hi guys~ ♥
how are you all? did you have a good week?

i have 2 questions! just to talk a little to you and get to know you guys a bit better?

what hobby/interest did you recently get into?
this week i bought a guide with the 200 most common birds in the netherlands and belgium, i already knew a lot of them but these days some very rare and interesting birds are here and i couldn't identify them so now i have a guide and it's been really fun~ i know it sounds like an old people hobby but i find it important to learn more about my surroundings (i have also slowly been trying to learn more about flowers and plants, insects and butterflies for example).

what book are you currently reading OR did you just finish and do you recommend it?
currently reading: More of You: A Confessions of the Heart Stand-Alone Novel by A.L. Jackson
I like reading trash lol, i'm about 1/3.

If you have a goodreads account, maybe we can be friends? I know i ask about this here every once in a while so maybe some of you are already my friend but i wanted to ask anyway ♥

hope you will all have a good weekend ahead of you!

excuse my fail!boat english, i'm so tired

[radowan.livejournal.com]

Hi! My week's been decent, how was yours?

I gotta say that I have very little time for hobbies, BUT! A book that I recently read and really liked was The Vegetarian by Han Kang. Disturbing, but hella interesting. I recommend reading it once.

[radowan.livejournal.com]

I can forgive a lot, but blinks linking to blackpink from an unrelated wikipedia article makes me want to see the world burn.

The girl who's kpop dance cover lessons I've been going to put a clip of the class dancing to Bon Bon Chocolat on her IG

https://instagram.com/p/BwGzOtsh4Y- (https://instagram.com/p/BwGzOtsh4Y-)

Sadly the classes end at the end of this month. There was another kpop class I went to as well but quit after being too overwhelmed bc there was so many people you couldn't see the teacher that well (also I was going thru a rough spot so it affected my mood). I've done more challenging choreos before in another dance school, but it's just fun dancing to kpop lol. This class wasn't too hard and didn't have too many people in it.

[binderwritings.livejournal.com]

I would love to go to a kpop dance class. The only one near me that I know of is I Love Dance and they're all the way in NYC and I think they only have weekday classes. You guys look great and that looks like the perfect class size.

[benihime99.livejournal.com]

Even in crete I couldn't escape kpop

[gathyou.livejournal.com]

Hahaha it's always such a weird feeling when you're enjoying yourself on holidays and suddenly there's kpop playing when you least expect it
Hope you enjoyed Crête ❤

I was supposed to eat Korean bbq with my sisters and mom but my mom isn’t coming into town after all so it will have to wait until next time :(( it’s been about six months since I’ve had k bbq too and I’m so desperate LOL

I had a dream last night that Loona had some event in my town and you got to see them. It was like a fan sign but one person went at a time and instead of signing stuff one member would randomly chat with you. It was my turn and I got so annoyed that Haseul was the member to chat with me LMAO but apparently she spoke English and Japanese in my dream so that was cool.

[gathyou.livejournal.com]

Haseul speaks English in real life too! She studied one year in the US. I would be sooo happy to tchat with her lmao. Take me with you in your next dream so that I can speak to her and you can speak to whoever I was supposed to meet XD

[pepsi-twist9.livejournal.com]

I really want the Surface Studio. My current setup is driving me nuts.
I cannot afford it at the moment because I just signed up for health insurance and opened a savings account. Being a responsible middle class income can be so tiresome. Give me my trust fund ivy league live lol.

I was listening to Exo the other day (I've never been a huge fan of them but I casually listen) and Growl came on. It's actually a really good song? Like better than I remembered it being

[binderwritings.livejournal.com]

I had a dream about exo harmonizing over a hole in the ground which I now think might have been my grave. With their anniversary I've been going through their discography, DMUMT is still so boring to me compared to the other albums but you can hear the growth.

I've been thinking about purchasing CBD oil but does anyone know if it will actually help with stress and anxiety or will it be more of a sleep aid?

[921227.livejournal.com]

My mother has used it for anxiety and it worked for her, it didn't make her particularly tired either. If you can, get like a sample and see how it works for you

[tsubaki874.livejournal.com]

I really wanna try and get back into posting more but it's hard to figure out what isn't already covered, I don't wanna step on anyone's toes..

[snowphone.livejournal.com]

i don't know about other people who post, but i am personally very happy and do not feel that my toes have been stepped on when someone posts something i was gonna post! besides my "who wore it better" posts, because those are basically original content.

I know it's AKP but lol: https://www.allkpop.com/article/2019/04/police-reportedly-find-evidence-of-yoochun-and-hwang-hanas-drug-use

I'm cackling. I can't believe ppl were starting to say they believed him.

[pepsi-twist9.livejournal.com]

But the real question is: did he get that from a senior and feel the pressure to use drugs?

[rosiemotleymind.livejournal.com]

I had the flu last week. Have a sinus infection this week with a cough leftover from the flu and the pollen is SO HIGH my body can’t catch a break. On the plus side I’m literally getting toned abs because I’ve been coughing so much. I’m hoping I’m better before my time of month because being sick plus being on your period? Pretty much prepare my grave.


I need some QUICK getting rid of cough advice because I have plans this weekend and I don’t want to be hacking up a lung. I’m going to a jazz club which hopefully will be fun if not I’m dipping and going to Progress lol. And then brunch the next morning. Ugh my love of brunch is honestly what’s getting me out of my house.

Have a good and stress free weekend Omona!

[shalottlady07.livejournal.com]

Oh no!!! Feel better! Allergies are AWFUL this year.

Do you have a sink that you can put your head in with a towel over? I’ll run hot water and breathe in the steam deeply. That or a hot towel over my face. The steam helps a lot.

[thatchicksaywha.livejournal.com]

y'all my capstone is due EOD today & i'm terrified. wish me luck as i attempt to make sense of this community in just 3000 words

[shalottlady07.livejournal.com]

You can do it!!!! Excited for you. 🤗🤗

[cosmicdaze.livejournal.com]

epik high concert and ktmf for taemin in two weeks, then nct the weekend after that!!!! i’m so glad i have these concerts to look forward to now 😭

[jyusou.livejournal.com]

Just came back from dinner with a friend who just broke up with his gf. It’s all good, we had a good catchup, he seems to be doing as okay as he could be, but when I informed my mom when I got home the conversation led to “why aren’t you dating him? He’s weird like you, you’d make a good couple” and I’m like.....seriously.....mom, he still loves his ex, he’s of a different faith, has a value system I can’t entirely reconcile with. *sigh* I’m gonna be alone til I die.....

[adenar.livejournal.com]

fdlkajghl i've been seeing a few people casually after my breakup (it'll be a while before i'm ready to commit to anything, if i really want to go back to that style of relationship, i'm kind of enjoying semi-polyamory) and my friends are of course loving my hilarious casual adventures but the one person i've told at work is always like SO WHICH ONE DO YOU LIKE BEST. OH YOU'VE MENTIONED THAT ONE AGAIN DO YOU LIKE HIM LIKE LIKE HIM? just! let me be!

[daynr.livejournal.com]

Life restricted to swimming, pilates, and some yoga is just not cutting it for me, but my meniscus isn't healing so apparently no more in between exercise like trx or barre. And the pool takes forever to get to, because city living ... But life without exercise is so squishy physically and emotionally. It's like all drive and ambitious is disappearing, and now I work for myself so I need it!

I finally compensated by kicking everything fun out of my diet, so technically my eating feels good but I am so mentally bored. Where's my diet coke? Hot milk tea? Red wine? I can live with wild rice and quinoa, but a girl needs some vices. At least it seems El Nino is going to let up on us for a bit of spring before summer fog descends ....

[shalottlady07.livejournal.com]

I’ve been working hard to cut out as much extra sugar in my diet as I can... like dessert once, maybe twice a week. What I’ve found that helps is making what I do treat myself to really special... so not just like packaged cookies, but a really good cinnamon roll from a local bakery. And I’ll choose early in the week, so I look forward to it. It sounds kind of sad, but that helps reduce my urge to eat all the sugary things.

That sucks about your meniscus. :( I hope it starts to heal more and you can get back to it.

[blck-ink.livejournal.com]

this week flew by but oh so busy and stressful. good thing is that i have been able to stay calm and sleep quite well this week so i'm really happy about it. i'm hanging out with my girls this weekend so i'm very excited i might have started already with a few drinks

[shalottlady07.livejournal.com]

Have fun this weekend!!!

[lydzi.livejournal.com]

Hello Omona!

I started my new work and it's only mn... next time you see them saying that women like to gossip and/or are prone to pettiness, you'll laugh at their face and send them to me because wow XD It's quite something. Men are just fucking worse.

Anyway, I'm going to listen to the Persona album. Everyone is raving about Dyonisus so going to see that. My classic student ass is happy to see the mythology in their titles :3

[frequency.livejournal.com]

i saw an orthopedist and told him about my ankle/achilles issue. he agreed it sounded like gout, so i got some medication for the next time it flares up. he said if the medication works, then it's pretty much a no-brainer that it's gout. he also said relying on uric acid levels is a "bunch of hmmmm" because levels can come back negative when you have a big swollen joint. aside from that serious business, he's a super cool dude! i like being able to shoot the shit w/ a doctor about anything.

i have a UTI and found out just now that the antibiotic they slapped me on is resistant to it! so they had to call in another. fun.

[skybluecotton.livejournal.com]

Catching up on the new twilight zone right now and I'm actually so freaked out.. Especially the second ep >

[scionofawhisper.livejournal.com]

Recently I can't stop seeing misogyny everywhere and it makes me so mad? Like I can't live my life, lmao.

Like I was watching some DnD online and then one of the monsters they battled was a 'hag', but like... a hag is really just... an ugly women. Like isn't it just a 'monster' cause it's an *ugly* woman? ARGH. Like there is no equivalent for a man. :/

And I play a lot of Japanese mobile games and follow a fair number of Japanese illustrators on twitter but this also means I see a ton of illustrated hyper-sexualized girls - and looking they are 10 - in sexual poses/activities, like all the fucking time. Or just the most ridiculous huge melon floating perky boobs? I'm so fucking tired of this stupid portrayal of women, especially in gaming, anime and illustrations in Japan. It's gross and uncomfortable, especially when the girls look like children. And it's just everywhere... I've stopped following most Japanese illustrators cause they'll retweet gross stuff, or some of what they've 'liked' will appear in my timeline and it's so awful. I don't want to wake up in the morning and be traumatized by that shit. :/ Like I rarely see this with illustrators in the west? Where it just seems the norm to post grossly sexualized stuff and particularly with girls that look like kids in Japan. I mean, I think it was only super recently that porn with minors was banned in Japan.. I know it's not my culture so it feels a bit wrong to say shit, but I just feel so viscerally ill seeing it - and I don't want to fucking see it. I wish I didn't know it existed but I get exposed to it inadvertently all the time. Cause it's everywhere with pop culture in Japan. There are idol groups in Japan where the kids are like 5 years old and perform for old men (I assume their parents just badly need the money).

Like on the DMM site, where one of the most popular browser games - Touken Ranbu is, out of curiosity I clicked on the R18+ games section and man, I regret it. I will never be the same. Ughhhh. Thanks for the trauma! Not. At least I thought Touken Ranbu was tedious and boring as hell and don't get why it's so popular, lmao. So I don't need to visit that site.

In general Japan seems to have a weird obsession with children, like in general, illustrators seem to love portraying children there? Like most Japanese artwork by illustrators has children. It seems to part of their 'kawaii' culture, though at this point, since I've clicked on so many 'cute' game tweets I thought were for young girls and turned out be super sexual gross games for old men (with young girls showing off all their huge breasts and perhaps even getting fucked), that I even associate the word 'kawaii' with sexualizing young girls now. Like everything has been ruined. :P

Though I mean, clearly Japan wasn't always like this, lmao. All their old art is hella weird and freaky and now they have an obsession with cute stuff. :x

When I was younger I used to be really into it and now I wonder how I did, lmao. I even lived in Japan for a year and a half, though it certainly did bother me, but nothing like it does now. I'm too aware now and I can't live mah life cause I feel so angry and disgusted all the time and because of my love of otome games and shit I also run into the disgusting games for guys. :/

Also, I'm a hardcore sex-repulsed asexual, lmao, which probably doesn't help...

I'm just so angry and disgusted all the time... what to do with all this negative energy!? Maybe I need therapy, lol. I was watching an interview with Brie Larson about Room, and she said after hearing all the stories of sexual abuse she became really serious and didn't want to live life like that so she went to therapy.

Also, I read Japanese news to keep up my Japanese ability, so I'm always reading about murders and child abuse and shit. :/ It does not help the way I feel...

Sigh. I've turned into an angry feminist and I don't know what to do. :x

[skybluecotton.livejournal.com]

hey !! sex-repulsed ace here too.
Yeah i totally agree with you about the portrayal of young girls in anime. I remember stopping by Akihabara one time 'cause I (naively) thought i can get anime goods like Cardcaptor Sakura but when I saw the anime pillows with half-dressed teen girls i actually started hyperventilating...
i still love Japan but that experience played a large role in my distancing from anime
i think what you're feeling right now is just a hyper-awareness. it takes some times to re-adjust to living in this new reality with the realization that the world can be a really fucked up place for the marginalized but we march on.

[hozrien.livejournal.com]

So uh, there's a chance I'm going to see TXT in Atlanta for the fun of it because their tickets are so cheap >>.

[rainstormraider.livejournal.com]

I missed BP's Coachella performance!
Has some uploaded it yet?
I live in a world of regrets!

[rembrandt13.livejournal.com]

Hi, I'm new to Omona--that is, I was just admitted to the comm, but I've been avidly reading the posts here for over a year now. I'm primarily a shawol, but think of myself as ARMY reserve as well.

I hope the poor Omonettes currently suffering from ill health feel better soon. Being sick is absolutely no fun at all!

I really enjoy making icons (I think it's an unheralded art form) so please let me know if there's someone/something you want iconified, as I would be happy to make it for you!

[shalottlady07.livejournal.com]

Hi! Welcome fellow shawol! What’s your fav Shinee song/album? I like A-Yo and think the Lucifer album is overlooked. It has a lot of jams. I’d also highly recommend the live albums (3rd, 4th Asia tours in particular) if you haven’t heard them (but I’m sure you have)!

If you’re offering, I’d love a Key icon. 🤗

[shalottlady07.livejournal.com]

We commented at the same time haha. I’m watching too!

[shalottlady07.livejournal.com]

I’m watching Blackpink at Coachella right now and I haven’t seen them perform before. For all their girl power vibe, I find a fair amount of their dances... uncomfortable/anti-girl power.

That being said, they seem to be doing a good job on such a large stage and have decent energy. Their hair looks fabulous haha

[myungung.livejournal.com]

hello omona, hope you're having a good weekend break.

things on the workfront are much better for me now I guess, pacing myself out with proper breaks, even though work wise I'm lagging behind. but it's at least helping me be in a better state.

but I'm just kinda not in the mood, and too tired for dating. I've been texting some people, but I'm also not in the right state to push it further. have also rejected a few friends request to matchmake me, but I guess I really need to figure myself out for now first.

[shalottlady07.livejournal.com]

Glad work is going better!

There’s nothing wrong with that! Don’t feel pressured and do your thing. The time I’ve had to figure myself out has probably saved me from some pretty unhealthy relationships because I’ve learned how to stand up for myself and not take crap. Nothing wrong with doing things on your own for yourself!
