Shy Em


I'm a Boston-based writer. For a while, this was mostly about my life in South Korea. Then I forgot to post for a long time. Now I'm back.

random post

for your ears

heartfelt lyrics, or Mad Libs set to music?

not to be a cranky old twentysomething about this, but…music these days! Let’s sing random words with unwarranted emotion and seriousness!

“In this California King bed, we’re 10,000 miles apart” (California King Bed - Rihanna)

What, was In this French-door Kenmore refrigeratorrrrr, our love starts to feel cold already taken?

“Brazil, Morocco, London to Ibiza, Straight to LA, New York, Vegas to Africa” (On the Dancefloor - Jennifer Lopez)

Most of these are cities, one is an island, one is a country, one is the continent where that country lies, so consistency is shot to hell. But next time I want to get my drink&dance on in the club, I will for sure go to Africa.

“Judas Juda-a-a Judas Juda-a-a Judas Juda-a-a Judas Gaga” (Judas - Lady Gaga)

Oh Gagz, I would love to wear an ear condom if it would protect me from hearing the same name screeched over and over and over again. 

“Do you ever feel, like a plastic bag…” (Firework - Katy Perry)

Nope. Never. Not even once.
