EXILE REPRIEVE

I could not withstand any longer. I promised myself that if I answered 20 comments, I would allow myself an entry. And I finished 20 comments, so yay! ENTRY! It's hard being away from LJ for so long. Thought it was what, like, 2 days? I'm massively addicted.

So quick updates; I started Nobuta wo Produce. I've taken exactly one cap so far;

My thoughts; I like it a lot, though I really don't find Kame attractive at all. Might change, considering I never thought Ming Dao was hot until I watched Prince Turns to Frog. But regardless, I like his character a lot. Hell, I like all the characters. And the mysterious bitchy girl is TOTALLY Toda Erika's character, right?

In other news, I got acceptance letters from the Mandarin training centers at Chinese Culture University, and Fu Jen Catholic University. My third and second choices, respectively. Figures I'm still waiting on Shida, which is my first choice.

Did I ever mention that

sn0tcat is coming with me to Taiwan, which is AWESOME since I won't be alone, and we can be awesome there together, like how we were in Europe! Seriously Lisa; GREATEST FRIEND EVER.

Um, what else... I'm still pretty obsessed with Byakuyako, despite not rewatching any of it. But I still think about it a lot. I always know a drama will be a favorite of mine if I think about it for awhile after I finish. It happened with Coffee Prince, Love Contract, and Hachimitsu to Clover, my three favorite dramas. I need to icon it, because apparently it is NOT a popular jdrama in blogger-land, which makes me sad, because it is THE SHIT.

Speaking of favorites, I made a list of my drama favorites (10 favorite jdramas, 5 favorite twdramas, 3 favorite kdramas), and might post those eventually. Maybe.

But now I need to go. I'll try to answer another 20 comments tonight! Until then I have to go order a laptop (which is harder than it looks... stupid options), and watch some more Nobuta.

I'm really really glad too! I would have gone alone, but it would have been about a million times more stressful for me (I come from a large family, so I'm almost never alone normally).

It is scary, but the good thing about being a student, is that it's easy to make friends with fellow students. You'll probably encounter a population of expats, which should make the transition easier!

(deleted comment)

Hehe, excuse me if I think you're lucky ;D
I have two sisters, a brother, five nephews, and a niece in my immediate family. I have a bunch of aunts and uncles too. I personally dislike all the chaos, especially from the kids.

I do most things by myself too, but I hate doing new things by myself. So like, going to Taiwan alone would have scared the shit out of me. I would have done it, but my psyche would have been in a lot worse shape.

Hehehe!! I don't want to spend too much time with the expats, but it's nice to have other people who are having the same experience.

I don't really find Kame attractive, but I like his acting and the dramas he's acted in a lot (I loved Tatta Hitotsu no Koi with him and Ayase Haruka. It has one of the cheesiest, but cutest things ever connecting their two characters!). It took me a while to get into Nobuta, but I ended up liking it a lot (though I'm not a rabid fan, like some other people).

It's great that you'll have a friend with you when going to Taiwan.

This is the first drama I've seen him in, but I like his acting to far!
Hehe, I keep getting recs for that drama... I guess I'll have to watch it soon!

I can't say I'm a rabid fan either, but I am enjoying it quite a bit. It's sweet, and full of friendship, which is nice. I love friend dramas.

Isn't it?! It makes the whole transition really good, since we can complain about how Taiwan is so different than the US to each other ;D

For a while I was a HUGE Kame fan and went on a giant Kame kick. I ended up watching a lot of crappy dramas and specials. Now, I really just don't consider him that handsome (Cute, I guess, but waaaaaay to frail. I guess I'm growing out of the Johnny's thing I had going for a while) but I do think he is a good actor. He did a great job as Shuji and I think he was completely adorable as Kosaku in One Pound Gospel

I agree, this is the first thing I've seen him in, but I like his acting so far! But yeah, he's so thin, and yeah, frail looking... Definitely do not find that hot.

I'm two eps into Byakuyakou. Everything is so pretty and gloriously messed-up.

Ah, isn't it?! It's so wonderful in it's utter messed up-ness. Wait until you get to the necrophilia. Then you know you're not in Kansas anymore.

Haha it's true XD Even though I was into Johnny's I never liked KATTUN, just made fun of them because they were so kimoi! But seeing Kame act, he actually is kind of adorable, but I guess that's more because of his personality then his LOOKS. (Don't know how he was in one-pound gospel because he's like a STICK! In real life it looks like he'd have to try to GAIN weight to make class rather than LOOSE it! lol But he was good as that character!)

Congrats on the acceptance letters :D!!

I like his acting plenty, but he's just too... weirdly pretty to me. (Hehehe!! He IS a stick! There's actually a plotline where he has to lose weight?! That's distinctly unrealistic...)

Thanks!! It's not like it's hard getting into the schools, but still, it makes me happy!

I totally agree about Kame. (But I DO have that unfair hatred towards KAT-TUN thing going on, so I don't like ANY of them..) I LOVE Shuji though. Actually, Nobuta is what made me stop hating Kame (though I never became his fan, and I don't think I ever watched any other of his dramas). I just really love that type of character -- the person who stays distant from people. I love his thoughts during the first episode, omg.
..I need to rewatch Nobuta one of these days, mainly because I never watched the last two episodes! Somehow I just missed out on them..

I AM the greatest friend ever, aren't I?! (sarcasm, obviously..) But it WILL be awesome! And we'll have awesome adventures!

Hahaha I've been thinking about Byakuyako a lot too. Sometimes I try to explain it to people (in my head..) but it's too hard!

I'm trying to clear out 10 emails a day, but the more I reply to comments, the more my inbox fills up..it feels all pointless and shitty..

I don't dislike him, or anything, but he's just weird looking... too girly or something. I'll probably get over it though! (Heheh! Unreasonable hatred! I have unreasonable dislike for DBDK because I'm a Big Bang fan... though I admit, I haven started liking them more recently).

I love the character too! It's like he's popular and everything, but it's all a lie, and he hates it all. It makes me weirdly happy. Hehehe! That's radnom! Though, I didn't watch the last two episodes of Densha Otoko for like, a LONG time.

Oh, totally! I'm not being sarcastic though! I think it's amazing that you decided to go! You have no idea how much easier that made my choice, or how excited it made me. I was TERRIFIED of going alone. WE WILL HAVE AWESOME ADVENTURES! I'm counting on it! I swear, it's going to be one of the best times in our lives!

It's totally one of those dramas that stay with you. I'm still trying to reconcile it in my head, like, WTF happened there?! It's so odd...

Hahaha! I KNOW! I answered 20, and received 20 in return... It's an endless cycle!!

I definitely am not a fan of Kame's face shape. Also, he's REALLY SKINNY. Like, just walking down the street would cause his bones to shatter.

I knooow! I love fake people (characters), and he's SO skilled at being fake.

Well, I think it's awesome that we're going! And you know, you've done most of the research (BY FAR); I'm just like..tagging along. For funsies!

God, it really is. I'm just glad I'm not famous and/or popular, so I don't have to deal with HUNDREDS or THOUSANDS of emails in my inbox!

Yeah, it's kinda rat-ey... Yeah, I know! Like, he's so frail, it's amazing he's still alive. His being alive and active literally amazes me.

He IS skilled at fakeness! I want to be that good at being fake tooooo!

I do too! It's going to be awesome. True, true, but of course you didn't know you were going, so why bother doing the research? Hehehe, that totally makes it sound like you're tagging along on a weekend trip to the hamptons or something.

Eh, I know! I mean, I don't get hundreds, but I do get a lot. And I love comments, but I'm still totally unequipped to get so many. I mean, up until November of last year my lj was flocked ALL THE TIME, and I had like, five friends. The sheer amount of comments I get now confounds me.

It is! (Though it's still not nearly as rat-y as Moriyama Mirai's face). I get freaked out by really skinny Japanese guys sometimes, cause dude, WHERE DO THEY KEEP THEIR ORGANS?!

Hehehe I know! it's like we're disgustingly rich people or something!

what? kame not attractive? = =/// *strongly disagree*

yay no LJ hiatus~

I'm sure I'll eventually find him attractive (I seriously didn't get the big deal about Ming Dao, Nagase, or even Zai Zai until I saw them actually act), but his looks aren't my usual type. He's almost too pretty...

Hehe! Nooooo... I can't stay away that long! It was never really a hiatus to begin with, it was basically me punishing myself for not answering comments. I now have a reward system going, where I answer 20 old comments, and get to post an entry. It's psychology in action!

hm, you can watch kami no shizuku next~ kame's in that, too.

haha. psychology in action, indeed, lol...

Oh, thanks for the rec! *puts on huge-ass jdrama list*

i am a kat-tun fan so this may be hard to believe but like you i didn't find kame attractive AT ALL while watching NwP about 3 or 4 years ago? :)) but after a few doramas, i started to see his potential as an actor. he is really really talented, IMHO. :D

AKIRA IS LOVE LOVE LOVE. ♥ I ship AKIRA x NOBUTA so hard!

This is the first drama I've seen him in, but I am enjoying his acting. It's not that I find him ugly or anything, but he's just not my type at all... I'm sure I'll end up loving him after another drama or two :D

I SHIP THEM A TON TOO! Well, I kinda ship everyone, actually. But I read Akira/Nobuta fic the most, so I figure they're my favorite. I adore Akira so much!

I know a lot of people don't find Kame attractive, and that honestly makes no sense to me, because I find him one of the most classically handsome j-actors of all. There are a lot of guys that I like more because of their personalities or charisma or something, but Kame has such a strong-featured face and arresting eyes that I can't help but find him handsome.

Congratulations on your acceptance! I'm still so impressed that you're making this change in your life and getting out there and doing something. In fact, I'm really jealous - I wish I had the guts to do the same thing! As it is, I'm planning on enrolling in a Jap course this semester, and then I'm going to do a TESOL course next year before going to Japan after graduation in July.

I'd be interested in hearing your drama faves! ♥

Well, he's very not my type... He's too pretty, and too thin. It's not that I think he's ugly, he's just not my type. But, like I said, he's most definitely grow on me. A lot of times I find people either unattractive, or just feel meh about them until I either see them in motion (like with Nagase... I don't think pictures do him justice), or watch them over and over again for awhile (like Ming Dao... at first I didn't get the attraction at all, but now I LOVE him).

Thanks!! I'm impressed with myself too! I never once thought I'd be able to do this, but I did, somehow! For me it was less about guts, and more about absolutely hating my current situation (I hate my job beyond all reason).

THAT'S SO AWESOME!! I wish I could plan so much ahead. As it is, I'm clueless as to what I'm going after I get back from Taiwan. I figure I'll either go to grad school, or go back to Taiwan...

Yay! Okay! I will post them then! After I answer 40 comments...

Loved this show. I think it was the only time that both Kame and Yamapi actually put in a good acting effort.

I love it so far as well! Aw, really? That's disappointing... but at least I get to reap the benefits of their acting right now :D
