He does! He just... doesn't use it >_>" *cough* maybe he needs some encouragement.

Thanks. :)

Yeah, seems like someone photographed all 759 pages of it (US version, published by Scholastic). I actually do have the file, if you want it... it's 70+MB in size, quite a few jpg files in a zip. XD

Re: money, do you want me to paypal you money for Tenimyu tickets? I think I should be able to any time. (I've never tried before, but I have paypal set up and money in the right account...)

Trying to take a few photos of the inside of the photobook but it is oh-so-difficult. Shiny paper = flash reflects, and there's never enough light in this room for photos without flash!! Still, got a few, will see how they are in a bit and maybe post them~

From:

Could you? It's US$109. My paypal address is my gmail address.

Bah. Maybe I'll just wait for my own copy.

From:

That should be it?

From:

Yay~ got it, thanks!

From:

Money for tickets and your kicks for free~~

*dons helmet and HIDES*

Erm. Anyway. Want a money transfusion now, or wait until you have all our ducks in a row? 8D

From:

.......XD

I'm still bidding on the other tickets (lost some auctions =/) but yeah, a transfusion now would be nice. ^^" US$96! (yours is a bit less than Liz's because she owes me a few dollars from dinner the other day XD)

From:

Did you calculate in the cc charges that PayPal does, and if not how much extra? :)

From:

Oh! I forgot about that. :D; That'll make it $100 total, thanks~

From:

Sent! I feel better and less i debt now! XD;

From:

Thanks! I'll let you know about the tickets for the 13th if I manage to get some~

From:

Wonderful! 8D

We could nip down to Osaka, I guess, if you're JR-railpass enabled... Though that would be a bit . . . er, yes. XD;

It clashes with my other plans. :( I've booked a place to stay in Hakone and am going to ~~do Tezuka's favourite thing~~ Mount Fuji...

From:

@_@

Oooh, Fuji. I'm slightly envious, but not in good enough shape yet to do more than a green skin tint. *_*

*nosy* When are you in Tokyo, anyway? Except from at the very start? :)

From:

(Trust me, Tezuka is jealous about the whole ~~mounting~~ Mount Fuji thing, too)

Arrive in Tokyo on 12th, go to Hakone/Fuji on the 14th, back to Tokyo on 17th, leaving on 19th!

From:

Har har har! >D

Woah, blitz visit! But there were lack of vacation days, yes? ^^; Are you going to Comiket at all?

summer_queen swears up and down it's possible to go there and find people, so I might try to brave the lines. Maybe. >_>

From:

Yeah, there aren't enough days. =/

I'm going to Comiket on the 18th, since that's the day with the PoT stalls. I'm already noting down where all my favourite doujinshi circles are going to be! :DDDD It's really not hard to navigate~ wanna go together?

From:

If I could give you some of mine, I would. This year's so evil at work, I can't use them all. ;O;

....YES!!! *_* If you won't mind having a mildly terrified Norskian along, that would be awesome! :D

From:

;___; I'm flying around too much this year.

8D Let's arrange it when we meet up over there!

From:

It's a date~! ♥

Can I ask (without starting wank, because I think at the moment neither you or I have the energy for it) about your sort of thought-process, I guess, in making two entries one after the other, sort of... reminding people that you're not reading them?

I'm not looking for you to justify yourself, or being aggressive about it. (You know I'm honest, above all else, and I'd just rather be honest here rather than sit and think about it quietly.)

It just feels a bit... cruel, perhaps, especially when people don't know why, or feel like they're being dubbed stupid, or have done something wrong that they don't know.

I guess it just bothers me a bit, because no-one knows whether the posts are directed towards them, and from a personal POV, it's a tiny bit hurtful (at least it feels that way) to be told twice in a row 'I'm not reading you' especially when in your first post, you say something like "Reading my flist is like a fucking insult to my intelligence, which is particularly sad considering most of the offenders are the smarter lot of you" that, and no-one knows how to take that.

I don't know. I don't want you to be offended by this. I really don't. You know I respect your honesty, as in the past we've had discussions over things, and have been mature enough not to come to blows. I guess I just wondered about your mentality, I suppose, because reminding people that you're not reading them, when (at least IMHO, they don't need to be told) just feels a bit like rubbing people's faces in it, I guess. :/

I should say, you can screen the above if you want, or not reply, or... whatever. It was just playing on my mind, and I always like to be honest, rather than stew in a sea of passive aggressive annoyance. XD

A cheering squad made of Yukimuras and Renjis may help. :D

oh wow XD; someone had too much time.. If it doesn't disturb you from other things and if it doesn't bother you.. maybe you would upload it? D: *IS tempted now*
But I wonder if it is REALLY the real version o_o

From:

It is actually important to tell people I'm not reading them. Some friends,

giving_ground, for example, has a habit of asking me things in her own entries, but she isn't on my temp reading list right now. Sometimes the things she asks are quite important (like if she can stay over for the night - although that's irrelevant atm since she's overseas. But you see what I mean.)

I admit to being extremely nasty in the post last night. But that was how I felt at the time, and although I feel a bit better now, I think that's the way it is. It was a friends-only post, and I have to assume or believe that my friends can accept a bad side of me, the side that isn't always right or rational.

As for the "stupid" thing, a lot of the time I don't say anything because I'm aware it's only a matter of opinion (eg I think announcing that one's taking x, y and z precautions in case she gets spoiled for HP is complete and utter tardness, but many others don't think so). Other times I just prefer to keep my trap shut. I am aware that there are others who I'm filtering out just because I don't feel like reading about J/KPop, what they ate for dinner and the injustice they faced at work again, and that's no fault of their own, just me being short-tempered, and they may feel I'm tarring them with the same "stupid" brush, but... I felt the need to shout "you're all stupid" without specifically saying which one of you, so that's the way it turned out.

(I go through phrases like this once a year or so, depending. You'll get used to it and eventually just ignore it. XD Some old friends are saying "oh, there you go again"...)

From:

eames.livejournal.com

Okay. Thank you for explaining, even if we don't agree. :)

(As a note, my post on LiveJournal that's about to go up is not directed against you, k?)

From:

:D

(XD okay~)

From:

I can accept that you don't want to deal with all of us sometimes, because I know I get in bad moods and all that, but I do kind of feel hurt. I shouldn't feel as bad as I do - it's not a problem that you're not reading my journal for a bit, as such, but you know I freak out over stuff and I do have a lot of insecurities about friends... it's hard for me to be rational too. It is... yeah, like

peacock says, it did sort of feel like I was having it rubbed in my face and that did feel very unpleasant, especially coupled with the comment about insulting your intelligence.

(I wasn't sure if I should say this because I know you'll feel better in a while and all that, but... I think it'll nag at me otherwise. I can kind of see where this is coming from - though I don't know what I did, specifically - but this is how I feel right now. Like you, I'm sure I'll feel better in a while.)

From:

Liz, dude, we just talked about Masa in a skirt on IM and not that long ago you stayed over at my place. Don't worry about things.

Everybody's got good and bad points and it's a matter of what one can deal with at any given time.

Right now I'm miffed about you being on holiday with Sarah because I'd been expecting myself to be there also. Which means I don't want to read about what you guys are doing over there, and therefore the filtering. That's all.
