My K-pop Drinking Game~!

What's up interwebs?!

Ok so Sunday was my 19th birthday! And so to celebrate it, yes I did celebrate it despite my previous rant about how awful summer birthdays are and how I don't want to have a birthday any more, I invited over my 4 best friends to stay over and inevitably do a Kpop themed drinking game!

Now I do have one friend who usually doesn't drink much/at all so I did allow for her to just drink Pepsi instead but she decided to join the fun and add Malibu to that and have weak shots so...yay for alcoholism and peer pressure!!

Surprisingly only one of my friends got drunk....

Anyway I have decided to give to you my Kpop mv drinking game~

First of all I decided that it would be fun if the game was specific to the person so I wrote up three different categories; words, actions and sets, as well as having various things that we all would drink to. In the end I decided that it was in fact too complicated and annoying to work out and remember when to drink so I edited it down to just the commonly used words and the group drink things!

Drink if your word is:

• oh
• ah
• oh my god
• yeah
• hey
• ___'s back/ ____ is back
• go
• hello
• here we go
• wow
• ok
• girl/boy
• bad boy/bad girl
• yo
• everybody
• swag
• no
• dance
• party
• 소리질러 (sorijilleo)
• 사랑해 (saranghae)
• 오빠 / 누나 (oppa/noona)
• 입술 (ibsul)
• 어떡해 (otteokhae)
• 머리부터 발끝까지 (meori buteo balkkeut kkaji)

There probably was more but you can add/take out whatever ones you want for your own version! 

So I tore up all these and put it in a hat (well actually my headphone's bag) and everybody pulled out 5 words. Every time a person's word was said during a song they took one drink.

For the group drinks I had a long list and so before we started one of my friends, Linnirs, helped me edit it so we wouldn't be constantly drinking.. Well we had a limited amount of alcohol that we already had started drinking! She also picked out what ones we would do a shot to, you can change it for your game.

Everybody drinks if:

• Lip touch *
• Hip thrust
• Company/producer's name said
• A dance we all can do (and do the dance)
• Bias solo - specific to person
• Group name spelt out
• Aegyo
• Celebrity cameo (as an actor) *
• All members/backup dancers all touching one member

*Take a shot

Options that didn't make the cut for our game:

• year is mentioned
• dubstep breakdown
• abs
• unnecessary model
• bad acting
• rapper says their name
• foetus
• all in black/white
• tight pants
• key change
• money note (drink for the length of the note)
• someone is tied up
• wink
• body roll
• drinking

We actually tried to find a Kpop mv playlist for around the year 2010/2011..the good old days that weren't actually that long ago and when all of us got into Kpop properly! We thought we found one but it actually had recent songs in it as well so that was unfortunate but it was still good! You can find that one here!

I might compile my own playlist of songs from 2010-2011 so if I hopefully complete that I will add it to this post! Provided procrastination doesn't take over..

Edit: Here is my 2010-2011 Kpop playlist~ It still is a working progress but with almost 100 videos I'd say you'd be sorted for the game :')

Lastly..

THANKS GUYS FOR A FUN BIRTHDAY! KPOP MV DRINKING GAME WAS A SUCCESS WOO! Pity we didn't have Soju...which is SO GOOD! If you haven't tried it you should!! Wow it is amazing! Yeah so..

BEEP

Why Summer Birthdays Aren't As Fun As People Think..

Hi! Greetings from the terrible heatwave-infected Ireland that is melting the entire population because we haven't had one in years.. (ok it's only about 25-30 degrees *Celsius* but that's very strange for Irish summers!)

So yes in case you haven't guessed from the title I am blessed with having a birthday in summer! July the 21st 1994 was when the world was first forced to put up with me and so far in my life it has proved to be a good and bad date for a birthday, with the bad outweighing the good in my opinion.

Firstly: The Good

Ehh.. I guess there was a chance for me to ever have school on my birthday! 

As in Ireland primary school ends at the end of June, secondary school ends at the end of May/very start of June unless you have exams which means you get your holidays in mid/late June and in university, well it depends on the university, but they are all finished in May anyway! This year I finished my uni exams on the 21st of May which gave me a 4 month long holiday...which I should have spent working but jobs are really hard to find here unless you have a friend or relation who works in the place and gets the opening for you as soon as it is open! Plus I was supposed to go to China for a month on a scholarship but that all fell apart thanks to lack of organisation on the Chinese university's part.. But yes I got off track there! In conclusion, I never ever had school on my birthday or during my birth month at all!

What else...

Harry Potter always tended to come out around my birthday.. But that series is over now.. And I never was a huge fan. I read all the books, watched all the films but I never was obsessed with it or anything. It was grand. I'm more of a Lord of the Rings/Hobbit nerd really.. 

wow i keep going off topic

Misconceptions: That the weather will be good on your birthday.

No. I live in Ireland. You can never guarantee good weather at any time of the year!

Secondly: The Bad.

You're not in school. That's only bad because you are not guaranteed you will see all your friends and also you don't see the people you are friendly with..  

  And then when you're in uni your friends there generally can't be with you on your birthday as they live in another part of the country or abroad and are working or travelling. So you don't see them for another 2 months, in my case, afterwards and by then there's no point celebrating your birthday! 

The definite main thing that is bad about having a summer birthday is that it is holiday season.

Misconception: "Yay! I get to spend my birthday on holiday!"

No, it means your friends will be away on holiday during your birthday, your parents are away on holiday on your birthday, you are travelling on your birthday, etc. Yes my parents once were on holiday for my birthday! I think it was my 15th birthday? Something like that.. They rang me! Once.. Early in the morning... While I was still in bed... Didn't even get a lie-in on my birthday...

  Yes anyway! I also have had the joy of being stuck in a car for hours on end travelling to our holiday destination AND also had the joy of being stuck in an airport waiting for your delayed plane home on my birthday! Fun times!

In conclusion:

I am not going to have birthdays any more. I don't really like getting things from people without earning it and I don't have a sweet tooth. So I don't think I'll miss my birthday much. I'll just age up when the year changes or pretend to be in my late teens forever!
