2013 pt 1 Me in Review
This has been the most chaotic year of my life. Even when I had two toddlers running around like demon spawn I've never felt this kind of upheaval. It's been a good year in so many ways, which is good because the good helps balance all the yuk I've dealt with. But the bad stuff helps us to grow, right? I can definitely look at myself and am able to ( Read more... ) -
CDJapan is ♥
I just got the sweetest e-mail from customer service at CDJapan. I tried to pre-order Tsuyoshi's Shamanippon - Roinochinoi (the bundle set because I'm all about the t-shirt) and for some reason my bank flagged the order. The first thing I love about CDJapan is that they hold your order while they try to run the card again; they hold it for at least ( Read more... ) -
First Semester Down!
Well, finals week is finally over and I'm done until 13 January. This has been such an amazing few months, I feel like I've taken back a tiny part of my life and finally am heading in a direction I'm satisfied with. The best part? I had such a blast in my Psych classes. I feel like I've found my "home". The other best part? 4.0 GPA my first term ( Read more... ) -
It's aliiiiiive
Just a quick note to say I'm still alive but life's just gotten so busy. My first term back at college has been so many things...amazing, fun, challenging and stressful. Mostly it's taking all my extra time. I'm making full marks (so far!) but I'm putting the work into it. I couldn't be more positive that Psychology is a good match for me. I've ( Read more... ) -
Kimuchi no kimochi
With the warm weather and so many veggies, I've been doing some pickling. While I can't eat kimuchi/kimchi every day, my husband and son can so I make it a lot. I learned the basic recipe from my Korean friend, (I'll call her) Ruth, and veganized it ( Read more... ) -
More fandom babbling
Just saw the PV for JUMP's Come on A My House and died from the cuteness. I don't remember seeing a lot of HSJ videos that made a huge impression on me...I liked ありがとう ~ that was the first time I was able to look at them and think "okay, these guys are pretty cool, they really will be a great future"...and Over was okay. Super Delicate, while one ( Read more... ) -
It's life
Lately just trying to keep my head above water. The Husband has been having a lot of problems, it's taking a lot to keep things steady there. I keep hoping therapy will help but it's taking so long ( Read more... ) -
TOKIO is my motor!
You may remember that one of my goals this year was to give TOKIO a chance. And I have been growing in the fandom.
As a KinKi fan, I always have thought Tomoya-baby is hysterical and I couldn't help but laugh at the craziness of TOKIO on shows like TokiKin. But still, they never really became a group I could say I was a solid fan of. They were too ( Read more... ) -
Got JOY ^-^
Because going broke by giving Johnny-san all my money is the way to go, I've started June off with a few singles. I ordered SMAP's Joy (blue cover) and got a copy of Mistake that I didn't get the first time round ~ with the remix of Battery (already on my Top SMAP songs list). I think I'll be able to justify (ha ha) getting the yellow, green & ( Read more... ) -
CBT
Hmmmm, well, okay I started Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT). It's supposed to help me get rid of the "negative self talk" and help me to be more positive and help the depression. Will it work? I always thought I was a positive person, I always thought I had a lot of positive self talk ( Read more... )
