Hello from the 'burbs of Chicago

[violett_crumble]

Hi guys! What up? I'm actually alive and well and living outside Chicago (finally!) Moving was a day (and night, and part of another day) from hell. Whenever I next move, I want to do it like Rachel Zoe did on her show last night: Alonso and I will go off to a luxurious hotel, maybe the Indigo on the Gold Coast, and a team of beautiful gay guys and

Okaerinasai!
I missed you so much!
I'm happy to hear that you moved to your new home, that everybody is fine and that you are happy. >hug<

I actually liked the No.06 anime very much but them, I read the novel so I already knew the story. According to what I've seen in forums, those who hadn't read the novel ended much more unhappy and frustrated than those who read: the anime have a happy ending, compared with the novel. I liked the anime but I think the story was rushed and the complexity of the characters and their relationship wasn't clear.
Oh, and I didn't see the last picture! The version I downloaded doesn't have! Do you have a link?

I'm thrilled that we will have another season of Natsume! It's definitely one of my fav animes. I loved this season and I'm glad we will only have to wait till february (if I'm not mistaken) to watch another season!

I dunno what I'm going to watch next, nothing really called my attention.

The No.6 novel had a sad ending? I have it on my computer... now I don't know if I want to read it! Here's the last pic from the very end of the anime:

I think it depends of the reader view. If the reader was rooting for NezumixShion then yes, it's a very depressive ending.
But if the reader disliked Shion and loved Nezumi is a happy ending.

Oh, so Bones did that. Someone at Bones wanted them together. LOL

I was hoping your silence meant that you were busy moving. :)

As for the skating questions!

A while ago I skimmed some Evan interview (too many motivational phrases for me to read it properly) and from it, I gleaned that he wouldn't do the Grand Prix series unless he was absolutely ready.

I'm very excited about TB in general, so excited that I honestly did look at flights to Paris but as I blew all my money on my Japan trip, I don't have the dough to go to TB but I hope that Adam, Brian, Florent and Oda will skate all over PChiddy.

I can't wait to see Yuzuru compete in general. I have loved the videos I've seen from his performances in the summer shows. Those high jumps of his are so awesome.

I don't think you are unpatriotic if you want to see Daisha Fierce win SA but I thought he was doing Skate Canada and NHK Trophy this year. The other Daisuke (Murakami) is listed for SA though.

And yeah, Johnny's tweets have had me both intrigued and smiling. Happy!Johnny is relevant to my interests. :)

[violett_crumble]

Aw, I guess I didn't read the GP schedule. I see "Daisuke" and Mr. Fierce is all I think of. Well, now I don't have to feel guilty, I guess. ^_^

I'm with you - I think this is Yuzuru's year to shine. Yay.

And yeah, I have to grin reading Johnny's tweets. Especially the one about his Galliano underwear. *snrk*

[martydressler]

OH BOY. SKATING QUERIES.

- do you really think Evan Lysacek is going to two GP events?
*He's got less than three weeks to decide if he'll compete at Skate America. If he does so at the last minute and I spot him at the venue (I'm going), I'm going to be very salty with him. I mean Dead Sea amounts of salty.

- are you excited to see both Brian Joubert and Adam Rippon at Trophy Bompard?
*The mens' lineup for TEB is INSANE. It's going to be a bloodbath.

- can't wait to see Yuzuru Hanyu at Cup of China?
*YUZU!

- am I unpatriotic if I want Daisha Fierce to win Skate America?
*Do you mean Daisuke Murakami? If so, I'll tell him.

- have you been following Johnny's tweets about his new boyfriend? ^_^
*VITYA! I swear this is the season of my beloved male skaters getting some.

[violett_crumble]

YOU TELL THAT BOY. (Although I'm not sure he'll actually be there.)

I'm SO looking forward to seeing Adam and Brian and... is Florent going to be there, too?

Yeah, I realize that I got my Daisuke's wrong, but there's really just one Daisuke for me. <3 (but now I'm wondering if Daisuke Murakami is any relation to Haruki Murakami, a Japanese writer who's really talented.)

Oooh - who else besides Johnny is getting some? Tell, tell.

[martydressler]

I really want to troll him. It will make me & my broken foot happy.

Florent will be there! Here's the mens' TEB lineup: http://www.isuresults.com/events/cat00007542.htm

Idk if Dice Murakami is related.

Bjou has a girlfriend, Stephane has a significant other, Meryl Davis is supposedly dating another ice dance guy...it's the season of getting a piece, I swear. :D

[violett_crumble]

Do we know the gender of Stéphane's "significant other"? ^_~

(and good for BJou! 'bout time that gorgeous body got used for something other than skating.)

[springstermatic]

awwww, dude, I feel your pain... D:
moving out is still making me sleep less - not only because of work and school... D|

I hope you can spend more time with your online friends soon :) you were missed!

[violett_crumble]

From here on I'll be a regular on lj. I missed you, too!

[violett_crumble]

btw - that icon of Benedict Cumberbatch is so friggin' sexy.

[springstermatic]

because that men is unbelieveable sexy. especially when he plays sherlock holmes. *^*

[springstermatic]

oh and be sure to share pictures of your new home! :D

[violett_crumble]

only after all the boxes are unpacked and I've spent a paycheck or two at Ikea. ^_~

[springstermatic]

hahaha, but I'd like to see the chaos too :p
