Rules remain the same, though we do determine which rules are and are not in play for a concert before hand. Sometimes it's renegotiated later, though ^^;

2) I'll PM you my address--we're also listed though, so in a pinch, white pages!

3) I WANT THAT POLISH. I think I'll stalk the site (go look at llarowe, seriously--they just got in a bunch of brazilian holos, too! And they carry A-England, a great Arthurian-themed brand, plus Ozotic!

4) Doesn't that mixer just make you want to bake things while listening to Arashi???

5) I'll definitely OM you the addres <3

6) THE GIFT THAT KEEPS ON GIVING <3 I have only 4-5 months to bait my sister in law and nieces this winter--I intend to make the most of it!!!!!

heheheheheheh!!!

In the doctoggy house, its all the rules all the time yo! :)

yay for addy x 2

it is going on my wishlist. christmas i will be buying the beetlejuice set (well, december, but its all the same) and some of the holos and jellies and things I dont have. (speaking of, i should look at what i have and try and get different colors/textures.

speaking of, in the scandal polished, did you see the matsufab purple stars on the blacktop #5585. It will be mine.

it does make one want to bake. I still think a gingerbread rainbow arashi house would be epic. :)

and it is the gift that keeps on giving. my roomie isn biting, but that is ok. she suffers through it, and lets me squee about the boys (she has even taken to calling them "your boys" so at least i have trained her that well. :) )

Address sent!

Yeah, that polish is pretty awesome! I'm hoping it's back in stock soon, but I guess that's what happens when a fairly major nail polish blog has a post like that. It could ger kind of hard to find ^^;

Saw a great swatch of a Scandal polish today--it was green . . . something--not green ocean, but something like that. Gorgeous!

I didn't notice the matsufab stars, but if I had, I'd likely have wanted them!

Well, I'll see if I can bait Phia, and keep you updated on my progress!

I love your collection! I have some duplicate concert pamphlets from this yr. Do you want one?

And I'd love a christmas card and omg I want to get that glitter gal nail polish too!!! I'm wearing the polishes you sent me btw. Dorothy on black. <3 <3 <3

AND I GOT A SECOND INTERVIEW! YAY! YAY! YAY!

OMG, I would say absolutely yes to a pamphlet--What would you like for it? I can pay you in $$ or polish or cookies ^_~

I love Dorothy! I want to try doing it over black and then matte-fying it--might be a fun Halloween look! In fact, perhaps I shall do that tonight!

And I'm already thinking of card designs--for you, though, I think an Aibamas card is in order ^_^v

If I order that polish, you want I should get a second for you? It'll make me feel better about the shipping, because I think the first hit on the shipping is really steep, but then the shipping/bottle ratio goes down dramatically, so I may be getting several bottles for people for Xmas, anyhow ^_^v.

I just realized I have a mosquito bite on my EYEBROW. DDD: Damn you, TX and your tiny undetectable yet vicious mosquitos DDD: *shakes fist yet again at an uncaring TX*

YAY YAY YAY! HAs the date been set? You know, I have rainbow votive candles I can light for your success:

No! No money or anything is needed. Hehe. I have 3 copies of the pamphlet cause various ppl kept on giving it to me as gifts. (Mama's friend gave me a copy, loser gave me a copy, and my old boss gave me a copy.) I was thinking of giving it to you as a Christmas gift! So really, I'm re-gifting.

Oooo now I want to mattify mine. I love Dorothy! Can't stop staring at it at work yesterday.

Would you? I'll pay you back! I want glitter gal polish pretty badly (the lizard one is to die for!) but I'm just too lazy to order online. Haha.

No not yet but they said they'll get back to me next week! *squeals* Now that my old boss is back in Japan, I only get to do some consulting. :( No producing for me, which makes me a little sad but glad that I won't be pulling 12+hrs days anymore.

Awwwwww . . . Thank you! Re-gifting is awesome. I'll see if I can come up with something fun to send your way, too ^ _^v

Dorothy is fun! Something about the bigger hex glitter really makes it have depth, especially under Seche Vite. I'm so happy I found it at the grocery and thus learned of NYX Girls. Also, NYX just started a new line of another 100+ polishes? I saw that on a blog, but I don't know if they're out yet. Of course, you know, I could check the official website . . .but yeah, another 144 colors, though if they slap the word 'professional' on it, I wonder about pricing . . . ok, looking at the site, the new 'professional' line is 1$ cheaper? Anyhow, they have a color called 'dark glitter' that looks similar to Dorothy, and now I'm curious to compare them . . . shockingly, I'm drawn to the glitters yet again. I'm looking forward to swatches. Their bottle is a bit of an imitation of the Deborah Lippmann bottles, which I saw some tutting over. Interesting move ( ... )

The power of Sho compels you (to drink)! ^^;

We're talking about watching one of the karaoke subbed concerts and having a singalong rather than a drinking game ^^V Though we haven't done it yet ^^;

I will definitely remind you to send me your address--gmail would work if you're worried about Lj's reliability ^_^v

Sounds like you're having fun!!

I know what you mean about the income thing--this was a ind of constant frustration when I was in grad school ^^; But the flip side is that now that we're a two income household, I think we likely indulge overmuch. I put money into retirement and all, but otherwise am somewhat profligate ^^;

oooooh, bracelet charms makes sense! like for a thin bangle or something? Ir a thong-type or friendship-bracelet type thing that the charm could be attached to . . . *ponders*

The candies are just . . . adorable! And tasty--one had broken also I ate it and then contemplated how many I was really going to display . . .

Oh! here are some pics of the Arthurian polishes, and the last link comes with an adorable picture of a kitten thrown in&hearts ( ... )

I am in AWE of your shrine. -pays homage-

So lucky that you got a lot of stuff but I am assuming you were in the fandom for awhile. I just started this year. But it also means you've invested a lot. Wow.

Demmit,when I get a job, I already have like a long list of stuff to want. The jewelry! ack!

And the stand! Holy ka moly!

Plus the rainbow nail polish! If I get the chance to get a job that doesn't involve my fingers getting dirty, I'll probably start painting my nails.

This was an awesome post! (A fangirl can hope to emulate!)

This weekend we're going to a free lunch at a seafood place then off to a football game.

I want an Arashi xmas card!

If you'd like an Arashi card, just PM me your address ^_^v I'll try to start working on them pretty quickly ^_^v

I guess I've been a fan for . . . almost 5 years, I think? It also helps having a salary, now that I'm out of grad school . . . and being able to shop the stores that carried pre-owned idol stuff when I was in Japan helped a lot.

We found the standee ad at a Mandarke store in Osaka! The Boy saw it and immediately began plotting. You should have seen the looks on the staffs' faces when we asked about how to ship it home or to transport it ^^; I

I love painting my nails, though it is time consuming. Right now, I'm trying to decide what I'll do for my nails for tomorrow . . . I want to do Halloween-ish things, but things that will look ok with my work clothes--and I don't do nail art, so it's pretty much just about what color and finish I want to do . . .

oooooh free lunch \o/ And football! Sounds fun!!
