Top actress Choi Jin-sil was found dead Thursday morning in her home in what appears to be a suicide. She was found in a shower booth with pressure band wrapped around her neck.
Police says that her body was discovered by her family member at 6:15 and police arrived at the scene around 7:30. No suicide note was found. The details and circumstances of her death are still being investigated.
Choi has been under enormous pressure lately from rumors implicating her in the suicide death of TV actor Ahn Jae-hwan, husband of Choi’s close friend, comedienne Jung Sun-hee. Internet postings accused Choi of lending about 2 million dollars to Ahn, indirectly driving him to his death. Police arrested a 25-year-old securities firm employee in late September for initiating the false rumor in cyber space.
Choi debuted in 1988 on a TV historical drama and since then has played numerous leading roles in both TV and films. She rose to stardom in the romantic TV drama “Jealousy” in 1992, and starred in such hits as “You and Me,” “Bad Woman, Good Woman,” “Rose and Bean Sprouts,” and “My Rosy Life.” Her latest starring role was in “The Last Scandal of My Life” the spring of 2008, which put her back in the limelight as the most bankable middle-aged star.
While enjoying professional success, her personal life, on the other hand, has been full of ups and downs. She married then baseball star Cho Sung-min in December 2000, but divorced him five years later. They have two children, whose last name was changed from “Cho” to their maternal sir name “Choi” this year. Well-known for her fierce loyalty and strong friendship with a small group of celebrities, which include comediennes Jung Sun-hee and Lee Young-ja and models Lee So-ra and Hong Jin-kyung among others, she was apparently devastated by the death of Ahn and the ensuing rumors. The general public suspects that the stress from the recent string of events pushed her over the edge and prompted her to take her own life. Her body is currently at rest in Samsung Medical Center in southern Seoul.

’90s TV Icon Discovered Dead in Her Apartment
Top Korean actress Choi Jin-shil has been found dead in her Jamwon-dong apartment in Seoul. According to police, Choi was found dead by her mother on the morning of October 2 at 6:15 a.m. The police are currently investigating the details of the incident but tentatively concluded that the actress had committed suicide.
A police official said Choi had apparently hung herself with a compress in the shower booth. Close acquaintances say that Choi had been severely depressed after the recent suicide of actor Ahn Jae-hwan, who was the husband of her close friend and popular TV and radio host Jeong Seon-hee.
Choi had recently been at the center of unconfirmed rumors alleging that Ahn had owed her an enormous sum of money which she had lent to him as a private loan. Choi had denied the rumors and asked the police to investigate the matter. A couple of days prior to her death, the police indicted without detention a woman in her 20s for spreading the rumor online.

Actress Choi Found Dead in Apparent Suicide
By Park Si-soo
Staff ReporterActress Choi Jin-sil was found dead in her home in Seoul in an apparent suicide, police said Thursday, amid rumors linking her demise to the death of an actor last month.The 40-year-old Choi has been a national heartthrob for the past two decades appearing in numerous box-office hit films, dramas, and commercials.
According to Seocho Police Station, Choi’s mother found the actress hanging by an elastic bandage in a shower stall at her home at 6:15 a.m. and reported it to them at 7:34 a.m.
An investigation is under way into the exact cause of her death, but currently police are leaning toward suicide since Choi sent a text message to her makeup manager hinting that she would kill herself. In the message, she said “My dear, I hope you take care of my children if something happens to me.”
An autopsy was conducted at Kangnam St. Mary’s Hospital that night, with results due within days.
“Taking the evidence and testimony into consideration, we believe she apparently committed suicide,” Yang Jae-ho, a chief investigator said. “We will continue to look into the case to clarify the cause and other details.”
Investigators said Choi drank with her manager last night and returned home at around midnight. Crying before her mother, she said “I am disappointed in people who allege I pulled strings behind the death of (actor) Ahn Jae-hwan. I had nothing to do with his suicide.” Then, she entered the bathroom and locked the door.
Waking up at around 4 a.m., her mother entered her room and learned Choi was still in the bathroom. As there was no reaction to her knock, she called a maintenance man to open the door at 6 a.m.
Ahn, the husband of popular comedian Jung Sun-hee, was found dead inside his car in early September also in an apparent suicide using toxic fumes generated by burning charred briquettes.
Rumors have since circulated on the Internet that Choi had lent billions of won to Ahn, who was reportedly shouldering huge debts due to his faltering business. Rumors also said Choi pressured and even threatened Ahn to get her money back.
Choi had asked police to investigate the origins of what she called groundless stories, and a securities company official was arrested this week on suspicion of spreading the rumor that Choi lent 2.5 billion won ($2.5 million) to the late actor.
On Wednesday, the actress went to a studio to shoot a commercial, but this was canceled halfway through due to her poor health. Choi’s partner at the shoot, Sohn Hyun-joo, said she looked very weary. “Her face looked really bad and she found it difficult to continue and had to stop after two hours,” Sohn said.
Born in Seoul on December 24, 1968, the all-smiling Choi jumped to stardom in the 1990s after appearing in a TV commercial for a Samsung video tape recorder.
Despite her professional success, her personal life was tough. Her manager Bae Byung-soo was killed by Choi’s driver in 1994, and Choi was called to testify in the case. In 2000, Choi married Cho Sung-min, then a popular baseball player, but this ended in an ugly divorce in 2004. She is survived by her two children.

I really liked her…T_T Why is everyone I like suddenly dying?
I’ll miss her.
Ever since losing their home at the Seoul Arts Center due to a fire that broke out during the “La Boheme” performance last December, the National Opera of Korea has been going through a tough time.
Yet now, with its newly appointed artistic director Lee So-young, a well-known opera producer, the NOK seems to be getting its affairs back in order. Since their successful performance of “Carmen” in July, the company is set to stage a new work, “Salome,” starting Oct. 2 at LG Arts Center.Lee chose to stage “Salome” – considered one of the most controversial modern operas – for the first time in Korea. It is a part of the company’s “My Next Opera” series, which intends to introduce some rare works that have not been staged in the country before.
“Because of the sensual costumes and performances, the piece has been receiving extreme critiques. I felt like the piece was no longer provocative in the 21st century,” Lee said at a recent press conference in Seoul.
With music by Richard Strauss and scripts adopted from the play of the same title by Oscar Wilde, the story is about.
While the drama was a huge success in Germany when it premiered in 1905, it was soon banned from other theaters. The charge was that it insulted characters in the Bible.It deals with a peculiar love-hate relationships between King Herodes who loves his step daughter Salome, and Salome who is in love with the prophet Jochanaan, who refuses to accept her affection.
What makes the work sensational is the famous 12-minute voluptuous “Dance of the Seven Veils” – in which Salome dances as she takes off seven layers of her clothes in front of King Herodes to make him execute Jochanaan’s.
For this production by the Venezuelan-German director Carlos Wagner, however, Salome will not be taking off any of her clothes.
“I tried to develop a story where a girl, Salome, becomes a woman through the dance,” Wagner said.
Saying that he tried to be true to the text of Wilde, Wagner stated that he intended to show Salome’s emotional nature, rather than her body, during the dance, since the “Dance of the Seven Veils” is neither mentioned in the Bible nor Wilde’s play.
Instead, the producer decided to dress King Herodes in red underwear and a fur coat, which made the original cast, who were not feeling comfortable with the costume, back off. This so-called “red underwear incident” forced the National Opera of Korea to make last-minute cast changes.
Another challenge was the small orchestra pit at the LG Arts Center. Conductor Christopher Lee said it is hard to show the colors of Strauss’ music with a 40-piece orchestra; the original performance used a 120-piece orchestra.
Lee said he will do his best to make it work by using two electrons – electronic keyboard instruments – in place of the brass.
Sopranos Han Hye-jin and Lee Ji-eun will double in the role of Salome, while veteran German tenor Gerhard Slegel will play King Herodes.
“Salome” will be staged from Oct. 2 to 5 at LG Arts Center in Yeoksam-dong, Seoul. Tickets run from 30,000 won to 90,000 won. For details, call (02) 586-5282 or check out www.nationalopera.org

I have nothing to say to this. No opinions. Have a happy and safe day^^
Despite its top-notch cast, stellar script and near cinematic perfection, SBS’ new Wednesday and Thursday night series, “The Painter of Wind,” failed to win audiences over last week.
The period piece drew in nationwide viewer ratings of 10.6 percent (AGB Nielsen Media Research) following its first episode, which aired last Wednesday. Its low ratings placed it below the rival dramas MBC’s “Beethoven Virus” and KBS’ “The Land of the Wind,” which scored nationwide ratings of 16.5 percent and 15.9 percent (AGB Nielsen Media Research) respectively.The second episode of “The Painter of Wind” fared only slightly better, with a mere 0.5 percent increase in ratings (AGB Nielsen Media Research).
But the drama’s poor track record hardly does it justice. While ratings may reflect viewers’ preferences, they do not represent a series’ quality. Nowhere is this more evident than in the case of “The Painter of Wind.”
Based on the best-selling novel of the same name, this drama – which reinterprets and rewrites the lives of leading Joseon Dynasty painters Kim Hong-do and Shin Yun-bok – manages to fuse the artistic and human beauty of the rival series “Beethoven Virus” with the sweeping epic proportions of KBS’ “The Land of the Wind.”
Park Shin-yang and co-star Moon Geun-young bring star power and acting prowess to the game, pulling off their leading roles as mentor and pupil, lovers and comrades, with stunning depth and complexity.
If “The Painter of Wind” has an Achilles’ heel, it is that it chooses to focus on art. For the average television viewer, the combination of art and history can come across as boring and long-winded.
“It is a difficult drama,” admitted director Jang Tae-yoo at a press conference on Sept. 17. “It is challenging to make art interesting. I don’t know how much of it will get communicated to audiences.”
Judging from the first two episodes, Jang and his team have succeeded in breathing new life into a potentially stuffy genre. Soft and sweeping shots of aspiring court painters putting brush to paper and tipping back wine while ogling gisaeng (Korean geisha) offer an entirely new portrait of the Joseon Dynasty.
While the series retains the usual elements of intrigue and murder, politics and warfare take a back seat. Romance and the essence of the late Joseon Dynasty, an era of reform and cultural renaissance, come to the forefront, imbibing the period piece with a strong sense of humanity and intimacy.
More importantly, the series takes on an approach reminiscent of lush period pieces like E. J-yong’s “Untold Scandal” (2003), by focusing on issues of sexuality and gender.
Posing the classically Shakespearean question: “What if the famed painter Shin Yun-bok had been a girl pretending to be a boy?” the drama – like the original novel – toys with themes of homosexuality and forbidden love while highlighting the inequalities of a male-dominated society.
Actress Moon took up the challenge of playing girl-turned-boy Shin Yun-bok. And she does a surprisingly good job of portraying a confident and rebellious girl struggling to make it in a world ruled by men.
“I tried to copy my older male co-stars,” said Moon, 21, at the press conference.
The precocious actress did more than just mimic her male colleagues. Within the first two episodes, she managed to convey the mischievous and anguished nature of her character, at times playing a sweet and innocent tomboy, at others, a cocky and seductive painter.
Though there is no evidence that the real Shin was a woman, his talent at capturing the beauty of women and creating exquisite intimate paintings remains undisputed.
Known by his pen name, Hyewon (b. 1758), he is remembered today as one of the “Three Wons” of Joseon-period painting.
The other two include fellow genre painter Kim Hong-do a.k.a. Danwon (1745- c.1806) and 19th century painter Jang Seung-up (1843-1897) – otherwise known as Owon.
While Kim enjoyed a relatively prominent career as an artist, fellow painter Shin – who was expelled from the royal painting institute, Dohwaseo – lived a more obscure life.
“The Painter of Wind” takes historical liberties with the lives of Kim Hong-do and Shin Yun-bok, depicting a full-blown romance between Kim, played by Park Shin-yang, and Moon Geun-young’s character, against the backdrop of 18th century Korea.
“The Painter of Wind” airs on Wednesday and Thursday nights on SBS at 9:55 p.m.

I’ve only seen the first episode, thanks to my sweet Unnie who sent it to me, but I liked it. It has a good plot and the actors seem to portray the characters well. Park Shinyang is proabaly the reason though^^
Hope everyone can watch a bit of it one day.
First off, Tayku has PnuemoniaT_T. I had been trying to contact her the past few days and fially went to her house today. She’s sick in bed and has no strength to get up and post on here. I guess that only leaves me.
On to the real news… Seo Taiji(My god of everything that is sexy) had a concert. I really wish I had been there. It sounded like a lot of fun. I’m a really big fan of his. I’ve heard everything he has ever put out. Oh, by the way, he has a new mv out. T’ik T’ak. He’s just too… Forget that thought.
About his recent concert…
As if to persuade the audience that his moniker, “The President of Culture,” isn’t an overstatement, Seo Tai-ji lit up Seoul World Cup Stadium on an unseasonably chilly night Saturday.
Fusing two seemingly antithetical genres, the 36-year-old rock star and The Royal Philharmonic Orchestra created an epic sound that shook the stadium.
The grandiosity of the 65-piece orchestra, led by England’s Tolga Kashif, paired with Seo’s music was not only seamless, but the infusion was so perfect that there will likely be fans who cannot fathom listening to his music in its original form again.
The performance was a blending of violins, violas, cellos, oboes, trumpets, kettle drums, chimes and even a harp, all of which was accentuated by the thrashing sounds of metal from Seo’s camp.
A comparison to Metallica’s concert with the San Francisco Symphony in 1999 is inevitable, but the difference here is that Metallica’s devastating metal sound chewed and consumed the orchestra they performed with through a bombardment of ripping guitar riffs and Lars Ulrich’s obnoxious drumming.
Seo and Kashif, on the other hand, seem to have focused more on how they could blend the best characteristics of classical arrangements which would complement Seo’s eclectic hard rock. It proved a success on all fronts.
The show kicked off with a laboriously long intro featuring a repetitious laser show on the Jumbo-Tron that was more like a Windows Media screensaver.
Just when it got to the point of slight annoyance, the giant screen slowly split down the center to reveal the man of the hour.
The stadium roared with chants and cheers as the “president” arrived.
By the end of “Take 2,” the fans were warmed up and ready to have their engine revved.
It was Seo’s third song, “FM Business,” that triggered seismic activity in the stadium. From there, it was everything goes and the 30,000 fans never let up.
Seo easily fluctuated between a delicate voice that created an initial calm and a rage-fueled vocal that entranced the audience, such as his 1993 hit, “Swamp of Death.”
Just before performing his newest single, “Moai,” he asked, “Tonight, I would like to bring you with me on a journey. Would you like me to take you there?”
Because of his reclusive reputation, this figurative invitation made the crowd go wild.
What followed was a more serene orchestral version of his newest anthemic single that was perhaps a bit too downbeat, given that it’s supposed to be an uplifting song.
Regardless, the blending of the Philharmonic Orchestra created an almost otherworldly atmosphere accompanied by abstract animation on the Jumbo-Tron that was most likely Seo’s intention. It worked.
Near the halfway point, Seo decided to do a bit of market research – with irony, of course. He asked the audience their age range. As it turned out, most were career men and women, along with quite a few college students. There were even high school and middle school students, which was a testament to the appeal his music has had for more than 15 years. He reinvents himself with each record.
Standing out from the rest of the set was the performance of “T’ik T’ak Fantasia” and “Classroom Philosophy,” which incorporated the 60-member Paju City Choir that enhanced the grandiose theme of the concert.
“Classroom Philosophy” was preceded by a short scathing commentary by Seo on the conditions of the Korean education system.
“I feel really bad for our youngsters to have to go through such a horrific educational system here in Korea. Nothing’s changed since the release of this song and it saddens me,” Seo said before bulldozing through the tune with chaotic fervor.
Signaling the coming end of the show, Seo obligingly introduced his band before tipping his hat to the conductor Kashif.
“I am truly grateful to The Royal Philharmonic and The Paju City Choir for enduring months of rehearsals in preparation for this concert,” Seo said.
“And, last but not least, please give the man who lost many hours of sleep to make all of this happen applause – Tolga Kashif everybody.”
With Seo’s career-defining first hit, “I Know,” The Great 2008 Seo Tai-ji Symphony came to an end, leaving the fans wanting more. That’s the best time to exit the stage for a man who has been one of most influential figures in contemporary Korean music.

I really wanted to go! Taiji! I have yet to see him in concert… I’m always out of the countryT_T
Hope everyone can like his music^^ If you happened to have been there… please leave a message. I wonder if Dongmin and Jungin went. Have a good day^^
The Hollywood remake of the 2001 Korean box-office hit “My Sassy Girl” will open nationwide in Korea on Oct. 30, according to the film’s domestic distributor, Showbox.
Starring Jesse Bradford (“John Tucker Must Die”) and Elisha Cuthbert (“The Girl Next Door, 24″), the Yann Samuell-directed remake of the same name will be similar to the original, aside from the location and the female lead re-imagined as a wealthy socialite.
Set in New York, the movie tells the story of an everyman’s romantic involvement with an eccentric, free-spirited woman.

Somehow, I don’t think it will be half as good. I’ve only ever watched the subbed version because of my lack of understanding of the Korean language, so… again, Minjee will edit this, as she has most likely seen it. ^^ I rely too much on her. Here’s hoping it fails miserably is a hit.
“EDIT“ Hello! Of course it won’t be as good. No offense to anyone, but anytime Hollywood remakes a great asian classic it always loses its appeal. Ah, but, really I hope people enjoy it. Maybe than they’ll want to watch the original. From what I remember of it(It’s been a few years.) it had a good storyline. The plot was simple and easy to follow. Hope everyone enjoys the remake as much as the original was enjoyed.
Renowned writers from China and Japan are to visit Seoul later this month to attend a forum on East Asian literature, organizers were quoted as saying by Yonhap News Agency.
Leading Japanese playwright and writer Inoue Hisashi and Chinese author Mo Yan, who gained notoriety with his novel-turned film “Red Sorghum,” will visit South Korea to participate in a seven-day East Asia Literature Forum starting on Sept. 29, announced Daesan Foundation, a Seoul-based literary organization.
The forum is the first of its kind and was established to promote exchange and understanding between the writers of South Korea, China and Japan.
Some 50 writers from the three East Asian countries will participate in the forum, including Chinese author Tie Ning, whose short story “Ah, Xiangxue” won a Chinese national award in 1982, and Su Tong, best known for his book “Wives and Concubines,” which was later adapted into the acclaimed film “Raise the Red Lantern.” Japanese writer Masahiko Shimada, a self-described left-wing author, will be in attendance, as will Keiichiro Hirano and Risa Wataya, winners of Japan’s prestigious Akutagawa Prize at the ages of 23 and 19 respectively.
Hwang Sok-yon, a South Korean novelist sentenced to 7 years in prison in 1993 for an unauthorized visit to North Korea and freed by presidential pardon from former President Kim Dae Jung after serving five years, will also take part in the forum, the foundation said.

I don’t know anything about these people… so, Minjee will edit this later and give her input.^^ Much love and support…
“EDIT“ Hello! This is Minjee. I’ve been gone a long time, right? A week with my family was what I needed. I got to speak my native tongue nearly the whole time. So glad! Now, on to this post. Mo Yan! I haven’t read many Chinese novels, but I really enjoyed reading his. Red Sorghum is one of the best books ever… of the chinese ones. And Hwang Sokyon, too? Ah, I really want to go home now. ^^I guess I have to settle for second-hand news.
Tayku-ah, everyone, sorry for leaving without telling anyone and for being gone so long. Just, I had forgotten about Oppa’s thing he had to go to. Again, sorry. Very, very sorry. I’ll make it up to everyone, I really will. I can’t reply to the emails at the moment. But, CutieFruitie, ask away. I love questions, and I’m happy to tell you about myself. ^^ Anyway, on to what I’m here for. It’s been about a week so I think I might have to do separate post to tell everything in full detail.
Okay! So I don’t confuse anyone I’ll try to use real names. Because if I said ‘Oppa’ for everyone I call Oppa… I think it would get very confusing.
As Tayku already knows Youngwoon(my older twin brother) got to go play at some mini concerto. Well, I had forgotten it was this week up until Mom told me to start packing. Which is why I didn’t tell anyone. The drive up there was long and boring and I forgot my laptop and Youngwoon wouldn’t let me use his. So I read. All the way there. It was some place in Georgia… My mind can’t think of a name though. Northern Georgia… Does that help any? Ah, anyway. We stopped at the hotel. VERY boring first day. Then we woke up and Youngwoon was dressed so cutely. I really could have pinched his cheeks. He had on a suit with a little tie and those shiny cufflink things. He asked me to do his hair. So dependent on his little sister. So I styled it to the side which made him look even cuter. Tayku-ah, you would have squealed. Then we had to go to a rehearsal. Or was it breakfast? I’m not sure, when we got to the actual building everyone was sitting on the stage eating breakfast. Me being like I am, I dove in when asked if I wanted to join. Eventually they practiced but… still, isn’t that a bit… I don’t know.
I left half-way through. Didn’t want to taint the actual performance I would see later. I took my hard-earned money and did something I never do. I spent it on myself. I bought a few things for other people, but the most important thing is, I bought a new handphone. Tay, I’ll send you the number later.
I met someone… but that’ll be later too.
Hours later~~~ We take our seats close to the front of the stage. The lights dim and a big man comes from behind the curtain. Blah, blah, blah… I didn’t pay attention to him. Then the first act. It was a big band(?) with almost every kind of instrument. I spotted Oppa in the middle and to the left. They played something classical. I’m sure it was by Bach as I’ve never been a big fan. Well, I don’t know everything he’s made. Not like my Mozart. It ended. Everyone stood and bowed. We all applauded. More acts… I can’t remember them all. Ah, but, I’m happy, ‘Piano Concerto No. 21 in C Major’ was played. One of my favorites. Then solo cello performance. Ah~ It was beautiful. It was a short skinny girl and she really… I don’t have words for it. I almost had tears. I think all the instrumentalist had solos. More people… I was happy and excited and so many emotions. Close to the end was Youngwoon. He walked to the center of the stage and bowed. He gave a big smile to Mom and Dad and me. He set his violin next to his chin(?) and brought the bow up. There was a pause. I think he was taking a breath. Then he started. He played Chausson Poeme. If you know anything about it you know it’s difficult. It’s in E flat minor. So sad though. And when he struck the last note… everyone stood and applauded and… I was wiping my eyes and trying to clap at the same time. I looked up just in time to see Youngwoon wiping his eyes too(우.우)
There’s something I didn’t know though. Oppa has fans. No really, fans? But, that’s for later too.
On with the story. After everyone settled down Youngwoon set the violin again. I was startled at first. I had forgotten he had two solos. My mind is really too bad. Youngwoon gave an impish grin to everyone. Then I remembered, this was one of his own pieces. The only one he’s ever written. It started out slow and soft but as the seconds rolled on it started to have a hint of speed to it. Then, without warning it exploded into a grand play of the higher notes dipping into the lower notes and rising again. He strained a part in the middle to give it some depth. Again without warning he ascended quickly. It ended with him just stopping. He gave that impish grin again as he lowered the violin to his side and bowed. I don’t remember the other performers. No, I remember the piano was last. A nice happy song to end the night, although she did hit a few wrong keys. ㅜ.ㅜ
That’s enough for today… ^^ My descriptions are… not good. ^^ So much more to say, but it can wait.
I’M BACK!!!
Tayku-ah, I’m back. We arrived home just hours ago and I was so tired I took a nap. Let me get some real sleep and gather my thoughts and I’ll begin to tell you everything.
Before I sleep, I have to tell you, Oppa was really good! His solo and then afterwards and, and, and… AH! I’ll tell you later. Smiles and love.
Forever Love,
Seo Minjee, your favourite big sister.
(RedLightBlackOut)
P.S. I got it all on my video camera… Thinking about putting it up. Oppa would be really mad if I did^^
HIGHLIGHT of the day. Sleep now, or I’ll never play soccer again!
I got a new handphone yesterday. The old one died. Call me at home and I’ll give it to you^^
You probably don’t know, but at the moment I’m living with my grandmother, Mamaw. As you probably also don’t know, I’m not christian. Actually I don’t really believe in anything. Ah, but Mamaw is a die-hard christian. Now you must know that she goes to church every sunday and has faith classes on wednesday and the r.o.c. on friday. She hates that I don’t believe in god. Ahaha, but I hate that there are times when she is racist. The past month or so she has been trying to change me. I like to wear my long-sleeved sweaters all the time. Even during summer. I like to listen to my music all the time. I like to be on the internet. I like to have my children(animals) visit all the time. I REALLY like bringing stray animals in and making them only like me. Oh, and I love to eat. She, on the other hand, says long-sleeves are for cold weather. Okay, I can handle that. She says I play my music too loud. I can barely hear it. So I turn it down. She says I need to get up and help her, that’s what I’m here for. I do. Just when she doesn’t need me I like to be on the internet. She says I can’t have my children over too much because they don’t like her. Well, what does she expect? They were all strays at one point and they only like me(Although they do like Minjee). She says I can feed the outside cats but I can’t bring them in. Why not? They’re sweet and adorable little children. Sure, I have Chullie and Saja(Sweety) but I’m really used to having cats.
I have changed alot since I first came here. Mostly for the better, as I’ve been trying to change my personality so I don’t come off as a complete anti-social(Although I am). I don’t mind changing when I’m the one trying to change myself. Fine, I’ll do everything she says because Minjee says I have to, but I will not, I repeat, WILL NOT, change my religion. Lately she’s been trying to force me to go with her to church. I can’t. I just can’t. I’ve changed too much for her sake. I’m getting tired of not being myself. I’ve decided. I’m going back to my old self. I’ve tried, I really have. Hu~ I’m just so tired. I want to be myself for once. I want to be Anti-social. I want to openly hate people again. I REALLY want to be able to go back to being myself. I miss saying what was on my mind. In the recent months I have gained so many problems. I’m used to saying the things that I think. I can deal with the lack of sleep. I’m used to it, me being an insomniac. I can deal with cutting down on my eating, because she’s trying to diet. I can deal with so many things, but there is a breaking point. I’m about to break.
Maybe it’s for the best if I do. I should just let her break me. I should give in. I’m tired… too tired to resist. Maybe tonight I’ll go to the r.o.c. with her. Maybe, I’ll just become a zombie like everyone else. Hahaha~ wouldn’t it be better than trying to fight someone 24/7? I’ll become just another person who wakes up and follows the crowd. That’s what she wants. That is what everyone wants.
I’ve been up for four days now, and my mind isn’t clear. I really need to sleep soon. As minjee has told me countless times, it isn’t good for my health. I miss her.
On a happier note, Minjee and Youngwoon and their Mom and Dad are comeing back tomorrow. Maybe I’ll visit and she’ll help me figure it all out. Tired~~~
Am sure most of you will not want to read this… but I have to get it off my chest. I HATE HER!!! It’s not that she’s a woman, not that she’s Christian, not that’s she’s white, but that she hates animals! How do I know this? Because she supports aerial killing of wolves and bears. If you don’t know anything about the process, let me tell you, it’s horrible. I usually don’t comment on American politics, as I really couldn’t care less. But this woman is… Argh! Seeing as I’m finally registered to vote, it has made me even more upset. I’m probably not making any sense, but I just learned of this today. ~~I haven’t been myself since Minjee isn’t here~~
I’m just pissed. I would rather have that Obama guy than have someone as fucked up as that woman. This is what got me:
Palin approved and expanded the state’s aerial predator control program, where wolves are shot from aircraft and bears hunted from aircraft and killed upon landing. This year, her state biologists even dragged 14 newborn wolf pups from their den and, having already shot their parents, then shot each of the pups in the head at close range. Last year, her administration offered a $150 bounty for each wolf killed until the bounty was ruled illegal by the courts. Hundreds of wolves are killed each year by this antiquated state program that has no scientific justification whatsoever, but rather is designed to appease Palin’s urban sport hunter supporters. ~~~From the Seattle Post Intelligencer~~~
And as Gandhi once said: “The greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged by the way its animals are treated.” Now, what exactly does that mean? Hmm? The last time I saw an animal being treated well, excluding my beloved animals, was nearly a year ago. And that was only because it was Chico and his owner is really nice. One year. Now what does that say? I’ve never been a big fan of my own country. I’ve never woke up and went, ‘Wow! I’m glad I was born in America!’. Now with this coming up… No, I need to stop ranting about the country, I’ll get to it later. Right now I need to clear my head and talk calmly about that… woman.
That woman, who I hate, is a waste of good meat that could be used to feed the wolves she wants to kill so bad. This is getting out of hand, I think. So I’ll leave you with some pretty pictures of the so-called sport she supports.
Disgusting, no?
How could anyone do this, seriously?
Can you really make yourself put her in power?
Their proud of it. See? So proud of their trophies.
These are just a few of the photos that popped up when i searched her name and aerial hunting. I’m sure you can find many more.
Now, I really have to make myself calm down, so bye.
