living on a prayer.;
That awkward moment when you call a Korean rapper out on Twitter for using the n-word and he replies to you. Oops. I was mostly being facetious, even; he tweeted "우리나라말로 Nigga 에 가장 가까운건 님아 가 아닐까요. 워썹 님아." so I felt compelled to point out that no, actually, "nigga" and "nimah" don't really have the same meaning at all... And then he tweeted again, "btw no offense to black people" and I just said, "i11evn stop I really want to like you." Of course that would be the tweet he replied to. In the end it was okay, though; I explained to him that a lot of people understandably take issue with him and artists like him (Zico, Hanhae, BIZNIZ, etc) using that word and even though I'm pretty sure I didn't do the best job of explaining why, he still said something like "Thanks for the advice, I'll be more careful" and that was that.
I don't know how to feel about this LOL.
What else? Nothing much.
I ordered Tablo's book Pieces of You and apparently it arrived on Saturday, so I'm going to pick it up today and probably read it instead of doing my Chinese homework this afternoon. I feel like I should regret this decision that I've already made but I don't. I'm so thrilled about his comeback... I don't know. I have a lot of feelings. Tablo is brilliant. This album is going to be brilliant.
Mentioned his on Plurk a bit ago but I got accepted into the LMU portion of the study abroad program! I think (hope) that being accepted into the Sogang part of it is more or less a done deal after LMU has nominated me, but I don't want to get complacent and end up disappointed. Apparently it could take 2-3 more weeks for me to find out whether I was accepted into Sogang so I guess we'll see, but for now I feel pretty good. I keep having these moments where I go, "Holy shit, five months from now I could be in Korea," and I just get really excited ;~;
Speaking of Korean, mine sucks! 내 한국어 안좋아요. I'm all right when it comes to grammar, because of Japanese, but my vocabulary is really lacking. I should make flashcards, probably today as I study for my Chinese exam which is on Wednesday. I'll kill two birds with one stone, or something.
What else. I wrote a feature article for the LA Loyolan about a feminist art exhibit at our school gallery and my editor keeps telling me that he has "no words" for my writing and how he's "stunned" and etc. I guess he really likes my writing, haha. I never really know how to react to people being this enthused about my writing, especially because I feel like my journalistic writing is way shitty compared to my fiction writing... Oh well. I'm not complaining, he's really nice and I appreciate the compliments.
RE: Writing, NaNoWriMo is coming up and I actually have an idea I want to make real. I've been toying with the idea since I was driving down from California-actually, explaining the entire idea aloud to myself was part of how I kept myself awake when I was driving and it was a bit late. It has to do with women who swallow stars. I'm not sure how I feel about it but I guess we'll see the shape it takes. It'll be nice to actually post something at fictionally again, though. That place has gone unused for so long!
That's all for now. :")
