life competes with pretty asian boys to top me :/

Around 2AM last night, after I got home from work (8PM-1AM closing shift, exciting!), I was thinking about my January. It looks something like this:

-attending and doing the work for 15 hrs of classes (that I need straight As in, kthx, and will go towards my graduation in May)
-working 25 hrs/week
-organizing and coordinating my sorority's entire rush process
-applying for FAFSA for law school
-researching travel agents who will get me the cheapest international fare from NC to China and back
-applying for summer internships
-attempting to learn Korean in whatever spare time I have

Thus I came to some conclusions about my fandom life. I'm not going on a hiatus, per se, because I may still respond to comments if they are posted (if I get email notifications, anyway), though there may be delay. I might also make occasional spammy posts. But I'm restructuring my approach to fandom for this month at least (which may continue into the future), in hopes that it will allow me the time I need to focus on, oh, all the important things. :/ My grades, my life, my future. Augh.

So:

Things I WILL NOT be doing
-reading the flist (no journal entries, no comms)
-leaving comments
-reading new fics
-writing for fun (hah)
-posting frequently

Things I WILL be doing
-keeping up with [livejournal.com profile] cityverse (PING ME WITH NEW CHAPTERS, K?)
-keeping up with [livejournal.com profile] murasaki_plum and [livejournal.com profile] nemesis_cry and [livejournal.com profile] angelinaii's Apologia Pro Vita Sua fic (though I might be bad with comments from now on)
-betaing [livejournal.com profile] phasera's Goongverse ShiHae fic (♥)
-checking my YouTube subscriptions for new SuJu/Big Bang material in my rare free time
-that means, yes, still watching EHB--and maybe making a few occasional reactionary posts
-updating [livejournal.com profile] shadesofmei

But, hey, on a bright note: SuJu is really, really, really gay. :D

What a post about not being on the internet needs most is grabby!Eeteuk. ;)

Good luck with your studies! We'll be striving to tear you away from them as much as we can.

It's your fault, we love your reviews.

I actually fear opening up [livejournal.com profile] miracle______ to search for your fic because I will be opening myself to a barrage of other tempting fics. I am not so selfish as to ask for a link to every new chapter (the way I am with [livejournal.com profile] cityverse, oho) but I was wondering if you had a table of contents/chapter directory post, or if you just link back with every chapter.

If the latter's the case, I may have to brave [livejournal.com profile] miracle______ once a week or so and try to find the newest chapter. ;D

[identity profile] rawthorne.livejournal.com 2008-01-09 10:02 pm (UTC)(link)
We link with every chapter. The closest thing I can point you towards is my writing comm: http://community.livejournal.com/akissontheglass/tag/super+junior I always add new chapters there to have a record in case [livejournal.com profile] miracle______ ever goes boom and leaves a great big void behind it. Call me paranoid.

Failing that, I have no problem sending you a notification when we update :)

Hi, this is me being super-excited about this prospect. Really? This would be amazing. In that case, I will totally make an effort to leave my customary rambling comments full of (sometimes contained) love. :D ♥

Feel free to leave a comment on my LJ somewhere because I get comment notifications or just ping me at meitachi @ gmail . com, whichever is more convenient for you.

[identity profile] rawthorne.livejournal.com 2008-01-09 10:14 pm (UTC)(link)
Commenting works for me :)

And yay for getting reviews! *bounce* We love your ramblings. They don't even have to be on topic!

good luck with everything, dear. :D

Thank you!

(Awww, Yunho/Leeteuk! Leader love!)

[identity profile] nittle-grasper.livejournal.com 2008-01-08 08:05 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh my, they ARE gay. Not that that really needed clarifying or anything XD;

Good luck with regular life! I should probably get on that too, but...but...they're so PRETTY. And now I'm watching all episodes of Love Letter with Tim because TIM IS HARDCORE =D

[identity profile] meiface.livejournal.com 2008-01-09 10:12 pm (UTC)(link)
Ahhh, I must watch more Love Letter! Scratch that, what I mean is that I wish I could watch more Love Letter. Boo. Keeping up with EHB is going to be hard enough (not that I won't make time for it XD) so, yeah. Life > me, it sucks sometimes.

But the gay makes it better! I think I will make occasional spammy posts of teh ghei (especially with gifs) because it's just too awesome not to share. ♥

(You're not back in school yet, are you?)

[identity profile] sharona1x2.livejournal.com 2008-01-08 08:18 pm (UTC)(link)
That sounds like a good plan. I'll miss you, but I know it's worth the extra time and effort. Good luck!

[identity profile] meiface.livejournal.com 2008-01-09 10:14 pm (UTC)(link)
Thank you so much! I will do my best. :)

[identity profile] cityverse.livejournal.com 2008-01-08 10:30 pm (UTC)(link)
I WILL ALWAYS NOTIFY YOU FOR NEW CHAPTERS. ♥ I'm glad it's on your list at all, and in first place even! XD

Good luck with all that work, ick. D: But hopefully your summer will be worth it!

[identity profile] meiface.livejournal.com 2008-01-09 09:55 pm (UTC)(link)
YOU NEVER BELIEVE ME WHEN I SAY I'M ITS NUMBER ONE FAN. I am so dedicated to it that I have even uncovered your identity and know where you live. I am hardcore. You gotta respect. ;D

♥♥♥ ILUU. I feel so bad not reading the flist. I will randomly bug you on AIM at times for updates on your life then, okay? Feel no obligation to answer all the time though; I am sporadic and naggy, but lovingly.

[identity profile] cityverse.livejournal.com 2008-01-09 10:24 pm (UTC)(link)
I'M SORRY, MY AUTOMATIC REACTION IS ALWAYS "LOL WE HAVE FANS, WHAT?" As long as you aren't secretly an ax murderer in fangirl disguise, I will totally respect you and your dedication. XD

Ahaha, well I can pretty much predict and summarize all of my January posts: AKSDGHFKJSHDS MY CLASSES SUCK, WHY AM I AT SCHOOL? Fuck this, I'm going home on the weekend. Also, SuJu is gay and fandom makes me sad.

YOU WON'T BE MISSING MUCH ON THIS END.

GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR MIDTERMS. I know you'll do well! Just--

Wow, that picture of Lee Junki is really, really girly. I'm so distracted by it every time.

But, er, what I mean to say is that just try to stay focused despite the online addiction. Block off study times and internet time! Speaking of which, I need to go to work now. Gah.

[identity profile] phasera.livejournal.com 2008-01-09 02:54 am (UTC)(link)
THAT... is one hell of a schedule. O_O

awwwwwwwww, i was totally expecting the beta-work to be set aside, and i was like: "mei doesn't have time for me, i must brace for the disappointment! ;~~~;"

but..... *HUUUUGGGGS* :D i feel loved. ♥

(no but seriously, if you are ever just too busy or overwhelmed at the time, never never feel obligated to beta for me, mmkay? :x plzdonotkillyourself.)

yay! let's work hard! fighting! ^-^9

[identity profile] meiface.livejournal.com 2008-01-09 09:58 pm (UTC)(link)
I will whine a lot (be glad you're not subject to it, haha) but I will survive. ♥ BUT I DEFINITELY WANT TO STILL BETA. I love your Goongverse. And it will keep me kind of in touch with SuJu. Someone told me EHB9 had been subbed today and I was all "WHAT? WHERE? HOW?" It's only been two days and already I'm so out of the loop. Tragic! (Especially because I won't have time to watch it until the weekend anyway...)

(There may be times when I am aljflskdsl about time commitments but I will let you know case-by-case. I'm pretty sure I can make time though, so :D. ♥)

[identity profile] ludicmelody.livejournal.com 2008-01-09 03:11 am (UTC)(link)
Oh man, you have a LOT to do. o.O;

... *waves a "GO MEI!" flag around.8D* January is blah for me too. guh, exams. >.> 10 exams, not fun!

And it took me about 10 minutes to write this comment; the SuJu gay was just too good a distraction. OMG~ HANDS ON HIPS! KISS ON EARS! ♥~!

[identity profile] emeraldcrystal.livejournal.com 2008-01-09 04:40 am (UTC)(link)
agh. RL. You have so much to do! Good luck.

And I think it's a fact of life now, Suju = the gay. ♥

[identity profile] celerywench.livejournal.com 2008-01-10 03:32 am (UTC)(link)
*\o/* gluck with your last sem mei!!! =D I hope you get straight As! and teach me the secrets to your success!!! xP

I will certainly miss seeing you around lj and msn though =(

oh and Big Bang's Lies chorus? totally stuck in my head. xD; *addicted!!*

[identity profile] rawthorne.livejournal.com 2008-01-10 08:15 pm (UTC)(link)
As promised, here are chapters 8 (http://community.livejournal.com/miracle______/968282.html) and 9 (http://community.livejournal.com/miracle______/976659.html) of Apologia. Enjoy! :)

[identity profile] arccie.livejournal.com 2008-01-12 06:38 am (UTC)(link)
So busy Mei.
At least you've got your time management/self control properly organised.
...and I'll attempt to only spam appropriately.
Good luck with that list of jobs.

:)

::loveslovesloves::

Thank you! I'm working around a time-management schedule that I hope will prove effective in helping me--not fail out of college. XD; And get good grades. And graduate. Yes. ♥

[identity profile] rawthorne.livejournal.com 2008-01-13 07:51 pm (UTC)(link)
I have more distractions: chapter 10 (http://community.livejournal.com/miracle______/985192.html) of Apologia has been posted. Hope you like!
