Face on the milk carton.
I was watching the news today, and one of the stories was about Johnny Gosch. A boy who has been missing since 1982, and was one of the first widely publicized child abduction cases.
You can read a little more about the case here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Johnny_Gosch
In 1999, the mother reported that her son knocked on her door in the middle of the night, and spoke to her. Along with him was somebody she doesn't know. "Johnny divulged that his had been a targeted, not random, abduction, in 1982. His captors had forced him into a decade of child sex-slavery. Johnny explained that as his survival was a potential security breach for the conspiracy, he was currently, and probably permanently, in hiding, and would likely never see her again." Then he left her again.
Recently, the mother found some pictures of boys and identified her son. It was horrible seeing those pictures of the tied up boys! There was even one with her son with some brand on his arm. It really gave me the creeps. Now, the photos are still being investigated for authenticity. BUT a sheriff has said that he'd actually came upon those pictures in the late 70's before the Gosch case.
Ofcourse my first reaction was HORROR. When I really began thinking about this, it was just too... unreal. Also, someone has claimed to have examined those pictures even before there was an abduction. But, the kid looks like hers. As far as I really don't think the government would cover up something so ****** up, but I am naive.
What do you guys think? Do you think her story of her son visiting her is true? Are the pictures authentic? Could there be some sort of twisted nation-wide conspiracy of child abduction? Comments (3) |

Stressed me out...
Saturday I came home from the store, and my sister had people that came to visit from about 300 miles away. So my keys dissapeared, and I looked everywhere! SERIOUSLY. So the next thing I suspected was that some one took my keys. I asked them to check their bags. Then they all left to go to a concert. I called and asked them, did they happen to see my keys in their bags, like if they happened to open their purse, dig in their pockets and realize they had someone else's keys. No. So the next morning I'm freaking out because I need my fucking keys. I was so stressed! Then I asked my sister to call them since they've left and were on the road to go home to check their bags one more time to make sure. 2 hours later she gets a fucking phone call saying that her friend had my keys after all.
LIKE WHAT THE FUCK?! GEEZUS FUCKING CRISTE WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU! AFTER ALL MY ASKING FOR YOU TO JUST FUCKING CHECK YOUR GODDAMN BAG TO MAKE SURE YOU DON'T HAVE MY SHIT, YOU FINALLY DO IT AFTER YOU'VE LEFT THE FUCKING CITY! WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU!!!!!
But, I was relieved. I said I wanted my keys by next morning, but they said they'll mail it express to get it to me by Tuesday. I couldn't make them drive back. So I was like fine. I called around, and it turned out I had a friend visiting my hometown, and could stop by my parent's work place to get my keys and bring it to me up in college. So here I am waaaaaaaiting for my keys.
Lonely Giiiiiiirrrl !!!!!
A picture from a short afternoon at the beach.
One of the assignments I have to do is make a class webpage for the class I'm interning in. Sounds like fun to me-- but my teacher wants us to make it using Mozilla Composer. Mozilla the web browser is different than Mozilla Firefox browser btw. Anywayz, that thing pissed me off so much! I hated making the tables because no matter what, I couldn't change the table borders. I kept getting tables with this embossed look. Not only that, but I tried making frames and Mozilla automatically deletes my code off. Like what kind of web-making tool is this supposed to be?!?!
I was tearing my hair out for a few hours, and finally gave up on changing the table borders... until tomorrow... ARGH!
I've had a lot of time to think lately, and I'm finally admitting it. I'm a lonely girl. I think that I've gotten so used to being by myself that I'd convinced myself it's normal or good, and I wouldn't change.
And there were some times when I tried to change, but I couldn't keep up my friendships, and they don't get deep. I always find some reason to stop hanging out with people, or make initiative. I hardly go out; I'm a hermit.
It's sad and funny because many people have told me that I give them the first impression I'm some sort of party animal with lots of friends. I'm NOT.
Getting older, but lacking experience. It's a depressing thought. I want to grow.
Top 10 Reasons Why Nobody Except My Sister Will Be My Only Roommate Next Fall (in third person):
In ascending order from bad to worse...
1. Your roommate is a Jehovah’s Witness. She requested that you not wear your shirt with the dragon on it because it’s the Devil.
2. Your roommate literally lives in your living room. Her bed, dresser, desk, and books are there. She sleeps next to you while you’re eating and watching tv. =P
3. The roommate you shared a room with had to confess to you that she let her boyfriend sleep in the bedroom while you’re away for the weekend. You’re OK with that, but she adds that she made him sleep in your closet so he can be near her but not NEAR her. LOL.
4. Your roommate decides to cook lots of food all week and bake cakes—then takes off for the break, and leaves you with the giant pile of dishes to wash before YOU can take off for the break. You wash it because you’re tired of mold.
5. Your roommate washes her dishes once a week. Her rice cooker begins to mold, so you place it outside on the balcony. You explain to her later that it’s to prevent from inhaling the toxins. She gets mad at you. (One time your dad comes to visit, shrieks, and informs that her rice cooker is growing moldy, and that it’s poisonous. You agree.)
6. Your roommate’s alarm clock sounds like a fucking car being broken into next to your bed every time it goes off. She doesn’t even turn it off after hours of ringing. You had to “dismantle” the alarm for her.
7. Your roommate’s boyfriend’s guy friends lay on top of you when you’re taking a nap. Then they denied it and started blaming each other. Then they blamed you.
8. While lying on the carpet, you feel something itchy. You look around and notice hair all over your bedroom and bathroom. You scream. It turns out your roommate who shares your room gave her boyfriend a haircut in the BATHROOM AND BEDROOM. And left the mess there while she goes home for the weekend. You wonder if it’s only the hairs on his head that were cut… or are there OTHER hairs? You scream again.
9. You come home in the middle of the night your roommate threw a party. The party thrower ditched her party, and is sleeping soundly in her bedroom with her boyfriend while two of her friends are making themselves comfortable in your room. One is lying on your bed and barfing on the side.
10. Your roommate signs everyone into a binding 12 months lease (when you wanted 9 months) because she can’t read the damn fine print. She’s a business major.
What’s great about having my sister as a roommate? My parents allow me to hit her. But I don’t think that would be necessary. =D
Saturday!
I am so glad it's Saturday. Ofcourse I woke up this morning-- and laid in bed for the next four hours just messing on the internet until I decided it was time to get up. Haha.
The school I'm assigned to is... pleasant. It's smack in the middle of the city, incredibly diverse, and unlike most inner city schools, the students are... high achieving. One of the reasons why I requested that particular school, besides wanting an ESL class, was because there are students from over fifty (I'm thinking eighty) different cultures and nationalities within. The campus population is only over 400. I'm in 4th grade.
Every day there's something that amazes me about the children, and the teachers. The kids love to read. They LOVE to read. I mean, right when they're finished with their work, they read until you have to drag them away from their books.
The students are pretty well-behaved, with the exception of some who are a bit social, and talk when they're not supposed to. But, that's really no big deal. I didn't noticed until the teacher pointed out, but our class is 2/3 boys.
During recess the kids in the same grades play together. There's this boy from another class that catches my eye-- he's quite obnoxious, and blurting out things like an anime character shouting out martial arts techniques. Playful, immature, and annoying. Well, one time I was walking and he was about 2 yards from me, and he put his hands together and yelled out "SUBSTITUTION JUTSU!" (Naruto reference fyi.) Cracked me up.
We were having a group discussion one day, and someone said they didn't like spicy food. Then someone else mentioned Tobasco sauce. So another student asked what Tobasco was, and one boy said that Tobasco was really nasty and could kill you. He also added that it was found in cigarettes. ...So cute.
We also had a student from the Salvation Army shelter. At first she was a little withdrawn, but she started opening up to me, we sat together during lunch, and she even stayed beside me during recess. But, by the end of the week, they found her a new home (even I knew of this before she did), and I won't be seeing her again.
Every day I come home, my feet REALLY hurt.
I'm not religious nor am I anti-religion. I just like these simple comics.
My butt ached when I woke up today.
For the past few days all I've been doing is moving. I'm back in college.
I've been buying all the million little things that a mini home needs, and carrying stuff up and down the stairs. I'm pooped.
And bored. My stupid friend said he'll leave me his tv, so I didn't bring one up. Turns out he didn't leave me his tv! AND the internet won't be installed here until next Thursday!
But I've managed to keep busy. I've been helping out my teacher set up her classroom of which I'll be student teaching this year. For the first time since high school I have a little first day of school anxiety, a different type. I'm afraid I'll dislike teaching after this, but I'm also hopeful that this will be a good learning experience, and help me become a great teacher.
Looks like some myotaku things are down. I'm unable to make any comments and other's webpages. And my popularity ranking hasn't been working for a few weeks. Not that I'm popular enough to keep up with my ranking. lol.
Relatives: Babysitting
It all started one day during the beginning of summer break when my dad's brother's wife who I refer to as my aunt asked me to babysit her grandchildren, which are my cousin's babies. She works in the summer, random days. I figured it'll be rude to say no, plus I don't mind, so I agreed to do it for a few days. FEW DAYS. She also offered me some money for it. I was enticed by the money, but I didn't want to make it my job-- 2 babies is a heck of a lot of work! My plan was to take care of them for at most 3 days and not accept the money so I won't be obligated to be on-call.
I don't mind taking care of the 2 year old, she is such an intelligent little butthole, but the 7 month old is difficult. The child would not stop crying. She's a crybaby, a big one. But I deal with it, and they are both adorable when they've had enough sleep and food.
Before I left my aunt tried to pay me, but I returned the money by leaving it on her kitchen counter. She called me again, and I returned to babysit, and she really forced me to take the money, and indicated that it was belittling to her if I didn't. So I babysat them for about 4 days, until I told her that I did not want to babysit anymore. It irritated me that she kept nagging me to bring along my little sister to play with them because I didn't like waking my sister early in the morning and make her babysit with me. My parents were also agitated because my auntie is afraid of telling her daughter-in-law to place the children in daycare instead of making us babysit for her. (There are also other deeper issues between my parents and my uncle and aunt that I won't get in to.) I don't blame my cousins for wanting their children to be under the care of relatives, but they leave it up to their mother who's afraid of telling them no.
I felt like I've helped them out enough, then I really tried to avoid her phonecalls, gave her excuses, and I even told her I do not want to babysit the children, but she wouldn't take no for an answer, and I couldn't put down my foot. But, I ended up coming over twice a week to babysit. I don't know if my parents said something to her, but she didn't call me for 2 or 3 weeks, and she suddenly called me again yesterday.
I told her I did not want to babysit, and once again she told me "one more time," and I'm like dammit, I felt sorry for the babies, and I said OK. I got really annoyed when she asked me to sleep over because she was going to leave early in the morning! Some people just keep pushing it. I refused to sleep over, but said that I will come over at 7.
So here I am, babysitting. The two are sleeping in separate rooms. Little buttholes.
She's so cute when she's not crying 80% of the time. =P
I don't know why, but it rained for three weeks where I live. Which is quite unusual considering my location. When it finally stopped raining and the sun came out, my sister looked out the window and exclaimed, "Whoa! Is it suppose to look like that?!" The sky was red, and the sun light gave everything a red tint outside. So I had to take some pictures.
I haven't been doing much around the house. I am so boring. Tomorrow we are planning a trip to the beach.
Anywayz, there's this comic called Jesus Is... posted in a university newspaper that I find pretty funny. I like it simply because Jesus is in it, doing everyday things.
BAD BOY BAD BOY BAD BOY BAD BOY BAD BOY
When I visited Viet Nam back in Summer 2000, one thing I looked forward to watching was, surprise, MTV Asia. I was pretty interested in the Asian pop-culture scene. Though, I didn't see any MTV Viet Nam, I did see some MTV Thai. I was really impressed that the videos didn't look cheap, well most of them, and the music was pretty catchy. There was one video that amused me, Bad Boy, by Joni Anwar. I thought it was pretty up-there for a video made 6 years ago, and it also intrigued me to see a guy that looked European sing Thai. Also, I like the opening shenanigan.
So I found it the other day, and after watching it again, I realized that there was actually a story in it. At first it seems like he's being a trouble-maker, but he's actually has a reason for what he does. Thought I'd share this. Warning, song's pretty cheesy.
Stressed me out...
