Life and times of the Asuka.
-Daddy Dearest decided he didn't like the rented apartment we have lived in since I was 1 year old (yeah, so about ... a lot of years) or the neighborhood (which hasn't changed at all) and got and bought another apartment. It's not too far from here, there's a bus and everything, blah di blah. Sounds okay, yeah? Except the building is at the bottom of a hill-slope AND the apartment is on the ground floor AND I get the room that faces the hill, so I'm losing my view of the sky and restful green trees to gain a view of a small grassy slope, an ugly tar path where people sometimes walk, a line of boxy-looking garages, and more unpretty hill. Sky? Hah.
What bugs me the most is that the path is on the same level as my goddamn window, or even a little higher, meaning anyone who walks by can look down and see me plain as day. Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaate. Goodbye, days of making faces at the computer, scratching various scratchy bits of my anatomy, and walking around in my bedroom in my underwear. That, or goodbye sunlight. My god, summer will kill me.
(It's kinda cute to see my dad fangirling over wooden planks, floor plans and prettily-shaped windows, though. Of course I would like it more if he didn't need an audience for his deep ponderings over whether this color is better than that color. Dad, I'm the artist of the family and I can't see any difference, as long as it's not flammable or toxic just take the cheapest. DX )

askerian: all these years i stupidly thought that grapefruit = sorta like grape, and when they said "the size of a grapefruit," um, strange way to mean a cluster of grapes? and, no. It's an orange.
askerian: u____u;;;;
sarolynne: XDDDDD
sarolynne: Well, it's a citrus fruit, yeah. XD
sarolynne: ...I. Don't know what they're called in French, actually.
askerian: i knew the french name up until three seconds ago.
askerian: of course now i can'tPAMPLEMOUSSE
sarolynne: ...XDDDD
askerian: ... stupid brain.
sarolynne: I honestly have no idea why we call it a grapefruit.
sarolynne: It is nothing at all like a grape.
askerian: Wiki says it's because they grow in grape-like clusters on their tress.
askerian: *knows this now! All Hail Wiki.*
sarolynne: Yay, wiki!
sarolynne: ...However, pamplemousse is kind of a funny word to me. For some reason. Like. It looks like it should be the name of a cartoon character or something. Or a nonsense word. I dunno why.
askerian: pamplemousse makes me think it should be the name of one of those mexican mice in old speezy gonzales cartoons...
askerian: It has this kind of spanish/portuguese sound to it.
-Why do I still have "X years after Garou" bunnies. Especially of the "let's invite Wufei in" variety. I'm so bad. XD;;; (but! there are sexy, exhausting, sweat-inducing, shower-needing three-way sparring sessions... ;__;)
-EDIT
On trying to decide what to RP ...
sarolynne: I'm torn. NaruSasu sounds good, but then, NaruNeji sounds... not much worse, and easier. On the other hand, true to the nature of the inspiration, a part of my mind is going "love dodecahedron!"
askerian: LMAO.
askerian: yeah but we'd have to play them all
sarolynne: That would be annoying.
sarolynne: Okay, so we'll ignore my urge to harem it out. XD
sarolynne: Because, clearly, who needs NaruSasu or SasuNeji when you can have NaruSasu/NaruNeji/SasuNeji/ItaSasu/ItaNeji/SasuSaku/SakuIno/InoNaru and so on and so forth, until they all have syphilis.

(et c'est là que tu te dis que de temps à autres, tu devrais ouvrir ton dictionnaire au lieu de penser que ouais, grapefruit c'est assez imagé ce que ça veut dire, pas besoin...)
Oh God... un pamplemousse...
(en même temps, si maintenant on sait pourquoi ça s'appelle grapefruit, ça me fait me demander pourquoi ça s'appelle pamplemousse ! :D)
no subject
(... putain maintenant je vais pas arrêter de me demander la même chose. Bon ben Wikipedia...
AHA!
Le mot « pamplemousse » est emprunté au néerlandais « pompelmoes », lui-même composé à l’aide de pompel, « gros », et limoes, « citron ».
Bon ben on se couchera moins connes ce soir. Je suis soulagée.)

("gros citron", en plus, ça se tient comme explication
plus que grapefruit, kss)
