it's just the next step ;

HI! SO YOU WANT TO BE FRIENDS? :D
That's cool. There's only three things you need to know.

1) I love Masuda Takahisa.
2) I love Taguchi Junnosuke.
3) I hopelessly adore and love all of Fueled by Ramen, but my biases are Cobra Starship and Fall Out Boy.

If you can handle all of that, and the fact that I talk about them a lot and basically love them with every fiber of my being, then by all means, friend away! :D If not, then I don't think this would necessarily be a good idea.

You don't have to leave a comment or anything; while they're appreciated so I don't keep you hanging, I usually friend everyone back, so long as you have a sense of humor and common interests with me. Please do not friend me because I upload and share DVD's on my journal. Just leave a comment on the post, and you're golden! (:

Thanks for stopping by! ♥

I really should have done this ages ago, but always knew that it would be A LOT OF WORK. And it has been. It's been 323 pictures uploaded (I didn't even post them all -- these are the ones I weeded out to use), 11 Youtube videos, and 18 fic recommendations, and so with no further delay, I present to you:

the TAGUCHI JUNNOSUKE quasi-pimp post -- part uno

WARNING: THIS HAS BECOME THE DEFINITION OF IMAGE HEAVY.

tegomass first live tour 2009:
tegomass no uta

download links for the full concert, encore + documentary, & pamphlet scans.
videos are in 720 x 400 format ; pamphlet scanned at 300 dpi.
previews are resized.



in general? i thought this concert was fantastic. it might not be as glamorous and glitzy as some of the other concerts we're used to (arashi and kat-tun, i'm looking at you!) but tegomass isn't about the glitz and the glam anyway, and that feeling comes across so well in this concert. it's basically an opportunity for them to really shine and bask in their talents, with a dash of adorable overload on the side. even the mc's -- which, admittedly, were a little awkward because neither are good at that sort of thing -- brought across their respective charms really well! all in all, i loved this. i think you will too!

THAT BEING ALL SAID AND DONE, I AM NOW GOING TO TRY AND READ 8 CHAPTERS OF PRIDE AND PREJUDICE BEFORE I PASS OUT. goodnight kiddies. ♥ i'll hopefully have time to update about life within the next few days!

i wonder why i always seem to get along better with guys than girls.

take my japanese class for example. there's a pretty even split of guys and girls in the class, but none of the girls ever talk to me (discounting crazy inuyasha girl, since it depends on when she actually decides to show up or not) -- i'm okay with this, really, because i'm used to it, and for as long as i can remember, it's always been easier for me to talk to boys rather than girls. so, naturally, i've struck up friendships with the dudes in my class. again, i'm okay with this. the guys are less stuck up, they do stupid things like name our fake dialogue store the "drunken song karaoke", and we learn new vocab by working together to figure out how to say the most ridiculous things. there's always more laughing coming from our side. it's kind of strange.

idk. from my point of view, tbh, guys are just less maintenance to keep as friends, nor do they ever expect to see you every single day in order to consider you a good friend of theirs. mike and i can go whole semesters without seeing each other and when we finally do meet up again during the winter/summer breaks, it's like nothing's changed. it's not like we went four, five months without seeing each other at all. chris and i are the exact same way; we've fell into this cycle of one of us going to visit one another, not talking for a few months, find a day to spend 3 hours on the phone, and then don't talk again until we decide it's time to visit again. even avi or frouz, who both pester me constantly on the phone/facebook to hang out, when i only knew avi because of liz, and frouz from high school, who i've only seen once since we graduated. now that i really think about it, the only people i would ever divulge EVERYTHING to break down to something like 4/5 guys and 1 girl.

idgi! maybe i have a natural female repellent. i think i'm okay with that. idk, lately i've been feeling like a lot of the girls in my life are kind of flaky and...not to be trusted? and i'm well aware that i probably seem the same way to others. i have been actively working on it, though, because i'm almost positive that a lot of it has to do with my old friends, which I KNOW, is such a pain to bring up whenever i'm having ~social issues~ but idk about you, it's kind of hard to walk away unscathed from 8/9 years of friendship crashing and burning in front of your eyes. all caused by petty girls. girls are kind of the worst. ever.

lastly, i'd just like to say, WOOOOOO, surprise, you guys! i'm a human being with emotions instead of Another Crazy Bitch who snaps at people for, oh, NO APPARENT REASON AT ALL!! let me dazzle you with my tears!

last night, i managed to sway taysqueak to the dark side, that is, a certain smiley king who's obsessed with food. extremely image heavy. huge pictures forthwith, because i'm too lazy to manually resize every single one in photobucket.

the MASSU picspam


because i'd take cute and giggly over dead fish eyes anyday.


( what's for dinner tonight? i want a pumpkin! )

( BONUS! my favorite news mv's! )

with that -- I HOPE YOU'VE ALL LEARNED SOMETHING. idk what it is, but um, you know. i uploaded 160 pictures to photobucket, i was clearly dedicated to the cause. D:
