completely new troops, and Ueda is still somehow a mystery, also I love this a lot
4) The Ambiguity Of Indifference, mpreg, the most rational I have ever seen, funny, brutally honest and gentle all in one *_____*
5) 21st century escapism, I’m not going to say I want to sit in that car because I would break the charm, but again this fic has amazing description and makes you feel how relaxed and good Ryo feels.
And lastly the fic for me that you should all go read because it is full of touches, something I really really love and I can like almost feel why Ryo asks form them, and anon san probably has no idea how many things she hit, also someone sent this to me and I might have a guess but I don´t know yet and seriously I am so loved!
6) All There Is To Tell, toucheeeeeeeeeeeeees *_______________*

I’ still not sure I can take so much awesome. Seriously . . . I am kind of all shaky here. Go give those authors some love!

ILU ♥

Oh, I was said that I am totally easy to read, and idk who wants to go through all that Ryoda to find out, and maybe I made it easy by reccing, but the first person that guesses right WHO I wrote for can have a drabble. Probably not any time soon, but I will write it. PM me or idek let me know somehow if you decide to play ;D

Our carps. I believe they are all dead by now. In memoriam? It is a tradition to eat carp on Christmas Eve, for diner around here.

Our Christmas tree. Before . . . and after, times two. We went back to red after several years of copper hues. I must admit it does look tiny better on the yellow wall background of our living room. I do hate that wall.

The mistletoe that was in front of our house door when I came home on Monday. It is now used elsewhere which is a sham.e I liked it there. I had a good laugh when I found out my dad shot it off a tree. SHOT IT! I am also surprised it felt down all the way to the ground without getting entangled in the branches and thus getting stuck.

My hair has finally been cut. The same style as last time. My mother and apparently my brother too don´t like it. I am glad it is short again.

I need to watch Natsu no Koi wa Nijiiro ni Kagayaku. I mean I. love. these. post. cards!

These scans, all of them, are amazing. All of KAT-TUN are so pretty in the snowy shoot, and I like the serious second one too.

I am (again) linking fic_the_faith.

And The New Year´s Eve Fic-a-thon! It has awesome awesome banner, and I am going to go and try doing it sometimes after I get up from bed on the January 1st. YAY! Lazying around with fic! You should do it too!

And right now I am going to sit on my butt and finally finish Trains and Trails because this is getting ridiculous!

Oh yeah, my sister is right, jrockurisumasu is a pretty community.

I´m currently in Brno, staying in my friends´ apartment on what I call the most awesome air-bed ever. I am . . . recuperating since at home life was and will be crazy and no one understands I need like a brain reset. I have also woke up today with my entire body aching and realized that I have finally turned off. Whatever.

There is a huge penis on the main square in Brno (hello change of topic). Not a penis, a vibrator, as my friends pointed out, since it does not have balls. It is shiny and black. It is a clock supposedly, but I can´t see how it works and how it tells the time. I swear it really is an oversized vibrator. See I´m not lying.. It´s hideous to tell the truth.

Now I have that off my chest, some linking.

I have not linked my News Fic On fic and I know I am very late, but I love it very berry much, so When there´s smoke, Ryo/Massu made of awesome. ♥

And then there are Rin´s Ryoda drabbles that she sent me in emails while I was studying and then she posted them. I may have had a period when I knew one of them more or less by heart because I´ve read it like five times in a day and I was in my "remember-those-regulations-or-you-will-suffer-mode." Rin was so awesome past few weeks by the way. As well as so many other friends of mine. So I am saying thank you again.

So Super Motion aka are you sure, it´s what you think it is? And Slanting Rain" (the water slew made of awesome)

Right, speaking of Rin. At this time, two weeks from now, we´ll be somewhere in my house making stupid jokes about Ryo being an M (and hopefully not being awkward around each other). Or YAY SHE IS COMING OVER!

That is all, I´m leaving you with two pals too cool for us all. I´m going back home and back to crazy tomorrow. I have sent 3 CVs and 2 motivation letters today. It would be nice if at least one of those companies got back to me.

So here is my flail agufesdjfkgblhnjksôalsdfgbnhjmkjmnhbgfdjkllsdfgjkmnhgbdf

also you get my attempt at banner while jents gets the pretty pretty version from naoryuu



This was a blast and I have yet to flail about my partner and everything. I also have been kind of MIA lately, so sorry that all you get to know lately is who has birthday.

But back to DOA. The challenge will be posting for the next 6 days and lets just say the fics look all EPIC! That said, it is a small exchange and I would hate to see writers not getting any feedback when their little (or not so little) masterpiece just went out.

So please help me spread the word! I have the typical precoded box for you again, and no it does not include my fail banner, just some slighty sparkly text. It would be great if the challenge continued on with fun and good atmosphere. Now I am off to flail inwardly because OMG WE ARE FINALLY POSTING!!!!

So the list is not going well . . . not that I had any illusions, instead:


Devil or Angel.
The JE collaboration fic challenge.

The short story behind the weird sparkles: One hyphen_chan met on SM-kun (which is nice and neat and totally logical nick name for shock_me_kun) in a bar. SM_kun needed someone to make a layout for a community. Hyphen_chan knew just the man! Or woman, or whatever. The layout is pretty, the header is funny (courtesy of wonderful and super fast naoryuu), more importantly the idea behind je_devilorangel is FUN!

The challenge was created to give people an excuse to write fic with someone else. So, now you have a legit reason to go to that person who amazes you, the one whose inner workings intrigue you and you would love to know more about writing process of that one author.

Anyway, I am doing the challenge because I swore to god not to sign-up for anything deadline demanding until fqf sign ups. That said, you should do it. Or consider it. There is a hook-up post if you are still somehow shy to ask one person to form a team with you, but you want to try and see if this works.
BTW have I mentioned the community looks awesome *__* (Alex is subtly telling you to go look and be all in awe because she feels proud.)

SM_kun is waiting!!!

Oh yeah, would you help MS_kun advertise? He is (as a mod always is) a bit hesitant to go straight to big communities, but he believes his friends have awesome friends and they have wonderful friends and so on.

This event is not an exchange, is more a happening with a little of organization, but help SM_kun spread the word, so there is more fun!!!
