This journal is now locked. Seeing as this journal contains my RL blogging as well as some fandomish things, I'm only adding people I know. My PUBLIC fandom blog can be found at gimmick_game @ dw. Sorry for the inconvenience, but my flist is a bit to large for me to manage as it is. If you are looking for my fic, you can find it all at bunnycrack for now and all fic as of September 2009 at wemakestorm. All of my graphics can be found at sonokotoba//sonokotoba @ dw and scans and uploads at: very-danger. Feel free to leave a comment and I may still consider adding you, depending. EDIT: 2008.12.28 - All previous comments have been deleted to start fresh. :) Comment to be considered.

Please join keep_a_peak for all of my scans, icons and other graphics!


That is all :)

CHANGE! Please join either sonokotoba or sonokotoba @ dw for my graphics//icons.

All scans are/will be at very-danger

❤drabble prompt requests!❤

I'm in a dryspell and I'm trying to rectify this. I have two works currently that I can't post simply because of anonymity purposes and this is driving me nuts.

SO! Pairing & Prompt, and I will give you 100 words. Fandoms I'm willing to write are Arashi, Merlin & Glee.

Go forth and prompt. I'll leave this unlocked and reply with your drabble in the comments, with a final consolidation of them up at wemakestorm

OMFG, I'd forgotten what it was like to use a vacuum cleaner that worked. I'm done forever with those damned bagless vacuums. They're more of a problem then they are good and they're dirtier too. *makes a face*

I randomly checked our AT&T bill today online because it's our first full month of usage and I'm highly pissed off that the sales associate at the store didn't tell us it would be a $30 data plan for BOTH phones. PLUS the unlimited text $30 a month. We were expecting $130 a month plus taxes, but it's now $160 a month plus taxes. *sigh* It's not as outrageous as it could have been, at least.

Ficcing is still coming slowly. I had an entire outline done for my jehols then decided to scrap it because I just didn't like it anymore. :/ Need to work on this!

I'm a little late with this, so I'm going to back date it, despite the fact that it is STILL my Wednesday.


Grocery shopping/new vacuum shopping happened today. There is a lot of mac & cheese and hot dogs. >.> Oh and ground beef in a tube. Though I refuse to go down to ground crud o' fat. Still going with the lean.

Went back to a bagged vacuum because the track record so far with bagless is 0/3. Hopefully this will be better with the pet hair and not get horribly cogged up and icky!

Um....

I extended the deadline over at a_ra_shi's layout contest until the 19th, so if you're still interested there head over and check it out!


That's all other than....


YANKEES WIIIIIN

First off:

HAPPY 10TH ANNIVERSARY, ARASHI! I knoe I said I'd make it to the 10th Anniversary cons but um...I got married instead. XD;;


With that out of the way, I'M GOING ABSOFUCKINGLUTELY stir crazy right now. While I actually do like staying at home and not really am one to go out and do things a whole lot (not like there's much to DO here, anyway), I do like getting out of the house to just do little things. Even if it's just walking around a store or something.

The lack of a car and only having a scooter has severely limited this if B isn't home. And when he IS home, he doesn't really want to go out and do anything.

Except on the one night a week he goes to Tampa to play D&D. Except now they're playing something at some fucking game shop and I can't help but be highly jealous that he's going out and DOING something while I'm stuck at home trying to fix the fucking vacuum cleaner. -___-.

And when I asked him to be home at 10 so we could possible go out to dinner somewhere other than DENNY'S? He got pissy.

UGH. I just want to GO somewhere. I want to go on a damned real vacation. Even if it's just a weekend over to Disney.

*is highly stir crazy today*

The good news is I have an outline/time line of sorts done for JEhols? Bad news is I'm not sure if I like the premise anymore....

And now comes day two of NaBloPoMo. :)

Yesterday, I started the adventure of updating my Compaq Presario laptop to Windows 7 64bit. I'd never truly understood what a 64 bit operating system was until I did a bit of research when I was first deciding to take the jump from the Windows 7 Release Candidate to the full version. Lo and behold, my laptop (and processor) were actually designed to run on a 64 bit OS.

The instillation process was a breeze (especially since I didn't accidentally boot from the CD on the restart and fuck everything up like last time)and it's now running FANTASTICALLY. Everything just....works, like it should. And fast.

Oh and I'm not burning the shit out of my leg from the fan/processor anymore. This is an amazing thing!

( a gift for those who expressed love for it yesterday )

It's only the 2nd here, but it's the 3rd in Japan which means that 10 years ago, Arashi made their CD Single Debut with "a-ra-shi". *preens*



★おめでとう、嵐ちゃん★

And now I realize that I no longer have Microsoft Office on here (clean install) and I need to go procure Open Office....

*toddles off to do so*

Well, this is it. The first day of blogging. These will be public posts, and posted also at the Nano site.

Last night was the Halloween party at my cousin Kim's house, and I had jager for the first time, though in the form of a Jager Bomb, which makes it taste less like ass. XD Hubby and I went as a white trash newlywed couple and I had a fantastic black eye.

( here, have a look! )

Today was the Star Wars in Concert event which was so amazing. Not only was it Star Wars music (loooove), it was the London Philharmonic and Anthony Daniels! So yes, definitely worth it. Hubby and I had a lot of fun.

( piiicture )

That's all for day 1. About to install Windows 7 64 bit on Miya.

I recently got sick of the default ringtones on my iPhone and set about making ringtones for it. While the process is fairly simple, it is a little time consuming and hey, it's easier just to download them, right?

For those of you on my flist who have iPhones (I know there's at LEAST one of you!), I bring you RINGTONE UPLOADS!

K-Pop:

Girl's Generation - Genie
Super Junior - SORRY, SORRY
Super Junior M - SUPER GIRL (Beginning sound effect only)
G-Dragon - Heartbreaker
2NE1 - Fire

J-Pop:
Morning Musume - Love Machine

Arashi:
Step & Go (rap)
truth
風の向こうへ
Believe
Rock You

Random:
Nakatsu's ORE WA HOMO JA NAI! (meant to be my text alert, but I'd have to jailbreak first)

---

I'm leaving this entry public because I'm linking from iza_now.

I'm also opening this up to requests. If you have an iPhone ONLY I am taking requests for any ringtones! Comment here with the song and what portion you want made into a ringtone. Keep in mind that it must be less than 40 seconds. Also, you can only use these for ringtones or alarms, mail & text requires your phone to be jailbroken. If I do not have the song you want made (any song, really, I don't mind), I will let you know and I will need you to upload it for me. Thanks!

Quick Tutorial on Use:

Simply add the ringtone to your iTunes, select "Sync Ringtones" with your iPhone connected and either choose all or select the ones you want synced, then sync your phone! Tada, done!

The RE will happen when my scanner stops being a whore.

Rules:

Comments are quite appreciated, but not necessary, as is credit if used.
Don't repost without credit as your own/crop out my watermark. STEALING IS BAD, MMKAY?


NOTE: Don't just add me, please. I'm posting this on my journal because I don't want to deal with fighting with my site at the moment. Just because you add me doesn't mean I'm adding you back, and adding me doesn't mean you'll get super seekrit things here that only my friends get. It's mostly my real life and I don't like everyone privy to that.

Since GameStop only gives CREDIT for trading in systems and I already BOUGHT the DSi (thank you B and your huge hands that can't use the damned thing), I've decided to go ahead and sell the Lite on ebay (especially because with research I've discovered I'll net more in the long run).

Click here if you're interested

It's gently used and was only bought in September of last year. It's stayed in my Hello Kitty case this whole time and would have been kept a lot longer had the DSi debacle not happened.

There is a reserve on it, but it's not bad. Plus there's also buy it now if you're interested. A little bit more than what it would cost at GameStop or something, but definitely in MUCH better quality and includes ALL original items that came with the system, including the second stylus *shock* XD.

If you purchase it and are on my flist, I'll refund the shipping charges. :)

SOLD! :)

The Fandom Appreciation Meme: My Thread

Go for it.

So I've been thinking about doing a new layout from some awesome codes I found over at xaddictionsx for about a week now, but I had been thinking about using truth or kaze no mukou e screencaps for it.

Instead, I used freestyle.

So welcome to my new layout. XD

Comments? Suggestions? :3


EDIT; The font color has been changed now. Thanks!

Sadly, my scanner has decided to not want to work on me so no scans of the booklets at the moment.

Single: MU | MF
Ripped at 320kbps, tags in kanji, file names romanized. Rar format.
*Replacement 'truth' file, since the one in the .rar skips 4 seconds in. <-- MU link of the single file.

truth PV: MU | MF
.avi, xvid codec, 95.7mb, deinterlaced
iPod format: MU | MF

風の向こうへ PV: MU | MF
.avi, xvid codec, 86.4mb, deinterlaced
iPod format: MU | MF


*Uploading. Will update as soon as they're finished. All links up now.
Update: MU & MF links for Kaze no Mukou e are available.
Update 2: MU & MF links for truth PV are now available.
Update 3: MU & MF links for kaze pv ipod format are now available.
Update 4: MU & MF links for truth pv ipod format are now available.


EDIT: From what some of you have told me, it seems truth gets a little hiccup in it a few seconds in on the .mp3. Honestly, I'm not sure what happened but after checking my copy in iTunes, I see what you mean. I'll re-rip the file and reup it to both MU and MF when I get home from work today.

EDIT 2: So after a bit of investigating, it looks like the reasoning for that little skip on truth was that in fact, my disc is scratched. -__-. I've reripped the song from the LE 1 but changed the tags so it will match up with the regular edition disc (I may be a bit OCD about tags...just a smidgen >.>). Only on MU, since it's just one small file anyway. Sorry it took a bit. There's that thing, do you know it? Yea, Life. -___-

Unlocked post because I'm going to link back to it from the comms.


Truth PV in .mp4 iPod format (32mb), encoded with the highest video and sound settings my converter will allow, which accounts for its size. Well worth it though. *___*

Preview Caps:



Screencaps are from the converted pv, not the original.

MU Link | MF Link (will update with MU link as soon as it's done) MU Link up as well.

Enjoy!

EDIT: Just transferred it over to my nano and it looks beautiful. *____*

I don't normally do this, I know. But, wow. I got a hold of the new ONE OK ROCK album today, and just finished listening to it. Wow. I really didn't think anything could beat my love of the first album, but this one has beaten it. Taka's voice, it gets me. And I remember every time I hear him sing that had he not high-tailed it out of NEWS and JE, he'd get maybe a line or two per song, if that.

MU Link of the Full Album in .rar format, cus I'm lazy.

Track Recommendations: EVERYTHING! No, but seriously, this whole album is amazing. My personal favorites are as follow:
- 必然メーカー - Hitsuzen Maker
- 100%(hundred percent)
- 光芒 - Koubou (Beam of Light)

My all-time ONE OK ROCK song will forever bee Keep It Real, but this whole album is just a mess of amazing.

I'm posting this publicly so you can link back to it if you wish and spread the ONE OK ROCK love. ♥

Anyone have Nami Tamaki's Heroine single? I need the instrumental and the torrents are dead on jpopsuki.

Check it out! :D

Yet again, there has been a bit of rapid friending on this journal.

• If you add me, and don't comment on my fonly post or I don't know you, I WILL NOT ADD YOU BACK.
• If you add me and comment on the f-only post, there is a good chance I will add you back.
  
• This journal is heavily filtered. Meaning if you're just here for the arashi, that's all you'll get. If you're here just for fic, don't hold your breath and go to bunnycrack, which is where all of my fic is posted.
• If you're here for graphics, again, don't hold your breath and go to keep_a_peak, which is where my graphics/icons are posted.
• If you're here for scans, go to my vox.
  
• This is my personal journal, meaning I'm picky on who I add and who I don't. Usually, if we share interests and you actually update your journal, I'll add you back. Otherwise, no dice. Sorry, that's just how it is.

This post doesn't apply to anyone currently on my friends list, only those that have added me recently and NOT commented on my fonly post or I don't know them. Thus the reason this post is unlocked.
