I've discovered "Tumblr" all thanks to LLP, but now I'm concerned for the citizens of United States (as though I wasn't before).

This image here, especially.



The caption said "This happened in North Carolina."

Is North Carolina a particularly dangerous place?

But speaking of Tumblr, I'm afraid I can't quite fathom what people write. What are "my feels" and "your face" and "claws my face"?

If I had actually lived in my world, I would have been 28 by now. Which blows my mind because I could not even imagine thinking that far ahead when I was in my world and yet, here I am in 2013. I missed 12 years.

A few things I just have to note:
- Why is it such a thing to hate Justin Bieber?
- I missed the London Olympics?! I missed the London Olympics with the SPICE GIRLS REUNION?!
- Oh my God. R.I.P. Whitney Houston. :( And Michael Jackson. :((
- I am doing half of my search on Wikipedia which is amazing because I've only just been introduced to Wikipedia when I got here. This website? Would have helped a whole lot for half of my assignments.
- Whose idea was it to come out with Crocs? They look like Fisher Price toys.
- Should I be glad or disappointed that I missed George W. Bush's presidency?
- I want to say we've advanced culturally, but looking at the number of bombing and attacks and shootings makes me almost think otherwise. Ugh.
- That includes Westboro Baptist Church. UGH.
- Facebook. Twitter. YouTube. And the best one.. Tumblr. All I have to say is that it's a good thing I had completed most of high school before any of these came out.

If that much is throwing me into a loop, damn, I can't imagine how its like for people who even came in before the 90s.

What is wrong with you mortals?

I went to the animal shelter today to adopt a kitten, and as I was looking at the various animals there, I spoke to many of them and was utterly appalled by the stories they told me.

Why would you do such things to animals? Do you do such things to your own children? Why do you not speak to them, and learn their tales, and tell them what you wish of them? So many of them wish only to please, and desire only friends.

The more I discover about Men, the more they disgust me.

I did, by the way, adopt this kitten:



I hope, when he is ready, he will tell me his name.

I ain't even sure if I understand what all this is about. I was just doin' just fine at home.

One of the things that I really miss from home was having the wide open spaces of my backyard to run. I'm sure that if I looked hard enough, I could find somewhere around here that would serve the same kind of purpose, but it's really not the same -- that and I don't think I could really escape the crowds which would make galloping about as a horse a lot more difficult.

At the end of the day, though, I think that it might be the solitude of running alone in the fields that I miss the most. Flying helps, but it's just not the same.

It could be worse, though! I've seen much wor So I really can't complain that much.

I decided to sign up for a couple more classes. Specifically Modern Culture, Cooking and Introduction to Present Day and Place Technology. I don't know what to think but they should be helpful? I mean Being Human is a good class too.

I tried sugar the other day. It was odd, I don't know what to make of it. Not sure if I like it. It's not lettuce or other vegetables. I might stick with those for now.

I think it's close to a month since I've been here. As nice as having everything given to us like this, a place to stay with heat and electricity and furniture and all, there's still something that's unnerving. I was in a large battlefield, complete with the U.S. Army and spaceships with lasers attempting to kill everything in sight, and within a few seconds I'm here.

Don't get me wrong.. thank you, to whom it may concern for everything, and this has little to do with you and more to do with... my head, I guess. Somehow, all the peace and quiet (trust me, even with the protestors, this is still considered peace and quiet compared to what I experienced) is somewhat unnerving. Half of the time I feel like I'm just going to realize I'm actually in a coma or something and this is all an elaborate dream. Or worse, that someone is purposely tampering with my brain right now and putting imagines in my head.

And I don't know why I'm writing this here but hey, if this really isn't real, it doesn't matter, right? Maybe I'm just not able to adapt that quickly or something. So maybe it's just me. In any case, I just had a mini-ramble that I will probably feel embarrassed about tomorrow, so I think I might just go morph into a bird and take a cruise in the midnight air now.

So this might sound like a stupid question but.. what now?

I mean, college wasn't a choice back home and getting a job was out of the question. Here, I don't really know what I'm doing and I'm still trying to catch up. I don't really have any useful job-related skills and I'm pretty sure I'd be way behind on college classes.

I'm used to just being alone but I started actually liking being around people aga I might've already started to go a little stir-crazy being alone in an apartment. Sooo, what now?

Is there something about tall females and males can't handle? I don't know what it is, but I keep getting comments like "What do you parents feed you?" and "You should never wear heels."

Today I got "You're taller than me. Why are you so tall?"

So I responded with "To make you feel inadequate. Is it working?"

What is this news I've heard that someone has CHARMED A BROOM TO FLY!?!?!?!? Has this actually been done? And if so, HOW CAN I DO IT? I need to get back in the air again! And there are 2 lovely ladies I want to take flying.

Julie and Rainbow Dash, I believe we need to make arrangements!

The two most interesting events of this week in my life: I went flying and Cassie's dog peed on me.

I think it's time I got a hobby or something. Or went out looking for something to punch Or a job or something but I have a feeling New York City doesn't really allow certain jobs for under-aged people.

TRIGGER WARNING: DISCUSSIONS of Rape Culture, Sexism, Trans-Phobia, Homophobia, Classism, Racism etc

Clarity is, I think, always the best policy. Today, people were somewhat shocked and offended when I implied that humans are born stupid, selfish little assholes and as they grow, while they think they become smarter and perhaps even believe they become less self-centred... more often than not, they don't. People are almost all assholes from birth until death, and I thought it might do everyone some good if I explained what I meant when I say asshole. This isn't a complete list, but I also think it would be almost impossible for most people to get through it without having to checkmark off a few things for themselves.

So as Bill Nye might say, Please... Consider the following:


YOU MAY BE AN ASSHOLE IF )

Back in my world (which is something I'm still new to saying), our planet was being taken over by an alien race, and I sometimes had this vision of me and my friends in the future having written about our adventures after saving the planet. Only sometimes because mostly my daydreams of the future depicted us still fighting an arms' race that would take maybe decades to win. I'm a realist.

So, seeing that we have about 54 books and then some that already talk about our adventures is just about the most bizarre I have seen my life get. And trust me, it's been pretty freaking bizarre. Now the question is if I read them all or not.

Okay, maybe not all since some of them were written in my perspective and I know that shit already.

Idiots. Nothing like a fat, drunk slob to argue your point.

As far as alternate universes or realms go, I'm glad I at least fell into one that looks relatively normal. Not that I would really remember all of them if I fell into anything unusual but I've heard that's how they just work. You never remember the one you land in after you leave it... but as long as there's not something that's trying to kill me, I'm fine with it. Even if I missed years 2002 to 2012.

Hi, I'm Rachel and I just arrived yesterday, after getting pulled out of a suicide mission a serious predicament. Counting my blessings.

Hello, everyone. My name is Virginia Potts. I'm better known as (and answer to) the moniker that Tony gave me many years ago, Pepper.

I wanted to take a moment to welcome you all to the Refugee Network. Tony Stark - as well as many others - created the network so you would have a safe space to talk without the prying eyes of the media. I'd like to give them a warm thank you for their hard work.

Some of you have been here for a while, and as of today, the Tesseract has given us more refugees than it has in the previous five months, and it's still going. I'd like to take a moment to thank the hard-working men and women of S.H.I.E.L.D. for their diligence and perseverance. Without their quick thinking when refugees began to appear, this would have been nearly impossible for any one of us to handle.

And on that note, Director Fury has asked me to pass along the message that they are in dire need for Administrative Staff to help with processing. Anyone who is interested can pass on a note to your Housing Assistant.

Speaking of, there should be one Housing Assistant per two floors (and in one case, three floors). Should you require any assistance, they should be able to help you. Potts Tower is not a new building, but we have gutted it, given it an ARC reactor for clean energy, a full service gym in the basement, an outdoor patio and pool area, and an entertainment area. We plan to utilize all of these areas in the upcoming holiday season in the hopes that it helps alleviate some of the melancholy of being without your families.

Once again, welcome to the Refugee Network and Potts Tower, and I look forward to getting to know you.

-Virginia Potts
