so.. i was on kpoptown, and i had my cart ready to go!! but, when i logged back on, my cart was completely cleared!! i had to start all over again. but, it seemed like fate was on my side for once when i found this ring. i loved it. going to college full-time in the fall.. what could be better than being an A+ as a fan and as a student?! i wanted this ring. it was the last one in stock AND my size!! i was in the final stages of purchasing (which can be a hassle online) and my internet provider decided it would be fun to screw with me, and the internet was down. for nearly 6 hours!! needless to say, my luck (as always) had me throwing my phone as hard as i could on the sofa and my hands in the air.. in those terrible, wretched 6 hours, i lost the ring to another :/

thedailywhat: RIP: Sad news out of University of Utah Hospital today, where champion freestyle skier Sarah Burke passed away after succumbing to injuries she sustained following a training accident. She was 29. The four-time X Games winner who became an icon in her sport suffered irreversible brain damage following a cardiac arrest brought on by a vertebral artery rupture she suffered as a result of a halfpipe accident which occurred nine days ago at Park City Mountain Resort. The infamous Eagle Superpipe was also the site of snowboarder Kevin Pearce’s 2009 training accident which resulted in a traumatic brain injury. He has since recovered. “Sarah, in many ways, defines the sport,” said the CEO of Canada’s freestyle team, Peter Judge, prior to Burke’s death. “She’s been involved since the very, very early days as one of the first people to bring skis into the pipe. She’s also been very dedicated in trying to define her sport but not define herself by winning. For her, it’s been about making herself the best she can be rather than comparing herself to other people.” Her family released a statement confirming her death, but has asked the media for privacy to mourn their loss.

longdivisionnnn: fuckyeahlotrcast: Bob Anderson passed away on January 1st, 2012, at the age of 89. He was the master swordsman for the Lord of the Rings trilogy, and for The Hobbit. Among his other projects were the Star Wars trilogy, where he played Darth Vader during fighting scenes. He truly was an incredible and talented man, and he will be sorely missed.

worst morning EVER!!

so.. i went to bed at 5 am, had nightmares all morning, and woke up every 30 minutes. finally decided to stop beating my brain up, and just get up. i’m worried these nightmares will more or less come true. my brother’s best friend, whom you might remember me stating in earlier posts is also a good friend of mine, is leaving today for basic. we really didn’t want him to go into the army.. (technically he’s going to be in the air force) but, we still want to support him and see him off. i have this weird feeling that he didn’t text us when he was leaving, so we can’t say good bye because he actually left early this morning.. :/

i really hope it isn’t true. i’ll let you guys know how it turns out.
