Some is locked, some is not. Most of what I do:

- post Kpop music videos
- talk about my language-learning adventures - French, Spanish, and Korean (including bilingual entries)
- finding a job
- review things: books I'm reading, TV I'm watching, etc.


For people I've friended, there is an intro to me post here.

My fandom journal is ghost_on_paper.

If you want to friend me, you're welcome to leave a comment here! I am really easy, so as long as we have something in common we're probably good.

8 Reasons to Date a White Man

I don't really have anything to say about the implications of this whole thing, being a WW myself, but I did want to note a few of her points, like, oh, all of them ...

2. NOT LOOKING FOR SOMEONE TO TAKE CARE OF THEM

3. ATTEND AND GRADUATE FROM COLLEGE
"... White men have no problem dating educated women with advanced degrees. It is impressive rather than intimidating."

4. AT LEAST ATTEMPT TO MARRY BEFORE MAKING BABIES
"... White men just don’t have children sprinkled all over the world like Black men ..."

5. THEY DON’T GLAMOURIZE IGNORANCE
"... White men have a firmer grasp on what really defines manhood."

7. HAVE THE ABILITY TO LOOK BEYOND YOUR PAST
"... Promiscuous Black men think they deserve to settle down with virgins, and allow past relationships to haunt the present. Not White men. They have no problem turning a hoe into a housewife."

8. DON’T TAKE EVERYTHING AS A CHALLENGE TO THEIR MASCULINITY

WHAT UNIVERSE IS THIS WOMAN LIVING IN

I haven't been writing much lately - either blogging or creatively - but I really want to get back in the habit. Something is holding me back. I think I'm just being too self-conscious and critical, so I'm blocked from even starting anything. So I decided to pick up this meme, which asks for talking about every subject (there are thirty) "in great detail," to kind of ... get the ball rolling. Hopefully it will get something started, or at least relieve this itch to write. I may not write each day consecutively (although I hope to), but - fingers crossed.

( 30-day meme )

The Pioneer Woman's writing style can be so obnoxious. Especially any mention of her husband - it makes me want to bang my head against the wall. For example, in a recent entry about portobello burgers (yum), she writes this:

This is definitely one of those recipes that leaves Marlboro Man and pretty much any self-respecting cowboy in the region scratching his head and wondering what its purpose on earth is. (source)

Well, have you considered that your husband is a complete fucking moron?

ALSO PICKY EATERS UGH. Especially picky eaters based on some ludicrous notion of manliness and man-food. Particularly when they actually refuse to eat food because of this. And her cutesy commentary about it. No, it's not ~quaint~ and ~cute~, it's fucking ridiculous and childish and your husband sucks.

Also, if your husband is actually not the modern-day neanderthal you've made him out to be for the sake of entertainment, perhaps you owe him an apology.

So my little brother likes to jokingly stripper-dance for our entertainment. One of his favorite things to do is what I call "raptor nipples" (a name he took to eagerly). He brings his hands up to his chest and curves his fingers like those little t-rex arms, and then - swiveling his hips all the while - caresses your face with them. He's fifteen. This is his idea of humor.

I'm sorry. I had to share the pain with someone else.

ok i think it's hilarious too

I ALWAYS CRACK UP
