those lips as red as a rose

[yeouya]

The WST was over two hours of sitting in a stuffy classroom with no air conditioning. x_x It was about as challenging as any of those high school standarized tests (i.e. not very), and was especially easy because a lot of it dealt with error analysis and things that I've spent the whole semester doing in my Tutor Training class and with my tutees.

I like trains, though. I watched some little white birds diving for food at a lake. They had really sharp wings and would hover and hover and then just tuck their wings in and drop like little missiles into the water. Sometimes they'd sort of just angle their wings a bit and fall like sheets of paper. Really really pretty.

And trains are good for listening to new music I put on my iPod. Today was KAT-TUN's DON'T U EVER STOP (and dammit, I want to type 'YOU' every time) and SuG.

So. I have this thing about Jin. Sometimes I think he's great fun, in a funny, hip-swiveling sort of way - depending on context (I mean, the first time I saw a picture of him was when he'd gotten to LA and ended up in a pikachu outfit), and sometimes I think he's annoying, in a bratty, I-don't-really-want-to-be-here sort of way. I rarely find him hot, though (yes, shocking! call it overexposure?).

But 'kay, LOVEJUICE changed that. Also that moment in DUES with the "Hell, yeah." But mostly LOVEJUICE. Especially that bit in the beginning that goes, "Drop. that. shit. like." Which makes me laugh because it's so.... Jin+LA, but also turns a small part of me to goo. >.>

I actually really liked all of their solos. Ueda's is pretttty and cello-y, and I haven't seen the lyrics for any of these yet (I know they've been posted - I just haven't read them) but it sounds angsty. His voice sounds clearer than before, too.

Someone should write Subaru/Ueda fic. >.> In which they write a song together. Angstily. This is crackfic, of course.

Those two were kind of the standouts for me. Junno's voice didn't bother me in his. Sometimes, he sounds a bit too... I don't know how to describe it... but I'd say I typically like his singing voice the least of the group's. Koki and Nakamaru's were sort of normal for them, but in a good way. Same with Kame's - I can totally picture him doing another chair dance with this song, too. XDD

I was going to listen to both KAT-TUN and SuG on the way down to San Jose, but I ended up listening to DUES on repeat. >.> Listened to SuG on the way up, though, but I slept through a few songs. This was not because of the songs - I really like SuG; they don't sound like most of the other Jrock I listen to; I was sitting in the sun.

Aaaaaaand, happy birthday, Alei and Karen! ♥ I wish I had presents or a shiny graphic or something, but... maybe belatedly. I make no promises, though. XD

I may need a Jin icon. For those slutty moments that I have oh-so-often-right.

That pretty much sums up my entire feelings on Jin and how I started to find him attractive. And how I still want to punch him in the face. Yes. It was Lovejuice + soccer in a disheveled tux. Official lyrics says it's 'drop that shit life' but most of us do not believe. XD

You mean you haven't made enough slutty icons of other people? Or are you saying you need a dumb slut icon? *BRICKED*

When I listened to the radio rip of DUES, I had it on repeat for over a day. The crappy version of Lovejuice was on repeat enough to rack up 400 counts. x_X By the time I got the CD version, I'd somewhat played it out.

Did you watch the Music Station of their solo performances? Junno . . . just . . . where is the KokiJinnosuke fic about teaching Junno street cred and 'how to be a thug'. WHERE IS IT?

Yes. He's such a brat in the Making Of the Signal PV, but I actually like it there because everyone is not awkward when Jin is being dorky and annoying. XD But most of the time in recent non-performance clips, I want to smack him. Especially cKT, where he usually ends up lurking in the background when everyone else is being idiotic. Bakanishi, where are yoooou?

I don't think I've made that many slutty icons! I mean, I don't have any of those icons uploaded. Except maybe this one. I mean, even my Ruiza icons are fluffy. And I specifically maybe want a Jin one. XD

Ah, see, that's why I usually don't download rips. I only downloaded LOVEJUICE because of you, and then I only listened to it once because the quality bothered me so much. :P

NO I HAVE NOT! YET. I think I saw the link but I was trying to remain unspoiled. YOU WRITE THAT FIC.

Also, it is totally not 'life.' >.> I like my valley girl!Jin lyrics the way I hear them. And official lyrics are often not what people sing anyways. :D
