The Reintroduction of Mimie

WELL long time no see huh?
Where do I begin? Let's seee Hello again! My name is Mimie (Michele) I started this blog when I was a moody, opinionated, fangirl-y teenager and now I'm a moody, opinionated fangirl-y adult woman! Logging on and reading some of my posts for the first time in 4 YEARS was ummm..an experience.
But not all terrible! Looking back I'm not even sure when I decided to stop posting but I think it's most likely because of college/univeristy stuff and I think just kinda fell out love with writing for fun. When you're writing 5 essays a week for marks it kinda sucks the fun outta the whole thing in general. But one night I just randomly thought "hey, I wonder how KrazyaboutKpop is doing?" like my blog was a childhood friend or something so I decided to log on again and to my surpirse she's still here! I was also pleasantly, pleasantly surprised to see commentary on some of my posts because frankly, when I wrote them my blog it was ghost town
Or at least I thought it was. I wholeheartedly thought no one reading this shit but surprisingly some people did! So shoutout to you guys for liking my silly reviews and sharing your thoughts on em. Now that I'm considering coming back to writing (*for fun!! omg it's been so long) I'm thinking about all the dramas I should've reviewed on here ughhhh but I can't really do them now cuz I would have to rewatch them to really get into my thoughts and feelings and I don't have time so I'll just (maybe) start reviewing dramas that are airing now. I'm also thinking about bringing back Best of Kpop because I mean, this IS Krazy About Kpop and it's only right that I do the name justice. Over the years I did sort of lose my self a little bit which was not fun and I had all these things happening and ---nah it's too much I can't jump head first into write novels again, I just got back here. Baby steps, baby steps.
But long story short, I do think that coming on here and writing again and even reading my old posts (which are sooooooo cringey lord hammercy) makes me feel a little more connected to myself. Oh yeah, I read my dream pairings post and like none of them have happened and I wrote that shit like 6 years ago! Kdrama gods, really?
*However* there is a Dream Pairing that I recently discovered that is kinda sorta happening (it's a little complicated) I'm accepting "kinda sortas" now beause beggars can't be chooser :( But I'm also just excited to see these two actors working together. Anyway, more on this on later post. Byeeee

Aaaaand that's it! 2015 really was a good year for kpop. before I started assembling this list I was like "hmm I don't even know if there are more than 10 songs that I really loved" but turns out there were like ALOT of songs. I didn't even realize that I had more faves in 2015 than in 2014. Wow. 

Anyways,  this goes without saying, but Kpop is definitely not what it was when I was 12 years old who was  filled with excitement and curisity for this "new" thing that she had discovered. Obviously I've grown since then (both physically and mentally) and so there were times where I believed that at a certain age I'd grown out of it or find something else to obsess over. Buuuut, 1) I did find new things to appreciate but they were just added to the list 2) its been YEARS and I'm still here. 

Perhaps there might come a time where the kpop-y sound will become too generic and boring for me but my love for K-music is forever. I feel that eternal love when I listen to artists like Standing Egg, 10cm, Phantom, Zitten, Kim Bum Soo, 4Men, Oh Hyuk, Brown Eyed Soul, Clazziquai, Davichi, K.Will, Park Hyo Shin, Zion. T and many others. 
But you know what? every time I think that I might maybe be shifting away from the Kpop world, one of my fave groups releases a single and I'm like

"What is sleep?" "Who is life??" "Are my edges still intact!!??" "Omgggg" I basically turn into a fangirling mess. So yeah, I'm definitely still into Kpop.
