Korea is drifting away
Harry Potter was eventful. I realized that Koreans relate to Harry much more than we ever would. Hermaine is the epitome of their high school life. Saucy, overly studious and repressed. Ron and Harry and Neville are typical guys. They are awkward with ladies because of repression and don't understand social situations. They treat girls as subserviant and cannot act mature around them. Now this may be heavily analytic of all of this, but I only came to the conclusion from sitting with the Koreans in the theatre. They brought the analysis upon themselves. They laughed at parts I didn't find funny and just watched the movie differently. Every social situation in the movie made perfect sense to them NOW, so that's why they laughed -- empathy. If I were 14 it would have been funny. But these college students (and few adults and high schoolers) empathized perfectly because it's their life. They rarely integrate sexes in high school. Anyhow that was obnoxiously long.
My Korean friends all found me and appoligized about ditching me on my birthday. Granted when I found them they were wasted. But many times truth seems to find it's way out after alcohol. Last night was the last meeting of the tennis team. We ate at the cheapest best food, aptly titled "Brother! It's me!" Well that's a lie, I didn't eat because I got their late and found them all wasted. We wandered over to a hof. They sang to me many times with a lighter. Koreans make for fun drunks in that they are already awkward to begin with. We ate squid as always and the poonjab was tossed like snowballs at people. A lot was one-shotted. Then it was off to PUMP. Here we aimlessly played PUMP (ddr) and watched others do the same. Then we went back to the apt and played online challenging tetris. This has to be the most random thing I've experienced in Korea. Tetris. Online. Against other losers playing with me at that moment. How have we become like this? Who wants to stay at home and play tetris against unknown people? So we enjoyed more American-Korean culture in talking and drinkning. I woke up due to incessant text messages like I always do. For this reason, I know I need to come home and see people separated from cell phones for more than 1 min. I realized later, in my daze, that I had a quiz to take and was sleeping because I planned on skipping class. I bolted to class to find that there was no quiz. Why Korea?
Can someone help me marry Fionna Apple? I really like this song. No reason save the beat.
The red isnt the red we painted
Its just rust
And the signature thing
That used to bring a following
I have troble now
Even remembering
So why did I kiss him so hard
Late last friday night
And keep on letting him change all my plans
I'm either sick in the head
I need to be bled dry, to quit
Or I just really used to love him
I sure hope thats it
I knew that to keep in touch
Would do me deep in dutch
Cuz it isnt the rush of remembering
Its just mush
