LOL I'll have to see the movie then. My opinion on it will probably change lol, since I hated Lovely Complex at first but now it's one of my favorite animes.
I was only half paying attention when my friend showed me the first two seasons. But I got the movie and it's hilarious, and I'm starting to rewatch the show. It's actually pretty funny, I'm discovering.
My friends and I would sometimes say "Pastaaa" in class. LOL.
LOL I can see why. I watched a couple episodes of Hetalia but I thought it was boring so I quit. xD
If I had watched it though I'd be so confused in whap right now. I'd subconsciously be making references to Hetalia in WHAP and Mrs. liebson would look at me like I'm crazy or stupid. XDDDD
I think that might be the case with Attyat and Eric too lol. They just know everything before hand so even if they miss a day of reading they aren't at a loss. xD
I don't even know what country is where though so I had so many stupid moments in WHAP LOL.
But they care about superficial stuff like legacies and class rank though.
I may have no chance at the colleges I'm applying to just because I take band. Seriously. I have to take 4+ APs online (plus the 2 APs at school and my honors class) JUST to have the same grade as someone who took a regular version of a class for one semester and only took the offered honors/AP classes at the school... just because of band. -___- And taking 4+ APs would be what I'd have to do to be ranked second in my class.
Dear colleges, I refuse to spend thousands and thousands upon thousands of dollars to take online APs while others don't. Dear colleges, it irks me that people who pursue their passions must work 10x as hard as one who decides to take the easy way out, and still have the slacker win.
It's a sport, but I also suck at it LOL. And baw I doubt it. xD From what i've noticed most people on TheO don't even come on daily. There is only a select few; and even among the select few that come on daily I probably come online most out of all of them.
and kpop idols.... like snsd. that 800 calorie diet. plus yoona's abs... I didn't even know that girls had abs before I saw that article lol
If this helps in any way: colleges don't care about appearances~ :D
Psst, I'll also tell you another secret- all the active members of theO probably sit down in front of a computer all day every day. xD True, golf isn't an active sport, but hey- it's a sport. ^^
Bah, only models' bellies don't stick out. That's cause they're forced to starve every day.
No I think it's fairly accurate. xD
EXACTLY. I mean, I know she's really short but still. 90 pounds is not fat. -____-; It's not even chubby. That's skinny, or regular at most.
lolno I never exercise. If I'm sure of one thing, it's that I know that most of this is fat, not muscle. xD I can't even run a mile without collapsing and fainting because I never exercise. I literally sit down in front of a computer all day every day practically. I'm in golf, but that's not really a sport that requires fitness so yeah. I don't have muscle. xD LOL if you're going along the lines of physics, then I'll have to judge the definition of fat based on appearance not weight. If we were to create a capsule in outerspace with layers of varying gravity, then of course I'd weigh different. XD
So let me reword this. I'm not fat because I'm heavy. I'm fat because my face is 1.5 times as big as most other Korean girls, my thighs are huge and my belly sticks out LOL.
Nah, that's what everyone thinks. Because everyone thinks that, it is very inaccurate. xD
Oh yea! I've heard of that incident about IU. Compared to many Americans, she's probably underweight! Koreans are so.....bah. Don't worry, though. 130 pounds is fine! I mean, I bet it's more muscle than fat. Weight is not an accurate measurement of "fat". Just, the amount of gravity pulling on your body. I can get more scientific if you want, but I'm guessing you don't. :PP
Hahahaa, just come to China~! I'll take you with me! :3
But it's a fairly accurate estimate imo. xDD .... Well actually I admit it is probably a little exaggerated.
i'm probably.... 60th percentile in terms of intelligence all over the world of people my age. Not smart, not overly idiotic hah.
Haha I will. xD
....LOLWUT. In Korea everyone's like, 95 pounds. >___< On akp there was this article about IU being too fat and there was this picture of her perfectly normal and she was under 100 pounds and I was like HAH THAT IS NOT FAT U NETIZENS. -shakes fist-
My mom is always like "I was as tall as you when I was your age and I was only 97 pounds; I was the most beautiful girl in the school. You are 130 pounds right now. U TOO FAT"
It's not just the idols who are skinny. It's everybody. That I know at least. o___O Apparently if you're too fat you're a 왕따
If only fat was considered beautiful in Korea..... xD
It depends. Sometimes they take me a while but some shoujo I read 40 page chapters in five minutes.
I'm really slow at reading textbooks and other books, though.
Oh haha I see. That makes sense.
LOL I wish I was like you. xD I go on the computer and end up doing my homework at like 12 midnight, or the morning of. I think the reason I'm not as smart as I could be is because after mid-7th grade, I just stopped reading (I used to read like 8 books daily before that lolol)
omg for math once, I finished my homework but it was really late.. like 1 or something and so I was spacing out and completely forgot to put it in my folder. I went to school, realized that I forgot my homework (which was due) and re-finished all of the homework in 10 minutes during Mrs. Liebson's XD
/beastly math skills when faced with life-death situation
Well I would get addicted to it as a kid. Lol. My mom pretty much trusts me now, and I'm good enough at managing my time without my parents telling me to study or whatever.
Ah LOL. I played in 4th grade, but all I did was feed my pets. And purposely donate all of my money so that I could go to the soup kitchen... o3o /shot'd
I went back to neo in 8th grade and started going on boards/making layouts/learning CSS/running websites/using photoshop (which my cousin got for me) etc fufufufu. xD My dad made me quit though.
For every person worse than me, there are at least 10 people better than me though. I used to be so narcissistic and be like "bawww I'm such a genius aww yeaahhhh" 8) but I think the overachievers in close proximity of me have sort of killed the semblance of self esteem I had left LOL. xD
Who is Gabriel Iglesias? And i haven't met an Asian parent who doesn't reprimand their kid but.... they probably exist out there somewhere. XD And no seriously dood, in Korea, my relatives are like OMG U SO UGLY AND FAT and so I'm not going to go visit them until I lose 20 pounds at least. XD
You just need more confidence in yourself! Really, all that matters is you accepting yourself for who you are! There is no one else in the world that'll ever be like you, or even close! When you juxtapose stuff, you only compare when they are similar. You don't compare, say....a desk and a bookshelf. So, you shouldn't compare yourself to others! And, of course, if you're worried about college, no need! There's always tone of people worse than you as well!
Of course relatives are like that- they're ASIAN. Tell me an asian adult who doesn't castigate their relatives. Bah. You aren't fat. 20 pounds overweight? That's nothing. I doubt you're like those obese Americans. (that reminds me, you've got to watch Gabriel Iglesias on youtube) :P
(sorry, had to drop in a few SAT words, since you're the only person on here I can do that to. xD)
That's impossible for me to do. I don't look a day ahead, I look 2 years ahead. And then I get depressed and feel like a loser and feel like I've done nothing to prove myself... that and the fact that my relatives and family never fail to remind me that LOL. And then at school I'm criticized for caring too much about school and thinking I'm fat when I'm not (while my relatives and their friends always laugh at me and say I'm ugly because I'm fat... o__O), and that I should just relax and get Bs like everyone else. o3o
THAT AWKWARD MOMENT WHEN...
your school doesn't agree with your culture. :x
I wish I could just stop thinking about the future but I can't. xDDD
it's so weird omg.
That's what I used to worry- then I decided to consider the future as only a day away. Everything beyond that is....I don't even bother to think about it. xD
Perhaps you can try that? :P
