The Maid of Honor
Deliberate Gentle Love Master (DGLM)
Appreciated for your kindness and envied for all your experience, you are The Maid of Honor.
Charismatic, affectionate, and terrific in relationships, you are what many guys would call a "perfect catch"--and you probably have many admirers, each wishing to capture your long-term love. You're careful, extra careful, because the last thing you want is to hurt anyone. Especially some poor boy whose only crime was liking you.
We've deduced you're fully capable of a dirty fling, but you do feel that post-coital attachment after hooking up. So, conscientious person that you are, you do your best to reserve physical affection for those you respect...so you can respect yourself.
Your biggest negative is the byproduct of your careful nature: indecision. You're just as slow rejecting someone as you are accepting them.
Your exact female opposite:
Half-Cocked
Random Brutal Sex Dreamer
Always avoid: The False Messiah (DBLM), The 5-Night Stand (DBSM), The Vapor Trail (RBLM), The Bachelor (DGSM)
Consider: The Gentleman (DGLM), someone just like you.
Ok, so I haven't posted much in a long time. I'm sorry. I will work on that! For right now though, please listen to Mandy Moore's cover of Rhianna's 'Umbrella'. I think I will be working on stripping the sound from this video, Mandy's version is much better to me... Tell me what you think:

life?
what life?
normally when people don't post very often they blame it on 'life'. well, i don't have a life. i have a boyfriend and work. i have no friends, i have nothing to do outside work.
work work work work work work work. all i do is work. i don't even like my job. it would be so much better if i just liked my job a little. if there was a reason to like my job. but there is no reason. it sucks. the pay sucks. the work sucks. the people i talk to suck. the only thing i like are SOME of my coworkers. and only some of them. just SOME. i hate my life.
i sometimes hate my boyfriend. is this normal? am i crazy? i love him so much. but sometimes i really really really really hate him. right now is one of those times. i won't say why, but i really feel hatred and disgust right now. i dunno what to do. i'm always so confused when it comes to him. i have no idea what to do or how to feel or where to go. it's just so crazy and stupid and confusing.
i want to cry. i've never wanted to cry so badly before in my life. but i can't. cuz he's never seen me cry and i don't want him to. i don't want to be 'weak'. whatever that means. but i want to cry. i want to cry and scream and throw things. so then maybe i'll feel better, but somehow i doubt if that will help.
.......
so... yeah... welcome back to blogging... or whining... whatever.

50 Things You Can Learn from Korean Dramas
Thank you Wanda for the enlightening email, thought i'd share it:
1) Hot, rich, younger men love fat, older vulgar women.
2) If you have a best guy friend, he is in love with you. And secretly you are too.
3) You and your boyfriend will always playfully chase each other on an ice rink, at the beach, or in the leaves. And you'll laugh for no reason and your boyfriend will hit you "playfully" but the force of his push will have you flying across the room. But it's okay. Cuz you're still laughing like a crazy person.
4) Brothers/cousin/uncles-newphews will always love the same girl.
5) You're allowed to make uturns wherever you want in Korea. And there is never traffic on the side you want to u turn to.
6) There is a super quick payment device that allows you to pay a bill quickly enough for a guy to run immediately out of a restaurant after his angry girlfriend storms out.
7) Everyone has cancer.
8) If you're sick, all you need is an IV to make you feel lots better.
9) There is vomit and urine all over Seoul at nights.
10) Fighting at a pojangmacha with a random stranger is merely part of a normal night's event.
11) Soju must cost 10 cents. Everyone drinks it everyday all the time, especially the poor people.
12) If you're rich, you're a jerk.
13) If you're poor, you're an angel.
14) Women sleep and wake up with a full set of makeup on.
15) You're not studying hard enough unless you get a nosebleed.
16) If you have a nosebleed, you most definately have cancer. And you have no money to pay for the surgery that will save your life. And your liver is missing. We're not sure where it went, but it's making your cancer progress faster.
17) If you work in a sool jeep, you have massively curly hair and wear flashy colors from the early 90's.
18) You always order orange juice or coffee at a cafe. And you never drink it. EVER.< they drink almost as much as soju
19) You will always call your boyfriend by his job title. Or simply sunbaenim. Never his name. Never. He doesn't have one.
20) If you TRULY love each other, you must die together in the end. Frozen outside instead of finding shelter like sane people. Just frozen....
21) You go to America you come back miraculously successful. You go to England you come back amazingly fashionable. You stay in Korea the only thing that changes is your hairstyle.
22) And if you come back with no apparent reason then it's because you have cancer.
23) Everyone always goes to the same hospital no matter where they are.
24) If you stand out in the rain for more than five minutes, you'll end up with a fever and vertigo and people will rush you to the hospital to get some magic IV. And instead of taking an ambulance or driving they'll race you on their back.
25) Even if you're poor and can't eat, you never wear the same clothes twice.
26) If you play a poor kid, you always have dirt on your face and your hair is always messy.
27) If you're saving someone from being hit from a car, you'll push them out of the way and wait for the car to hit you instead. couldnt be more true, their like a deer in headlights
28) Everyone has a long lost sister/brother/twin. Usually one they didn't know about.
29) If you don't want to answer your phone, you can't just turn it off. The battery needs to be taken out.
30) All korean men can drink hard, smoke long, sing well and play piano. Usually all at the same time. And at the same restaurant that has a piano that they let anyone use.
31) If you're in a relationship, you must at one point leave and have your lover tearfully come RIGHT before you board the plane (vice versa applies as well. You can be the chaser). 60% of the time you see each other, the other 40% you're roaming around in circles and pass each other about six times, but miraculously never see them.
32) If you're getting off a plane, you're ALWAYS wearing sunglasses. ALWAYS.
33) All guys wear hideous tracksuits zipped up to their neck. Even if all they're doing is jumproping.
34) Girls will always storm off because they're mad and the guy will stoically grab them by the arm and swing them back- and by magic, not dislocate their shoulders.
35) Guys always look like they're 6 feet tall, even if they're only 5'10. Thank you camera angles.
36) Guys like to wear foundation, eyeliner and sometimes a smudge of lipliner.
37) You always get stuck in an elevator with someone who makes you feel uncomfortable. Even if there are six different elevators, you'll always be stuck in the same one with that bastard you hate (or just fought with).
38) Unless you're fabulously rich, your in-laws will always hate you
39) So will your sister-in-law.
40) Your brother-in-law might be pining away for you. >
41) There are only 2 ways to kiss. You either press your lips against theirs with your mouth completely shut, and just press away for a very long and uncomfortable time. OR you devour the other person and suck out their soul. In both instances, the world spins.
42) A guy will always get the right size ring, even if you're never held hands.
43) People stare off into space and ponder a lot. They'll just stop in the middle of the road and watch a leaf on a tree for a good three minutes, and just ponder.
44) You'll get pregnant the first time you have sex.
45) You'll get pregnant if he kisses you on the forehead.
46) Hell- you'll get pregnant if you hold hands.
47) If you overcome great obstacles to be together, one of you must die. Probably due to cancer.
48) One korean man can kick the butts of 6 gangstas. Especially when they all stand in a circle and attack the guy one by one. Then when each of them get their butts OWNED, they wise up and attack the guy at the same time. Then the guy will get pulverized and bleed out onto the dusty concrete floor of the empty warehouse they've found to fight in. There will be a fire in a trashcan somewhere. And the girl will have watched this the entire time, screaming in horror. Instead of calling 119, she'll just watch and cry. But it's okay. Cuz the next day the guy will be fine with a few random bandages and a few face scars. But never a black eye.
49) It ain't a real fight unless the gangstas fight dirty with a stick or switchblade.
50) If you study in the states (perferably Harvard), you are one of the top students and can speak perfect English (as assumed by the reactions of those around you). Why the rest of the world OUTSIDE of the TV can't understand a single word uttered out of your melodramatic mouth is beyond me.

adventures of a homeowner (sorta)
ever wonder what it's like to be without hot water in your own home? stop wondering cuz i'm going to tell you. i have lived without hot water for a week... count them... 1.2..3...4...5...6...7... days. all started last wednesday. it was hell. the hot water heater exploded. (ok not really, it sprung a leak inside and water dripped all over everything in the garage) but when i saw it it looked water exploded. it took me 30 minutes to find the number to the insurance company... (we have home warranty on all the major appliances in the house. Thank God.) then when i called... i didn't have the account number. so i had to look that up online and call again. finally, they placed a work order for me. i had to call back to get the number for the company that was going to be working on this for me because the automated service said the number so quickly i couldn't even hear it at all.
then..... nothing..... lots and lots of nothing. finally i called the company. the hot water heater was still leaking and there was nothing i could do to stop it. i tried explaining this to them... so finally someone decides to come out... he tells me i should call the water company so that they can cut off all services.... i'm like.... are you fucking stupid? i don't have hot water and now you're telling me to not have any water? (only said in my head) then... he says 'ma'am we'll have to order you a new tank. should be here by friday'
so... i wait some more. i get no phone calls. from anyone. thursday rolls around. friday comes. i call the insurance company. they tell me that they've hired a new company to work on my hot water heater. they say that the first company could not find a new heater for me. (no one has called me at this point.) so i'm like ok... the new people will be coming to the house to look at the heater... cuz apparently they can't take the word of the other company (apparently they are liars or something....)
so they come. they look. they say the same thing as the other people....
then nothing!!!?
i couldn't bathe unless it was a cold shower and let me tell you... it is not the same! cold showers do not make you feel clean. it felt like i was just moving the dirt around. the only time i was around hot water was when i was at work or washing dishes. and let's talk about that... i washed dishes with boiled water. i'd have to boil a huge pot of water and then dump it in the sink (very carefully so as not to BOIL myself...) had to rinse with cold water.
finally it's friday. i call the company who's working on the heater. then... i get told that they won't have the heater until tuesday. fucking TUESDAY! T_T i was so upset that i hung up on the lady i was talking to. i couldn't even speak. it took me like 15 minutes before i could call her back and tell her the number they needed to call to get in touch with me.
so i didn't have a hot water heater for a week. when they came i was so happy i almost died. i didn't go to work until 6pm (even though they came and put the heater in at 1...)
so... here's my final thought... i wish i lived in an apartment. this would have been fixed in 1 day.
i have more coming. lots of things have been going on lately. i just haven't had a chance to post.

the internet is evil... and other things
the internet is evil. it shows me things that i want. things that i cannot afford. things that i break out the evil credit card for. so many neat things. cell phones and purses, shoes and games. so many books. so much manga. so little money. T_T the internet is evil.
people... have you ever seen someone that you used to know and missed them even though you have no real reason to? that's been happening to me lately. i have no idea why. i keep looking for this one person. want to see them. talk to them. say 'hey how ya doin'?' even though that's pretty much impossible. not to mention stupid. and so... i continue to stupidly want to see this person. knowing full well that even if i did nothing would or could come of it. just a stupid idea. attached to a stupid person. i think i would feel better about it if it were someone worth the time that i spend thinking about them, but that's not the case and... it's just an utter waste of time.
what's worse is that i'm thinking about someone that i shouldn't be thinking about altogether.
my brain is so fucked. too many things going on. too much to do.
so... i have resigned from perfect illusions. i am going to either hand the group over to one of the staff or to someone else. we'll see what happens. i'm tired of trying to run the group. so i quit.
i miss my boyfriend even though he was here until a few hours ago. i wish he were still here. bleh.
hmm... i think that sums everything up.

invisibility
sorry about that last post y'all. i was in a really horrible mood. sometimes i get like that. i should never be allowed near my blogger when that happens. but as it was.... i was at home alone and bored outta my skull. my boyfriend was at work/getting drunk with his brother. my roommate was some place with people that i like hanging out with, but she didn't bother to ask me if i wanted to come. then when she got drunk and wanted to go out, i told her just to stay where she was. she didn't ever respond back until she was almost home and was like i can't stay they are going somewhere. so... suffice it to say i went out in an extremely black mood and it got nothing but worse as the night progressed. after about 1 hour... i was tired of being left out and i was just like fuck it i wanna go home. i went to the car and sat there. msged my friend and told her that i was sorry for being in a bad mood and trying to go out. then she came out to the car and told me that it was ok for me to take the car home, she was going to stay with her friends. end of my night. i went home and actually started to feel a little better. i should have never gone out. so... i learned my lesson: being in an invisible mood is never good. especially when you are going out. don't do it. the bad mood will make everything worse. you'll really be INVISIBLE. it sucked and i won't ever do it again.
