when there's no getting over that rainbow

Classes start again on Thursday. I've really got to start working on my school sleep cycle. That means no more sleeping in 'til 1PM. DD:

( For change417 & genuyn~ Birthdays!! )

Sorry if the gifts look a little wonky on this transparent layout. I'm not quite used to it either! XD

Speaking of layouts, new layout for me! In the midst of sulking about my entry for the layout contest, I decided to work on my own. XD (No, really, if you see a rather lame-looking layout, don't vote for it. It's probably mine. By the time I noticed everything I did to it made it worse, it was too late. LOL.) I think it's been over a year since I've changed it? It only looks right with the LJ navigation bar, but other than that I think the time spent on it was worth it. :D More Ninos! Do I ever change?

Okay, so I really only meant to spend 30 minutes on my userinfo. It was really cluttered and just, messy. But then, 30 minutes became 3 hours. @@;; Why? Because I fail at tables. Nothing I did looked right. I'm also anal and can't leave a project unfinished (I wish that applied to schoolwork). ..But anyway, it's all better now and I'm nice and happy. XD

( How difficult must they make it? )

My suffering is no longer. ^_________^ Can I just say I was absolutely speechless? I was in a WIDE grin all day.

As I was opening up the package, my mom was sitting nearby and kept asking if the package contained my graduation supplies. XD I was like, "No, mom. *__*" and continued opening up the package. My sister told her it was my calendar/cookbook and my mom ended up shaking her head at it. LOL. Don't worry Mom, I'll make sure I make Nino's 'very complicated' Salted Butter Toast for you. :D

The first thing I did with it was hug the box. XD I also made sure I washed my hands (with soap) and dried it completely before I even touched the contents. Overprotective, maybe? Ahaha. I was so going to dig my grave if the orange elastic band around the calendar snapped. XD It almost did, too. Of course, I did a "whew". ^^ I'll protect it with my life dangit!

Anyway, I ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT. Only Arashi would have pictures of them playing with giant playing cards in a calendar. And the SUITS. With the TIES! [dies] The individual pages with the 'accurately translated' (WHAT?) interview is just ♥. Well, I.. I just love everything about the calendar. I'm not letting a pen go near it, ever. LOL. So what will I use it for? To sit and stare at the blinding pretty.

It's so full of shiny member love, especially the cookbook. ♥ I love LOVE how they incorporated the photos that each of the members took of each other. :3 It's so.. Ah.. [flips through it again]

I couldn't even type out this entire entry without pausing to look at the shiny several times. But why the cheap binding, calendar staff?! >3> My clumsy hands have to be on their best behavior from now on. D: I doubt I'll even have half of the ingredients in the recipes but I'll try 'em anyway! Off to the kitchen!

Also, new layout! I had to say goodbye to smexy wintry Nino. ;-; He was loved for many months but it's just not snowing anymore. So, hello to spring-y Ohmiya! *__* The layout's very pink, but I'm sure I'll get used to it. :D

New layout! :DD It's the epitome of simple but who cares? It's NINO. There are absolutely no words that can describe how much I love this picture. So now, every time I check my livejournal goodies, I'll die a little bit at a time. :) But it's all good. Because it's Nino. LOL, I'm not even making sense! I blame it on the Potato photo shoot staff. And Nino. [runs off to pretend she's looking at LJ entries but is in fact staring at her layout]

So my last layout was bright and peachy, but I quickly got tired of that. Can you believe it's been less than two months of that layout? O_O But anyways, I decided with a green-ish layout, and of course featuring Arashi! Ahaha... oh man they're definitely taking over my life. But I can't help it! =D I'll probably keep this one for a while. :)

On another note, I about died at tennis practice today! What kind of coach tells me to play against the number 1 player on the team for an hour and a half, condition us with crazy drills, and THEN on top of that, make us run two laps around the courts! CRAZY, I tell ya! >:O!
