[meme] associated words + guess my idol :D

[meitachi]

It was an epic match. :| I guess I should congratulate both Federer and Roddick even though I am for some reason inherently biased against both. Like. A lot. Like, they are my two least favorite pro tennis players and ideky? I wanted Murray or Djokovic or Haas...if I couldn't have Rafa, of course. Still, good tennis is good tennis, even if I didn't end up watching the match. That's probably why I'm so :/ because just hearing about it is never as soul-stirring as watching it. I blame my lack of TV.

In other news, my brother (who is twelve and has unfortunately? fortunately? a pretty face) IMed me this past Wednesday:

Him: I want hair like Yesung's.
Me: Good god, I hope not. Have you seen his hair lately? It's atrocious.
Him: Okay I just googled it. I want my hair like Yesung's from EHB.
Me: (to myself) I despair that you know of such things. I do. Have I ruined you for life in America?
Me: (to him) You should wait until after puberty to grow your hair out like that.
Him: My sideburns have to grow another three inches before they're long enough. How long does that take? A few months?
Me: (to him) I don't think this hair very common on guys in the U.S. It's more suitable for guys in Asia.
Me: (to myself) BECAUSE IT WILL GET YOU BEAT UP BY BULLIES. SOB. WHAT HAVE I DONE?

What have I done indeed? T___T Here, have a meme to distract myself from my guilt...

Reply to this meme by yelling "Words!" and I will give you five words that remind me of you. Then post them in your LJ and explain what they mean to you.

Five words as given to me by ch_ar_me:

© china;

China is home, to me. China is exciting and different, but so familiar, all the same. It's family and delicioud foods and new experiences and trying to learn better Mandarin. China is being mistaken for Korean, being mistaken for a native Beijinger. China is old family friends, thousands of years of history, and a shopping heaven. It's sometimes dirty, sometimes smelly, sometimes heartbreaking - but China is still that nebulous idea of "home" to me. Not the way NC and family is home - but in the way that you recognize yourself in the people and language and culture.

© kihae;

KiHae is gut-wrenchingly, heartbreakingly my favorite and perfect OTP dynamic. This is what KiHae means to me. On a slightly related note, go watch Donghae in Ariel Lin's Firefly MV and see how he totally breaks my heart into pieces because he's, simply, my favorite.

© let's kangteuk;

I remember really liking this catchphrase back when I was in love with KangTeuk - it was so cute and fun and cheerful. They are like an old married couple for me now...I guess I grew out of loving their dynamic. They were shades of dysfunctional all throughout, so much potential for both fluff and angst. I think it's obvious that they each mean a lot to the other even stripped of fandom's slash goggles, and I'm okay leaving it at that now.

© ~*~arms of sex~*~;

Kim Kibum and his guns. This is what ~*~arms of sex~*~ means to me annd always will. I am happy to report that other idols have made a concentrated effort in developing their own. Siwon has always had nice arms but he just doesn't elicit the same horomonal response from me for some reason - no idea why. But mm Donghae should absolutely continue working out in China. :9

© cute clothing;

I am a girl when it comes to cute clothing; I am not built to carry off a sexy look, so cute is my default a lot of times. Though I do have to be in the mood to go hunting for cute clothes and putting together a cute outfit - sometimes I am just too tired to be a girl, haha.

And another meme as ganked from magicmelodyx and sapphira_angel:

1. I'll make a list describing 20 of my favorite idols, without using their names.
2. People will comment, guessing who each one is.
3. As they're guessing, I'll cross out the clues and add next to each one the answer, and who guessed it.
4. You copy these instructions into your journal and we play again!


REAL LIST
01. I judge people by whether or not they like him, I do. I feel like the people who don't like him just don't understand why he's awesome, or don't really get that he is more than just the persona he displays, and that means they are the less awesome for it. KIM HEECHUL Guessed by rain_streaked!

02. He needs to go around in life singing his way through it like it's a musical. CHO KYUHYUN Guessed by papered!

03. He's about the only one out of the group I really like or care about. I think it's the sweetness and goofiness more than the sex appeal image, haha. JUNG YUNHO Guessed by sapphira_angel!

04. He was my first love and I miss his smile. KIM KIBUM Guessed by forochel!

05. He really is incredibly artistic and gifted and I love what a pretty girl he makes crossdressing, haha. Even if sometimes what he does to his hair and clothes makes me cringe. G-DRAGON Guessed by ch_ar_me!

06. I remember being iffy on him at first but he's absolutely won me over with his gorgeous, gorgeous voice and smile and earnestness. And the fact that he is a total little girl. ZHOU MI Guessed by papered!

07. She is so hot. Haters can sit down, okay? But I also love how much fun she seems to have in oversized men's shirts and shorts, getting dirty. LEE HYORI Guessed by papered!

08. If you don't know that I love him best of all my idols, you don't know me at all. LEE DONGHAE Guessed by everyone papered!

09. I love her pretty face and her pretty voice and it's not my fault she stole my heart completely and ended up my number one of her group. JESSICA JUNG Guessed by papered!

10. I don't care at all about the Japanese pop scene anymore...but if I did, I'd probably care about him. He was the one I liked best first anyway until stupid fandom changed my mind for the other half of his OTP. KAMENASHI KAZUYA Guessed by forochel!

11. She's my favorite girl group leader. :) MIN SUNYE Guessed by filterpaper!

12. For all that he doesn't really inspire gushing in me, I do still love him. Fondly. He's the pride of a country. Or the other way around. HAN GENG Guessed by ch_ar_me!

13. It's been years since I've properly been their fangirl, but I will forever like his boxy smile (and be anal about his band name.) TACHIBANA KEITA Guessed by forochel!

14. The cutest thing in Asian entertainment industry right now. HENRY LAU Guessed by ch_ar_me!

15. He gets a lot of flak for being an idol to middle school girls, but he does write and compose a lot of his own songs and he's trying out a lot of different sounds for something that works for him. I don't know if he is a ~true artist~, but I like a lot his songs, even if I curse at how deep/cultural his lyrics are. JAY CHOU Guessed by forochel!

16. I suppose he gets an obligatory mention for the few months he was number one in my heart. What an emokid, but he does try. PARK JUNGSU/EETEUK Guessed by magicmelodyx!

17. He can sing but they're never going to let him because he is so bloody sexy when rapping. Such a woobie inside though, which I find adorable. T.O.P. Guessed by magicmelodyx!

18. Haters need to get over the fact that she said something dumb because she's only human and she's learned from it. I love how fun she is and how pretty and her family background makes me tear up. TIFFANY HWANG Guessed by rain_streaked!

19. I think I'm learning to hate his fandom portrayals more and more, but god do I think he is awesome irl. He's sweet and funny and capable and charming to all the noonas, but in such an earnest, non-sexual way, and I like it. LEE SUNGMIN Guessed by rain_streaked!

20. He's my favorite tennis player. RAFAEL NADAL Guessed by forochel and rain_streaked, both very tentatively, lol, and ch_ar_me with more certainty.


THAT IS MY REAL LIST. Guess away! For anyone who wants to take a look at how my list was originally going to go...feel free to guess here too, lol. Obvious much?

OBVIOUS LIST
01. I like them guns. :9
02. Bias forever. Best ever. FAVORITE.
03. Why can't he sing forever? T___T
04. I JUST WANT HIM TO DUET WITH KYU IN CHINESE PLEASE.
05. He's better than you and he knows it. ): And you should know it too.

You got Yunho! :D You might be able to get 16 and 17 too~

[konnistique.livejournal.com]

[meiface.livejournal.com]

DONGHAE IS UP THERE. ALL OVER. ): Or at least all over #8! :D

askfjlsk sob, seriously, what have I done to my brother? Hope he'll be okay. :( :( Maybe he'll grow up to be the next...Kyuhyun...since right now he's pretty geeky, haha.

[magicmelodyx.livejournal.com]

...your brother. XD

Ooh, more memes. WORDS, please!

Oh, and 16 and 17--Eeteuk and TOP? Not really sure but I figured I'd hazard a guess.

[meiface.livejournal.com]

Eee yes on 16 and 17. :D

Words: Epik High, Hyukjae, Kihae bias, heartmarks (i.e. ♥), and coherency. :3 See how you do~

[receipt.livejournal.com]

[meiface.livejournal.com]

AND I AM JUDGING YOU FOR IT.

No, darn, I decided I liked you before I even knew who Heechul was. :( I guess that exempts you.

[filterpaper.livejournal.com]

OKAY YO I NEED MORE PICS OF YOUR BROTHER :((((((( also he is fine~ all the cool asian kids here have hair like yesung idols :Dv

[meiface.livejournal.com]

alskdjf oh my brother. ): PICS IF I CAN GET THEM.

[filterpaper.livejournal.com]

11 SUNYE!!! :[

[meiface.livejournal.com]

EEE YAY I KNEW YOU WOULD GET IT \O/

[suxing.livejournal.com]

laaate, and therefore missed all the fun, but just wanted to say lol your brother is cute and i approve with all(?? i think?) your idol favorites.

also your "obvious" list makes me :D

[meiface.livejournal.com]

All my idol favorites are up! :O Though I know your list would have some people not on mine. :3

lol obvious list makes me happy. ♥

[black-goose.livejournal.com]

EVERYTHING IS GONE :( and that obvious list, that's just too obvious. 01, though, in the not-obvious, YES YES YES. I JUDGE EPICALLY. WHAT KIND OF PERSON DOESN'T LIKE HEECHUL?

WORDS :D

[meiface.livejournal.com]

HEECHUL, HANCHUL, HSAU, fucking longfic, aaand chatlogs. :D

BTW LOOK I STOLE YOUR ICON SO WE CAN MATCH! By which I mean get distracted by arms of sex...

[mardigrasmaven.livejournal.com]

Since everything's been guessed, I'll just flail over how cute your 12 year old little brother is. EHB Yesung hair... awwwww~

[meiface.livejournal.com]

Cute? Or ruined for life? haha oh maan.

[chrestomanci]

screaming. i have not seen this guess the idol meme in so long. little known fact: i created it like two years ago jwoejaogjgowe

[meiface.livejournal.com]

OMG LAUGHING you BNF!! /claims you for my flist forever!

[hoyah.livejournal.com]

WORDS!

also regarding your list

1) 8D I think I do this, too. When people say they don't like Kim HeeChul I am just like "you... are missing out."
3) Of course I have to say something, but yesss ;_; I... also judge people by whether they like him for his looks or his personality. Why am I so judgmental. 8D
18) Was not expecting to see her on this list. :O ... I think I also judge people based on whether or not they like Tiffany. /)o(\ Homg why are my biases so obvious?

[meiface.livejournal.com]

Words: Yunho, Yoona bias, San Francisco, YeWook, Mabudachi trio~

18 - ksjfsk she is my second favorite after Jessica. :| Yeah, how this happend, I'm not sure, but I love her.

[hoyah.livejournal.com]

xD real list

1) shiwon?
2) donghae
3) kyuhyun
4) zhou mi
5) heechul

[meiface.livejournal.com]

alskjfdkjf correct on every one but the first! Technically Siwon has nicer arms, sure, but I am only ridiculous over Kibum's, lol.

[recarte.livejournal.com]

Aw, the conversation between you and your brother is hilarious.

~*~arms of sex~*~
Haha, I will always associate that w/ you and Kibum. xD

Words please!

[meiface.livejournal.com]

That association is my goal in life, lmao.

Words: TJ high, family (esp your cousin), SAT (!! just now really, bc of your classes), icons, friendship

(well these or all of your past journal names, haha)

[mondaythe26th.livejournal.com]

:( missed all the fun. Anyway, can we exchange brothers?

I have no qualms in ruining a younger brother in that way XD but sadly I'm stuck with someone who doesn't give a damn on who or what I fangirl over.

[meiface.livejournal.com]

hahaha oh my poor brother. We'll see how he turns out. :3 But I'm pretty fond of him, ruined as he is haha.
