Now it can't be unseen. :) I'm not really familar with holsters being an urban Canadian but you're right!

When I saw the wierd "Ringu" style bride all I could think of was the opening to miss Saigon where Kim wears her wedding gown to be pimped out.

The way of the picture, sure that looks really uncomfortable. To each their own but afer so many years of cleavage with a side of asthma puffer (which fits remarkably well) I'm not sure if it'd bother me. Actually it sounds like a great way to know your phone is ringing in a noisy bar!

I love cows - they're my favourite animals. (Though my puppy Lyra is my favorite animal) So eons ago when I was in grade 10 and starting to learn Japanese I decided to try and translate a screen name I'd been considering into Japanese (becuase that's the sort of thing you do as a 15 year old anime geek.) Unfortunately…

If the amount of job postings for religious post secondary institutions is anything to go by, they can't get all of the specialized labour they need to run major institutions like colleges and hospitals strictly from the conservative catholic population. And it's not like non-catholics like myself can wade through…

*blinks* what? Says who? I don't normally bring my faith into discussions here on Jezebel except when invited but citation please?

I knew about the large Japanese communities in Latin America but I didn't know that more recent Chinese immigration had made those communities about equal in numbers. The more you know!

I'm not in the Conflict Transformation program at my grad school but I've taken some of the identity classes they offer since I'm interested in how in-group out group dynamics affect foreign students during times of crisis. One tool that really resonated with me was the history walk - have you heard of it or used it…

More like Japanese than Chinese. Did you know that the American government not only interned Japanese Americans during WWII but also Japanese-Peruvians and Japanese-Panamaians? Unlike their American and Canadian counterparts these groups have never been offered an apology or redress.

I just kept digging my hole deeper - talked about going to meet his parents and then the third degree really came out - where do they live, when are you going etc added to the regular where does he live, how did you meet? oh an exchange program, which schools etc.

Hmm... that puts the grilling I got at Heathrow back in 2008 in a possible new light. At the time I just thought they'd want the information to track me down if I decided to marry my boyfriend at the time and then try and change my status. Now perhaps they were screening me to see if I was an escort? That makes a…

Jeez, your ex-boss sounds like a piece of work - probably one of those militantly extroverted people who are offended if every single person in their orbit isn't just as social and extraverted as them. Those sort of extraverts can suck it. Conferences are mentally draining and I would need that time alone recharging…

yeah, I'm getting my master's degree in new england. Given that there were exactly 4 weeks from when the election was called and conincided with a really intense part of my program and medical issues for me, my Dad knew that he only had to keep it from me for so long before time ran out for me.

I am really pissed and I feel like my deeply cherished values have been trampled on. I just called my returning officer and found out that I can't vote.

Absolutely devastated. When I called my election office they said it was physically impossible for me to vote. How the hell are they expecting people to hear about the election, get the ballot mailed to them and sent back when there is only 4 weeks between the election being called and the election day?

Oh me too, you know bare floors - they show every scratch and ding and require all sorts of products to keep them smooth. I much prefer my carpet, not to mention it's coordinated with my drapes.

I was appalled that my Dad did this - he's usually not like this. I mean it's been a family joke for years that my parents never support the same candidates but he said to me that it was up to the family members that vote in the same sort of direction that I do to let me know the election is coming up. WTF? You mean…

Yes! I was so worried when I realised earlier today that it was tomorrow. Bloody two weeks of hell at school and somehow I never came across anything that suggested that an election was so soon until my uncle posted about voting at the advance polls.

Yeah, it was quite clear that his hair was "bronze" and his eyes green. As a fellow ginger, I noticed! And pattison has proven he can pull off "bronze" haired characters (physically at least) - I wonder how much of this came about when they read Finnick with bronze hair and remembered the last time a sex symbol was…

He's already proven he can pull off bronze coloured hair so he'd be true to the book! He is yummy when he cleans up.
