things that make me happy include ayumi~


Ayumi Lee - 이 아유미

I didn't mean to make a pimp post for her, honestly. I was planning on making a post asking someone to tell me who she was so I could fangirl her properly, but I got curious and googled her. Oh Google, you are so useful. As is Wikipedia.

Ayumi is also known as Ahyoomi or Ahyoomee, because Korean romanization is a lie. She's totally Korean but was born Ito Ayumi in Japan; she moved to Korea and now speaks the language fluently. If by fluently we mean the way Hankyung speaks it, yeah. ;) I kid, I kid. Her Korean is much better than Hannie's!

Are we curious as to why Ayumi caught my attention at all? Well, these subbed episodes of Love Letter (and Xman, but I haven't had time to watch those yet) helped a lot. She's completely adorable on them: cute and ditzy but not in an irritating way--more in the way where I just want to fangirl her a lot. Which I'm doing! :D

Plus, I think she's really, really pretty. And sooo cute with Hankyung in this episode of LL. I would totally support this Korean-challenged couple. ♥

Here, have some pics:

She used to be part of the Korean girl group "Sugar" but I think she's solo now. She sang the theme song to Cutie Honey here and, daaamn, she's sexy:



And then here's her explaining her name and performing part of "Cutie Honey" on Star Golden Bell (ahhh, I love Korean variety shows!) while being all flustered and embarrassed at the end.

Here's more of her being embarrassed after doing the Joonbiddesohyo dance on Love Letter. (She's sooooo cuuuuute, omg. :">)

Also on Love Letter is a dance battle where Ayumi performs with fellow Sugar member Soo Jin and they get kinda hardcore, breaking away from their cute image. It's hot, I like it. I'm biased, I know.

Oh man, and a clip from Xman China: Dangyunhaji with Kibum vs. Ayumi (eng subbed). Damn, I need to watch more Xman.

Then there's Ayumi talking and crying on YSMM (♥ YSMM) about her ex-boyfriend. ;____________; It's such a sad story and it makes me like her even more.

I think I'm going to go listen some of her music now, if I can find it, haha. And, randomly, she has a good relatonship with Hankyung, Kibum, and Siwon because she's worked with them on various variety shows.

Now, meme time!

From [livejournal.com profile] forochel:

Give 10 people your love for making your day. If I have given my love to you, spread it: but only to 10 more people, because people do have overlapping flists.

It's probably indicative of how much less time I've been spending on LJ (interaction-wise, at least) that most of the people I think of right off the bat who've made me happy recently have been IRL...and almost all the people on LJ who've made me happy relate in some way to suJu (because that is all I do on LJ now, haha).

01. [livejournal.com profile] suxing; I missed you while you were in China! Which was ages ago now, I know, but I'm happy to be in fandom with you. Your super long fangirly comments have made me incredibly happy too. They're so nice to see after a long crappy day of classes or whatnot. ♥ I love fangirling with you.
02. [livejournal.com profile] sapphira_angel; 08 makes me happy. :) Being in SJ fandom with you makes me happy. You loving Goong a lot also makes me happy.
03. [livejournal.com profile] nightengale; I've missed talking to you too, wifey. I'm glad things are at the point where we both have time to catch up some. And I'm so happy for you re: Sam. Also Mezi adoption was fun and lovely~
04. [livejournal.com profile] forochel; Your comments always make me smile, even/especially when they are all capslocked. It's just so you. ♥ (What makes me less happy is you stressing out about school and getting a complex. Please don't. You are so much better than you credit yourself.)
05. [livejournal.com profile] mezi99360; You make me happy because you are the newly-adopted daughter! More people in the EF to get to know better and to come to love is always a good thing. I look forward to lots of time together in the future~
06. [livejournal.com profile] wakkawoo; You getting into Big Bang makes me happy and excited and fangirly. Please listen to their music and adore them and I am resisting the urge to jump up and down! Also, their dances are amazingly fun to try to learn. XD Youtube is gold, especially if you search "idance".
07. [livejournal.com profile] puppycadet; Her SuJu fics take me to a land of fangirly bliss. Her newest fic (genderswitch done right) made so very happy indeed.
08. [livejournal.com profile] lille_bean; Getting to talk to you via FB makes me happy because more venues of communication mean a better chance of getting to know each other better. :D Plus you are always fun to flail with (though I refuse to get into FT Island, lol).
09. [livejournal.com profile] nittle_grasper; Please adore Big Bang more and more. XD I will aid you in whatever I can. Talking to you just makes me happy in general (but especially when it's about SJ Youtube videos or Korean boy bands). Hurray!
10. [livejournal.com profile] meritjubet; You learning (or attempting to learn) SuJu names makes me happy. :D


From [livejournal.com profile] nemesis_cry and [livejournal.com profile] murasaki_plum (and indirectly from [livejournal.com profile] angelinaii too!):

The rules are easy, just post 10 things that recently made you happy! Then tag 10 people everyone on your friendslist and force strongly encourage them to post this meme on their LJs. Because it is good. Everyone needs a little happiness once in a while.

01. Getting accepted into Washington University (in St. Louis) School of Law~
02. Apologia Pro Vita Sua (SJ AU, organized crime, postcyberpunk)
03. gomdorii has finished subbing EHB12! Part 1 has been uploaded.
04. Earl Grey tea~
05. My February playlist! It is again dominated by Korean music but there's some English/Japanese/Chinese stuff on it too, and it makes me happy. (Also, specifically, Epik High and Clazziquai Project are A+.)
06. My new layout and profile layout.
07. A happy wifey. :)
08. Learning informal Korean slang that I absolutely cannot use when I visit the country unless I want to seriously offend everyone I meet! And yet it's so funny.
09. Planning a roadtrip to Atlanta with [livejournal.com profile] efio_47 for the weekend of March 1. (Do any of you live down that way?)
10. Writing. ♥

I tag: 10 people who want to do this meme.

Happy Valentine's Day ♥

I'm glad to know my descent into boyband hell is making you happy XD;

BIG BANG IS TOO CUTE. Went through all your old pimp posts today v__v; Seungri...please stop being underage so I can lust after you properly.

And I love Ayumi too, from watching too many variety shows involving SuJu. Have you seen her vs. Kibum on Xman? Also very cute. She and Hankyung were adorable! Especially when Kang Ho Dong tried to trick him into saying "2" instead of "1" and Ayumi was like "NOOOO HE'S TRICKING YOUUU!"

...EHB 12??? GOD. FINALLY.

[identity profile] meiface.livejournal.com 2008-02-17 01:07 am (UTC)(link)
It indeed makes me happy. I firmly believe that if I am going to fangirl 13-member-boy-bands or the like, I need other sane fangirls here with me. XD

Oh Big Baaaaang. I love them so much. Do you have their music? Would you like more of their music? What else do I need to throw your way? Though I'm not in its fandom, rly, unless I lurk. I mostly enjoy the music/perfs. ♥ (I might have said this before haha. It's been a long week.)

Ayumi is soooo cute. I feel so weird fangirling a girl--it's been forever since I've done that! (If ever? Wow.)

EHB12 was a thing of beauty. And I finally watched 13! My roommate and I almost fell off our chairs laughing when Teukie ran away from the dog that kept following him. XD (Also, SuJu boys in SWAT uniforms was hot.)

I AM KIND OF NOT STRESSED THOUGH, OVER SCHOOLWORK. WHICH IS WORRYING. 8D; AH, MY LIFE.

oooh, the new layout/userinfo are both quite shiny and snazzy indeed. ^-^

[identity profile] meiface.livejournal.com 2008-02-17 12:23 am (UTC)(link)
Obviously the Korean boyband phase is making itself at home. It'll be here for awhile, I feel. XD

[identity profile] meritjubet.livejournal.com 2008-02-14 10:59 am (UTC)(link)
Well, I got the Hangyung reference (except I suck at spelling), so :P and I know who Leader is and several others! *is learning*

I kind of make LJ my fandom retreat ^___^

LEEEADDER. My favorite. ♥

And I think you got it right the first time! Hankyung! His Chinese name is Han Geng though, so you'll see both.

[identity profile] meritjubet.livejournal.com 2008-02-17 12:56 am (UTC)(link)
..I suck. And cripes, this could get complicated :P

[identity profile] meiface.livejournal.com 2008-02-17 01:04 am (UTC)(link)
Half of them are using stage names, so there are real names to master too. ;_; Life is so difficult for us fangirls!

[identity profile] meritjubet.livejournal.com 2008-02-17 01:06 am (UTC)(link)
You never told me this! *gapes*

The pretty better be worthwhile :P

[identity profile] meiface.livejournal.com 2008-02-17 01:08 am (UTC)(link)
the [livejournal.com profile] super_junior comm profile helps a lot! I reference it all the time. But, er, don't worry about real names, seriously. Wait until after you've grapsed the basic 13. XD ♥

It is so worth it. I will put fic recs up this week that will help!

[identity profile] meritjubet.livejournal.com 2008-02-17 01:10 am (UTC)(link)
Thank you, Mei :) :)

*grins* I thought so! And I'll be waiting for it (wow, that sounds pathetic).

[identity profile] loveblackcoffee.livejournal.com 2008-02-14 02:02 pm (UTC)(link)
you should watch her manwon happiness with minwoo it was hilarious...the things she did for food...hehe

i guess she's okay...its rather sad cus in other eppies of LL and xman she gets paired up with losers but in that one eppie she got hankyung...but sadly they were a sad sad couple

[identity profile] meiface.livejournal.com 2008-02-17 12:30 am (UTC)(link)
Ooh, I should! There is so much on YT that I should watch and yet I have such little time. It's tragic.

I think it's funny when the girls get paired with losers like Kim Jong Min. It makes the show funnier. XD And Jung Eum or what's her face is paired with him a lot. I should try to watch more Xman...

[identity profile] rawthorne.livejournal.com 2008-02-14 03:28 pm (UTC)(link)
I loved Ayumi in that one LoveLetter episode with Hankyung. She was cute and air-head-ish without being annoying. It was the kind of wide eyed wonderment that is almost attractive on a girl.

And heh, I keep seeing St. Louis University and going: my uni has a partnership with that! And then I reread and go 'hmm, probably St Louis has more than one university around, y/y."

[identity profile] rawthorne.livejournal.com 2008-02-15 11:18 am (UTC)(link)
Aaand I forget to link back to you. Again.

Here's chapters 25 (http://community.livejournal.com/miracle______/1083443.html) and 26 (http://community.livejournal.com/miracle______/1086141.html).

We're so close to being done...

She was cute and air-head-ish without being annoying. It was the kind of wide eyed wonderment that is almost attractive on a girl.

Precisely! But then I watched some of her performances and also her on Xman and...she's not as ditzy as she came off in that LL episode! She can carry off the sexy and she's got a quick wit/retort, kind of like Heechul. It's sort of odd and yet endearing. :">

Yes, definitely more than on uni in St. Louis! But, still, very cool! :D

[identity profile] celerywench.livejournal.com 2008-02-14 04:31 pm (UTC)(link)
Aaaaaaah people like you need to stop being so awesome and loving to me!!!! I'm supposed to be a bitter old maid yo >.< lol (like yesterday we were making valentine's day cookies and we made a heart in the center and i was like "yes lets eat it and crush it and break it apart into a million pieces and throw it at men. MEN SUCK." xD;;;; )

♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ I love talking to you on fb and on lj and on msn lol. =] Hahaha its ok, you can fall in love with FT Island when they are older and even more devastatingly handsome (cuz right now I just want to squee over them and pinch their cheeks and teach them how to get girls properly hahahaah)


Oh and for informal Korean slang: Pagiposo!!!! and Narangtaja!!! (i'm going by pronounciation btw not corrent spelling ^^) Dont worry about what they mean =D just feel free to say them to hot korean boys :P

[identity profile] meiface.livejournal.com 2008-02-17 01:09 am (UTC)(link)
But I think awesome people deserve to be recognized. :) I would say more but I'm seriously dying of hunger after a ridiculously long week/day. So I will conclude with ♥♥ and I hope to talk to you more around! When I am less hungry, dammit.

I did, I did. It was <3.

Hehe, but I shan't be bugging you with links and comments now!

[identity profile] meiface.livejournal.com 2008-02-17 06:19 pm (UTC)(link)
But I loved spammy comments with links! We must continue other comments and conversation now.
