I love Korean professor, Yoon sungsaengnim. I want to see pictures of him as a high-schooler. I want to see video of him as a high-schooler, because he must have been the biggest dork on the face of the earth. With like big TOP-like glasses and pens in his pockets and perfectly straightened tie and stuff. *dies*

Anyway. A month or so ago he made us sing the 곰 세 말이 (Three Bears Song). Now, we have to sing 3 Christmas carols:

징글벨 (Jingle Bells)
울면 안돼 (Santa Claus is Coming to Town [lit. You Shouldn't Cry!])
루돌프 사슴 코 (Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer [Lit. Rudolph Shiny Nose])

He played this crazy version of the songs like the intro music killed me dead. And then tried to get us to sight-sing. And I died a little along with everyone else who didn't know the carols because it was all "hoshit figure out this Hangul and try and sing it right now crap it's really fast". Didn't work so well. But on my own and figuring out where to slur things together it's not so strange.

And Emily directed me to what I think was a 1999 SM TOWN version of Jingle Bells. And I died more because it was so old school what with H.O.T and S.E.S.

In bullet-point because I'm bored.

Also we had started to watch 'A Moment to Remember' in Koran class on Wed so I will have to finish that. And I could say more about my uncle making me uncomfortable...but I won't right now. Just stare at the last 20-odd hours.

So. It's Decemeber, or will be in about an hour. I was going to do this closer to Christmas but this is just too good to pass up.

daeriel knows what this horror is. It is a thing beyond all wrongness. It is...a song. O Holy Night.

If you have any musical sense, this will either shock, scare or make you want to cry. It may also have you in hysterics. It is, in my opinion, the worst rendition I have EVER heard. I only heard it because my mother (who's in the MN Chorale) had it sent to her last year as a joke from another member.

Just scroll down and click the little arrow.

“You know it was…”

YAY. So I'm no longer an emotional basket case. Finally. And I now know what to look forward to in a month, so I should make sure I have plenty of amusing things for myself so that if I do cry, it's out of laughter. That's far more acceptable, even if I am acutely aware of things not being that funny normally.

Also, I have encouragement to buy the five-DVD set All About DBSK Season 2 from my stepdad. To be honest he said "buy the discs" after I told him how I wasn't sure if I should "buy the DVDs or the cool loft bed from IKEA". I still count it as a win, even though I really do want that bed, too.

Thirdly, my dad was talking about buying me and espresso machine for X-Mas. OMGWTF, Dad? Encouraging me to become highly caffeinated?

On my end, I'm trying to think about what to get people. Especially those whose birthdays follow New Year's (aka my dad, mom & brother in that order). Mine is actually ten days before my Dad's (11 before Mom&Bro), but I was thinking that a $50 DVD set was enough for both X-Mas and birthday? Though if you count, the 6th is technically the "Twelfth Day of Christmas". Guess it'll depend on my mood.

And I know, it's not even Thanksgiving yet but if you had to work on the biggest shopping weekend of the year, like I do (damn you, Black Friday!!), then you'd be spazzing about presents too. I mean, come on, would you really want to shop before or after an 8-hour shift? HELL, NO!

It's not that I don't like sales, I'm pretty stingy when I want to be, but all the PEOPLE. O_<;; You can't BREATHE or HEAR. And I happen to like both of those things. Far more than getting "OMG the best deal evarrrrr".

You'll prolly hear more about my plight of working death next week if I can drag myself online. There will most likely be bitching about PEOPLE nad DESERTING COWORKERS (ie the reason for my freaking long shifts that weekend). The only upside to that whole thing is that I'm gonna get PAID. That's gonna be an awesome paycheck. Assuming I don't get killed in the line of duty. XD.
