sumire_no_hana

midoriseppen and I downloaded and watched the episode of "Sumire no Hana Saku Koro," thanks to a kind seeder from d-addicts.

Being the awesomely awesome person that she is, Vicky spliced down the video in half and uploaded to megaupload for those of you who aren't able to/don't know how to use torrents.

(Click Here to visit her LJ and find her megaupload linkies and info and all that good stuff)

I actually rather liked the show, and am a bit sad that it was a one-shot rather than a series. I would have loved for there to be more to come and for them to expand upon the story.

Surprise of all surprises, there's actually an OG in the show too! Kazahana Mai plays the dance studio instructor.

Enjoy all of the cute ways of changing publication names with the Le Cinq and Graph issues (which are the actual covers of existing books - so you have glimpses of Komu and Sena covers - simply with the publication title changed).

*edits to add*
Great... now I have Matsuken Samba stuck in my freaking head because of this show >_< .

Now I'm obligated to go watch the Senka/TMS opening performance from the 2004 sports day... And need to find a copy of the original song ^_^;

I'm not usually very picky when it comes to friending people on LJ. Generally, if you friend me and are a decent person, I'll friend you back. You don't have to comment all the time, or be swimming ALA Scrooge McDuck in a vault full of shiny. All I ask is that you're a decent and civil person. I've made some wonderful friends among you this way, and have been happy to come across such a warm and inviting group of people as you all are.

But I'm running into something lately - particularly in the past several weeks - that's kinda been bothering me a bit, and I feel a bit strange bringing it up.

Please don't take this the wrong way, and I feel as though I'm a horrible whiney bitch for even mentioning this.

I've been getting random friends requests from people who have never made a comment (here on this LJ or on any other LJ's I seem to visit). I check their LJ accounts and they've never posted anything. They've never even filled out any user info or interests. They simply... friend me....and leave it at that, I assume under the assumption that I will simply add them in return. Often it seems as though these accounts were made within the last few weeks before the attempted request.

Now I ask you, how does this look from my perspective?

I enjoy sharing scans with my friends list. I enjoy sharing clips with my friends list. But I'd rather not become the place where a leech comes just to...well... leech.

You don't have to post often or comment anywhere often, but please at least take the time and put in the effort to do more than sign up for an account and assume that I'll open my entire collection to you.
