Calling all Arashians!


Arashi Operation has officially started!
Since today's Ohno's birthday and Arashi are celebrating their 10th anniversary this year, Arashi fans looked for a nice way to celebrate it. HERE is the official topic with the details.

We are going to make #tsuribaka and #wemakestorm trending topics on Twitter for today. :D

It's very simple: if you want to join the operation, you just have to add one of those tags (or both) to one of your tweets and maybe say something about our wonderful fandom. *_* Let's show the world how big our fandom is! I think it's going to be a success anyway. XD

DETAILS
Date: 26th November 2009 ,Thursday
Time: 10AM Japan (Tokyo) time [which means, FROM NOW!]

I HAD to join. XD When one of my fandoms (especially this one) calls, I can't help answering. <3 Let's have some fun, guys!

This is a quick (very!quick) update, because I'm in a hurry as usual and I want to get some homework done tonight. <3 I do love Japanese and lately I've been having so many things to study that I'm probably starting to forget English. XD

Now, the main topic: I'm on Twitter. If I told you the reason why I joined, I'll make you laugh. Yeah, I'm so going to tell you. XD I've never been interested in Twitter, because it isn't like I've got so much time to waste and I'm already available everywhere on the web, so I thought "At least, I won't join Twitter".

Today, I was looking at my friends page here on LJ and saw this post. XD It's about an operation Arashi fans are organizing: they want Arashi to be on the trending topic list on 26th, since it's Ohno's birthday and this year Arashi are celebrating their 10th anniversary. :D

I thought "God, I HAVE to join"! XD I'm a fangirl, which means whenever my fandom calls, I will always answer. <333 I hope the operation will succeed, good luck everyone. Gambatte ne!

Random news #1: Yea, I did see New Moon. XD I'll tell you more the next time, I promise.
Random news #2: "You're beautiful", a korean drama, watch it! LMAO. XD
Random request: Where can I find the photoshoot MatsuJun did with that lovely puppy in my icon? <3 *puppy eyes*

YAY!  
This is the best birthday ever! :D

First, I could get in contact with almost all of my friends and I'm really happy about it. They're all so nice and kind to me, I love them!

Second, everything is going my way! XD Everything.

Third, tomorrow I'm going to have a birthday party with my schoolmates and it's going to be so much fun! It's been a while since the last time we reunited. <3 I'm a bit sad that I won't be able to meet [info]mero_za_kira and [info]lord_way, but I'm confident that I'll see them next week. <3

Fourth, my plans for my party on Sunday are going fine. :) We'll play lots of games, take pictures and it'll definitely be fun! I don't know the details because my friends are keeping them a secret, that's why I'm so excited. :)

Fifth, I bought lots of manga! *.* The comics store I go to makes special prices on birthdays, so I got 20% discount on everything and special discount coupons. :p The shop assistants and I are in good terms, so they even sang me "Happy birthday". XD

Sixth, YesAsia.com gave me 3 coupons, so that I'll be spending 15$ less on everything I buy from them. XD

Seventh, You're beautiful episode #11 has just been released and subbed in English, so I'm going to watch it! :D So HAPPY! Tomorrow the subs for episode #12 will probably be available. *___*

Mh. Okay, today is that day.

I'm officially twenty since about three hours ago. Actually, if we want to be accurate, I was born at 10,30 a.m., which means I'll be nineteen for another 7 hours and a half. Yay. I'm a bit scared when I think I'm not a teenager anymore, and I do know it's stupid, because it isn't that I'll wake up this morning and suddenly feel more mature, adult or less silly (or nerdy XD). It's just the number: I'm twenty and I'm supposed to be an adult or at least act like one, right? XD

Why couldn't I be nineteen forever? Nineteen was nice, it made me feel safe (?). I grew up, when did that happen? When I was little, I couldn't even think this far, I've never thought of myself being 20. °°

I started not caring much about my birthdays when I was about 11, I only had parties for the more important ones like the 15th, the 16th and the 18th, but I didn't care at all. I don't know why I'm so concerned about this one. Okay, I'm not so comfortable about growing up, got a problem with that? I feel like Cory in Boy meets world, I'm so confused. xD

And there's more! I've just learnt how to do a good self-introduction in Japanese and I've always said "I'm nineteen" ("Juukyusai desu"), I don't even know how to say I'm 20! >_> It's the only irregular age number and I can't remember. :(

I just realized how sensitive I am about it. I didn't get a call or a text at midnight from a couple of my BBF - I did get lots of texts and I'm happy so many people remembered (<333) - who always did so, because right now they're busy bees and go to bed at 10, and I felt sad. ME! SAD! O_O How useless am I? I never cared about those things, never! I mean, of course they will wish me a Happy Birthday as soon as they wake up, they spoiled me too much and I'm being childish. XD (Did I tell you about the TWO birthday parties? Yeah, I'm a spoiled child)

Happy birthday to me! :D

I thought it was time to update. XD I was looking for a beta-reader in the previous post, because I've always had lots of friends with freetime who were willing to help me, but in this period they're all so busy (damn school!) and I don't want to bother asking them to beta-read my fictions.

Well, I found two beta-readers and a proof-reader: it's just great there are so many people out there willing to help an helpless writer like me. *sends kisses* They've all got different interests, which is perfect since I won't have to bother them too much with the things they don't like. :D Seriously, they saved me. It's like my birthday! **

One of them *coughScough* already helped me with a fiction I wrote last week and she's perfect; I mean, I did know she was an incredible writer, but the way she beta-reads is exactly what I need. I can't wait to make the other ones work too. *o*
That fiction was an original one and it was about a werewolf and a ghost, I don't like it that much, which means I'm definitely ready to write an horrible book that will become a bestseller like Twilight, YAY! By the way, I'm looking forward to watching New Moon movie. XD

What else? I didn't go to Lucca Comics, like I told you. :( It isn't related at all, but next week I'm going to be 20! *_* I think I'm going to have two birthday parties, one in Bologna with my friends from university and one in my hometown with the other ones. [info]mocchy talked about a ピクニック (picnic) under the Maroccan cedar in the middle of the university's garden and I proposed doing 花見 (hanami= flower watching, usually cherry blossoms), but there are no flowers... we'll just watch the pidgeons. XD

My friend Giada is organizing the party in my hometown and she doesn't want to tell me anything about it, she said we're going to play some games, sing and a friend of mine told me it's going to be my funeral. °_° WHAT? I'm really curious, I guess I'll keep bugging my friend till he tells me everything. I'll trick him or something, because he can't keep a secret. XD

I hope you all spent a nice Halloween. :) I was too tired to celebrate, so I ended up writing a fiction for a challenge on [info]fanfic_italia. <3

Now I'll go and have lunch with some friends - I'll have to write a femslash fiction and I'm going to ask some questions to a friend and maybe I'll take notes too XD - and then I've got a Japanese lesson. YAY. *_*

!Italian!

Ciao a tutti, cari utenti che capitate anche per caso sul mio LJ.
Un tempo (neanche tanto tempo fa), c'era una meravigliosa fanciulla che adoro dal profondo del cuore con la quale ciarlavo dalla mattina alla sera, approfittandone anche per propinarle i miei scritti perchè li betasse e mi desse un parere. *_* Purtroppo a causa delle nostre fitte liste di impegni, non riusciamo mai a beccarci e quando finalmente ci riusciamo, mi è mancato talmente tanto parlare con lei che chiederle di betarmi è l'ultimo pensiero.
Potrei mandarle la roba via e-mail così me la beta quando ha tempo, ma onestamente mi scoccia approfittare di lei con tutti gli impegni che ha. ;_;

Quiiindi, mi servirebbe una beta, o un beta. <3 Va bene anche part-time, in nero, in affitto, a tempo determinato, disponibile solo per determinati fandom, come preferite.

Sono un'autrice (paroloni...) che scrive saltuariamente, quindi non si tratterebbe di un impegno costante e nemmeno troppo faticoso, potete prendervi tutto il tempo che volete per betare, salvo in determinati casi in cui ci sono scadenze (ma fidatevi che in quei casi posterei all'ultimo secondo, quindi il betaggio avverrebbe dopo la consegna nei tempi che preferite).
Come già detto, se non conoscete o non vi piacciono alcuni fandom o coppie di cui scrivo, basta che lo diciate e non è necessario che mi betiate anche quelle. Inoltre, se mi dite per esempio "Sono disponibile a betarti solo fic sui telefilm", non vuol dire che dobbiate per forza betare tutte le mie fic sui telefilm.
Di solito è una cosa molto informale, non un impegno ufficiale, del tipo "Ho scritto una fic, hai tempo o voglia di betarmela?", se non ne avete vi vorrò bene comunque e chiederò a qualcun altro. Per questo motivo, accetto più di un/a beta. <333

Insomma, si tratterebbe di qualche fic ogni tanto e se dopo una-due fic vi accorgete che vi richiede troppo tempo/impegno o che semplicemente non vi trovate bene, basta che lo diciate e amici come e più di prima. XD

Requisiti richiesti:
- Senso dell'umorismo -non c'entra niente, ma è faticoso lavorare con gente noiosa, senza offesa-; XD
- Un'ottima conoscenza della lingua italiana -i miei errori sono dovuti principalmente al fatto che qualche volta sbaglio a pigiare i tasti e non me ne accorgo nemmeno rileggendo, ma come requisito non guasta mai-;
- Capacità di dispensare consigli e esprimere giudizi con cognizione di causa, che è decisamente quello che mi serve di più;
- SENSO CRITICO, perchè sì, mi serve una persona schietta che mi faccia notare anche il pelo nell'uovo e mi demolisca per bene;
- Una conoscenza, almeno di base, dei fandom di cui tratto (principalmente Harry Potter), non sarebbe male, ma non è indispensabile;
- Un po' di inventiva riguardo ai titoli delle fic, perchè sono costantemente a corto e scelgo cose orride;
- Una persona almeno un po' tirannica o sadica che mi costringa a scrivere sarebbe l'ideale, non indispensabile però.

Fandom e pairing.
Ho scritto su Harry Potter (Draco/Harry, Ron/Hermione, George/Pansy), ultimamente sono principalmente interessata alle Draco/Harry e alle George/Pansy, non escludo un giorno di scrivere di altre coppie.
Ho scritto una fic su Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicle (Kurogane/Fay), che avrebbe bisogno di betaggio. Non ho al momento in programma di scriverne altre.
Ho scritto di personaggi originali nell'universo potteriano (solo pg originali, Potter&co. non sono mai esistiti in quell'universe) ed ho in programma di scriverne ancora. Non si tratta di Mary Sue o Gary Stu, per la cronaca.
Ho scritto una one-shot originale, ma non ne farò un'abitudine. Programmo di scrivere su Gossip Girl, Dollhouse e chissà che altro.

Per farvi un'idea, trovate le mie fic:
Vecchie; Recenti; Nuove

Per proporvi:
Lasciate un commento in questo post con nickname e indirizzo e-mail, in ogni caso i commenti sono nascosti. Se siete su LJ potete comunicarmi l'e-mail anche via MP.


OFFRO A MIA VOLTA SERVIZIO DI BETAREADER a chiunque volesse approfittarne. <3

♪ I'm learning Japanese, そうですね。In two weeks we already know hiragana&katakana, how to introduce ourselves, tell the time, ask nationalities and a couple of other things. I mean, it's a lot for just two weeks and I love it. XD Everytime I see a Japanese character I say "Woa, I can read it!" and I find it exciting.

♪ I haven't been to English classes lately, shame on me! It's just that they're crowded (last time I didn't have a place to sit), you can't hear the teacher and I already know what they're teaching. :/ From Tuesday on I'm going, no excuses and I'll be going to French lessons too. \o/ *tries to convince herself*

♪ These days I've been studying Pride and Prejudice, because my cousin needed help for an essay about Mr and Mrs Bennet, in the end we wrote so much that I'm overflowing with informations. XD It was nice spending some time with her, because we both are pretty busy and barely see each other, which makes me feel lonely.

♪ Tonight there was Batman Begins on tv, I recognised it when I heard it even if I was in another room and I had to go and watch it. <3 I forced my mum to watch it with me, because she doesn't usually see these kind of movies, and I'm glad I did since she loved it too. I spent plenty of time saying how cute Cillian Murphy was and how beautiful his eyes were.

♪ I watched Chéri with Michelle Pfeiffer and Rupert Friend and I really liked it! <3 It was the perfect mixture of humour, love and tragedy, I thought it was unexpectedly deep and I'll watch it again to fully understand its meanings. I've also seen UP and it was funny, I totally enjoyed it, althought I heard kids crying a lot (Ok, I was about to cry too...).
A movie for which I cried a lot is The time traveler's wife, it had been so long since the last time I cried this much! Lots of people didn't like it, but I did and that's probably because I haven't read the book yet; anyway I don't know if I could ever dislike a movie where Rachel McAdams and Eric Bana are that good.

♪ Have you seen the first episode of My Girl with Aiba? He and the little girl look very cute, he's adorable as a daddy! ♥ I was surprised that he acts this well and I wonder why Johnny didn't give him more roles in dramas before, I can't believe this is his first leading role because he's good (I want to see Toma in a leading role too. Come on, Johnny!). The ending scene with the phone is so moving, but I didn't cry this time. XD

♪ On 1st November I'll be going to Lucca Comics, the biggest comics convention in Italy, it's finally decided! I'm not excited about it, but I think it's just because I feel apathetic in this period, I'll definitely have fun. I hope I'll be able to meet with some internet friends. *_* Unless a miracle happens, I won't be going. ;_;

♪ I updated [info]arashi_rainbow! I made new graphics about Hanakimi for a contest, I haven't read the manga yet, but it looks really cute. *-*
