I feel like I'm going to burst if I don't say this somewhere, lol. That recent Candy Magazine SHINee ~interview~, the one where they all praise Onew and Key calls Minho is best friend, has no real source. NONE!

HERE IS MY MANIFESTO ON WHY THE INTERVIEW IS BULLSHIT

- there are no scans or news of the full interview.
- the only results for it ("shinee candy magazine") on Google are from tumblr or places that seem to have directly copy+pasted it, as in the same exact excerpt with the same exact translation (ex: asianfanfics); none of the links date further back than two days ago
- there's this mention here but uh the official site for Candy Magazine has no mention of such an interview
- and logistically, I don't know when they would've had an opportunity to have an interview with a Philippino magazine lately?
- or why some random fan board would have gotten access to a preview like that, when the official magazine itself has no promotions for the interview.

content wise:
SHINee themselves sound really open and cohesive in it. The interview is really really smooth. lol I just think it's pretty darn suspect. It sounds like such wishful fic thinking -- all their answers are very neat, and Key's answer is just SO ODD -- like, I think it's unlikely that he would've met Minho first out of SHINee when Key entered SM in 2005, the same year as Taemin and Jonghyun, and Minho came a year later in 2006. And jongkey were definitely friends predebut. (It's not like I don't think minkey can be close, because they've really come a long way this year; I just don't think Key would be so openly dismissive of the others for any one of them, not even for Jonghyun, and particularly not for Minho. Also, personally, I don't think Key is the type of person who associates knowing someone for a long time with being close to them.)

The Onew stuff is also really wish fulfillment-y to me. It sounds like straight rehashes of what Jonghyun said in the kindest member radio clip and the things 2min have said about Onew, ~enhanced~ with more details. I mean, I guess that's why it was "believeable"; everyone's basically heard these things before and everyone WANTS to hear these things too. (Conspiracy theory: Especially since Onew has not been uhhh the most... visibly... good leader all throughout their time in Japan. There was a solid two months (I'd say mid-June to mid-August) where he was completely out of sync with them and made zero effort in any interview or interaction. He's been better now that they're coming back to Korea more, and that's made people more hopeful, but then he didn't have a birthday fan meet where fans could read about SHINee giving him attention for his special day. idk, you could read this fake interview as an attempt to remind/reassure fandom that Onew is still an important and valuable part of the group. And since SHINee aren't saying it on their own, fans have taken the initiative to say it for them!!! They probably mean it anyway, right?!!? ugh.*)

There's a chance it could be legit ofc & if anyone has a scan or something I'd love to see it so I can squirrel it away in my obsessive database~. But uhhhmmm otherwise, it annoys me when false information is spread, even if it's a (relatively) harmless fantasy like this "interview" is.

THUS SPAKE ME. whewww okay lol tyfyt~

*I am annoyed because of the last few comments here that say IT DOESN'T MATTER IF IT'S FAKE!!11. omg stopppp, this fandom is confusing enough without people deliberately pretending that fake quotes are just as valid as things people have actually said.

This took fucking forever. Life has been draining me of life!! I'm so tired all the time, idk. It's hard to get the momentum going for these nothing posts when I could just as well spam twitter but~ I really want to get back into the groove of things.

I don't even remember how to do this! I open this page and I just talk?? What about? What did I do before? I have no memory of anything. wtf did I even have thoughts in the past? Was I even alive??

Okay I'll just free-associate or something. LOL because otherwise I'm so orderly~

WE BEAT THE SUBSPACE EMISSARY ADVENTURE ON SUPER SMASH BROS BRAWL

STFU THIS IS A BIG DEAL FOR US, WE ARE NOT GAMERS, THIS IS THE FIRST TIME WE'VE EVER FINISHED A GAME WITH A STORY AND STAGES AND BOSSES!!!! AND IT FELT DAMN GOOD

It was a total team effort!! My sister and I played through it with JJB chattering non-stop in the background like a sprite that follows you around telling you "Press B to use your boomerang!" while you look online for a cheat to help you kill him, or a random townsperson on an RPG that you try to avoid because if you walk past them you'll have to Skip twenty times while they talk about the history of the mountain or that the weather looks bad today, do you want to go fishing? OR WHATEVER.................................. anywaaaay JJB was helpful exactly 50% of the time (b/c he is literally a freaking encyclopedia when it comes to the stuff he's interested in) and CRAZY ANNOYING the other 50% of the time (b/c he is better than you and WILL NEVER STOP TALKING). And on the final boss Tabuu all three of us played against him in a frantic wii remote swap loop. It took us six tries!! gd his stupid wings. JJB was the one who finished him off with Ganondorf. (More like GanonDORK hurr hurr hurr. <-- our favorite joke) OH SWEET VICTORYYYYY

ELEVEN HOURSSSSSSSSSS~!!!!!!!!!!!!

We were probably a little too invested in the trophy story, but to be fair, JJB was the only one who actually cried when Ness sacrificed himself for Lucas. ;_____;

BEE DOO ROOO DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO BA RA RA RA BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

PS, IT WAS ONLY ON EASY!!!! WE ARE ROCKSTARS

Ahahh I like the way today's LJ Writer's Block question was written:

Oscar Wilde
, a dandy’s dandy, once said that “we live in an age when unnecessary things are our only necessities.” What unnecessary possession can you not live without?

A dandy's dandy! That is both straight-up and downright delightful. An unnecessary possession I cannot live without is a necessary possession, my dear frond. *obtuse* 

I'm so tired. I'm tired of my dreams too, they're all so weird and long and exhausting or they just make me sad. Do not want, subconscious, please leave me alone.

I think the perfect song for the disco (by disco I mean bden in any capacity) to cover is BEN FOLDS FIVE'S PHILOSOPHY. Hell to the fuck yes. Oh my god, it would be so perfect the universe would have to do something quite full of dread to balance it out, like destroy a fambly of rainbows, or continue to be the way it normally is. The piano! The crazy breakdown near the end! "Go ahead, you can laugh all you want -- but I got my philosophy~" Oh man.

In an effort to stop spamming the holy cats out of you guys (your holy cats are very important to keep) I'm truncating three four five posts into one. Pls be impressed by my use of the word "trunc8."

now we come to drag days
Today at 5:32pm

It is fucking freezing in the library. I hate doing Voyager when it's this cold, my hands get frostbite and fall off into oblivion. Now I'm waiting to do email and then I'll be done wif work and I can clock out and walk the tedious walk back, oh happy day! oh joy of joys! I have a cut on the heel of one foot and a fucked-up toe on the other. :[

Guided By Voices is fucking amazing. Bee Thousand is supposed to be their magnum opus, and justifiably so, but I really really really love Under the Bushes, Under the Stars.

I'm so tireddd. The blood in my eyes are shot! I want to turn the world sideways so I can rappel down campus instead of all that tiresome walking. Goddamn it's cold here.

Tock to me of some things, fronds.



Even now when I see "Biden" for a split second I read it as bdennnnnnnnnnn. Biiiiiiidennnnnnnn.

I'm feeling so jittery right now. I feel like I'm about to jitter out of my skin. !!

I lost my UCLA ID card on Tuesday and I only noticed today. I liked my ID picture. I'm kinda bummed.

Shiina Ringo sings the living fuck out of the Heisai Fuzoku version of Gamble. It's pretty gottamn amazing.

For seriously -- in fact, for all the seriouslies in the world, Guided By Voices is incredible.

OMG DWIGHT HAVING A BABY/BUTTERED WATERMELON. I CAN NEVER UNSEE THAT.


I'm watching the Saturday Night Live special thing? I'm not sure what it is, it just came on after the office and hay whatever. So far it's not that bad! Either SNL is improving suddenly or I'm getting used to it. The Weekend Update is pretty fun. They're all stumbling over words and whatever, you can tell that they're feeling punchy. (Oh my god I just looked "punchy" up and it totally doesn't mean what I thought it meant!! D:) Republicans are always easy targets but even still I like how balls out SNL is for Obama. Am I reading the situation right when I say it feels like there is a palpable white-knuckled desperation emerging now? I kinda felt that way walking around campus with all the signs and tables and things. I saw a girl holding a huge picket sign from far away and I was all ugh it's going to be one of those 'REPENT! THE END IS NIGH' people and it turned out it was telling all the losers who weren't registered to git registered. (How do I know if I'm registered guise?? ;__; I think I fucked up my form. *so incompetent, should not be allowed outside*) What to do if McCain wins omg. There's only 19 days left!

It turns out, the more one realizes that one has really no idea how to make food for oneself, the more primal one becomes while watching the Food Network. I'm watching Ace of Cakes and I'm SO HUNGRY. I want to attack everyone and suck out their brains or whatever part of them is made of knowledge of deliciosity and live there and bake myself into a cake and eat my way out and do that every day of my natural life. Okay I don't really want to attack anyone since I sincerely love everyone, so so hard. That is seriously the best job in the world, along with working at Pixar and probably something else. Maybe. But everything else is true. OMG Ace of Cakes DVD. OMG they're looking at real estate in Los Angeles. OMGGGGG. But I don't get it? Are they thinking about moving? I thought they lurved Baltimore? Why are they thinking about uprooting everything to come live in fucking Los Angeles?? Don't do it Duff, it's not good times.

I just want to tell you that a couple of days ago I went to sleep at about 11 (because I had to get up way early the next morning), empty room, and at about 12:30 I was woken up by... what? What do you think it was? It was roomie, frying up a shitstorm. Who the fuck fries 50 lbs of firecrackers or whatever she was frying at 12:30 at night?? It was so loud. She's dumb as hell, that roomie. Also keeps turning on lights near my head. Ugh.

This Resolve commercial is so blatantly skeevy. Hella breeding discontentment.



I'm still so tired but I'm not sleeping! Mostly because I'm obsessed with organizing my music. I know how to prioritize.

I just made myself LOL imagining the disco covering Friday Bridge's Love and Nostalgia (read: imagining bden singing anything Ms. Friday Bridge has sung). Then I made myself sick with hunger imagining B&S covering it. That is not saying so very much; I want B&S to cover every song in the world because I think EVERYTHING is more interesting when Stuart's singing it. Stuuuuuuuuarrrrrt. *___*

Oh Dolly P., sing the truth. SING IT.

I am drowning in music. The discography tags on [livejournal.com profile] indie_exchange are going to be the death of me. SOMEONE POSTED THE JOURNEY DISCOGRAPHY. MOTHERFUCKING JOURNEY!! AND THE SAME PERSON POSTED THE EUROPE DISCOGRAPHY TOO. EUROPE!! SOOO GOOD OMFG. DROWWWWNING

I cannot however find a fucking Sam Cooke album. Or anything Kokia. Or anything Shiina Ringo. I'm not too surprised about the last two, but wherefore no Sam Cooke??

I am cleaning out my room b/c my aunt is moving in on Sunday. Or possibly tomorrow. I CAN'T THROW ANYTHING OUT OMG. "What if I need it someday???" When, self? When would you need a super-frilly pink short sleeve blouse? Maybe I'll go to party where the theme is frills omg get off my back. Also I have like all my Academic Decathalon stuff, LOLOL. I never even read them the first time around! Sighh.

I did concoct an outfit that looks ridiculously nineties. It looks like a very misguided attempt at being like ~corporate casual~.

MEOW
WOEM

Listen guys, lord knows I love the disco, but now they are touring with Dashboard Confessional and "the Plain White T's" and "the Cab." It's just not good times.

Alright why not:

the thing is, it wasn't even that late )

We are intellectuals.

Ways My Brother and My Cat Are Similar
- They both like the slices of orange Kraft cheese and do not like the bricks of respectable real cheeses.
- They are both small.
- They are both spectacularly loud for being so small.
- They both spill their food all over the place.
- They are both fast.
- They are both smart but do things that look extraordinarily stupid from an outside perspective; ex: act like they can't get inside the garage even though they most certainly can (cat), run bodily into a floor-length window twice (brother).
- It is tiring to get either of them clean.

Things I Have Done This Summer
- Got a new freckle on my hand.
- Played a billion neopets games.
- Drove somewhere by myself.
- Gotten a haircut.
- Wiped out on a bike.

Things I Have Not Done This Summer
- Gotten 12+ hours of sleep.
- Killed a man just to watch him die.
- LOST WEIGHT.
- Organized my laptop files.
- Figured out where the cut on my hand came from.

My plan was to grow my hair out long with bangs, either sideswept or the uh straight down kind. But recently my sister told me that this was her plan too, and we instantly agreed that we cannot both carry through with our plans. We are both fucking sick of people telling us that we look sooooooooooooooo alike and having the same haircut only exacerbates this problem. So now I'm thinking of getting a short layered bob-type thing. Thoughts?!?! (I know this is a tiresome question; that is not enough to stop me from asking it. LOL I'm a douche~!) I haven't had my hair shorter than shoulder-length since I was in elementary school; I don't know how good it'll look (same thing I said about bangs, el oh el).

I need to go to a hair salon anyway b/c I wanted to cut my bangs myself yesterday and I snocked off a good inch before I realized I didn't know what the hell I was doing. So now my bangs make me look like I have a wavy toupee. It doesn't look that bad, considering, but I gotta get this sorted out.

Generally I'm weirded out by youtube bloggeurs but I saw a couple of cute ones in the past week. Boys with accents talking about whatever their little hearts desired!! Triplehypercute!

It's weird to me when my favorite bands like bands I don't like. That's it! Deep thought for the day!

No wait! Here's another one! If a long enough time passes, I won't want to say anything I... wanted to say. I am talking about blog posts here.

Because I am a good and emotionally healthy person, I tend to think that confident people are douches. Because confidence = unlikability. A+ amirite

We've been rewatching Arrested Development, seasons 2 and 3. I forgot how much I liked the Rita arc. Charlize Theron is hella perfeckt. I got baby shakin' excited thinking about the Arrested Development movie too! I hadn't really thought about it since I first heard of the possibilty, and the magnitude of just HOW FUCKING GOOD THAT MOVIE IS GOING TO BE OMFFFGG made me almost pee myself, right there in the middle of the kitchen holding a cup of yogurt. OH YES. 

Also not news, but it needs to be said: Fox is dumber than a box of hair. I want to beat them with a bag full of batteries. This show is a MODERN MASTERPIECE, it like makes television PERFECT. AND IT GOT CANCELED. D;

I want to believe the sentiment that says "everything you need is already inside you," but I don't think it's true for everyone. Or maybe I'm scared of thinking it's true for me. Or maybe I'm full of shit. Probably that last one.

Similarly I want to believe that most famous people are famous for a good reason, but I'm not sure of that. It'd be nice if they were though.

It's funny how ordinary statements get weirdly validated and structured if they're also a song lyric! Very appropriately, I can't think of any examples at the moment. Pretend I did, and agree with me.

Also I just found out that "he not busy, being born is busy dying" (noticed from the time I wasted like two hours looking at all the graffitti on library desks) is NOT nonsense; it's from a Bob Dylan song. Oh, I thought to myself, it's probably a song I don't know. Wrong and fails aplenty! It's from It's Alright Ma (I'm Only Bleeding). But I immediately recognized it as something I've seen before, and moreover I remembered really quickly where I had seen it, so maybe subconsciously I knew that it wasn't nonsense after all. Yes.

I was sitting next to my dad at church today (he came up on Saturday) and he was falling asleep and omg he does the same thing I do when I'm desperately trying to stay awake!!!!!11 THAT IS WHERE I GET IT FROM. I thought I was like short-circuiting or something but it's genetic. (I'm morbidly curious about every similarity I have to my dad btw. Awesome, I know.)

I start summer school at CSUS tomorrow. I'm nervous even though the course sounds like sophomore yr math. I can't handle school especially not after that last quarter. College is scarring me for life, I'm not even joking.

My mom came in with a plate saying, "Do you want to eat something REALLY DELICIOUS?!" I was skeptical I admit. They looked like normal potatoes. She said all she did was steam them. Obvs she steamed them with magic.

I am eating the potatoes right now. Oh my god they are so good. Potatoes, so good. Remember that! I want an icon with potatoes in them. Maybe with baby Baldwin eyeing up the potatoes. Maybe me eating potatoes on an eagle's back.

The commies can smell the lefty pinko blood running through my veins. They've stopped and talked me up like three times so far this quarter. Two of them were my fault, since I maded Eye Contact (always with the wrong people at the wrong time! damnit self, learn appropriate timing!). But yesterday I was minding my own business, laptopping with my headphones on, surrounded by other people, when Wandering Commie singled me out! Specifically!

WC: What do you think of society today? Do you think it's good?
Me: (thinking) Christ, not again. (out loud) Ummmmmmmm.

Their radar is off. It is true that I am soashilist, but what they are not picking up on is that I'm a soashilist who doesn't know anything about politics or the economy, and one that has no intention of doing anything except taking a nap when my classes are over. (Uhh basically it's just something I decided on one Saturday and then never thought about again.) Heed these words, Wandering Commies! I will just delete all the emails you send me, I shan't attend any of your meetings, and I will not dismantle capitalism with the fury of my red red heart.

I would say that I must look pretty godless too, but I think all these Asian Christian groups are just picking off anyone they can. I dress plainly and have a stupid look on my face most of the time, so I probably look like I would be receptive. Burrrrn! Sorry Asian Christian groups, you just have bothered me one time too many. You wrecked my Sudoku-playing time.

Oh... my... God.

Jimmy is seriously the stupidest fucking character I've ever seen in my life. Even worst than Matt the Stupid Cop because at least he's not a main-main character. OMFG. I can't watch this show when I constantly want to tear my eyeballs out because of how fucking unbelievably amazingly stupid Jimmy is. Dude, someone has to kill him to save everyone from his rampant fucking stupidity. OMFG. He is so. So. SO. Stupid. It goes beyond stupid. It's SCARY how stupid he is. It's like some kind of animal whose only thought is to be as destructively stupid and bullminded and OMFG STUPIDDD as possible.

UGH I do still like Kevin. Kevin, stop being cute and likable so I have no reason to watch this show anymore.
