Wow. I didn’t think it was possible but Trump actually trumped his own idiocy with this.
Donald Trump, warning all women of the world to avoid alone time with him.
^^^
Rape: What happens when you put men and women together
Hear that, guys?
You’re all rapists.
Any woman or girl who works with you or goes to school with you or visits your house because they’re your daughter’s friend or is riding the bus with you or is standing in line with you at the movie theater is risking rape because of their proximity to you and your penis, because all men rape, and all men cannot not rape, including you. You and your brother and your dad and your uncle and your cousin and your nephew and your son and your grandfather and your best friends are all rapists, according to (the real) Donald J. Trump.
That’s what Trump is saying about men. That’s what Trump is saying about you.
It’s not feminists who call all men rapists, it’s men like Trump.
You are my Senpai
My only senpai
You give me dokis
And shades of grey
You’ll never notice me
But I still love you
You’re sugoi, kawaii desu ne
finally done the story of the “virgin” mary and her immaculate conception for my sequential art final. very happy with how this came out/that it’s finished.
this is beautiful, good job!
This is actually how I said it probably happened.
I just laughed myself into space
Somehow I found this really creepy. Like a creepy Wolverine with a beatles-styled hairdo.
serial killer sloth lookout! HIDE YOUR PUSSY - i mean whut
Despite its name, the maned wolf is not a wolf at all, nor is it a fox, coyote, or dog. It is the only member of the Chrysocyon genus, making it a truly unique animal, not closely related to any other living canid. One hypothesis for this is that the maned wolf is the last surviving species of the Pleistocene Extinction, which wiped out all other large canids from the continent.
oh my gosh
they look like runway model foxes
that fox-lookalike is fierce, man!
SO THIS IS WHAT EVERYONE WAS THINKING OF COURSE
“I might ship them” YOU JUST KILLED ME, GIULIA

Best post on tumblr.
cant unsee…..
just a friendly reminder that you don’t have to justify your taste in music, movies, or books to anyone and if certain people make you feel bad or ashamed over stuff you like you should probably just tell them to fuck off

yes thats my happeh dance, and yus the song is overly appropriate and cliché and IDGAF IF ITS ONLY A SMALL SPOT- ONE STEP CLOSER TO MY DREAMS!!! NANTONAKU!!!!!!! Recorded Feb 9th 2011
Song – Big In Japan (feat. Idoling!!!) by Martin Solveig & Dragonette
I also spent the day with fellow eighter, Masami-chan<3 i believe i met her through a penpal site, it doesnt matter tho. shes hilarious, adorable, eighter, johnnyota, and has so much in common with me its crazy! she has stomach problems too! (not that thats a good thing, we just bonded over our hating having to take pills everyday! MENDOKUSAI!) she is also gunna help me get concert/butai tickets! possibly for kisumai and marus butai! ahhhh so excited omg!! love her<3 enjoy our pretty purikura!!
….
Speaking of BIG NEWS; Bakanishi and Meisa…. got married last week and Meisa is preggers (shotgun wedding strikes again!!! OH NOEZ)
My first thought: bakanishi and meisa will have such gorgeous offspring omg *0* want !!!11!!11one!!!!! can i get a new duet single/sexy pv together too while we’re at it?
My second thought: dear akame fans, can you give up now?
This news actually makes me happy, because im such a big fan of Kuroki Meisa, i listen to her music EVERYDAY, and though Bakanishi is sexy, I have such a BIG girl crush on her its crazy. She is basically neck and neck with Leah Dizon for girl I would turn gay for hahaha!
tl;dr – awesome day was awesome!!!!!
I haven’t even been here a week and I have an interview with Group Echo tomorrow morning for a possible spot on the NHK tv program called, “TV de Kiso (Basic) Eigo(English)”. So excited, I can’t even! I hope the client picks me! I do have to train it all the way to Gotanno station though… that should be interesting, roughly an hour away and like 4 transfers?
Plus the additional three agency interviews next week!
And I’m meeting up with all my Tokyo penpals this week too! Suddenly I went from being lonely and lazy at home by myself, to very very busy and social XD
I’m uploading the vlog I recorded today, but in case you haven’t seen the first one yet, enjoy!
ブリュレ?!
Yeah this is a first, today on my date with Yukari-chan an Asian tried to hit on me, and his white friend tried to pick up Yukari. Needless to say it was a fail, but an amusing fail.
“Your hair reminds me of creme brûlée, I wanna eat it.”
Points for creativity? slightly creepy but creative none the less. He actually wasn’t bad looking, kinda cute but nothing special aside from his choice of pick-up lines~ but this was a random guy that came up to us in the food court. He had plenty of food options, yet he chose my hair ;__; AND he kept touching my ginger ale bottle… don’t touch my life!!! Also my food got cold because he couldn’t take a hint – and by hint I mean I told him he was weird, only cause I said it in Japanese first to Yukari, and he got nosy. oops~ ”ちょっと変だけど
lol okay I was pretty flattered but yes no luck for him cause I’m moving to Japan the day after tomorrow!
2 DAYS?! まじで?!WHERE DID THE TIME GO?!
I can’t even- I’m not even super excited anymore and I don’t know why. Fear? More like numb? Thankfully Mum took tomorrow off so she could help me pack. She knows her daughter too well; pro procrastinator ftw X’D
My going-away party was awesome though<3 I love my friends, new and old, I’m so grateful to everyone, never forget that because I wont!
You might get another post outta me before I leave Canada; if I have enough energy tomorrow, if not you know where you’ll find me!
SEE YOU ALL IN JAPAN LOVELYS!!!
みなあいたいの~!!もうすぐ
Enjoy some nice shots from recent shoots<3

Yeah, really.
I’m making all my old livejournal posts private and bringing the positivity to a new clean slate. (Even so this day has been a very stressful day in the wake of the Megaupload Cyber War.)
I am dedicating this new blog to my life, travels and career in Japan as an aspiring model and gaijin talent. I will be moving to the Mejio area of Tokyo as of Feb 2nd (omg t-minus 2 weeks).
I decided to abandon my old blog “Gingerale and Drugs” because it was too solely focused on my chronic pain and livejournal was nothing but negativity. (I will still post at lj for the more personal side of things but only selected individuals can view those anyway). I want this blog to follow me through the becoming of the new me, and all the potential I still have left despite the health issues.
Time to focus on the positive things!
Like how I just signed a 1 year local contract with Numa Models!!
So… I’m kinda legit now… HAHA !!
If you don’t know me, my name is Kristy or mysticwater (or some variation of that) as it has been my net name for the past 10 years or so.
If you have known me long enough you are probably wondering ‘Why suddenly the modeling thing? I thought she hated skirts/shoes/herself/etc?’
“It’s taken me a long time to appreciate and love myself. For the longest time I didn’t like how I looked, and I honestly thought I was ugly. It’s only been recently that I’ve learned to love myself and finally actually believe people when they tell me I’m gorgeous. Part of me wants to do this for my past self that used to hate the way she looked and let people walk all over her and every bully that ever dragged me down. But I also want others to find self-esteem like I have, and chase their dreams and pursue knowledge, never giving up when things are hard. And what better way to do that than to enter a modeling world. If I can make a career out of feeling good about myself and looking pretty I definitely want to try.” - me, 2011
I have a good chunk of experience now, a good years worth anyway. I’ve done prosthetics and runways work here in Vancouver. As well as professional workshops and photo-shoots; so I’m always looking to outdo previous shots and improve my portfolio. I am now aiming to work with other creative and talented individuals from around the world, starting with Japan.
The reason I want to be a model hasn’t changed, but I have realized this is what I truly love to do. Its my dream. I’ve never had a dream before, not one like this, one that most would believe unattainable. Writing, I love it when the writers block gives me a break, sure. But modeling and being in front of the camera makes me truly happy. You could say I don’t want to be forgotten.
Another question I get asked a lot (out of doubt of course) is ‘How are you going to live in Japan with your pain? Aren’t you scared?’
I’ve had chronic pelvic pain for the past 4 years now. I’ve had my ups and certainly plenty of downs. The chronic pain I have is pretty much classified as a syndrome or disease. It’s my nocioceptors misfiring and danger signals continuing to fire within the brain when they shouldn’t. Mood and external health are big factors when trying to manage chronic pain. It’s actually encouraged I go to a different environment and stay distracted (so long as i dont over do anything) they think its possible to reduce my pain level/threshold.
I’m going with lots of prescriptions drugs like T3s and cesamet (pot pills) for the really bad days. Pain management aside, I am scared shitless to be honest, but I need to learn to be independent or I’ll be stuck for the rest of my life. Even when it hurts I gotta push forward or there is no point in living.
But thats not what this blog is about, I’m gunna try to keep my focus off my pain best as possible, because thats not me, its just something I have to live with and most people I meet dont even notice.
A lot of people are not fortunate enough to realize what they want in life, many of them realized what they missed on their death bed. For those of us that knows what we want, the stupidest thing to do is to know what we want and not actively pursue our goal.
I found mine and I plan to grab it with all the strength I have left!
LIFE IS GREAT! BRING IT ON!

bloody amazing!
arriving in style for his birthday.
ohkura,
i don’t think i have ever written you a birthday entry even after all these years. i guess it was because you have tonnes of stans that i see no immediate necessity to do so. sorry dude. and sorry i still call you ‘ohkura’ when every other dude in the group got kawaii nicknames. well, not really, but you got what i mean.
don’t get me wrong though, i adore you. i really do.
thank you, ohkura, for always being there, watching them ossans from the back. thank you for supporting them in your own ways. thank you for making yoko do things like he doesn’t usually do. thank you for hanging out with hina, it must’ve been scary hanging out with a gorilla. thank you for making subaru stupid happy. thank you for always laughing your ass off at maru’s mehhh jokes. thank you for telling us that yasu is the seme in your relationship with his one hand driving and date planning. thank you for getting it down and dirty with ryo in torn porn.
have a nice birthday, dude. happy birthday.
lol, the picture where Kura shows Maru’s bite! (47 tour, Maru was dead drunk and about to kiss all the members and Kura didn’t want it. Maru then bit his shoulder. XD)

Posted this on Twitter over a year ago. I figured it would make an appropriate birthday post.
