My nightlife has taken a huge blow.

[dvampyrlestat]

And by "nightlife", I meant spending hours online, flailing over Arashi, playing FB games, and subbing. Starting tonight, my night classes in Grad School begins. So... four days out of five in a week, I'd be working my regular eight-to-five, then classes from 5:30 to 9:30.

Hmm. Sleep is overrated. SLEEP IS FOR THE WEAK~

Will do two today coz I slacked.

30-Day Arashi Challenge

day 16 - A Nino picture you can’t take your eyes off

 Currently? This one:



Don't get me wrong. As much as I adore seeing these personifications of rainbow and sparkles all glammed up in pastels and bright splashy feel-good colors, something always happens when they go dark and mysterious. There's an explanation for it. But Chemistry (or Alchemy) were never my favorite subjects.


day 17 - The first Arashi-related drama you thought of the moment you read this



Ad nauseam.

MAOU.

For so many reasons, reasons that I won't bother enumerating because I would only be repeating myself. :)

oooooooo fierce yummy looking nino!~ he was one of the main reasons i bought that issue of wu XD hehe. and for me to buy regular idol mags needs alot of effort on telling myself its worth it XD so yesss agree on that picture~~~ and maou~! oh can u take over my fb games so that i don need to come back check every hour making cupcakes *bricks self* XD LOL. GOOD LUCK for grad school~ i hope urs will be more fun than mine and gah i hope urs have less deadlines n less hectic.

:D:D

[dvampyrlestat.livejournal.com]

I find it hard to believe you saying that buying regular idol mags needs a lot of effort on your part. Aren't you a master already!?

LMAO! Tsk. I tried Baking Life, and wanted to continue, but thought about the upcoming grueling classes and just. stopped. I'm only going to do Farmville, Treasure Isle (good anger management, I found) and Hotel City. Mwahahaha.

I'll try my damnedest to have fun with it. If odds are stacked against me, I can always sleepwalk through the whole thing.

[supahkul.livejournal.com]

haha to which grad school are you going?

[dvampyrlestat.livejournal.com]

Masters in... geekiness. Saying it out loud pretty much makes me sound much geekier than I already am...

[fecundeety.livejournal.com]

OH NO! the question is, when are you going to GRADUATE? lmao lmao

YEAH. SLEEP IS FOR THE WEAK. Sleep is for the we-
ah, too weak to ignore sleep. :\
Zzzzz.. orz

I like the way you commented about nino's shot, it just sexifies him by 50 times.

[dvampyrlestat.livejournal.com]

If I take full load courses for these three semesters (which means 4 hours everyday after work), I ought to finish it in a year. If not... more than? I'd hate to spend more than I should on it, though....

WEAK. YOU SOFTIE.

Sexify. I like that word. *adds to rainbow vocab*

[hybrid-hallow.livejournal.com]

Good luck with school! Right now I can hardly wait for mine to end..
But I agree, sleep is a waste of time!! D:

A (temporary) difference/change than what we usually see is always welcomed and sometimes hotter.
I mean, the other answer just proves it ♥

[dvampyrlestat.livejournal.com]

When does yours end? What's your Grad Project?

*channels Bon Jovi* ♫ I'll sleep when I'm dead~

RIGHT? I love it when they sometimes break out of the mold.

[change417.livejournal.com]

Ohh. You're going to grad school? What are you studying?^^ I just graduated & I'm thinking of doing some post-grad course or something~

Maou Maou Maou~ I love his Maou hair<333 I was re-watching AnS & I love those eps with Ohno in Maou hair *___* I just stare at him & kinda... ignore the content of the show xD Haha.

[dvampyrlestat.livejournal.com]

Masters in Geekiness!! Woohoo. I've been putting it off for too long already. And... for purposes of career advancement, I found myself backed into a corner. I'd much rather chosen a different course, but I've no choice. I guess when I am done with this (in at least a year), I can weigh my options and see if I still want to pursue it.

You are so thirsty for learning! *TWO THUMBS UP*

Haha. Maou Hair. WHO CARES WHAT'S GOING ON, IT'S MAOU!!

[yah-senbest.livejournal.com]

b,but i LOVE sleeping. it's my favourite pastime activity 3_3

speaking about colours;
if you mix all the rainbow colours, you'd get blackish dark colour. but if you mix coloured light rays you get white light.
which explains why our sparkly rainbow boys look good in white and black XDD

anyhoo. good luck for your grad school ^^

[dvampyrlestat.livejournal.com]

Then you, my friend, are one of the weakest.
LMAO. J/K!!!

Yeah? I never knew that about the white light. Interesting...

Thank you!

[maniesa.livejournal.com]

im such a 'hair' person.. i love nino's photo shoot with his latest butai hair.. that was just... aaaaa....

arashi drama?? u kidding right??? how can it not be MAOU!!!

MAOUUU!! MAOUUU !! MAOUUU!! (chant it like how they did during the 1st kokuritsu concert...) aaaauuwwwwwww!!!

[dvampyrlestat.livejournal.com]

arashi drama?? u kidding right??? how can it not be MAOU!!!


PRECISELY. HOW CAN IT NOT BE!?

[justyohannan.livejournal.com]

Oh wow...best of luck with your classes!
Ah, someone on my flist actually used this picture recently...I chose a different picture for this day (which I did today, actually LOL)
I prefer dark and mysterious photoshoots too ^^

Yay for Maou!! 8D

[dvampyrlestat.livejournal.com]

Thank you, dear~ Just looking at the hours involved, I'd need all the luck I can get.

YAY FOR NARUSE!!!

[livinbyfaith01.livejournal.com]

I first thought of Hana Yori Dango!! That's like the first drama I ever watched before anything else...I was so anti live action dramas...now I can't stop and have watched almost every drama the boys have ever made that are interesting!

[dvampyrlestat.livejournal.com]

HYD was the second thing I thought of. :) Oh well, the Devil's pull is stronger than a mere DoS's.

[all4cyanide.livejournal.com]

I always thought those pants did pretty good justice to Nino's crotch area. It makes me happy at least. XDD I agree about when they go dark b/c that's when it's really okay to fantasize the way we do about them. I kid, I kid. However, the only time I ever find Ohno attractive is when he takes those dark pics. IDK why. Must have something to do with his grin. I can't find it appealing like you do. :P

[dvampyrlestat.livejournal.com]

I'm just glad they didn't pair ubertight pants with that jacket. I just don't think it'd mesh as beautifully.

LOL. Well, I pretty much love everything about Ohno, yes, even that single skewed tooth that goes faaaaar back.

[becky-49.livejournal.com]

Good luck with grad school! That schedule of yours looks hectic. I barely survived taking Japanese classes 2 nights a week while working full-time. And that was for fun.

Maou. I love that drama. And his hair. I want Maou hair back!

[dvampyrlestat.livejournal.com]

I'm trying to take my mind off the schedule. I gave myself a couple of days to rant and rave about it, let all my frustrations out, then just get with it. Not sure if it'll work, though. LOL.

I hope he gets another drama after Kaibutsu, a serious one. It'd probably kill him, but....

[charlieraven.livejournal.com]

i'm weak. i love sleep :)
I totally get how hard it is to be working full time and studying at night.
I was doing that last year and it's not easy. Some of my friends were understanding while others are not. You gotta hang in there and like my brother said "Suck it up." ;)

[dvampyrlestat.livejournal.com]

You're one of the sane ones, then.

I had this same schedule circa 2005-2006... before I discovered the joys of rainbows and sparkles. That's what'll make this time around hard. Because I already know there are rainbows and sparkles and I wanna be there but I've to spend some hours away from it....*sigh*

[loissama.livejournal.com]

Oh, you're studying again? I'm impressed. If it were me, I don' think I can handle both work and school at the same time. I'll be asleep when the lecturers giving me the lecture. So I'm gonna say, Ganbare!!

Of course it's Maou! What else? It's our leader's first lead in a drama! We have to support him and also that HAIR! That figures too even he's quite skinny but I like it. For My Girl, although it's Aiba's first lead but for me, definitely Maou. I don't feel the same excitement as with Maou.

[dvampyrlestat.livejournal.com]

I have to. "Career advancement" rubbish. I had this same schedule around 2005-2006, and I guess I handled it well back then coz... I still had not discovered the joys of rainbows and sparkles.... XDD
THANK YOU!!!

Haha! WHAT ELSE, indeed!

[sunnydreams416.livejournal.com]

Good luck with your night classes! Sleep is for the weak indeed... at least that's what I'm telling myself this week to get through finals!

Arashi dark and mysterious sounds like an oxymoron but it's so brain-meltingly hot, who cares.

Case in point, Maou. XD

[dvampyrlestat.livejournal.com]

Thanks!!! So, how're you coping with your sleepless finals week??

[abi-chan92.livejournal.com]

Yup...dark semi emo Arashi always a good thing haha

And you're so right... sleep is for the weak! I'm starting uni after a 6 months after graduating high school and I'm gonna die trying to balance classes/study and 25 hours of work a week. But I need my Arashi & random time wasters sooo much... T-T need to go back to the 3/4 hour sleeps i had when i was in school lol

[dvampyrlestat.livejournal.com]

Trust me, in a grueling sched such as ours, Arashi will probably be one of the few things that will keep us sane. Let us not let go of it!!!

[hemisofia.livejournal.com]

How was your first day? :D
I knew you know more than all of 'em, the professor included!

AND SLEEP IS FOR THE WEAK ARRRRR!

[dvampyrlestat.livejournal.com]

Booboo. LOL!!! Funny one, though. I crack up whenever I thnk of how I waited and waited in one side when the whole time, there was another door open on the other side. WAHEY. I fail at life.

And they made us choose which topic to cover and report/present on, and I chose one, but nuuuuuuuuuu, prof said that since I am a CPA and with my experience I should get the toughest one. SO MUCH FOR CHOICE. I'm reporting on this and that's that, NO ARGUMENTS. *kicks something*

I know only two of them. Coz we happened to go to Uni together. XDD The prof? Never heard of him, seems nice and approachable, tho. I just would like to pick his brains and argue about the meaning of CHOICE.

ARE YOU WEAK.

[seiret.livejournal.com]

Sleep is overrated. SLEEP IS FOR THE WEAK~

I used to believe the same thing. Until I had to spend thousands on meds for all the diseases stress brought me. D: Friendly advice: watch your health.

And I agree, Nino looks fab in that outfit. :)

[dvampyrlestat.livejournal.com]

I simply say those two sentences to myself... know what they say about keeeping on telling yourself something until you actually believe it? LOL. Bad self-advice, I know. Oh, and I will, thanks!!!

How're the preps going?? You ready to take Japan by storm???

[ariange]

Good luck with school!

The last Nino pic I remember staring for way longer than I should was this one, somehow...I don't even know why. I also love many of the pictures done for "It" in More magazine~

[dvampyrlestat.livejournal.com]

I say it again. Nino does emo best~

[elliecullen17.livejournal.com]

Ugh, school & work : ( I know how that feels, but that's awesome that you're already a Grad Student, I still need some time to get there : D But it's all worth it in the end, at least that's what I keep telling myself LOL! thx for sharing that nino pic, it was so cool!

[dvampyrlestat.livejournal.com]

LOL. You'll get there soon! I never really did appreciate it before when they said that the learning process never stops. Now I fully understand it. :)

[ennui-rei.livejournal.com]

"Sleep is overrated. Sleep is for the WEAK"--> that should be my motto in law school. yet there's still the beautiful distraction called fangirling over arashi that must be restrained a bit.
