사랑해, 大好き, 我爱你

I figure every so often, I should talk about my personal life because it is just that interesting. :)


★ This book makes me cry every time I read it. (I think this is kind of irrelevant, but I'm just sayin'.)

★ I got my LSAT score back, 167 out of a possible 180, which is apparently 95th percentile. I'm very relieved and apparently have crazy Asian standards because I still wish I'd done better, but my parents are happy. And hopefully law schools will be too!

★ I'm planning a graduation trip to China and Korea in May with [livejournal.com profile] thyme_hawthorne that's going to cost roughly $3000. And I'm paying for it, so this is me working 22 hours a week! I can do it, though. I don't mind work. It just means I'll probably be around less because I'll be perpetually tired from work and schoolwork and law school apps. Do let me know, however, if you know of any way of getting cheap international airfare. I can't find anything that costs less than $2000 that will take me from the US to China to Korea and back to the US. (And, god, are visas a pain in the ass. I never knew the work my parents went through for a vacation!)

★ I'm teaching myself Korean so I won't be totally illiterate come May! Any pointers in that direction would be greatly appreciated too. In the past three days, all I've mastered is the alphabet, haha. I will have to start on basic phrases and vocabulary next.

★ For Halloween, I am dressing up as a Korean boy band member, haha. There will be picture, because it amuses me a lot.

★ If anyone wants to send me some love, all I want for the rest of the year is this book. It's impossible to find in libraries because it has gay Caribbean pirates (no, seriously), and I can't afford to spend money on books for fun until...June. Aiya.

☆ In fandom news, I am still randomly crushing on Teukie, I can recognize Donghae's voice, Fandom_Wank's post on gay!Dumbledore entertains me so much, my favorite Korean boy is still G-Dragon, the new Naruto Shippuden OP and ED make me a little fangirly, Kibum is really fuckable, Koi no yamai ni tsukeru kusuri and Kuchibiru ni Amai Doku (sequel) by Koide Mieko are really, really cute BL mangas, and the latest issue of Shousetsu Bang*Bang is fantastic. ♥


Now I'm off to do homework before working the 1am closing shift. And then...do more homework. I'll, um, factor in sleep at some point, haha. Right. Please take care, flist, if I am not around much for awhile.

P.S. I'm not receiving comment notifications (again!) so that is my excuse for, hmm, everything. ;) Please shout at me here if you need my attention for anything.

The Giving Tree is just made of win. End of story.

(is there a reason the last star isn't filled in?)

[identity profile] meiface.livejournal.com 2007-10-25 06:18 am (UTC)(link)
It is one of the best children's books ever, definitely. :)

(The last star is non-RL related! Fandom stuff. So it gets a different star, heh.)

[identity profile] efio-47.livejournal.com 2007-10-24 10:44 pm (UTC)(link)
Star one: Awww.

Star three: 22 hours? If you ever need a back/head massage, or a swift hit to the back of your head so you can get some sleep, let me know. On second thought, don't ask be about the latter b/c i can't promise i'll manage that correctly.

Star four: You should approach the random korean people on campus. Then you can get absorbed into those groups of them always randomly hanging around the UL. It will be awesome. And Asian.

Other: How do you make those nifty little stars? I'm so behind on html and life.

[identity profile] meiface.livejournal.com 2007-10-25 06:25 am (UTC)(link)
Ahahah, the Korean people on campus scare me. D: They are so cliquey, I feel. And speaking in Korean to each other.

Ahh, sleep. I will catch up on the weekend. Sort of.

I absolutely LOVED that book as a child <3

♥♥ Seriously, it makes me think we don't appreciate the things around us. Not just trees/nature, but the people around us who give so much without ever wanting anything in return.

Thanks! I don't mind working my butt off for the trip, actually. At least it gives me something to look forward to, right? :D

I love Donghae's voice too, yaaay!

Kibum is really fuckable

aljkdfhjkshkdjhsdajkgdhajkd oh my god YES?

I'm working on making my SuJu image folder explode increase tonight. Also, I keep watching the clip where Eunhyuk falls out of his chair and Kangin just about dies laughing. XD It makes me feel better, somehow.

[identity profile] meiface.livejournal.com 2007-10-25 06:23 am (UTC)(link)
alkjdfld ::does not have time for SuJu fangirling omgwtf:: Seriously, I have not gotten into fandom at all other than watching perfs and SJFH. I don't even have time to watch random clips on Youtube anymore. ;__; I will try to make some time over the weekend?

Kibum is...seriously, I look at him and I go, "Wow, I'd fuck that," and then I feel kind of awful because his smile is adorably boyish. He's the only one that pings that vibe for me. D: Like, all the time. (I mean, I want to lick Donghae when he dances, but he is just too cute and dorky outside of perfs for me to slap that label on him. Kibum is just--I don't even know. D: I mean, offer me any of them to sleep with and I'd do it, lol. But Kibum. I HAVE TO REMIND MYSELF THAT HE'S OLDER THAN ME.)

☆ Aww. *eyes mist*

★ Eeee~ exciting~~ am very happy and proud of you. But I told you that already, I believe. ♥

☆ PICTURES FOR HALLOWEEN! Don't forget the heavy mascara, okay.

★ Hahahaha, that book's been on my to-get list for so long. As soon as I come into some currency, I shall be getting that one along with its sequel. Or I hope to anyway. GHEI CARIBBEAN PIRATES! 's like Pirates of the Caribbean all over again, but different. :D

Kibum so gorgeoussssss. And yes fuckable. Preferrably by Shiwon. But since it's you, Donghae works too. I MAY START LIKING DONKI, BUT ONLY IF YOU FIC FOR IT. *NUDGENUDGEWINKWINK*

★ *downloads BL mangas for use as study breaks later* ♥

::loves on a lot:: I fail at comments, lol. And I have so much meta-thought on SuJu, but I'm too lazy to type them all out. Similarily lazy about posting Halloween pics to LJ--they're up on FB though. :D

[identity profile] celerywench.livejournal.com 2007-10-25 12:27 am (UTC)(link)

[identity profile] pastel-colours.livejournal.com 2007-10-25 01:51 am (UTC)(link)
The Giving Tree makes me cry in the same way that The Little Prince makes me cry DD: I read it in a bookstore and I would have purchased it if I had had some cash on me.

Congrats on your LSAT score xDD 95th percentile? Pretty freaking amazing. Also, KOREA! asdf;lkajsdkf

[identity profile] meiface.livejournal.com 2007-10-27 11:27 pm (UTC)(link)
The Little Prince makes me tear up and it makes me remember childhood fondly, but The Giving Tree makes me cry. I can't read this book in public. D: There is just something about unconditional love...

And, eeee, thank you! I am more excited about the Korea part than the LSAT part, but I figure the LSAT part might affect more of my future, haha. ::working hard!::

[identity profile] peachpastiche.livejournal.com 2007-10-25 02:45 am (UTC)(link)
OH! speaking of needing books for fun & trashy romance novels, I totally scored like three bags full from my dad's girlfriend's mom 'cause I remembered you were into that stuff and so is Katie xD So I have those at home & I can bring them back with me after thanksgiving break to see if you want some? <3

[identity profile] meiface.livejournal.com 2007-10-31 02:18 am (UTC)(link)
Ahaha trashy romance novels are the best. ♥ I love Regency England era ones randomly a lot. Idek. I don't know that I'll ever have time again to read for fun though. OTL

[identity profile] orange-moose35.livejournal.com 2007-10-25 03:26 am (UTC)(link)

Have fun working...nat (well, as much fun as you can have working after hours). =P

"There will be picture"
SPOKEN LIKE A TRUE AZN xD jk.

[identity profile] meiface.livejournal.com 2007-11-03 02:30 am (UTC)(link)
Sorry my comment is so belated, lol. Thank you and also, my typos make me more Asian! So awesome. :Dv

Ahh, more HP wank now on f_w. I'm so amused. It entertains me during my study breaks.

[identity profile] konnistique.livejournal.com 2007-10-25 09:25 am (UTC)(link)
Any brief summary of what The Giving Tree might be about? :D I need a book to keep me company these days.

Aw, you really do give lots of ♥ to your flist! :D *downloads BL manga*

[identity profile] meiface.livejournal.com 2007-10-27 11:20 pm (UTC)(link)
From Amazon:
'Once there was a tree...and she loved a little boy.'

So begins a story of unforgettable perception, beautifully written and illustrated by the gifted and versatile Shel Silverstein.

Every day the boy would come to the tree to eat her apples, swing from her branches, or slide down her trunk...and the tree was happy. But as the boy grew older he began to want more from the tree, and the tree gave and gave and gave.

This is a tender story, touched with sadness, aglow with consolation. Shel Silverstein has created a moving parable for readers of all ages that offers an affecting interpretation of the gift of giving and a serene acceptance of another's capacity to love in return.


MAKES ME CRY SO MUCH.

alskjfld I hope you enjoyed the manga. It was so very cute. :) ♥ Though Kuchibiru isn't finished...one more chapter to go!

[identity profile] osoreranai.livejournal.com 2007-10-25 06:19 pm (UTC)(link)
HEY! Yeah, you! I'm shouting at you! Know what I need?

To say that you're awesome. ^_^ That's all.

[identity profile] meiface.livejournal.com 2007-10-27 11:18 pm (UTC)(link)
Ahaha, thanks. :) I hope the law school admissions council thinks so too!

[identity profile] firedraygon97.livejournal.com 2007-11-08 06:06 am (UTC)(link)

Haha, I think my brother's doing that for his grad trip, too. I was invited along but I have to end up working all summer, so. v__v

Haha, is that book 2 of the gay pirates series you recced me last time? XDD;
