Current Fanfiction Feels

So I wouldn't usually write about fanfictions, but a friend of mine recently started sending me links to read stories for kaisoo (EXO). While that is pretty common, since I read fanfictions a lot and we usually send stories back and forth, this one she sent REALLY got to me.

At first when she told me that she had a kaisoo story she wanted me to read, I thought "sure, I've read some of the one's she sent me before and I have nothing else to do, so why not". I was horribly mistaken. This piece of work is one of the BEST things I have ever read in my entire life. Even better written then the whole of some books I've read before. I was laughing (not very often) and crying (A LOT) through the entire thing.

It is a three part story that will take a person half an hour to an hour to read if you read slow to take things in, like I do. Even if you don't like EXO or even know who they are, it is still an amazing story that I think is worth reading. Though major warning...It is horribly tragic and angsty at times. I described the story to my friend, after reading it, as The Notebook (the movie/book), but with an even sadder ending.

I would seriously recommend this to anyone to read becuase even if it's horribly sad, it is written so well that I can't explain it. Writing that can make a reader feel the emotions of the situation and pull a reading into the story should be put out there in the world for everyone to read. I'm really passionate about reading and this piece of work here is just too amazing to look over and not write about.

The title of the piece is Anterograde Tomorrow 
Summery:  "Kyungsoo is stuck in the hours while Jongin begs the seconds, because time stops for someone who can't remember and runs from someone who can't miss the last train home."

READ IT HERE -> KAISOO

P.S.
- Cat, thank you for showing me this fanfic even though I spent a half an hour crying over it in my house by myself. My cat thought I went crazy and was rubbing all over my face because I was 'crying for no reason'.

Metrocon 2014

So I ended up going to Metrocon with my some of  my best friends, Charlee and Brianne, this past Saturday.
For the first time in years (since we have been cosplaying and going to conventions with each other for almost 8-9 years) we did a group cosplay for a gender bent Kuroko's Basketball!

Charlee went as Kuroko, I went as Murasakibara, and Brianne went as Aomine

Sadly...we didn't know that there was a Kuroko meetup on Sunday for pictures and whatnot, and we only went on Saturday, so we missed it ;-;

We were stopped every other minute for pictures, and it was really fun, since we never really got that much attention before! lol Plus our heights were perfect because I'm seriously waaay taller than Charlee, so having me next to her for pictures was great~

I only ended up taking two pictures this time of other cosplayers because for the most part I was busy running around with my group looking in the dealer room or going to panels.

There were a ton of amazing Free! cosplays walking around and this Brock was just to awesome to not take a picture of :3

I ended up buying myself only one kpop album this time, but my friend bought me one for a late birthday present so I left the convention with two anyways (since I always have to buy them at conventions when I see them). Then Charlee bought me a Moomin, that I have exactly one year to pay her back for, and I named him Renaldo (don't ask why...I just name things with the first name that pops in my head).

We ended up going to the Team Rocket/Hunger games Running Man panel which was a whole ton of fun! Our team ended up winning in the end and we got chocolate for it. Oh, I also helped my team out with one random question that we had to answer, which was what are the colors and corresponding names of all the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (since that show was my childhood, I knew all four right off the top of my head).

~Bonus pictures from me being bored~

P.S.

My wig was a total pain in the butt because it was actually too small for my head so it was hardcore clipped down to my wig cap and hair so it wouldn't fall off all day. That and we didn't jell my bangs down so I had to keep rearranging them all day. Besides that, nothing else was really wrong and it was the most comfortable cosplay I have ever done. <3

Block B Concert in Miami~

So from 6/26-6/29 I was in Miami for the Block B concert that was being held on the 27th at the Jackie Gleason Theater. I traveled with three other friends who also love Block B and we met up with even more people once we got into Miami; it was about a five hour trip, but sooooo worth it. Anyways, this is going to be a recap of the event, a talk about the fans, and the experience of getting a high-tough (high five) with all the members.

Before the concert we all spent an hour getting our makeup and hair done because we knew there was a chance that we were going to meet our biases. I didn't do much with my clothes though; just a pink tank top and some jean shorts.

Anyways~ onto the actual story! lol

We arrived to the theater the second the doors opened, but there was a line basically around the building

that we had to get in first before entering. Which ended up being fine since we made friends with a bunch of girls in line with us.
Personally I only bought two items that totaled 60 dollars; which, let me tell you, is a total rip off, but I really wanted them. The hat was $45 and the pins were $15. There were also light sticks, but they were the plain clear ones and were about as much as the real ones that you can buy off of ebay (the black and yellow ones), so I didn't buy one.

The venue itself was HORRIBLY organized. Basically only ONE staff member out of all of the staff knew where the seats were, so we were thrown in every direction possible before someone finally pointed out correctly where our seats were. We made it to our seats just in time to get settled and look at our surroundings (ten minutes or so) before the curtains opened to Block B's Very Good.

We weren't allowed to take videos or pictures during the concert, which wouldn't have stopped me, except that one of the Korean staff members was sitting behind me the entire time *sigh*
There were four breaks taken during the concert for the members to ask questions and to participate. The first break was a Q&A with the host of the show, who could not host shit if her life depended on it (the translator ended up hosting the whole thing, basically, after the first break because the host had no idea what she was doing). The second break involved the members picking seat numbers out of a box to have them sit on stage while Block B sung to them and gave them roses. The third break involved the members picking new seat numbers for those attendees to come up on stage and play a game with them. They ended up playing a type of charades with Taeil, Jaehyo, and Bbomb on one team and Ukwon, Kyung, and P.O on the other team (Zico was the judge). Both teams came up with ridiculous names, Jaehyo's team was 'oh boy' and Ukwon's team was 'turned up'. The fourth break involved the members asking each other questions about random things to make the fans happy.

An example that really happened (words may be a little off):
P.O: Zico, why are your lips so sexy?
Zico: To kiss my future girl with
another one was:
Zico: Would you date an American girl?
Kyung: HELL YEAH HELL YEAH HELL YEAH

At the end of the concert they came back out a number of times to do extras. They sung two/three more songs, came out to take a picture with all the fans in the background, and then Jaehyo had to do his punishment from 5MBC that he got from getting last place in the episode before leaving South Korea.

The only disappointing thing for me the whole time was where we were sitting. I personally liked where I was at first because we were the first row on the second floor/balcony thing, so no one was in front of us and we could stand or sit the whole time and still see them (I stood the whole time). But, the only two members that actually looked up and acknowledged the top floor were Kyung and Bbomb. I'm not complaining about those two, but it would have been cool if the other members could have acknowledged us as well.

At the end of the concert everyone rushed down to the lobby to get in line to high five the boys (who were personally high-fiving everyone who went that night if they wanted to get in line and wait that long. I personally don't really remember Jaehyo's and P.O's high five, but I remember the others. The most memorable thing happened to me durring that time as well. I had wanted to say Saranghae (I love you) to Jaehyo since he is my bias, but I got too scared to and opted out as I high fived him (let me tell you...He is SO handsome in person..his eyes and face are just...perfect). There was a male fan in front of me so the boys sadly payed more attention to him until the last two in line (Kyung and Taeil). Kyung actually grabbed my hand in leaned in while smiling at me which threw me off by a lot because I was so shocked. Also, I don't care what anyone else says, Kyung is reallly good looking in person; I don't understand why people say he is ugly!? Then Taeil was up and he almost didn't high five me because he was talking to the man in front of me, but then he turned around real fast and leaned back to high five me because I was already almost passed him. Then he kind of kept his hand on mine and let it slide off as I walked instead of pulling away for the next person which set me on edge again because I wasn't expecting it.

Here's a very bad picture where you can make out Zico (blonde hair and white shirt behind the bald guy) in the background as the start of the high fives:

The only thing I missed the whole night was that after the whole line of fans had gone through, all the members of Block B left the building through he crowd to get onto their bus. That would have DEFINITELY been a great experience but I'm not too sad that I missed it since I got to high five them and all. ALSO, their hands are all SUPER soft, except for Ukwon's lol. His hands were still soft, but rougher than the other members. I have to say all of them had softer hands than a lot of girl friends I have...which is impressive. 

The boys were all super sincere and happy the whole night. You could tell that they were hot and tired from dancing and singing all night but they never let their smiles falter as the lines of fans went through. 

The fans were also surprisingly all really nice for the most part. since it was organized to so bad at the beginning, more fans were helping each other find the right seats than the staff was, and no one was rude when you asked them for help. Everyone I talked to was happy to talk back about Block B and other kpop groups. The BBC's are seriously one of the best fan-bases that I had read about online, but in person it is really true.

OVERALL this was one of THE best concerts I have ever been to in my life. It would have been nice to have been longer (it was about an hour and a half long), but still super awesome! I will definitely be going to their next concert in America whenever it happens and wherever it is!

Extra video footage a friend of mine took while going through the High Touch with Block B. She put another friend's phone in her pants and recorded her going through, which is why the quality isn't that good, but it was the best she could do at the time:

The line went: Zico, Bbomb, P.O, Ukwon, Jaehyo, Kyung, Taeil~
