Creepy

You know that one senior guy who hits on all the freshmen girls?

You’re that creepy guy.

Congratulations!

Unpack

I know you’re not to blame
For the baggages on my shoulders but
When I ask that you
Don’t do that or
Don’t touch me like that or
Don’t say that word
I do it because I am afraid of these spells
Conjuring back old dreams,
Apparating me to a place I don’t want to be,
Materializing the things I don’t want to see again.
I do not ask you to
Take my burden away from me but
Please don’t unpack the
Tears and
Ugliness and
The thought that I stand so strong in front of you
When I am so weak and weary.

Stretch/Tension

Why is it that when these MRO1 Receptors on crayfish tail respond with electrical impulses when tension and stretch are applied to the muscles they’re connected to but I just stop working when I feel the workload stretch me apart?

And how the hell am I supposed to write three pages on these discussion questions…?

그런데 오늘은 아프고 다쳣다.

아프기 싫다.
다치기도.
그럴때 날 항상 돌봐준 네가 생각나니까.
그 기억에 울컥했다
눈물이나면 네 생각이나서
울어도 안된다.
그런데 오늘은 눈이 내머리를 안듣더라.
내 숨보다 더 아끼고싶었던
남보다 못한 네가
그런데 오늘은 기억이 나더라.

Epik Fail

NaNoWriMo progress = shitshow…. why don’t I focus on my quizzes and exams for now?

Hitting sophomore slump sooooo quickly. GAH

Once
Once
I would have laid down and died for you
Once
Once
But not anymore
Hear the sirens call me home….

Acoustic

NaNoWriMo started an hour ago! I need to type some words before my sentimental night mood goes away. I’ve been listening to a bunch of old Korean acoustic folk artists like TwinFolio and Yang Eun Hee. I wonder if any of the idol stuff we have now will ever transcend time like these classics.

Aural Fixation

Writing a paper on music philosophy makes me want to never ever take philosophy ever. I do not know what I’m talking about. My usual approaches fail here.

On the other hand, I signed up for NaNoWriMo! I think I will try, personally, to write at least 30,000 words… a thousand words a day…. Hmmmm let’s see how long this lasts.

Will be posting some of the excerpts here. I am battling between writing based on my experiences here at college or the music-soulmates one I thought up of before. Or maybe I can combine the two? To prepare, though, I think I will keep some character sketches beforehand to keep me on track.

Also, I’m trying to plan a K-pop/Asian pop dance night but, as usual, it is the case of midterms-after-midterms here in WTown.

M.ount.ain D.ay

I drank more apple cider today than a normal human being should have in an entire week.

No shame, because the apple frost that killed all of the delicious Berkshire apples were not going to ruin my fall semester.

It. Gets. Better?

Sometimes, it’s appalling how much we don’t move forward as the world… No matter how many hours we spend trying to help kids understand acceptance and love, LGBTQ teens in this country are still bullied to a point where they take their own lives. I’m shocked beyond anger that this stuff is still happening in a country where there is so much available for learning about, understanding and helping LGBTQ teens for their peers.

Imagine what it must be like in a country where majority of the population still view homosexuality as a sin or a mental disorder.

There was an advertisement made in a major newspaper by an organization of Korean mothers that claimed that they will sue SBS if their sons “become gay and infected with AIDS” because of the drama “Life is Beautiful”. They genuinely believe that this drama, which shows a healthy homosexual relationship between two men and cannot air even a light kiss scene, will magically turn all of their sons and daughters gay and therefore infected with AIDS.

It’s absolutely appalling that such adverts can be made on a major newspaper, but the truth is that there’s not enough education on sexual identity and acceptance in Korea that a large part of the people will never question it. I can’t imagine what life would be like as an LGBTQ teen in South Korea. Not only is coming out basically impossible to do under the already-abusive bullying in the Korean school system, there are very few role models or support programs to help these teenagers.

Knowing a little bit about Korean pop culture, it’s absolutely saddening to see that while movies about gay men relationships and fantasy coupling of boy/girl group members are accepted, real people with different sexual orientation are rejected by families and friends.
