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

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.

[yhibiki.livejournal.com]

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.

[nekokoban]

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. :)

[yhibiki.livejournal.com]

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.)
