			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Seriously how much of an idiot do you have to be to like something as useless and stupid as twilight. Yes, Anne Rice used vampires to reach the angsty youth as well but, come on, Anne Rice knew her shit. She did her research and her books were actually readable. (I like Anne Rice by the way, and I thank her for her books who accompanied me through my tween years and I actually apologize that I&#8217;m comparing her to Stephenie). Unlike Stephenie Meyer&#8217;s books Anne&#8217;s books don&#8217;t sound like they were written by sad 12 year olds with out imaginations. </p>
<p>Who the fuck names their main character Bella Swan. SERIOUSLY. WTF? Beautiful swan? The book and the movies are full of &#8211; no scratch that &#8211; made out of such cliches that it actually hurts. I highly doubt that a emo 13 year old could ever come up with something so unimaginative.</p>
<p>Sparkling vampires? Vampires who can, but choose to not fuck? Here, this is a quote from the douchess: &#8220;one of the great things about fantasy is that research rarely applies&#8221;. Seriously. Did I just travel to bizarro land? Oh, oh here&#8217;s another one &#8220;When I write the story, it&#8217;s not like I&#8217;m thinking about what I&#8217;m doing&#8221; I rest my case.</p>
<p>Also, why the hell is she advising tween girls &#8220;to threaten to kill themselves if their boyfriends want to leave them&#8221;. The movie (which I watched -not in the theaters-, since I&#8217;m not going to read the crappy books) is so full of sexism that I was in shock for a few full hours. The lead female is spineless and has a creepily dependent personality, the lead male is an asshole, and is emotionally abusive. </p>
<p>Now that I&#8217;ve made myself clear. Please get the hell out of my life. If I ever see that emo poster again, I&#8217;m going to barf on it. It&#8217;s the most shittiest editing job I&#8217;ve seen on a hollywood poster. </p>
<p>On a final note, Robert Pattinson is not hot, he is scrawny and just plain regular. Not showering does not make you a hot, bad guy, neither does sparkling like a fucking diamond. If you seriously think he&#8217;s so fine that he blows your mind, please gtfo and go suck a lemon.</p>
<p>And that is the end of my rant. Now something nice to listen to to do away with all the crappiness I&#8217;ve been talking about.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I feel like bitching. A lot.</p>
<p>I hate it when I can&#8217;t explain myself to people. Especially over the internet. I don&#8217;t have to know the person, just the fact that I can&#8217;t explain myself makes me feel like I come across as an idiot. Which I&#8217;m not.</p>
<p>Just the fact that we are confined to 140 characters makes it almost impossible communicate. I also use my body to talk for me. The fact that I have to type to explain something really grinds my non existent balls.</p>
<p>I learned in the past year or so, that I in no way can change someones religious views, faith is far more stronger than me and has thousands of years brain washing on its side. So, I decided that I should take it lightly, make fun of the situation. I decided that being bigot about the situation just helps me keep my sanity. I know what I believe in and my opinions grow and change. When I want to talk to someone about my opinions I talk to Eren or a very select few of my friends who I feel like I can have stimulating conversations with. These conversations never happen online.</p>
<p>I also love how when I feel agitated and I look over to Eren, and he doesn&#8217;t even have to say anything or he lets out a &#8220;oh c&#8217;mon&#8221; grunt and I go &#8220;yeah fuck it&#8221;. I get over it and write a blog post about it. </p>
<p>So sorry if you&#8217;re reading this. It&#8217;s totally for my personal relief.</p>
<p>Here watch this and laugh:</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I&#8217;m in an extremely bitchy mood so I guess this is a good outlet for me. It&#8217;s not the I&#8217;m gonna stab you in the face kinda bitchy but more of a I want to just rant and rave kinda thing.</p>
<p>So my friend ugur&#8217;s dad sent him $3000 via western union so he could pay his tuition. Here is some background on the subject. Ugur is Turkish and the money was sent from Turkey, also his English is, well, not so well.</p>
<p>So ugur goes to a western union agent and is told that he needs a social security number to withdraw money. That&#8217;s stupid since the guy does not have one since he is not <em>American</em>. This should be pretty obvious to anyone with a brain.</p>
<p>He goes to Safeway, where he is told that they could not write checks for amounts less than $3001 dollars. He goes to money mart and is told he needs a social security number &#8211; yet again. After visiting about 10 western union agents, he comes to me asking for help.</p>
<p>This is where it gets stupid. I called Western Union to see what was happening. The guy with an very thick accent answered, we basically couldn&#8217;t understand each other (the reception is shit at school). He asked me if I would like to talk to somebody else. I told him to get someone who spoke Turkish so I could give the phone to my friend who was having the problem. After being put through to four different people who spoke french, arabic etc. they figured out that WU did not have a Turkish operator. That was fine. I gave up and explained the situation to the guy I was put through to. </p>
<p>I told him that my friend could not withdraw his money because WU agents asked for a social security number and my friend did not have one since he was a foreigner. The guy then told me to that Ugur needed to have two valid ids. the rest went something like this.</p>
<p>Me: He has his passport<br />
WUGuy: Is it an American passport.<br />
Me: no, it&#8217;s a Turkish passport. He&#8217;s Turkish.<br />
WUGuy: Oh, We can&#8217;t accept that, it has to be an american passport.<br />
Me: Are you telling me that foreigner&#8217;s cannot use western union.<br />
WUGuy: No they can. They just have to use an id that&#8217;s accepted by the (in our case) state of California.<br />
Me: A passport is universal.<br />
WUGuy: Does he have a driver&#8217;s license?<br />
Me: He has his Turkish driver&#8217;s license.<br />
WUGuy: Nope, that&#8217;s not gonna work.<br />
Me: So what should we do?<br />
WUGuy: Let me talk to my supervisor to see if I have correct information.<br />
**waits**<br />
WUGuy: yeah, he needs to have an American ID. The sender should change the name to someone who has valid identification.</p>
<p>This pissed me off because the guy did not know what the hell he was talking about.</p>
<p>The next day I called back and the conversation went like this.</p>
<p>Me: I have a problem and I need it to be fixed. My friend was sent money from Turkey. He cannot withdraw the money because they ask for his social security number. He does not have one because he is not an American citizen. He has his Turkish passport. Passports are universal and the state of California accepts passports as valid identification. He has his Turkish driver&#8217;s license. Right now, If he was stopped by a cop and he showed his Turkish driver&#8217;s license the cop would accept it. It&#8217;s a valid, legal piece of identification.<br />
WUGuy2: Ma&#8217;am. Those are valid IDs. They should work. If they say it doesn&#8217;t just tell them to call us and will validate the information.</p>
<p>So after hearing this we went to an WU agent. </p>
<p>Okay. This became too long. So, long story short. We walked from agent to agent until we found one that had enough cash (in the tenderloin) or was not run by a bunch of idiots. And finally got the money.</p>
<p>point of the story? do not use western union or something like that.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Seriously, I realized that this is very true. I grew up in Turkey and had a lot of problems with my teachers. At first it they were because my mom was a single working mom, then the problem became that she was American, then it turn into me being American. I was a very quiet child, I was respectful and loved to day dream. I hated doing homework and had back pains whenever I had to do them. It wasn&#8217;t until  junior high that I realized all my back talking, rude friends got less heat from the teachers. That&#8217;s when I decided I would never let anyone push me around. I became an obnoxious, opinionated bitch. At first it worked. Then, the problem became that I did not know how to shut up and I had too strong of a presence in class. I dealt with it. I had many fights with my English teachers, since I knew better English (yeah some didn&#8217;t know how to pronounce cucumber). One even told me that just because I was American, didn&#8217;t mean I knew English, well fair enough.</p>
<p>I moved to San Francisco about 8 months ago. I started attending AAU. My first semester was great and I got really good grades. I felt like this was my last chance at a career and I was doing something that I wanted and loved, which was a great luxury in Turkey. So this semester I got two online classes. One is Fashion Illustration 2. The teacher is a complete bitch. She had it in for me since the class started. Well, this might be because I am an opinionated obnoxious bitch who said something like &#8220;nobody should blindly follow books, they should follow the truth&#8221; in the welcome questionnaire they gave us. Still that doesn&#8217;t give her the right to be a complete ignorant idiot. I sent her a note saying I was sick (which I am, horrible chronic sinus infection) and I would give her my doctors note after I pick it up from the doctor&#8217;s office. So what was the answer -she told me that I should drop the class because I wouldn&#8217;t be able to pass it without a doctor&#8217;s note. Again did I tell you she was an idiot and apparently illiterate. She keeps doing this, misreading my messages and giving me idiot answers.</p>
<p>Anyways, I love how her bio reads that she is an f*ing amazing illustrator and is very very accomplished. Dude.. Seriously, If you are so awesome why the hell are you teaching at AAU for less than $18K a year.</p>
