That was quick

The IT guy has just wandered up stairs with the remote control for the electronic clocks and set them all forward by an hour.

This means I only have to work seven hours instead of eight.

I have to confess that I like our overnight shift (10pm to 6am for seven nights and then the next seven off) - but logistically it's a bit of a nightmare to be

You will have to let go of the age thing to survive kpop in general.LOL.

I thank you for pointing me in the direction of Lixia84. i have read her work once, long ago but I had to go see what she put up since you mentioned it and fell in love with her latest entry. Really.

Take comfort though in moments like Shinhwa's return. Awesome.

I can ignore the age issue with SuJu and TVXQ, but SHINee and EXO just look too young right now. Or maybe I'm just feeling too old after a week of weird shifts.

I'm so glad you liked Lixia's story. It kind of took over her life for the last couple of weeks, but I know she'll be grateful that the mammoth effort paid off.

The Glitterburn fic is much shorter (only about 9k lol), but just as good. I got a sneak preview via email since it's for my 12 months of Homin challenge. It's well smutty HoMin but with all the character and dynamics I love.

[acornmama]

Well, between glitterburn herself and your 12 month HoMin challenge I am hooked. Now I am rooting around in Lixia'a archives.

I'm very lucky to be friends with such great writers. First time I read either of them was more than 10 years ago when they co-wrote a story in a vastly different fandom. Lixia and Glitterburn

Weirdly this entry showed up only now - 9.05am - even though I looked at LJ earlier. Very odd. Maybe the clocks going forward broke LJ.

Eww SHINee 70s porn icons!

[diagon]

No, no Serge Gainsbro ma belle Michelle icons. Those are all hideous. Like I said - they are ill-dressed children, but in about seven years they may just have grown into their faces properly and until then I can stick to listening to them and pretending Minho has taken the same growth hormones as Changminnie.

<333!

I find Exo is currently the worst band for making us feel old. The youngest was born in 1992!! Geez. And here's me still looking forward to them finally debuting after one million teasers, all mostly featuring Kai.

[diagon]

You say 1992 and then I check and find it's worse... 1994 was when the youngest in Exo was born. I was graduated and working for real money by Oct 94.

Work is quiet so I'm off to read your story again. I was so pleased to see the comments you got - you really do deserve them

[dislex1a]

1994?? Nooooo oh God that's the first time it's been a whole decade for me!!! LMAO I think I discovered boys in 1994 :P

D'aww. Thanks again, hon!

wandered over here from glitterburn's journal and just had to comment on this post.

SHINee (specifically Onew/Taemin) has eaten my brain as well. I have been a SHAWOL for over a year now, and even went so far as to see them at SMTOWN NYC this past fall. I am 48. I have given up on shame/creepy/ and just consider that I'm having a second teenager hood since my first one wasn't really much for fangirling etc. Come on over, the water's fine :)

[diagon]

Hello - nice to meet you.

I love what you say about second teenager hood. We've been talking about how different our teenager time would have been if we'd had internet and fandom. I can't quite compute how that would have worked out - I first went online when I was about 19 but didn't find fanfic til I was well into my 20s but from that first fandom I still have some of my closet friends. Online makes mutual fangirling so much easier.

The thing that impresses me about SHINee most is that I like all five of them. That never happens to me - I always have someone I love to hate who brings out the bitch in me, but these five all just seems so genuine and sweet. Of course the flip side to liking them all is that no one has coalesced as a favourite so I don't have a pairing yet. What I need to do is read and watch more translated interviews so I can find out more about personalities. So if you know of any good sources please point me in their direction.

[addicterated]

Hiya! My suggestion would be to begin by watching Hello Baby (it's older from about the time they were promoting Ring Ding Dong (which was before lucifer) http://imeimo.wordpress.com/2011/05/23/eng-sub-shinee-hello-baby-ep-1-13/ but it gives a very good idea of their personalities individually at that time. (for what it's worth - I think all of them are amazing, though Jonghyun's tendency to seem a little bit egotistical sometimes gets on my nerves. Onew and Taemin's relationship is just so... you'll see

[diagon]

Awesome, thanks so much for taking the time to do that
