Pyrotilly

Currently attending the University of California, Irvine. Absolutely love it here. The weather is amazing the beach is 5 miles away and the people are just really chill. I'm very happy here although some people complain that there are too many Asians here.

Once I was at a concert and this middle-aged man said he wanted to guess my ethnicity. I said "Please don't". He tried anyway, and he listed twelve different countries, all of them wrong, and moved onto countries like Cambodia and Laos. I'm Korean! How can you miss that badly? The real idiotic part is he later asked if I wanted to drink with him. Yeah, right.

After a college party, I said something so ridiculous that people STILL quote me by yelling the phrase out.

I think you're confusing religion with culture. I don't think any major religion condones this sort of thing. However, people still practice things that may have happened in the country traditionally, but are now considered barbaric. Honor killing is one of them. It doesn't justify what the family and it's tragic that people take some things to the extreme.

Honestly, as a girl I don't think I'm as nervous talking to a guy as a guy is talking to a girl (generally). Most girls get lots of practice in how to initiate and carry on a conversation from their social lives. But then again, theres a lot more pressure on guys to not say the wrong thing and screw up.

Honestly, guys will look at appearance when it comes to girls, and girls will do the same to guys. Honestly, you can't expect anyone to like someone they're not attracted to. If the personality is attractive, then fine. If the guy is unattractive and has a bad personality, I'm not touching with a ten foot pole. If the guy is drop dead gorgeous and has a bad personality, he will suddenly turn unattractive in my eyes, and I'm not touching with a ten foot pole. What does annoy me is when people say they're only attracted to people who look like Orlando Bloom/Heidi Klum. Come on now, who do you think you're kidding?

Call me a bleeding heart liberal, but I seem to be waay opposite of the first list. 1.) Republicans 2.) stuck up Conservatives 3.) Right wing in general 4.) haters of illegal immigrants 5.) fancy restaurants where the food is $30 a plate 6.) Chavs <- No clue what those are 7.) Football 8.) Wal-Mart 9.) Dancey trancey pop music 10.) White people who think they're the only ones who qualify as Americans 11.) Obnoxious frat-boys at school 12.) Exxon-Mobile 13.) 10 - 13 yr old idiots on RS ruining the community 14.) Terrible commercials, like the movie trailer for Little Man 15.) The Irvine Company 16.) Uni-culturalism 17.) Track suits 18.) People who don't go to the gym and are content to eat McDonalds until their rears grow past the ends of their seats. 19.) BLONDE ORANGE COUNTY TROPHY WIVES WHO ARE SO TAN THEYRE DISGUSTING 20.) New American slang, some of which is just idiotic 21.) Ignorant people 22.) People who judge people by their haircut 23.) Tom Cruise 24.) Golf 25.) People who talk into mobile phones ALL THE TIME (and talk about disgusting things in public) 26.) The US Postal Service 27.) People who telephone you with surveys 28.) Stucco floors 29.) Actually, I haven't been to any restaurants I didn't like 30.) Smelly people who don't bathe or brush up 31.) People who take a simplistic view of welfare that originated as conservative brainwash to make you believe all welfare people are lazy bums. 32.) Paris Hilton 33.) How pretty much everything costs a lot here. 34.) Living life stoned 35.) Having no money and waiting a month till the next installment 36.) When you pick up the phone and the person hangs up 37.) cold weather 38.) racists 39.) guys that assume all Asian girls are passive geisha-dolls 40.) POLITICAL INCORRECTNESS 41.) FOX News 42.) Rude Americans 43.) People who push and shove like they're the only one waiting 44.) Campus parking enforcement! 45.) Fake plastic-ed out girls who only think about hair and nails and purging their last meal 46.) Sarcasm 47.) Eurocentric education 48.) Mariah Carey 49.) Term papers 50.) Pushy dogmatic professors of either side EDIT 51.) Skinheads 52.) Ann Coulter 53.) Gas prices as of current 54.) How the Jews and Muslims are always duking it out on campus. Give it a rest!

You'll probably hear this from other people, but if the girls you know are that evil....maybe you're just looking for the wrong kind of girls.

I used to have pretty bad acne. Go to a dermatologist and ask him to prescribe you Differin, tetracyclin, or doxycyclin. The tetracyclin really cleared up my skin. In really severe cases, Accutane works wonders even though I hear that your eyes and mouth get really dry.

Honestly, I've never been attracted to what a lot of people think are hot. Blond surfer guys that have good tans and look like Abercrombie models. When other girls go "Oh my gosh, he's sooo hot!" I just say "Meh" and barely look up. In general, I'm attracted to just average guys who have brains, appreciate food, and don't make fun of me for playing video games. Oh yeah, and I really like geeky guys. :3>

Sometimes guys that feel awkward talking just clam up and don't talk, but that's a big mistake. The girl might think you're bored or uninterested. Some guys move onto *cough* other activities that don't require talking, but in the wrong context you could get slapped. Try going out with friends to feel more comfortable, especially a girl that's a friend. If you're really at a loss for what to talk about, ask a general question about her interests or friends or family and let her talk for a while. Hope I was of help.

Zoltr, I imagine that this might have been something that's been bugging you. I can see a couple ways to interpret what happened. 1. The girl thought you were good-looking but didn't want to be direct so they came off as really sarcastic-sounding or rude. That happens. When I want to compliment someone, I try to say something that doesn't sound cheesy or fake like "Hey baby, looking good!" But then again, not everyone does. 2. The girl is just being a hole in one. I'm sorry, but that happens too. But wait! There is hope! Honestly, every young person goes through a stage where they look awkward, feel awkward, or other young people put you down so that they feel better about themselves. There was this one guy who used to make fun of my appearance several times a week and I seriously thought I was doomed to be ugly forever. As puberty drew to a close, well I can't show pictures but I've been told that I'm attractive/hot/pretty by a number of people. So yeah, don't fret, I'm sure you're perfectly alright.

Well, people think I'm a geek because I play MMORPGs, but they usually refuse to believe it because I don't look like your average gamer. If they do believe me, they say something to the effect of "You play (insert game here)? Wow, that's so nerdy/cool/hot"

In that case, I am so naming my kids as follows: LumbyPrncess89 Xxpk3rm4g3j00xx L33terthanthou

I had braces during high school, and at first they chafed and caused plenty of canker sores. Your mouth gets used to them and makes more saliva and the skin inside your lips get thicker when you've had your braces for a little bit. Proof? When you finally get your braces off, your teeth feel kinda slimy and I couldn't suck in my cheeks like a fish anymore. I'm a little sad about that...
