Title: A Short Love Story in Drabble Form
Pairing: Ohno/Nino
Word Count: ~1,200
Summary: Ohno's an art student and Nino's a music student and together they've made beautiful things.
Notes: This starts off with the first drabble I wrote for the Ohmiya contest. And Ohno's mind more or less wrote itself? I can't decide if this is fluff or something more serious. You'll have to tell me!

( It's the last dregs of summer. )

Posting from dreamwidth! Is this the beginning of something new and epic? :D

First of all: (probably) dumb Arashi-related question! Where do those little sketches of the members come from - I think Ohno did them? With the appropriate amount of attention paid to Sho's buckteeth? SOLVED! ♥

Next: ( Procrastination in the form of photos. )

Next, round 2: ( Pieces of fic that would otherwise never see the light of day. )

WHYYYY SOOOO FAILZ. I need to go do stuff for real!

Ta-da! I got fourth place and it was a lot of fun. I hope there'll be more contests like this...

( Summer, a crowded train. On the ride home, Ohno is pressed against a slight boy around his age. )

What the hell, I've updated almost every day in April. (Sorry if that's troublesome!) I've had this thing since 2004 (horror) but there were times I'd go months without updating. Mmm, so - darn you, Arashi! () And by extension, darn you hiatus-ing!morimoli for getting me into Arashi! ()

P.S. to self: maybe not the best idea to post unchecked fics around 4 AM when sleep-deprived. Also, knees hurt. Maybe a hotpad will help?

DRAWING FAIL. (I'm so sorry, Nino.) ...I shouldn't be really spending my time on this.

( ... D: )

I'm kind of aspiring towards writing snuggle!fic today. If only to make it up to Nino.

YES. I was hoping to find something that would help me avoid my giant list of important stuff to do. Arashi never disappoints! Thanks HnA and VSA for helping me avoid important stuff.

O/T: I really like this song, but I read the short story ("Where Are You Going, Where Have You Been?") based on it for my Lit class and I read it at night and I got so creeped out. The power of words is amazing, really!

O/T2: While I was writing this I was an idiot and spilled soda over the top part of my keyboard and a little bit of the screen. The keyboard's not a problem, but my screen now has a giant splotch of... something on the bottom right. It's noticeable when the screen is white. From everything I've read - I'll leave it open overnight and take out the battery. IDIOT.

Holy crap! There are tons of submissions for the Ohmiya contest all of a sudden! I am so excited to see everything.

ASJFJFHUGRGH. So bouncy. This made me feel better.

Also, dining hall food attacked me yesterday. I'm still feeling kind of queasy. (Someone make me feel better. With doodles? Or fic? Or love? ;n;) I can't even begin to explain my pain (onaka ga itaiii) as I sat there working through an extremely boring essay and extremely irritating Japanese homework last night. Let this be a lesson to myself - don't trust the Yukon Gold Potato soup even if it looks delicious. It will KILL YOU. It will KILL YOU and LAUGH. Weep.

Edit: WTF SMAPのTsuyoshi?! D:

Global Exploration Day volunteering was too much fun! I gave a super simple explanation of kanji to about two sections of 75 elementary schoolers (3~5th grade) and then there was a game and it was so much fun. They're so cute. I'm freaking terrible at public speaking, but when it's just kids I'm gonna go out on a limb and say I'm preeetty amazing. TO BE HONEST, I WANT TO DO THIS FOREVER. hint: jetjetjetjet

Moving on.

HahahaHAHAHA. (P.S. There is not going to be anything sensible in the stuff behind the cut. Please read it anyway.)

I want my Quiz Show!

Ah, well, I haven't been posting much because there hasn't been much to post! Even though it's my own journal, I'm not really fond of writing about personal matters or anything like that. It seems boring even to me, which is why I've always failed at private diaries. I don't get any reflection out of writing about my day, haha. Oh, I don't spend any time thinking in my own head, either. Absolutely an empty space!

Well, yesterday was fun, though. I hung out with two of my friends and it was a time of overall Japanese-ness? If I can say that? Out of everyone I've met during this year at college, the closest of them have been from the Japanese program. It's truly fantastic here. It's sizable but not overally big, and you can really get to know people. We went to Aoeshe, had yummy sashimi (the boat it came on seemed too big! ) and Korean food, and then it was time for shopping. By shopping I mean spending my last five dollars on Ramune and stuff at the Asian market next door to the restaurant. Priorities, gotta keep them. Ramune remains a mystery-tasting drink... it was damn hard to open, too.

Then we watched Ryuusei no Kizuna? Right? Right, that's what we did. We were watching it out in the hallway with Pocky trash and Pepsi cans all around us. Is this the correct college lifestyle?? Hahaha, it garnered less weird looks than you'd think. I live on a living-learning community (International Crossroads), so we have fun events and are generally close for a college floor, I'd say. So it's not weird to see people sitting out in the hallway just hanging out.

Oh, my favorite (obscure) Arashi song has to be もどり雨 from the 黄色い涙 soundtrack. It's old style, and it's really pretty to me for some reason. Well, probably because it reminds me of the Russian bard songs I grew up with. That style of music remains really appealing to me. (I like 涙の流れ星 too.) I'm really looking forward to the big Russian Music Festival I'll be going to when this school year finally ends. A good description of it (in English!) can be found at this random journal entry. Drunk Russians singing songs around campfires, what more can you ask for?

I'm off to a volunteer training session on teaching kanji to elementary schoolers for Global Exploration Day! キャー Excited!
