Yeah, really.
Apr. 19th, 2012 12:58 amSo, today I started doing something that I've been thinking about doing for a long time now. A reaally long time. For about three years now? Or more like two perhaps. Yeah, not from when I got into Arashi, but from when I had started to learn more japanese.
What? Oho. Ho. Ho Ho. Somehow I seem to be trying to hold up a dignified aura about it (which both amuses me and irks me at the same time). Well, I've started subbing. Only for private purposes of course, so it's regrettably only in swedish (though I would definitely not have a problem with english).
The reason is that I used to watch Arashi stuff with my brothers, but now - when I have no problems with finding raws and understanding what they're saying - I'm getting bored of watching it alone. Plus, my brothers thinks it's kind of boring too. Not being able to understand what they're saying or keep up with me and all that, when I've already seen a lot of the stuff when the subs are out.
Oh wait, that was before I got bored of it, now I try to wait. Paitently. Paitently with a slight urge of wanting to spoil it all by watching the shows anyway.
But I've always had a rule (that I follow more or less) to wait for subtitles for dramas. Since they're a bit more serious than regular variety programs, if you get what I mean. Miss a line in a regular program - rewind without ruining it, miss a line in a drama - disaster. Dramas and movies usually contain more complicated language too, like all that old speech in history dramas, or Ohno's technobabble in Kagi no kakatta Heya.
Ah, but sometimes you just want to watch an old drama like Ichiban Chikai Otoko II, Netsuretsu Teki Chuuka Hanten, etc., which nobody has made subtitles for. In those case I obviously have to make exceptions.
Anyway... No, that's all. I think I'm going to sleep now. Have to get up in the morning to continue with the subtitles. (((( ~ .~) ♪

It's a trap.
Aug. 18th, 2011 09:32 pmProcrastination. S'my life ;D or well, not so much procrastination as it's to not feel like... doing anything xD
Which is the reason I started thinking that I've gotten out of the whole teenage-thing though, since I was so frickin' stressed out all the time back then, feeling the need to fill up every second with something. Now I'm able to sit almost a whole day without doing anything and still be calm about it. To sum it up: teenager = restless procrastinator, post teenager = calm don't-have-anything-special-to-do-anyway procrastinator.
Woah, this entry almost became my current life story. I thought I should write something nice since it's been a while, but now I'm feeling all philosophical. I'm just too sleepy to write something coherent right now I guess -_____-
Anyway~ ♫
Since I forgot about the original content of this entry, as usual xD, I'll share a bit about my everyday life :D:D
Yesterday night... I slept in a childrens tent in the middle of my room! (>o< )b Pure win, I know. *bricked*
After only half an hour of staring into the tent yesterday night - Before going to sleep I found a spider and silently freaked out about it xD Really, even though it wasn't even in the tent and, me living in Sweden, it was only about the size of a big grain of rice.With legs O.o. I still freaked out though, lol - I slept like a log. Or not. Instead the result was a mild headache caused by the kind of hard floor (I only had a couple of thick blankets as a matress) and spending half of the night rolled up in a ball before kicking open the door, leaving part of my legs outside when I lay straight.
Ah youth ♥
Now I only need someone to have a water fight with to complete my summer (~.~)

My summer vacation has started~~ and the weather has become frickin' hot again \(>.< ))
Finished my last exam last wednesday :D :D and the day after I submitted the final essay we had to do :D :D
...which of course meant that I've spent the days after that until now doing nothing xD Ah~ really, somehow I don't know what to do when I don't have my japanese schoolwork to be worried over anymore~
A~nd, my birthday is in two days~
This time I'm turning twent~y. Even though I'm like this, I'm still young~ ;D
I'll think I'll go watch some Arashi no Shukudai or something now~
Bye Bye~

I started calling my gym teacher "The Man" (though this was actually in swedish, so "Mannen") because I could never remember his name, and since my classmates thought it was funny they started to do the same.
In the end, when I finally had learnt to remember his name, he reacted more to "The Man" than his real name xD
