Random Things about Moi
>> I’m 99% certain that I am older than most EXO fanbitches since my age is somewhat within the range DBSK/TVXQ’s fandom. LOL. I am a noona with fulltime job, used to major in Psychology, and is now busy climbing le corporate ladder.
First KPop bias is flawless Kim Ryeowook. I don’t like his voice and I think he’s an okay looking only, BUT I admire his perseverance and his passion in music. Although he often comes off as a desperate hyungwhore (LOL), he’s always a perfect gentleman. He’s still my bias jsyk.
Ultimate bias is Jung Yunho. Like I could literally go asdfgjhjkl!!1! if I see him in person. I have unreasonable love for him and he’s always perfect in my eyes. Perfect, I tell you. From side profile to personality, Yunho is my home boy.
>> Despite my fluffy schmoopy, sugary writing, I don’t actually read romance novel. Mills & Boons, Harlequins, Twilight (ew), and chicklit never made a presence in my bookshelf. My reading list mostly consisted of management books, chef/culinary related books, Seth Grahame Smith and Neil Gaiman. I also love thriller books and thriller movies.
Favorite book is Antoine de Exupery’s Little Prince and Gaiman-Pratchett’s Good Omens. Recently I’m into The Song of Achilles (which had inspired me to write imperial KrisYeol AU), but IDK why, somehow, I can only see it as a really, really good Achilles fanfic. LOL.
Can you guess what my favorite movie is?
>> Manga is my one true love. Period. Most favorite manga is Urusawa Naoki-sensei’s Monster. People often told me that 21st Century Boys is better, but Monster is always on top of my list. Thing is, having learned psychology, naturally I am often intrigued by human nature. And I think, this manga is perfection in describing its nature.
I love how Naoki-sensei portrayed the many facets of human being on that manga -- the drives and the motivation that compelled the characters to do the things they do, the niches of emotions. Most especially, I love the somewhat positive tone it gives in later chapters. And the line: human are built conveniently just ring so true to me.
Second place belong to OnePiece of course. So many feels. I can’t with my admiration to Oda-sensei. Effin’ story lines and the typical shounen jump spirit is just… But the damn story lines especially. I admire you sensei, really.
>> I listen to a wide range of music. But. I never listened to boyband in my younger years (what an old lady I am). I hated them in fact, used despised them at least. LOL. This is karma I guess, the damn kpop-ing in my life.
I was actually a brit pop fanatic and a proud part of the post Beatles’ brit invasion. Oasis’ What’s The Story Morning Glory is forever my jam as well as Radiohead’s Pablo Honey. I just have so many memories growing up listening to the bands of that generation like Blur, Bush, and Suede etc. I also love their American counterpart: Smashing Pumpkins, Live, The Wallflowers, Dave Matthews Band, etc. There is nothing quite like the 90’s for me. But then again I’m biased. LOL
One of my goals in life is to find out about the words being said by Thom Yorke in Radiohead’s Just music video. If any of you know the words, feel free to let me know.
>> I love coffee. I really do, but right now I’m trying to cut my daily dose down to two cups per week. My addiction to Starbucks’ double shot white mocha is getting out of hand, and my heart suffers the consequences. I also hate anything sweet. I may be one of the people who don’t enjoy chocolate that much.
>> I can draw in manga style. I’m serious here. I can draw but I cannot color or do art. My color/art taste is shit. LOL. Plus I’m not actually part of the artsy crowd. Too cynical and too pragmatical to be a part of them.
Psst my initial aspiration in life is to be a manga editor. Just so that I can read manga for free. See, I’m a simple person at heart.
>> For the life of me, I cannot play a video game. *facepalm*
>> I think it’s obvious: I’m a loner. LOL. Sometimes I feel bad that I rarely reply comments or whatsoever in my fics but it’s not that I’m a snobbish writer, really. I’m just naturally a loner. It always weirded me out when I do, uh ‘friendly’ stuff over LJ. I guess I’m just not cut out to be that popular fic writer whom everyone loves. Haha.
But that’s not to say that I don’t enjoy reading comments or reviews of my fic. I am grateful for them. So, if any of you read this: thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. I really appreciate your comments/love/critics. Please don’t stop ^^
>> Despite my educational background as a psychology major, I dislike reading/writing psychological disorder fics. I am not against those who write stuffs like that -- it’s just that, I often see stuffs where the author is glamorizing psychological disorder/rape simply for the sake of adding some angsty flavor in the fics. And I hate that.
I’m an idealist and I happen to believe that what we say or do will affect others in some ways. That’s why my personal philosophy in writing is to have the reader gain something, or feel something positive coming from my fics. In a way, I want people who read my fic to have that sense of positivity, instead of drowning in the world of negative emotions. And that’s why I mostly write happy endings
(LOL @ my corny self).
>> Oh hey, you manage to read up to the last bullet points. My last random fact is not juicy at all, sorry. So far my biggest achievement in life is seeing Laruku live in concert! LOL. And I consider my biggest fail as missing that Muse concert I’ve been waiting for eversince the release of Sing For Absolution. My creys. ;A;
Adding one more stupid/random things about moi: I use LOL a lot on my email convo, that's because IRL I'm such a smiley, easygoing person.
Okay dudes. Drop me a Q if you want to know more about me. LOL. As if anyone read this.
