Tonight I got to see an Asian superstar in person, which totally didn't impress me at all because I never heard of Wang Leehom (王力宏) before I got to Taiwan—even though the guy was born and raised in New York. But I didn't realize how American the guy really was until he talked in person; he didn't speak in English but he was tired and distracted and had this accent when he was speaking Mandarin and I'm not even sure what it was, but something about him was like, DUDE, you are ONE OF US.

Then I watched some Youtube clips of him in Thailand and he's all, "I'm like, so fascinated just, like, looking at the writing, but it's soo hard to write. You got like—it looks like a math equation... I wish I could read this."

So American. I feel such kinship with all Americans.

I'm trying to participate in [community profile] origfic_bingo. I'm so bad at writing lately, and in the last several months I have managed one half of one bad Inception fanfiction. Since one of my classes was canceled I mean, I should have tons of time—it doesn't feel like I do, and I'm probably going to start tutoring people in English and I want to join this club that helps out some local aboriginal people. So much stuff man. I will never run out of stuff I want to do here. BUT MAYBE I'LL GET TO THE WRITING. MAYBE.

I can't stop listening to this horrible K-pop song, I think it's killing me from the inside. I know I saw it in the States before but it's fucking everywhere here, it was only a matter of time before I encountered it again. Repeatedly. The local supermarket actually has it looped on their television displays, where it's been playing continually for, uh, several weeks. I can't believe anyone still works there.

I guess I don't know it's always on but it's looped whenever I'm there, which is one to twice a week, at varying times. So I mean it must be. Then again, I've had it looped in my life since I turned it on last night, so maybe I'd be fine with it.

Also I just found this song so I think I'm never turning them off ever, sob.

omg nooooooooo I've never actually had much interest in Korean music, because at least I can like, sort of understand J- and C-pop, and I don't speak a single damn word of Korean (seriously, I speak more Thai than Korean). BUT IT'D BE SO EASY TO GET INTO IT HERE, it's so popular. Nooooo.....

tbh I was reaching high to try and get his fucking ridiculous shoes into the frame, but not even I am that tall. I think they looked sorta like this except shiny as fuck.

so like, right now my impression of the man is "sometimes irritable, has fashion taste that I don't even."

haha yeah he showed up late and his people kept like, furtively whispering to each other beforehand so I think something must've happened to make him sorta >/ SO I DON'T HOLD IT AGAINST HIM. and lol, I know right, I was at least twenty feet away from the dude and his shoes, they blinded me. I guess I don't know if those are for real track pants BUT WITH THAT STRIPE WHAT ELSE COULD THEY BE they looked pretty comfortable though ngl.

haha and when he fucking talks in English he sounds just like my guy friends WHICH DOES ENDEAR HIM TO ME. also I hadn't known about him for a few days when i witnessed this GREAT ARGUMENT between two friends of mine here about whether or not he HAS TEH GAY let me tell you it was pretty amazing, it was like watching the Internet happening IRL.

or the freaking shirt. and I guess he had a garish necklace my friend saw but my eyes aren't good enough, I didn't catch it. or I was totally distracted by the shoes idk.

my friend hasn't answered this question and it is very important: who is the girl with short hair and, uh, no pants? I FEEL I NEED TO KNOW.

you want to end me by pop music, my mortal enemy seriously do you know how much of my metal cred I am losing here? ALL OF IT I THINK.

lol the conversation happened half in Chinese but I think it has to do with a girl that dumped him, and how he never dates .... well anyone really, IDK. TO BE TOTALLY HONEST I WAS PARTIALLY LAUGHING AT THIS CONVERSATION TO COVER MY SAD, because on one hand it was BRITTANY WHY WOULD YOU BUY THIS CD MADE BY A GAY MAN and on the other hand it was HOW DARE YOU MALIGN MY BELOVED LEEHOM BY CALLING HIM GAY.

if i was two inches taller, you would've seen them. but then again that'd also make me terrifying so perhaps it's better this way.

I'm late to the party I know, but I have a work friend who is OBSESSED with Kpop, lives and breathes the stuff, and links me to youtube videos of hot/cute Kpop songs in an attempt to get me hooked, then dumps all their info on me. This song happens to be one of the like, four she got me addicted to SO I KNOW WHO THAT IS. Her name is Ga-In and she is delicious. The rapper in the chair is my favorite, and her name is Miryo.

Also, I would like to pass on more addictive torture devices in the form of Kpop and suggest you look up miss A.

it's so sad man. i guess the internet taught me to expect a HE IS TOTALLY GAY AND THAT IS AWESOME BRB WRITING FIC ABOUT HIM FUCKING TAKESHI KANESHIRO but no, that didn't come up. even completely inappropriate support for the gays was missed.

i am so tall that whenever people back home make LOL AZNS ARE SO SHORT YOU MUST TOWER OVER THEM jokes I am like really? because seriously I towered over everybody else back home so much that if there's a difference I seriously can't notice it. at all.
