Hahaha guise. The bad guy in Mission Impossible is a Swede.

Why did no one tell me?

Evil Scandanavians are my favorite.

Could you pass the U.S. Citizenship test?

I got 10 out of 10. Sweet. Take a practice test here: http://www.americanhistory.si.edu/citizenship/

Hey, I got 10 out of 10 too!  But I think this online test is nothing like the real deal.  Most of us (citizens), just walking in off the street, would fail the real test. 
My dad came to the US at 18 and when I was 16— some twenty years later— he became a citizen.  
The real path to citizenship is time consuming, costs money, and is really hard.  There is no multiple choice.  You have to sit in front an immigration officer and answer these questions correctly, the first time, and in English.  When the officer asks you who the Chief Justice is, or how many representatives there are in Congress, or the actual name of the national anthem?  You don’t get to use deductive reasoning to make a logical choice.  So that is 3 questions you have blown.  You can get one more wrong. 
If you want to know what it is like to try and become a citizen in the USA, take a look at this handy flowchart

If there is one thing I do not get about tumblr, it is why, WHY, people hashtag every sentence in a paragraph?
You do realize that I cannot actually read the things you are saying, right?  
You said all those things.
Those things like poetry.
And I can’t read a fucking word of it.
Because it’s all underlined and jumbly and stupid looking.

I JUST DISCOVERED DRAMAFEVER

Streaming Love Rain in HD with subs. Oh my goodness.

If you want to use it outside the US, download [REDACTED], it’s perfect.

[REDACTED]

HEY THERE DRAMAFEVER.  Did you just reblog a way for users to get around the license agreements that you yourselves have made with content providers?

Do you.. want to think about that, for a sec?

“i really love metadata,” says no one.

You know what is a super good idea?  Repeating the exactly same metadata for 11 volumes of a document.  

11 separate volumes of totally different content.  

11 separate volumes with the exact same titles, descriptions, and keywords.  

Oh yeah.
