“You wanna hurt me? Go right ahead if it makes you feel any better. I’m an easy target. Yeah, you’re right, I talk too much. I also listen too much. I could be a cold-hearted cynic like you… but I don’t like to hurt people’s feelings. Well, you think what you want about me; I’m not changing. I like… I like me. My wife likes me. My customers like me. ‘Cause I’m the real article. What you see is what you get.”

“The Dream Act is a simple idea. We’ve educated these kids, who were brought into the U.S. by their parents when they were very young. Why not get something back from them as working, taxpaying adults? Under the act they wouldn’t immediately become citizens but be granted permanent residency if they entered the United States before they were 16 and have lived in the country at least five years. They then would have to graduate from high school and complete either two years of college or two years of military service. Democrats promise to bring the Dream Act to a vote before the end of the year in the lame duck session, but those who oppose it already are busy demonizing the politicians who favor it and the people who would participate in it.”

Laurie Helgoe, Revenge of the Introvert
This is the best single sentence I’ve ever heard or read that I could use to describe my introverted tendencies. This whole article is a fantastic read if you are an introvert, or if you know and love some introverts.

Aww, I love this. I’m such an introvert (-slash-hermit) that the last time I went out, my friend Ian told me it was like seeing a unicorn.

I'm watching Aladdin and finishing up a paper...
and I just realized this movie came out 18 years ago. I’m old.

I’ve been waiting for you for a really long time.
I have friends who are currently active in the South Korean army. And knowing the North have been building nuclear weapons just terrifies me even further.
If North Korea makes one more move the United States and South Korea will wipe Pyongyang off the peninsula in ways Kim Jong-Il only knows in his dreams. The country is bankrupt, their attempts to create nuclear weapons in the past were weak and China isn’t backing them up on this. Judging from Facebook, my friends in South Korea are more interested in their government being clear with the DPPK that stuff like this can’t happen again without real consequences. The amount of artillery on the border of North and South Korea negates the need for nuclear weapons to begin with anyway.

I don't ever think I've ever been as confused as I am now about everything.
