You too could sing...

[coley_merrin]

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'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...

[melodykai.livejournal.com]

Hmm yeah, unless Kyu acts like a prince or unless you go with Hankyung already knowing about him somehow then he would could call him prince. Otherwise it's probably best not to. Also is he needing to hide then, since there is someone still out there that's dangerous? If so then he probably shouldn't call him prince. It'd probably have to be something informal just to give the impression that Kyu has always been there.

Eeteuk looks SO pretty here: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/0903/InADream/img_3_2_5.jpg

[coley-merrin.livejournal.com]

True. Now to find something else, lol. *flails* -________-

Oh, he does! Dangit, Eeteuk. -_-; *saves*

[coley-merrin.livejournal.com]

Poor Kyu. I think I just got him kidnapped again. I do love torturing the characters I love. 2,300 words. ;_; (Characters? People? -_-;)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pBPghdgPo24 also, for having no subtitles... I just died. Started at 3:54... Siwon and Sungmin. XD Too adorable.

[melodykai.livejournal.com]

Wow! That's what you get for thinking you could get rid of him. :p I'm assuming this story will turn into epic #2?

Ah I found that the other day as well!! I looooved the Minnie Minnie Minnie thing too. <33 So so so so cute.

I've spent the whole afternoon watching all 3 episodes of Love Letter (but I know there's a Sungmin one out there because there's a clip of him doing some martial arts move on the show!). That show is awesome. I've laughed so much.

[coley-merrin.livejournal.com]

WILL NOT BE EPIC. NO. NO. AUGH. (the other story is only 10k about at the moment though... If I can finish both of these under 25k combined, I'll be a happy girl. ;_;)

I still need to watch more. I got distracted writing and cooking. *makes wah wah hands* and playing eternal sonata, where I had to level up just to beat the stinking birds. *makes frowny faces* I think I'm catching on though.

[melodykai.livejournal.com]

Ah okay no epic. lol At least you got your smaller stories finished and posted?

Aww leveling up... always fun. lol I always hate the potential of going into a boss battle without being strong enough so I usually spend hours leveling up wherever I can. How far have you gotten? I don't wanna spoil anything lol There was one guy that I could not beat for the life of me and it actually made me cuss at the game I was so angry.

[coley-merrin.livejournal.com]

Not a lot of demand for SiHanKyu fic, I don't imagine. (Siwon has effectively barged his way in. Totally a big shock, I know. In kind of a "I love you both, watch me be an accidental obstacle to All Happy True Love, aren't I cute?" kind of way. *stares at Siwon* I knew I liked you for a reason. Make it work.) Yes, thankfully the smaller stuff is out. Well. There's still the HanChul stuff. I'll have to stick those together one of these days. :)

I'm not far, really. I haven't made it to the count whatever his face is. Just made it out of the sewers getting the stick. -_____-

[melodykai.livejournal.com]

Apparently Hankyung was working too hard and passed out the other day? There's pictures of him in the hospital with a saline IV hooked up to him and he's sleeping in the chair. :( They said he was released after a few hours but poor thing. They need to slow things down a little. DBSK too with the hellish week they will have next week going between the Japan Kouhaku special and all the Korean TV specials.

LOL Well he's kinda like Yesung and does seem to find his way to the front of the camera often. He just wants to be the one to approve of the All Happy True Love. ;) Is there going to be a love element in the story?

[coley-merrin.livejournal.com]

o.o Where did you see that? I feel like I'm missing a source here. He needs to take care of himself. D: My heart can't take it. *makes them all take naps and drink big cups of soup* Gah.

Siwon: Everyone tells me I'm pretty. I'm pretty! Here I am!

Big ham. Love elements? Yeeahhh... Pretty safe to say. (4,000 words. *stares at ceiling*

[melodykai.livejournal.com]

It was at Soompi. http://www.soompi.com/forums (Have to register to read, but they are very strict in the posts so unless you have something to add to the post, don't post lol Like you're only allowed 5 posts in one day in the DBSK thread, no other artist can be mentioned in a group thread, and Zhoumi and Henry are banned from being mentioned in SJ thread -HUGE fights about that one- so you have to go to the SJM thread to talk about SJM - way too many rules for me to want to post there) Seriously Soompi is the best place for anything. Most of the lj communities get their stuff from Soompi as well. (I always have it up at work every day >.>) I was not joking before when I said that as soon as they sneeze, Soompi knows.

Oh and SJ and DBSK threads are obviously in the Korean Music forum, SJM thread is in the Other Music forum below it. Plus each member has their pic thread in the Korean Celeb Photos forum (official index is stickied at the top)

They also have all the videos from DBSK's 5th Anniversary Party today ^^ Jae and Junsu started crying at it. Jae's was heartbreaking cause he was talking about how people on the internet were saying things like "DBSK will just leave for Japan again so what's the point in liking them?" T.T

LOL! Wow 4,000. Is it SiHan or HanKyu or SiKyu? Or triangle?

And nevermind! Those were the pics from this summer when Hankyung passed out. Whew, I was like AGAIN?! .....or not? GUH who knows when they're from. >.< (NOT gonna edit again, I swear)

[coley-merrin.livejournal.com]

I was going to register for Soompi the other day. I'm almost sure I was at one point, so I'll have to check. *toddles off* I have noooo desire to post there. Shudder. LJ is bad enough.

Awww. :( They might go to Japan, but they come back@ They're not leaving forever. *hugs them all*

Is it SiHan or HanKyu or SiKyu? Or triangle?

Um. All of the above? *fail* I think my concept is that Kyu and Siwon grew up together, kind of like, Siwon's father was Kyu's father's personal guard, and when Kyu was born, Siwon was plopped down next to his cradle, and they were together forever after... not knowing they'd eventually go "<3" at each other, since heirs and succession and all that. So they were split up, and when the big attack happens, they hadn't really seen each other at all for a couple of years... The triangle is kind of awkward, cause Geng knows Siwon loves Kyu and that his own chances with Kyu are nil, and Siwon is 98% sure he'll never get Kyu back, and they kind of merge together instead while Kyu is all "Wha-what about me?" and Geng is a bit "D:" because he's feeling like he'll lose them both and... wow, triangles are fun.

[melodykai.livejournal.com]

The SJM thread actually seems pretty friendly! This is the first time I've really gone into that thread. Lots of pretty pictures from the Hong Kong fan meet today/yesterday! It's your fault too that all I think is "Oooh a pretty prince!" when I see Kyu pics now. Ryeowook looks very good in the pics too. <3

*holds head* So complicated~~ One person is going to end up with a broken heart. :( But oh the angst that will hold if all of them are like "but I like you, or I like him, and you like him, or do you like me, but what about him?" *laughs and can't wait*

Also, always been curious... what exactly does D: represent?

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/0903/InADream/122308_12.jpg KYA~ So cute!!

[coley-merrin.livejournal.com]

It does! *registered now* Thankfully those pics were from earlier though. :( *pets them* Lol. I do all I can. I like what Ryeowook is wearing... Kyu is slightly eaten up again by his clothes. As long as he stays healthy...

A life requirement of mine is that they will all end up happy. *nods nods* But a healthy dose of angst before then, hehe.

D: is kind of like... "oh noes" sort of thing? There are anime expressions that mirror that, like face-faulting horror/sadness, how could you do that/ack sort of thing....? I guess?

AHHHHHH. I just did that out loud. *is alone in the house* SO CUTE. Omg. Hah. Ugh. Stop being cute, guys. In 100 years.

[melodykai.livejournal.com]

*takes hammer to router*

Yeah he is a bit eaten... I'm hoping it's just him growing up and losing the baby face, and not being unhealthy lol Though I'm sure it's exhaustion too.

Ah okay the D: makes sense now. I figured it was something close just based on context and whatnot, but you never know!

LOL The last thing you need is for Henry to make his way into the story as well. :p

[coley-merrin.livejournal.com]

Hey, that's not a bad idea... if you break it, they'll HAVE to get a new one? lol.

Hopefully he gets outfits that flatter him a bit more... I was watching them all in their black "Marry U" suits, and he looks so good in that jacket. It FITS him, lol.

If he does, he'd be an extra. My life is troublesome enough, lol. *is marinating on the prologue/first chapter with the attack/kidnap*

[melodykai.livejournal.com]

My brothers are watching Eddie Izzard out in the living room. They're watching the Hitler/Pol Pot and flags one now. ^^

lol They would! My brother would never let them leave it broken. They keep saying "Oh we should go buy one this weekend" ... *nothing happens* It seems to only happen when I directly download something. Every time I do, it kicks me off but lets my brothers stay on. But when I download from youtube it still works fine... I really don't get it! I was trying to download more Love Letter from the DBSKer site so I don't have 16 youtube videos, and it kicked me off and wouldn't let me back on. Then I had to wait for my brothers to let me reset the router. *roll eyes*

Mmmm I'll have to go rewatch. *does not remember* :|

Ooh! Marinate away! :D

[coley-merrin.livejournal.com]

lol. Yay Eddie Izzard. ^__^

Conspire with them. Oops it fell. Oh dear. Mehh, resetting it just yucky.

What is that handy thing you d/l off youtube with btw?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yYMIEDXSXXU&fmt=18 the smile he shoots the camera as he's walking away...

[melodykai.livejournal.com]

OOH he does look wonderful in that suit. And the smile *sigh* That song is really not good for the heart. So pretty. lol

Do you have Realplayer? The most recent version has a feature that will download any streaming video on the web. It pops up on the video with a "Download to Realplayer" thing and it rips the video into .flv format. For some reason I can't get it to work with Firefox on my desktop, but it works with Firefox on my laptop so... not sure which it would do for you? But that's what I use. It's so nice to have! Then there was this nice converter I found at Soompi that'll convert files nicely so I can move them to .avi if I need to.

[coley-merrin.livejournal.com]

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=moWPifbrAvE This is also fabulous... the rap part even! hah!

I need to download the new version then, lol. Sweet. *runs to do that*

[melodykai.livejournal.com]

OMG so pretty!! *faint* I would be crying too if I were that bride (because it was pretty and because it wasn't them I was marrying XD j/k j/k) rapper!Kyu is always so cute. <3

Hee yay. :D Now you can save all the fun SJM videos that are subbed. I always prefer downloading them cause you never know when youtube will go on a deleting spree and you'll never see it again.

[coley-merrin.livejournal.com]

Really, lol... They need not show up at my wedding and make my husband mad.

It's working on and off in firefox for me, and working fine in IE, so yay. 30000000 videos to go...

[melodykai.livejournal.com]

lol Yeah. It's bad enough my husband will have to deal with my fangirling... I'd hope I could at least control myself at the wedding. Fangirling is one thing I could not give up. It's been hardwired into me.

Yay it's working. :D

Heechul said that he and Heebum spent Christmas Eve together alone in the dorm. lol I thought that was cute. And he said he'd called Kibum to come over and keep him company, but Kibum said when he went out to his car the battery was dead so he couldn't. So it was just he and Heebum. And then Eeteuk, Junsu and Changmin's Christmas Eve <3

[coley-merrin.livejournal.com]

Here's hoping there would be fangirling of the husband as well... he'd just be that awesome.

I'm starting to download coffee prince...

Aww. At least Kibum tried! <3 And Eeteuk and Changmin getting ditched by Junsu, lol. *squishes them all*

Take whatever is after this with a grain of salt... I'm going to sleep on it, and stop editing this. -_-

Also, HELP HELP RED FLAG, if I were NOT pairing Siwon with Kyu and Geng, who would I be pairing him with?! My brain is suddenly like "NO NO NO NO TRIANGLE"

Tonight, this is how it was going...

Geng: *cuddles Kyu*
Kyu: *shy*
Siwon: *pats their cute little heads*

Jen: WHY ARE YOU INTERRUPTING??????? This is a MOMENT, AND YES CAPS LOCK IS MY FRIEND.

Siwon: ;_; *will be over here drawing pictures in the dirt*

Jen: Don't give me that look. You are cuddling Geng EVERY night in the other epic fic. Suck it up and be a man.

Siwon: Would I just give Kyu up like that? We were cruelly split up! We deserve a second chance!

Jen: I know I wrote that! Can I unwrite it? Can't you just have been best buddies forever?

Siwon: Sure, that absolutely works. In, you know, an alien planet.

Jen: *cries*

...except that could work. Maybe they split them up because they thought they were too close? Not in a "<3" kind of way, but in a, dude, that's your servant, why do you care, kind of way. So Siwon might even be married (!)... and maybe makes Geng think he and Kyu were together to kind of feel out Geng's feelings on the whole deal, being the sweet friend he is to Kyu... *wanders away, eyes glazed* (this is why talking it out totally helps, ahahah... left here for your insight into my spastic head)
