Hello! My name is Katie.
Feel free to add me if you want.
I don't bite.

My profile is always a work in progress because I get bored easily.
Bio is coming later because it's boring to write about myself.

I'll help you with your profile if you like,
or design and code one for you.
I also make avatars.
Just ask.

(people or photos or dramas, etc...)

(I'm long winded as well...XD Or for myself, more aptly called a babbler. XD)
I don't like descriptive sex scenes in my romances either, so I understand where you're coming from. Most of the romances I pick don't have many, or I skip them because it's pointless. I'll just watch porn if that's what I'm looking for. I think I like a sense of danger in my romances, which is why I like the mystery. Agatha Christie is one of my favorites, but my guilty pleasure is Nora Roberts and Nicholas Sparks. Haha
I'll be honest, I swooned all over Darcy, but logically I probably shouldn't. Elizabeth is my favorite character in a book so far, and I could probably read Pride and Prejudice forever if I had to. I don't think I've read very many rewritten fairly tales, but you've got me curious now.
I haven't read any of your favorites, so I'm going to look into them! I love finding new styles to read.
Hmm, my absolute favorites...this is difficult because most of my favorites truly are classic novels. I just enjoy the style of writing more. More recent would be..

The Guardian - Nicholas Sparks (Guilty Pleasure, I regret nothing)
Rose Madder - Stephen King (I'm not actually a Stephen King fan, but it was an interesting story.)
The Language of Flowers - Vanessa Diffenbaugh

I haven't been able to watch Shut Up: FBB either, but I ruined it myself by stumbling onto one of their MVs. XD

Yessum Ma'am. 49 Days is currently untouchable for me. You are right though, one day when I'm in the mood for a tragic romance with a beautiful story, I'll probably end up watching it.

I love thrift stores for that very reason! Where I'm at, we don't have discount book stores, so garage sales and thrift stores are the only places, but they have tons! I also make a trip every summer to a state wide flea market where they let you fill up an entire box of books for an inanely cheep price. ^.^

I think my favorite Poe poem is Spirits Of The Dead. I used to be in Speech (Because I was a nerd like that and was also in Drama Club. I have no regrets. haha) and I still have it memorized from a speech I gave about it. For Shakespeare, I always come right back to Macbeth. In drama class we got to see a wide variety of different performances of it, and it was such a fun experience. A Midsummer Night's Dream is a very close second though!! We actually went to a large theater in a different city to see a play put on by professional stage actors, and it was AWESOME! They had such amazing costumes, were actually hooked up to wires so they could fly around, and I think I respected the play a lot more after that.

We should probably learn how to stop fighting the inevitable, but where's the fun in that?

It's true that hearing someone dies at the end of a drama makes it a lot more difficult to watch it. There's one that I won't touch because of that reason. XD

I used to read a lot more than I do now, but I read a fair share. I ADORE Jane Austen! <3 I can't count the number of times I've read Pride and Prejudice or Sense and Sensibility. Jane Austen, Edgar Allen Poe, and Shakespeare are the only authors (using this term widely XD) I've made sure to have every piece of work from. Normally, I read romance/mysteries. I like fantasy novels, but I don't really like Sci-fi, so I'm wary of the genre.

What's your favorite book? Do you have a drama you can't watch because you know someone dies?

*twitches* The first episode you say? It would have been less tempting if she was in a later one!! Not that that's your fault, but I think I'm going to crack and just watch it.
I never really had a problem with waiting for western TV shows either, now that you mention it. Well, at least I didn't wait for the season to be over. I think they're formatted differently though, so it's easier to handle the wait. I've actually never seen Lost, but so many people love it, that if I didn't have so many dramas to watch, I'd start it now. XD
I think we'll both end up watching it as it airs, because if I crack and end up doing so, I'll make sure to rub it in your face. *innocent look*
Oh! I can't stand the cliffhangers on dramas either! I'll always watch the beginning of the next episode like you do, and sometimes I get so nervous while watching an episode I'll take a peek at the end just to see what happens. I'm one of those people that will read the ending of a book just to see if it's worth it. (Which I know I shouldn't be proud of)XD Most spoilers don't ruin much for me if the story is still good, I'll enjoy the ride and still get tons of surprises along the way. I just usually prefer happy endings.

You really are tempting me! Although, I asked, so it's my fault. It's like being on a diet but going to a bakery just to "look around". >.<; (I was going to make a much darker metaphor, but decided that one was more appropriate.)
I'm glad they're making their own twist though. The Japanese version did that too, so it made it a lot more fun and excited to watch. I also heard Park Shin Hye is making a cameo appearance like Jang Geun Suk did, which should be fun to see.

This might actually be the first drama I end up watching while airing. I know myself well enough that when I break and watch the first episode, it won't be enough. XD So if you hold out, you're stronger willed than me!

Gah! I saw that on your "feed" and I wanted to cry. XD Only Fabulous Boys and Gu Family Book have tempted me so much that I almost started them, but I just know that I will end up regretting it when the whole waiting game comes into play. So is it still good? Even though it's scene for scene? I'm guessing so, since you're even willing to re-watch one episode. I'm pretty excited to see hear the music too, even if it's the same tone, like the Jversion was, it'll be different.

Haha You're the first person who liked Me Too, Flower, so I'll be sure to ransack your list as well. ^.^ There's been a few times where I hated a drama everyone else loved, or the opposite, so be a little careful. XD I'm also an emotional rater, so there's that.

I absolutely HATE waiting to finish a drama! I can't take the suspense and curiosity! I never watch a drama that's currently airing for that very reason. I'd rather sit down knowing that if I pull an all nighter I can see the end, preferably with a bow on top. heh

Yes!! The fact that you loved Me Too, Flower makes me want to hug you right now! :D So many people didn't like it that I have talked to, so I was feeling alone and wondering if my tastes varied too much. XD That's the main reason I enjoyed it too. The female lead of the story wasn't perfect, was fighting to get through each day and trying to put her past behind her and somehow accept the people that hurt and left her back into her life. She was very real, which just stole my heart. Also, even with everything conspiring against their relationship, I never once questioned their love for each other, which was such a nice change. Very unusual for a Kdrama.

Heh, I'm sorry you got trolled too, but selfishly I'm glad it wasn't just me. XD

I'm also going to be starting Nine soon here, so please let me know how you're liking it later on! ^.^

Haha that's the only way to go about it, I'd imagine. What the next drama you're starting? And I saw you just finished Me Too, Flower. How'd you like it?

Also, I'm glad you knew who I was talking about on the forums, and I'm going to take your advice and continue to do so. It was just fun to finally be able to rant and not feel bad. XD

I've been trying to figure out who is the guy in your profile pic, is he some idol or something? Because I don't know if it's the coloring, but I don't seem to recognize him...
