again, i'm still alive :D
Dec. 17th, 2008 12:40 amFirst of all, I'm so sorry flist for not being here for five days straight. m(_ _)m
To be honest, I have not checked anything here since Friday, so I have no idea what's going on in the fandom now. For that I really am sorry. I'll be the good LJ friend I used to be in the next few days, just let me catch up again. Please? *puppy dog eyes*
Let's just say that I have not slept well during the weekend, because I had a last term requirement I should have done (or at least started) a few days before so that I didn't have to procrastinate. Guess what, I did, and I only had a 45-minute sleep (and my dad *still* doesn't know about it. Oops). I did have a good sleep last Monday, and I think I slept the entire afternoon up until nine or something. Okay, enough babbling. Updates!
- I'm ashamed to admit that I haven't caught up with the fandom, so I'll start with my friends' journals, then the comms, and work my way backwards. I missed you guys! *squishes flist*
- I... haven't started on the cards yet. *hides* I kind of promised I would this week, so I'll start tomorrow! :DD
- (Guess I should really work here on my own laptop so I don't miss out on things like this.)
- I've been a YouTube freak right now. Arashi PVs (LOL I became obsessed with Nice na Kokoroiki for some reason XD), SuJu (EBH is awesome), Whose Line (I totally missed this) and well. Oh and I saw Ohno's Uta no Oniisan CM there. Why does he look so hot in black? *___*
And that's the reason I'm not doing anything else. That and playing with my DS. XD
- Doing memes for this post--I can't flail without knowing something to flail about. LOL.

From the meme, like you said you make your own caffeine, but even if you didn't show that you like caffeine very much, I still have a feeling that you do :)
Me? Tea is okay, I could drink tea as much as I want. Colas is still okay, though I preferably avoid drinking cola (I just, well, prefer that :D), but I'm no good with coffee ;___; I don't drink coffee. IDK, something's wrong with me maybe XD I'm plain this way with beverage, I guess XD
no subject
Date: 2008-12-18 11:59 am (UTC)It's fine that you don't like coffee. :) You're normal, lol. It depends on the person, really. And it's good that you avoid drinking colas, it's bad for you! XD
