Because I like to avoid all work, I decided to make a post for an introduction to all those new to my livejournal. I don't have much in my lj, but just in case someone doesn't want to go through ALL my past entries to find something interesting or want to just go through all the tags. Instead, I nipped that thought in the bud, and have a compilation of all my posts categorized.

But first of all...

WELCOME TO MY LIVEJOURNAL!
And enjoy the ride.


cynicalism would like you to know that she helped come up with the phrase. (last friends only had "semi-friends (with benefits) only")
bitofpixiedust would like you to know that the benefits are great x9.
partypaprika would like you to know that tinyangl is easier than Jin with goth chicks in LA. (Also, that tinyangl flashes people more than Arashi's Tokyo Dome outfits.)
imwahyou would like you to know that tinyangl is very M. (tinyangl would like you all to know that this is sadly true.)

Well, I've had this in the works since.. what? over a year ago? Just stopped working on it for no real good reason. Then I saw a video yesterday of a scene in Orange Days that reminded me of this list and made me want to go back and actually finish it. I also realized that I had to change shit around because new dramas came and knocked old dramas out of the water so yes. It had to be updated. Anyway, I've been wanting to make a top ten j-dramas list for ages which is why I made a post like this. Mind you, I love things very often so this list can change easily. XD

( My Top Ten Favorite Jdramas, complete with Music Videos because I'm cheesy. After the top three, the order of the others gets a little shaky, but here's a rough guess. XP )

"A quotation is a handy thing to have about, saving one the trouble of thinking for oneself." ~ A.A. Milne.
I have had this quote as my cell phone's message for years. And I mean years. I even sound younger. lol

Wow, this is a pretty short post. I have done nothing since yesterday's post. Because I am lame and have no life and the weekends are my time to relax--even though I seriously need to clean my room since C is going to be staying here for at least two days and a half. XD UM. If you have Facebook and play Farmville, PLEASE FRIEND ME. I'm like a friend away from getting 8 and I need more land. T.T (Hell, friend me even if you don't play Farmville!) I'm Kamika Farinas. :D Okay, back to playing games. And not doing work. As always.

Another tough one for me because I don't really have favorites! In fact, whenever I have to answer this question, I always have the same one. Anything written by Tamora Pierce. I honestly love her writing--hell, most of my books of hers (because I own a lot of them) have the spine all messed up with white streaks--AKA I'd been bending them often. I usually like taking care of my books so that I won't have those white lines of use. But hers I can re-read over and over again. Never mind the fact that they're Young Adult books--I still love them dearly. Unlike most people, I love the Circle of Magic series and want more of them especially now that they're growing/grown up. I think it's probably because the center of the story is a group of kids rather than just one person. But I love these books a lot. *___________*

If this had been asked a year or two ago, I'd've said CSI. I have loved CSI for year upon years and loved Eric Szmanda on top of it. Hell, before I got into JE fandom, my obsession before it was CSI. *__________* Right now, it's still one of my top favorite show--I loved the cases (could rewatch them any time) and loved the characters. But as time went on, my favorite Eric Szmanda, Greg Sanders' character started to become less focused on. Which is sad. Even nowadays, there isn't much focus on his character which really saddens me. D: Nowadays though, NCIS has started to take over as my favorite. I love the characters and the comedy and the relationships. Talk about seeing episodes again and again--almost always are they entertaining even after seeing them again. My favorite character is, hands down, Anthony DiNozzo--played by Michael Weatherly who is fabulous. <33333 In the most recent episodes though, he's been a bit of a prick, which is sad when he started out the season SO AMAZING. Um. So yes, that's it for me~8

Without a doubt, The Mummy movies (AKA only one and two because three was such a disaster that it should not even be considered a part of the franchise). It's not rare for me to rewatch movies--of my own volition, that is--and The Mummy movies are two that I will willingly watch again and again and again. If it's on television, it is my first choice over most programming--and I am the type of person that would rather watch something new than rewatch things. I know most of the dialogue by heart, or at least when watching it, I'll know what's about to be said. The comedy is great (I LOVE JONATHAN), the romance was *________* (loved Evy/O'Connell), the fight scenes were just GREAT (I will always think the girl x girl fights in the second movie are two really memorable fights--although I wished the second one had been so much longer), and the acting. a;lksdjaksjdf Rachel Weisz!!! She's totally one of my top 5 favorite actresses and she's just unbelievably gorgeous. In particular, how her eyes just sparkled during the first movie. OH SO PRETTY. *___________* So yes, that one was an easy question because nothing beats The Mummy and The Mummy Returns for me. :D

Snagged from anamuan.

I have a lot of problem choosing ONE single favorite song because I am so the type of person that just jumps from song to song depending on what I'm in the mood for that very second. Currently I've been repeating two songs--Defying Gravity, cover from Glee, and Arashi's Tokei Jikake no Umbrella. I don't think they'll be my ultimate FAVORITE song of all time, but as I don't really have one currently, that's the best I can give. lol

Wai~ Looks like you are all going to be seeing more of me! lol I'm sure you've missed my spam (or not XD).

( Oh! Completely realized I'd forgotten something in yesterday's post of catch up. )

Also, to finish this post. TWITTER #DEADFISHEYES TO SUPPORT YAMAPI! I know I am. :D

...let's see if I can write this post before I leave! Time start...now~

( Under a cut just because. )

To sum it all up, my life is boring. I'm a big baby with an overactive imagination. I'm hearing random noises in the apartment now and it's freaking me out. GREAT. my life. ~_~;; (it's probably just the bugs and rats though. That happens all the time around here. lol) ANYWAY, TIPS ON HOW TO STOP BEING A BABY. It'd be very much appreciated. XD

P.S. I couldn't finish in time to post before i left the apt so on the ride home, I kept DREADING going home and going to sleep to the point that I was like, OMG. SO TEMPTED TO BEG MY MOM TO SLEEP IN THEIR ROOM. Am I really 22 years old?

Except it's like 2 in the morning and even though i'm a little frightened (STUPID PARANORMAL ACTIVITY) to go to bed, i do have classes tmr. Anyway, I so have shit to talk about--getting drunk/FOOD POISONING?! last Wednesday and meeting Peyton on saturday and seeing shingo's ABSOLUTELY AMAZING "Talk Like Singing." ...Okay not as much as I had thought there would be XD, but still! Should be typed up~

I'm really posting for this:
The JE Fanfiction Feedback & Concrit Meme
Tell me what YOU think of my writing here!

Lord knows I wouldn't turn away any constructive criticism. I mean, I have to develop a skin for this kind of thing anyway--i am taking workshops galore. XD Also, speaking of fic, it may have been forever since I've written JE but omg, I got mentioned in the jefic meme as a GOOD writer. my heart may have soared a bit. <33333

Okay, i should go to bed. ... with the lights on. ://///

...Granted I did just get home, but I usually tumble right into bed because tomorrow I have to wake up at 4 in the morning and that only leaves me with 3 hours of sleep and then some, but I'm throwing that all to hell because really, what's an added 20-30 minutes? XD

I usually don't post, but tonight while I was trying to write a memoir piece for Prose Workshop, I sidetracked to read Aiba fic. Guys, if you only ever read one Aiba fic in your lifetime, make this one be it. Simple by floweranza. Absolutely beautifully written with the kind of flow that simultaneously breaks your heart and patches it back together. You know it's serious when I start to get teary-eyed half-way through the fic. I love her voice for Aiba--this enthusiastic, loves Arashi so much, and smarter than most people thing Aiba. I loved his relationship with the members and I especially loved the part about his love for the sax and how he had to give it up. Guys, it was just so amazing. I took at least a half-hour out of my time just to read it and that was time SO WELL SPENT. Go read it! It's fabulous.

And while I'm pimping stuff, this is William Fitzsimmons doing a cover of Kanye West's "Heartless." I think it's loads better than the original--so much more haunting. I've had it on repeat all day.


I think that's it! Going to bed. XD

i. I've been on Facebook lately. Hell, even as I'm typing this, I'm monitoring my farm and restaurant (Farmville and Restaurant City). Not on my personal account though. I'm kind of sick of that one and started a new one under Kamika. lol Less of a chance of people I don't want to find me to actually find me! XD Avoidance, that is my game. Plus, I'll probably focus on this one more, so all those who have fb, friend me! I'm Kamika Farinas. No one else has that name. (The closest is Kamila Farias.) so friend meeeeee~ :DDDD All I've been doing is playing games though. lol

ii. I'm like physically tired. I've been tired since Wednesday. I could sleep right now, actually. Work has been busy--we're cataloging a collection so that'll be a bit of work for the next month. Plus there was some breakdown with the machines Friday to the point that it felt like some kind of conspiracy. lol School has been... well school. I'm sick of most of my classes. The only class that I like of my five classes is Intro to Media Studies. Just so tired of them all. And science prof is the worst professor I've ever had. And I swear he uses eyeliner. o.o

iii. ...God, do I even have a third point? Random point then, Sharona/Randy on Monk. SQUEE. I totally watched Monk last night just because Sharona was on and I absolutely adored her. I missed her and Randy together. Any of their scenes together was awesome, ESPECIALLY THAT LAST ONE. If you saw it, you know what I'm talking about. :D (Not that I think many of you here (if any) actually watch Monk. And then I checked out White Collar since it's been pimped HARDCORE all over the place. Hell, even the AM newspaper here had a cover regarding White Collar. It wasn't bad. Not the funniest thing I've seen, but pretty interesting. Doesn't hurt that the lead's hot. :D And the hat was hot too. lol I'll probably check out the next ep out of curiosity.

...I'M SO BORING. What's everyone up to! :D And friend me on facebook! XDDDD

I don't meet my friends until 6. It is currently 2 and thus post! This may also make up for the fact that I somehow went two weeks without posting. I didn't even notice until just now when I was looking up my history on my Semagic. oh wait, i was looking at the wrong calendar. it hasn't even been a week. XDDDD Still. Like Cyn once said, remember when they couldn't pay us to even get off LJ? lol I miss those days. D:

Random meme: (Was looking back at my entries and why not?)

Step 1: Put your iTunes or equivalent on random.
Step 2: Post the first line from the first 30 songs that play IN A BLOG ENTRY, no matter how embarrassing.
Step 3: Bold out the songs when someone guesses correctly.
Step 4: Looking them up on Google or any other search engine is CHEATING!

( First 30 songs! )

On a random note, my s key on my keyboard has not been as functional as I'd like. I cannot tell you how many times I had to backspace in this one entry just to put in an 's' that wasn't added. dnw my laptop to break down, thnx.

What's everyone up to this lovely Saturday ...day? :D

...I might've just cut two of my three classes today. I just. I couldn't do it. I just... Today was just not a good day--I couldn't do it. My two worst classes and I was already feeling somewhat dead so the idea of having to go through my worst classes? no. did not want. But now i only have one absence left for BOTH CLASSES because wtf, one of them only allows two absences which is seriously fucked up. I'm only thankful that I at least waited until September ended before I used it up. XDDDDDD I am really fail.

But that's boring talk, how about more interesting shit!

First of all, LOL my mom caught me drinking. Well, not in the action of drinking but afterward. Yesterday was C's birthday so after work, we (we being C, me, boy!J, P and C's friend, Ka) went to celebrate! First was this Italian place by work called D'Angelo's where I drank wine for the first time. Then we went to this lounge called Faces and Names (I think? Or was it Names and Faces?) where I proceeded to have three shots and one and a half margaritas. Guys? SO FUCKING GOOD. Omg. their margaritas were amazingly done. I could barely taste the alcohol--or rather, tasted none of it. Which may be why I got uber tipsy that night. But by the time I saw my mom, I was at least mostly sober. Kind of. I was still being loud and talkative. So when I leaned in to talk with her about something, she suddenly asked, "Did you drink wine?" Which was kind of LOL considering HOW MUCH I'D ACTUALLY DRANK. But whatever. I had to cover it up and make it seem like all I did drink was wine. XD And only a glass at that. And then she just went, don't do that again. Blahblahblah. Yeah, nothing that I didn't expect. But still, I was caught between trying so hard not to laugh and making a cover story. XDDD Whoops.

Um, nothing really interesting other than that. Oh! I did officially start working yesterday. Working twice a week! :D so happy. Kinda sad on the other hand though because now I lose my Fridays which I had so loved having for breaks. Oh well.

And to fill this up a little more, last Tuesday's NCIS was fucking amazing. So far, I'm really loving the start of this season. And can I say that Tony is hot? Because he is. Michael Weatherly dyed his hair, I think, and the lighter color just looks yummy. XD Picspam of said episode. Ziva's scenes were just hands-down the best. I want to pick favorites--was going to--but realized that I loved them all. (Well, I may hold soft spots for the Tony/Ziva one and the last Ziva/Gibbs one.) And also, yesterday's Glee. God, this show just does it for me with their musical numbers. But they had Kristin Chenoweth in that particular episode and she is fabulous. I already knew about her voice from Pushing Daisies, but FUCK, did it really stand out in this show. Her duet with Will? OMG. LOVE. I already have the four songs from that ep, and can't stop repeating them over and over again while doing shit. a;sdlkfjaslkdj SO GOOD.

Anyone else watching these shows and want to FLAIL with me?! :DDDD

...As such, I've been playing games, watching videos and... well, really that's about it.

- Videos-wise, caught up on Leverage, Psych, Glee, and Supernatural. *________________* I have a lot of love for Glee even though it's only two episodes in, but guys. MUSICAL SHOW (essentially). I heart musicals so to see/hear performances every episode (so far anyway) is just all sorts of love. <3 I'm wondering what's going to happen with the start of Leverage next... what? January? alskdjfkaldjf Excited. I don't know about this new girl and whatnot, but I'm holding out before commenting fully. I am so out of the loop for when my shows start, but I'm anticipating them! Bones! NCIS (both versions--L.A. more out of curiosity though and Chris O'Donnell)! How I Met Your Mother! The Big Bang Theory! Fringe! Castle! And probably more whose names I won't remember until it appears on my flist accompanied by flail. (speaking of upcoming shows, OMG, promos for himym. GUYS. SO FUNNY. Don't watch the first if you don't want spoilers, but the second one is all sorts of HYSTERICAL. Seriously. WATCH. :DDDD
- V6 on Music Station from last Friday [subbed]. UM. The talk was hysterical. Coming Century talking about going on tour and the showers. I laughed so hard. Poor Miyake being bothered by both Hadaka-san Okada and asshole!boyfriend Go. So funny. Apparently he reacts like an anime/manga character. I'd love to see that. ALSO. The performance was better then their last one, which I hadn't even known was possible. *___________* The camera work was LOADS better. And I normally don't notice that kind of thing, but I just loved how the camera worked for the performance. It highlighted like everything I wanted it to. *_________* And MMMM. Sakamoto.
- Speaking of Sakamoto, changed my layout. Not sure I'm happy with it, but I'm too lazy to fuck around with the colors so leaving it as it is. tinyangl. But more than anything else, I just liked the original of the picture I used for my header. *___________* SAKAMOTO, HOW YOU BE SO HOT? Oh also, I hadn't spoken about it, but I also ended up changing my friends only banner. I said I'd use that picture of Yamapi. Mmmm. Front page is so hot.
- Shida Mirai on Himitsu no Arashi-chan was the cutest thing EVER. I never realized she had such an obsession with Tuna. Made me laugh so hard because it was like 45 or something % while, I think, love or relationships or something like that was .5% SO FUNNY. (Also, Abe Hiroshi was like 2.5% which made me giggle. And totally approve. (Also, the food game with Audrey was all sorts of funny. I love how they all did REALLY WELL, until the last person. Oh Matsujun.)
- On a random HAPPY note, yesterday I went with my mom and my brother to Palisades Mall to buy some school supplies. And when we went to Staples, I got a new computer mouse (because my last one broke after I dropped it way too many times XD) and a small dry-erase board. *____________* I especially wanted the dry-erase board so I could finally have something to keep track of what I have due that week/or what I have to DO that week. IT IS SO PRETTY AND LOVELY. It's right next to my wallscroll of Sakura. lol (Random fact about Palisades Mall that I just found out today: 10th largest shopping mall in the US and largest in the Tristate area.)
- As for games, there's a Cake Mania 4 which was like O.O. What the heck, another one? BUT. I actually like this version over all the other three, because not only does it have the main cake shop, but there are three other shops that you can play--burger, flower, and sushi shops. I totally love the sushi shop because it's the easiest of the four games (but is the last to be opened to my annoyance). And then even more annoyance! I somehow lost my saved game. DDDDDDDD: I got really far last night to the point that my wrist was starting to hurt, but UGH. Want to play again to get to sushi shop! D:
- Meme! YOU KNOW YOU'RE tinyangl WHEN...
- And another meme that I'm stealing from Crys! :D
( now this one needs to be behind a cut. )

Okay, maybe I should go do work before everything's left to Sunday. XD And that's not too good.

I will only be able to post on weekends at this rate. This week has been exhausting, even though it's only been three days of work/school. I think next week or the week after I'll finally have my schedule like it should be AKA I'll no longer have Fridays free as I've been having since I'm supposed to be working Fridays. I think I'll regret this when I actually start working, but for now, I'm relishing in my Fridays free. I slept nearly 12 hours last night because I was so tired. I didn't even do my usual check-my-flist,-twitter,-and-email before I went to sleep. (Which explains why I went back 275 entries as a result. XD) Actually the past two weeks have pretty much shown me that my internet/laptop obsession is going to have to take a back-burner this semester. O.O Weird, I know, but eh. Gotta get used to it.

Not much to talk about really. My life's been school and school and work and watching random vids on my iPod after I finally realized I could watch wide-screened things on it. Which had always been my biggest problem. But as such, FINALLY CAUGHT UP ON FRINGE. I had left off on ep9 and had to watch from that point on in like one week. IT WAS AWESOME. :D The last ep. omg. That TWIST. I totally hadn't seen it coming. As is predictable, I've been fawning over Joshua Jackson with every episode that I watch. OMG, SO HOT. Plus, I love Peter's relationship with Walter SO MUCH. And I may be shipping Peter/Astrid or Peter/Olivia in my head. Only because I'm a shipping whore and I need someone to sleep with Peter already. XD

I HONESTLY HAVE NOTHING ELSE TO TALK ABOUT. Oh. I handed in my first piece to be workshopped with last Wednesday. It is probably the worst thing I've ever written even though I've been wanting to write that piece for ages (read: a year). Blah. I don't even want to acknowledge it. ~_~;; Also, I STILL GO RED WHENEVER I TALK IN CLASS. I really have to get over this embarrassment if I'm going to have to deal with workshop. ~_~;;

Also, watching Shida Mirai on Himitsu no Arashi-chan right now. I REALLY HOPE THIS GETS SUBBED SOON. *________________* She's so adorab. :D I LAUGH AT OHNO SAYING HE'S AN OSSAN. XD

Happy (belated) Birthday to the Ryo to my Shige, cynicalism~ From the sounds of it, you had a good one I approve of legalized drinking lol and just all around ♥. Also, happy (belated) birthdays to calledinvain andmycroftnext. XD Sorry this is like massively late. I have like no time over the week to ever post, I realized. But school stuff will clutter another post so this one isn't tainted by school's touch. lol

Just some random points on that note:
- I suddenly wanted to pick up Fringe again. I realized that I stopped at episode 9 so I have a lot to catch up on. XD Haven't started yet, but am all sorts of excited. for reasons I'm not quite sure I know.
- Recently picked up MiChi's KISS KISS xxx single. Have been utterly obsessed with the track Wonderland on it. Am all sorts of glad that I decided to just throw the entire single on my iPod despite not having listened. Although am not very fond of the Change the World remix. It was good to begin with, why change it?
- Also have been obsessed with Crystal Kay ft. Akanishi Jin's Helpless Night. Like practically everyone else. It is just so good and lovely and... I have a very limited vocabulary. XD It took a while to really hear Jin's ...well, his supposed male voice. XD I was at work and playing it through the speakers and I was telling C about who was singing (since now she knows all the members of KAT-TUN) and I emphasized the fact that the accompanying voice was male. She went, "I was going to ask because, well..." And then broke out into laughter. XD
- I'm in the mood for more Japanese music. My iTunes is scarily empty and I want to fill it out more. Any recommendations?
- Favor! Can someone romaji "艶姿!ナニワの光三郞七變化" for me? Someone uploaded a Koichi drama SP and I want to throw it onto my site. :D

That's all for now! School-centric post to come later. It'll be filled with lots of annoyances.

...Until class tomorrow. I have Intro to Media Studies and Prose Workshop tomorrow. HOW IS THE FIRST DAY OF THE SEMESTER ALREADY UPON US? This annoys me so much because once again, I feel like the summer barely happened and somehow 3 months went by in the fucking blink of an eye. I'm not in school mode whatsoever. I haven't prepared my bag (or at least stuffed new looseleaf inside my folder which is all I really EVER carry to school), nor have I done my homework (which I'm getting to as soon as I finish typing this post). BLAHHHHH. Plus the idea that I'm going to school four days a week? I can see myself getting sick of it fast. Although, I did realize one benefit as I was washing the dishes today. I won't have to do that for a week. Washing dishes, that is. XD Actually, when I think about it, I won't be seeing a lot of my mom since we'll be home at different hours. lol There's so many chores I won't have to do! (I am so lazy.) I also hope this means they'll start "training" my brother to start doing chores instead of it being me who keeps badgering him, lol.

I didn't watch much of 24 Hours yet, mainly because I'm waiting to see if they'll upload the entire show. Not that I have 24 hours to spare to watch the entire thing, but I would like to see more than what's gone up. I did see one major part of 24Hrs and that's the letter reading. It was a little abnormal this year in that nobody from the group hosting (AKA NewS) read a letter but Yamapi's friend (you know, the one in the wheelchair that he did his task with?) read a letter to Yamapi. Guys? OHMYGOD, YAMAPI'S FACE WHEN HIS FRIEND WAS READING THE LETTER WAS SO EMOTIONAL. You could totally tell he was trying to hold back his tears. I was in a call with Peyton and Rhey at the time and we all watched at different times, but we all just flailed so heavily during that point. Yamapi, oh Yamapi. ♥♥

See for yourself:


If this is what people meant when they voted him as having "eye power," I totally see it. I just watched it again and GOD. YAMAPI. My heart. I still haven't seen the task but I imagine I'll be bawling. I really really can't wait to watch this. I'll probably dedicate my Friday/Saturday to 24Hrs this week since they'll be the only days I'll be free. lol Then after that EXTREMELY moving moment, we proceeded to bitch out Kame. For reasons why, watch the clip above. XD

Um. Other than that, I haven't been doing much. Just been uber tired lately. Which is funny when I haven't done anything. I am a weird person like that. XD

Okay, I've dragged this post on for longer than I should lol. I should go do that assignment now. Arf.

P.S. WATCH THE GUILTY PV IF YOU HAVEN'T. MMMMMMMMMM SAKAMOTO.
P.P.S. OH. I saw both the Dragonball Evolution movie and the Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun Li movie. Can we talk about how painful they were? And how disappointed I was that Chun Li didn't fight more? XD

In randomness, I had my first day of work yesterday... Although it was really training. Work starts next Wednesday. ...Along with school. Fuck. How is school already starting? What happened to my summmerrrrrrr?? T.T Well, here's back to sleeping less. ~_~;;

Otherwise, hope everyone's having a good day~ What are you all up to?

I got an email from my prose workshop about our first assignment. Today. First assignment. Predictably, nervous butterflies fluttered into my stomach as they always did at the idea of workshop. Not to mention that classes haven't even started and already I'd gotten my first assignment. And still, still even five, ten minutes later, those butterflies are still there and I'm still mentally cursing myself for taking this class--even though I've wanted to take it for years. a;slkajsdfkajsdf Guys, I haven't written anything decent--fanfic or original--in ages. I'm so not ready to think about this--I didn't expect for us to start out so quickly! Oh god, oh god. I need food. a;slkdfjasldkfjas T.T I'm not ready to think about school yet. My last year. Oh god, oh god. WHY AM I STILL FREAKING OUT AT THE IDEA OF THIS?

...Need to calm down. I have stuff to do today. a;slkdajflsd


...
How is everyone else doing today on this lovely afternoon?

Also, yesterday after the dentist appointment that never happened (stupid hygienist called in sick), my parents, brother and I had to pass time before my parents' other appointment. We ended up eating breakfast and doing some light shopping. I ended up going into Payless and getting this and this. I especially loved the second one. I couldn't take my eyes off them. *____________* Also, I discovered my left foot is smaller than my right. Never realized that before. Anybody else have that? XDDD

That's really it. XD I can't stop thinking about workshop as is anyway.
