maybe cuz i only really liked a few songs from the new CD, or i just feel like i'm getting too old for this stuff, but i didn't enjoy the concert that much. =( and it was only 1 hr 15 min long!!!!! 15 min shorter than last year, and 1.5 hrs is already short!! i think victoria justice was singing a little longer than they did!! or at least she had equal time on stage. i should have realized earlier... she is not just an opening act. it's like half of the concert is hers, since the title of the concert is "BIG TIME RUSH AND VICTORIA JUSTICE, SUMMER BREAK TOUR 2013"
oh well. it was still fun to be there, watching them sing and dance. and seeing everyone excited because of them. =)

(not the best pic of them,
but i like how nakatsu seems
a little possessive of her here. ^_~)
(note: i think most nakatsu x mizuki fics, they write mizuki as "him" because it's from nakatsu's perspective. but that seems weird to me, so i'm just gonna use "her". because it's not really from his perspective, i guess it's mostly third-person narrative mode.)
"Mizuki...what happened today, anyway? You seem upset but you won't tell me anything. Does it have something to do with Sano?" Nakatsu quietly asked, as they walked past the fountain of their school. They don't have to worry about anyone else overhearing their conversation because no one else is here at night. It's late and they just came back from the okonomiyaki restaurant. Nakatsu leaned against the fountain casually as he waited for her to reply.

(appropriate liz lemon gif! xD why is it so hard to make new friends when you're a grownup?)
EDIT: http://www.okcupid.com/
this site is awesome, too! it has more cool features and more people than interpals.
it's more for dating, but you can also make friends there.
(sorry for the lines in between the paragraphs, but as usual, LJ will get rid of the spaces if i don't do that, since i'm copying and pasting from Notepad. WOW, I'M SO GLAD I'M FINALLY DONE WITH THIS!!!! *__* NOT THAT I DIDN'T LIKE THIS MOVIE. WELL, I THOUGHT IT WAS OK, AND THE LOVE SCENES AND PRETTY PARTS DEFINITELY MAKE UP FOR THE BORING SLOW PARTS, BUT....still, this movie was quite boring. haha...and don't worry, there are NO SPOILERS!)
(also, the CGI was really great!)
so i finally decided to look for other good japanese dramas to watch, and i found a lot! :) i thought i would share my list here and if anyone has any suggestions (japanese dramas or movies), please comment! ~_~

almost done with this one. i love it!! partly because i love gakky and she is so cute in here, but her dad being all girly cuz she's in his body is so funny and it's just a really cute and heartwarming story. and kato, from NEWS is her boyfriend!! i was wondering why he looked so familiar. lol... didn't know till i looked at his wiki page

well, you know i really love The Host right now, so of course i love jake abel because he plays the role of ian. but then i looked up his past major roles and i like most of them!! though he often was the bad guy, but i'm sure that will change now that he's gotten more popular because of the host. his characters luke and adam are both so misunderstood and tragic!! =( mark was a jerk at first, but later he redeemed himself.
jake is 25 right now. he's not super handsome or photogenic (it would help if he didn't always gell his hair back and have stubble all the time!! xD). and sometimes he just has this evil look? or he sometimes looks like a farm boy from the south because of his big teeth, long face, and stubble. lol.

(this is exactly how i felt after the movie. lol. liz lemon gifs are the best. NERD RAGE!)
i just watched the movie yesterday. after around 1 month of being excited about it, i was extremely, completely, utterly disappointed. was i really stupid for expecting more from the movie? i mean, the book is great!! =(
i wrote a review at The Host's yahoo movies page, and i gave it 2 out of 5 stars (the average, 3.5 stars, is too generous!). this is what i wrote:

(ayaka and joutaro in the bar/cafe... i don't get her. is she using joutaro to force the gloomy guy to agree to officially be her boyfriend? i actually like her more than kahori, just because i don't like maki yoko, who isn't a good actress and i don't think she matches with toma.)
ok, so i actually decided that i'm going to quit watching this drama. i skimmed through episodes 4 and 5, and it just seems like it's more of the same boring, slow-paced, depressing stories with too many long awkward silences. i just can't stand dramas like this. i thought i'd keep watching no matter how bad it is, because toma's in it, but i realized that i should not force myself to watch it if i don't like it. i mean, i don't even like toma's character!! i think his boyishness/awkwardness when he's talking about/with ayaka (his crush) is supposed to be charming, but to me, it is annoying and sometimes i think he's overacting a little.
sigh...this is the first time i'm not finishing his drama. i hope no one hates me for this, i already feel guilty about it. but it's not like i have to like EVERYTHING toma is in just because i'm his fan, right? i shouldn't feel bad about it. i'm feeling relieved, actually. now i'll have more time to do other stuff. and if anything interesting happens in the drama, i'm sure i will (or have already) see it on tumblr! haha...
i guess mostly japanese people use it, but there's people from many different countries there.
here's the link, if anyone else is interested:

decided to not use it anymore after 1 day. lol.
it's because unless you pay, you can only send smiles,
and u have to wait 4 ppl who pay to msg or request chats with you,
and it's video chat only. ughhhhh... o__O

went 2 mitsuwa earlier this month and saw this toma magazine but didn't buy it....^^;

i DID buy the sakura scented bath roman bath salts!! yeyyyy!!! *_*
