China pretty much just banned Skype...
As this trip gets more and more real, the EXTREME IRONY that I’m going to China to study REPORTING does not escape me.
Just what have I gotten myself into?

that was taken by her mom the night i stayed over.
She played violin and did groovy things like paint in her room. She had regular brown hair...

My epic middle school romance.
He was the bad boy/class clown. (Isn’t that already exciting?!) His name was Terrance and he was supposed to be in the 8th grade, but he hadn’t scored high enough on the TAKS test and had been held back. He was tall and lanky, his nationality wasn’t clear to me but I always thought he was mixed with African American and Indian. He had slightly big eyes and thick long eyelashes. I...

One time a creeper approached me in Wal-mart late...
Doyin: (innocently standing in an ailse looking at... toothpaste? Can't remember)
Creeper: (creepily coming up behind me without me hearing him.) Why does it seem like your mind is far off?
Doyin: (avoiding eye contact and referring to wanting to not be around him) That's because I'm trying to leave this place as soon as possible.
Creeper: (probably thinking I'm referring to leaving Wal-mart) Oh right, right. So what's your name?
Doyin: (rolling my eyes on the inside) That's classified information.
Creeper: (not realizing this means "get lost") Oh that's OK... People have information they want to keep classified.
Doyin: (walking away and nodding).
Creeper: (walking with me) I just saw you and wanted to say "Hi." Just let you know that I noticed you.
Doyin: (walking away and nodding)
Creeper: (watching me walk away) I appreciate your skin tone, keep it real sistah.
Doyin: (finally escapes with a WTF look on my face)

Sign #1 that we're gonna be friends for life, that...
If i can just sit there and listen to you talk for hours. Just had lunch with a good friend from high school. When I come home from college, he’s one of the few people that get an official “announcement”. Yes I’m exclusive with my time in the Dallas Fort Worfffff area.
I could listen to that dude talk about his dreams/goals/struggles for hours…
Yes, folks. I’m...

and that’s why I have immaculately preserved clothes from when i was 5 years younger and 50 lbs lighter.
I won’t insult myself by trying to get money in exchange for these clothes at Buffaloe Exchange or Plato’s closet.

Darn.
Did some research on the Green Lanterns, which means I wikied it.
So apparently the main Green Lantern for Earth is Hal Jordan, a white man. And the black Green Lantern, John Stewart, is his back up.
But Jon Stewart is the Green Lantern that was a member of the Justice League, which is why I knew of him, but not Hal Jordan.
Correct me if I’m wrong, comic book fans.
So, I guess...

Wait a minute...
…isn’t the Green Lantern… BLACK?
So what is this I hear about a Green Lantern movie coming out in 2011 starring Ryan Reynolds?
*loses focus*
What was I talking about?
Oh yeah. I like Ryan Reynolds as much as the next person (see above picture), but come on Hollywood? You couldn’t let just ONE of the more famous superheros be black?
*sigh*
