Seoul Searching: Currently: Unimpressed with you... →
seoul-searching:
Last night was the first time in a long time I have felt completely shocked and somewhat disgusted with Korea by Korea. It hit me right across the face that Korea is a LONG way away from making me feel like I can stay here long term and call this place home, without occasionally being reminded…
A very powerful, personal post.
I had a few eye clenching moments reading...
New bello waiter
Is so handsome. Hazel eyes, floppy hair.
Making me feel like it’s 1999.
Sigh.
seouliloquy replied to your post: Facebook boyfriend banter…
I might have to shoot you if you do aha ^^
Please do. Please.
Facebook boyfriend banter...
If it ever comes to it, and I have a boabie to call my own, please… please let me not be the fanny making posts about how much I love my boyfriend.
Spoiled by the bf all day! New phone + glass of wine + boyfriend + movie on the couch = a great day and a fantastic boyfriend :) i love him!!!
The multiple exclamation marks are enough to get me started, not to mention the fact that unless...
WilnaInKorea: CLub Fail →
wilnainkorea:
Omg, im so bummed because I’m home and it’s only 3am. Went out to meet some friends for dinner and we ended chatting about all kinds of things and didn’t watch the time properly. Because of the lack of time awareness my friend and I ended up being too late to get into Club Answer after we already…
Seems like we weren’t the only ones with Club Failage last night! What...
True story
Reading for Fun: What drama! What adventure! Oh, there is no pleasure equal to that of reading the miracle of the novel-to experience such joys and sorrows at the hands of a paperback is truly one of the great pleasures this life has to offer. If I could do nothing but read for the rest of my life, truly, I would be content.
Reading for Class: I DON'T CARE ABOUT THESE WORDS!

The latest post from my Wordpress blog:
Today the Guardian reported that the French have said adieu to Mademoiselle, deeming it “an unnecessary and unjustified reference to women’s marital status” which “should be phased out from official forms.”
The decision follows a campaign by French feminist groups, including Osez le féminisme, whose anti-rape campaign I was involved...
disastergirrl replied to your photo: What a badass - RIP.
Who is she? I recognise her… :S
She’s Marie Colvin, an American journalist who died when a media tent was shelled in Syria yesterday. She lost her eye to shrapnel in Sri Lanka and has long been lauded, envied and applauded by her peers for being, technically, a badass. Her antics include commandeering boats, which gave her...
Just finished reading The Adventures of Augie...
Everyone should read this book. I’m blown away.
alexx-in-wonderland replied to your post: Dreams
lol, crazy like the dream i had where i lived in a small mountain town, ostracized by my soccer team & went home to the projects to find it was because they were homophobic & my moms were elderly Caucasian women & i slept in a cot in the living room
I have never heard anything more lunatic than this! 아싸!

Sequined Strawberries
exactly! I just think she isn’t as eloquent when putting it in words~ Which is part of her charm ^^
I also think that coming from her culture and background it’s fairly normal for someone her age to feel it is the womans job to look good and take care of their appearance….
I haven’t seen the original posts of this, and probably won’t...
Dreams
I had a dream in the early hours of this morning that I went clubbing with a collection of you - the tumblr ladies. In the swanky loos at the club, I was chatting away to Seouliloquy while applying eyeliner. Laughing and cahooing as we were, I didn’t realise I had succeeded in drawing two huge panda eyes on me until it was too late. I washed all of my make-up off and started the whole...
alexx-in-wonderland replied to your photo: More on that largely unfair comment about men…
really? REALLY?? AND pick you up?? wtf, i can’t believe the foolery you have been witnessing/has been forced upon you. furthermore, that kind of physical contact is not socially acceptable here either. how does it get to that point in a demographic?
Yeap, just lift me up from behind. I’ve...
Men...
Are twats.
More to follow.
Final show tonight...
화이팅!
Skinnylad
There is a Skinnylad. He’s a bartender in my favourite bar round my Dong. He’s older and if I was being objective, I’d say he isn’t knickers down good looking, but he has something. My American pal calls it swag, once again making me wish I could employ American lingo with the same gusto (I tried out ‘badass’ once and felt very silly. I even feel a little...

Common misconceptions about and questions asked of misandry, misogyny, and feminism.
1. You feminists just hate men!
I have never met a woman, feminist or not, who hates men. I have met women who fear men or are uncomfortable around men, but never one who hates them. If they exist, and I have…
A little shit.
I’m punning here, as Idol just sent me a kakao poo as a Valentines. Thanks Idol.
Spin Classes
Since I don’t have any boabie at the minute, I’m going to settle for asking bothersome questions about exercise and the like.
Starting with…
Anyone know where there are Spin Classes in Seoul?
:D
6-3
I have a deep, deep affection for this particular class. The girls are strong and gracious, the boys witty and polite in their own syncopated way.
We are watching a movie today, and I moved to an empty(ish) table to read. 3 and now 4 of my boys have come to sit beside me and toss the occasional comment my way every now and then, showcasing their English.
I really wish this was the norm, and...
Numblr
I have no stories!
I’m broke until the 17th. No plans to go out, because no money to go out. I lived like a rockstar in Paris and Dublin and now I can’t even live excessively in terms of buying kimbap on the way home or a cheeky can of Cass.
I’m not necessarily lamenting the days when I first arrived and was subjected to boobi-boobi, free drinks and cock-duelling, but come...
Finally got round to subjecting myself to Girls'...
Jesus.
Back in the ROK!
Here’s to a new chapter! Yeoooo!

Once again, within minutes, the tumblr ladies prove themselves to be a hotbed of community and support. So, so wonderful ^^

In my pyjamas, in Ireland, weeping like a 5 year...
I quit the band. Being home is throwing some things into the spotlight that I need to deal with this year and so, without proper means of phoning our band leader (and very good friend), I emailed to quit. Just now.
It feels like I’ve broken up with someone. I can’t describe how lousy I feel. :(
Paris to Baile atha Cliath
Just arrived in Dublin and have to wait for 2 hours for my friend to finish work. Maybe it’s the recession talking, but a city I’m rather fond of is just annoying me with its thronging crowds and lack of decent coffee shops. Also, i feel like I’m going to be pick-pocketed or mugged or knifed at any second. I want to eat macaroons and rare steak forever, being served by hot...
Montmartre
Is amazing and I want to have sex with everyone, especially the lanky waiter who served me my rare steak… Ugh.
Garçon!
Paris
Reminded once more that the penalty for speaking English and being largely understood anywhere you go, is that you sound like an absolute plonker in the process.
Onward! Cheese and wine - tres bien!
Additionally...
Irish people, on the whole, look really, really Irish.
안incognito.
Tramps...
Who are all these people who look fabulous while travelling cross-continent!? Or travelling at all for that matter.
Boo. Hiss. Grumble.
This is not goodbye...
Heading home tonight for 3 weeks of frolicking about the green fields of home, sans dog, and I’m Paris bound on Sunday for a few days.
Feels absolutely unreal, verging on impossible. My skull is caving in a little at the thought of this weekend without the option of a Norebang… most distressing.
It’s altogether too soon. It feels like no time since I arrived in Korea and...
