PICTURE OF YOU MV



I forgot how much I loved that song. Also, I cried a little because of the OT5. I'm not ashamed.

So long ago after I came back home, a shamed college drop-out, my father told me that if I ever wanted to take a class at college he'd pay for it.

I mentioned taking Korean, because I am a dork. He said the deal was still on, he'd still pay.

So there's this class at the U, in the fall, that starts at 9:05 and ends fifty minutes later every week-day. The building just so happens to be located right by the bus stop I'd need to be at to leave and get to work a good number of minutes early for a shift at 11.

There is only one time I work before eleven in the entire week. And that would be Monday, where I start at ten. But I'm thinking, that if I mention wanting to take the class now, Julie would be more inclined to let me have the shift just starting an hour later. She's pretty good about scheduling stuff. That, and I rarely ever take time off, so, I think she wouldn't be horribly offended.

Now, in order to get to the class at a decent time (read: more than five minutes early) I'd need to take the bus at 8:10. Which means my ass needs to be up by 8, at the absolute latest. I'm thinking, maybe 7:30-45, enough time to make coffee, etc. The one good thing about getting up so early is that I'd have enough time for the coffee to kick in so I'd be awake for the class--generally a good thing. And getting there 20 minutes early allows me time to pick up more or something if I need to, lol.

Now there are night classes, two days, two hours each but really, I'm leaning towards and everyday type thing. The last time I took a class like that it didn't go so well. Granted, it was math, but still...

But, hey, learning Korean sounds fun and I adored taking French. I know they're not the same but it's a language. And it gives me a little more than: work, at home online, out buying groceries for my life.

Oh man. I was scanning the comms and the lovely halcyon_morn did pronunciation/meaning posts for SuJu and DBSK.

There was much fail involved in my own pronounciaiton but a few highlights:

Junsu & Yunho. Thank God. I didn't think I'd mess them up.

Siwon~ I knew my ears weren't on crack for his last name. It's watching that movie...

Ryeowook ...Aish. Sorry, Wookie. I didn't mean to fail so hard at your name..I'm still not all that sure. Maybe I should call you by your Chinese name...

Note to self, for the billionth time: Learn. Hangul.

Actually I got back around midnight last night but, yeah.

So, the concert was awesome. Waiting to get in while it was hot kinda sucked, but I bought some mandu. And then accidentally went dyslexic on my row/seat for the first half hour. So if that was your seat, omg, I am so sorry I didn't mean to. Must have been the whole traveling for 6 hours on 2 hours of sleep and not really eating that much until the mandu around 4:30. Because I'm not a bad person. I mean, I wanted to see them close, but I wasn't going to *steal* someone's seat--that's not how I roll. And they were *the* last group on so, you got to see them much closer.

But Junsu sang the Korean anthem! You could even hear him half the time!

Suju T brought out Yesung to sing Happiness with them at the end of their set :D. And yes, Heechul is just as crazy. He grabbed a flower and got close enough for people to touch him the attn whore. Yes, I sang along to Rokkugo!!! as best I could. And prolly looked like a major dork. I don't care.

Minwoo...is really hot. Dude can dance and when he took off his shirt and hurled it into the crowd of screaming fans, he was built.

SNSD...has issues singing live, some of them did really awesome--had good projection, but others needed some help. But they were pretty and really polite, bowing to us and the band at the end. Good job, girls.

Son Ho Young...is very interesting, got everyone nice and worked up before DBSK and I'mma have to find some of his stuff, I think.

DBSK. oh, boys. God, everyone was so worked up by the time they came on. Rising Sun is what they started with and everyone was all *SCREAM* and then they said hi and there was more screaming and then there was audience to artist convos, Boys in bold, Cass in Red, obviously:
Say Dong Bang! Dong Bang! Shin Ki! Shin Ki!, Dong Bang Shin Ki! Dong Bang Shin Ki! Dong Bang Shin Ki! (repeat for like, 2 minutes)
Are you guys ready? YEEEEEAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH~!!!

But yeah, it went well. Tonight was pretty, Changminnie and Jaejoong did a "I can sing higher and fancier than you can" contest Joongie won. They did Purple Line..which I could only sing along the English too because I like the Japanese one more, and it was the Korean version...They 'went away' to come back and do Balloons. And SuJu and SNSD came out to sing along...And then it was the finally where everyone sang... one of the songs was totally from the SM TOWN thing, I swear.

I'm currently catching up on stuff, nearly laughing to death at some of the OMG I SAW/MET THEM fan accounts.

So I already did this on the Hollywood Bowl General Chatter forum but might as well do it here. Re-posted, word for word:


Okay, so, I'll start off with this: I'm stupid. I've managed to become some kind of crazy workaholic and when I originally booked my flight hotel (vacation package; expedia.com) I had it booked for arriving at noon on the 17th, one night at Hollywood Best Western and checking out on the 18th with my flight leaving at 6am. <_<

My coworkers pointed out how incredibly insane that was, and suggested I extend my time in LA one way or another. So, I was thinking extending it later, leaving 19th or 20th. Problem? Cost. It seems either way, adding more time at the hotel + cost of the flight would be ~$300 (not counting fees for canceling the first flight but I'm fine with that)

So, should should I leave mid-day on the 19th and pay more for the flight or should I leave on the 20th, which makes the hotel price more? Is anyone else even staying that long? (It'd be kind of nice if someone was)

Any advice is welcome. This is my first solo vacation type thing, and I want to enjoy it before going back to my normal life, you know? :)

OMG. SO...I watched SuJu M's version of U. PLZ to be forgiving the CAPSLOCK.

OH MY GOD. OMG-WTF-FTW!

HANNIE LOOKS SO HAPPY.
AND SIWON STILL GROWLS.
DONGHAE CAN RAP IN CHINESE.
THE SIHAN LOVECHILD ZHOUMI CAN ALSO RAP.
HENRY CAN SING AND DOES MORE VIOLIN DANCING.
RYEOWOOK LOOKS LIKE A BOY AND IS HOT.
I DON'T HAVE ANYTHING FOR KYUHYUN BUT HE'S STILL HOT AND CAN SING AWESOME.
--->HIP THRUSTING AND GRATUITOUS CROTCH-SHOTS. <----


Okay. I'm done for now. Going to DL that sucker.

So today's gonna be kind of weird. Mainly because I'm closing, so my shifts 5-9ish. I also got up around half-past noon and ate half a pint of Strawberry Kiwi gelato for brunch. Yeah, I know. Moving on.

I have to work on fics. My dearest dongsaeng, butterflyweb, reminded me in her subtle way and untyped threat of DO YOU WANT TO DIE? that I needed to, desperately. She's such a good dongsaeng like that, keeping me on my toes. Unni loves you, please feel better soon!

Never mind that two of the fics she wanted me to work on are...pretty much unveiwed by the public. XD. But WAN? is and I admit, what with the RPing and the KMF stuff I got sidetracked. WAN? has really been hating me...it should be getting easier, but I guess it's just feeling bad for knowing where it's going and having to write it out.

Also I have some SNSD on my computer. Well, Kissing You and Into the World. I blame that Kissing You MV where Donghae is an utter dork and, face it, the girls are cute. Excpet for Hyoyeon. Sorry girl, you can dance but...not feeling the attempt at blonde hair or that hideous pink thing you were wearing there. I also watched a lot of their Girl's Generation Goes to School thing. I feel like a pervert but that's nothing new.

So, for the hell of it. My five favorites (ie, the ones I would make out with had I that option *cough*):

1. Tiffany
2. TaeYeon
3. Sunny
4. Jessica
5. SeoHyun

Also...the Beautiful You MV is...brain-melting. I am still not used to Pretty!Yunho. It hurts my head. But in a good way. I think. Also guitar is of the good. Ah, well. I'm going to be leaving in half an hour to get there way early and eat a big lunch/dinner type thing at California Pizza Kitchen, since I've never been there. Also, so that if I have extra time I can poke around Ragstock for more KMF gear to make. (Hit up Michael's the other day, HUZZAH FOR PLAIN RED T-SHIRTS AND HATS!)

♥

So I bought the tickets to LA and BACK. And the booked the hotel.

But the getting the tickets to actual concert is not going so well. It won't add what I've selected to my cart. I'm kinda spazzing but I'm not the only one who's having the problem. Left a message at the Korea Time's number.

>.<;;

I'm going to be seriously pissed if I can't get a ticket. I know I should have thought about that before booking but I guess if worst comes to worst I'll hang out in LA for a day?

Never been to the West Coast.

EDIT:

So, word is I should call in the morning. Try every single extension. Yay for two-hour time difference meaning not freakishly early for me?

DBSK is going to be at the Hollywood Bowl Festival.

In Hollywood, CA.

On May 17th.

That's like...seven weeks.

FUCK there goes my money.

Also. Meet up?

I'm tired and my brain is just kind of...in shock. But just OMG.

More coherent post later. Why do I have to get home at almost 5pm tomorrow? Note to self to check stuff before work. If I can force myself up before I have to go to work. AISH.
