You too could sing...

Anecdotal… I am such a spaz about organization… clutter clutter, piles of things, pretty singers and horses and gracious knows what all. *pauses to make my eyes cease burning from the onion I just cut up* Ahem. But the kitchen is oddly different… There have been… talkings-to to people when someone puts away the spatulas in the spoon drawer, or, kitchen forbid, putting the can opener in the wrong spot. I am surrounded by piles of books and papers and empty plates, and am frowny-attentive about kitchen organization. Fabulous.

But as I sit enjoying a piece of bread I wore my hands out kneading last night with my chai latte, I can’t really complain about the complexities of my cleaning abilities. :P

While we’re on the topic, I particularly hate the sound of the vacuum cleaner, and always have.

And to segue from doodad to another… I’m not a particularly fail gamer… excepting anything that requires guns or first person anything… but Eternal Sonata is kicking my behind. I’ve had two game over screens. I’m not fighting bosses. *taps fingers* Are you supposed to have to start heavy-duty leveling up less than two hours into a game? Apparently I’m going to, anyway. I’m getting a little tired of seeing half my party die off while I flail.

…Yesung and Sungmin are singing a song for a charity album for abandoned dogs? You all suck in such a fantastic way. ;_;

And because I had nothing better to do, I was watching music videos this morning and a few of things struck me… I’m always amused by the total ninja appearances of Hankyung in “You Are the One” vid…. They must seriously have included all of his ninja appearances from the whole ep for it to feature him as much as it does. Hankyung falls on his behind? Check. Hankyung’s head materializes over group shot? Check. Hankyung waves, snowboard in hand? Check. Hankyung and Sunglasses? Check. I’m tempted now to go watch the ep to see if he appears more than I thought. *_* (We’ll ignore the part where I teared up.) Also, struck again by how much Yesung looks like he just stepped out of the pages of D.Gray-man in his jacket. -_-

And in M’s “U”… in the same scene that tickled me with Boy Wonder’s “I have my hands on two of them and ain’t nothing you can do about it” part (and apparently the only person I had watched before today in that scene :P) I was taking note of people’s hands, which are pretty uniformly on hips or each other or just hanging, and then Kyuhyun is like *thighs* which is an image a month or two ago that would’ve made me run away screaming “Not the baaaaby” (and in the interest of full disclosure, I admit that I still do the cute-and-vocal “Oh, baby <3” at him sometimes… not sure what that says about me.)… Until I sort of gave up fighting the tide, especially after having watched 2700 hours of M interviews and shows, and then I actually watched Henry during that scene in “U,” and I’ll be exiting from under the couch in about a decade. Thank you.

And, AFI is starting to ramp up for new album release if they're preparing to bring in people for the studio by asking for videos. Yeeeeees. I wish I were not totally insane, as I'd be tempted to send in a video myself (Smith comes to get you? Are they serious? lol. Just for that alone.), but I am, so I will not. (Because this would totally how my video would go: "Hi, I'm a Jen. I'm a fan. I'd like to molest your guitarist. I sit on my couch all day. I like Korean boys. Pick me!")

I think you should give the video idea a shot, but be creative with it? Can you put pictures to one of their songs that is your favorite maybe? Or redo one of their video over with lil figures or pets. I saw one person remake a video over with kittens. (It was actually pretty cute)Actually it was for a Fatboy Slim contest - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TgxBqVEBeCo&feature=related its cute but ya.

Your package didn't come today. T.T I think someone has put a curse on me?

And *blink* Yesung? Sungmin? Dogs? A song? *forgets all the bad things about today and wonders how she got to be so lucky* OMGBOYSILU <3333

And... and... clearly I did not watch anyone else in U other than Siwon as well, because Kyu and thighs do not connect in my mind. Will be off to see that now thankyou.

Ah whew. At first I thought you meant Kyuhyun was being all grabby like Siwon and had his hands on other people's thighs and I was like "Too much for brain to take" *is relieved though that he is still a good little boy* After seeing the video of his sexy dance, I no longer know what to expect from him.

I wondered if it might not... :( Highway 84 and 14 were closed due to the ick weather, and our mail is usually routed through Portland, and the only way after that is to take it up over Snoqualmie, and that probably didn't happen. Meh.

I know right? I totally had a moment. And that Eeteuk and Sungmin wrote it? Heck yes, boys. <3

Lol, no. Thought through those sitting interviews, sometimes... Even if I hadn't seen him writhe around on stage like a crazy boy (and so therefore doesn't have to be touching anyone else at all), fanfic would have corrupted my untainted image of him. Ryeowook and his scandal making with the whole yadong thing too. *raises eyes to the ceiling*

Speaking of the poor thing... could you do me a big favor? *big sparkly eyes* Could you go here and read this and see if it makes any semblance of sense still? lol. The link at the end isn't active cause I'm still beating it into shape. Wanna post them both tonight if I have the chance.

Ah you finished it. :D :D *had a huge grin when she saw what it was* I still love all his snarky remarks. Perfectly fitting of him. It looks postable to me. :) And... both? You have Eeteuk's done? *not so subtly begs*

Oh me too when I saw they wrote it! I hope they release it soon! I wonder if it'll be buyable at all, or if not cause it's a charity thing (probably only available to Korea then).

LOL I'm torn between diving into the fanfiction and losing my image of him, or keeping it for awhile longer.

[identity profile] coley-merrin.livejournal.com 2008-12-23 03:53 am (UTC)(link)
I had the devil of a time coming up with a title. -____-; Finally. I think I meant to make it longer, but the longer I stared at it, the more it wanted to stay that way. It did get a few lines added though... Thanks for looking over it!

I hope it'll be buyable... both cause it's for a good cause, and for the fact that... Yeah, wanties?

Hehe... You can keep him as "little 13" (cutest nickname ever?!) a while longer...

And si... I think it is done. So once again, make sure I haven't made a fool of myself please? XD;;; http://coley-merrin.livejournal.com/274830.html

[identity profile] melodykai.livejournal.com 2008-12-23 04:13 am (UTC)(link)
"presented to him in such in insidious little way" Should it be "an" insidious little way?

"wrapped with love clearly by Ryeowook, left Kangin himself." Should the "himself" be left off? Kangin hasn't really been mentioned yet by name so it sounds a little odd. Unless you want to smash a mention of Kangin earlier in there?

MEEP SO HAPPY. Its the bestest one. T.T I want to be first comment on it... please, can I? It'll be very short. I just cannot resist the cuteness. lol

[identity profile] coley-merrin.livejournal.com 2008-12-23 04:21 am (UTC)(link)
An, yes. Clearly just added that line. XD;

And nixed that himself. Did feel awkward without a previous mention... I thought of trying to smash Kangin in there, but he's the insidious idea presenter in my head, so I didn't want to be Captain Obvious about it.

And go forth! I just made them public, and will be posting them after a little while. :) :)

New comment lol

I loled so hard at Heechul being concerned about his hair during the pineapple eating. Oh, Heenim. Then they all mocked him afterward.

That is one request I do not mind following. *lures Kyu over to herself* Come on, be a good boy now. Lots of snow here for you to play in. Were you in danger of writing a Kyuhyun/Hankyung fic? Kyukyung? Hankyu?

[identity profile] coley-merrin.livejournal.com 2008-12-25 07:25 pm (UTC)(link)
Squiiiish comments on the side heh.

Poor Heechul. He makes our lives so much more interesting.

...Oh Hankyung. You singing The Moon Represents My Heart should not make me die.

Hah, I have a half formed lj post that's like, you can come here next year, Kyu, got plenty extra for you! XD

Ugh, go away. :P Apparently it's one thing to read it, and one thing to write it, because Siwon's in the back of my head going "Heeeey, I'm here, too." That time travel fic apparently kidnapped my muse cause it's all "Hey, we like AU historicals, too." Featuring prince!Kyu who has had everything around him destroyed, and accidental-savior!Geng when Kyu is deposited beaten and unconscious somewhere in China, and guard!Siwon who is desperate to find his missing prince. And also dead!Jen because OMG NO RUNNING AWAY NOW.

OMG *flail* *shoves Kyu back to you* I love AU historical stories. Actually I love AU stories period. I can just imagine Kyu too since he's so young and would feel lost and confused and sad and Hankyung is there to cheer him up and take care of him and guh loyal Siwon searching. Happy thoughts.

I love AU's the most because they're not bound by real events or people or places. Anything can happen and anyone can appear anywhere.

Uuuuuuuuuuuuugh.

Take that. :P

***

“I had my identity, my family, my life and my people, and my very place stolen from me. And the girl who was to be mine, I cannot even mourn her properly.”

“And yet you have loyalty. Not many men would follow you as Siwon-sshi did. And you have friendship. Do not discount us entirely. There are those with less, that once had more.”

Kyuhyun was stung, the truth and patient tone with which it was imparted falling hard into him.

“There are choice in this life. The roads upon which we put our feet. You may no longer have a place, but that doesn’t mean you never will. You have been given your life. Please find value in that.”

Kyuhyun stood, head bowed.

“From this day on, I am no longer a prince. I am just a man seeking knowledge. And… revenge.”

The other man smiled. “Of course, my prince.”

[identity profile] melodykai.livejournal.com 2008-12-25 08:12 pm (UTC)(link)
MEEP. *takes* I love it already. The wording is so pretty too. And revenge? Oooh intrigue! What else can I do to getting the muse going?

[identity profile] coley-merrin.livejournal.com 2008-12-25 08:43 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm trying to come up with something for Hankyung to call Kyu... I don't know if "my prince" will sound a little creeptastic if repeated? opinions? because I don't know that Hankyung is going to actually listen to the whole "I'm not a prince anymore" thing. :P The photobook is so totally to blame that I don't even know how to explain it. The one pic of Kyu, the closer up one, of him looking so soft and romantic, and my brain immediately went "Imagine him sitting in a place of power, a gold tie wound around his forehead, and the world at his feet." Hankyung wouldn't actually get to see it, but he has Siwon's memories and a healthy imagination.

My idea is kind of... Kyu's family is wealthy at the very least, lots of land and people and, you know... possibly not technically a prince, but definitely to his family and their servants... Several other wealthy people ally and attack... Greed and power being the cause of the death of Kyu's family and fiancee... He's knocked unconscious, drugged, and taken what seems like half a world away. (Why? Uhh... cause I said so. Remorse? Guilt? Wanting someone of the family to survive...?)... Perhaps Hankyung's mother's family were partly Korean... so she taught him in secret growing up, otherwise language barrier, huuuuge. XD;;; Kyu knows some Chinese too... Siwon, too, probably having absorbed it at Kyu's side, learning what he needed to know as well to protect him...

New comment after epic!comment you left. XD

First off, lmao thank you for the read. I absolutely enjoyed it. <3 Particularly the image of Siwon crouching down and drawing in the dirt, with a pout on his face and eyebrows scrunched up.

Who exactly split up Kyu and Siwon? Is it Kyu's people or the people who want to kill him? If it's the people who want to kill him (say there were a few on the inside that were close to Kyu's family; I picture some Wormtongue's in there whispering poisoned words) then they could want to split them up in order to isolate Kyu and/or get rid of the people they know would follow them to the end of the earth.

If it's Kyu's people, perhaps Siwon was only there through Kyu's childhood, and when Kyu became an adult and was old enough to assume some responsibilities, Siwon wouldn't be needed. Maybe they knew that all along they'd be separated at that point, so they did keep a boundary up between them? So he's sent off either somewhere else or given the chance to be a normal person and get married and such. Maybe it's best nobody really knows how close they really were, and nobody would have expected Kyu to have allies or people search for him after BigBadThingsHappen? Maybe even Kyu himself is surprised that Siwon comes after him. Of course that could bring back the triangle cause I can picture it being:

Siwon: Kyu! Are you okay? *fussy Siwon*
Kyu: Wha-what are you doing here?
Siwon: They said you were okay, but what if those people found you? I couldn't let you stay somewhere all alone.
Kyu: You came all this way for me? *teary eyes*
Both: *teary embrace*
Becca: *runs away from Jen*

omg have you gone to Soompi today? All the baby pictures in there! Kya so cute! Baby!Geng is adorable. Sungmin has not changed at all, neither has Siwon. The first pic of baby!Teukie is SOOO adorable. <3 And Yesung totally has not changed (first one posted) GUH *doesn't know what else to say*

Always happy to provide entertainment!

He pouts so well...

Well, a bigger question... if someone wants him and the family dead... how does he end up in China? Who takes him there? And why? He's an adult, of age, and not a moron, even if someone did rip his roots out from under him. Something else planned...? Ugh. My head. That would start to explain their being split... because either scenario has potential. If there are no tears, it would be a shock, hehe. *is still mired in *____* land*

And yees, I just went to look. Oh man. XD So cute. Baby!Teukie, yes, I squealed, lol. And Heechul... still so Heechul lol.

Guh so many directions to go in. >.< Have you had any ideas since then? I can randomly spout out nonsense if you want. ^^

Are you SURE this won't be an epic.....?

[identity profile] coley-merrin.livejournal.com 2008-12-28 04:25 am (UTC)(link)
Siwon ties an unconscious Kyu to a horse, slaps its butt, and the horse runs all the way to China. That works, no? No? -_- Dangit.

Maybe a couple enterpising bandits... take Kyu to China intending to... sell him as a slave? He's well learned and all... Well kept. Has all his teeth. They keep him drugged on the trip, for ease... maybe the guard at night falls asleep/gets drunk, and kyu's horse does indeed wander away with him on it. XD;;; Geng: *comes out of his door* O.o ...Why is there a boy tied to a horse in my front yard?

...at least part of that makes sense anyway. More so that "We killed your family, but here, watch us deposit you in China. Have a nice life!" ...yeah. Hmmm.

(Geng, incidentally, lives by a lake, in the forest, in the middle of nowhere. Siwon finding them there, however long after, is totally a deus ex machina kind of thing, cause he may be the best tracker known on earth, but wow, that's lucky... unless he... hmm. I had a thought that they disguise kyu as a woman as they travel, to keep anyone (just in case) from tracking them... and if people coming to trade, say that weird Geng dude in the forest finally found himself a woman met Siwon's ears, he'd have a lead at least...)

[identity profile] melodykai.livejournal.com 2008-12-28 07:52 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm sure you watched this cause it was at Soompi, but the KyuMi cuteness!! zomg Mi holds Kyu's hand to his heart and Kyu puts his head on Mi's shoulder *ceases function* (hopefully muse!Kyu doesn't leave Geng) http://hk.youtube.com/watch?v=_iuiyd-V5TI

Keke Kyu as a woman would be cute, and I suppose it makes sense. *feels bad that Geng has the image of crazy forest hermit* How long are you wanting Kyu to have been in China before quest for revenge actually begins? Depending on how much time he's there could help figure out how he got there and how complex to make it.

I haven't been to soompi this morning yet. *_* ....*brain has shorted out* They are the new KangTeuk of Marry U cuteness. *kicks them* Girls: *scream* Jen: ........................... WHY DOES THE CAMERA LEAVE THEM? CRAZY. I'm sure KyuMi will get another fic at some point, but the muse is stuck for now.

I have no idea why he's a crazy forest hermit. The brain envisioned in him in front of a loom, weaving, but I really don't know. It's kind of a quiet image. Someone who's been hurt, and is really not healing off by himself... (welcome to the life and times of Jen the one who writes by crossing her fingers and hoping plot points fly in from the heavens) If there really is a Wormtongue sort of coup having taken place, with someone having killed his family and made off with his place, then... If he's going to get it back, there's going to have to be some subterfuge going on. The three of them do not an army make, after all.

Kyu: Well, I'll just have to surrender myself to him, then.
Siwon and Geng: *have twin heart attacks*

He'll be in China long enough for A. Siwon to arrive, B. the dudes who were after him to find him again and drag him off to leave him to die, and C. recover from that episode... Maybe a month from Geng finding him, till the day they set out to go back? Maybe?

Siwon: *leads up an extra horse besides the one he came on*
Kyu: Two horses? We're going on only two horses?
Siwon: You'll ride with Geng.
Kyu: ...What?
Siwon: *smiles*

When that vid started up, I was seriously all "AH! Ah! OMG what is this! AHAHAHAHA"

There is a longer vid of Kyu playing in the thread (now you have me haunting soompi :P)... I had no idea it was The Moon Represents My Heart until the very end... I'm taking this as a sign from the heavens that this song will be on the next album. *nods*

Off to Soompi now. Isn't it the best place?! So much to see there, and I love the other forums too on food and electronics.

That would be so awesome if it was on there. :D It'd be nice if they had a two disc thing with 7 solo songs on one disc and new songs on the other.

[identity profile] melodykai.livejournal.com 2008-12-29 02:58 am (UTC)(link)
OMG Bolero PV is so pretty! I seriously think that song is going to end up becoming one of my favorite ones of theirs. Yunho looked particularly lovely in the video. <3 Usually they ruin his hair in all the Japanese pv's but it looks very pretty there. I didn't like Yoochun's at first when I saw the preview clip, but it didn't look as bad as I had originally thought it had. *still doesn't know why it's like permed*

I think it would have been prettier if they were outside with snow coming down, because the song just keeps making me think of snow and ice and cold and winter. I imagined a lot of dark, gray, blue hues to it all.

I really love it when they have Junsu doing a huge, epic bridge while all the others take turns singing after him. <3
