If good things lasted forever, would we appreciate how precious they are?"
- Hobbes from Calvin and Hobbes

I don't know the answer to that quote, but that being said, these guys have been a great source of solace and comfort to me in the last 4+ years.  Their talent, teamwork, work ethics and friendship was so impressive, and its terrible how they ended on such bad terms.They will always be my favorite Korean group.

What saddens me the most is that I never got to see them live and probably will never again see them perform together as five. 
 A bit of background information for the clueless
And the finale

I feel more opinionated these days regarding fandom and other tidbits that are not related to RL. That's not good. D:

Because now I am thinking of possibly making another journal to store any crappy art that I might upload, icons, and any ramblings I have towards things not related to RL (mostly about music 8D) If I am really in the mood I might even upload some writing/drabbles. Forecasts predict  heavy showers about music and a rarer than Mew drabble sighting lol.

So the question is, would it be something that others (and you) find interesting? Would others follow the mundane ramblings of a procrastinating college student? Should I just create a filter on this journal to make life easier to manage?!

In other news, my university and FAFSA thought I was lying on my residency application and were ready to fine me. Long story short, the FAFSA failed to send my new application after my residency status changed and sent my old applications with my Oregon residency status instead. I talked with an official, gave my sweet-girl-I-don't-be-mean-to-me-crycry expression and they apologized for wasting my time and went to fix things with FAFSA. And now everything is good to go. YUSSS

I changed up my lj layout the other day and I just remembered to announce it 8D
Checks it out! It's like the most awesome layout I've ever seen ♥

kiku_cha8_8 kiku_cha8_8 kiku_cha8_8 :DDDD

In bad news, I'm sick with the worst cold ever. I can't sleeeepp, I can't breaaaathhee D:

....What is the point of a post wants to discuss a topic that has already been discussed before, to the death, and the poster knows it?

So now the poster is on the defense "I get that this has been posted before. You don't have to comment just to say that. Cause it's getting repetative and annoying now. Comment if you have something to say about the song" What can I say if I do decide to comment? "yeah, the songs are similar but are different ^____^"?

It's nice to sometimes have repetitive posts because people are not on fandom 24/7, but what if the topic has already been thouroughly discussed twice in the past three weeks? And, what if the info is all readily available by the ever so useful Wikipedia?? I don't know.

Speaking of wikipedia, I really wish some fans would actually DO some research before posting. Good god. It bugs me sometimes when fans randomly post and ask basic information. The info is readily available in the community's memories, wikipedia, and the even more useful google. I wonder how some of these people will ever function in higher education/work. "So what is our professor's name again? I know you're busy and have a project due in five minutes but please tell me because I'm incapable of checking myself" Sigh

Another fun post that I've seen around is how does ____ eat? Do they hold a fork like this? Or like this? Do you think they would like someone feeding them instead? Er... >>;;

I think the post that wins the most is whether or not ____ is a virgin anymore and where they could have possibly lost it and with whom. WTF, you don't need to know that. XD Too bad the last two posts have been deleted....

First off, I have that bloody "Umbrella" song by Rihanna and Chris Brown stuck in my head. It's annoying.

Second~~I have just finished my little adventure in retail. Thank goodness. I actually felt kind of guilty the last couple of days because they were REALLY short on workers and are practically working everyone to death...that and they were REALLY nice to me the last week, which is odd to say the least.
 
*they remembered my breaks/lunch
*didn't really care if I was late or not. I came an hour late once ><;;
*gave me complements and encouragement (which they only do if I get a Gap card)
*actually tried to have a decent conversation with me

this was was pretty surprising, but I guess it was mostly due to me being nicer as well (because i want a good exit man!). I helped them cover shifts and generally did really well (I sold Gap cards...several in a week, which is a feat in itself that I haven't done since my first week there wtf)

I was pretty happy the last week there, I might have actually considered staying if the rest of my time there was that nice...I will miss the discounts... :( I wrote a thank you card and one of my managers got teary and sentimental over it. It was pretty cute, she was raving over the walkie how much she liked my card. lol Jenny, I <3 you too. XD

But yeah, some guy actually hit on me on my last day. He was emo and depressed about his girlfriend of several years breaking up with him right before he planned his big trip up to Washington (he's from Fresno Cali) and he thought I was a 16 year old and called me cute. D:

On a different note, I believe I have just entered my first LJ drama thingy. XD I'm more amused about it than anything else. But firstly what is with these really immature, almost hysterically territorial people out there? One critique and they get huffy. That and what is with reaaallyy crappy fanart getting a lot of complements and praise? I'm not trying to be rude myself, but I wonder how some people are even able to post up their stuff when it is only marginally better than a six year old drawing. Is it me? :x Anyways, the drama:
 
I joined the super_junior community on a whim some weeks ago and while browsing the locked posts, I found some fanart people were raving over. Naturally, I curious to see how good these are. If my face was an emoticon it would have been =/ Her drawings aren't bad...it's just that they weren't anything special. All her chibi drawings of the boys had the same face, expression, pose etc. I can't even tell which one is supposed to be who because they were so similar.  The only thing different about the drawiings was the hair and the clothing. The actual style she has is okay (they look like Strawberry Shortcake characters!) but with all the doodles looking the same....I was in the middle of commenting about it when LJ froze up, killed most of my comment and logged me out....but my point was still there with "they all look the same..." She called me a troll. Sigh.

I was going to log in and explain myself, but looking through the rest of the posts, the gal looks like a jerk. She talks mostly about how she has her own opinions and nobody can say anything against her because it's HER journal and how she doesn't particularly work well with fluff comments (omg so cute!) and pure critique (meee 8D). She also mentions several times that she's naturally talented. So yes, I'm probably not even going to bother resonding, but my snarky side reeeaallyyy wants to say "Aw, did my criticism hurt your feelings?" I'm horrible. sigh.

So yes, I have accounting class tomorrow. EW. I don't wanna goooo.

I noticed that I change fandoms a lot, and quickly...it's pretty sad actually. I still love my other fandoms, but when I find a new one, I put 95% of my fandom time into it keeping the other 5% for the older fandoms on the backburner. It's really sad you know? 

Resolution the rest of the year!: Get a better job! And learn how to multi-task with fandom =P> 
加油!    がんばります！  Hwaiting!

Major Fandom Timeline:
Sailor Moon -> Fushigi Yuugi -> Magic Knight Rayearth and Clamp's stuff -> Yuu Watase -> Manga in general -> anime counterparts -> Anime Music  -> Seiyuu Music -> Jpop/Prince of Tennis/BL -> Kpop/Tenipuri/doujinshi -> Se7en, Bi, SES/the hot boys from Tenimyu -> Johnny's -> Yamashita Tomohisa -> Japanese/Korean Dramas and TV -> DBSK/TVXQ -> Kpop Revival -> Super Junior M  -> Chinese Music -> Nostalgic Chinese music -> Nostalgic Music (from when I listened to English singing songs) -> Some American/Euro music 

I like how Sailor Moon became ABBA. How six years make a difference...a lot has happened in those six years...I feel old. XD

So...for the past three days I've been holed up at home reading the new Potter book, (yes I'm a dork) and I've just finished it today! *happy*

However, I seem to have received one of the fateful 'hundred' books with errors. While reading I found out that my book skipped from 610 to 643 and from 673 to 643 again. (Link to article here: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/19936826/) How weird is that?

Thankfully Sweethikari-chan had her copy and I was able to read it, I missed several important scenes too! I'm probably going to return it to get a fixed version...or if not, keep it. Those thingys might be worth something. XD

Also, I found my old Harry Potter and the sorcerer's stone gameboy game and I've been trying to beat it. I never beat it before because I needed more healing items/experience points. And that Voldemort keeps on killing me. D: Well, in the new game I have enough items, enough experience and I'm ready to battle Voldemort right?

And then the game glitches! I was at the part where I was supposed to lead Ron and Hermione to get the sorcerer's stone (right after Neville was tied up) and it glitched! Actually, what happened was an odd effect after I went over to check on Neville and suddenly, Hermione blocked my left side, Ron my bottom-right and Neville my front (after being petrified, lol). So now I'm stuck and I'm unable to move because I can't kick Ron out of the way.

Stupid Harry Potter.

The darn Hyotei chant is on repeat in my head. X_x
I keep on chanting it....
KATSU NO WA HYOTEI, MAKERU NO SEIGAKU!

Gaa, I can't wait for that myu to finish, it's stuck at 45%...
..Darn you Atobe, you're too good-looking

Anyhoo, today sensei wasn't here so the whole class was goofing off. Kabe and I were looking through some of sensei's idol magazines, and lo who did I find and fangirl over? ZOMG it's HYOTEI ATOBE AND SEIGAKU FUJI! ♥ Katou!♥ Aiba!♥ XD XD
Yeah, everyone was a bit creeped out by Katou's *silver* hair. (It's a wig! It's a wig for the musical he's in! After all, he is Atobe, though, his hair was purple in the anime...)

I watched the Yanagi Glomp Shirota Yuu moment, it was cuuuutee!♥ Poor Katou got no love, though he *did* take Shirota-san's glasses, that got A LOT of squeals from the audience. XD As well as his standing backflip...

And I just realized that Takuya (Jirou) is much cuter then I first realized. The interview where he was falling asleep on Kabaji was adorable. XD

I've been trying to get PoT eps. 116-120 since last night....and it's still around 33% done...sigh...Azureus is going slow on me. I wanna see Bunta darnit!

Okay...today is my last official day of staying SAT free...tommorrow I officially start the SAT prep course thing. >_> At least there's one good thing about it, one of the guys there is really really hot! *_* I'm such a sad person....

My cousin returned from L.A. today. We went to the airport to pick him and my aunt up. I was still partially asleep because we went around 8:10. I didn't fully wake up until 9:30. I felt like a walking zombie. Hahaha....

I think I'm never going to finish my Loveless fanart...whenever I actually work on it, I get distracted by my mom. Yarg....
I love Takahashi Nao-Chan so much...he's adorable.....
Zannen Munnen Mata Raishuuuu~~~!
(Not really...I just wanted to say that. XD)
