Welcome to Gaia! ::

makes you want to hug him, does he. (^-^) there are a few Japanese artists i want to hug to see their reaction. i've always assumed Gackt and Ruki be the ones to feel awkward and make the situation feel awkward. then the total opposite would be Juken (from Gackt's band) and Kai be the ones to just make a hug super fun. like they would do the open arms, run into you, total bear hug type deal. hahaha. have the wind knocked right out of ya kinda hugs are fun. :XP: lol.

my walls are too high... stare i did a layout of a few selected posters and how it is going to turn out... and damn, i still have so much negative space. i love your reason #2. i admit, i'd be doing that too. actually... anything staring back at me scares the life out of me. that's why all the posters i choose are of the subject looking at some other direction. aside from that giant close-up of Ruki from the Shockwave issue... i have a promo poster of Gackt from the release of the Returner single. it too is an up-close shot or like the upper half of his face... so it is just big a** eyes highlighted in a very light blue-gray color while everything else was in black and white. i screamed when i first opened it. nearly died of a heart attack. confused

oh... lucky. getting to my local japantown/mall-center is hell. i have to find a major reason to get there, or i would never go. hahaha.

good luck! be a teacher. an English teacher. pay is okay, not so great, but it gets the rent paid. my friend's sister went as an English teacher, but she did it as an intern, so she wasn't paid. she said it sucked like hell. or be an overseas student. house and board is covered by the school. of course, food is on your own, unless you like cafeteria food. or a stretch... date/marry a guy from there. hahaha.

lol... i have short memory. it is sad.

lol... it is something to get use to of. an acquired taste. not everyone likes eating something with a rough pasty feeling in the mouth that is not like pudding. not everyone likes the idea of eating liver. and not everyone can get pass the making process of pate ("mmmm... nothing says yum like pureed liver!" hahaha!) or that expensive french version with the force feed gooses. sweatdrop

lol... maybe... a shy-hug? lol.

oh buddha... i wouldn't be able to sleep if i know he is staring back. my ceilings are high... i can't reach it. lol. i wouldn't open posters inside a car... i'm scared it would block the view of the driver. they are so huge.

nice. oooo... sounds like every other city after 2PM. lol. i'm dying from traffic at 2PM too. :XP: lol.

lol... nice. i'm looking for a HK (hong kong) guy that can speak good english to boot. :XP: lol. makes it easier for me and my family to communicate with him. hahaha! but if i were to date a Japanese guy... i just need him to know English, and it would be a dream if he could know the tiniest amount of either Chinese dialect: Mandarin or Cantonese. i would love him to death if he knows Cantonese especially. hahaha! but that's a dream. hahaha.

i forget things too easily. i'm starting to question myself.

mmmm... liver. it is actually pretty good in soup. but uh... of course, can't take my word for it. i grew up eating these kinda stuff, so nothing is too weird for me. :XP: lol.

kehe. out of random... i heard Ruki sleeps on a sofa bed. i read that somewhere... thought i try to confirm it. cuz i slept on a sofa bed before, not bad, but buddha i wanted to die the next morning after doing that for about a month. it was for a ski trip, all the real beds were taken. :XP:

oh me too. right now, because my room is going to be remodeled... the walls are bear. it is just a bed, blinds, and two tables. since my room has pure white walls, when the moonlight or night sky hits the walls and casts a dim but visable shadow on the wall... my mind wanders. i keep thinking that there is something or someone at the corner of my room. dark, shadowy... almost grudge-like but not quite. i scare myself too much. when my room is done, i'm going to throw a giant teddy bear there just to ease myself from thinking... and may be sorbet orange walls will keep me from thinking about horror films. hahaha. i haven't watched the Apartment. don't think i ever will. one thing about Japanese horror films is that they like to creep into your psyche. you know it is all fake, but they like to use huge visuals and sounds, and/or use methods of horror that is in a way can happen or is a possibility of happening. of course, this doesn't apply to ghost films. just their slashers. :XP: lol.

i know it is most hell during the weekdays, after work hours of 5PM. whee

lol. don't set your standards too high, or it will never happen. some how, a few guys has told me that i have too high standards. hahaha.

i kinda did too. but i don't eat potatoes, rice or bread much. but i don't really count my type of food as country. i would say... almost more like street eating. a bowl of wonton or cha shiu ramen to-go, eat as i walk. lol. yum. or a simple plate of takoyaki will do. done! lol.

yeah. i think. could be a futon that doubles as a couch too. something like that.

my room is actually a patio converted into a room. hahaha! i have a two-way entrance/exit, and half a closet. lol!!!!!!!

is it Korean? never knew that. hahaha. but as for the horror film concept is a general thing that applies to many a-Asian films.

lol. mine some times are too. but i can lower it a bit to make it easier for me to have a wider range of guys to pick from.

pasta is my love and death. (almost like Ruki. kehe). ummm... if you guys have a Japanese supermarket call "Nijiya Market", they stock everything Japanese. i know there are micorwave takoyaki, and they sell it there.

uh, 98% of the time i skip breakfast. and when i do eat it, i tend to eat things like Cheese Nips. sweatdrop lol.

i can sleep anywhere... even on a train ride to work. hahaha! but i think the most worse sleep i've ever gotten in my life was at my friend's house for Fanime. i gave my cousin her roommate's bed, gave my friend the aerobed (but she complained of a bad sleep too)... so i took the horribly small and hard two-person couch. it sucked... i think i had an overall less than 5 hour sleep. i know i was half awake for most of that night.

it's not bad... but almost right on top of me is the skylight. so freakishly early morning... i'm up. i'm planning to get my mom to get my old princess bed frame back up, cuz it has a canopy. it should be able to block the light. hahaha!

ummmm... never knew that. but i do know that when America license for overseas Asia film, they hella tone it down. so like... Grudge and the Ring was suppose to be super scary if you watch the original version. the American version was toned down. from what my brother told me, he watched the original (i didn't cuz i'm too paranoid after the American version)... he told me that the hospital scene from the Grudge... the ghost lady was suppose to crawl out of a pregnancy woman while she was giving birth. too graphic, sorry.... sorry if it grossed you out... that was how toned down it was. cuz it was completely cut out from the American version. then when America makes scary movies... it is just bloody and gross. Asian horror films, i think it tends to gets to sink into your psyche. but i stopped watching horror films cuz i like to sleep at night... even though i love them.

i want a BF. but i'm always so damn busy. it sucks.

love pasta. don't like rice. wonton noodle soup over a bowl of fried rice any day. great... now i'm hungry for some noodle soup. stare yeah... check it out. they should have chains. i know there are a few in Cali. Although i dislike shopping in Ichi Ban Khan... but that place is okay. i don't recommend buying food there though... i just don't trust it. no refrigeration... cuz i saw boxes of miso, and i know miso should be fridge at all cost. of course... i can't stop anyone. that's just my take. ummm... maybe they have a website? check it out.

uhhhh... most of the time when i'm on vacations... if i have any at home... i tend to make a small bowl of instant miso soup for breakfast or lunch, and that's my day till dinner. have a bit more time, i grab like a few crackers to munch on the way to work. oh... food mooching is fun. it is like a habit/tradition between me and my friends. i like to let my lunch be mooched especially when my friend didn't bring lunch or is too tight on time between classes to get lunch. other than that... everyone's bags of chips are mooch-able by everyone. hahaha!

... I am so sorry. x'DDDD

Gah... it's like I suddenly forgot what Uruha's hair looked like... D: So forgive any errors... and worship my terrible duck drawing skills. C:

@ Chibi: okay... seriously... i screamed "HOLY s**t!!!!!!" with one of these expressions... eek . lol! but then i saw the duck and then i was like "this duck... looks very nonchalant about being chucked into a blender to become bread/cracker spread." confused lol. and i like how Reita has the almost same expression as the duck. hahaha! thanks for the art. it made my days. hahaha!

@ GrinniE: i was thinking about getting a futon... it would actually increase the space in my room. cuz i'm thinking a futon would be kinda small. but i love my bed. *hugs it*

as much as i love horror films... i too like psyche sinkers, cuz it makes a lasting impression. gore movies just gives me the hibbie jibbies with no exercise to the brain.

don't worry. he's out there... somewhere... over the rainbow... where blue birds fly. no but really... i'm saying he's out there... just give both of ya some time to let paths cross. (^-^)

i can't eat for weeks if i finish off bowls of pasta... primarily the Italian version. oh, so heavy. oh... i do the sharking around the kitchen thing too. especially after work where i'm super hungry. kehe.

kehe... girls tend to do it more often than guys. i haven't really found a guy that enjoys community luncheons. well... guys here likes to eat gianormous servings to feel full. all it takes for a girl, is like half a deli sub and a drink. for a guy is like one big one with a side of chips and a soda. oh... when winter rolls around... i need to break my No Rice rule (cuz i seriously need carbs during winter to stay warm... learned that through the hard way). i want to make those Japanese rice balls (the name escapes me at the moment). my friend made some for me during Fanime, and it was delicious. (^-^)

@Grinnie - Ruki IS an insane thirteen-year-old... deep down inside and you know it. xDD
*huggles back* >w< ILU too.
Ah! Sure thing! If you ever color it show it to me please! <3

@peachie - LMAO! Yeah the duck doesn't know what's going on, so it doesn't mind being held in the air by Ruki... for the moment being. xD And Reita doesn't know what's going on either, hence the similar expression.

... and sorry for not being here anymore. :C I just don't have time to stop by... I should have never opened an art shop. *is overloaded with commissions*
