I aM tHe WaLrUs

[KERFUFFLE]

I'm having a really long bath with a bath bomb and a face mask, followed by some lunch, crashing on the couch with a couple of Ghibli movies.

I've thought that I might play guitar instead of being in We Will Rock You. It'd be awesome, being the female Brian May! xD

"Life away from New York was hard. Everything I knew and loved was gone, just like that.. It's home now, and you were there, along with half of me.. How can you be somewhere if half of your heart [John Mayer 8D] is where you left it..?" Asher said thoughtfully. "That was nice of them, to fill in for you. Not everyone would be so understanding."

 

[Bunny_grl07]

YES! Is Spirited Away one of the movies? (I love Ghibli films!)

Either way you go will be great for you! it would definitely be cool to play guitar, seeing as it's a guitar heavy show (so I assume)

[YAY for music references! We definitely were pulling a John Lennon a couple posts back ] Lucy nodded and gave him a gentle kiss, then said, "Well, i don't plan on going anywhere unless I can take you along with me, and I'm thinking you feel the same way. So you don't have to go far away from home again." She cuddled closer to him then nodded in agreement. "After everything that happened-- they still think you're dead-- they thought it would be best to give me my birthday and the day after off. My work ethic was suffering, and they could tell I was very tired, physically and emotionally."

 

[KERFUFFLE]

Yes. I only watched one, because it was such a nice day outside. But it was Spirited Away.

I want to get Howl's Moving Castle next

Yeah, exactly. I think I'll have more chance in that than landing a decent role.. We'll see. It's still not until the year after next school year, so I've got plenty of time to decide =D

[Yay, indeed ] Asher smiled, returning the kiss. "I know you don't. Neither of us do, I'm sure of that," he said, chuckled. "Not that I ever planned to be away from you. I really was beginning to think I'd be lucky, that I'd not be called. And then that man just turned up at the door.. And my life literally crashed down on me in that instant.. And with every word he spoke, I swear, my heart felt like it was being ripped in two, and I couldn't breathe."

 

[Bunny_grl07]

SPIRITED AWAY!!! I love that movie! I think it's so funny though, because when Chihiro speaks, I picture Lilo from "Lilo and Stitch" because they're the same voice actress.

I have yet to see Howl's Moving Castle Dx

Plus, it'll give you more time to work on singing and such. =)

Edit: nevermind, I've got some time

Lucy nodded and said, "the instant I saw him, I just knew what was going to happen. And then it's like I went deaf. There was no noise, everything was just silent. And all I could do was watch, and then cry. It's was so hard for me to deal with, knowing that you were going to leave me. I was scared for you, because Richard had told me how things were over there, and he was in one of the combat units. I felt like I had been punched in the stomach."

 

[KERFUFFLE]

I always watch anime in Japanese, unless I'm with someone who doesn't like it. It's out of habit because, even though the Ghibli ones are much more up market, so many animes have the most terrible English voice acting and I can't stand to watch it.

But, yeah, Chihiro is the voice of Lilo, too, and it's funny.

It's amaaazingggg, and Howl is a babe xD I also own Princess Mononoke. Incredible. It's not as lighthearted as Spirited Away but the animation and storyline is breathtaking.

Asher nodded solemnly. "I never could have imagined it to be as bad as it really was.. I was so out if my element, everything was so wrong, so alien to me. And I never got used to it, even after a whole year," he said. "And then there are others who are completely prepared to slaughter others mercilessly. I can't understand that."

 

[Bunny_grl07]

xD I understand. Although I love the english voice acting for Hetalia Axis Powers. Yay for stereotypical accents!!!! Oh, and Azumanga Daioh

Princess Mononoke is AWESOME! I wish I could be that hard core.

Lucy smiled and said, "Those people won't know what life's really all about, Asher. They don't know what it's like to be as loving and caring as so many other people are. And, you know... I'm just glad you're home. And we're getting married, and I know it'll feel right when we do get married. And sometimes we will go out of our comfort zones, but never in a way as harsh as that."

 

[KERFUFFLE]

I wouldn't know, I haven't watched it yet. :L

She is amazing <3

"I still can't believe that. I can't understand how anybody could be like that. It's just me, really, and the way I see things," Asher said. "And I know you're glad that I'm home, and I'm glad to be home. We've definitely said it plenty of times," he laughed. "But I'm ready to move on from that year of hell and get on with my life now."

 

[Bunny_grl07]

Ah! You need to! It's definitely good for some laughs

I swear though, somehow I always end up crying during Miyazaki's films. Sad moments, happy moments-- agh!

"I can't help saying it-- I feel like screaming it at the top of my lungs-- you know I would, if the neighbors wouldn't complain so much. I swear, I've never felt this happy in my entire life. And you're the one to thank for it! I never thought that I would have a life, after what I went through back home. But then I moved here, and a year later we met, and... you changed the way I look at things. With your artistic view, you showed me how to take risks again, and how to learn that a life isn't worth anything unless you live it. And I want to thank you for that-- I have for a very long time. I never knew if I could say it right, or if I'd ever even get the chance. Thank you for everything."

 

[KERFUFFLE]

I still need to finish Fushigi Yuugi. I can't believe I haven't even watched any this whole summer, and I've already been off three and a half weeks xD

That's scary, though. Only two and a half weeks left of summer, and so much to do DDD:

"I'm not the only one to thank. Besides, you don't have to thank me at all, I'm just being me, hopefully a good boyfriend, and everything you do for me in return is thanks enough," Asher replied, a slight red tint coming to his cheeks at what she'd said. He really didn't think he deserved to be thanked for anything he'd done for her., because it never felt like he did it because he had to or because he should, but because he wanted to and it came naturally to him.

 

[Bunny_grl07]

Two and a half weeks? Gosh, time flies! D:

Lucy smiled and gave him a kiss, and then she told him, "I don't have to thank you, but I want to thank you. And I do what I want, so it makes sense to me. Now, how about we go out and do something today? Or would you rather rest up today?" She started running her fingers through his hair absentmindedly, smiling from ear to ear as she did so. She knew that he probably was pushing the compliments away, and she also knew that he might never understand the inexplicable and beautiful ways that he helped her to grow up.

 

[KERFUFFLE]

It's scary. And, not only that, but I'd already been to Germany so I've been off school for more than a month.. I hate how quickly the time goes, it's horrible. I'm really not ready to even think about working as hard as I did again D:

"That all depends on what you have in mind. I'm quite happy to go somewhere, if you like," Asher said, returning her kiss momentarily, then sat quietly and waited to see what they could come up with.

 

[Bunny_grl07]

Time is crazy. Sometimes it feels like it takes forever to get through a day, but then you look and you've already passed through months!

Lucy said, "Well, we could go to the museum, or the park. Or we could just go for a walk together. Or, if you want to get really crazy, I could drive us out to your parents place, and then we could head to my place. It'll be like a road trip! We both need to just get away for a while and have some fun!"

 

[KERFUFFLE]

Yeah, exactly! I hate it :S

I'm feeling so much better now, we had some awesome news that there's a way to tame down Dad's Parkinsons for the short term, and a breakthrough operation whenever he needs it after that to help him. And I had so much fun at guitar today. I'm so happy =D

"Well, we do need to go on a roadtrip soon, to both sets of parents," Asher smiled, "Maybe if we get packing, head out in the late afternoon, find somewhere to stop for dinner on the way, and then we'll set off again. Oh, and I'd like to drive at least part of it, when I can, I miss driving. I mean, I'm only allowed to for a certain amount of time, but all the same, I'd like to."

 

[Bunny_grl07]

I'm so happy for you! That's such great news!!! =D

Lucy grinned and nodded excitedly, jumping up off of the bed and dragging out her suitcase, and then getting one for Asher. "All right then, we'd better start packing right now! I'll make sure to bring only what I need, I promise. Oh, and you'll need to bring something smart to wear when you meet my parents. They're very much the dress shirt and slacks type when it comes to meeting the family. And I guess I can let you drive my baby for a little while." She laughed, then started packing clothes and toiletries into her suitcase.

 

[KERFUFFLE]

Sorry about that, Masterchef was on xD

Isn't it? I'm so pleased

"Calm down, we have plenty of time," Asher said, chuckling quietly, getting off the bed and grabbing the suitcase she'd gotten out for him, pulling it over to pack his clothes. "I was planning on wearing something smart, anyway," he replied, "And you'd better let me, or I won't be too pleased." He laughed as he began packing things quickly into his case.

 

[Bunny_grl07]

That's okie dokie! =)

I would be pleased too! :3

I might be leaving soon to get some new clothes

Lucy said, "I'm too happy to calm down! I feel like I could fly. Like, if I jumped out the window, I would just fly in to the sky, all the way over the city-- of course, I'd take you along, because it would be amazing!" She put in everything she needed, then tried to close the suitcase, sitting on top of it so that it would latch properly. "I'll probably let you drive when we get closer to your home, or at least halfway there."

 

[KERFUFFLE]

Okay When you do, have fun!

Asher smiled, chuckling. He loved her energy, he always had. She always made his spirits lift whenever she was like this. His suitcase was a little less full than hers, but that wasn't to say he was bad at packing, not bringing enough, the way many men were. No, he had plenty. "I can't drive tonight, anyway, the doctor sent the painkillers today, they'll knock me out," he laughed.

 

[Bunny_grl07]

Actually, I decided against it. xD Me and my mom are probably going to do our shopping Friday

"Good, so I won't have to listen to you talk when I'm driving," Lucy joked, laughing as she spoke to him. "I'm kidding, I'm kidding. But that means that I'll have free choice of the radio station in the car, which will be great!" The funny thing was, they listened to most of the same music anyway, so it really didn't matter what station they listened to. That was one of the many things Lucy loved about Asher. They had awesome taste in music.

 

[KERFUFFLE]

Oh. I wondered why I came back and you were still here. That's awesome for me, though, because then you'll still be here

"Oh, so that's how it is," Asher eyed her playfully, putting on a scowling expression. "But you know it also means no kiss goodnight, or anything of the sort if I take them early, and then you'll be sorry," he chuckled. "And, as for the radio, that's fine, until it's my turn to drive, and then it's Zeppelin all the way home."

 

[Bunny_grl07]

Aw, thanks!

I watched Princess and the Frog last night, and I'm thinking of watching it AGAIN later. Prince Navin is just amazing! Definitely the best Dinsey Prince

Lucy said, "Too bad I like Zeppelin, so the joke's on you!" She stuck out her tongue at him, then playfully swatted his leg. But then she put on her best puppy dog face and said, "Please don't take away my goodnight kiss! It just won't be right, not getting one before I sleep. And I don't even like the thought of not getting one." She sighed softly, then looked up at him from under her lashes. However, she was trying her hardest not to burst into laughter.
