The only reason I like that video is because of MIA and how… unenthused she is about the whole process.

The video is kind of shit. Song’s… alright, but MIA’s part should be longer. Spare me Nicki Minaj’s Roman, though. I love the girl and her music, I really do, but I always skip the Roman Zolanski songs.

ADORABLE. That hat is ridiculously cute

I know, right? That’s my best girl right there. I wish I had some pictures of her sister as well, but Earn doesn’t really take well to being photographed.

Yeah, the resource officer usually has their own office and is on call to deal with fighting and shit if it breaks out in the hallway. I didn’t realize that wasn’t normal, although I guess it seems odd talking about it now.

It is legit blowing my mind over here. We don’t really do that, usually it’s teachers dealing with it, followed by the parents and then, possibly, the social services therapist or something. The general policy seems to be that if kids are getting into drag out brawls at school, something’s a lot not right.

So yeah. No police officers. We don’t even have hall monitors, or the adult equivalent, beyond grade 6, if even that.

The resource officers (police officers permanently assigned to a school) keep it toned down pretty well, but there is still some ridiculous shit. And I didn’t even go to a bad school - I went to a rural utopia compared to, say, Charlotte schools.

There are police officers permanently assigned to schools?! Whaaaat?

I mean, okay, I grew up in the boondocks, I was kind of sheltered, but my high school was in a decently large city and we never had that shit going on. The only time the cops came to school was when they were informing about drugs or drunk driving or some such shit. 

Christ. Hardcore.

It’s definitely not that bad at EVERY high school, but it does happen. There were kids at my school that peed on another kid’s locker and then set some trashcans on fire, and the resource officer often has to break up bloody fights in the hallway.

That’s just… I mean, I got coke pored into my pants, and some other kid got his head smashed into a locker only kind of by accident (but that was a case of the bigger bullies picking on the smaller ones, so excuse me if my sympathy for that dude is limited), but they were pretty isolated incidents, and it was junior high in the boondocks at a shit school so you’d expect worse things. But even in an inner city high school, I barely ever heard anything like that. No bloody fights, no fires, nothing like that. At least nothing obvious anyway.

I’m just glad that being Southern is finally shorthand for something other than ‘slack-jawed yokel’ or ‘naive country bumpkin.’

She is badass, no lie.

I dislike the word ‘brony’ on principle, but I fucking LOVE Applejack.

I’m pretty sure Applejack is actually my spirit animal. Also, Southern, and for some reason I love that shit like… like a pony loves daffodils.

It does look painted on. Creeepy.

Oh, I’ve seen that! But I didn’t actually remember that, it was just the way she was sitting on the throne, being bored all the time.

That’s rough, buddy. (empathetic!Zuko strikes again!)

At least it’s better than emo douchecanoe Zuko.

Yeah, between the HONORRRRRRR and the crazy sister, the skills don’t really surprise me too much. He probably had to develop them just to survive.

The sister IS suitably loco. Awesome skills or not, his planning leaves some to be desired. Sheer determination isn’t going to be enough, dude, Jesus.

It’s the moon thing at the North Pole again. Sokka’s first girlfriend turned into the moon again, you know.

I’m voting for JUST THAT GOOD, but that’s because I love me some Zuko, even when he’s an emo dickhead.

Yeah, he is scarily good at what he does, but, like, could anyone be THAT good? I wonder. Maybe the HONORRRRR is helping him along.

Evidently there’s actually a HUGE May Day protest going down in NYC right now, led by Anonymous.

Ooooh, awesome. Some shit needs to go down, I think.
