Breakdown of a Fangirl's Thought Process

So, we all know (or are) that one friend that gets overexcited about things. Sometimes, they squeal.

Or sometimes their faces get red so much they start stomping on the floor in an attempt not to scream from how ecstatic they are.


Things a fangirl typically does:
- Write fanfics on her free time
- Daydreams love stories with fictional characters
- Spends a hours looking up shirtless pictures of Jimin from BTS (wait, omg that's probably just me)
- They'll binge watch videos of their favorite bands, shows, or whatever thing they have targeted as their latest obsession. WATCH JUST ONE VIDEO? PSH THATS FOR NOOBS

(as a side note, otakus are basically people who have no life and center their lives around their obsessions- IT DOESN'T HAVE TO SPECIFICALLY BE A FAN OF ANIME)

So here, Mercedes, your suave professor, shall show you what it means to be a fangirl.

1) Being a fangirl doesn't mean that you're crazy, or over obsessed.
It just means that you show your excitement more than other people. Personally, I think that wearing your emotions on your sleeve is actually cute. It shows that you actually care about things, and it'd be kind of endearing to give a fangirl a gift because you know they'd show how much they'd love it.


2) Fangirls aren't born, they are made 0-0
My backstory when it comes to being a fangirl is possibly the same one for most. I really liked this show I was watching and wanted more. In-between seasons, I usually had nothing to watch, so I started looking stuff up. I found an incredible fanfiction by mermaidstear on fanfiction.net and got immediately hooked.
And pretending I got to date my biggest fictional crush ever was the BEST THING IN THE WHOLE UNIVERSE.
I got so hooked, in fact, that I started to write my own on a separate website. I don't think I ever had so much fun than when I started making up my own stories. 

IN OTHER WORDS, US FANGIRLS WILL BE YOUR FUTURE BESTSELLING AUTHORS HAHA.

3) Fangirls know they're fangirls. We're delusional, but not as delusional as you think
I think that fangirls more than anything, crave affection. We're trying to fill that void inside of us with fanfiction, dating sims, and obsessive behavior towards things such as kpop and idols that we may like. Ultimately, we're just lonely. (again, maybe that's just me again).


I hate the fact that alot of people look down on fangirls. Honestly, everyone is different and NO ONE should be brought down for their way of acting. If everyone was calm and composed, life would be boring. In fact, I don't like getting excited about something and the other person doesn't get as excited. Serious people are cool, but come on, SMILE sometimes.

Fangirls that fangirl together, stay together. I think we're generally happier in the face of disaster, so BY DEFAULT WE WILL HAVE A LONGER LIFE SPAN. 

Lmao cx this is just the way I view people who get overexcited, and again, anyone and everyone is entitled to a different perspective.

Japanese

Most of you don't know, but I have been studying Japanese independently for a few months. The other day I was on slideshare and I found a pretty decent FULL textbook called Genki I. It's one of the best, I believe, and I'm able to share it apparently. (Mirai Japanese -an app- is still monumentally better though).

I also found the workbook to go along with it.

They're both really good! I highly recommend these! Especially if you want to watch raw anime, like myself.

The Red Bullet Tour - The LA Club Nokia tickets I didn't get

On April 25th, 2015 (which was just last Saturday) I think my life ended. Well, no, my life has been officially over for two days. Thanks a lot, axs.com.

Seeing as how this is my very first post on this blog, let me explain: There is a kpop band I recently got into, called the Bangtan Boys (BTS for short). Yes, they're the seven beautiful boys shown in the picture below:


You can imagine my excitement when I found out they were coming to the United States, and even better, to Los Angeles, where I happen to live. When I discovered my husband Jungkook -fourth boy, guy in the middle- was coming to my city, I knew it had to be fate bringing us together. In fact, every time I thought about it, I started to squeal. I fangirled, very very hard.

You see, there are four different types of tickets. The prices ranged from $65 to $205. You know what that means? That the best ticket there is costs only $205! I did some investigating, and found out that the VIP ticket was right infront of the stage, just over 200 dollars, and you get to do the hi-touch with all seven band members! I've seen videos, and the idea of touching your idol's hands face to face is surreal. 

I think I underestimated everyone when I went online to buy my tickets, because at exactly 10:04 when I checked (ticket sales started at 10 AM) the ticketing site told me that there were NO SEATS TO BE FOUND. I cried, a lot. Because I went online and guess what? APPARENTLY A FOREIGN KOREAN BAND THAT ISN'T EVEN UBER FAMOUS OR ANYTHING SOLD OUT!!!! Logic? Um, I don't know.

I had saved up money for my VIP ticket, and just like that, RIP to all my hopes and dreams. 


And then I found the worst part: most people that were able to get tickets aren't even fans! They just bulk bought everything so that they could resell tickets at blown up prices because now the fans are desperate since they didn't get tickets to the concert.

I actually saw on twitter that someone bought a VIP ticket for $3000. How does one go from $205 to $3000?! I wasn't sad anymore, I was angry. So the majority of people that got tickets just got them to make money? I mean, I know it happens, but it isn't fair!

I know, I probably just came on here to whine, but who wouldn't be upset?! I lost my chance to meet them. And if one more person says, "There's always next year," one more time, I will bite their ear off.

Well, moving away from my painful Saturday night, I did get a bit of compensation, because the Jungkook sweater that I had ordered on Ebay arrived early, and it my dad showed it to me as I was curled up in my bed, bawling my eyes out. At least something nice happened that day.

If anyone knows anyone who can get me a VIP ticket (0r three if possible) and a reasonable price, please contact me! My email is: kasutirochan@gmail.com.

I really really need this. Imma die. Seriously.
