What have you forsaken after being a fan of Arashi?

I have given up relationships, at least at the moment. I recently had an ended relationship so Arashi became my comfort zone. Since then I'd always yell out I want Aiba for christmas (I mean I want to meet him, but the literal meaning may also apply XD). And at times, I'd say I love you, *insert Arashi member here* whenever any of them do something that would move me or make me laugh, something I never mumbled in my past relationship. Well, Arashi came first before him, so... yeah. And the fact that that guy hurt me made me feel that I'm not into relationships lately. Haha~

M-my stuuuudies. ; o;
My senior year of high school has started today and I've already searched up Arashi a'fore getting my parents to sign the usual syllabuses.
Arashi has become my utter obsession; it's almost unhealthy.</3 (<3)

my TW fandom has been almost nonexistent as well.

well, sometimes it seems like i've forsaken everything ^^
i've been very into Arashi for about 2 years now, and during my most fanatic time i didn't even meet my friends :P and i didn't sleep which led to no school the day after XD
but now i'm better, still watching as much as i can, i love their tv-shows and music, but i'm not totally fanatic anymore, though i would sacrifice A LOT just to go to japan and see them live, they've become a big part of my life <3

Sleep, definitely, since I'm in a different continent from arashi, I stay up until dawn jst to watch their shows and hear the latest news about them.. But I must say,. its worth it big grin

Since Arashi came into my life I don't watch TV anymore! All my free time Is fulfilled by Arashi, their Tv shows and doramas. Pretty much addicted!!!

mostly... a normal sleeping habit. confused

I was also into korean pop for a bit but then it went crazy and I decided Arashi (and Japan's not-dramatic-industry) just makes me happy. big grin

Sleep, studying and homework. XDDD Not good!
I need to get back to doing homework. -sigh-
But other than that, not much. ^^
I still know where most of priorities lie. TT^TT

hahah Arashi has taken over my life!!! i used to listen to like pop and rap music all the time, but now if I don't listen to Arashi songs I feel like I'm going through withdrawal. Just yesterday I hadn't listened to any Arsahi songs or heard thier voices for like 5 hours and i kept thinking to myself, "I need to listen to some Arashi, I need to get out my zune and play some arashi! the heck with class!" lol they have become like an addiction to me. They are all I think about. Becuase of them, I have scraficed sleep and homework time. But it's all worth because they make me smile smile

LOL. I feel the same kind of withdrawals as you if I dont hear an Arashi song. It is a drug, and I sacrificed Pete Wentz and Fall Out Boy for them. Listening to FOB doesn't quite cut it for me anymore.

I'd say I have forsaken a lot of free time, but given the fact that I work anti-social hours anyway, Arashi has actaully given me something to do in my down-time aside from watching 3am infomercials on cable. >,<

I guess, if I've forsaken anything it's the fandom I was in before. (I'm so single minded in my obsessions that I CANNOT fangirl more than one thing at a time; IT WOULD CONSUME ME!!!!!!!)

i only regular lj & forums nowadays. & i can't really say i'm bored cos there is always something to find and watch that has Arashi in it big grin

i used to be on myspace & etc...but i NEVER get on because i'm too involved with je, primarily Arashi right now. when i have days like today where there's not much to do, i end up on sites like this all day...lol. maybe i've forsaken boredom, which is a good thing, and maybe also going out & spending money...which is also a good thing. So yay, thanks Arashi for taking up my time blush

I'd say I've forsaken a lot of my sleeping time, and the totality of my pocket money ...
But even when I'm about to fall asleep at school, I still think it was so worth staying awake and laughing in front of my computer^^

I have given up on relationships (for now) because of them.

I started listening to them after I broke up with my ex (totally by accident; Kitto Daijoubu came up on my suggested videos on YouTube xD), so from that point, they became my source of happiness and comfort. But I eventually got out of that phase where I couldn't get over the break up, but it didn't stop me from listening to them. They then became my inspiration to work through school and make something of myself, in addition to the above.

I really love these boys. Listening to them makes me feel like I don't need to be in a relationship to be happy. I just need friendship to get through everyday. :]

Haha, I really like this question.

Sleep comes to mind first. A lot of sleep, lol. Hm...I've given up a lot of, just, time. I'll say "I should watch my Netflix DVDs, ooh! Or Arashi no Shukudai-kun~!" and then I find some random episode of AnS and sit in front of the laptop for hours.
I have almost forsaken text messaging. I'll stop sending mails to people because I'm watching Hana Yori Dango [or something], or because I'm working on an Arashi cover group dub, or I'm working on learning the lyrics to a song of theirs I just found and want to have memorize.
You could almost say I've forsaken English music, haha. I listen to them so much, I hardly use any other playlists on my iPod. Except the one of every JE group. I use that one often.
The same goes for what zebranaut said. Well, not the Kitto Daijoubu part, but about not needing a relationship to be happy after listening to Arashi. I am the same way!

I'm sure there are more [I'd say sanity, but I already lost that, =p], but I can't think of them at the moment....
