Light Packer

I still have to pack two pairs of pants in there (they currently are at the tailors to be hemmed), but yeah, there's a lot of space in my suitcase. This is so that I have enough room for all the H!P junk and other miscellaneous Japanese souvenirs I'm bringing back home. Hehehehehe...

GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH I'm leaving for Japan early Thursday morning!

Oh My Gah... Hide posted!

XD 'bout time, Hide... I was feelin' a little lonely on this blog.

I was just testing my camera this evening...


Forgive the butchered Japanese but, 私 は バカ 見たい、ね? :miki:

What have you done to me, JAPANLAND!

Something is wrong. Seriously WRONG.

It's only a week to go but somehow I'm not at all excited. What is wrong with me!

I know it's Her graduation concert, it's Yossie's last concert with Morning Musume. Of course I'm trilled with the fact that I'll be in it, but apart from that, I don't feel anything at all. It's too STRANGE! It's Japan, the country I've been longing for for years.

What have j00 done to me, JAPANLAND!

And I haven't prepared anything for the trip yet

*sigh*

*sigh*

Just got word from erilaz about our seats for the graduation. Door 237, second floor, eighth row. Yeah. That's not even on that diagram I posted before. Here's another one:

Pros and Cons of Sunday's Seating Situation:

CON:
-B1 is in the WOTA pit. I run a high risk of having to beat down the screaming and hyper WOTAS directly around me.

-Not only but also, I know the Japanese aren't that tall anyway, but I'm really SHORT. I might have trouble seeing. :( (Yeah, I know they have those jumbotrons, but I'm gonna be focused on TEH PIMPWOLF Herself... in the flesh... *drool*

-I'm in the freaking EIGHTH ROW on the SECOND FLOOR for Yossie's graduation!!!

-My grad ticket was a FC ticket? WTF? I thought all FC tickets would be in the pit. guess not.

-Maybe I should've just asked Commie to buy my grad ticket for me. Oh well, I didn't know FC seats could be THAT bad.

PRO:
-I'm seeing the damn concert twice. Haha!

-By seeing the show from the floor and then the balcony, I should have an interesting time with the completely new view. I'm SO bringing binoculars. LOL

-One of my seats is in the pit!!!! That's probably gonna be the closest I'll EVER be to Yossie.

-The chances of this are slim to none, but maybe the cameras might get a shot of me in the balcony. XD I'll be checking to see if I can find my seating area on the concert DVD. Wahaha

-At least I know my seat location for the grad concert now, as opposed to on concert day. I'm curious to see what kinds of seats they have left when Hide and I check out the H!P Stores.

-I think the view from the top would be reaaaaaaaaaaaaally fascinating. I'll at least have a clear view of the center stage.

-I might be less likely to get caught snapping a camphone pic from the balcony... :fear: I'm kidding. I'd be too chicken to try.

Alright... enough blabbering from me. I should go to bed.

Oyossieminasai.

Edit:
Why the hell aren't my emoticons not animated anymore?! Gyahhh!

I feel like Shokotan. XD

Didn't I JUST make a post? LOL Anyway, another update. I just rented a cellphone so that I can easily stay in touch with Twin in Japanland. Even though we both went over specific meeting places, it's good to know we can still contact each other in case something unexpected happens (which will most likely happen).

I got the Sharp 703SHf model.

I'll be like the Japanese with their huge clamshell phones. XD

Hide, I'll get my cellphone number sent to me before I leave for Tokyo, so I can send it to you, too. shy1 :miki:

Afternoon Ticket

*click for bigger image*

Here's my afternoon ticket. Much thanks to Commie!

So Aqua, just look at the lower right corner of your ticket for your section and seat number. In my case, I'm in section B1, seat 64. Hope that helps!

Edit:
I'm being a blog wh0re today!

Mom's bein' all MOM again... LOL

I'm back at home for the day and my mom just got back from some RN seminar/expo. After showing me her stash of free swag, she was like, "Oh, make sure you give me all your contact information of your travel buddy and your hotel in Japan." LOL Hide, my mom's gonna have your number. XD
