Oh, geez. I just finished watching the saddest thing I have ever witnessed.

Well, maybe not the saddest...but I got emotional and a bit teary-eyed. Which is saying something for me...although, I think I might have gone a bit soft since I fled to college.

It was called "Autumn Fairy Tale/Gaeul donghwa," and it's a 16-episode Korean TV drama I saw here,  and it was a really beautiful love story, with really beautiful actors. The reason I checked it out was because it starred my beloved Won Bin, as well, for whom I have discovered a completely revolutionary level of respect and love. I mean, first it was simply physical (because he is, in my complete opinion, the most physically perfect and beautiful man on the face of this earth anywhere. And I know it sounds like I could say that about the other members of my harem, but in the looks department according to my tastes, he is truly without peer.) , but after seeing first-hand the surplus of acting talent he has within himself, I am now impressed with his emotional capacity and...suavity. In short, he is even more fabulous than I ever could have dreamed.

Most of the acting was really great, actually. I have developed a new-found affinity towards K- and J-Dramas; of the [limited amount of] shows I have seen, I have been rather impressed and humbled by the talent of the actors performances. That, and the plotlines, while tending towards the cliche` side, are not all that ridiculous (like american sitcoms and soap operas), and I was pleasantly surprised to realize that throughout the storyline, the content remained perfectly PG-rated, while maintiaining a strong, profound romance. (Spoiler Alert! : A refreshing change from the majority of oversexed and, oftentimes short-lived American programs, "Autumn Fairy Tale" had just two kisses shared by the protagonist couple: One gentle, close-mouthed peck on the lips, and another on her forehead.)

Anyway. It was just a beautiful story to which a sap like me became swiftly addicted. And the fact that Yoon Jun-suh (Song Seung-Hun...and a hun, he is)and  Han Tae-suk (Won Bin)  are both devastatingly tender and romantic certainly didn't hinder that.

OH! And fun fact--I finally realized, halfway through the 13th episode, that "Autumn Fairy Tale" is the source of the first picture on which I ever photoshopped my face next to Won Bin.

Which clearly signifies that I am to be his bride.

Anyhoo, a GREAT night was last night! I spent the usual 6 hours straight hunched over developer, fixer, and stop bath in the darkroom, working on my prints. And guess what?

I never have to do it again!

The last

time

EVAAAAHHHH!!!!!

They're all rather mediocre prints, of course, but ask me if I care! They're done, and ah...it is a relief and a half. Of course, I should reprint some for my portfolio, but I have the option to do so or not! And believe me, friends...when God gave me free will, he def knew what he was doing. Choice is a beautiful thing.

Aaaaand, I finally understand how to render that damned perceptual drawing. It just clicked for me! So happy.

Now, all's I gotsta do is to get through those agonizing Orchestra rehearsals tomorrow, Friday, and Saturday nights, dedicate Sunday to studying for Math with Marin, finish my first painting tomorrow and start/finish the last one on Monday (whilst working on my sketches at home and on Saturday while volunteering), beg Marin for help in learning how to make a friggin' webpage on that damned DreamWeaver Program while studying for that bogus final, and remember to tell Dad to bring a bigger car so I can fit all of my stuff with us.

Yep! Mostly, I'm worried about Math and WIFT. I'm concerned with the pace of my paintings, but I know I'll finish them. Photo certainly helped relieve me of a major burden.

Ah! And the final piece of wonderful news--Jenilee is coming to visit me for a week in New York at the end of May! I'm so excited!!! We're going to check out the city, she can meet Mrs. Knoblauch, and I'll take her to Fire Island a prove to her that it isn't a naked beach for gay people! We're gonna have so much fun...and she'll get to meet my sister, too. Whom I talk about a LOT...I think my friends here know more about her and her embarassing baby stories than they do about me. (Actually, now that I seriously think about it, that may well be the case. I am rather candid about my baby sister... ::bites hankerchief::)

Well, today was a good one. And the fact that I am once more free to eat my fill of peanut butter makes me inconceivably (INconceeeivable!) happy. But I'm neglecting my training this week, and for good reason...with all the work I have to do, I truly have no time to go running. But next week I'll pick it up again! I promise [myself].

And once more, I've decided that I can wait for love! Forget trying to go out with someone for the sake of having a date. I'm alone, but I'm hardly lonely. I'll go out with someone when it's someone I am sincerely and freely interested in; otherwise, why bother? When I fall in love (...it will be--ee completely...), I'm going to town with it. It'll be insane. I'm a little scared... So that means I need to relish in my freedom all that I can! Because love in the true, intense matter, is absolute agony! I am so lucky I am reasonably innocent of those ways---withstanding that 13-year bout of unrequited puppy love (oh, why am I so loyal?)--for when I finally find that Won Bin special Michael Buble` someone George Michael...hey, I can dream, can't I? , I'm going to be a mess.

And now, it's shower time! :D
