I liked Code Blue! It was just waaaaay too easy to mock. Also, aren't interns supposed to know how to handle at least a few medical procedures without look like they are going to throw up? At least more than 25% of them?
I suck at these question things but
1. why did you go to medical school? 2. How many languages do you speak? 3. How did you get involved in the whole Asian pop culture thing?
Also, aren't interns supposed to know how to handle at least a few medical procedures without look like they are going to throw up? At least more than 25% of them? Lol, I kinda replied to you about this in a different comment just now, isn't that weird? But YES. And they're not interns, they're fellows. So even more YES.
Aaah man, these are hard. Well, not #2, but the other ones. =D K here goes:
1. why did you go to medical school? Actually, I had a really intense discussion with a med school friend about this the other day. We were saying how false the medical school interview process is because while everyone says, "I want to help people," the actual answer to that question is a good deal more complicated. I guess I'll list a few reasons:
1) I wanted to help people. =D That's the truth, actually. As much as I wanted to write or dance, I felt like I had an obligation to do something less self-serving than that, especially since I had the ability to do so. Writing is in some ways such an egotistical process - and dancing
( ... )
4) I didn't want to end up poor. Considering my background, this seems silly. I mean, what do I know about being poor? But actually, my parents have gone through some very rough times. We're still going through them. And given those experiences, I didn't want to end up jobless, homeless, etc. This may sound like a Jane Austen statement, but love doesn't hold up well to an empty stomach. I didn't want bitterness to spoil the few things I cherished. So I chose to make my living in a different way. Not to say that I'm not interested in medicine: I love what I'm doing now. But I can practice medicine and still write and dance, whereas having one of the other two as my primary profession would make the rest impossible.
5) I somewhat believe that my parents know best. Most of the time, they have no clue what they're talking about. But they know me, they know the world, and our close relationship means their opinion carries a lot of weight with me.
6) I didn't want to let my opportunities slip away. I'll be writing
( ... )
2. How many languages do you speak? Fluently, 3: English, Telugu, Spanish. Somewhat, 3 others (descending order of knowledge): Hindi, Korean, Japanese.
I'd really like to be able to speak the last three fluently. With Hindi, I think it's just a matter of overcoming my shyness to practice. With Korean, I need to study quite a bit more. With Japanese, a LOT more. =P
3. How did you get involved in the whole Asian pop culture thing?Hehe, I remember hearing somewhere that for every American guy, the gateway to Japanese culture is Dragonball, and for every American girl...Sailor Moon. *blushes (well not really, I'm brown)* I saw it when I was pretty little, spent my teen years hunting for it (since anime was still a tiny seedling in the U.S.), rediscovered it in high school and went from there. Got into Japanese music via X-Japan and Gackt, of all people. LOL. At least I think that's how it happened. I lingered in J-rock land for a long time, but it didn't quite fit, and I certainly wasn't into the fandom. Then KAT-TUN came

It is a sad day when I watch a drama because of the field I'm in.
Nah, I think it's as good a reason as any. Even if nothing else in the show appeals to you, you can at least sit there and make constructive criticism! I never did get round to Code Blue, though. Too busy on a Kame kick. ^_^
But I guess that would presume that any of them had souls left
I think it's part of the condition for joining Johnny's - if you pass the audition, they make you sign away your soul. It would explain a lot about why they put up with some of the more humiliating things they have to do/costumes they have to wear.
he's still just a 23-year-old guy who wants a hot girl with big boobs.Perhaps he just wants to date someone who's a bigger cup size than he is

1) What do you find appealing about Yamapi? God, I've been thinking about this ever since this kick first started. It's really difficult to answer, actually. I think what initially got me into him was the Pin antics in SUMMARY backstage. You know I have a weak spot for the bakas.
It's not just that, though, or even mainly that. It's not even the dancing (although holy hell, he's really good. Like Akanishi good - except he remembers the steps.) I think there's something manly about him that gets me. You know, otoko rashiku. =P The silent, inexpressive nature he has only adds to that impression of him. It's what I find attractive about his acting (or lack thereof) too: even if the stoic nature of his characters is just his own borders on acting inability, in contrast to all the overacting, hyperactive JE boys, it's a bit soothing
