Well, I was wondering yesterday what I wanted to do with my journal... I want to keep it as it is... I am fine with the way things are going since the awful event a couple of weeks ago.

The thing is that when I scan magazines or photos or pamphlets I do it to share but I don't want anything like the yt thing happening and I don't feel comfortable posting in communities with my journal any more... so well, I can't promise I will be a good maintainer, I will try my best...

So yes, a comm for scans!

So well, although I may post the scans here anyway (not sure, probably I may just link there), I will post them mainly there. My idea is keeping it friends only but well maybe I need to open posts for a little bit for people to know it exist...

There is an introductory post you should read. Membership it moderated and all that. YOU MUST READ, COMMENT IN THAT POST FOR ME TO ADD YOU! (and click join, of course) and of course follow the rules...

Here: tokei_umbrella

Why that name? It's one of my fav songs and it sounded cute and not very obvious is you are not an Arashi fan ^^

I will lock this post later...

First of all, I have to thank kangsadanamm whoever that person is for ruining my day, my week and probably my month. Second, also hope she feels pretty good after she/he/whoever made me took this decision.

I am sorry, deeply sorry but there won't be more sharing stuff from me, at least not the way it have been until now because it's pretty obvious that some people don't know how to read or understand some simple rules, and above all doesn't know how to read the atmosphere or place themselves in the shoes of the person posting stuff...

I shouldn't have made a search because I would be happier than I am now, but I did, don't know why and found this:



They are already gone and the account suspended which for me is small consolation... Because, first... I don't include the don't stream in every single post but I did put it in some and there wasn't just one thing there!! Second, if I ask for credit I say put 'ginger' or 'ginger001' but NOT THE FREAKING URL!!! THE NOT LINKING BACK IS SOMETHING YOU DON'T GET OR WHAT!?

And even more... Don't you think that if I want to put the stuff up in the FREAKING YT I could have done it myself!!! For pete's sake what's wrong with people!!! 18 videos!!!! All of them can't be from here, but... seriously!! (now I am afraid they link that user name in yt to me when I don't f***ing know this person!!!! because I am paranoid this way)

Can't you suspect that the locking of posts, the not wanting you to use my mf links and asking you to get your own... and the not linking back, may means that I don't want things linking back to me (my journal!)!!!!!

Seriously I am so furious right now that I don't know what to do.

Now I really understand why things are changing around and people decide to leave the fandom... because... "·%!"·%"·&""&"W&W@€|#@~|#@~|! Arghhh! I am really mad atm!

Tracking down the user name, I suspect this 'kangsadanamm" speaks Spanish, so well:

No sé si lo has hecho con la mejor o con la peor de las intenciones, pero gracias por arruinarme la vida temporalmente. No soy la reina del mundo y no aspiro a ello... porque ni siquiera se trata de videos de alta calidad, los compartía con la gente tan impaciente como yo!
Compartía los videos porque realmente quería compartirlos pero bajo unas condiciones que no me hicieran estar nerviosa o preocupada por las posibles consecuencias. Gracias a ti ya no me siento segura para compartirlos. Te lo agradezco. Si estás en mi lista de amigos, me gustaría que me contactaras en privado y me dieras una explicación. Si no, y alguien te conoce de mi lista de amigos, que te agradezcan el hecho de que no voy a volver a postear videos en abierto y no sé si tampoco 'friends-only'.

OBVIOUSLY THIS POST WILL BE LOCKED IN A LITTLE WHILE... Locked, I am too paranoid atm...

Some people friended me in the last few days... Thank you! ^^ I really appreciate the gesture (if you did it with good will and all) but I remind you that the fact that you add me just means that you will read in your 'friends' page what I post for everybody to see which is not much!

You still can't see my locked posts and things will remain like this because

1) my journal is mainly friends only;
2) what I post in comms usually get locked in 24 hours;
3)I am not adding people who adds me out of the blue without even leaving a comment saying why they added me or just that they add me because they wanted me to add back...

No comment/message about adding = no adding from my side...

And especially if you have a journal with just 1 entry or totally empty or in a different language from (English/Spanish/Japanese/Chinese) I won't add you unless you say something to me about it...

I have no problem making new friends but I want those who become friends with me to at least talk to me or interact with me in more than just clicking in a link/read anonymously my journal, you know?

Sorry for all the trouble! I am not bitchy, seriously, just zealous of my privacy and security...

Hope you understand! ^^

I don't know how many people actually read journal profiles so I will say it once again.

This journal is most of it friends only (open posts are just announcements, questions, animated gifs or icons, reviews of shows and pic spams from shows/movies, the rest is locked!).

I don't mind adding people but you have to tell me that you want me to add you. Just adding me, especially if you have an empty journal or one in a language I can't understand at all (that means that is in a language that isn't English, Spanish, Japanese or Chinese), won't result in my adding you back. That being the case, you need to tell me that you want me to add you (and it would be great to know why ^^)

I don't bite, so please, tell me.

Adding me means that you will respect the content and the rules I may include in the posts. I am really sorry for locking my posts, but I got too paranoid, and this is my happy place so it shouldn't give me sleepless nights, if you know what I mean.

I love Arashi/JE fandom, I love to offer back what I am able to, but not in exchange of getting worried for what I decide to talk about or post here.

PS forgot to mention that we should have things in common, otherwise I won't see why you really want to add me...

Until further notice all the posts I usually left open for a couple of days will be friends only for now, so if you really want to see them and you are not my friend or I didn't add you back, please comment here and I will add you.

I am really sorry about this and I hope it's a temporary thing but well... you know how things are...

I want to keep my journal as it was but right now I don't really know what is wise/comfortable to me and what isn't...

So if what I post was really useful/interesting to you, let me know and I'll add you.

m(_ _)m

These two I posted them in a friends only post and nobody could help me... trying my luck in an open post, they are about Arashi/JE:

1. Do you know if there is out there a 'catalogue' or list of all (or most) of the Arashi shop/official photos.

2. Do you know of any reliable seller/online shop/whatever who sells old Johnny's shop photos at reasonable prices?

And the third one is LJ related:

3. Do you know which is the total number of icons a paid account has by default?? I have an extra icons packet that I am thinking if I should renew or not, so if you can tell me more or less how many, I can decide. Thank you!

Just so you know, I am not receiving them, so if you ask me something and I don't get back to you, that's why. Is anybody else having the same problem?

Was it time to change? I dunno...

How long have I kept my previous layout that I still heart? A lot months right?! I was getting a bit tired of the colors. I wanted another sakumoto header but haven't found what I want and got (as a present) those nice pics of them looking so mysterious that decided to use them.

Hope you like it! ^^

I'm still getting used to have the side bar on the left and entries on the right... but looks good, imo.

Today I noticed a change in how my Profile is organized that I don't like. I think I've missed something...

( please I need to watch the end of this! )

PS for those worried about the Pingbacks with Twitter and Facebook... it seems things will be solved. If you receive lj news read it because they say it pretty clear and the animated gif the use lol! love it!... good sense of humor ;)
