Why a 25+ meme ?

Being a slightly older kpop and kdrama fan I (and a few others with me) always get a little disappointed by the friending memes.
Lots of 12-17ish year olds.  Nothing wrong with being that age (it's wonderful), but someone 25+ or even 35+ can get a bit
discouraged by it. At least that's how it is for me.
I suspect there might be lots of older fans, like me, who feel like that. If you're 25+ - 35+ you really don't have much in common with a
16 year old.That's a fact. It always keeps me from participating in the memes, thinking what's the use ?I'm thinking there might be more fans out there feeling the same way. So therefore the 25+ cut off. Also since this is a 25+ meme please only participate if you're in fact 25 or older !

Also this meme doesn't have a deadline. No need to comment within the first 5 mins after posting (though you're welcome to do so).
There's time zones and I assume most 25+ y.o. have college,work and families to deal with (that pesky real life !)

Please feel free to come back and check for new comments anytime, or for lazy people (like me :p) track this post for new comments ;)

he just speaks so damn fast...and he goes on and on and on until you're dying of laughter...

I really should see Dawn of the Dead. I can't remember the last zombie movie I saw, at least "real" zombie movie. We won't talk about my unhealthy love of the Resident Evil movie franchise. *cough* Wait, Boneshaker as in Cherie Priest? Because OMG. I love her and that series !!! Hmmm. Okay, here are a few off the top of my head: Dearly, Departed by Lia Habel (YA), Newsflesh trilogy by Mira Grant (Adult), Rot & Ruin (#1) & Dust & Decay (#2) by Joanthan Maberry (YA) and Handling the Undead by John Ajvide Lindqvist (adult). I'm a nerd, sorry. :P

I really want to watch Song Joong Ki in something, which is kind of one of the reasons I want to watch SKKS ... Maybe I'll give it a try after RtP ends.

[blue_ant]

I have noticed that I've got that problem, too. LOL

I think it's just I don't get on with hip hop music. Some stuff, I do, but mostly I'm just not interested in it ... But I suppose I can get away with (possibly) liking Big Bang without actually liking their music. If I can like members of SJ and not like their music I can (in theory, if I ever stop being in denial) like Big Bang ....

I was surprised by the variety in kpop, but CNBlue has ruined me for kpop, so I'm content where I'm at.

[blue_ant]

Hahahaha. No, I kind of understand what you mean. I think he's kind of attractive, but IDK. I hope he's good in A Gentlemen's Dignity, because I am DYING for that drama. DYING, I tell you.

LOL! Minhyuk is just cute as a BUTTON. But let me warn you about his character in Heartstrings. He goes wonky and you really hope he'll sort himself out, but ... don't get your hopes up. That being said, I really liked that drama, even if I thought it dragged itself on for two episodes longer than it needed. BUT. I recommend it all the time because it's so sweet that I developed cavities from watching it ;)

[andersenmom.livejournal.com]

Bah. I don't care. The thing is, when people say that, even if they mean to be nice, it wounds writers. I don't think they realize that.

It's hard when people are so... ungrateful. Rude. Whathaveyou. Both? *stepping off my soap box now*

I have a friend that would love your writing! She's all about angst. ^_^

You don't have to really know much about Gundam Wing to read it - maybe check up on the wiki page - because she (he?) does SUCH a good job. I'd give my eyeteeth to write something so wonderful.

We should colaborate on something, you and me. Really.

[blue_ant]

It sucked, and it possibly may have put me off of writing. I mean, I have the inception AU that I posted, but I have this zombie one that (probably) won't be posted (if you're curious about it, I can email it).

I think both, yes. But I guess I'll give her credit for saying something? IDK. Oh well. What's done is done.

I am definitely going to have to find this fic. My sister likes to send me SGA fic, too. LOL. I understand what you mean. I've read a lot of really good fic that makes me realize that I'm only pretending at it. :-/

O RLY. Tell me MORE. :D

[andersenmom.livejournal.com]

EXACTLY! *steps on soap box again* Seriously. I think people need to be careful - I've been writing for almost 30 years, and that sort of comment still will put me off writing. It HURTS. *hugs* Yes, I'd love to read it.

Done is done, true. I think you should keep writing. I really do.

Okay. I found it. It's on ff.net - the first chapter is here. - don't start it until you've got a LOT of time. It's hard to stop reading it. I was just glad I didn't find it until it was done.

I'm not sure there is more, but I think we could have FUN with a collaboration. We'll just have to find something fun to work with. ^_^

Finally someone who kinda understands! My ex-roommate used to just laugh at me and call me crazy. Every time CNBlue was performing on a music show she'd go "Oh look, there's your boyfriend!" while I would growl at him to quit trying to steal my soul with his creepy eyes. *LOL* Like, he is attractive and I actually think his voice might be a little better than Yonghwa's, but I just can't with his eyes! @_@

Wonky Minhyuk? I'm even more intrigued now. I think I might watch it this weekend.

[doobob.livejournal.com]

it was ! *-* Youngsaeng looks so gorgeous <33

I like him of course with every hairstyle, but I like it more when at least his bangs are a bit longer ^^

I need more Youngsaeng icons too...but I need more icons in general..I need to increase my number of icons again^^"

[blue_ant]

I am so ready for my CD, damn it. especially now that apparently we're getting 2 posters, wtf.

Ah! I know what you mean. I like that, too. :D

It doesn't seem like people are making that many new ones, sadly. D:

PS. Totally adding you bc of Youngsaeng fangirling, if that's okay?

[blue_ant]

LOL that's how my friend is about my liking/not-liking TOP (though that's all changed now, with those damn Big Bang feelings). His voice is SO good. When I was watching one of my dvds, before I could tell their voices apart, I was like hot damn when I realized it was Jonghyun singing. Maybe he's not that good and he's just sucked our souls away, leaving us thinking he is ;)

It has to do with, um, romance. But hopefully you'll enjoy the drama as much as I did. :D

[blue_ant]

What's yr email address? (if you don't feel comfortable sharing it publicly, just send me a message via LJ). And, yeah, I think that people can't quite find that happy medium between fangirling a fanfic and being overly critical.

I want to ... we'll have to see. I do write non-fanfic stuff, but it doesn't see the light of day usually.

Thank you and LOL! I've bookmarked it for when I have a lot of time.

Oh, man. I'm totally excited now. :D :D

[butterfly8772.livejournal.com]

*butts in*

I've been meaning to make a few Saengie icons (well not just him...) but I'm too lazy to find any good pics :p. And I assumed people would be making new ones from the cd teaser pics ! And if no one has yet they all suck :p

Maybe I should dust off my PS (not that my icons are pretty or anyting though ...) - *remebers she still has to finish some 80 icons for kpop100 too* Argh :/

[blue_ant]

OMG. Please make some! I have combed through the ss501 comms looking for icons and it is laborious! Or maybe I just want people to make shit for me ;)

Yes, you should. :P #badinfluence

[dazzlingdespair.livejournal.com]

No! I refuse to relinquish my soul to Jonghyun! It is not his for the taking, dammit! XD

Now I'm even more intrigued! Okay, I'm definitely at least starting "Heartstrings" today!

[blue_ant]

Are you SURE??? :P :P

Woo! The first episode is kind of rough getting started, but once it gets going, you'll develop a lot of cavities, because she show is so sweet. And as an aside, my favorite character isn't either of the two leads or Minhyuk, jsyk. I'll tell you who it is once you've gotten into it.

[dazzlingdespair.livejournal.com]

STOP IT! LOL Quit trying to make me like him! XD Actually, as long as he never looked directly at me, I might be okay. hahahaha

I will be working my way downstairs soon. When I watch a drama, I watch it in style: hooking my laptop up to my 46" LED HD tv. XD That thing is my baby. haha

[blue_ant]

He likes to hold light sticks in his mouth. #justsaying :P

Oh, MAN. That is AWESOME ... I just watch it on my computer or my friend's computer, though Hulu Plus is now on the Wii, so I might try that (and I watched BOF on Netflix on my Wii ....).

[dazzlingdespair.livejournal.com]

Okay that one's a little creepy. lol

The thing I discovered about Hulu Plus is that all of the KDramas on Hulu aren't available on anything but the internet on your computer, which is laaaaaaaaaaaaaame. But whatever. I have DramaFever. XD And Netflix. hehe

[blue_ant]

#htmlfail

One last one, then I'll stop.

The kdrama I want to watch that's only on Hulu is on Hulu Plus ... so that made me happy. I really wish that DF was available on the Wii. That would be so perfect.

[butterfly8772.livejournal.com]

Lots of times I find making icons less tiresome than searching for them. Downside is if I do search I have nice ones ... if I don't I'll have ..mine LOL

Young Saeng is bad influence enough on his own :p Those pics need to be iconned ! And possibly a few more if I can be bothered :P It's kind of sad to have an icon post with just 3 icons in it >.<

[dazzlingdespair.livejournal.com]

eeeee I don't know... still creepin' me out. I was like "He has a nice jawline... Oh god now his LIPS are freaking me out! x_X" hahahaha

ahhh What I wouldn't give to be able to get DF through my Samsung Smart Hub, directly on my tv. *sigh*

[blue_ant]

LOL you're allowed. There are certain members of SJ that creep me out so, you know.

I almost bought a Roku for DF reasons, but there are far too many other things I want in life.

[blue_ant]

I used to LOVE making icons, but no longer. I used to love searching for them, too. But ugh, the effort.

He's a great influence :P :P but I know what you mean. And yes, they do. LOL well, 3 icons is better than none?? I say, but the extent of my iconning in recent years is me resizing a picture in LJ ...

[dazzlingdespair.livejournal.com]

Aigoooooo don't even get me started on SJ members that creep me out. @_@

As nice as it would be to not have to hook my laptop up to my tv to enjoy DF, it takes two seconds so I'm totally fine with it. haha
