I just applied to a shit load of loans and scholarships. I'm exhausted.
I can't tell my parents, though, that if the Parent Loan doesn't go through, we owe St. John's $14,000.

China's up to its old tricks again.
This is a particularly sensitive issue for me. For my 20th century Asia class, I did an entire report on the situation with Xinjiang and how China has been fucking it over in the same fashion as it's been doing to Tibet since 1949. The Uyghurs of the region have very little in common with the Han Chinese; they're more Kazakh/Afghani than anything. The infamous Silk Road runs right through the heart of Xinjiang. The Caucasian mummies found in China were specifically found there, proving their link to the Indo-European groups. And yet, China believes that they belong to them.
The problem the Uyghur people have with the Han Chinese is that they've been fighting for their freedom since the 18th century. They managed to break away in 1944 and had set up their own government when the Communists invaded. Since then, their language is not taught regularly in school. They are deeply Islamic, and China forbids them to grow beards, have their five prayers, and they are allowed only a government approved Koran. They encourage Han Chinese settlement through all sorts of tax breaks, cutting the Uyghur population of the area nearly in half. Any unsettlement, they immediately squash and blame the East Turkistan Movement, an extremist group, for causing an uproar.
Right after 9/11, China came up the plate and lamented about their own woes with Islamic terrorists aka the East Turkistan Movement. However, they fail to mention that Xinjiang is not only where they test their nuclear weapons, but it holds a bigger profit: oil. In a sense, that makes them no worse than us when we invaded Iraq, but it doesn't make it right.
I don't know much about the plight of the Tibetans, but I've heard and read enough to know that their struggle is very similar to the Uyghurs. These are huge regions in China, making up almost half of the country, and the Chinese will never let them go. Not without a fight. This is why China will never engage open war with another super nation: if they divert their attention, not only with they lose Xinjiang and Tibet, but their holding on inner Mongolia (yes, they have a large part of another country- does it surprise you?) and, if they're really not doing well, Taiwan. I doubt Taiwan solely because of the size, but I'm sure they'd try to break away.
So fuck the PRC. They can't give human rights to their own Han Chinese, much less these minority groups who deserve the right to be free. But it won't change unless something changes with that government, and for their sake, I hope it's soon.

Would it be silly to have Bella be upset by a kid dressed up as a vampire during the time Edward left during New Moon? Part of me loves it; the other hates me for even thinking about it.
Just asking, since I'm writing fanfic atm XD

I don't give a shit if Michael Jackson is dead. In fact, I didn't give a shit about Michael Jackson in the first place.
I agree with the girl, Ashley, who I work with: he didn't give a shit about us, so why should we care about him? He made music; that's about it. He was accused of child molestation, but "there was no proof." He acted like a weirdo, but "he had no childhood." I'm not going to say that I'm glad he's dead like my parents feel, since I really don't think like that, but if he had been someone else, things would be very different.
If you really find what I found offensive, whatever- defriend me. If I can't talk about this on my own LJ, then where else? It's a shame he died so young, but quit acting like he's the second coming of Christ.

Description of Charlie Swan:
Charlie is described as having a very private mind, which is why Edward finds it difficult to see his thoughts, possibly implying that Bella's powers are genetic, and that he would have a similar shield ability or some form of resistance if turned into a vampire. Edward can, however, still see some of Charlie's thoughts, though he feels the emotional direction behind his thoughts as opposed to the words. When Bella was in a near-car accident in Twilight/Midnight Sun, Edward saw that Charlie loves and cares for Bella a lot more than he likes to let her know. Also, he enjoys spending time by himself; this, Bella and Edward decided, was passed on to Bella, who was quite the loner herself before meeting Edward and the Cullens. It is also stated that Bella got her clumsiness from Charlie. He has a mustauche.
...
He has a mustauche.
Lol forever.

The Tardis_BigBang is now live!
I posted the advertisement for artists months ago; now, everything is finished!
The
tardis_bigbang was a challenge for both writers and artists alike. Writers wrote a 20,000+ story and artists made artwork for it. I've been lucky enough to participate in it this year and it was fantastic.There are 40+ stories with an incredible amount of art. There's something for everyone! Just click on the picture and it'll link you to the site.
Oh, and don't forget to comment! It's a fandom sin otherwise!

On Wednesday, the tardis_bigbang goes live! So exciting! I'd like to take this time to thank snowandsunshine for all her help with my story! She's amazing :D And, if I ever get going on it, she'll beta the Charlie story for the_gazebo's challenge XD
Started my philosophy class today. I'm going to have to start reading "Dialogues of Plato" eventually, specifically the Apology and Crito. Holy shit, are they boring. I'm so glad my first three journal entries isn't until July 1st.

I'm starting reread "New Moon" for the Charlie challenge over at the_gazebo. And um... I stopped after two pages. Why? Those fucking adjectives SMeyer uses are unbearable. I'm shocked I made it through this the first time without blinking.
Yesterday was Ryan's first birthday party and the day before was Ray's graduation. Needless to say, it's been a crazy few days. So much so, that I fell asleep at 1:00 am, first woke up at 9:00 am, then continued to sleep until 12:00 noon XD The lack of sleep has gotten to me.
Tomorrow I start my summer class- philosophy. I'm actually glad I am taking one; I hate being unoccupied, which I have been all week. Oh- I finished thetardis_bigbang story on Monday, which is why I haven't been really busy.
Going to do laundrey now.

If you are reading this right now, you have more luxury than someone in Iran could ever hope for right now. If you are watching TV or a video on youtube, updating your status on Facebook, Tweeting, or even texting your friend, you are lucky. If you are safe in your home, and were able to sleep last night without the sounds of screaming from the rooftops, you need to know and understand what is happening to people just like you in Iran right now.
They are not the enemy. They are a people whose election has been stolen. For the first time in a long time, a voice for change struck the youth of Iran, just as it did for many people in the United States only seven months ago. Hossein Mousavi gained the support of millions of people in Iran as a Presidential candidate. He stands for progressiveness. He supports good relations with the West, and the rest of the world. He is supported with fervor as he challenges the oppressive regime of Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.
On Friday, millions of people waited for hours in line to vote in Iran's Presidential election. Later that night, as votes came in, Mousavi was alerted that he was winning by a two-thirds margin. Then there was a change. Suddenly, it was Ahmadinejad who had 68% of the vote - in areas which have been firmly against his political party, he overwhelmingly won. Within three hours, millions of votes were supposedly counted - the victor was Ahmadinejad. Immediately fraud was suspected - there was no way he could have won by this great a margin with such oppposition. Since then, reports have been coming in of burned ballots, or in some cases numbers being given without any being counted at all. None of this is confirmed, but what happened next seems to do the trick.
The people of Iran took the streets and rooftops. They shout "Death to the dictator" and "Allah o akbar." They join together to protest. Peacefully. The police attack some, but they stay strong. Riots happen, and the shouting continues all night. Text messaging was disabled, as was satellite, and websites which can spread information such as Twitter, Facebook, Youtube, and the BBC are blocked in the country. At five in the morning, Arabic speaking soldiers (the people of Iran speak Farsi) stormed a university in the capital city of Tehran. While sleeping in their dormitories, five students were killed. Others were wounded. These soldiers are thought to have been brought in by Ahmadinejad from Lebanon. Today, 192 of the university's faculty have resigned in protest.
Mousavi requested that the government allow a peaceful rally to occur this morning - the request was denied. Many thought that it would not happen. Nevertheless, first a few thousand people showed up in the streets of Tehran. At this point, it is estimated that 1 to 2 million people were there. Mousavi spoke on the top of a car. The police stood by. For a few hours, everything was peaceful. Right now, the same cannot be said. Reports of injuries, shootings, and killings are flooding the internet. Twitter has been an invaluable source - those in Iran who still know how to access it are updating regularly with picture evidence. People are being brutally beaten. Tonight will be another night without rest for so many in Iran no older than I am. Tonight there is a Green Revolution.

What would you say Kaylee's hair color is?
I'm saying light brown, but if you have a more specific color, I'd be glad to hear it.

Did I ever tell you guys that I'm terrible as techno-babble? I didn't? Well, I am :(
Btw, I am mention this because I'm currently going oversnowandsunshine's beta corrections and suggestions for my tardis_bigbang story and she suggested that I put in some more techno-babble. Which I'm dutifully doing, but I'm just so bad at it.
If Doctor Who and Star Trek can do it, then so can I :D
