So my internet goes out suddenly....and I call comcast to find out why.

"due to the high heat (107 degrees in WASHINGTON STATE?!) we are experiencing a service interruption in your area". WTF Comcast? Did your High Speed Internet server melt or something?

Oh, gawd. I uninstalled and reinstalled the sims 2 apt life today....because it was being buggy. and then, UGH! I re-laoded sims 2, only to find out that my custom content is now all nonexstent. the thrice-damned installer DELETED my downloads folder for EA-games. which means all my jrock sims, my custom politech, my awesome clothes (even the stuff I donated for)...all gone.

*sobs* It took me over a month to get all that content from all sorts of places on the net.

Gomen ne, Aikea-sama....I think I'm going to be spiking your websites bandwidth to re-dl your awesome clothes. *falls over*

Title: Fourth Season, Full Circle
Series: Gokusen drama
Pairing: Shinkumi (future)
Episode: One, part 1/?
Disclaimer: I don't own any of them. If I did, Gokusen four would be filmed with MOAR SHINKUMI!!!
Summary: Ten years after the end of her first teaching job, Yankumi is fired from yet another position, and is hired by her former employers, Shirokin Gakuen, almost immediately, but under dubious circumstances. At what used to be an all boys school, the student body is ruled by a female? Just what is going on? And what exactly does Sawada Shin have to do with all this?

For Full Circle, my epicly incomplete and future epic chaptered-fic, I'm drawing up a sort of "cast list". Basically, the dream cast for the Gokusen 4 we all WISH would be filmed, but we're kind of resigned to not getting. Thus, since I'm going to be writing the version I want to happen (XD), I'll be drawing up a cast to go with it. If you want to help me make up the extensive cast this thing is going to need to be a full-fleshed world, drop a comment at the end of this post with one (or more) of the following:

Potential character name (a first/last name combination that you would like to see show up....I suck at making up names, so I've been going with the dartboard option for the most part)
potential character type (a type of personality that you either consider a MUST for a gokusen dorama, or one you haven't seen yet in Gokusen, but think would be pretty spiffy)
pictures (images of an actor/actress you'd like to see show up at some point. please link to imageshack, and give the name the model so I can list them properly...example:

Yamashita Tomohisa~

Character bio-personality notes are subject to change without warning, as this list is just a tentative way for me (and readers) to keep track of who is who and what they look like. That said, if you don't want to potentially "spoil" yourself, DO NOT read the notes for each character, and just click on the images links instead.

So I went to the doctor today, and after, went out to eat with my mother. We officially started planning for a trip around the world, deciding which countries to visit. We're definitely going, but because we need to save up money and she needs to save up vacation time (we're going to be gone for about a month), it might not happen until 4 years.....but that doesn't stop me from excitedly making plans! :D

Since our home is on the west coast of the United States, so we're going to make our first stop be inside the continental US. I'm not as averse to the idea of traveling with my parents as one might expect, if only because they've basically given me carte blanche to choose which countries we'll visit, aside from the definite "must visit" ones they want.
~* Tentative Itinerary *~

1. Tennessee, USA. I want to see my cousin, who I last met 15 years ago when she was so cute and still in diapers. XD we'll be staying about a day.
Arrive in the morning, leave by the evening.

2. England. Where exactly in England depends on whether it's 2 years or 4 years going, since my sister will be stationed there next. If 2 years, Mom gets to choose which city. Either way, this is one of the "ethnic roots" stops on our trip, thanks to my father's side of the family. We'll be staying one night.

3. Holland, the Netherlands. We'll be staying in Amsterdam, according to my mother. Since mom is half-dutch, this is one of the stops for the "ethnic roots" part. We'll be staying one night.

4. Germany. My stepfather wants to go here, so he'll be choosing the city. Three years of high-school German will have a chance to be proven useful. Staying one night.

5. Singapore. Kai-san lives here, so I kind of want to visit and see what's so nice about the place. We'll be staying one night, and I probably won't even see him before we leave. :P

6. Thailand. The home of Golf-Mike and tame elephants! We're staying one night, as usual.

7. Taiwan. I love this country so much. Even though mom doesn't like big cities, we're probably only going to visit Taipei, since we're only staying one night, and I don't want to spend too much time in transit.

8. Japan. The final stop in the "ethnic roots" part of the tour, whether we end up in Misawa or Tokyo depends on whether my imouto is still stationed there. Either way, I'm going to be shopping in Harajuku for at least a small part of it. (amount of time spent may vary depending on how much time my mother can take off).

9. S. Korea. The last stop before we head home, we're still debating exactly where to go, because Forever Young gave us TOO MANY AWESOME RECOMMENDATONS. Though...she did say that the best places are probably either 통얘바다 (sp?) or 칭혜 (sp?). How long we spend here will depend on how much time we have left, and whether or not we decide to visit more than just those two places.

10. Home. and a well-deserved rest.

I was originally thinking of going to Vietnam and Laos, as well...but decided against it in the end. I don't think I can reasonably decide that I want to go to Vietnam based on liking of only one artist from that country...also, the only reason I ever had an interest in visiting Laos was because of D, and since he's an asshole, it would color my whole view of the visit....so for the sake of my sanity, that one's out, too.

XD Sooooooo, any good suggestions about what I should get for omiage, or what I should see while I'm on the trip? (keeping in mind that it may be four years before we actually go).

So, I finally managed to reinstall second life. Rescued my shop from the depths of hell, and made a new character!

You know how, when you sign up, you get this huge list of RANDOM surnames that you're lucky if you find maybe two that aren't weird, horribly long, difficult to spell, or impossible to remember?

In order to install SL, I downloaded it from berlin3d, which hosts the viewer on a separate site from the regular viewer that was giving me so many problems before. While I was looking at the random list, I found the PERFECT last name. Why was it perfect, you ask?

Because I was able to make CHANGMIN SHIM! Of all the surnames available, they actually had the one surname that would absolutely guarantee my inability to resist creating yet another avatar. (and this after I had already made my viskei goddess, Matsumoto Rei).

How is that for OMGness? (btw, the real life Shim Changmin is a member of the korean boyband DBSK)
this is a picture of my SL version: MIN

Also, tomorrow I visit the doctor. I think I"m going to be sick.....I hate the doctors office.

By the way, the flu SUCKS. That is all.

So I'm sick, like i've been most of the week. Thank you, my little sister, for coming home on leave and bringing your germs (which you seem immune to, but you know I have a weak system) with you.

My sore throat has gone away, so I felt well enough to youtube....so I started watching BL MVs...(what? I'm an admitted fujoushi)...and one had the hopper bros in it (which reminds me, seriously, those two need to be in an emo yaoi movie together. They've been in yaoi movies separately -and in the case of Aibou, emo-, but not together. I want them TOGETHER, DAMNIT! *whine whine tantrum*), so I got to watching aniki+aibou MVs....and then on my related videos playlist, I saw someone had misspelled kamen in the name of Kamen Rider Kabuto episode 26. I swear, I thought it said "ikemen rider"....and then I realized it actually said "kemen"....but still...don't you think "ikemen rider kabuto" would be a more appropriate name for that series? o.0 (*suddenly wants them to make a season of Ikemen Rider, just...because*)

Ow. My headache is coming back. I should stop rambling now. Night all.

I have a few random things to talk about, so...um...I'll LJ cut them separately, skip to the parts you want.
