dvampyrlestatSara peered over his shoulder.
"What is that?" she asked, pointing at the first one on the tabletop.
"A saucepan," was his automatic reply.
"And that one?"
"A skillet."
"And this?"
"A double boiler." Sho frowned, turning to look at Sara. She wasn't playing with him, was she?
But she was nodding, thoughtfully peering at the utensils.
"You don't know what they are?" he asked, incredulous.
She leaned her head to one side, then shrugged. "That's why I asked."
"But you're a girl," he pointed out needlessly.
"Are all girls supposed to be born with kitchen knowledge?"
He didn't know what to say to that, so he just shook his head, still disbelieving.
"So," she said, "can you cook?"
He snorted. He could think of many ways to answer that question. "Yeah, I cook."
"Are you any good?"
Warily, he looked at her. She's being serious!
"That depends," he said slowly. "Have you watched any of our shows?"
Sara blinked. "Arashi has a cooking show?"
"No, no, no," he said quickly. "I meant, have you seen any of our shows where we did some cooking?"
"No. Not really," came her quick reply.
"How 'not really' is 'not real-"
"Never."
He breathed, half in relief and half in disappointment. More in relief, really.
"Well, in that case, yes. I am a pretty good cook."

I'm actually just here to ask for, uhm, holiday ideas. Lolz. I am putting this out there.
Who wants to get Christmas postcards or Christmas cards? Nothing swanky, nothing spectacular (coz I'm not an artist, unlike someone we know), just simple Christmas greetings on a card. :) Well, if you are, give me the following details:
Your name/nickname or what you want me to call you:
Your complete mailing address:
Major fandom you belong to and your favorite (not necessarily Arashi):
Note that this is NOT an assurance that I will actually be able to send something to you. You know, RL might assert itself way too late, BUT I WILL TRY MY DAMNEDEST. Not just my hardest, but my damnedest.
You can leave the info on the comments (I won't screen, though, sorry). Or if you are not comfortable with that, email to me: dvampyrlestat @ gmail . com.
Oh, it'd also help if you answer this question:
"What makes (or will make) this particular Christmas different or special??"

Hm..well for one my brother for the first time in twenty years will not be here with us this Christmas (long story, don't want to get into it) and second of all it's my first x-mas with Arashi which is lame I know but hey, makes me happy! ^_______6
no subject
Date: 2008-11-15 12:17 pm (UTC)Oh, ok. :) That sounds sad, though. :)
AND THAT IS NOT LAME AT ALL!! Technically my first Christmas with Arashi would be last year's, but it was kinda quiet....unlike now, what with all that's happened. XDD I want Santa to be nice to me and fill my stockings with five gorgeous Japanese boys. XD
no subject
Date: 2008-11-16 03:50 am (UTC)Greedy much??!! One should be enough for you!! You could at least share one with me...*cough* Nino *cough* :< LOL!
Sad...yeah it is. He'll come by and visit he said, but he won't be staying around or anything. It'll be the first time ever I wake up x-mas morning without my bro there. :/ Oh well, such is life.
Oh crap. I just realized I didn't include my major fandom and whatnot in my PM to you... o.o It's so obvious tho isn't it?
no subject
Date: 2008-11-16 05:38 am (UTC)And it's the season for sharing, so I wouldn't mind sharing much. :)
Hmm. I guess changes are inevitable, eh? Let's only hope that it's all for the best. And that you still both get to have a good Christmas. :)
....err...i dunno. your major fandom would be....uhm......doraemon....? ....?
LOL. Thanks for the PM! PMed you back. :)
no subject
Date: 2008-11-16 02:56 pm (UTC)SHARING IS CARING!!! lol I dunno if I could be so generous when it comes to them tho. You are a class act.

Date: 2008-11-15 12:22 pm (UTC)Surname sharing is the best...depending on the surname, no????? XDDD
no subject

no subject
Date: 2008-11-16 05:42 am (UTC)Ninomiya, mwahahahaha! just for kicks. If I did use that surname, it'd still get to you, right? RIGHT????
no subject

Date: 2008-11-16 03:40 am (UTC)no subject
Date: 2008-11-15 10:59 am (UTC)Your name/nickname or what you want me to call you
Your complete mailing address
Major fandom you belong to and your favorite (not necessarily Arashi)
I don't think I need to answer any of the questions above right? :p You definitely know the first two... If you don't know the third... Something must be wrong with you! :p Hahahaha. We like the same things about that almost-30-but-look-like-a-kid guy, with chubby cheeks & beautiful hands, who has a great voice &... *goes on & on* XD
And I am going to send you something too!!! That's why I said (in my hiatus post) I was going to ask for your address after my exams! :D You can just send me your address anytime:) PM or email, both is fine! Unless you want me to send the stuff to your office :p Hahaha.
As for your last question, I don't think I can give a very good answer^^ Cuz my family don't really celebrate chirstmas^^ But I'll be meeting a LJ friend who is also a Singaporean! for the first time! :D No, in fact 2 friends! We might exchange presents:) So yeah, meeting new friends makes it special this year I guess^_^
no subject
Date: 2008-11-15 12:27 pm (UTC)Ahhh....wow. Thanks! XDD Hmmm.. I don't mind you using my office address. I actually prefer that, since I am mostly at work anyway, so I get to receive them in person, instead of the postal service dropping it off at home when I'm not there. (plus it's an excuse to rub elbows with the looker-of-a-mail-guy, so.)
Oh. That's understandable. I have some friends who don't celebrate Christmas too, in the strictest sense of the word 'celebrate', but they still join in the fun. And indeed, YAY for meeting friends!!!!! And on Christmas too!!
no subject
Date: 2008-11-16 05:13 am (UTC)But I would really like a card too! loool (if you'll have time XD) I also posted an entry with that same project. So I will be extremely happy to send you one too if you're willing to give me your mailing address! :)
And.... mmm making my Christmas special? It's a hard one. I've never really celebrated Christmas in a hardcore way. But I think I would love it to have a real party XD Cause at my house, we don't do much.... lool I'd like to have a memorable one! lool
PS: Ah and I will pm you my address XD
no subject
Date: 2008-11-16 05:44 am (UTC)Yeah, I did see your entry about that. haha! I don't know why I kept stopping my fingers from typing a reply on that one. I was too shy, i guess? XDDDD
A Christmas Party. Cool. Lately the only party I go to are the ones in our office, which is like a tradition, where my role is to take pix of our bosses losing their self-respect and dignity by being kids. A role I don't mind much, coz do you have any idea how much amount of blackmail stuff I manage to gather????? XDDD
no subject
Date: 2008-11-16 06:38 am (UTC)Oooh yeah, I would understand though. XD It's interesting but there's a "meh" kinda feel at the same time, giving your address out and bare all LMAO.
And haha!! What an intriguing responsibility you have! Would you have an idea of what would you blackmail for? XD
no subject
Date: 2008-11-17 05:24 am (UTC)Haha! EXACTLY! (esp as I kinda quit snail mail-ing ages ago)
i dunno....a raise, perhaps??? LOLZ. Or out of pure darkness of my heart when I just wanna get a kick out of seeing others tremble with fear. Yeah. probably the latter.
no subject
Date: 2008-11-17 03:50 am (UTC)When are u sending the postcards? My Arashi Christmas set of postcard might be ready next week... maybe you can use them ne!
IF I ever finish them XDDD
"What makes (or will make) this particular Christmas different or special??"
Trick question... a BIG BOX with the real Sho inside? or maybe Aiba? or Curry-man (Kaname Jun), or all of Arashi!? XDDDDD
How about u?
no subject
Date: 2008-11-17 03:59 am (UTC)Wait, wait. Aren't you moving? Will there be a change of address? Coz if there is, I DEMAND THAT YOU TELL ME. XDD
You'll let me use them??? FORREALZ? Haha!!!
Hmmm.....that's a tall order. Especially Kaname. He's tall. haha! (shucks that was lame)
I don't want to answer that. I'm thinking too much pervy things. Involving hands.
no subject
Date: 2008-11-17 04:15 am (UTC)Yeap, you'll be the first to know as soon as I finish them! :D
BTW... I got a notice from the post office! I have something from Philippines waiting for me! I'M SO EXCITED!!! I'm going to pick it up tomorrow!
Thank you Jhing! BIG HUG! Thank you, thank you!
Eh... yes he's tall! Hahahahaha! XDDDDD
GIVE ME YOUR ANSWER WOMEN! Your answer will affect the outcome of some postcards XDDD
no subject
Date: 2008-11-17 04:41 am (UTC)And why did you instantly assume it was from me, huh????
...seriously though....why'd it take so long!! I sent one to Singapore and the US around the same time and they got it more than a couple of weeks ago!!!!
gawd. you're gonna make me say it huh. really, you're gonna make me say it..ok fine...ohno's hands all over--STOP!
no subject
Date: 2008-11-17 05:07 am (UTC)Don't know... maybe cos is such a long distance? Who knows how long it's been here! I have no idea how efficient is the post office here! They just sent me the notice last Friday, I'll go ask tomorrow about it!
I KNEW IT! go on.. finish the sentence...

It's only in Spanish, but if it has some success I might do one in English! We can talk there about dreams, fantasies, Ohno's hands.. etc... but not only Johnny's.. Japanese guys in general! Hahaha I'm such a perv! XDDD
