you are my star

SHINEE'S COMING BACK IN APRIL! LET'S CELEBRATE!!!

omg i am so hooked on them right now it's not even funny.

on a related note, it's the day before end of spring break and here are the things i've accomplished (compare to previous post's to-do list and feel free to laugh at my face):

1. cleaned my apartment and even did laundry! yay!

2. watched all yunhanam episodes. and school of rock. and about 80% of all shinee videos on youtube. i still have flower boy generation left.

3. new onew icon. yay! and new onew layout. check it out! jumper_on  and while you're at it, you should also check out my profile for awesome onew gif of sexy. okay no i am not obsessed.

4. wrote shinee fic. yeah, i don't even.

5. made onew fanart!!! well, i just drew him. nothing original or cute or fantastic about it or anything. but staring at him for extended periods of time in order to capture his perfection on pencil and paper was definitely not a waste of precious spring break hours.

6. absolutely zero percent of all the homework i need done for next week.

and i don't care! shinee is coming back in april! i'm so excited! it actually makes me want to leave my apartment and enjoy the lovely weather outside! it's 70 degrees!!!

okay, um, i'm gonna go now before i change my mind. shinee gaaaaah!
 

normally, i would find this funny as hell but i just found out that super junior is performing in manila in april and i won't be able to be there.

i mean. it's freaking stormtroopers. dancing to sorry, sorry. this should be AWESOME.

ugh i am so depressed.

edit:

SO MY SISTER JUST TOLD ME THAT SHE'S TAKING ME TO MANILA FOR THAT WEEKEND SO WE COULD WATCH THE CONCERT. APPARENTLY, I'M GONNA GO SEE SUPER SHOW 2 IN APRIL.

ISN'T THIS VIDEO OF THE STORMTROOPERS DANCING TO SORRY, SORRY JUST THE FUNNIEST THING YOU'VE EVER SEEN IN YOU LIFE???

i was feeling kinda down today. just because. you know, general sadness at life and being sooo far away from home and boring stuff like that. so i went on facebook and saw that my best friend ram from back home was online on facebook chat and i decided to assault him with kpop videos. just to cheer myself up, you know? nothing lifts my spirits up like pimping korean boybands to unsuspecting victims. he already knows SNSD because i pimped them to him a while back cause i knew he would get a kick (see what i did there?) out of the choreography of Genie. he's in love with yuri now, but what boy isn't? anyway, i never wanted to show him the boybands because, you know, he'd probably laugh at them for being gay or being fake musicians or whatever. but as i was sad today and i wanted to flail about boys, i linked him to sorry, sorry and mirotic and a bunch of other videos. surprisingly, he came out of it with a profound appreciation for hyukjae's spanish matador outfit and a man-crush on jaejoong. my best friend ram! who's the most un-gay person there is. ram who is in bands that play "real music." ram who is a fratboy and chain smokes lucky strikes. has a man-crush. on fucking jaejoong. it just cheered me right up. and i didn't even tell him i was sad. WHY ARE BEST FRIENDS LIKE THIS? ♥

anyway, the real point of this post is, it's GD's birthday today okay? he's fabulous and gangsta and a dragon and his new album is hot shit and his new mv is even hotter shit so you betta recognize.

1. new fandoms

★ EPIK HIGH
reason for getting into the fandom: EUNHYUK
thoughts before and after becoming a fan: i used to think tablo was ugly but now i want to rape him. and his mind.
thoughts on the group: genius. genius lyrics. genius music. just genius. and now i regret not going to see them when they came to new york. fuck me.
thoughts on the members: tablo, mithra and tukutz are three of the most hilarious people on earth. and i think i want to get wasted with them. or you know, spend a nice quiet afternoon with them, just baking cookies and watching murder she wrote reruns. idek.

(now onto the minor leagues, AKA groups i don't love yet but have high potential)

★ SNSD
reason for getting into the fandom: my sister's boyfriend is a HUUUUGE fan. also, i find it amusing how every one in suju and shinee (okay, everyone in korea) knows the choreography to their songs so i was curious.
thoughts before and after becoming a fan: i used to find them annoying. i still do. but with love in my heart now.
thoughts on the group: why do they have such looooong legs? also, i heard they're getting a new choreographer for their sexy new album. this is gonna be exciting. i want whore!SNSD and i want it now!
thoughts on the members: i only know sooyoung (sungmin-sooyoung is my het OTP), sunny (from the cooking? cooking! video), yoona (from the U video), yuri (from Attack on the Pin-up Boys), jessica the slut, and tiffany with the big eyes. the rest are just blah.

★ 2PM
reason for getting into the fandom: goldengutgirl 
thoughts before and after becoming a fan: i didn't want to like 2PM because i already love too many boys. resistance was futile.
thoughts on the group: they look like action figures. also, again and again is stuck in my head. i sing it again and again. hahaha. i'm so clever.
thoughts on the members: i only know nichkhun. then there's one member with bangs. then all the rest have identical haircuts like guile from street fighter. do they expect me to be able to tell them apart by the patterns they have shaved onto the sides of their heads? TO ME THERE'S NO DIFFERENCE.

if you can point me to snsd or 2pm pimp posts so i could learn to love everybody (and learn their names), by all means do so. i need help. thank you very much.

2. new friends!

hello to queenbratinella , heesica , micodeavi , papyong , vaguebelle , conflate , theprerogative , and psychul  !!!! new friends!!! yay!!!

3. new layout

finally. after ten years of saying i needed a new layout, i finally went and made (read: mixed and matched codes from several different layouts which i stole from estiloamor ) one. i chose that picture for the header because my love for the Sorry, Sorry Version B photoshoot will never fade. and i made that sapphire blue baloon from scratch so well done, me. ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-check it out! jumper_on jumper_on jumper_on jumper_on jumper_on jumper_on jumper_on 

4. new icons

still working on them hahaha but yeah. otanoshimi!

being an arashi fangirl is pretty much a full time job so i rarely venture out of this fandom except for the ocassional "i-think-i-like-this-other-JE-group's-song/video/member" moment. i have, however, been listening to some kpop since last year (baited by the wondergirls but moved on to the boyzzz namely SHINEE and this year to DBSK c/o ayisse) and when there's one song i really like, i tend to research about the group more. i mean i don't obsess over them or anything (arashi is enough thank you very much) but i try to make it a point to at least know the names of each member. and it's pretty easy, especially if there are only five members in the group.

SHINEE
1. TAEMIN - best dancer, youngest, i love this boy so so much
2. MINHO - best looking, raps, my number 2
3. JONGHYUN - sings good, gets plenty of air time
4. ONEW - leader, sings good too
5. KEY - looks like a Vulcan

DBSK
1. JAEJOONG - really hot
2. YOOCHUN - cute boy, ayisse loves him
3. CHANGMIN - youngest, i think i love you in the mirotic videooo mwah mwah mwah
4. JUNSU - awesome voice, great dancer
5. YUNHO - leader, raps


but when there are more than five, i start to have a hard time.

so i just spent the last THREE HOURS trying to memorize the names (and corresponding faces) of all THIRTEEN members of Super Junior. and yes, it's because of SORRY, SORRY. that song, man. it's insane. anyway, i'm listing all their names down here in lj so i won't forget. here we go.

SUPER JUNIOR
1. KYUHYUN - MY LOVE, BEST SINGER, AWESOME AWESOME AWESOME. also: youngest (why do i always have to fall for the youngest??), was the one who sang a whole new world with charice pempengco in star king, and was the most badly-injured in that 2007 suju car accident, my poor poor baby
2. HEECHUL - used to look like a girl with long hair but recently got a haircut so now looks like Spock. i like him much better now. also: likes making out with his band mates
3. KIBUM - cute boy, ayisse loves him (hahaha i just realized that my descriptions for yoochun and kibum are the same)
4. SIWON - looks like luis manzano, also: jesus loves him
5. EUNHYUK - best dancer, looks like a cross between my friend tripy and kubozuka yosuke
6. HANKYUNG - only chinese member of the group, also looks like Spock but more pinoy somehow
7. DONG HAE - looks like a cross between my friend peydrow and ikuta toma and sometimes koike teppei
8. YESUNG - fat cheeks, less cute version of miyake ken
9. RYEOWOOK - little boy
10. EETEUK - lizard
11. KANGIN - the chubby one
12. SHINDONG - the fat one
13. SUNGMIN - the only one left by process of elimination (sorry)

i think i need a kpop icon. korea, what are you doing to me?

EDIT:
made a kyuhyun icon from a picture of him looking hot. wearing shades. and undressing. LOOK! 

a message to the stylist for arashi's utaban performance:

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR NINO'S PANTS.

we all know what rating my dreams are gonna be tonight.

i just found a clip from the NEWS Pacific concert. And nino and sho were there during the mc.

Okay my japanese is rusty but i think nino said that he liked tego the best. then he hid behind ryo. then he proceeded to kiss ryo's shoulder (he was wearing a sleeveless shirt so his skin was exposed and i guess nino couldn't resist). he kissed it twice. and i know he wanted to kiss it three times but ryo pulled away so nino ended up kissing air.

oh fandom. how i love thee. 

now if someone could just explain to me what they were actually saying..
