Yeah, instead of answering comments I downloaded a shitload of Kpop (with a touch of Jpop thrown in for good measure), and tried to find icons of stuff... Seems I will not easily be able to find Taki icons. I'll have to make them myself. Which kinda sucks.

Then again, I want so much to make all sorts of icons though. I need some from Sekachu, some from Byakuyako, some from TattaKoi, some from Kurosagi and Nobuta (I could easily find some of these type though), and a bunch of Taki. I haven't felt inspired lately though.

Otherwise I bought my ticket for Taiwan. SCARY. I still have to buy my flight from Boston to LA (the Taipei flights leaves out of LA). I'll be in Taiwan for four months. We're leaving August 17th, and getting back December 16th.

As much as I want to be in Taiwan for the new years (the fireworks at the 101 are AMAZING), I didn't want to be in Asia for Christmas or my birthday. I'll be 26, I will need all the familial moral support I can get. In fact, yesterday was my half-birthday. SUCKS.

EDIT! OMG I got to the not-really-a-hug hug in Kurosagi!!! And then I flailed like mad for a good five minutes. Why jdrama?! Why can't there be OTP resolution?!

It's weirdly scary. Like, now I'm ACTUALLY going, because the ticket is non-refundable...

I'm obsessed with my age. Like, objectively I know 26 is old at all, but I will still freak out. I've had age freak outs every year since I turned 18. I blame the youth obsessed media.

Here's hoping :D

Yeah... 18. Well, the thing is, in high school I was heavily into stage acting. My whole life I've wanted to be an actor, and I trained for a long time to become one. And then, you know, reality hit, and I decided that maybe I didn't want to wait tables my whole life, so I changed focus.

But regardless, being so into the entertainment industry for so long had an effect on me, so getting older feels like a death sentence. Because older = BAD when you're an actor.

And THAT is why I'm so neurotic ;D

oh man.

I'm one of those poor fools who is still bitter about Jo and Laurie never getting together in Little Women so jdrama and I were inclined to be bff because apparently I love being tortured emotionally like that, but yes, that hug not a hug thing BITES SO HARD and it's just..god. K/T break my heart in that scene. Her face, his face, it's all....you haven't seen any kurosagi fanvids, have you? Don't watch the one with the nickelback song. JUST DON'T. I am giving you fair warning.

OMG man, I'm still pissed about Jo and Laurie too! I remember getting angry at her for rejecting him, like, wtf Jo?! WTF. And then he gets with freaking AMY?! I wanted to punch some bitches.

Oh God, the hug-not-hug... it HURT me. Like, I was watching, thinking "Oh shit, what's happening?! WHY ISN'T HE ACTUALLY TOUCHING HER?!" I thought it was bad in Byakuyako, but at least they got to make out before their worlds collapsed on them.

I haven't!! But now I do want to see the Nickelback one! Ehhhhhh! Oh the internal conflict!

I was pretty young when I read and fell in love with Little Woman (family of fun sisters who liked to read and make up stuff! It sounded like heaven to me, an only child.) but I just thought, lord, if my best friend loved me like Laurie loved Jo -- they were always forever, ridiculously OTP in my head. Which was not helped out at ALL by the Winona Ryder/Christian Bale adaptation, because COME ON.

But yes, some days I can accept it in an adult rational manner, and some days my inner sixteen year old is going OH HELL NO, WHY DIDN'T THEY GET MARRIED AND HAVE INTENSELY SMART AND INQUISITIVE BEAUTIFUL CHILDREN, I DON'T CARE IF YOUR ONLY BEAUTY WAS YOUR HAIR, JO, LAURIE THOUGHT YOU WERE BEAUTIFUL.

You know. I have issues.

But yes, the tension in Kurosagi is INSANE, and it was just like, oh now the tables are turned from NWP, aren't they. Now it's Maki's turn to long for Yamapi who doesn't quite make the connection - I'm pretty sure they filmed this back to back, so....yeeeeeah.

But yeah. That drama singlehandedly responsible for the lingering/ongoing fascination with Yamapi and Maki together in drama. And maybe offscreen too, but that's another post....

Re: oh man.

I saw the movie first, so I was all like "WHY THE HELL ARE YOU DUMPING CHRISTIAN BALE?! WHHHYYY?!"... Yeah, the whole thing just irritated me.

God, I have the same thing. Like, as I got older, I appreciated Gabriel Bryne more, so it made the whole thing a little easier to swallow. But STILL.

Believe me, I have issues too ;D

Ah, the tables ARE turned! Though obviously Kurosagi loves him some Tsurara, while I think Nobuta was just oblivious.

I have the same feelings towards Ayase Haruka and Yamada Takayuki... They did two dramas, and now I need to see them again together SO BADLY.
Believe me, I've already entered that territory. I was reading RP fic for Maki and Yamapi while watching Nobuta.

26 is old? Heeee. I just turned 31 and I look fondly back on the days when I thought (and I did) turning 26 was old.

[uisceros.livejournal.com]

Hehehe! No, I don't think 26 is old. BUT 26 is old for me. Like, I don't consider anyone less than 50 to be old (and even then, look at Susan Sarandon!), but when I think of myself at this age I freak out. I've always been neurotic about my age...

I so love that non-hug, because the UST during that scene is just through the roof. Gah, why, oh why couldn't they have any good resolution in the drama of the movie :/.

Heh, I still remember the days when anybody over 20 seemed ancient. I still can't quite believe I'll be turning 40 in December :P...

[uisceros.livejournal.com]

Eh, I know! The UST! And the looks on their faces, it just killed me! Stupid Kurosagi movie... I hate when stuff like that happens.

Hehe! I think it's about damn time people invented time machines ;D
But as I explained to dangermousie, I don't think 26 is old by any means, but me being 26 is another story...
