fishpatrol1. Damn those bright, distracting, pink plastic things
The bruise on the inside of my thigh is still there from last week. I got it from walking straight into one of these bike posts because I was too busy staring up at a pink plastic flamingo whose head was sticking over the balcony of an apartment building to look where I was going. =___=;;
2. I'll appreciate this when I'm forty
This morning (before 8am on a Saturday! D:), my parents dragged me out of bed to go to a conservation area park thingie. I was snoozing in the backseat with my glasses off and my headphones on, and apparently I looked young enough to pass for a child because we were only charged for two adults and a child ticket at the entrance. I'm hoping "child" equals "16 and under" and not the usual "12 and under". LOL;;;
3. My mommy is lol♥
My mom and I were sitting on a park bench waiting for my dad to finish fishing and I was making her listen to SJ-M songs. I told her about Henry being Chinese-Canadian and a dancing violin player, and my mom was like, "You play the violin -- you can put your hair under a hat and join them."* ;;; And later I revealed my nefarious plans to convince her to like the kind of music I like so that she would willing buy CDs and other merchandise for me when she goes to China, and I told her about the limited edition SJ-M CD which seems to be only purchasable in China. She was like, "Why don't you just have it shipped to your aunt and when your dad goes to China, he can pick it up for you. Or you can even ship it to my friend's place." After her initial, "Why are you still chasing boybands at your age?" (her exact words were, "你这么大还追星啊?"), she's been surprisingly nice about my crazy obsessions (including things like, "You want to fly all the way to LA for a concert? Okay, let me call your uncle and see if you can stay at his place.") XD<3
*-She must be the fourth or fifth person now to imply that I look like a guy (other people who have said so directly include my best friend and my ex-boyfriend...in a teasing manner, of course ;)). Kind of makes me want to dress up like a guy for a day and see if I can manage to successfully pass as one, heh. XD
4. Tenipuri songs are educational, okay
We saw an plane with a long streaming white tail of clouds. I pointed up and said, "That's called a contrail."
My head has been saturated with useless words lately because I've been studying for the GREs.
5. There are no such things as stupid questions, right?
Okay, so in Korean shows you often hear people refer to their friends by their names plus an "yi/ie" -- e.g. Sungminnie, Kibummie, Jaejoongie. Is the "ie" a form of endearment, indicating a close relationship, or is it actually the subject particle "이"? I can't recall if I've ever heard one person call another [insert name]-ie -- usually it's [insert name]-ah/yah ("ah" or "yah" depending on whether the ending letter is a consonant or a vowel, I assume). I could be totally off the mark. Idk. XD

Date: 2008-07-07 06:42 pm (UTC)Hee, yay, my favourite topic to ramble about! ;D Super Junior is the original 13-boy band -- they have several subgroups as well, including Super Junior Mandarin (SJ-M). The difference between SJ-M and all the other subgroups, other than the language difference, is that there are two members (out of a total of seven) who are not part of the original SJ group that were added into SJ-M, which caused outrage among certain sectors of the fandom (some of the Korean fangirls were absolutely livid -- it's a bit funny from an outsider's point of view ;)). If you want any of their music, just let me know! :D I'm pretty sure I have the entire discography of SJ and all of the subgroups, lol.
