NANOWRIMO IS OFF TO A TERRIBLE START. 444 words lol. ,___, I'm too tired. I'm still in my uncomfortable outside clothes bc I'm too lazy to change. I also haven't eaten bc I'm too tired to get up and "cook" (re: find something to microwave). Similar logic to how sometimes I'm too tired to lie down so I stay standing/sitting in awkward positions.

BTW! I was talking to [livejournal.com profile] kipling about this and she didn't know either! Maybe NO ONE in ifandom knows?!: The other day my fambly was watching this kdrama (well it's more like an hour long comedy. a kdramedy I guess) called Merry Mary/Merry Daegu Attack Defense Battle* and Daegu, the ~lead male~, says that he's sorry for Merry because her parents gave her a dog's name. (The name's actually because she was born Christmas Eve. Also ~he's not one to be talking~, "daegu" means codfish lol.) My mom explained that Merry is like a stereotypical name for a dog in Korea; back in the day, like, all girl dogs were named Mary (Merry/Maeri) and all boy dogs were named John (JJONG!!!!). SO "JJONG" IS NOT JUST A CUTE NONSENSE WAY OF SAYING HIS NAME, it is a legit PERFECTLY FITTING NICKNAME. lol did anyone know this?! I DID NOT, I was so :OOOOOOOOO!! I even made my mom spell it to make sure I was thinking of the same thing lol. And DYING, even little kids could see the puppy in him. And lol at the thought of Key picking up the nickname and running with it. (Since "jjong" keeps being attributed to him, and it's likely that within SHINee he was the first to know of it/start using it. and fans knew about it from him? idk I don't remember the interviews lol.) Okay I just wanted to let people know! "jjong" is the most cute and most fitting nickname, the most the most! jjong jjong!! 

*it is pretty A+ and I find most dramas unwatchable. also later Merry gets two dogs and the two squabble while naming them and are like "Merry run away!" and "Jjong bite him!" :3

nablopooomooooooooooo ;___;

ik, I'm so clever :o

LOL I know! My dad's name starts with a "Jong" too and when he came to the US he just decided on John in like a minute. Same with my uncle whose name starts with "Dong"-->"Don." smh! (In comparison my mom and my aunt spent like a week deciding on their names lol.)

jjong is so qt, I can't believe how well it fits him. it even looks cute romanized!

What on fucking earth? Kim Jonghyun how is your life situated so perfectly? This is a serious, open question to the cosmos.

IKR I was like lolling in disbelief and :oooooo when I found out. like everything about him is so exactly right, lol; you couldn't even have made him up, his existence makes no sense, it's just too fucking perfect.
