Catching up with the Times

owaranai_natsuIt's almost halfway through 2017 and I generally get reflective around this time, because graduation, but today, my main reason for posting is three-fold.
1) Hi -I've changed my username yet again xD When I started on this platform, I was known as everlasting_dream. On LJ, I was dark3princess --> lastingdreams8 (lastingdream on other platforms where that wasn't taken) and owaranai_natsu was my fanfic LJ page. For some reason, on the night that I decided I would pay for the rename token, I decided I was going to be owaranai_natsu here. I think this is in part that my email is such and "endless summer" is as equally me as "lastingdreams" is. Plus, it's one way of deviating from LJ, which I don't think I'll return to due to the recent changes in their ownership and policies.
Confusingly (or not), I did make my fanfic page here lastingdreams, which matches my AOA name. Even more confusing is my fanfic.net name is still owaranai.natsu, but I don't use that platform anymore. So whatever. I'm all of those names -it's still me ;)
2) I've been going through my old posts and not only because of the importing from LJ to DW, but also because of the change in imageshack's services, most of my posts are now littered with X's where the images were :( They emailed me at the end of last year warning me that they'd no longer host non-paying users' images, but I didn't pay too much attention to that email until it was too late xD I have some images saved and some others hosted on Photobucket, but it's going to be a huge undertaking/pain if I ever decide to be OCD and reupload everything and find its place, if I even have those original images to begin with. A lot of them were screen captures of dramas and stuff, so it's not overly important, but still irks me greatly. I big chunk of my posts were drama/movie related, so now it's just text and without photo-context, it's kind of hard to understand. I don't imagine many new friends will browse through old posts, but I'm the type of person who would, so bleh :(
The other thing that's frustrating is that some of my Youtube links are all weird. Some are deleted, of course, but some links embedded multiple times throughout entries. For example, I uploaded a video from Dragon*con and it popped up on several posts that had Youtube videos, but was not the original Youtube video I had embeded. I don't know -there's a lot of cleaning up that I'd want to do. It's 11 years of posts though...do I want to do that? lol xD
3) I've finally caught the EXO bug. I mean, I liked their debut song "What is Love" and had two of their other songs on my iPod (Angel and Miracles in December), but didn't bother to know each of their names and such until now. I don't know how this ended up on my feed, but I really enjoy dance practice videos and the lighting caught my attention. Then the first beats started and something about Baekhyun's hair as it lifted off his head when he danced hooked me. Don't ask my why that of all things, but I'm trying to catch up on their activities. I don't know any of their songs within albums, but I know most of their title songs.
I've always enjoyed D.O.'s acting, but his voice is also excellent. Thus my new icon! I also really like Chanyeol, Suho, and Chen.
For some reason, SM didn't want to let people embed the original video, so here's the best I could find to show you :)
