(Announ ・ω・ cement)

Rena speaking.Yesterday during All Night Nippon I announced my graduation. I’ll graduate of SKE48 when August comes to an end. I took you all and members by surprise with this sudden announcement. Forgive me for this.But it’s not a decision I took suddenly, it’s something that came as an evidence with the time. As if it was the natural continuation of the path I was walking. If feel like I’m leaving the cleanly paved road I have been walking on until now, summoning my courage to step in the forest.While I made my announcement and later, I received countless messages of people supporting me. It made me really happy. At that precise moment, and after all this time, I finally realised how my life had become a part of all those people’s lives. I also received a lot of messages from members and my friends. I didn’t expect members to be so affected, to feel sad and refusing that it was the true, that I was graduating. It touched me so much I wanted to rush to their side and hug them tight. My juniors are all so cute. I love them. I’m sorry for making my fans and members feel sad. But there is still two months! Looking at all the time that I spent as a member one could say “only” two months, but those are still two whole months! With that mindset, I want to make the best of this time with everyone. Hoping those memories will remain in all of us forever.I have things in mind that should rejoice you. So please be a bit patient, ok?♪ With that I hope my feelings have, even if just a bit, reached you. Rena

And what about love?

During the press conference after ANN a journalist asked Rena what were her plans or inspiration in matter of romance : 「Love? I can do without. It’s friends I want. Friends who will listen to my stories.」

（*´・◞◟・｀*）  

Rena’s first interview after the announcement of her graduation. She once again says she’s been considering graduation for a couple of years, that she wants to make the next two months very very rich and full ones, that she didn’t ask for advice to members in regards to the decision (but she did to staff members), that she feels like she hasn’t anything left to do as an idol, that she still can’t picture herself after graduation but she’s excited to discover how things will be, that the actual graduation period has been mostly decided by the staff - considering lots of things - and she herself was a bit surprised, but she thinks it’s a nice idea to do it at the end of Summer. Lastly she says she’s not interested in experiencing love and she’d much prefer making some friends. I personally look forward so much to her career and I can’t say I’m unhappy with her decision because I know it’s the best decision for her at this point :)

I want to be the first person on the moon to shoot a sniper rifle at earth and hit a wasp nest.  my whole life so far is leading up to that moment

This makes me want to break out my watercolors ugh

A quick tip for writers out there, who use Microsoft Words:

Change the background colour of the pages to a mint green shade.

It is said that green is a calming colour, however, the main reason why I like this, is because I can write for a much longer period of time now, as a white background I used before made my eyes dry and exhausted after just a few hours of working.

It is basically much more soft and careful to the eyes. I can’t precisely explain why that is. I think it’s that by making a pinch softer contrast of the text and the background, your eyes does not get exposed to as much light.

Just make sure to not make the background too dark, or else your eyes will get exhausted do to over-fixating the lack of contrast between text and background.

And maybe you find a nice pastel/light background shade that fits you; give it a try.

Different things work out and fits for different people. And I just felt like sharing this.

Here’s the shade numbers I used to get my preferred colour:

Thanks for reading.

DUDE

You just solved a very real problem for me! Thanks!

For those who might not know where to find this: It’s in the Page Layout tab.

I had no idea this was possible before today!

to add onto this, give f.lux a try! it’s a computer program that adapts your screen color based on the time of day where you live. 

ever notice how painful a bright computer screen is a night? f.lux makes it easier on the eyes as night approaches by turning your computer display “warm”.

the blue light that emits from computer screens (and electronic devices in general) can actually keep you up very late at night. f.lux counteracts that, and people using it have fallen asleep quicker, and got more sleep overall as well (myself included)

They totally meet again out of ohtori and still are friends and happy

マコさんはTwitterを使っています: ロングな2人みたくてらくがき…

I see you I avoid you From a distance I know you are safe and sound

I turned my frustration with myself into art.

I feel like this is really important for people to see. I’ve been saying depression and mess go hand-in-hand for years, but so many people feel like they’re alone in it. You’re not.

Swedish Red Cross launches retro video game scheme in airports

The Swedish Red Cross has embarked on a retro video gaming initiative that aims to bring together good fun and a good cause.

Travellers passing through Arlanda airport in Stockholm and Göteborg Landvetter airport will perhaps have noticed that the traditional charity collection boxes have been replaced by video arcade games including those old classics Ms Pac-Man, Space Invaders and Galaga. Rather than simply making a donation to get rid of loose change, you can get a trip down digital memory lane for your money.
