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 know and have confirmed with the airline that I'm leaving tomorrow for LA. But it hasn't really hit yet. I still have so much crap to do. Finish my shirt (I got TVXQ in big bold letters so far...) Pack what little I'll need and then attempt to sleep before leaving at 5am to get to the airport 2 hours early.

Yeah, I'm laughing too. I mean, sleep? It's so going to hit sometime tonight that I'm really leaving across the country by myself for 2.5 days, and when it does...I'm going to be all: OMG. OMG!! OMGWTF am I doing?! Holy shit I get to see people, FTW!! OMG...

Yeah. I owe my mom a really nice mother's day present once I get there--especially since she's driving me to the airport (I really could get there on my own but she volunteered). And stuff for other people when I go on a shopping spree in Little Tokyo. (speaking of which, speak up peoples if you want anything specific).

And here's proof of that Barbie, thanks to my stepsis giving me her old digital camera. :D
( pay no attn to that mountain dew can... )

( OH, and here's me. Taken yesterday, post dye-job )

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? :)

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?
