Much needed distraction.

Seeing K-Pop idols from five feet away rather than through a screen is a quite surreal experience. Today's SBS Inkigayo was a very welcome change of pace.

It started with the pre-recording of Miss A, where we were let in early to see them record a non-live version of "Goodbye, Baby" about three times. Suzy and Fei are so cute and pretty! And Min and Jia have so much swag.

Then after waiting for what seemed like forever, we were finally let in as part of Infinite's fanclub INSPIRIT to go see the rehearsal. While we were waiting in the lobby, all the Boyfriend members came out and we got super excited and started waving at them. They were kind of shy, and just smiled and bowed to us. It was cute. Then Chunji of Teen Top burst out of a door looking adorably flustered and then ran off somewhere. Sometime after that, the rest of Teen Top came out and I was just dying on the spot. I called out to both L.Joe and Changjo and they turned around and smiled at me. Then ZE:A passed us and we tried saying hi to them as well, but they were a little more distracted than Boyfriend and Teen Top because the only ones who really acknowledged us were Kevin and Minwoo, who just kind of nodded and smiled.

After we were finally let back into the venue, we saw a bunch of performances. I'm so happy that I got to see Infinite, Teen Top, ZE:A, MBLAQ, 2NE1, After School, Boyfriend, Mighty Mouth, T-ARA, HyunA, and Miss A live and up close!

Infinite, though, was hands down the best performance of all of them. They were sharp and clean and slick as they always are. I tried getting Hoya's attention, but he was too focused on his performance, which I suppose is understandable. I might have caught eye with Myungsoo at some point, but I'm not really sure. Either way, they totally won me over.

On the way out, I saw Heechul from ZE:A in the bathroom (awkward) and tried to linger outside to wait for him to come out, but then I saw Infinite's Sunggyu appear from no where to hurry towards the rest room. He got really close to me so I waved at him and when he smiled back, I patted him on the shoulder as he passed. I have officially exchanged atoms with an Infinite member, guys!

Things were seriously getting monotonous here in Korea. Class, eat, sleep, maybe drink. It's nice to be excited again. Overall, this was a very good day. I'm still reeling over seeing these stars in real life.

Especially Infinite. Seeing my favorite group in person was something really, really special, something I won't forget for a long time. Those talented, gorgeous boys.

Contrast.

Experiencing relief like I've never experienced it before.

But at the same time, severely disappointed in myself.

What have I turned into?

And now you're twenty.

I don't know where you are, or what life has thrown you.

But I hope you're alright.

Happy birthday, Seth.

Yeah, I had my eyes on you.

Too bad yours are all over the place.

Experience told me it wasn't possible.

Friday evening he proved me wrong.

Sunday night I messed it all up.

I look at myself these days and think.

Who's that?

Somehow, I feel like I've lost a part of me here in Korea.

I still don't know if I want to get it back.

Worst mistake ever.

And it had to be in another country.

I might have just ruined my life.

Literally.
