Erica in her mommy outfit. Brian and Jon flaked, but I don’t think they would have been able to handle the hike anyways. Weak.
Breathtaking? I know. And after that, my butt is going to make me look like a Kardashian. I’ve been on the top 3 times now, but this time was the hardest. I guess it was the heat. I still got up without stopping in exactly an hour. The next time I go, I want it to look like this:

It’s funny how a dream can alter the way you perceive something in reality. I really can’t help but be in awe of what our brains are capable of.
After I had the best dream about Miss A’s Min, I kind of love her. LOL. Not really love her. I’m not a psycho. I’m not going to delve into what happened in my dream, but it didn’t create a completely false image of her, only showed me what I’ve already known about her in a different perspective.
She’s cute as hell and has a personality I love; and I say this knowing that I only know what she the side of her she presents on television, which is pretty limited. But that only goes so far. I don’t watch much Korean television, but I remember a segment, on a variety show, that surprised her at home. She had just woken up and had no make up on. Most females would have panicked at the thought of having their makeup less faces broadcast on television, but she shrugged it off saying she didn’t care. It was refreshing.
She’s funny as hell. And doesn’t try too hard to be pretty, not to say she isn’t. You don’t know how annoying it is when girls try so hard to look hot. Just a note to all the girls out there, it’s jarring how obvious it is when you try to look hot. It’s so fake and annoying. Cute girls just need to be themselves and it kind of radiates. So much more attractive when it’s natural and unforced. You’re already hot/cute by presentation, show me a different side of you with your personality.
She’s extremely talented. Have you seen the videos of her when she was like 12? (Video) Damn, she’s killin’ it. And I partly credit her for showing me that marketing is my calling. I saw a random dance video, before she got famous, and uploaded it on youtube, giving her the title of “Lil Jon’s Protege.” (Video) You hear that JYP? I did that. JYP Entertainment saw how well it worked and ran with it. Her marketing team incorporated that in every aspect when they were preparing for her debut.
Anyways, Min if you’re reading this, hollatchoboi. You know what it is.
A little girl was recently left behind at a Chuck E. Chesse in Maryland and her parents didn’t know until they saw her on the 11PM news that night. Her parents are separated and assumed that the other would take her. Apparently, things of this nature aren’t completely uncommon as people started to share their own stories of abandonment:
My older sister didn’t like being forced to walk me home from school my first day of kindergarten so she left me there. It was a teacher from the school next door where [I was supposed to meet her on the corner between the two schools] that helped me after everyone and all the buses had left. He eventually found my home phone number and called my sister and she STILL refused to come get me and sent my brother instead. She got grounded; I gained a lifetime of anxiety and fear of abandonment.

First day of new middle school. The boiler melts down. School is dismissed at mid-day. All the kids left. I was supposed to get a ride with my neighbor, apparently, but nobody told me that- or my neighbor. My older brother just walked home.
So I sat my ass down on the flagpole pedestal in front of the whole school… and cried. I wasn’t even that scared but I was confused and didn’t really know what to do with myself. So I bawled my little eyes out right in time for the news cameras to come along and catch it all and play it later for the evening news. Famous me in my brand new purple izod shirt and matching skirt.
Eventually someone found me, I can’t recall who or how long I was there. I guess when My Grama saw my brother was home and not me she came to find me.

One time I was in Toys R Us, there was a little girl who’d gotten separated from her parent. She took my hand and let me lead her up to the front of the store, no fussing at all, trusting me to help her. Scary thing is, she would have gone with anyone. Someone could have walked her out of the store and into their car and her family might never have seen her again.

I feel like by the time I was 3, my parents had taught me to say my full name, and their full names, so that if something like this happened, I could at least tell the cops who to get ahold of. Isn’t that one of those safety things kids are drilled on?
- callmepatsy
I was always appalled at my old ass students who still didn’t know their full name, where they live, their own phone number, or never figured out that their parents’ names weren’t “mom” and “dad”. It’s like, goddamn son, why does no one in your house think it’s important for you to know???
And by “old”, I mean 11.

I got lost at a state fair when I was a little girl. Luckily, I have a twin sister and the person who found me saw her and asked my parents if they had another little girl. Yay my sister! <3

my parents left me by the side of the highway in labrador. (and when i say highway, its only called that and looks more like a goat path) literally in the middle of nowhere. it was a 3 hours drive to the nearest town.
we were traveling with my brother, his friend, our two dogs. i was the quiet one. we stopped to have lunch and after i went to find a place to pee and when i came back the van was gone. i went farther than i normally would because i had a giant crush on my brothers friend and didn’t want him to accidentally see me peeing
my brothers friend noticed it first, after about 10 minutes. he went to ask me if he could borrow my walkman and there i wasn’t. my brother thought i was like playing a joke on them, and so it was a couple more minutes before they mentioned it to my parents.
i freaked out alot and then started marching down the road after them. and when they finally appeared i yelled at them. i was so mad. i clearly remember screaming “i could have been eaten by bears!!” my parents spent the rest of the summer trying to make it up to me. my brother and his friend made me a “glad you weren’t eaten by bears” card and its turned into a running joke with the family. that was.. like 15 years ago.
i watch my kid like a hawk when we go places, especially when we go in giant family groups. i never want her to know what that feels like.

My mother once forgot about me in sort of the opposite way - my dad had been staying home with me while she went to work, so when she had to take me to daycare she completely forgot that I was in the back and it was only halfway down the highway that I asked from the back seat, “Mum, where’re we goin’?”
I do recall getting lost in the supermarket once - I was only a few aisles away from my Mum, but I was so, so scared for the minute or so that it took for her to realise I wasn’t with her and to come back.

Something similar happened to me:
We were at a youth baseball field and my parents had driven separately and each thought the other had me when they left.
My dad said it was the worst day of his life. :(
The crazy part to me was this: I was a five year-old walking around crying and not a single adult stopped me and asked what was wrong. And I wasn’t in a private area of the park. There were adults and others walking all around me, getting ready to leave as the last game was finishing and it was near sundown. It was a 12 year old player to finally stop and ask me if I needed help. That’s the crazy part. Where the fuck were the adults? Why weren’t they asking a crying child what was wrong? Like…it blows my mind. Luckily, my family was involved with the league, so when I was taken to someone who ran the show, they immediately called my parents and drove me to my parents and the police car outside my house.
I remember that day so specifically, at least all the stuff at the park. Then I remember being in my parents’ arms and who cares about anything after that, right? Nothing like that kind of safety.

Seth Meyers: What do you think of the Republican candidates?
James Carville: I think plenty about them. And I laugh, I laugh. Look at the frontrunner, Mitt Romney. I know Mitt looks like a president, but we don’t always don’t get the job we look right for. If we did, I’d be the KING OF THE SNAKES!
“I’ve tried to be forgiving. And yet. There were times in my life, whole years, when anger got the better of me. Ugliness turned me inside out. There was a certain satisfaction in bitterness. I courted it. It was standing outside, and I invited it in.”

One thing I loved about LiveJournal was that I was able to make Friends Only entires and that’s besides the obvious like their elaborate comments feature.
I’m going to start writing more private entries there, so if you guys want to read it, sign up for a LiveJournal account and add me. If not, I’m not going to lose any sleep over it. If I know you, I’ll add you right away, but if I don’t, I will need to see that you’ve been using your account for a while… I won’t get into why strangers are ok, but people I know guised as anonymous isn’t.
There is a time for everything,
and a season for every activity under the heavens:
a time to be born and a time to die,
a time to plant and a time to uproot,
a time to kill and a time to heal,
a time to tear down and a time to build,
a time to weep and a time to laugh,
a time to mourn and a time to dance,
a time to scatter stones and a time to gather them,
a time to embrace and a time to refrain from embracing,
a time to search and a time to give up,
a time to keep and a time to throw away,
a time to tear and a time to mend,
a time to be silent and a time to speak,
a time to love and a time to hate,
a time for war and a time for peace.

Marla Singer: I got this dress at a thrift store for one dollar.
Narrator: It was worth every penny.
Marla Singer: It’s a bridesmaid’s dress. Someone loved it intensely for one day, and then tossed it. Like a Christmas tree. So special. Then, bam, it’s on the side of the road.
Narrator: Marla… the little scratch on the roof of your mouth that would heal if only you could stop tonguing it, but you can’t.
Tyler Durden: All right, if the applicant is young, tell him he’s too young. Old, too old. Fat, too fat. If the applicant then waits for three days without food, shelter, or encouragement he may then enter and begin his training.
Marla Singer: …Condom is the glass slipper of our generation. You slip one on when you meet a stranger. You dance all night… then you throw it away. The condom, I mean, not the stranger.

Schmidt: Did you see that cleavage? I wanna get my arm stuck down in there, like 127 Hours style.

Spencer: What happens if I say no?
Schmidt: You know what happens? SCHMIDT happens! (hits Spencer)
Spencer: OW, what was on your hand?

Apparently, Jay-Z’s baby with Beyonce won’t be his first and there are a lot of pictures popping up that are allegedly his children:
OH, HELL NAW! THAT IS NOT HIS DAUGHTER, THAT IS HIM MASQUERADING AROUND AS A GIRL!!! Give Beyonce her weave back!
How the hell is he going to deny that this is his child?! Shame on you, Jay-Z! Shame on you! I want to march her right up to him and tell him to take a real good look at this princess and tell me it’s not a mirror. There ain’t NO denying that’s his baby. And they don’t need no DNA test, cause her face IS THE DNA TEST!
Poor girl… First, her father denies her and keeps her existence a secret and then she ends up looking like his twin. Jigga, you are so shady.
And Beyonce… can someone think about Beyonce?!
If this has taught anybody anything, it’s that Beyonce’s gene pool is completely ruined.
(EDIT)
There’s more! This is another girl, compleletly different from the first one, posted above.
Are you serious?! My life is in shambles. I would have thought this was him, until someone pointed out the little ponytail in the back.
It’s official, Jay-Z has 100 problems.
Really quick, pictures from Fall Conference 2011 with Davis Korean Church.
Got my eye on the prize. She acting like she hate it, but…
I get what I want. Always.

Even at our worst, we look better than your ex and fresher than your next!
No, I am not scanning the pages of GQ and passing them off as my own.
Me with Nicole Jung. She can do 83 poses in a minute.
This probably doesn’t help with the inevitable rumors that we’re GQ models.
I KNOW you’re loving my fit. Can’t get enough, baby? I’m wearing a hat I got for free, Hanes crewneck, vintage (from the streets of seoul) windbreakers, and white chucks. Luxury only.
The actions of the UCD campus police are absolutely appalling. And happening only a week after similar events took place at UC Berkeley.
Taken moments before peaceful protestors were pepper-sprayed. (Credit Brian Nguyen)
Campus police (Lt. John Pike) casually pepper spray a group of Occupy Davis students who are sitting on the ground in protest.
UC Davis Police Chief Annette Spicuzza responded to the incident by stating that she is “very proud.”
“Police used the pepper spray after they were surrounded… There was no way out of that circle… They were cutting the officers off from their support. It’s a very volatile situation.”
Please take a look at the first picture above and then the second. Doesn’t seem like he had much trouble getting out to pepper spray them. I understand that photographs and videos can’t necessarily capture the whole story. There very well could have been other protestors, outside of those linking arms, posing a threat to the officers. But why pepper-spray the group that displayed mere civil disobedience? Forcing them them to open their mouth and spraying down their throats? Downright cowards.
This all started when Chancellor Linda Katehi called the police to break up peaceful protests after they set camp and now many are asking for her immediate resignation.
Students are standing outside the building where Chancellor Linda Katehi gave her conference on the matter over two hours ago, waiting for her exit. They’re chanting periodically “We’re not going to harm you, we won’t touch you, we won’t touch your property.“
She just left the building. Hundreds of students sat in silence, forming a path for her.
While I don’t believe Chancellor Katehi is completely blameless, doesn’t it make more sense to go after Lieutenant John Pike and UCD Police Chief Annette Spicuzza for their resignation? Katehi didn’t ask for things to unfold the way they did, whereas Spicuzza made it clear that she stands behind the officer’s actions and said it had to be done. There is no remorse.
This goes beyond the occupy movement. Whether you agree with it or not, such police brutality should never be tolerated. It seems as if they are trying to oppress people from exercising their basic constitutional rights. It’s disheartening to imagine that attending a protest, no matter how peaceful, can potentially escalate to such inhumane brutality.
“First they came for the communists, and I didn’t speak out because I wasn’t a communist.
Then they came for the trade unionists,and I didn’t speak out because I wasn’t a trade unionist.
Then they came for the Jews,and I didn’t speak out because I wasn’t a Jew.
Then they came for me and there was no one left to speak out for me.”
Speak up. These officers are suppose to serve and protect the community, not attack them. The worst part, for me, is that they’ll probably get away with it. They’ll probably get a slap on their wrist and be on their way. I love justice, so I won’t stand for this.
[EDIT]
http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=CZ0t9ez_EGI
While I can’t verify if this is the correct clip, as I am also fasting youtube, it’s supposedly of Chancellor Katehi walking through the protestors after a conference, as mentioned above.
And I can’t help but feel bad for the woman. Setting tents on the Quad is against UCD policy and she asked for the assistance of the campus police only to remedy the situation. The people who chose that course of action to should have to bear the consequences — which does not necessarily point to her, but to the lieutenant and chief of police. But who knows what the chancellor might have said behind closed doors. I’m just waiting come Monday when she addresses the students.
For those of you that don’t know, I’m fasting Facebook, along with Youtube and Twitter. Only until Thanksgiving. And I know it doesn’t seem like a long period of time (I started last Monday), but I don’t think you realize how much of the world is connected to FB. I can’t say I’m WAY more productive with my time than before, but I am spending more time reading the word and (hopefully) developing a habit of it — the primary reason I even started this fast.
Anyways, without further ado, 5 reasons why fasting FB is hard:
1. Virtually every company utilizes FB. I can’t escape it! You don’t know how many times I’ve read… “Read more on our facebook page!” &^%$#$% I can’t do anything without being lead to facebook fan pages these days.
2. Expressing myself. Maybe I’m just deprived, but you don’t have any idea how many times, in the past few days, I’ve told myself an incident that occurred would make an amazing, funny, or thought-provoking status. It’d be so popular and get so many likes! *___*
3. Passing time. It’s so easy to log on and look at what people are doing when you have a few minutes to spare here or there. Which inevitably leads to…
4. Connecting with people! It’s the best way to talk to people. No one uses aim or gchat anymore.
5. When I get emails like this:
Facebook, you whore. Stop teasing me. I’m so currrriousssss…
You can call me Charlie, because I like to laugh.
