New excerpt which I have written just now in the past five minutes, but I must warn you it is less than fantastic. I am woefully behind. It is kind of exciting.

I have decided perhaps that one of the novel's themes perhaps is (involuntary?) corruption, and I would never want to be friends with any of these characters in real life, ever. Unlike my current novel project, where I think it would be hilarious to hang out with everyone. Perhaps that is one of the reasons I have actually been able to stick with this novel for going on three years now. (I hate admitting I have been working on this one novel for so long because I have mad woman friends who I'm sure churn out twenty-five novels each per year.)

Anyway, yay NaNo, boo PACI which I don't want to go to at all. Haha, I have spent like half of today sitting here in the school computer lab reading MoMusu forums. I am absolutely convinced that one day this is going to get me into trouble. I don't think it's a brilliant move to look at pictures of underaged Berryz Koubou (their 2007 calendar pwns MoMusu's, how distressing) in a place where people can see what you're doing. Ahaha, I'll have to come up with a clever excuse. "But I'm writing an essay on rorikon, you don't understand!"

I've found out some interesting facts about you Sarah ~

I'm shocked you look at those pics in school ~ LOL
How's ur essay on rorikon going? LOL

Morning Musume scares me with their super cuteness/ and sometimes rather stupidness

but I'm sure that's how many people feel towards Johnny's
I thought the guy who thought of MM was going to do one with a male group?
My friends and I joked it was going to be called Morning Musuko ~ What happen to that rumour? I guess it never panned out eh ~

How's ur Japanese presentation? I don't know what to do? I'm a BIG HUGE PIECE OF BLANK SLATE. SIGH _ㄇ○

I think I will catch you one of these days ~ LOL

I actually I have never heard their music ~ I've heard bits and pieces of it on performance ~ but I've never liked it, cause their well ultra cutisness has freaked me out and I also end up skipping their parts.
Oh ~ Well that "stupidness" kinda feeling comes from when I see them answer questions when asked. Sometimes they answer wierdly ~ When people ask them ~ They give me and my friends the asian version of the sterotypical blond bimbo, boke-ness if that's even a word. LOL

There was one when three girls were on Love Love Aishteru and I went -.-; when I heard their answers. Ayaya used to freak me out with her cutsyness but she no longer acts all that cute as much anymore.

Well I think Johnny's is the male version of the Hello! Project. But JE has become infested with little chibi Jrs ~ It's kinda gives you a feel that we're pedophiles cause these kids are like 12, and if you flip through the magazines it's filled with little kids as they have started not posting pics of the idols who are past 30 ~ like 20th Century is no longer in these magaziens only Coming Cen is.

For me ~ It depends ~ I listen to songs sung by females and some of them have great music like Ito Yuna, Hikki, Namie (although I've found her music recently really American popish). Someone sent me Koda Kumi's MM audition. I can never imagine her all cutsy and stuff. LOL ~ But I guess it was a good thing she never got into MM or else she'd never be as popular as she is now.

Yeah but we have to do a presentation right? What kind of presentation are we talking about????????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Music rambling

Sarah, it's okay! You're not male, you're allowed to look at pictures of scantily-clad underage asian girls!

(I feel slightly out of place commenting here, because I quite frankly have no idea what half these sentences are about, BUT I SHALL FORGE ONWARDS. Also Marcus is German, not Japanese, but WHATEVA.)

If I had looked at MoMusu before listening to them, I don't think I ever would have anticipated liking them in the least. I've seen a few interviews - mostly with you and Julie - and while I enjoy their music, sometimes they come across as ... well, silly little girls. I like listening to their music when I'm in a certain mood, but sometimes reading translations of their interviews annoys me, because I'm like, "*I* could have said that! You're no divinely-inspired artist, you can't even sing! You don't play your instuments! Get off the stage!" But that's only in my most abusive moods (and I feel like that about some of my lesser metalheads: you're just idiots with guitars, there's no substance in your lyrics, please stop sucking already).

As far as Japanese music goes (and I am generalizing horribly here) from the stuff I've heard I'd have to say that I enjoy male music more. With the notable exception of Gackt, because his voice is strange and he himself is simply nuts, I find that I can't listen to male music consistently. Like, with Arc-en-Ciel or Asian Kung-Fu Generation, I can only listen to three or four of their songs, because I find that their styles are dull and their VOICES are frustrating and mundane. (I suppose Aucifer and Orange Range are exceptions as well, but even then I only have about eight songs from each).

I DON'T HAVE TO DO A PRESENTATION. I WIN THE WORLD.
