That's how I used to feel about sex.

They always make you commit to 6 months... but once you're in you don't need to do it. Especially if you're an outstanding volunteer. I volunteered for *technically* four consecutive years at the local hospital. But it was more like whenever I had an extended break... so summers and winters only.

He was awarded the scholarship based on merit. We should be applauding him and his achievement despite his background. All of this coverage and... the "fuck you, poor people foundation"?

I have to say, that's the best reaction under the circumstances. Props to you.

I see:

That he is.

When I immigrated to the states, I reversed the order of my name as well. I didn't want people to confuse my last name with my first. Simple. And I lost no part of my identity or cultural respect in doing so.

My thought exactly. One of my male friends (well, more like an acquaintance) MARRIED the woman who would verbally abuse and spit on him. I was stunned when he admitted to it.

Ooooh! Something Honey Boo Boo Child and I have in common!

It's their money. They can do what they want with it, however idiotic.

Jasmine flower? Really.

I must have that shirt! Where did you find this?

I like her after reading the NYT article. She seems level-headed.

It's not just you.

I don't understand it. I was CRUSHED and at the time but still pathetically begged him to stay and made a total ass out of myself (I had to lose all self-respect in order to do it... it sucked). Until one day it was enough and I left and went no contact. Just DONE.

What is it with ex's friending me on Facebook? It's been 3 years. You cheated on me. I was hurt. We broke up. Your actions dictated my choice. What are you trying to accomplish by contacting me now? You live 6 states away.

OHHHH inviiite me. Actually, I'm inviting myself. That looks yummy!

You in DC? I vote no, I did that last weekend and couldn't get home for two hours.

Ah okay... I figured it'd be easier but I can never memorize my passwords. LOL!

That is so horrifying. It makes me so sad when shit like this happens. Give her many hugs. This may not be the new start she imagined, but she seems like a strong person and I hope she comes out on top eventually.
