back from the Big Apple weekend of my dreams

[meitachi]

(fannish)

• So it looks like Han Geng is leaving SJ no matter how the lawsuit turns out. No Geng bashing in this post, please. If you're curious about my thoughts, just ask; otherwise, I don't really feel the need to soapbox my opinions.


• Donghae is a gorgeous thing both inside and out.


• I will continue to write them as I do, whenever I am inspired (i.e., not that often recently). It's all fictionalized accounts in my head anyway.


• SNSD's story version of the Run Devil Run MV: It's a thin story but I'm always a fan of more bitchy!SNSD. :D I like 'em fierce.

(real life)

• Just came back from the most amazing weekend in NYC with swingingstars and suxing who are, respectively, my little sister and my favorite kouhai. ♥ Expect pics and stories later; right now I am busy drowning in piles of work. ;__;


• Brief summary: We had so much fun doing silly things, being touristy, camwhoring in inappropriate places, joking about everything, eating so many delicious things, singing karaoke in four languages, getting tipsy, talking about celebrity crushes, hitting on cute waiters, getting drenched in horizontal rain at midnight, sharing our fears and thoughts about families and futures, and basically making the most incredible memories ever. We all failed spectacularly at least once during the trip but it was more than made up for the fact that we are all super-awesome. :) I ♥ my girls.


• One thing among many we did was watch A Single Man, which was actually very moving: artistic without being pretentious, sad but hopeful, and generally just very good. I suppose I have a thing for introspection that isn't heavy-handed; one of the things that stood out in particular for me was the very tangible emotion you could feel between Colin Firth's character and Matthew Goode's character whenever they were on screen together. In a (not-so-sophisticated) word: achey. I also didn't have the mad fangirl crush suxing and swingingstars had on Matthew Goode or Nicholas Hoult (since I...didn't know who they were...), but they were easy on the eyes, for sure. :3 So that's a bonus.


• And hey, all y'all in Singapore (forochel, catskilt, thundersquall, others?), I got into my exchange program at NUS for Spring 2011! Who will be there? I can't believe I'm going to miss some of you. ;~;

And now back to work. At least we have gorgeous weather to buoy my mood~

... I thought there were members other than Han Geng with the lawsuit? But wow, I didn't know it had escalated to him leaving SJ.

I'm glad you had fun at NYC! I look forward to stories and pics. :D

SM can't honestly expect to keep the boy after all that. Discrimination, cockblocking him from potential work and the ability to put him out there more, messing with his money and his family and his HEALTH?!?! They treated him like a damn dog and I'm not pleased. I'm happy he got out and I support his decision esp. considering he looks healthier and happier now. JIA YOU HAN GENG!!

Well damn... that shirt is just filled to burstin... Donghae is bout to bust right out of it! But he looks SO GOOD!! :D

Awww y'all are so cute! Can't wait for the trip post.

[mardigrasmaven.livejournal.com]

The other members thing was confirmed to be a rumor. Otherwise, half of SJ would be gone. T__T

SCREAMING FOR FUCKING EVER, NUS WAS MY ALMA MATER AND YES I WILL (SADLY) STILL BE IN SINGAPORE THEN! LOOK ME UP LOOK ME UUUUUUUUUUP ♥

Also, sobbing at Geng, but... is it blasphemous of me to say that I don't love him, or SuJu, any less? Whatever it is, I wish him all the best. Just seeing him healthy and happy is enough for me. I will SO continue writing Geng, idgaf.

omg that film was BEAUTIFUL. the way they did the colouring, the way it was really desaturated and then they turned it up so that it was almost hard to look at it. I loved that.

also, lol, at about the point that the male prostitute turned up, I turned to my friend, and she just whispered, completely in awe, "why is everyone in this film so beautiful?"

hitting on cute waiters
FAILING at hitting on cute waiters more like~

Lille & Mei: *order drinks*
Waiter: ok~ anything for you?
Louise: Noooo I'm underaged!!
Lille & Mei: *headdesk*
Waiter: . . . . oh....kaaaay....
~
Lille: *stares at hunky tall waiter with the sexy tats*
Louise: *puts up hand to call waiter over*
Mei: *HISSES* PUT YOUR HAND DOWN!!!!!
Louise: @_@
~
Waiter: would you like to order a drink?
Lille: *mumblemumblemuble*
Waiter: uh...huh?
Lille: *mumblemumblemumble*
Waiter: *confused face*
Louise: . . . Can we have the drink menu please?

YES, it really really was. For some reason (I blame law school), I hadn't even heard of that film until I went up to NYC and my friends dragged me to see it. It was so gorgeous and everyone in it was beautiful, seriously. The scenes between Colin Firth and Matthew Goode made me ;~; so much though, god. Genuine, heartwrenching emotion. ♥

[meiface.livejournal.com]

hahahaha this recap made me laugh. But yes, this is basically what happened.

DID YOU CLICK ON THE DONGHAE LINKS? Omg the gorgeous pics. The first one was on haeaday and someone said: And wife beater is Donghae's new best friend, really.

Me: Actually, I think his wifebeater is my new enemy. I'll be over here staring at it and willing it to disappear.

/STARES

EEEEEEEE SHEENA I WILL GET TO SEE YOU. ♥ Well, confirming things right now because my parents are being fussy and parental as they are wont to do: still, I am almost positive I will get to go to Singapore for Spring 2011. EXCITED. ♥

Oh, dude, so not blasphemous. I love him and I love SJ and I want him to be happy and healthy no matter what, but I still love SJ. So...yeah. That's basically always my stance and I just got too lazy to reiterate it over and over, lol.

[meiface.livejournal.com]

Yeah, it was just Geng's lawsuit. The rest was all rumor. I hadn't really thought hard enough about it to think that he'd leave SJ but I guess it was inevitable with the contract dispute; the point is that he wants the freedom to do solo stuff, I guess? It just seems so unfair to him in particular because Heechul and Kibum are allowed so much leeway in terms of solo activities... Strange how they would pick on Geng. :(

Ah well, I just want them all to be happy and healthy. ♥

Omg, NYC was so fun but I am so exhausted. And so much work awaits me, wahh.

[meiface.livejournal.com]

Yeah I had no idea it was so bad - and just for him. Though I did wonder why Ariel Lin's MV featured two Korean boys instead of, you know, Geng, who is actually Chinese. (Not that I'm complaining too hard because I love that MV and Donghae is the most perfect boyfriend ever.) But I definitely support Geng too and I just want them all to be happy and healthy.

Unf, Donghae is so attractive. He totally needs to lose the wifebeater though. ;)

[emeraldcrystal.livejournal.com]

Oooh, ok, thanks for the clear-up. I've only been following DBSK's lawsuit... and one is more than enough for me. T_T

[emeraldcrystal.livejournal.com]

If that's the case then I'm glad he's going to be allowed to do more solo stuff. Favouritism is kinds terrible. :/

Ick work. Good luck!

[celerywench.livejournal.com]

LOL Usually wife beaters are a massive turn off for me because ew man boobs and macho posturing but ALDKFJADLKJF UNF DONGHAE IS SO SINEWY AND LEAN AND PULLS IT OFF SO WEEEEELL ♥ Oh god if he took it off *-* I'm pretty sure we would all like spontaneously combust ngggg.

[celerywench.livejournal.com]

Yes and this time "Who meeee? Nooooo I am totally in my room at school right now *shiftyeyes*" probably won't work ;P

[meiface.livejournal.com]

hahaha leaving the country might take a little more maneuvering, yes. I'll need them to be okay with me going to Singapore. And then I'll need SJ to come to me, lol.

[meiface.livejournal.com]

;__; Thank you!

[yueshi.livejournal.com]

I somehow... missed things...

[catskilt.livejournal.com]

*JUMPS ON YOU* TIMING IS TERRIBLE COME EARLY SO I GET TO PAMPER YOU :||| BUT EEEE YOU'RE COMING TO SINGAPORE :DDDDD ♥

dying your trip sounds epic and full of girly good stuff. PICTURE IS SO CUTE I LOVE YOUR TOP. I'll keep A Single Man in mind for watching during the holidays :D

fuck I just clicked on the Donghae picture and adl;sk;lj WHY DID YOU HAVE TO LINK THAT OH GOD WIFEBEATER. a;ldkj incoherency. did you post about anything else? whut? brain, it was nice having you.

[meiface.livejournal.com]

hahaha but Siwon wears so many wifebeaters! So douchey-ly?

[meiface.livejournal.com]

I WILL LET YOU KNOW MY SCHEDULE WHEN I AM SURE OF IT but I probably will be heading over there in early January? Late December? Actually, I am unsure of everything right now, all I know is that I got accepted to the program, hahaha. So I'll let you know. When are you leaving?




Mmmm Donghaeeeeee. :9 You know you like it. I am just willing him to get rid of the wifebeater though.

[meiface.livejournal.com]

Oh yes, this lawsuit has been in the news since late December. :( So much drama, but I just want them to be happy and healthy no matter what. It is sad though...

[meiface.livejournal.com]

hahaha I know, that would have been completely hilarious. :D

I do not like Jerry's face. It is very sad. But he could teach acting anyway!

Have you seen A Single Man?

Actually I think I'm missing you and catskilt both, boo. Spring semester would be Jan-May so...yeah, pretty sure you won't be there. IF I HAD MONEY I WOULD TOTALLY VISIT YOU IN LONDON but alas. ;__;

[catskilt.livejournal.com]

I haven't gotten any confirmation yet, so I may or may not be going. But if I do go, then most likely it'll be the first week of January.

He has to stop this whole breaking brains thing. It is very distracting.
