OMG, YOU GUYS.
There was a HOSTAGE SITUATION at my university. While I was there.
And I didn't have a clue it was even happening!

I'm walking to catch the bus- my grand plan was to have lunch at KFC with my glorious new Ilona Andrews book- and this reporter chick rushes up to me, all, 'Were you there when the incident happened?' and there's the ( Read more... )

zomg, hostage drama *hugs you* just as well you didn't see it; witnessing violence firsthand stays with a person

*melts at the penguin picture*

you're not wrong; they definitely look alike :)

Okay. I'm probably not acquitting myself well here by declaring myself interested in seeing another human being get threatened. But...it's like when people can't look away from a car crash or something. I just- exciting is such an awful word to use but...

I wonder if this is what articles mean when they say people are desensitized to violence because of tv. *ponders*

And yes, omg, the penguins! I'm firmly suppressing the cynical part of me that wonders if it was manipped somehow, because of the epic cuteness! *bounces*

Hehe, I'm glad general opinion agrees that the two ladies look alike. Sometimes I'm not sure whether I'm reaching or not. I'm not the most impartial observer around, lol.

A lot of people are fascinated by what's different and surprising. It's not even desensitization, just curiousity, imo.

You know, I don't think the penguin pic was a manip at all. I've seen similar photos with other animals in National Geographic and Smithsonian. A nature photographer will leave his tripod to grab something from his pack and the animals he's been observing will mosey over now that the human's gone to see what's going on. And, of course, no professional photographer only carries a single camera on his person.

eh, being an impartial observer is overrated *hugs you*

Jesus effin Christ! I know what you mean though. Weird situations at campus ALWAYS happen after I leave campus.

IKR?! *flails*

And meh, doesn't it make you feel left out? Like, everyone else is buzzing with news and you're in the dark, so uncool. *pouts*

I love her hair, kudos to the stylists! Her fringe was just too heavy last season, and it didn't flatter her face that much. The side-swept look is much cleaner and more elegant. IMHO. :P

Holy crap, hostage situation? Really? Meep. *squishes*

Also, omg, as soon as you mentioned CM and Mentalist hair styles that thought clicked in my head and then you picspammed it. Brain sharing awesomeness xD

I still like Lisbon with the wavy hair better though, lol.

Doesn't it sound cool just to say it, though? 'Hostage situation'. 'Hostage crisis'. Mwahahaa. Yes, I'm a drama queen. I'd totally be a villain just for the awesome monologues. :P

Whee! I love those brain-sharing moments! *nuzzles Cylon twinny* Our minds are in sync. :D

Hmm. 'k, with Lisbon, I like her hair either way. I wasn't a fan of the fringe at first but it quickly grew on me. Whereas with Emily, I'm SO glad she finally got rid of it.

Do you watch Glee? Don't worry, no fandom brainwashing in the offing here, lol, I'm not hooked on it, but the singing's neat! I watch it for the neurotic counselor chick, who was in one ep of Heroes and died, which irked me as I liked her shy, winsome ways, so yay for her striking it lucky on this show! PLUS it has Reid's mom as a super mean, super snarky gym coach! She's like the female House, haha!
