Once again, happy New Year, flist! I had an all-together lovely 2013, and I hope 2014 is even better!

I've been, for all intents and purposes, away from the internet at large, so I have a lot of catching up to do. I think I've gotten back to all the comments I've gotten in the past week or so, so if I missed you, please let me know! I haven't been getting notifications reliably, so if I didn't respond, it's probably just that I haven't seen your comment! @___@; And then, I have a pretty long to do list, and I'm going to try to get to it mostly in this order:
☆ unpack
☆ hang up new posters/posters that fell while I was gone
☆ post hols fic on my LJ/to AO3, etc
☆ Do the fanfic New Year's meme
☆ Johnny's Countdown 2013-2014 report
☆ post about Hawaii
☆ post about Tokyo/New Years
☆ post recent development thoughts about the 2015 volleyball debut

I'm probably missing some things, but that's the gist of it. XD; I'm really sorry about my prolonged absence, but since I'm off from work until the 7th, hopefully, over the next few days, I'll be able to catch up with life and get back into the swing of things.

In the meanwhile, a big thank you to nekobot01 for the beautiful scarf and the card! I was really touched when I read it, and I'm always happy to get more things to keep me warm. And yes, I like pink! ♥ Thanks so much.

Also, I've basically been trying to avoid thinking about Johnny's West 7, but I can't really avoid it entirely, so have some more thoughts, though I'm not sure if they're pros or cons.

Prawns! (not pr0nz, sorry):
❄ Hopefully this will leave room for more Tokyo Junior promotions maybe...?
❄ I got my wish for a debuted Johnny's talent born in 1989... yoroshiku, Kiriyama.
❄ Not sure if I want them to go to Ijima or Julie...
❄ I'm honestly surprised at how few people I'm seeing around the internet seem even a little sad about 7West. Considering the fallouts from Ya-ya-yah and B.I.Shadow, it's just surprising to me, even though I know nothing about 7West. I'm not saying this to be judgy or anything like that, I'm just honestly surprised by it.
❄ I have a policy of no negative thoughts towards groups because, no matter what, the group is the most important thing in Johnny's, so I obviously wish Johnny's West 4 well, but I have to admit that more than anything, this makes my heart go out to Fujii and Kamiyama.

MOVING RIGHT ALONG, tonight is Yugo's show! Jidaigeki + Yugo = I'm embarrassingly excited! Even if it is five hours. >__>; Hopefully gets a lot of screen time! I just know he'll do amazingly. ♥

Oh, and before I head to go unpack, what the heck is up with "Sexy Second"?? It sounds like "sloppy seconds" lol. Sexy Zone, y u gotta make it so embarrassing for me to be your fan.
