ya know I needed this dumb lil eagle n flag somewhere
Yeah, that’s right, I love it. In a time when it’s oh so trendy to hate society and all this country’s flaws, I love the United States of America.
And yes, I do acknowledge the flaws. It does suck that there’s still widespread racism and sexism and it sucks that same-sex marriage isn’t nationally recognized. (It also sucks that marijuana isn’t legal everywhere but ya know, I can let that go.)
I love America because I’m free. I love America because I’m free to love it یا I’m free to hate it. I can choose. I can voice my opinions.
I love that it can be funny for people to stand up and say "this country is flawed as hell." I love Jon Stewart and how he can make fun of America and Americans while still loving it/them. It's not blind love but it doesn't have to be to be true. America is flawed, we all know, but that's not going to stop me from loving it.
'Cause look, there are a hell of a lot of people in other countries who don’t have the option to poke fun یا voice opinions – it’s sit down and shut up یا die. Instead, our Constitution protects us and our courts defend us.
And I love America because I believe the spirit of progressivism is alive and kicking. I believe, fully and truly, that things are better than they were and they will continue to get even better.
Look at this chart:
Look at how things have improved and think about how they will improve. That’s the people making those changes, the people opening their minds and gradually becoming مزید accepting. Honestly, I find that a lot مزید impressive (even if not necessarily مزید desirable) than being completely open-minded from start to finish. We are overcoming our shitty biases and opinions. We are stronger than those barriers.
And note, this is coming from a lesbian. I know what discrimination feels like, legally and socially. I hate that when I grow up I want to get married but I also want to live in Pennsylvania, and currently that's not possible. But the thing is, I believe it will be. We've gotten so many victories just in the past ten years that I really don't think it will be long before same-sex marriage is legalized nationwide. Then we can مزید fully tackle issues with trans* people, and keep moving forward, آگے forward. Dissenters are a diminishing minority; we will win.
I also love America because there is upward mobility . When my dad’s father immigrated here he was dirt poor but he put himself through college and became successful. The cards may be against this mobility thanks to the offensively low minimum wage and old-money Republicans fighting programs like welfare and food stamps, but it’s possible if آپ fight for it, if آپ have that American spirit.
So hell yeah I love America. In addition to Big Macs, good music, California and Say Yes To The Dress, we have a history I’m proud of because it is story after story of overcoming adversity and bias. I believe we are currently laying the grounds for even مزید of those stories.
I won't apologize - I'm fuckin' proud to be an American.
She's been married for a couple months now, but still can’t get used to calling him her husband.
“I forget to call him ‘my husband’ sometimes and still say ‘my boyfriend’. But I’ll get there,” she said.
This can happen to anyone we suppose, it takes a while to get used to the idea of being a wife.

One of my favorite book series'.
Yesterday, Demi Lovato talked about the nominees for the American موسیقی Awards coming up on the 21st of November.
It will be really exciting, because in the category for Best Female Popstar we have Ke$ha, Lady Gaga and Katy Perry!
In the category for Best Male Artist we have to choose between Justin Bieber, his friend Usher and Eminem. Who will win?
And as far as Artist of the Year, it is between Justin Bieber, Lady Gaga, Katy Perry, Ke$ha and Eminem. An interesting mix and tough competition.

5 مزید incredibly random stuff...I'd like to note that not everything listed is exactly possible, but each is genuinely unique and random in it's own way....
5) wear a nametag that reads "hello. My name is Jesus Christ" (or famous person) when some one says "you're not Jesus" turn around and say "Jesus? Where?"
4) befriend a zombie (don't try unless you're okay with being bitten)
3) give out autographs to complete strangers and pretend you're famous
2) divide سے طرف کی zero (it's a little harder than it looks)
1) walk up behind someone and whisper in their ear "I like mudkips...."
Lots of laughs...I recommend 3, 2 and 1

Ever met that one person who really really aggervates آپ , like constantly talking یا doing everything آپ do , well im gonna help آپ deal with them without punching them in the face (kris style <3)
1) always carry a stress ball , those things do work , and if not , آپ can always throw it at him/her
2) Carry a تکیا in آپ purse/bag , so if آپ need to scream , scream in the تکیا , this pervents people from thinking your crazy
3) Earphones , آپ COULD use them to block that person out , but studies دکھائیں that if that person happens to نگلنا one of the earphones , they wont talk anymore ,
4)Just a hint ; throwing chairs never helps ,
5)Try to be their friend , mabey that'll work
6) if its your sibbling ,
Girl:flush her fav barbie doll
Boy:Flush his favorate comic book
mixed gender: Flush their face (:
Again; Kris style <3

Are You MAD!?
I am sorry. I hate it when i have to do this, because i know that it's really silly! But the only reason why i wouldn't پرستار anyone back, would be if they had joined the twilight saga club. I can see it on their پروفائل and i immediately go all prejudice against them.
I shouldn't, i know, but it's against my morals to پرستار someone who loves the Twilight saga. If you're only a پرستار of Twilight, sometimes i forgive you... if you've done something to earn my respect.
Which would lead me onto my اگلے reason...
If آپ have done nothing to earn my friendship, and not joined any of my favourite/major clubs, then i don't feel obliged to پرستار you.
However, if i can see that you're a پرستار of 'Random' یا 'Harry Potter' یا 'HP v T' etc, then the probability is that i will پرستار آپ back.
On the other hand, if آپ are looking at this thinking that آپ haven't done any of these things, then feel free to پرستار me... i'll gladly return the favour! :)
