Because I've been replaying this over and over on Youtube, I thought I might as well rip the song so I could just leave Repeat on in iTunes:

» Super Junior - 너라고 (It's You) (MF, ripped from here)

I figure it can at least tide us over until the repackaged album is actually out!

Done packing! My boxes and furniture are ready to be moved into storage tomorrow, and then I get to goof off (actually!) for about a day, and I fly home to NC on Tuesday night...

Oh quick random poll because I was wondering earlier today (and because I like seeing other people's journal talk about things besides just fandom - it gives people depth! :D)--

[Poll #1397793]

So I've taken an interest in food blogs recently because I have time to cook and bake again. Do you guys have any favorite recipes? Lunch foods, dinner foods, or desserts. Anything is welcome!

Or! Recommend a favorite book or recent love, because I am going to be flying a lot this month (and in August), so I would love something to read on a fourteen-hour-flight, for instance. (I'm particularly woeful that going to China in May means I'll be missing out on the June U.S. release of

sarahtales's The Demon's Lexicon...what are the chances of China having it? Not so good, huh?)

have you read "kitchen" by banana yoshimoto? it's a little bittersweet, but very cute. :) "goodbye tsugumi" by her is also kind of painful, but i loved that one too. ♥

I have not! I haven't really had time to read for fun in ages and ages (...probably since college started) and the few snatches of time I got, I tended to reread books I already I knew I loved, because it was much more relaxing.

But I kind of want to discover some new loves now too~ Thanks for the recs! :D

*breaks that whole not-commenting streak*

Don't know if you've ever read The Perks of Being a Wallflower by Steven Chbosky, but it's one of my favorite books evaaaar so I have to be loud about reccing it.

The Gemma Doyle Trilogy by Libba Bray is my current favourite series.

WHAT THE- WHERE IS THIS RL JOURNAL?

Anything by Terry Pratchett is guaranteed to be hilarious. But Good Omens which he wrote with Neil Gaiman (who is equally awesome) is my favorite.

I don't know if you can see who votes in a poll.... but yeah, that's right. >:(

I have this huge list of Books to Read Once I Have a Life, and just glancing at it, I could recommend "The Forest of Hands and Teeth" and "All the King's Men"? I haven't read either, obviously, but a lot of people have raved over the former (like

sarahtales), and the latter is just a personal interest, yay rising corrupt politicians!

(also i think the digital single of It's You has been released?)

Ooooh, ooh yes I knew lots of kids in hs who loved it yet somehow I never got around to reading it. Weird!

Oooh, what's it about? What genre? :O

Hahaha my roommate

kasugai_gummie stayed up one night til 6am reading that and was SO ASHAMED OF HERSELF. It was hilarious. And yet there must be something compelling about Skip Beat if it kept her interested so long...! (Especially since she's usually a shounen person...)

Skip Beat! is really good ghksajd. *3* ♥

WHATTA BITCH. IHU2.

Ooh yes I should start with her recs; they tend to be good and the style of books I like. I read "All the King's Men" in 11th grade English...it was okay. I don't remember loving it, but I was young, and tended no to love the assigned readings.

(Jeez! No one tells me these things. Yay for a better quality rip~ :3 Now of the other 3 songs...!)

I adore Pterry and have read close to everything he's written. I'll probably pick up at least one of his books for the flight. :) And I own a much read and much beloved copy of Good Omens. I rec it out to other people too!

You should give me a summary!

The only problem is that I want a hard copy of a book to read on the plane, and scanlated manga doesn't really work for that... :(

It's a fantasy series set in 1898 London in a girl's prepatory school... It's well written, and the main character (Gemma) has a very dry, intelligent wit and is definitely no Bella Swan. :') Basically she learns of her magical inheritance and has to try and bring order to the magic to the Realm, blah blah blah.

shadesofmei~

It's been kept on the DL because...I don't like to mix too much fandom and RL but...yes! I have lots of tedious/similar/whiny entries haha.

Ooooh lovely, lovely! I will definitely try these out sometime. :D Thanks!

Girl is in love with childhood friend -- served his family and was being trained to be his future wife. Boy wants to be a pop star and moves to Tokyo, bringing her along with him. She quits school and works two jobs to support him and herself, not sparing any of her money for anything for herself other than basic necessities, etc. etc. Dedicates her life to him, blah blah

Girl finds out boy was just using her as his slave of sorts. Girl seeks out revenge on boy, denounces love and stops believing in it, etc. etc.

Seeks revenge by surpassing him in the entertainment industry.

It's basically about her finding herself through acting, and her tenacity and ferocity to get something she wants. Since it's shoujo there's definitely a love factor, but it's very humorous and the main character is just. ghakdljh I have never loved a shoujo manga protagonist as much as I adore her. SHE'S SO HILARIOUS.

/horrible at summaries.

Oh that sounds lovely. Especially the no Bella Swan bit. ;) Plus I like fantasies and prep schools and...yes. Will look out for this!

It is rather fabulous. ♥ It took me a while to get into the first book, but once I did I zoomed through the last two. Definitely read it if you get the chance!

OH NOOO, LEAKAGE-CONTROLLING FANS MADE YWH TAKE IT DOWN. ;_; Tell me you have it? Or maybe bestfiction. /goes to check

Oh yay they have it. I need to put this song on repeat. ♥

Intriguing intriguing...! I love shoujo manga where I can love the main character. Perfect Girl Evolution is like that for me and...I'm sure there were other shoujo manga but they don't come to mind as readily.

It's so good! I definitely recommend it. ♥

WHAT DID THEY. I hate these people. It wasn't even really a leak sldkfhsleifhlaseihflaskdfj GAR FANS >:(

I should listen to it again and see why it's so nice!

I have soooo many books to readddd. Like, 16. :( I haven't even read Good Omens, sob.

I haven't even read Good Omens

WE CANNOT BE FRIENDS. /DRAMATIC
