Cleverly Disguised as a Responsible Adult

Placeholder for now - will be updated.

I need to leave this entry open for logistical purposes, but if you don't know what Yuletide is, please skip this.  These aren't the droids you're looking for ^^;;

So lately whenever I post a comment on a friend's journal, my default icon always shows up (regardless of what I've actually chosen).

Does anyone know what the problem might be?

Ignore this if you don't know anything about Takarazuka ^^;

Dear Mailbox,

Today you have once again failed me.  We are not pleased.

No love,
Becca

So according to Ai-chan's blog, she's moving to Tokyo.  (If I remember right, up until now she's been sharing an apartment with her older sister in Kansai). 

It also looks like she'll be doing (what I think is a) workshop or something along those lines of a new dinner show.  (Wrong country-itis, wrong country-itis T_________________T) I'm under the impression that Tokyo is much more of the center of the entertainment industry than the Kansai area, so here's hoping that this all means that Ai-chan will continue her stage career.

Regardless, I'm just glad to see her posting so much <3

So I'd like to get back into the habit of Live Journal-ing about personal stuff.  I do have cherrytop, my RL journal for this, but I've found that it's really hard to keep up with more than one journal and I don't use it much these days.  I've been thinking about leaving cherrytop as an archive and writing about both Zuka and real life stuff here.

The only problem is that while some people on my muffin_song friends list also follow cherrytop , the reverse isn't true, and I don't want to bore my college friends and so on with Zuka babbling.  So I would have to make muffin_song friends only and filter the entries into personal and Takarazuka.

I'm not sure how I feel about moving to friends only.  On one hand, more and more of my entries these days are friends only (I don't want to publicly post anything that could link me back to my fan club affiliation).  But going back to the other hand once again, I don't like accusations of elitism in the Zuka fandom, and if I made a friends only journal I would worry I was going in that direction.

I suppose I could just accept the friends request of everyone who asks and then filter my journal according to how well I know them.  *sigh* I'm feeling like a snob already.  And yet I feel uncomfortable with letting people I don't really know read about things I consider private.

For people who have done this before, any suggestions?

I like it.  Very Masatsuka-esque with the costumes of course, but even more stylish than usual.

In other news, I'm still alive (really).

So the Trafalgar poster is up on the Hankyu website.  Needless to say I'm thrilled that Micchan made it onto this one, given that the last time she was on a Daigekijou poster was Paradise Prince.  More than that, everyone looks very good and I'm pleased with the poster design.

We already know that Yuuhi will be playing Nelson and Sumika will be playing Emma.  What I'm not sure about is Tomu and Micchan.  Tomu is behind the French flag, so does that mean that she's supposed to be Napoleon?  And given that William Hamilton (Emma's husband) is a British diplomat and Micchan isn't in military costume, will Micchan be playing Hamilton?

I'm hoping this is the case.  Napoleon would be a change for pace for Tomu, who seems to be getting a lot of jilted husband/lover/etc. roles lately.  And according to the summary Hamilton quickly grows jealous of Nelson and starts sending him into dangerous battle after dangerous battle.  If this means I'll finally get my villainous Micchan, I'm be very pleased <3
