First of all, I think my roomate gave me strep throat. I have absolutely no voice. Does that stop me from singing along with K-pop? HAHAHAHA! On a bright note, I actually managed to hit the right pitch on Yongguk's rap in 'Save me' earlier. :)

*hums* "Always look on the bright side of life."

And now I want to watch "Life of Brian"...

Oh, I'm sorry. I think I have gotten some Britain mixed in with my Korea. My bad.

So, if anyone reading this also reads my baby, Limelight, you might already know that I decided to keep posting it after my melodramatic blog post from tuesday. I blame the  oncoming sick. I'm not usually that dramatic. I have come to the conclusion that as long as someone on here likes it I'll keep posting it. I'm writing it for myself anyways. Views, comments, and subscribers really don't factor into that. Besides, I am really bad at commenting on other's stuff myself (I am trying to change...).

But, enough of that for now. I am here to ramble about K-pop because I have no k-pop friends. My roomie is proving to be a hard conversion...I will get her someday. I have three babbles for you today:

1. I have got to get this out now...my obsession with SPEED's Don't Tease Me has grown to near radioactive proportions. Seriously, my roomate has started humming it randomly because I have got it so trapped in her head. (I have no regrets.) The thing is, I only listened to it because I was doing research for writing Taewoon into Limelight. It popped up, I clicked, by the time I realized what was happening it was to late. Permenantly adhered to my top songs list. And now I feel bad because, while I have most of their music, I know next to nothing about them. I know Woo Jiseok is Zico's older brother...that's it. I mean, I liked It's Over a lot, too but, I never took the time to learn anything about them and apparently they are able to produce music awsome enough to knock Kangnam (M.I.B.)'s Say My Name right out of the top twenty. Do you know how long that song has been there?! A very long time. Number twenty might seem low to some but, well, I have over 2000 kpop songs. I regularly listen to them all. Twenty is high up there. Really. Now, I am hardly an encyclopedia of K-pop knowlege but never before has a, virtually unknown to me, group broken into my top twenty. I feel confused about this. Now I have to go do all the research and watch anything I can find with them because this situation must be remedied. Hey Deeps, any recommendations?

2. This one is minor and well, I wrote it on my tumblr earlier but, I found out something simultaneously disturbing and awesome (she is never allowed to make fun of me again!). My mother. My 61 year old mother, used to write fanfic. Before computers, my mother was writing fanfic about hot, male, musicians of her time. Fangirlism may actually be genetic! It explains so much.

3. The final babble!...did i mention that I am on a lot of different medicines to try and remain functional for classes and homework? It's not really working.

This one is non-kpop related so, be aware.

(It's also more a whining fest than anything else.)

Why! Why did I ever decide it was a good idea to triple major in college? I'm a junior now, (Though it is going to take me an extra year to get through the coursework, summer classes are expensive *Whine*) do you know what that means? For all of you youngins out there, it means upper division classes. It means hundreds of pages of readings, at least 20 pages of writing a week, most weeks, with, all too often, bouts of "Here 18 credit hour student, have some more papers to go with your papers. Not enough? well, here you go then, have a presentation on something you know nothing about, three tests, a quiz, and please participate in class discussions more often", because apparently actually attempting to go to class after going 72 hours without sleep and not passing out is not considered participation. Also my classes start at just the right time that it is actually impossible to get into a coffee shop because all the other zombies, whose classes start later then mine, are waiting in line. So, the nine am, decaffinated, insomniac that is me gets to class only to have the most frustrating guy in the class interrupt the lecture on European colonialism in South East Asia (Already hard to concentrate on) not once, not twice,but twenty-two times.I counted. Twenty-two times.(Seriously, are you an encyclopedia? Stop interupting my favorite professor with your random factoids that are not, in fact, going to be on the exam next week.) Ugh.

I feel better now.

I'm sure I'll be back to never ever wanting to leave college by tomorrow. I love school. School is actually my favorite thing ever. People, not so much.

So, that is my first ever blog post. I'm sure there will be much more K-pop involved in the future but mostly I need a place to vent. Also, K-pop Friends, I really need K-pop friends. I am really bad with the social-ness both online and in person so...yeah. I'd love to talk to people here, or on tumblr or twitter, I'm diredreamings on both(I am so bad at those guys, like seriously, help...). I think I might make my next post entirely personal-kpop based. What do you think? Want to know my biases? See the list of my top 20 Kpop songs? Leave me a comment. Or not, its going to happen either way. :)
