egad, it's dusty here

THEORETICALLY I still have this journal, don't I.

Hi everyone I'm working on those fic prompts people gave me like a week ago orz orz orz I AM LIKE THE MOST EASILY-DISTRACTED THING IN THE HISTORY OF FOREVER AND A DAY.

So I have a new schedule at work! I am now 8:30 - 5 (as opposed to 9 to 5:30), but it is ... surprisingly difficult to adjust to even just a half-hour, because I am a terrible nightowl and if it were up to me, I'd go to bed at two and wake up at ten every day. Okay, that's a lie. More like go to bed at two and wake up at nine-thirty and even then that'd be pushing it, one way or the other. On the other hand, getting home half an hour earlier is completely A-OK with me.

My June feels like it was incredibly jam-packed, even though in retrospect, I didn't ... do that much? I saw my aunt and uncle for dinner, I went up and harassed

harukami and

mackzazzle and the Laser-Eyed Super-Smart Cat Of Doom for a weekend, I ... did ... other things ... ? Watched Doctor Who and started Life on Mars and went to the Freemont Solstice Parade and there are things I am so forgetting. Somewhere.

And then 4th of July weekend, while everyone and their grandmother was at AX,

zinjadu and I combined our magical planning powers and got

theladyfeylene up for a long weekend. :D In our truest fashion, we had adventures in the sense of her plane got in early, we had the wrong phone number, her cell had died, and I proved myself to be the most oblivious person in the world. (No, really. APPARENTLY someone can be yelling my name and waving at me and I will still walk right past them until they are in my face going HI! >_>a On top of the hilarity of Haru and I missing each other for nearly half an hour at the ferry, when I was flopped on the bench behind her and she was pacing in front of the exit and NEITHER OF US THOUGHT TO ACTUALLY LOOK AROUND sob, I think this probably bodes poorly for me if I ever go somewhere to meet people.) We got mobbed by squealing ravers on the bus, discovered a fantastic new Japanese resturant in the ID, and there was a lot of just hanging out and watching Top Gear.

Somewhere in me I have an essay on the ending of Doctor Who season four and inherent tragedy and characters, but it's not going anywhere right now.

Instead, I will say that I really like Junjou Romantica/Egoist/Terrorist and I like sunny days when the weather is still cool, and HEY YOU SEATTLE FOLKS I know that Jessie is arranging things but you guys should totally come see WALL•E with me because I didn't get to when everyone else went and it looks so cute and I hate going to movies by myself, I'm so lame ;;. Okay? Okay. :|b

The link worked for me, so maybe it's blocked? Or maybe it doesn't allow hot-linking >_>;; ANYWAY, I assume your work hasn't blocked LJ since you're replying to me XDD

... s-sob

I'm home now, and it's STILL not working. .___.a Do you have it locked or privatized?

OKAY WHUT even I don't have permission. :/

The entire picture thing is being screwy for me though.

Alright, I set it to a public image now. It was set to "all friends" before, so it SHOULD have given you access, but it doesn't seem to like that LJ-login add-on that I have for firefox. :X does it work now?

IT WORKED \o/

... and wow, that's. Gosh. I don't know, Nowaki, what do you do when he says that, instead? XD

WHIP OUT THE FANS? Call Usami-san over?... Lol, Hiroki keeps them both around for that reason. Nowaki is his heat pack, Akihiko his cool pack.

(Is that why Hiroki couldn't date Shinoda? His temperature was too normal? XDDD )

Now, now, I doubt Nowaki would call Usami-san for anything if he could absolutely help it. XD He'll figure something else out!

(POSSIBLY. Shinoda was just too normal to punch through Hiroki's set up defenses the way Nowaki did. IT'S LIKE FATE OR SOMETHING. \o/)

I BET WHATEVER IT IS, IT ENDS IN SEX. Because all BL adventures end in sex. (After which, Hiroki will yell about how he's so much hotter now than before.)

YES, 運命！ or possibly HITSUZEN? (... What did Nowaki have to trade Yuuko for Hiroki, and did he REALLY get a good deal out of it? XDD )

OF COURSE IT ENDS IN SEX. Sob. (Oh, Hiroki. You really can't win, ever.)

EVERYTHING IS HITSUZEN. I can't do Japanese type on my work machine. >_> (No, Nowaki isn't the sort who'd ever see Yuuko's shop; he's even more independant than Doumeki, so he was just someone who really lucked out. :|b)

You're right, Nowaki would never get to see the shop. :O But Hiroki might! Although I could see him as one of those people whose wishes get sort of completely ruined by the end of it. >_> (ON THE OTHER HAND: if Hiroki's wish was to get with Akihiko, it DID go wrong, but he got something better out of it in the long run. Actually, JR really doesn't need to be crossed with Holic. Yuuko deals with people a lot more messed up than them XD )

BUT, WHILE WE'RE TALKING ABOUT CROSSOVERS: Gravitation/JR, Y/N? XDD I bet Usagi and Yuki would HAET each other, while Misaki and Shuuichi would be BFFs. (... Unless you've never seen Gravi. Which would surprise me! Because it was like, THE bl anime when I was first getting into the stuff. XDD)

See, I don't actually know that Hiroki would see Yuuko's shop either -- for all his griping and flailing, he's actually a very determined person himself. It's one of the things Nowaki likes about him, after all -- I suspect Hiroki would be far more tempted, but in the end, would prefer working and achieving what he wants himself.

HAHAHAHAHHA I WAS ACTUALLY THINKING ABOUT IT THE OTHER DAY. I'd be a little surprised if Usagi and Yuki didn't know each other already, in fact. I BET THEIR DISLIKE IS FAMOUS IN THE PUBLISHING INDUSTRY. 8Db

You know, I actually think Usagi's "serious" books are probably better than Yuki's, because Yuki writes strictly romance novels?

On the other hand, I bet Yuki's romance novels > Usagi's BL novels BY A LOT. XDDD Does Yuki know about the BL novels?

I CAN SEE IT NOW. A publishing party that both Yuki and Usagi were forced into. They drag along their SOs (or rather, Shuuichi invites himself, Misaki gets guilted into it by Isaka). There are death glares.
The only thing I can think of is that Yuki is technically out, right? So he and Shuuichi are officially a couple, while Usagi and Misaki aren't. I can sort of see Usagi trying to out himself right then and there just to be on the same ground, much to Misaki's dismay. IT WOULD BE FULL OF LULZ.

Oh yes -- I think Usagi's "serious" books would definitely be better than Yuki's -- I imagine that a lot of Yuki's books kind of straddle the harlequin/"chick lit" line, so they're not exactly all fluff and sap, but they're not the kind of serious heavy literature that Usami Akihiko-sensei is known for. ON THE OTHER HAND, since romance is sort of his specialty, there'd be no questioning that Yuki Eiri >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Akikawa Yayoi by a long shot.

... Misaki's life is pain and hilarity. After all Isaka's efforts to keep them from talking about it and the "scandal," Usagi does his damndest to come out then and there. :|b Shuuichi would encourage it. Misaki would sob and be all WHY ARE YOU ON HIS SIDE, THAT'S NOT OKAY!

SHUUCHI WOULD WRITE A TERRIBLE SONG ABOUT IT. And all the fans would assume it was about him and Yuki, and Misaki would have to live with the shame every time the song got played on the radio/TV. XDD

I bet it ends up being Manami's favorite new song too. "Misaki, have you heard of this band? You know, they say the lead singer is living with his author boyfriend. It almost sounds like you and Usami-san, except of course you aren't dating him. ^___^" (I love Manami and Takahiro. They are so stupidly cute.)

It would be a terrible song, but it would be a chart-topper #1 however they work, since I am unfamiliar with how chart-toppers work even in my own country. XD (You know that Usagi would be behind a good number of the requests to play it.)

I love Manami and Takahiro too -- it's honestly nice to see a happy well-adjusted het pairing, even if they're kind of sattellite/only briefly mentioned. She was probably a fan of Nittle Grasper in the day, and enjoys Bad Luck because of their similarities. :Db

IT MEANS EVERYBODY AND THEIR DOG DOWNLOADED IT FROM iTUNES. (iTunes doesn't lend itself well to capitalization. :X) Of course, Misaki's luck being Misaki's luck, it would end up getting played at every store he went to, be repeated five times in one hour on the radio, be the bgm for a commercial that plays twice in one cm break on tv, AND. It would be the new opening theme for the Za*Kan anime XDDD SOMEHOW.

I think Manami would probably clue in to the Usagi/Misaki thing before Takahiro. XDD She seems to be more on top of things than Takahiro. But she might decide not to mention it, out of respect.

Well, that explains why I don't know anything: I never use iTunes. XD But I could definitely see it becoming either the OP or the ED for the Za*Kan anime -- and poor Misaki, he wants to watch to the previews for next week's episode, so he's STUCK WITH THAT STUPID SONG AUUUUUUGH.

I really hope Minami's more observant than her husband. I suspect you're right, though; she's probably guessed and isn't saying anything because, well -- it's better for Misaki to tell his brother himself, right? In the meantime, she ... gosh, who wants to bet she reads the Akikawa Yayoi line and has put two and two together about who "Akihiko" and "Misaki" really are.

XDD Neither do I. I actually hate iTunes.

The worst is that the song gets stuck in his head! So now he's humming the tune everywhere he goes, and then people will call him out on it. "Oh! You like that new Bad Luck song? I love it too!"

I bet Manami loves all the Akikawa Yayoi novels. She didn't put realize it for the early ones, because she didn't know Usami yet, but once she met him and she read Akihiko/Misaki with a brother named Hirotaka, it was too obvious to ignore. Plus all the OTHER similarities. Maybe she's secretly happy about the small cameo she makes as Hirotaka's fiancee/wife XDD
Although she takes care to hide the novels from Takahiro. She doesn't THINK he'd realize it (HE'S A BIT DENSE), but just in case.

OH MY GOD I DO TOO. I HATE IT WITH A BURNING PASSIONATE HATE. 8( Mostly because I think I'm a little ocd when it comes to my music, and I didn't like it trying to rearrange everything for me. :\

Poor Misaki. His life pretty much exists to be full of problems, isn't it. >D

I'm sure Minami has always been a huge Akikawa Yayoi fan, but yeah, totally didn't put together the original "Akihiko" and "Takahiro" from the earlier novels until the Junai series with "Akihiko" and "Misaki" came out. (I mean, if nothing, I think Usagi was pretty good at hiding his feelings for Takahio -- better than Hiroki was, at least!) It's her indulgence reading~ someday, she'll get Usami-sensei to sign them when Takahiro is busy elsewhere. :)

IT IS BULKY AND SPYING ON ME. iTunes, that is >_>

Lol, of course, while he's signing the books, Misaki walks in. And sees his sister-in-law with the BL novels about him and starts hyperventilating, and Manami will just reassure him that she thinks it's cute. Of course, if she DOES know, that means she'd be on their side and try to help them convince Takahiro that Misaki doesn't need to move out. >_>

(Perhaps she also asks to meet the inspiration behind the Egoist novels, and Usagi will tell her that it was the scowling guy at her wedding who held the very, very, VERY drunken toast.)
