Description
Who all is a fan of EXO? I'm well aware "EXOTIC" isn't the official fandom name, but it seems to be the most popular... I'm not ugly, I'm exotic.

i do hope they make the official fandom name 'exotic,' but i wouldn't really mind if it wasn't. i mean if the official fandom name is something different, we could call them crazy sasaengs 'exotics' (exotic freaks. ) and we normal, supportive fans the actual fandom name

Aw, thank you~ :3
Yeah, it would be awesome since pretty much every EXO fan is using it anyway. I just hope it's nothing weird, like 'squid', something I heard some k-fans suggested. /facepalm
Ha! That's be hilarious.

I think they're going to be announcing the official fandom name soon- I really hope it's 'Exotics', or I'm outta here- lol, jk, I would never leave Exo <33
and this is so cute, seriously you should really do commissions, I'd totally jump at the chance! :3

I just hope they don't use "squid". Like, seriously? Squid? XD I think exotics is the best. 'Exorcists' sound alright, too. It really would describe the crazy fans at least XD You think so? Oh wow, maybe I should. I was taking portrait commissions at one point, but I think chibi commissions would be faster.

CHIBI COMMISSIONS, DO IT DO IT DOOOOOOO IIIIITTTTTT!!!! *tries hypnotising you*
Exorcists is okay, but Exotics is awesome
and squid? Really? Seriously, who came up with that?
I heard 'Exostans' as well, but I don't really like it :I
Recently though, I think Kyungsoo was talking about the fans, and he referred to them as 'Exotics', and I was kind of like "Hmmm.... slip of the tongue about the official fandom name, or just using one of the suggestion...?"

Would you like to be my first customer? XD Ha, no hypnotizing necessary XD Yeah, it was a suggestion from the kfans because they said compared to EXO, they looked like squids and I was just like 'WTF'? International fans for sure won't be calling themselves that. Yeah, I don't like Exostans either. The word 'stan' just turns me off. Stans tend to be obsessive, delusional and a slew of other words. NOPE NOPE NOPE. Hmm, I hope so. I even like Simon's a.k.a Fangurilla little saying 'I'm not ugly. I'm exotic' XD

I LOVE THAT SAYING!! and when he said that he was hoping for Exotics because it's clever, and he likes to think of himself as clever
I loved their video review of 'What Is Love' as well, "I LOST MY PANTS!!!!" and I finally know where that came from XD
or the one about 'Mama', where they basically blame Chanyeol and Kai for Exo being kicked off ExoPlanet or something
Yes, I would- how much, and PayPal or points? Hmmmm, I just have to decide who I want you to draw :L

ME TOO! XD Ha, you gotta love Simon. Oh yeah, they come up with some pretty funny and clever sayings. Like 'Taeman' Xd I laughed so hard when I watched that video. Hmm, well I'm thinking of doing point commissions. I still haven't figured out to use paypal For chibis, maybe just 25-50 points, and an additional 10 for any additional chibis added to it. I don't want to charge too much because they're so simple.

He's very loveable- EatYourKimchi are kind of my guide to things I can/should not do in Korea, because I hope to move there eventually- and to that end, I'm going to start learning Korean this summer!! Even though really I should be practising my Chinese over the summer...
That's really cheap for chibis O.o and your arts so pretty
But really it's up to you what you want to charge
How many slots will you have? Because I definitely want one anyways

Yeah, he is. And the two of them are so cute together :3 Really? That's cool. You moving there for school or something? If I ever go to Korea, it'll just be to visit. I think it'd be cool to live there but I'd be homesick and besides, it'd be hard to get around because I don't really know the language. Really? I always suck when it comes to pricing my things. Maybe 100 or so? I'll figure it out and let you know in a journal post or something XD Aw, thank you :3
Hmm, I'm thinking five, I can manage that ^^

ExoticSapphire In reply to strawbrry-moch1 [2014-01-24 23:20:05 +0000 UTC]
I think they're an awesome couple
Nope, I want to move there permanently, or at least for a while, kinda like how Simon and Martina moved over there for a few years, but depending on how it goes, I may move to another country, go home, or stay- somehow I see myself staying
Simon and Martina didn't speak the language either, but you could always pick it up anyways :3
I think whatever you feel is the right price for you, that's what you should charge

Me too. I'm so jelly :3
Oh, that's cool. Moving from one country to another, experiencing different cultures. Sounds fun ^^
Yeah. I know a little, but I think if I truly tried to learn it, I could. It's still pretty limited. I only pick up certain words and phrases. Ha, whenever I try talking to my family in another language they look at me so strangely. XD Or when they hear me listening to K-POP or any other Asian music.
Agreed. I'll figure it out and I'll let you know since you seem to be interested ^^ Ha, I'm guessing you'd maybe want someone from EXO? Oh, and is that Ken in your avatar pic?

ExoticSapphire In reply to strawbrry-moch1 [2014-01-25 12:36:21 +0000 UTC]
I want a relationship like that :3
Though knowing me, even if I do move out of Korea, I'll stay in Asia
I'd say you'd be able to- singing songs in the language you're learning can be a great way to learn the language once you have a bit of it, because it kind of takes away some of the hesitation that people can experience when speaking a language that isn't their first language
Okay and then I shall steal all your slots commission you
Yes, I do want someone from Exo but good luck kidnapping Kai
Would you draw art of Non-K-Pop stuff as well (Oooohhh all them hyphens are confusing :L )
and yep, that's Ken in my avatar pic- are you a Starlight as well? :0

strawbrry-moch1 In reply to ExoticSapphire [2014-01-25 16:03:22 +0000 UTC]
Me too. One day...hopefully :3
Yeah, and by singing the songs you become familiar with a lot of the pronunciation. I like read along with the lyrics so I know which part is which. But I want to learn to read hangul, not just the romanized version. My friend and I are planning on learning it together, that way it'd be more fun.
Ha, I don't mind. Steal all the slots you want XD
Of course. I'd draw pretty much anything, just let me know. (So many hyphens XD)
Heck yeah! VIXX is freakin' awesome. I'm also a BlackJack, V.I.P, LO./\.E, Inspirit, BBC, Exotic, KISSME, BABY and Army (that's BTS' fandom name, right? o.O) But yeah, those are the only groups whose fandom I claim, but I listen to a lot of different artists and groups.

and then I shall run into you on the streets of Korea- Omo, that would actually be so funny :L
Or you could always mess up the pronunciation, if you do it like me and just have the lyrics in front of you without listening to the song itself to get the proper pronunciation (I do that all the time, Lol)
*steals every slot*
Other people might mind though
Yeah, I'd say myself I'm a Starlight, E.L.F (Super Junior were my first- wait, that phrasing sounds kinda dirty, but you know what I mean the 'Sapphire' in my username also came from my love of Super Junior), Exotic (of course
), Shawol (Sleepless Night is beautiful, just ugh feels) I like a lot of bands, but really they'd be the ones who's fandoms I could honestly say I belong to- I love Girls' generation too, but I wouldn't call myself a SONE because I always get confused with the girls names, I gave up fairly early on with learning their names, because I was so bad with names, plus the names for the most part weren't like any names I'd ever heard before (Like Tiffany, what a strange name XD //slapped), and I've gotten kind of better with Korean people's names, but I never went back and learned SNSD's names, 'cos I'm lazy :L
I also look set to become a big fan of GOT7, two days since I heard their song, and I'm addicted
It also looks like either Mark or JB will be my bias- I mean, they're both great dancers, and Mark's so cute, but JB's voice is just ugh- major feels, yanno?)

strawbrry-moch1 In reply to ExoticSapphire [2014-01-25 17:03:12 +0000 UTC]
Yeah...except I don't even know what you look like XD But that would be funny. Like 'Hey! I know you..."
I write down the lyrics to the songs I really love, like U-KISS' 'Someday' and 'A Friend's Love'. I still find Japanese easier to pronounce, though, because it's very similar to the English language.
Eh, I don't care eh eh eh eh eh XD jk
My friend is a huge fan of SJ. I'm only somewhat a fan; I only know like five of their songs But I really like Kyuhyun and Yesung. Oh, and Heechul. He's so weird...in a good way
Ha, because I naughty naughty XD I love SHINee, too, but over the years I've sort of lost some of the excitement I used to show towards them. Like, I still love their music- they're amazing singers and performers- but, I don't know. I don't go crazy over them. Like, I used to be obsessed with Taemin and Key. But yes, Sleepless Night is such an amazing song. Misconceptions of You & Me were great. I love all the songs.
Really? I'm really good with names. But because of how many members there were, it did take a while for me to learn then. Same with SJ. Oh, and EXO! OMFG O.O But now I can tell them apart just by looking at the backs of their head. I never forget faces. Tiffany is a very common name here in the States. I knew at least four or five girls with that name. My name, however, isn't that common.
I'm not good with keeping up new groups. I've heard of them because I go on allkpop, but I don't know who they are. There are so many groups I still haven't listened to. I'm excited for WINNER to debut, though

That would be even funnier, we'd probably meet and might be talking for a while or something (because apparently at a certain stage in Korea you'll be like "OMG NON-KOREAN PEOPLE!!! AHHHHHH!!!") like you'll just want to meet someone who speaks English or something- I dunno, it was something Simon and Martina said before- but anyways, then I'd go home and be on DeviantArt and just basically be like- yeah, I met someone today, who wasn't Korean, and ladeedadeeda, excited and stuff, then you'd just see it and be like "That sounds familiar...." and then you'd realise it was me- yep, could totally happen :L
I know what you mean, I get into groups and really like them, but then I get into other groups and kind of forget about some of the previous groups- well, it's not like I forget about them, it's more like I become less excited about them, but I can still love their music, just they've lost the shinyness of a new found group- like Bigbang, I fricking love them, and I listen to loads of their songs- I also love G-Dragon as a solo artist, and T.O.P as well (actually I like all of them as solo artists, but GD and T.O.P. are my faves <33), but I don't follow their activities the way I follow say, Exo's- like I'd listen to Exo's music, watch their music videos, fancams of different performances, and I watch a lot of shows that they appear on and stuff as well, but with Bigbang it's really just the music now, and I'm also kind of less inclined to watch shows with Super Junior in them, I mean I love them and I always will, but it's like I can only really focus on one group at a time or something, (I do watch shows with them in them, but just- ugh, so many videos and college work and other stuff to do, plus when I watch a Super Junior video, I tend to watch it over and over again )
Yeah, it tool me a while to learn SuJu's names as well, I learned Siwon and Kyuhyun's names right away, because they were my friends biases, and also Ryeowook, because he's my bias- I remember the first time I watched a Super Junior video (it was A-Cha), my friend Hannah told me who Siwon was straight away, and she'd told me before I watched the video that I had to pick a favourite, and Kyuhyun was shown then, so I was lifting up my hand to point at him and say"Maybe him" but then she went "No that's Kyuhyun, you can't have him, he's Mary's" and then I saw Ryeowook, and heard his voice, and my heart just- ugh, my heart, just "BAM!"- seeing Ryeowook for the first time was like a slap in the feels, because just he's so beautiful and his voooiiiccceeee and ugh- yeah, basically, I think Ryeowook is awesome and then I saw Donghae, and he was gorgeous too, and Donghae became established as my biaswrecker- that fish, biaswrecking for life- even when he's not there -_-
and I was joking about Tiffany being a strange name, I forgot sarcasm doesn't transmit well over the internet- my bad!
(It's because her names actually Stephanie I think, but she uses Tiffany as her stage name because there was another K-Pop idol with the name Stephanie or something- I heard that somewhere before anyways, not sure where though :L and Stephanie's also my name)
GOT7's video is here; www.youtube.com/watch?v=2sAoKm… go watch it
I haven't heard about WINNER though :/

Oh wow, that sounds like a good idea for a fan-fic XD Or something on craigslist. 'Missed Connections', I think it's called.
There are just so many groups to get into. That's one of the things I like about K-POP; the diversity. Sometimes I might take me a while to get into a group but when I do... XD Oh yeah, Big Bang will always be one of my favorite groups, but the new-ness, has worn off. I love G-D, T.O.P and Taeyang. I think G-D&T.O.P are like the perfect duo. And I've always liked Taeyang but it was only after he released Ringa Linga that I said to myself 'Dang, that boy is fine.' I really like his new image. His mohawk was getting sort of played out, but it was his signature look for a while. Ha, my mom said he looked like the Asian ASAP Rocky. My MOM! I didn't even know she knew who ASAP Rocky was And ever I showed her a photo of G-D during his Heart Breaker era, every time she sees a picture of him she goes, 'That's that boy with the crusty lips, isn't it?' Xd Like WTF? I admit, his lips were dry; maybe because of the makeup but she literally says that EVERY time.
I think the first member of SJ I learned about was Heechul. He was cross-dressing as Lady Gaga, I think. The Kyuhyun, the evil maknae and then Yesung and on and on like that. I never watch fancams, well every so often but it's not really my thing. The fans are usually too loud, unless it's a fancam where the audio has been changed. I only watch like the first few performance videos of a certain group, like when they first make their comeback. Those I'll watch over and over, like VIXX's On & On and Hyde. And Voodoo Doll before they had to change their choreo.
*facepalm* Your sarcasm completely went over my head XD I was like 'Wah? How is that name weird?' DERP
Oh, I didn't know that. Isn't that other Stephanie from the group 'The Grace'? I think... I don't know. It just sounds familiar. Yeah, WINNER is the new boy group about to debut from YG.
Oh wow, that was really cool. Girls, Girls, Girls, they love me. Now I'm curious about this group ^_^

It would be quite funny :L
That's true I suppose, and then new ones come out and there are even more, and there'a always the heartbreaking moment when you discover a group, love them, and then find out they broke up a long time ago /3
I've never heard of ASAP Rocky before- but I'm not really into rap- although I do like the raps in Korean songs, just I don't listen to Western rappers- only Korean ones
Lol, crusty lips XD
Ahh yes, Kim Heechul and his wonderful fantastical cross-dressing- gotta love that sexy femboy- Asian idols cross-dressing is always fun, though :L
I was actually just looking at something Heechul said before, about how he doesn't go for looks, because he'll always be prettier XD
Yeah, I'm the same with On & On- i listen to it on On and On //slapped
What do you mean, they had to change their choreo? Who what when where WHY?
Sarcasm + internet= never going to work :L
I have no idea, I just heard t somewhere before, and I was kinda like "Oh, that's cool- I share a real name with my favourite member of SNSD" :3
I might check WINNER out when they debut, so Though I'm lazy, and forgetful- so someone might have to make me *nudge nudge wink wink*
They're so awesome- but Mark and JB are mine- I can't decide yet which ones the bias and which ones the biaswrecker, we'll see though

I haven't experienced that yet, fortunately. I'd hate to get into a group and find out they're disbanded TT^TT
I don't listen to him, though. My brother does and a bunch of other rappers. It's all he listens to. He makes fun of the music I listen. There are only a few Western rappers I'll actually listen to. Drake, Eminem (love him!) and Nicki Minaj. Most Western rap just sounds like noise because there's no substance to their music. They rap about the same thing over and over... it's so annoying.
lol, I know. I laughed so hard when she said that. Out of all the K-POP I listen to, she only likes and recognizes SHINee. She even had 'Ring Ding Dong' as her ringtone at one point. She doesn't really like anyone else; just a song here or there like BoA's 'Eat You Up'.
It's so sad, though, that a lot of the asian idols make better looking girls than actual girls. Example: Ren from NU'EST. He is so freakin' pretty, it'snot even fair.
Um, yeah, you know the part where they stab each other with the pin? Yeah, they had to take that part out because SBS, MBC and KBS were worried it'd cause young kids to do self-harm -_- It really makes you wonder just how impressionable kids are. Those are the only parts that were changed, the rest is the same but that was the coolest part. They were voodoo dolls for crying out loud and now they can't even prick themselves XD
WINNER is all I hear people talking about on allkpop. I go on the forums a lot. I still haven't watched their reality show, but oh well *shrugs*
Ha, are you trying to give me a hint? Very subtle. I honestly don't know much about them but I have listened to the songs they released. 'Go Up' and 'Climax' and also 'A Boy Like Me'. I keep hearing people talk about those two but I don't know who is who XD

It happened with me and TVXQ
Your mum likes SHINee? Wow, my mum doesn't like K-Pop at all
She only listens to really awful not very good music, just ugh- hate the music she listens to DX
Yeah, I mean if I was as pretty as some of them- I'd be a lot prettier than most girls, which is really quite sad when you think about it- but oh well, they're too pretty not to love the way they look
I knew the official music video was banned in South Korea, so they made a 'Clean version', which is pretty much just the dance, but still awesome But that kinda sucks, I mean they should know it's not real, right? Some people are just weird- but then again, I suppose Korea does have a very high rate of suicide, so they're probably just trying to make sure that any young people who watch it don't take it into their heads to copy that, or take the idea from that that's how they want to do it, or something
I don't go on allkpop at all- too lazy
and there was nothing subtle about tha, but just in case - MAKE ME WATCH THEIR VIDEO DEBUT THING WHEN IT COMES OUT!!!! Lol //slapped
Mark is the one with red hair, and JB has the whitish grey hair

I had just gotten into TVXQ right before the split. I was like 'Why?' Right when I was getting into them, BOOM! Disband >:C
I don't listen to them as much now, but I do listen to JYJ. Especially with their solo projects like Jaejoong's 'Mine' and Junsu's 'Tarantellagra'
Yep, I was so surprised but I think it couldn't help. Like I said before, when I first got into SHINee I was obsessed. All I listened to was RDD and Lucifer and then Helle. And coincidentally, those are the three songs she likes. Ha, what kind of music does she listen to? XD Like, music from the 70s or 80s or something?
So unfair! XD
Oh, now that you mention it, their banning it makes more sense. I hadn't even thought of that. It's pretty sad that the rate is so high. Their standards, themselves, are pretty high and everyone's so competitive. I can't even imagine having all that pressure place upon my shoulders.
There's so much drama on allkpop. Seriously, a lot of the fans there are just downright stupid. But I enjoy watching it all go down and throwing in my two cents every now and then I WILL! HAVE NO DOUBT ABOUT THAT, MY FRIEND!!!
Ah, okay. Now I'm going to have to re-watch it and search them up on google ^^

I hate it when that happens
But yes, 'Mine' and 'Tarantallegra' were both amazing songs, I loved the videos too- I think I may have preferred 'Mine' though, because sexy vampire/fallen angel Jaejoong is sexy. and a fallen angel. vampire. thing. yeah :L
Those were three of my favourite SHINee songs too, when I first heard of them!!
Ehh, she listens to country music, mostly- not like Taylor Swift country music, which is really more country/pop music, I'd be able to put up with that, but just- country country music, like The Dubliners and, Sean Keane
Oh well, that's life, I suppose :I
Yeah, I was reading an article about suicide in Korea (I read several, actually) and it's just so sad- I mean, about forty people a day lose their lives to suicide, and I read something about a school girl who committed suicide, and in her note she said that she was sorry, but life was "just too hard"- and she was ten years old. That just, shocked me so much, I mean I have heard of it happening in other countries too, but the day it stops getting to me is the day I no longer have a heart- plus the amount of people committing suicide seems even worse when you know that, in most countries anyways, if you take the number of people that kill themselves every year, and multiply it by twenty- that's the amount of failed suicides every year. I think Korea actually has one of the highest rates of suicide in the world, and it's one of the countries that spends the least on suicide prevention measures- blegh, this is depressing :/
Drama, EVERYWHERE!! Gah, Heechul would love it //slapped because Heechul-ist
Lol, Heechul-ist //bricked
I love him really, just making fun of Asian idols is- well, fun :3
Yes, you tell me when they debut, and then I shall watch their videos!!

Same here. And I liked the overall rock vibe to it. You don't hear it a lot in mainstream K-POP. Of course, there are K-ROCK bands, but not so much in idol groups or artists so that completely set him apart from everyone else. It was awesome.
Oh wow, yeah, that's pretty bad. I can't stand country music...and I'm technically from the country TN YA'LL! XD
That many? That's terrible. There should be far more funding going towards suicide prevention then. Like, seriously. It's almost as if it doesn't phase anyone because it's so common, and that's just sad.
True. Very, very fun XD I. REGRET. NOTHING

Yeah, I like rock songs, and also metal/screamo stuff sometimes, I wouldn't really consider myself a hardcore rock fan
To be quite honest, my musical taste is bit all over the place- some classical music, instrumental stuff, Vocaloids, music from animes and dramas, English and Japanese covers of Vocaloid songs, (I really love Hanatan, her voice is amazing, you should listen to her version of Palette <3), rock music, metal, screamo, hip-hop, dubstep, pop, K-Pop (of course <3333) bit of everything really, I think
I don't think being from the country has anything to do with it though... :L
Yeah, I think it's just so stigmatised though, like I know it is to some extent in other countries, like in Ireland there are a lot of people who might judge someone or treat them differently if they knew they had depression, but there are a lot of people who won't, and there are also a lot of helplines and support groups and stuff- though I know recently, they have started to try to do more about it, like setting up cameras in schools, to try and prevent bullying/catch the bullies, but there are still places like the bathrooms and in classrooms, where there are no cameras, and that's where the bullying tends to happen now- just, ugh, some people really get on my nerves about things like that
Je regrette, rien

Rock is always good. I like the rawness of it; it really gets your heart pumping.
And I'm pretty much the same. I listen to all types of music, no matter the language or genre. Japanese, Chinese, Korean, German, French...Hip Hop, (some rap) R&B, Rock, Pop, Screamo, Dubstep, does matter to me, just as long as it sounds good and isn't a bunch of meaningless noise.
True, but it's played even more in the country. Though, where I live, blues, rock and rap are heard more often. I'm not in the country country, l.ike Nashville or Chattanooga. Memphis! Though, I was born in Chicago. Ha, when we first moved to Memphis people would constantly comment on how my accent sounded weird and would ask me say different words and whatnot. But now, since I've lived in Memphis most of my life, whenever I go back to Chicago it's the same thing. I'm like a blend of both XD
I really wish things like that wouldn't be stigmatized. It doesn't help anyone, especially the person who is actually going through it. Well, it's good that they're trying. They just need to enforce it more; especially in the classrooms. I read that the teachers simply ignore it, as if the bullying isn't even taking place right in front of them. And also, that the whole class, sometimes, will isolate that one person and not pay them attention at all. Like, they're an outcast or something. I've never had to go through that, thankfully; I got along just fine with everyone. Besides, if you got on my bad side, you had better no ask me to draw anything for you, especially when school projects came around XD I made so much money. Aw, good times :3

Yeah, and it's so energetic, makes me feel lively
I listen to some songs in French too, not many though- but Asian songs are my thing, maaannn
Sometimes, when I'm feeling really bad-ass, I'll even listen to songs in English //slapped
Yeah, I prefer the songs I listen to have meaning, though sometimes I'll listen to stuff simply because it sounds good, but not very often :L
To be honest, I can't tell the difference between different genres, it's all music to me, so it's no wonder i don't care about genres XD
I am in the country country- like, we have to drive to get to the nearest shop (as in, food shop), and to go shopping shopping, it's so far to drive DX
and then when you consider the fact that I lived kind of on the edge of a town when I was younger (up to when I was, like, 10 or 11 maybe?), I lived in a rented house in an estate, and there were two small food shops at the entrance of the estate, where the cars drove in, but you could go out another way, kind of the back of the estate I suppose (but it was only for walking), and you'd be beside the river, and you could just walk into town that way, with all the shop shops, it's even worse, because I was so used to that, and having to drive to the shops is so annoying, and I have very few neighbours now, whereas when I was younger I had lots of of neighbours, and lots of kids to play with and stuff :I
I think sometimes when people treat them differently, their not doing it to be mean, or even doing it in a mean way, it's just sometimes they can be scared to upset them or do something that will set them off or something- though some people are just assholes about it :I
That's awful though that they ignore it- but what's even worse is that sometimes the teachers even join in on the bullying, which is just- ugh, Korea, we are so done- no I love you really, don't leave meeeee!!!! //slapped for being stupid
I wasn't really the kind of person who got along with everyone, I was always shy, so I know what it's like to feel isolated- as they say, 'The worst kind of loneliness isn't being alone, it's being surrounded by other people and feeling alone.' I totally know what that means, like I can be on my own, I totally don't mind it, but feeling left out or whatever is awful D:
Though I could talk to people, it was just that i wasn't really close with any of them, plus some of the people in my class were such bitches that I didn't want to be close to them :I like, EVER

Me too! It makes me want to dance, even though I suck at it XD
It's so freakin weird, because at one point (I think when I first got into K-POP) it was all I listened to, and when I finally did listen to a song in English it sounded weird because I'd gotten so used to hearing Korean. I've balanced it all out now but I definitely overdosed myself in the beginning. I'm the one that got my friend into it. Before, she mainly listened to Japanese music; visual kei, j-pop etc. Now, it's all about K-POP! K-POP! K-POP! K-POP! I've created a monster! o.O lol
I think it's harder to tell the difference between genres now because many artists are incorporating all types of genres in their music. It's all a blend of different sounds.
OMG. I couldn't imagine it. I like living in the city where everything is close. And there are so many different types of shops.
Well, I live in an apartment complex and there are plenty of neighbors but I don't fraternize with any of them. There was one lady whose kids I used to babysit but she moved. I really don't care to know any of my neighbors either, to tell the truth
I understand. I think people should take the time and educate themselves on these things so they'd know there's nothing to be afraid of. Ha, I know right! Are you serious? They actually do that? WTF? That's terrible. I imagine it's bad enough to be picked on by your peers but your teacher as well. Let's slap them all! ONWARD MARCH! XD
Me too, but I had a small group of friends that I could hang out with. We're still friends today You don't need a lot of high schools because really most of them turn out NOT to be true friends anyway. I know. But I didn't care. I don't like people...well, some people I can tolerate but for the most part I'm just like 'No. Go away.' XD I think pretty much everyone can relate to that. There were some major bitches at my high school. I was always nice to everyone though, even the people I didn't like. Like 'Yeah, I may be smiling but I fucking hate your guts. I like your shoes, though.' >_<
Oh, and I'm almost done with one your commissions. I could have had it done sooner but I've come done with a cold. Thanks Mom -_-

Yeah, the same thing happened to me, like what is this language, I've never heard it before????!!!! XD //slapped
My friend who got me into K-Pop is just really about Super Junior and a few other songs she likes from different groups, but I'm like EAT SLEEP AND BREATHE K-POP!!!! AND THEN MY LOVE OF K-POP SPREAD TO K-DRAMAS AND K-SHOWS AND K-RADIO!!! //kicked
I love Japanese music too, Vocaloid though for me, I've never to J-Pop or any visual kei bands, the closest to J-Pop I've listened to are Japanese songs by Korean artists
That's true, I mean there's so many songs that are more than one genre, but just in general I don't really know the difference, just what I like and what I don't like, and sometimes there are songs I'm unsure whether I like them or not
Yep, it's not nice when you're used to living in the city, but it's okay sometimes, though I'd prefer to live in a town or city, or maybe on the edge of a town or city, like you can get to the shops fairly easily, but you can still have some space and not be right in the middle of the hustle and bustle, and all that noise Yeah, I don't know all my neighbours, like in the country a lot of the time, people would know all their neighbours for a couple of miles around, and they'd know their neighbours' business, too- but I don't really like that, I mean it's not like it affects me or anything, so yeah- I don't really care to know other people's business, unless it's my friend's and theirs something I could do about it, even just to listen, yanno?
Yeah, I suppose maybe some teachers just shouldn't have been allowed to become teachers :/
Like, when I was in Playschool (comes before National School, it's optional though, it's basically creche, all you really do there is play, I think- not like I remember, I didn't go for long) but anyways, I went to Playschool when I was three, and within the first few days I think, one of the other kids had decided they didn't like me, and he went and told the teacher that I had hit him, when I actually hadn't, and the teacher hit me- like, WTF man, I was three years old for crying out loud!! But I was really upset when I went home, and after that, any time my parents tried to get me ready for school, I'd scream my head off and refuse to get dressed or anything, though it wasn't until a few years later that I actually told them what happened- I've never liked authority figures sine then :/
Yeah, I didn't have a lot of friends, but the friends I did have, I loved them to bits, and have managed to stay in contact with most of them pretty well, like some of them I haven't actually seen since school finished, but some of them I've managed to meet up with a few times
I like your shoes though- pffffttt, I think I just died XD
Oooohhh, yay, can't wait to see it!
Oh, poor you- make sure to keep warm, so it doesn't get worse!! D:

This is so cute The sparkles only make it cuter~ I hope the official fandom name DOES end up being EXOTIC, cuz it seems like the best one suggested. I like the panda hoodie, it's just so bloody adorable

Well, yeah, not too bad. Ha, exactly what I thought. Supposedly, the Korean fans came up with that name because compared to their idols, they looked like squids(?) WTF? XD
