I want to learn a new language... Japanese or Korean. I watch more asian tv than american tv and it would be nice to know what they are saying. I have to wait for shows to be subbed by others. I would like to become proficient enough to become a subber one day. Also, in my fantasy life, I will be traveling to Korea or Japan.

I asked around and found that people feel Japanese is easy to speak, but hard to read. Korean is easy to read, but hard to pronounce. Most of the shows I watch are Korean, so I think I am going to learn that language first. I ordered some highly rated texts from Amazon, but I don't have them yet. I found a few universities with study helps so I have high hopes that it will go well. I've already learned Hangul, the Korean alphabet, from a cool website.

I ordered a few cookbooks with authentic Korean and Japanese recipes. I have always been fascinated with other cultures. I look forward to treating my family and friends to some cool new dishes..

Speaking of my family and friends, they are praying for me. I spend much of my time online and they miss me. I have brought several of them over to my side.. the dark side. We will watch movies, dramas, concerts, listen to music, etc. It is nice having friends to share your obsessions with.

One of my friends [who doesn't know how deep the rabbit hole goes] saw my laptop yesterday. I have a picture of JaeJoong (from DBSK) as my desktop. She was, "Oh... who is that."

"He is a member of this band." I smile as I point at the computer. Their newest single is coming out of the speakers. I had the Amazon website open and she saw my cart full of Korean books.

"Oh, are you still into Korean things?" Looking down her nose at me.

"Yeah." I say as I shut the lid of the laptop. She will never understand.
