		<description>I like watching Korean variety because it introduces me to celebs and idols that aren&#039;t typically in the drama&#039;s I watch or the kpop groups I listen to. 

in this case, I&#039;m a little familiar with Hyori and I &lt;3 Joong Ki. Seen several of his dramas ^.^</description>

		<description>You know I&#039;m facing troublesome days and my response to that is to extend myself to the limits to get my little butt over the hump. It will be a while before I feel &#039;secure enough&#039; to let go a bit again and have some fun. My friends whom I&#039;ve known for years irl understand that, but people over the ocean (like you) or people who are new to my life I don&#039;t quite expect to understand that. On the other hand - it&#039;s not like they can&#039;t take a good guess why I&#039;m biting down real hard on anything I can think of and why I&#039;m a little absent. So I&#039;m happy you are understanding about it. </description>

		<description>lol, I leave you be most of the time now adays because you&#039;re too distracted by your million and 1 projects. XD

but sometimes I feel like :bawl: 

Because when nobody seems interested in a conversation, I feel so unloved. :sad: 

XD

Maybe that&#039;s part of the reason all the Koreans I talk to(especially Alex and Se Young) make me go :hearteyes: It&#039;s because they&#039;re always interested in talking to me and having a conversation... Especially Se Young... who woke me up at 7:30 am the other day by calling me on skype while he was taking the train home after work late that night... XD</description>

		<description>^^ Welcome back. I&#039;m going through a rough time right now, so either it&#039;s really quiet around here and I&#039;m eating myself up or I suddenly spew something, burn it to a crisp and have it magically disappear the day after when I&#039;ve made my point lol. It&#039;ll pass.</description>

		<description>:smug: I just seem to say what I intend to say. I would love for a guy to bring me roses instead of being dressed like one xDDD. 

But really, my fandom and I are getting along more these days. He says less dumb things and I remained the same hothead. Now, if he could make me laugh instead of myself trying to make me laugh &lt;i&gt;this would be perfect&lt;/i&gt;.

		<description>Yah, I read about that.  President Obama made a phonecall to that Sandra girl that Rush Limbaugh was being a dick to on his radio show, showing his support.

There&#039;s this one show you might like, Feles, by Rachel Maddows that does a piece on this, I&#039;ll pass it your way if I run into it again, which basically puts forth the idea that, maybe - maybe a little more than just maybe - these folks making all these noises about birth control don&#039;t actually know what it does.

I mean, she has a point when she says that&#039;s what it sounds like because Rush appears to be under the impression that the more sex you have, the more pills you need.  Even _I_ know that&#039;s not how that works.  But how else does he come to such a dumb ass conclusion?

Maybe they should be forced to take Biology 101 again.</description>

		<description>This first article is the initial argument. The article is about a month old. Basically Obama passed a mandate that insurance provide full coverage on birth control, with the exception of religious institutions. (chruches) But the religious folk got a twist in their panties because only a very narrow definition was being used, so even if the owner of the business was religious and against it, they would still be required by law to provide the coverage in their group health plan.  http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2012/feb/3/contraception-mandate-causing-outrage/ 

So, the repubs put the Blunt Amendment attached to a freaking HIGHWAY  FUNDING BILL (because that&#039;s how this screwy nation I live in roll, darn it! XD ). The amendment would have allowed any employer, regardless of religion, to deny coverage put forth in the previous mandate AND any other health coverage specified in the 2010 health care law. (Basically Feles-kun, I&#039;m your employer, you have lung, throat or mouth cancer because of your smoking. I object because of some trumped up reason, therefore, you don&#039;t get coverage for the treatment!...WTF??)

And of course, during the debates, the Repubs and media managed, from what studies i saw on it, to have the women who spoke on the issue to be outnumbered nearly 2 to 1 in favor of men discussing WOMEN&#039;S HEALTH ISSUES! As you see satirized in the video I gave you. 

And some of the pundits got really nasty about it, too. Basically saying that all women who are on bc are sluts and prostitutes and that it&#039;s women&#039;s way of being paid to have sex, sex and more sex. And then you get this wonderful example of scum, Foster Freiss http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XRU13_L76R4&amp;feature=player_embedded what he says will astound you. 

It was a NIGHTMARE, and I&#039;m so unbelievably glad it wasn&#039;t passed, so now I can go work my arse off to pay for my health insurance, which will continue to cover my birth control, and when he comes down to visit me, I can have all the sex I want with my Korean guy. :hoping: 

 Take that, repubs! :mwahaha:</description>

		<description>My obvious goal is to at least survive financially, find myself a better job and finish a freaking degree period without loosing my poor little mind. Some classes I love, some classes i have to take I loath on a level that has no words to really truly describe it. (FUCKING MATH CLASSES! They ruin everything about college. ;.;) 

But the language goal now? KOREAN! XD I want to be fully fluent in the language by 27. I turn 26 in May.</description>
