last night, the boyfriend said he had a weird feeling the virginia tech shooter was korean. i asked him why and he replied, "because koreans are notorious for that kind of thinking. the 'if i'm going to be miserable and die, you're going to be as miserable as i am and die with me' mentality. only koreans are crazy enough to think that way." i'm sad to say he was right on the money.
i'm not really worried about the backlash. is that totally obtuse of me? i don't care. i can't freak out every single time some random korean person does something crazy or stupid. it is what it is.

this past weekend, i was reminded that i was a mean, scary bully when i was a kid. sometimes it was to defend my sisters, but usually for my own selfish, nefarious reasons. i didn't remember any of the bullying i did at first, but it started slowly coming back to me. i was so embarrassed and i felt horrible i was such a mean girl. i apologized to her and assured her that karma came and gave it back to me ten times over during my twenties so believe that what goes around comes around.
