So. Wonderful things have been happening to me today.
First -
Friend: hey. do you wanna swap iPods?
Me: *instantly suspicious* what for??
Friend: I just realize I haven't downloaded Love So Sweet and I wanna listen ot some Arashi! ^_^

InnerMai: ZOMG SUGOI HONTO NI??? YESSSSS I LOVE YOU FOREVERRRR!!!!!!!!!!*puts hand in pocket in order to get iPod ready to give*

...Aaaaaaaanddd there you have it! The makings of a new fangirl!! Also since we swapped iPods, I currently have my grubby fingers on a brandspankin' new 8gb iPod Touch!!!! I can't believe that she wanted to swap my normal iPod classic for that. XDDD
SOOO YAAAAAAAAAYYYY. I wonder what she's gonna think of my music. XDDDD

Second -
While I was on the phone today, I was sending an email to a friend and after it sent I went back to my inbox to check my new mail and all of a sudden a new message popped up at the top.
InnerMai: BIKURISHTA!
I look again...."This is a notification email from YesAsia: your order has just been shipped."

...that is the kind of person I am when it comes to keeping up with Arashi news and rumors. So when I somehow found out about Sakurai Sho and Kobayashi Mao, my first reaction was to say,"When did that happen???" The rumor apparently came out last November. Three months ago. Sugoi. I never thought it would happen.

Arashi is an amazing group. Like a lot of musicians, their music bring people together who never could have found each other without it. Each individual member brings a certain shine to the whole and their camaraderie with each other and dedication to their craft is enviable. It is those qualities (and also because of an incredibly awesome marketing and managing company. Thanks Johnny's!) that have helped create an insanely loyal fanbase. Proudly will I say that I am one of them. :p At this current point in time, my declared ichiban is Sakurai Sho. Like many other girls who are obsessed with male idols, the hope that the impossible could be possible (ie. meeting and getting to personally know your idol) keeps us pretty happy all the time. We don't want to own them, we just really admire them for being who they are.

But, I sometimes wonder if my obsessions get the best of me. Because idols are people just like the rest of us, you always say that you want them to find someone and be happy. But when they do, the last person that is happy is you. And it's amazing! Because you don't know him. He just happens to be someone whom you admire and whose music you like. There is no other possible claim that you can lay on him. And yet when they find someone else you are disappointed all the same.

Yes. I am just about as obsessed as any other fangirl out there. I guess I'm just one of the few who get caught up in it so easily. XD

Sorry for the rant! Had to let it out though.

*le sigh*
