Got my driver’s permit renewed today. I think the fact that I got asked whether I was born in the U.S. ruined my afternoon. Pissed off was more like it. Just because I’m a little softspoken and Asian doesn’t mean I don’t speak fluent English.
Anyways, let’s look the bright side: yay, permit renewed!
I’m feeling down today. Feeling unloved, in...

Anyone who dissents - verbally or in action - is often considered anti-American. One is not anti-American because they’re against an oppressive government, especially when it has been taken over by the interests of large corporations.

Usually, I like nimble characters with movesets I could get down easily. I’m partial to Ibuki myself. However, I would totally try to get all of Hakan’s moves down just so that I could make dude players uncomfortable in the future. Not to mention that getting his moveset down can be a challenge since some moves would be more effective if he douses oil on himself.

I searched for Skip Beat to find out that the Taiwanese live-action adaptation has been broadcasting for sometime now…o_O How in the world did I miss that? Man, I ought to start watching Asian dramas again.
Looking at the opening, it appears that it’ll stick to the manga a great deal, with Kyoko’s spirits and all. Lol

Wondering if I should play League of Legends…this will be my 3rd free-to-play game I’ve played. The previous ones - Rohan and Shin Megami Tensei Imagine - I have played, I didn’t really play for very long because I got bored quickly.

Midori's Day: 2/23/2012
So I’m feeling a little blue today. I didn’t have a ride to class today because my dad disappeared to the casino and when I couldn’t reach him, I had to take the bus. I was 30 minutes late, but at least I showed up. The downside is I now have one absence. Two more and I’m dropped from the writing class, so I need to be on time from now on.
I’m starting to feel...

Midori's Day: 2/22/2012
I went to Phoenix College’s first Drag and Variety Show tonight. It was hosted by the school’s GLBTQ club, Rainbow Spectrum. I wanted to show some support for the local entertainment and check it out, so I went. The entertainers were really cool, and everyone enjoyed the show. As did I. The last performance of the night, the president of Rainbow Spectrum did her performance and...
