' oh kiss me, beneath the milky twilight '
I sat at the bleachers waiting for you, we had arranged to meet at 9am after your session. As always, you were late. You were hanging out with a group of guys, it didn't surprise me when you ran up to me apologising and tugging my arm.

I thought this would be an interesting tie in from Tulipe's earlier post.
On the night of Nov. 9, 1989, the Berlin Wall — the stark, menacing symbol of the Cold War — came crashing down, suddenly and dramatically.

On a balmy autumn day in Vancouver, a young man is longing for a walk outside in the sunshine, and deciding against it. Far easier for him to stay in his hotel room, cocooned in five-star luxury with a mobile phone that has run out of charge, safe at least from the girls chanting his name outside. Robert Pattinson, 23 and from Barnes in southwest London, ought still to be one of Hollywood’s beautiful dreamers, moving up the ranks of movie acting, enjoying his American adventure, his guitar, his good looks.

Every story has a beginning, i guess this is how everything started for me.
Ever felt that your teenage life was the most mundane, colorless and lifeless? Ever felt that you don't belong no matter how hard you tried to reach out?

CANNES, France–There are no crystal decanters of blood for Robert Pattinson to sip from, or milky white virgin necks to nibble upon.
Pattinson’s treats, arrayed before him on a glass table shaped like a kneeling Greek goddess, aren’t your typical vampire fare: a bowl of potato chips, packages of green apple mint gum and a box of See’s chocolates imported from the U.S.
The world’s sexiest undead man eschews all the caloric temptations, apologizing as he nips off to another room for a few drags on a Camel Lights cigarette before commencing this interview.

It took a moment for him to nd his voice. “No,” he said softly. “No, it wouldn’t be a problem at all.”They joined the throngs dancing by the re that night, causing the guards no end of consternation as they went right down among the populace and shook hands and exchanged greetings.

I am going to give you my personal look at Obamacare from a perspective which may seem a bit strange but in reality it should be alarming. The interesting thing is that most of all of my childhood I went without even some of the basic things people assume most everyone has. The only healthcare I had as a child was Medi-cal...which is the program upon which Obamacare was designed.
My father worked several part-time jobs as well as his full-time job as a Baptist minister. He did everything possible to provide for us, worked his fingers to the bone and still managed to comfort the people in our church and help them deal with their own problems. Not once did any congregation we served bother to possibly consider that making sure the minister and his family had any healthcare or even some of the basic necessities in life was one of their priorities. They did however call at any time of the day or night for his help and he was there for them.
Sometimes our whole family was there for them. I was a very experienced babysitter, cook, and housekeeper before I was even 11. This is not bitterness I speak from---it is my attempt at revealing to you that many who are among the uninsured are hardworking people often working in service-oriented positions which simply aren't offered healthcare.
So....let me get back to Medi-cal......the mentor of Obamacare. When I hear people on the Obamacare bandwagon I think they probably don't really understand what they are supporting. Many have never been on medi-cal.

> When choosing to go to college I picked a place as far from home as possible. That meant Pennsylvania and I'm from Hawaii. As a freshman in college I have dealt with the awkward adjusting period and find myself quite happy here.

I thought women usually had problems mainly with their mother in laws.
My problem is my retired father-in-law-to-be. Father in law tends to buy a one-way ticket - often leaving his wife at home - the day before he travels and just informs us he's turning up. Leaving my partner and I to buy a return ticket - not by mutual consent mind you (my partner bleats that his father is "just trying to help" or "that's just the way he is" in response to my every objection) - but usually because I've had to nag for a week or two to get it, causing problems between the pair of us.
