Bye, blogger. You suck. XD

Tanjoubi Omedetou, Yossy!

Why does sites I love and understand have to go and crash on me? -_- Seriously. Facebook I can't get my head around, twitter is a pain in the ass, and now BDB messes with me too. Today, there I was, just finishing up my Yossy picspam in celebration of her birthday. And then it goes and crashes on me. 153 pictures down the drain, and I'm so used to it I don't even get angry or surprised. Why I'm still a member is beyond me... Probably because the majority of my Swedish friends is on there as well.

Not that I like this place any better, with its weird formatting, cropping of Youtube videos and deleting of half the text. When I click "publish", half the post will probably be lost. Plus you can't make hearts. -_- Anyone know of a good blog site that doesn't do that?

Anyway. Instead of a picspam, lets make a wall of text. 8D Or wall of videos, more like. ^^

You wished you looked this good. 8D

So... Yossy. What to say about her that I haven't already said? Absolutely nothing. XD She usually just renders me speechless anyway, but I generally don't mind her doing the talking... and singing.

This performance always leaves me completely breathless. Not only is Kanashimi Twilight one of the most awesome songs ever, it's Yossy's last single as a member of Momusu, and you know... just awesome. XD

Sono Deai no Tame ni. Her graduation song from Morning Musume. Oh, Yossy.

I always say I can't pick a favourite H!P-song, but this might have to be one of them. Incidentally, it's Yossy's favourite too, and this one performed at her graduation has to be the best version ever.

Okay, here's something where she doesn't sing. ^^ How many times have I watched this going "WELL OF COURSE YOU PRETTY GIRL, COME HERE AND YOU CAN HAVE AS MANY AS YOU WANT!"

XD

I love how Sayu calls Yossy "her prince" at the beginning. ^_^ Also loving Yossy's hair here.

So pretty.

I love it when Yuko cracks up. XD

I love how into it they are. XD

I'm too amused for my own good. ^^'

Okay, so lets make this the last video... then it's gotta be good. 8D Which, if Yossy is in it, it obviously is, so... ^^

Wow, it doesn't even have Yossy singing or talking. ^^' But you've had that for all the other videos, so here's silent Yossy just being that damn sexy and fierce that only she can be. 8D iitsuji also happens to be my favourite person when it comes to Yossy OPVs. (Too bad she's deleted most of her videos, but still.)

So, I suppose that's it. 8D Again...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, YOSSY!

Some Hardcore Bashing

This post is full of crap that could only come from someone who has repeatedly been hurt by Christian people. Read at your own risk.

How the devil do they do it? Have they got a “message from God” or something, saying they have to always have an impact on my life? My life and Harry Potter. Same thing though, I guess. Kinda.
It’s been four years. Four bloody years, and they still manage to get to me. One way or another. They’re like parasites. Stinky, yucky old parasites. And I hate them. I really do.

But it all makes sense. Of course. The moment Damordred said that name, I really had one of those moments where you just become rigid and cold and totally out of breath for a few seconds. Oh. Her. Of course.

She does work at a school (oh, get off it, of course she does, how would she be able to leave it all to her little henchmen?), so she should know. And she dislikes everything about this whole thing. But who was stupid enough to send an invitation to that school? With me amongst them, they should know what it’s all about. But they are stupid too, this really shows it. They’ve put themselves in such a vulnerable position, it was almost too obvious that snake would find a way to bite. But to go to those people, whom she’d probably want to beat down even more than anyone else, that is, well… just what to expect, I guess. Sadly. -_-

And what really frustrates me is that I can’t really write about this at all. It’s all hush-hush, and apparently a bit dangerous for me to even know about it. I’m sorry I’m not making sense, I really am. I wouldn’t write at all unless I really needed to get it out of my system somewhat. If it comforts you, this doesn’t help me at all.

So… wish me luck? I’ll need it.

The FOUR Musketeers… Introducing Felton!

If only. I so wish he had a bigger part. At the same time as I want him to stay in that brown wig for the rest of his life. Although he’s fine without it too. Very fine. ^__^

So… The Three Musketeers. The musical. I wanna go again. And again. And again. And this totally beats Wicked. Now I’m sure. Sorry, previous favourite musical. You’re in second place now. I can’t help it. Everything about The Three Musketeers is just so totally made of awesome. I knew it ever since I saw it the first time, I just didn’t wanna push aside Elphaba, because I love her. But now I’m doing it anyway.

It was a long time since I felt like I got so much out of a day, by the way. So I’m gonna blog about it. For realz. Almost liek a diary! (Misspelling was on purpose, yes.)

So I woke up at around four. In the bloody morning. No kidding. And it was all those Musketeers fault. Their and Albin’s. And Rochefort, but just a little. I kinda couldn’t stop thinking about how fantastic it was that I was gonna see all of them again in a few hours. I lay around trying to go back to sleep for two hours, and then the alarm went off, so I kinda failed. I was a bit worried that getting up that early would make me all tired and junk later, but luckily, it never did. I’m not even tired now. ^^’
So I made myself ready, and then biked off. Yes, I went by bike the whole way into town, because otherwise I’d have to walk back home since no busses drives that late. But I don’t mind. Maybe it’ll make me a bit thinner. ^^
But off to my beloved Stockholm I went!

When I got there, I managed to teach myself the way from the train station to the theatre, and back again. I did it all on instinct and guesses, so I’m a bit proud. ^^’ Then I went around a few shops around Plattan while waiting for Johanna and Saa-chan. I bought kexchoklad. ^^’
After a while I sat down on a bench and listened to some music while trying to look for Johanna’s hair. I thought I saw it two times, but it was someone else. XD But after a while they came, and we went off towards the Science Fiction-bokhandeln (Bookstore). We passed the Hoggy Stone and someone had made the sign of the Deathly Hallows with bandages on it. XD So awesome.
In the bookstore, I was going to buy Pokémon 4Ever, but they didn’t have that one in anymore. They had ordered it, but it got sold out in a week. Is that amazing or what? It makes me happy that Pokémon is not dead. ^_^

We stayed in that store for quite a while, looking at manga (I found Shugo Chara!), Japanese magazines (with lots of pretty lolitas and cosplay in them <3), an awesome book that I want so I can study Japanese, and, best of all, Doctor Who, The Sarah Jane Adventures and Torchwood DVDs! But… we didn’t buy anything. ^^’ We just kinda dreamed and planned on doing it. XD

Then we went to the Hoggy Fountain! ^_^ I took some pictures, but I’m lazy, so I wont put anything up. Not now, anyway.

*sings along to Hairspray’s Aquarius* x)

Ehm… ^^’ Then we went on a small hunt for a café! Eventually we found one that had pretty yummy blueberry cakes… and cute, very fat birds that was brave enough to sit across the table and eat from your plate. We need more of those brave, cute birds here.
We talked a lot about the Doctor while we sat there, which was really nice. Sometimes you need to vent your mind a little, and I don’t really have anyone to talk to about time travel-stuff around here. :P
Eventually it became too cold, so we moved to the theatre. Saa-chan was gonna get a ticket, and then we sat around and talked some more until she and Johanna had to leave. That was two hours before The Three Musketeers started, so I figured I might just as well have fun and browse some shops while I waited. But when I got outside I had another, much more brilliant idea. And I messaged Jackie! It was totally on chance, since I had no idea if she was home. It was a while since I talked to her. But she wasn’t doing anything, so she came down and we went to Wayne’s Coffee, where I had my first Cafè Latte in months. Yum.
We sat around and talked quite a lot. Well, Jackie talked, really. She’s good at that. ^^’ Not that I mind. Sometimes I’m much rather a listener than a talker. Sometimes I’m the opposite. :P

But then, then, then! It was Time! Time with a big T! T as in The Three Musketeers! XD
I said goodbye to Jackie and went into the theatre, and found my place. It was beside some stupid guy who I do believe had had a few drinks too many. Either that, or he was just really that loud and annoying and rather stupid all the time. I’ll never forgive him for ruining one of the best moments in the musical with asking the Mylady-guy to undress. Right when Albin was being gorgeous and gay Felton. ^_^ Oh well.

But I was scared to death before the musical began! O_O There was this guy in a suit who went out on stage and told everyone to shut off their mobiles.

And then he said that Johannes Bah Kuhnke had a cold.

My world totally shattered for a few seconds. (I almost thought it was a curse caused by me, Johanna and Saa-chan wishing John Barrowman to be sick so he couldn’t perform and we wouldn’t have to be horribly jealous at a girl who was going to see him that evening… ^^’) Then the guy said that Johannes would still be performing, but would need help to sing. So he more or less invited the audience to sing along, which was heaven for me, because I kinda know most of the songs by now. ^_^

But what can I say? Johannes, Andreas Kundler and Kristofer Fransson were too awesome for words, as usual. You could not hear a trace of Johannes’ cold, that’s for sure. Except one time, when I heard him cough just after leaving the stage. But he coughs like a real musketeer. ^_~
Oh, and everyone else were awesome too. My God, they really all were. Too awesome.



Now, here comes the real fawning. That which you can read above is nothing compared to what will come. I’m gonna give Albin Flinkas his own section. And it’s gonna be more than awesome. It’s gonna be every synonym to awesome, plus awesome, and even more. Because Albin is all that. Really, he is.
I’m almost getting used to writing “Albin” now. ^_^ Although sometimes I slip up and almost writes “Erik” instead. I can’t help it. Eric of Pomerania (LOL. XD Can I just call him Erik of Pommern instead? Please? x) Pomerania sounds like a fruit. XD) is my childhood hero from Salve, and Albin happened to play him. To this day my first question if I got to talk to Albin would still be “was your hair in Salve a wig?” It would be really embarrassing if he said “no”, but still. XD He does have curly hair, but I dunno if it is that blond. Colour, maybe? Then I’d ask him why he cut it. Then I’d ask him why he doesn’t grow it out again and colour it brown like the wig he wears in the musical. Then he’d believe me to be a scary, hair obsessed, stalker fangirl and have me kicked out. x)
But, I mean, seriously, I’ve never seen anything like it. I was blown away when he first appeared all bare-chested and sweaty (Where the devil did those muscles come from? He sure as hell didn’t have them in Salve. XD), but then when he came out with that long, flowing hair and awesome t-shirt (where can I get one of those?! <3), I do believe my brain went into lockdown for the whole time he was on stage. (He ran so close to where I sat, too, I think I might’ve been able to reach out and touch him. *_* Not his hair, though, he’s so tall… ^^’) And I swear no one has been able to make pink and frilly look as good on a guy as he does. x) Not giant fake breasts either, for that matter. XD
And his voice. I knew he could sing, I’ve heard him in Salve, but wow. And while he might not be able to make that awesome rock-ish scream, I just melt when he sings as Felton to Mylady. So. Frikkin’. Beautiful. Gawd.
And his acting. He’s so good. Well, everyone is, in this musical, but still. When he sat there and looked after Mylady he had this faraway, really heartbreaking look in his eyes that just made me want to run up on stage and hug him. And when they dragged him away he really did look like he was fearful of dying and stuff, but still so convinced he had done the right thing. (I’m an actress myself, that means I see things like that, aight? Or I’m just overanalyzing. XD) I have this Mary Sue-ish vision of myself being in the play, running up there in some cool costume, all cleverly distracting either D’Artagnan, the king or some of his men, steal two of their swords and single-handedly fighting everyone off and freeing Felton. Then we’ll run for it and get our own band that we can tour with, and live together happily ever after… Oh, right. Felton is gay… Why does that always happen to me? XD

And in case you didn’t get it, that was just me fooling around. ^_^

But he always seems so happy on stage. His dancing is always so jumpy and energetic. :D During the applause at the end he wasn’t able to stand still. He was adorable. ^_^
And that wraps this humongous post up, I think. XD Good night, and congratulation if you read it all through. You’ve just earned a virtual cookie. Yey! ^___^

*wanders off to dream about Albin and Mia Sue’s great adventures* XD

Kusumi Koharu

My second Morning Musume graduation is coming soon. Miki never really did it for me, so i didn't really mind. I was devastated when Yossy left. She was the first one to graduate since I got into MM, and was, and will always be, my favourite MM member.

But I was so sure that the next one to leave would be Ai-chan or Gaki, maybe even Eri or Reina. I hoped it would be Michishige, because I don't like her. But last on my list were Koha-chan, along with the eight generation of course. So I'm shocked and sad, to say the least.

I haven't always liked Koha-chan, though. When I first got into MM, I didn't care much for her. She didn't stick out to me, perhaps because I didn't care so much about finding out stuff about those other in the group that didn't really catch my attention. And back then that wasn't easy, because I pretty much only had eyes for Yossy and Reina.
Then I heard her singing, and thought she was okay, but nothing more. And then she went on the whole Kirarin Revolution-train. She became Tsukishima Kirari, and while the anime didn't manage to really get to me, Koha-chan got her own solos songs and PVs.

And I adored her.

Her kawaii-ness, how she always seem to give everything her all despite not having all that talent that Ai-chan and Eri have. She is funny. And she practically embodies my genki-way-of-life philosopy without even knowing it exists. She is a bit of an inspiraton to me, who always wants to at least try and be genki even though life doesn't seem all too colourful at times.

And I know we'll see her again. She isn't quitting showbiz. But as it sounds now, she's gonna be a model, just like Erika. And while she is more than gorgeous (an tall!) enough to pull that off, and as great as it is that she does what she wants to do, I'm gonna miss her voice so much.



Good luck, Koha-chan. If this is what you want to do, you should do it. But you always seemed so happy when you sang, and I'm gonna miss that. A lot. <3

Dreamy

Aah.... ^_^ Thank you, Johanna. I guess I owe you now. Next time I'll wish for you to dream about Theodore. And keep on hoping I don't. ^^'

So, last night Johanna and I talked on MSN, and before she left she told me to dream about David Tennant. Lo and behold (yes, I just love that expression XD), I did.
It was all really weird and made absolutely no sense, but I didn't really mind. ^^ We were at my high school, and he was an English teacher there. I know. 8D (Makes me wonder what happened to Krister Svensson. Did he finally decide to retire? I hope so, I swear that guy was worse than Professor Binns. Siriusly. XD)

Anyway, I was on my way to the school shrink (no, still don't know what "kurator" is in English... ^^'), where I have been a few times. Although this time it didn't seem like I was particulary sad about anything. Although I guess with David as a teacher, how could anyone be sad? XD
So I was just about to enter the room where you sit and talk, when I found her in there, talking to David. I don't know if he was speaking in Swedish or English, I do believe I only had eyes for him the whole dream through. ^_^ I do hope he was talking in his Scottish accent though, it would've been a shame otherwise. I do remember exactly what he wore, though. Exactly the same clothes that he wore at Comic Con, when he and John Barrowman kissed. ^^
The point is; I've had teachers with me during those talks. Well, only Kristina, but still. But the shrink asked if I wanted him to sit down with us. Weirdly enough, I was in silent fangirl mode and could only nod extremely violently, so I guess having him as a teacher wouldn't get me used to being around him. Which is not surprising. XD
The talk that followed wasn't much about me. XD We ended up talking about him as an actor and everything he have been in. But it was wonderful. And then I woke up. ; _ ;

Yes. I did try to fall asleep again. ^^'

Bit of help?

"Tea with Lemon, Honey and Ginger is my goddess." - Maddie Blaustein, former and much loved voice actor of Meowth. Also an awesome person, from what I know of her from the Serebiiforums.
R.I.P. <3 Because I never wrote about her death on this blog. I don't know if it excisted yet, back then. But it was really sad.
So I'm definitely gonna try this one out. In honour of her, you could say. :)

Anyone else got some nice (or not so nice, it doesn't really matter as long as they help) recipe for me to try out to get rid of my sore throat and find my voice again? I really need it. I haven't said anything for the last two days. It's downright tiring. XD
