vent (readmore is iffy for me sometimes so my apologies if this gets dumped to the tl in full)
i keep dwelling on my dad and i really shouldnt but. idk
i used to idolize him a lot when i was young. my mom was really dedicated to work and was largely absent due to overworking herself and also had no hobbies, while my dad was ... like. a cool gamer. and also home a lot more. but i was also very afraid of him because he was often verbally abusive and scary to be around with horrific anger management issues.
but... its hard as a child to draw the line between 'normal parental scolding' and 'abusive yelling and genuine and constant fear', so i didnt think anything was wrong. i never even considered the fact that him and my mom splitting up could be his fault or an issue with the relationship and blamed myself and my grandparents. i only really let myself question it all when i was older.
once he split with my mom (the 2nd time) and moved he basically gave up trying to have a meaningful relationship. eventually, after a bunch of little. incidents. my therapist advised me to block his number and i did. but then, years later, he texted my mom asking about me and my sister, and i wanted to believe he changed but....
idk. even then, i think he only got in contact because he had split up with his gf. i tried so hard to keep up with it, but hed never initiate conversations, often neglect to respond or respond extremely late, and he has this habit of CONSTANTLY overexplaining why he cant get birthday gifts/christmas/etc . just. constant long stories of financial hardship. which is fine, i don't expect gifts, but it always just. overrides every conversation.
i dont even know how to communicate with him, because im afraid of him. if i have a problem, i cant say it in case i set him off. i cant say something he might disagree with. i cant be honest or candid. i want to believe he regrets the past, but he wont acknowledge it.
so i blocked him again, but i dont know. i feel like i should tell him and explain. i want to still keep giving him chances. hes rarely ever been a good father to me, but hes the only one i have. i dont want to be alone like this. but i also cant take it anymore. the constant stress of trying to fix the relationship and the radio silence. the constant fear that ill say something wrong. the knowledge that the only topic i feel 'safe' to broach is sending him a picture i drew. the realization that im not sure if he even retains anything i say to him or if it's all just a bridge for his next personal story. and the constant fear that it's all my fault. that if i was better it wouldnt be like this.
i dont know. i hate this. i wish i wasnt born.

the thing about the mod steph and mod nero of greatcomettexting is that i never got to parse out how icky they made me feel whenever i drew boundaries but i really want to because i still feel icky about it so ill warm myself some cawfee and do it now
nero talks a lot about how “none of us what REAL callout worthy things hes done!!” but i figure so long as my skins crawling about how obsessed they both were with me then i can risk his constant talk in every new server he joined about how he “has attempted literal actual murder” even if it was just him having an episode in high school and lobbing a brick
mod steph’s already had a huge history of not knowing when to draw boundaries with people and theres a dozen fucking people who can vouch for this because they all stopped talking to her once she started this weird shit. whether it was suicide baiting people into pitying her and listening to her for like all of 2017 or copy pasting other peoples vents to send herself(wild?) in the Vent Channel. clara talks a lot every one or two years about how much shes “changed” but she continually tests these boundaries to fuck around with people and nero isnt better in this respect at all. it felt like sometimes theyd realize something was a boundary for someone and then trigger it on purpose 
like. the first and biggest and weirdest thing is that nero and clara would take entire conversations i’d had years ago and roleplay them out WORD FOR WORD in text or on call. sometimes id get uncomfortable with how clearly they remembered each word in the conversation. this wasnt a one off thing, this went on from 2018 to today, and it really really disturbed me, but i had no idea how to talk to either of them about it, because when i did clara would act like she had no clue what i was talking about, and say shit like ““listen jules, i feel like this is one of those instances where you think somethings happening, but it isnt.” the excuse nero used for this was that “ive always thought jules was so cool” but that doesnt explain copying out entire conversations i had that he shouldnt really remember from as early as 2017. it did feel at times like he enjoyed taking on the role of me in these conversations and saying the things i said out loud. this got very very creepy very very fast
that brings me to the next thing which was this. weird obsessive fascination mod steph had with my approval. there is just so much shit.  she picked up her other name “clara” from a friend i have named kai who used to go by clara--the reason steph picked this name was because i would gush a lot about kai to her (which made me really happy because clara would have borderline suicidal breakdowns when i talked about my other friends.) she got really really fucking uncomfortable whenever i gave approval to anyone else too and would act like. a petulant child if i couldnt give her compliments she wanted. the most recent example of this was that i complimented someones selfie that wasnt hers she stayed cold to me for two days. i finally decided to ask her what was wrong and she admitted she had felt “kind of bad” when i ignored her selfie and when i asked her why she didnt communicate this to me, she explained she gets kind of “mean when shes high” (she doesnt, she has a bpd break for julesyboy’s approval when shes high.) she would also get super uncomfortable when i expressed attraction to Anyone, (romantic OR platonic) and begin comparing herself to them (why do this) on text and on call. a most memorable recent experience of this was when i explained to her in detail about a guy i like who’d bit his knuckle, and then she posted selfies everywhere of her blushing profusely and. biting her knuckle (and it really really wasnt the same, poor thing, she really did try.) theres dozens upon dozens of examples of this
and i realise that whole paragraph is wild and kind of funny if you think about it in the context of... like, a kid who admires the attention of their friend. but clara and nero would try their hardest all the time to test everyones boundaries to the point where it got way too weird. if nero knew something was specific to someones abuse he’d make sure to push them about it or make posts about how “weak!” it was for people to deal with “x and x.” or if someone were to expressed a self harming behaviour he would jump in w “OMG! LISTEN! I DO THIS TOO!!.” or he would make jokes about him “selling pics! this is just a reminder! :3 happy valentines day!” (same post, all platforms) before three of my friends who were sex workers approached me asking if this was a weird little joke. it really did feel like at times he said things he knew would shock people the most. and it really did feel like at times every time someone said something out of the ordinary he would. go out of his way trying to say he did that too, it wasnt a big deal. “it doesnt matter if youve self harmed yourself a lot, have i talked about how i once attempted murder yet. does that sound too edgy? i know people are scared of me... omg... omg omg.” and like this is all fine because if you hear his tinkly baby voice on call none of this shit is all that scary, no matter how much he talks about “how his friends think hes really really tough” (where are his friends.) but it does get a little weird when you think about how much of my trauma i confided in both of these two only to have nero blow it off, and how much they enjoyed doing that thing where they would roleplay out my conversations  from 2017 with nero in the role of saying the things i responded with.
the reason ive typed out this long ass post is bc it literally just made my skin itch a little. it still does. when nero and clara would Do The Thing where they played out jules’ old conversations and . when they would post a lot of selfies with captions like “ahhh i love myself! i promise!” only to see my pictures from 2017 and go “ughh... i was REALLY ugly back then, but i promise im pretty now! clara/nero was ugly too, not gonna lie!” before venting about how they were never satsified w their reflections in the mirror it was weird. when clara would vent every night i didnt compliment like. a fucking selfie of hers. about how Unloved She Truly Was it was weird. like bros i am an abused neet living at home and after im done college im fucking out of here forever... u have nothing to be weirdly obsessed about, and copying out conversations i had with you and things i said to years ago won’t make u love yourself any more
tldr: mods neroratio and stephclara were very microobsessed with my attention and with attention in general to the point where they would literally roleplay being me and act like i was “making things up in my head” when i asked them wtf was wrong. and if you remember them from greatcomettexting and admired them for speaking their truth then like. this is what they were like

HELLO everyone i am now ten days out from my tiddy surgery so i think while everything is still fresh-ish in my mind I should get a rough timeline of how things went for me, just so anyone having similar stuff done in the future can have it as reference?? 
so under the cut is how shit went down, warning we are gonna be tmi about it for Max Information Dissemination, i will be talking about IV placement, Needles, Bleeding, Bruising, Bathroom Stuff In General, etc. so like. Be Warned.
OKAY SO what did i have done and how did i get it:
- i got a bilateral breast reduction with a “T,” “keyhole,” or “anchor-shaped” incision. this procedure, unlike double-incision top surgery, does not detach your nipples at all, but it DOES leave a decent hunk of breast tissue behind to avoid the nip graft. this connecting tissue keeps your nip attached and supplied with enough blood to survive. that means with this one, theres basically a limit to how much they can take off, and it depends on how big you are to start off with. 
- i went with the T-incisions because as a NB person, I wanted to sidestep the “gender-confirming surgery” route with my insurance. technically, I believe it would have been covered if i had gone through the process of talking to a therapist and getting a note that the surgery WOULD help confirm my gender, but i suspect it would have taken much longer, and I was afraid that my doctor and community resources would not have ended up approving me FOR the surgery since I don’t exactly fit the typical trans narrative. and luckily for me i had Massive, Spine-Bending G Cup Tiddies to contend with. so every doc that took a look at me said “yeah, you need those taken care of for medical reasons.” so i thought hey, let’s see how far this will get me!
- i talked to my primary care doc about my back pain and mentioned i’d like to look into a breast reduction, and she referred me to a local surgeon who could do the procedure. at the time i was still entertaining the idea of double-incision, but as it turned out, this surgeon just didnt do that. but i knew for certain my insurance would cover him, his results were good, and he was local, so i said yes to the T-incisions, which he said would likely get me down from a G to at least a C. it wasnt my ideal scenario admittedly, but frankly the back pain was getting to be too much, and i needed it to be addressed sooner rather than later.
- i had a consultation with the surgeon in early december, and they took pictures and measurements to send to my insurance so they could confirm the tits WERE in fact Too Bomb To Live. Doc said that it varies between insurance companies, but most will have a minimum amount of tissue that needs to be taken off, in grams, from each breast. he was like, “your insurance needs at least 1000g total removed, which’ll leave you on the small side, is that cool?” and i was like “My Man, take AS MUCH as you possibly can, im sick of these” and he was like “cool, makes my job easy then.” 
- it took my insurance like 1.5 to 2 months to get back to me, but late january the surgery place called me and we set a date for february 5th, 2020!!
PRE-OP:
- before i went into surgery, the hospital made me go over my medical history with them over the phone, informed me of all the risks, and gave me a special scrub kit to shower with at home for the last 2 days before the surgery
- fun fact this soap will make your whole bathroom and body smell strongly and exactly like a hospital and it is gross as hell if you hate hospital smell
- i also had to go to my primary care doc to get the OK that i was healthy enough to go under general anesthesia, and also get some blood tests and a urinalysis done. i fucked up the urinalysis tho (which is a whole other story) so i had to redo that the morning of the surgery when i got to the hospital anyway. 
- when i scheduled my surgery they also gave me a list of things i had to NOT DO before i went in. this included stuff like avoiding herbal medications and non-prescription supplements and not drinking any alcohol for like 2 weeks prior to surgery, and not eating anything after midnight the night before surgery.
- then it was SURGERY DAY!!!
- i went in with uhhh a LOT of anxiety about what everything would entail, ngl. i knew i had to do it because staring down the barrel of life with tiddies forever was way scarier than surgery, but yknow whenever you go under general anesthesia they legally do have to let you know that you could die and thats just a lot to consider, PLUS the whole thing involves just, really mangling your torso so like. its a lot! its okay to be scared!
- both my parents went with me for moral support which i appreciated a lot, but i didnt actually see them much since they had to spend a lot of it in the waiting room.
- when i went back with the doc they had me Wash The Tiddy Off with some antiseptic and change into a gown. i got some grippy socks out of the deal which is probably not a universal experience, but this hospital did it so shoutout to them for the socks i guess
- then they asked me all my medical history stuff again and checked me for any like, rashes or open sores or anything. i had some Tit Zits but they did not seem to be worried about that.
- then the surgeon came in and drew lines on me for the incisions. bro when i saw how high up my nips were gonna be i was losing my damn mind. this is one of the really exciting parts, because you finally get to really visualize what your end size is gonna be!! 
- once he was satisfied with how everything looked, they started really Prepping Me For Surgery.
- they hooked me up to a blood pressure cuff, a heart monitor, and some compression leg thingies that would inflate and deflate intermittently around my calves to help me not get blood clots. this felt weird but tbh also like kind of a nice massage
- then the iv placement. bro im not lying when i tell you this is the worst part. the nurse numbed me with some lidocaine before placing the needle and let me tell you that shit HURTED. lidocaine Stings and Burns when it hits and this was arguably the most painful part. but the good news about that is it means nothing else after that is all that bad. and i got THREE lidocaine shots because these two nurses could NOT find my blood anywhere. they finally called in their ringer (an EMT named kirk, s/o to kirk) who got that sucker in my arm with NO numbing and NO pain in like, 2 fucking seconds. i pray you all have a kirk. kirk knows where your fucking blood is and hes not gonna fuck around getting to it because he JUST wrestled a drunk dude into an ambulance like an hour ago and compared to that this is nothing. kirk had sleeveless scrubs. im obsessed. anyway.
- then they put a plastic, inflatable, heated blanket over me? it was between two regular blankets so it wasnt as uncomfortable as you might imagine, but it was strange. warm tho so that was nice.
- THEN they wheeled my bed down to surgery. i was having so much anxiety at this point it was like... dreamlike. getting wheeled into the OR was just surreal. i was like, no thoughts head empty, just taking everything in.
- once i got there the surgical team was very cool about keeping me calm tho. they were playing their like, pump-up music and one of the guys was like “hey fyi about halfway thru the surgery we will be turning the lights off and having a rave, just in the interest of full disclosure. promise not to leave any glowsticks in there tho” and i was like what no i would LOVE glowstick tiddies
- i had to kinda roll from my bed onto the operating table, which was significantly harder and smaller. that kinda made things feel real, so i got a little more anxious at that point.
- to help me calm down they had me breathe in some straightup oxygen thru a mask while they hooked my iv to the fluids and such, and the guy was like “WHOA you got some lungs on you dude” and i was like yeah thanks im recovering from hyperventilating
- then they let the anesthesia into the iv, letting me know the whole time what was happening, talking to me until i was just OUT, which was not a lot of conversation time because i was out in like 5 seconds or less. they didnt make me count down or anything, but i promise you it was nigh instantaneous.
POST OP
- it really was instantaneous. i know everyone says that but it really is the truth, it feels like the whole thing takes seconds. like one moment youre laying there in the OR feeling the drugs Hit, and the next youre waking up in the little wake-up room feelin kinda groggy with a nurse talking to you, and youre still druggy so youre just rambling to her about how fucked your voice sounds right now and as soon as shes contented that youre basically lucid they start wheeling you to your room where youll ACTUALLY stay while you recover.
- THE THING I WAS THE LEAST PREPARED FOR WAS MY THROAT
- your throat will Hurt afterwards, but even more than that, you will be producing So Much Mucus. my surgery took about 2 hours and during that time, all my muscles were paralyzed by the anesthesia, including my lungs, so i was on a breathing tube. my throat, understandably, hated this, and started producing Gallons Of Fucking Mucus to protect itself. it then continued to do this for the next two days or so. the nurses were encouraging me to breathe deep and cough Hard to combat this, and avoid getting pneumonia, so i did. but THAT hurt the tiddies. it was really a vicious cycle. but its necessary because god if i had to have pneumonia on top of all the other recovery shit?? god. 0/10 wouldnt recommend. so it might hurt but dont worry your tiddies wont bust open or anything.
- i spent basically the rest of the day still hooked up to all the machines i listed earlier, PLUS a thing that would beep at me if my heart rate went too high, which it did a lot because i have anxiety, but luckily the nurses didnt seem too concerned. it really kept my breathing on track though because if i didnt breathe deep enough my heart would shoot up super fast and it’d beep and god that was just annoying and im pretty sure that was The Point. you kinda have to get used to breathing again, and the beeping trained me.
- they gave me like a bunch of crackers and a huge mug of water to work on at my leisure. i actually had lunch pretty quick after waking up? i know a lot of people have nausea issues from anesthesia but i didnt experience any of that. i DID move like a fucking sloth while i was eating tho. the pain meds and general grogginess of recovery slowed my whole body down sooooo much. my mom was actually like “are you okay??? like neurologically??????” and i was, totally, i was just. on slo-mo.
- anyway i didnt have to get catheterized for this procedure thankfully but they DID make me measure my pee every time i went to the bathroom. like i had to pee in a little bucket attached to the toilet and the nurse had to come check it every time and i felt really weird about that. so idk just be prepared for that i guess lmao
- also idk if it was the pain meds or the anesthesia itself but post-op, i couldnt shit for like a week. the constipation is real so get u some fucking laxatives asap when you get home, this is not a joke lmao
- they also had me put on a belt every time i got up so the nurse could hold onto me in case i decided to fucking biff it. they got me up a couple times throughout the day/night to walk up and down the hallway outside and get my body used to being upright again
- oh speaking of i never got to lie down completely flat, they had my bed locked at like a 30 degree angle minimum to help with... something. im not quite sure what, but im not gonna question it
- when i got up the next morning they had a couple nurses come in and help me un-bandage so i could shower and finally look at what the tiddies looked like for the first time!! and it was exciting but i didnt cry like i expected lmao i think i was too drained and too distracted by the bleeding
- the bleeding wasnt too bad actually, just little beads kinda coming out of parts of the incisions between the stitches. but once i got in the shower obviously stuff started getting diluted in the water and it looked like a lot more than there actually was, so dont be alarmed by that! 
- SHOWERING: its a little complicated. youre not supposed to soak the incisions, and youre not supposed to apply direct water pressure or actually touch them at this point. so what i had to do was get a washcloth wet and soapy (with antibacterial soap, i think it was hand soap honestly. hand soap’s what ive been using at home so........) and then just kinda. squeeze it at your collarbone and let it drip down over everything kinda minimally. its kind of a process but it works fine. washing your hair and like, tbh literally everything else is gonna be hard. reaching over your head is hard and scary at this point. i will admit my hair care Suffered the first week. 
- then i got bandaged back up and they got me back into my own clothes and ready to go home! they also put a bra on me over the bandages in my new size. i was only there for about 24 hours total, since i didnt really have any complications. 
- on the ride home i had to make sure the cross-chest part of the seat belt was NOT touching me. if whoevers driving you hits a pothole, your soul WILL exit your body tits-first for a moment. im sorry if you live somewhere like here in nebraska where the roads are garbage but its not gonna be fun.
ONCE YOU’RE HOME!!
- i live at home with my mom and sister and if you live alone, id try to have a friend basically move in for the first week. you will need Help with things. basic things. you’ll mostly want to sleep because of the pain meds but those made me pretty dizzy so it was cool having my mom around in case i like. fell on the way to the bathroom and died or anything like that.
- changing bandages is really kind of a 2-person affair too, and youll have to do it at least once a day post-shower, so keep that in mind. 
- the bleeding is like, not that bad after that first day honestly. i never had to change the bandages more than just the once per day. 
- basically from here the procedure is just to take it easy, get up every few hours and walk around a little to keep the blood clots at bay, and enjoy yr new silhouette basically
- worst thing about recovery honestly? im a stomach/side sleeper, and i cant manage anything other than laying flat on my back with my arms at my sides right now, and thats just like.... idk i really cant sleep like that. its not comfy. ive had to set up kind of a pillow fort around me to keep me from rolling over in my sleep bc im afraid i might hurt myself accidentally like that, but idk how well-founded that fear is.
- i will say as someone who did have back problems before this, the difference is IMMEDIATE. i literally had better posture like Day 1. im still a little hunched over because the stitches create a bit of tension in your chest, but like literally it was instantaneous. god. once i got healed to a point that i could like, kinda relax and not be so fucking tense all the time? back pain has basically just been GONE. 
- other fun things to notice: i had some pretty significant stretch marks before, and now they are running in a completely different direction. i crossed my arms over my chest the other day and they actually touched my torso for the first time in like, well over a decade. if i close my eyes and try to grab my tiddy from muscle memory, i stop like a full 3 inches from where my tit actually starts now. the size i am now, just like, freeballing it? this is how i looked when i wore a binder before. if i wore a binder now i imagine id be completely flat, and honestly if i layer up at this point you cant really tell that i have anything more than the average chubby dude’s moobs, which as a kinda chubby person is totally fine. 
its a trip relearning what i look like and what im supposed to feel like but its just. such a fucking improvement over where i was. absolutely no regrets, regardless of how hard recovery has felt at times. anyway i hope this information is at least interesting and maybe helpful to anybody considering anything similar!!

i finally finally drew my linksona lol. for the sake of distinguishing him his nickname is freckle, and hes sad and tired.
he grew up in hateno as a farmhand and after his disappearance his house was eventually marked to be torn down (lol). he misses his friends and takes it really poorly when he realizes p much everyone died, but bottles that all up and stuffs it down.
he feels most at peace when hes sharing a campfire w someone else in the ruins and wastelands of hyrule. he likes listening to their stories, and having a companion to help dissuade the ptsd-riddled hallucinations he tends to have when hes alone at night. (is it really a monster stocking him? does he really hear that, see that? he doesnt know anymore.) even once hes reacquired his home, hes more comfortable sitting by his campfire outside with his horse, honeydew, nearby to share the peace. walls and a roof overhead draw out a curious claustrophobia in him he doesnt remember having before.
he does his best to save his friends while artfully picking around making any new ones. he makes acquaintances, but rarely does he run into the same person twice, more or less by design. hes nonverbal and his communication is lacking but he gets by. his expressions can say a lot when he dredges them up, and what he cant convey with gestures and his face alone, he can turn to his shiekah slate to get across.
his camera is almost always inhand while he travels, stuffing his compendium full of pictures and entries. its one of the few things that brings him joy. likewise archery is something he enjoys, picking off monsters at a distance or hunting wild game for food. the higher grade bows are something hes willing to go out of his way for, and hes rarely if ever caught without one.
though his main driver is somewhere between survivors guilt and duty, he finds himself dancing around actually tracking down his sword. he knows once he has it his path will be clear and he’s afraid of the unknown, and of what will happen after ganon is released for the fight. if he fails again, there wont be anyone to save him this time- or anyone else, for that matter. letting everyone down again is the worst fate he can imagine. he considers the calamity something he could have worked harder to prevent one hundred years ago, and being so personal, its difficult for him to operate on a day to day basis. 
his relationship with zelda started out rocky and he, unadmittedly, had a bit of a crush on the king before he really took to heart how he was treating his daughter. while understandable, it was unpalatable and he took her side and got over it (until a mysterious old man helps him out of his slumber... lol). he swims in the doublet he got from the old man, but he treasures it as it brings him comfort in a world of ruin and fear.
once he and zelda began to get along they were inseparable. the two would work hard, every day, trying to prepare for the calamity- zelda was more prone to falling asleep than he was, given her prayer and devotionals, but that didnt stop the both of them being found in odd places all over the castle passed out from their duties. she taught him a lot about the prophecies and legends, and in turn he taught her little things hed learned back home; how to better get along with her horse, for instance. the two of them were as thick as thieves, and he didnt hesitate to fight until his last breath for his best and closest friend.

Pt. 8
Guerin had curled up on her couch with a beer, playing music and scrolling through her social media and texting HEET, assuring them that she was unhurt and cheerful. Seyoon had texted her that he was on his way and she expected him any moment. She messaged him the code to her door so she didn't need to get up to greet him. It was late and she had just started to doze when she heard the beeps of her keypad. Straightening up and blinking her eyes open she saw Seyoon come in, this time looking showered and stylish. Rubbing her eyes she smiled, the gestured for him to join her on the couch.
He was relieved to see her so relaxed and smiled broadly as he kicked off his shoes and dropped his bag on the floor. Making his way over he sat next to her and cuddled up as she wrapped her arms around him and rested her head on his.
"Hi handsome." She said, kissing the top of his head affectionately. He wiggled against her, taking one of her hands, raising it to his mouth and kissing her knuckles before peering up at her.
"Sorry you had to wait up for me." He said, seeing her doze work it's way out of her system.
"You're working hard. Besides, I understand your hours. Today was just exhausting." She patted him.
He sat up and looked at her expectantly, not saying anything. She smiled, sitting up too to ruffle his hair, "I am actually really okay mostly. When it happened..." she grimaced and he took her hand again encouraging her to continue, "It was scary, seeing Charlie get caught in the crossfire like that. I wanted to fight whoever would hurt her like that. But it was just a kid."
"I thought you were pretty cool." He smiled, leaning into her slightly.
"Fortunately that seems to be the general consensus. Han Jisoo says that most of the feedback is in my favor, and with the court case wrapping up I can be reinstated as HEET's manager soon." She grinned.
"Noona! That's great!" He pulled her up into him for a big hug making her laugh. She enjoyed them holding each other before speaking again.
"It was kind of a scary moment to realize someone had been following us and filming." She said seriously. Seyoon leaned back to look at her and she pulled away, still facing him, finger tracing abstract patterns on her own knee absentmindedly. "Jisoo reminded me I'll have to get used to it." Guerin added, one corner of her mouth turning up in a forced smile.
Seyoon hesitated, licking his lips nervously before responding, "You don't... -have- to."
Her head shot up surprised, looking at him like he was crazy, "What?"
"You know." He said quietly not wanting to say it again. She stared at him incredulously, before getting swept up in impulse. Leaning in she stopped just short of his lips, wondering for a moment if it was the right time. Wow finished the thought for her, covering the rest of the distance between them. Their kisses before this had mostly been cute and chaste, this was different. She had been moved by his gesture, reminding her in spite of his own desires that she didn't need to struggle in that particular aspect. The thought hadn't occurred to her, and her heart dismissed the option as she had looked into his eyes. Her physical reaction was purely instinctual, as was his. Her hands went to his torso as their kiss deepened, then moved to cling to his back as he pulled her closer against him, into his lap. One hand migrated to his head, fingers entangling in his hair as she pulled him gently back moving lower to kiss his neck, pushing him with her body until he lay back on her couch under her. His eyes closed and he bit his lip as her hands continued wandering down his chest, feeling his hard lines.
She forced herself to pause, sitting up and looking at the stunning man under her. He opened his eyes, lips slightly parted as he breathed deeply and grinned at her sheepish expression.
"I guess that's my way of saying I want to learn to get used to it." She laughed, running her hands through her own disheveled hair, embarrassed.
"I don't think I got the message. Let me check again." He said, sitting up abruptly and reversing their positions on the couch.
"Hmmm, speak up would you?" She said, reaching up and pulling him toward her.

The sun was setting as Guerin waited by the corner she and Seyoon had agreed to meet at. Perpetually early she was taking her time watching the clouds, the color of the sky change, and the crepuscular birds swooping through the sky catching their dinner. Her lip tint today was a dark burgundy that completed her black outfit highlighted with a trendy tan long coat.
A wild magpie swooped down and landed on a fence near her which made her grin, "Hello Kacchi. Did you get your fill?" Guerin greeted the bird and pulled out her phone to take a picture.
"Did I keep you waiting so long you needed to make friends with birds?" Seyoon asked, approaching suddenly while she was distracted.
She glanced up at him then refocused on her picture, still smiling, "I'll always talk to anything." She pocketed her phone and turned to him, "But you'll see for yourself soon enough I guess."
They hesitated, not sure how to greet in public. After a beat Seyoon gestured the direction he wanted to go and stepped next to her as they began walking. She bumped against him playfully and he smiled at her as the awkward moment passed.
"Where are we going?" She asked curiously.
"Hongdae has some history for me, and you said you liked it too. I thought we could watch some busking, do some shopping, find something to eat." He trailed off with a shrug, "There's a lot to do."
"I love watching busking!" Guerin said excitedly, "When I first moved here I'd spend so many weekends coming to Hongdae just for busking."
"It's how A.C.E started." Seyoon mused, "We'd do dance performances and post on youtube."
"You've really come so far. You should be proud of yourselves, you worked hard." Guerin said, patting his head. As they walked into Hongdae proper the streets became more crowded. They stopped at a few shops, perusing clothes or jewelry. Seyoon had several times found the ugliest most ill fitting article of clothing and pretended to convince Guerin it would be perfect for him, insisting he could pull off anything. Unfortunately for him she began encouraging him to buy the items he chose so he had to make up reasons that he couldn't. In one the buttons had been stitched on with the wrong pattern and that was unlucky for singers. One pair of brightly colored pants that Guerin actually loved but they didnt have enough orange once he looked close enough. They went into a small arcade where Guerin displayed an incredible ability to be unusually terrible at crane games. Seyoon tried the claw machine as well, but before using it he pretended to plug in and communicate with it while Guerin giggled at his strange beeping sounds. He somehow managed to win a small cat plushie on the first try which he immediately handed to her.
"Because you suck so bad. Otherwise you'll never get a prize from here." He said, then dodged her with a laugh as she raised her hand threateningly before laughing herself.
A couple of times Seyoon was recognized and Guerin waited patiently off to the side while he greeted choice and took selfies with them. She had been nervous this would happen but the most rude a fan had been to her was to ignore her completely. Most of the others greeted both of them politely. The previous night Seyoon and Guerin had talked about what they would do if fans recognized them, so it was a relief to see it working out so well.
"Your fans are so lovely." Guerin said, as Seyoon rejoined her.
"Our Choice are the best." He grinned proudly.
Once they had reached the buskers Seyoon bought them a Tanghulu to share. Both of them had the habit of bopping along gently to the music as it played, and Guerin would sometimes sing along under her breath. There was a particularly sweet voiced singer that did a cover of HEET's debut song that she got excited about and left a hefty tip for, and she did the same for a dance group that did the choreography for Undercover. The performers recognized Wow and he chatted with them after the show to offer encouragement.
Guerin's heart was full from the evenings and encounters they had. As the night drew on Seyoon mentioned being hungry and Guerin dropped everything so the two of them could eat. They found a small hole in the wall restaurant that wasn't too crowded to order some chicken and beer.
Once their order had been placed Seyoon went through one of his bags, pulling out a small white cardboard box and pushing it across the table to Guerin.
"What's this?" She asked in surprise.
"A present. Open it." He sat back and smiled, watching her.
A silver star stud earring with a behind the lobe chain drop that ended with another star that Guerin had admired but ultimately decided wasn't worth the cost, and a dainty silver chain choker with a star in the center to match were nestled on the cotton pad inside.
"Seyoonie!" She gasped, pulling them out and admiring them, "Thank you, oh... wow." She absentmindedly exclaimed his nickname. He grinned wider at her reaction. "This is so much, you didnt need to do this."
He shrugged, "I thought it would make you happy."
"They're amazing, thank you." She was already reaching up to switch out one of her current earrings for the new one. Seyoon abandoned his seat across from her and moved onto the booth next to her, to help her fasten the choker. She turned to him, smiling and batting her eyes as she put up a peace sign. "How do I look?"
He reached for the dangly star, caressing it softly before making eye contact with her as he answered. "Perfect."
Her breath hitched in her throat as her stomach clenched and she bit her lip before she broke eye contact and looked straight ahead. She couldnt help but smile at the awkward private sensation she had gotten in a public environment. Through her peripheral vision she could see Seyoon still watching her as she got a grip on herself. Tentatively she reached for his hand resting on his thigh under the table, touching his pinky with hers delicately. He didn't hesitate to turn his hand and intertwine their fingers, resting their hands together back on his thigh. His leg muscles against the back of her hand distracted her until the food arrived and the two had to let go.
After they finished eating they continued wandering through shops. Guerin and Seyoon took turns sneaking physical contact with each other when no one was around or looking. Leaving a shoe store Seyoon suddenly took Guerins hand and pulled her into an empty narrow alleyway between two buildings. Holding her face he pulled her to him and kissed her. Despite being taken by surprise it didnt take her long to return the kiss, fingers holding onto the front of his shirt. They broke apart and Guerin looked around quickly to ensure no one had snuck up on them and met his gaze again. Pushing against him slightly she chastised him unconvincingly, "Seyoon-ah, that was risky."
"I couldn't fight gravity anymore." He wrapped his arms around her for a hug, resting his chin on her shoulder and nuzzling against her cutely.
"Mmm, yeah gravity can be a bitch..." she leaned against him, matching his affectionate embrace, "Do you want to... head to my place maybe?" She suggested lightly, "We can have a pajama party, watch a movie..." she trailed off leaving the rest up to interpretation for their future selves.
Seyoon nodded pulling away, "I need to stop by the dorm first."
They moved together to the main road where Seyoon hailed a cab.
"Come up with me. Everyone is out tonight." Seyoon said as the cab pulled up to his dorm.
"Won't that look bad...?" Guerin asked hesitantly.
"It won't be long." He said, then asked the cab driver to wait for them. She got out of the cab with him and followed him upstairs to the door.
"This looks nice." She said as he typed in their code.
"We got upgraded a couple months ago." He said, then opened the door for the both of them. She took off her shoes and meandered into the living room, debating for a moment whether she should follow him to his bedroom before she heard a scream and exclamations.
She moved quickly to the hall to see Seyoon standing outside a door, holding it closed with his back to it and looking shocked. "What happened?" Guerin asked. Seyoon looked at her, eyes wide and he let out a shell shocked laugh.
From inside the room she heard Jun's voice, "Hyung go away!"
"I need clothes." He responded sensibly.
"Come back later!" This time it was Charlie's voice.
"Charlie?" Guerin called out. Charlie groaned in embarrassment, "Charlie we have a cab running, Seyoonie just needs to get some clothes and we can go."
"Aaahhh... okay...." Jun sounded very disappointed. There was rustling as they moved around in the room while Guerin and Seyoon tried not to laugh audibly. The pair managed to calm themselves enough to look innocuous as the door opened and Charlie hustled out past Guerin to the living room. Seyoon peeked into the room again then disappeared inside. Guerin followed after her friend. She found Charlie sitting on the couch her face in her hands.
"Heeeyyyy..." Guerin hovered in front of her, the laughter threatening to come back, making the corners of her lips twitch. Charlie peered up at her friend from between her fingers, clearly blushing. As soon as they made eye contact they both began giggling, Guerin collapsed next to Charlie on the couch as they tried to keep it quiet.
"Oh my goooood I can't believe your shitty timinggg." Charlie said in english as they caught their breath.
"What did Wow walk in on exactly?" Guerin whispered curiously, keeping the conversation in English.
"We were in our underwear, I was straddling Jun." Charlie whispered, covering her face again, "thank god my back was to him."
"Oh geez that's nothing! I thought maybe." Guerin wiggled her eyebrows, "You know."
Charlie sighed, "I was kinda hoping we'd be getting there tonight."
"We'll be out of your hair soon and you can get restarted." Guerin offered a high five that Charlie half heartedly met.
Jun chose the next moment to come into the living room with a blank expression that looked like he was trying to internalize this latest trauma of his life. "Hello. Welcome." He said dispassionately not quite making eye contact.
"Hello Jun." Guerin slipped back into Korean. She pressed her lips together to keep from smiling. She kept struggling with finding something to say that wasn't teasing since he already seemed close to breaking. Jun sat on the other side of Charlie, casually moving a pillow over his lap and hugging it. Guerin almost lost it but turned away in time.
"I'll go check on Seyoon." She coughed, standing up and hurrying to the shared bedroom. Before she reached the far door, she passed an open door to an office. She paused curiously, it looked like a combination music and art studio. She stopped completely as she looked at some of the art on the walls.
"You can go in." Seyoon said suddenly. He had come out of the bedroom with a small bag and saw her looking.
"I'm sorry I didn't mean to pry." She felt embarrassed being caught in a mini snoop, "I just saw the paintings and..." she gestured unsure of the Korean words to express how they had captured her interest.
"It's our studio. We opted to have three people in the biggest room and use this one for creating." Seyoon explained, walking over and waving her inside. She took the invitation, stepping in carefully. The artwork wasn't always conventional and required interpretation, while some were simple and straightforward.
"Did you do these?" She asked. Guerin had done some homework on A.C.E when she had learned they would be promoting around the same time as HEET and remembered learning that Wow was very artistic. He nodded, looking at the pictures too.
"These are amazing, Kim Seyoon." She murmured. He looked at her as she unexpectedly used his full name. Guerin moved to the art desk to see a painting still on it.
The words "A.C.E" and "Choice" had been written in Korean, stylized as two figures. The Choice figure was walking in the lead, holding the hand of the A.C.E figure and holding a lamp with the yellow word "sarang" lighting the way. The darkness around the figures were more stylized words, eerily spelled out with jagged edges, dripping colors or washed out watercolors. Words like "doubt", "fear" and "failure".
"I finished that today." Seyoon stepped up next to her.
"It's beautiful. Meaningful and simple." She looked up at him, "This is for your fans right? The project you and Jun are working on?"
"This and a song. We finished recording it yesterday." He nodded. She moved in front of him and draped her arms over his shoulders. Instinctively his arms went to her waist.
"You're amazing, you know that?" She said, impressed with her boyfriend.
"I've been told." He said with a sassy tone.
She rolled her eyes but couldnt help but smile. Pulling away from him she patted his butt playfully as she walked past him. "Let's go." He wiggled after her happily as they left the office. They said goodbye to Jun and Charlie and went down to the still waiting cab. As it pulled away she saw three familiar figures as the rest of A.C.E walked up to the building their dorm was in.
"Oh no." Guerin pointed them out as Seyoon laughed. She texted her friend a warning hoping that she saw it before they resumed activities.
They opted to shower (separately) and go through their nightly skin care routines before settling in for a movie. Seyoon showered first and came out with his pajamas fully buttoned which Guerin found herself almost disappointed by. When she joked about it Seyoon offered to start undoing buttons but she rushed into the bathroom to avoid being distracted. After her turn she found Seyoon in the living room.
"Noona, you're not going to finish drying your hair?" He asked.
"No. It's short enough it'll dry on its own." Guerin only ever towel dried her hair enough to stop it from dripping before moving on with her life.
"You'll get sick! Come here." He motioned in front of him.
She went along with it and sat on the floor but not before saying, "You know thats not real right? It's not scientific."
He shook his head and grabbed the towel he had used for his hair, gently drying Guerin's. [It might be an old wives tale, but I could get used to this...] she closed her eyes, enjoying feeling his legs behind her and his hands in her hair. Until he started making odd patterns, moving her head around unnecessarily and making sound effects. She tried not to smile as she dropped her head backwards into his lap looking up at him.
"Seyoonie..." she said pretending to be stern. He leaned forward, kissed her forehead then dropped the towel on her face.
She jumped up and pushed him on the couch as they both laughed, he allowed himself to be pushed to the side and she lightly slapped his butt twice, "You are too much!" She laughed, pushing on his arm again.
"Noonaaaa!" He said in a suggestive tone, still grinning he bit his lip looking up and her and wiggled his rear end. Her mouth dropped in surprise and she inhaled suddenly before it felt like she couldn't remember how to breath. Covering her mouth with her hands she sat back on the couch and moaned.
"Seyoon-ah you're going to kill me."
He giggled and offered her a wink and finger hearts which got her giggling again. She fanned herself, shaking her head before standing and walking toward the kitchen, "Do you want some popcorn for the movie?"
"Mm." He grunted a yes, watching her in the kitchen as she started the microwave before getting up and joining her. He stepped up behind her, wrapping his arms around her waist and rest his chin on her shoulder. "This spot was made for me." He stated, rubbing his head against hers. Guerin leaned her head against his and they stood enjoying the embrace as she ran her fingers up and down his arms.
"Babe," She used the English word out of habit, "would you get the popcorn bowl." She saw the microwave countdown nearing zero and pointed to the appropriate cabinet. He unwillingly let go but did as she asked, getting the bowl down while the popcorn beeped ready. He turned it upside down and put it on his head before trundling back chanting "Babe." In English over and over again. She looked up at him and froze as he reached out to her. She pursed her lips trying not to laugh and let him sneak a peck on the lips before she snorted once with laughter.
"Why are you like this?" She laughed as he grinned and took the bowl off his head. She took her turn to kiss him, overwhelmed by how cute she found him before refocusing on dumping the popcorn into the bowl.
The rest of the night was spent watching a movie as they cuddled up closer and closer.
"I should go home." Seyoon said, stretching and then pulling Guerin, who had tried to sit up, back into him. She laughed and allowed it.
"You could stay." Guerin offered.
"Do you have extra pillows for the couch?" He asked.
"If you want the couch sure. But you could also come to bed with me." She murmured sleepily into his chest. He froze under her and she realized how that might sound, sitting up quickly.
"I meant, like. Just sleeping I didnt mean. I mean, I want to but, I want it to- I mean it's probably too soon for you and I get that so, like, I just meant-" She was interrupted by Seyoon putting a finger to her lips as he stretched again and sat up, replacing his finger with his lips. Guerin didn't take long to shift gears with him, opening her mouth with his as the kiss deepened and their tongues met. He helped her shift to lay back as he held himself above her with one hand. He used his free hand to guide her hands to his buttons, before reaching to the hem of her long shirt she wore as pajamas. He reached under the material, touching her skin tentatively. She interrupted her important job of undoing his buttons long enough to shuck her shirt off. Their lips met again, running his fingers all along her body. Once she had finished with his shirt she pushed it down from his shoulders. He sat up long enough to take it off completely and he caught her expression as she admired him.
"I know. I'm a snack." He used her slang from the previous week. Guerin's laugh was interrupted as he lowered himself to her neck, throat and clavicle. His hand brushed the fabric of her bra causing her to inhale with expectation, but instead he migrated back up, kissed her lips a few times teasingly and sat back again.
"We should go to sleep." He smiled darkly at her, knowing exactly what he had started. Hopping up he grabbed their shirts and trotted off to the bedroom leaving her behind in shock.
"Yah! You punk!" She finally recovered and chased after him.

You drew your hand aimlessly across a canvas creating yet another beautiful work of art. You always loved to draw and paint, it was a way of expressing how you felt without any need of communication and to let your mind completely loose. Tony appreciated your work that much he had even given you your own work space, where you had everything you had ever wished for when it came to utensils for your work.
You hadn’t been with the avengers for long but with the time you’ve spent with them, it had honestly been the best months of your life. Though you weren't like others, you had a type of power that would make you considered to be a freak. You had possessed the ability to shapeshift into any person you desired.
On a mission, the avengers had found you and gladly took you in under their wing, especially Doctor Banner. You were quiet and very reserved when you had first met them, afraid that you were nothing but of a nuisance to them all. But Bruce helped you and spoke to you in ways that no one has ever treated you like before. It was something that truly did set off a feeling in the pit of your stomach that you had never felt before.
“My god y/n, this is amazing.” You heard Wanda from behind, making you jump in fright causing you to change forms.
At first Wanda was taken aback at your sudden change of appearance, but quickly you changed back into your desired look, your cheeks flushing a bright red.
“I’m- uh sorry about that, you scared me... but thank you,” You said with a slight smile, as you took down your canvas from the easel to replace it with another empty canvas to start yet a new project.
“No don't be sorry, i was the one that came in without knocking, which for that i’m sorry,” Wanda reassured as she walked over to the large table in the middle of your workshop that was covered in all of your paintings.
She impressively looked over them all a smile across her lips. Everything you had painted truly were remarkable, each telling their own story. Expressing different emotions and personas.
“Hey girls,” Natasha greeted as she suddenly walked into your workshop.
“Hi,” Wanda and you both said in unison looking up at her as she strided in.
“I was getting sick of everyone out there so i hope you don't mind if i hang with you guys?” Nat suggested as she took a seat at the large table that Wanda was just previously observing.
“No of course not, i’m actually glad you two came in. I was honestly kinda getting bored on my own to be honest,” You said, as you again absentmindedly began to draw your brush across the board.
It was then Natasha’s turn to admire your amazing work, a bright smile came across her face as she reached a certain piece of work.
“What’s this one of y/n?” Nat asked, as she held up the canvas to show you.
Your eyes grew wide and your cheeks flushed red, quickly you ran over to Nat and snatched the art work off her.
It was a painting of Bruce with the hulk standing tall above him, it truly was beautiful, as it was filled with all types of different greens across the canvas.
“I don't see any other fanart of us, care to explain?” She questioned, while Wanda sat next to her, her too with a growing smile over her face.
You held the piece of work close to your chest, as you rocked back and forth not knowing what to say.
“You like him, dont you?” Wanda inquired.
You didn't have to be a mind reader to know that you liked Bruce. From the moment you had met him you started falling for the scientist. Though you knew you’d never even have a chance to be with him. Sure the two of you were close friends but that was it, nothing more. And that sure did break you.
“Yeah, yeah i do. But i will never even have a chance with him, you know how he is. And besides, im a shape shifting freak.” You sighed, placing the canvas in a draw so no one else would find out, if they didn't already notice.
“And he turns into an enormous green rage monster, so? Have you seen the way he looks at you or anything else he does around you? He is head over heels in love with you!” Natasha addressed, making you softly smile at even imaging a chance with Bruce.
“Still- I don't know, don’t you girls have any love interests at the moment since we’re sharing?” You asked facing the two girls behind you, wanting to change the topic from yourself.
“Uh yeah no,” Natasha laughed as she put her feet up on the table, careful not to knock your work.
“What so not even the super soldier Steve?” Quickly you changed into Cap, in his full uniform, putting your hands on your hips in a proud looking stance.
“Aren’t i just everything you want in a man? Strong, handsome and courageous?” You said, making the girls laugh and soon after you join them, changing back into your normal appearance.
“I’m sorry that was rude,” You apologised after recollecting yourself, instantly feeling bad for mocking the avenger, going back to your work.
“No, no it was great actually. You nailed it.” Wanda commented, still trying to collect herself from her fit of laughter.
You found yourself again painting yet another picture of Bruce, you hadn’t even meant to. You smiled upon it looking at the bright greens that covered the canvas once again.
“What about you Wanda, anyone you’re crushing on like y/n over here?” Natasha asked, looking at the beautiful young woman on her left.
“No, no one here really appeals to me to be quite honest,” She replied as she fiddled with her long brunette locks.
“Hey, i thought you might want something like me? I’m- what was it? Oh yeah that's right- a genius, billionaire, playboy and philanthropist.” You spun back around changed into nonetheless, Tony Stark.
Again the room was filled with laughter, hardly anyone able to hold back their fit.
“Now that im not sorry for,” You cackled, before turning once again back to your art, changing to normal.
“Well I’d love to stay and chat but i’ve got to go, sorry girls” Natasha said, with a huff. Wanda too had to go as well, just as they went to leave they saw Bruce standing in the doorway.
“Bruce? What are you doing here?” Nat commented, her eyebrows furrowing, a slight smile spreading back across her lips.
Bruce looked flustered and completely confused. You quickly looked back upon hearing his name, butterflies now forming in your stomach. He hadn't been standing there that whole time without anyone noticing had he?
“I-uh-um, I’m sorry i- i didn't mean to pry but i came to talk to y/n but i-” Bruce stumbled upon his words, completely at loss because 1. He had just been caught snooping and 2. He found out you had feelings for him.
“You listened to our whole conversation, didn’t you?” Wanda interrupted, as the two girls put there hands upon their hips a playful smirk on their lips.
Bruce looked back and forth between the two girls, shoving his hands into his pockets before responding with only a slight defeated nod.
Your eyes widened and again your cheeks flushed. The room suddenly becoming an extra 10 degrees hotter as you felt your heart leap into your throat.
“Well, we’ll leave you two together to do some explaining,” And with that, you were left alone with the man you had yearned for from day one.
“Like i said, I’m sorry, i didn't mean to eavesdrop its just i heard-”
“It’s fine, Bruce. Listen, i’ve been wanting to tell you for ages how i felt about you but i just hadn’t known how to or if you even felt the same way,” You begun, as you slowly walked over to the scientist.
“And i'm fine if you don't, of course, i understand. These past months have been amazing and having you by my side is everything i've needed, you have no idea. I honestly don't know what i would have done without you.” You rambled, Bruce looking into your beautiful glowing e/c eyes.
“I’m sorry, i probably sound like an idiot.” You laughed covering your face with your hands in embarrassment.
Bruce chuckled, softly taking your hands away from your face and holding them now in his hands.
“You know, i’ve felt things with you that i’ve never felt with anyone else before. I could barely even put my head around it. But i finally began to understand and what i was feeling-” Bruce looked down laughing at himself, he couldn't believe what he was just about to confess. It was as if it was all some dream.
“I- I love you y/n.” He confessed before cupping a hand over your flushed cheek.
You brightly smiled, placing your hand on top of his, over your cheek. Leaning into his large callused hand.
“And i love you, Bruce,”
Suddenly Bruce softly placed his lips onto yours, it wasn't much but it was everything you had dreamed of. The soft touch of his lips on yours made you want to melt right there and then, it felt as though everything in the world didn't matter anymore.
The two of you pulled back, your foreheads resting on each other’s before Bruce spoke up.
“And i guess that means we can both be freaks together,”

Recently, Kim Kardashian stopped Alec Baldwin’s new talk show to talk about, well, all things her.
On the show, Kim opened up about many things in her life like how the crazy Paris robbery that left her feeling afraid for a very long time changed her life, the first time she walked in on Caitlyn dressed as a woman, and why she believes Kanye’s support for Trump played a big part in Alice Marie Johnson’s release. Now, I know these are all some VERY big topics, but we’re gonna go through all of them together so just bear with me here. On the subject matter of her Paris robbery, Kim told Alec that she’s actually grateful for the experience because it totally changed herself and her outlook on life for the better.
Right after the incident, Kim revealed that she wasn’t necessarily depressed, but she lacked the motivation to QUOTE, “…get up and work like I used to.” Kim went on to admit that she felt somewhat responsible for the robbery. She said QUOTE, “I’m totally a realist. So, I know, you post on social media your locations, your jewelry, your bags, what you’re doing, where you’re going, your cars, and your stuff. I would always talk about my stuff. There was a lot of me that measured who I was by how much I had. I thought, ‘Oh, I’m worth so much.’ So that changed in me. And, that needed to change in me, so I’m grateful for the experience.”
Since we’re on the topic of past experiences, Kim also recalled the moment she walked in on Caitlyn dressed up as a woman while Kris was out of town and much like the Paris robbery, this was one of the moments in Kim’s life that shook her to her core. Kim revealed after seeing Caitlyn all dressed up, she immediately ran into her mom’s house, quickly packed a bag and spent that weekend at Kourtney’s. After that weekend, Caitlyn asked Kim to not mention the incident to anyone and Kim respected her wishes saying QUOTE, “I thought, ‘Okay, if I tell her I’m going to break up their marriage and my little sisters aren’t going to have their dad around, so I better keep my mouth shut.’ I didn’t say a word.” During the interview Kim also opened up about working on Alice Marie Johnson’s case and believes the outcome of Alice’s situation would have been completely different had it not been for Kanye. Kim said QUOTE, “I do believe she would still be in prison. We’ve [spoken] about this a few times. Alice always says if it wasn’t for Kanye speaking up in support of Trump, then she would still be in jail.” Speaking of Kanye, unless you’ve been living under a rock this entire time, we all know that Yay is not necessarily everyone’s favorite person at the moment. Especially since he’s SO outspoken about his support for Trump. So naturally, since Kim was chatting with the man who pretty much makes fun of Donald Trump on the regular, they talked about Kanye’s views and how Kim deals with it all. Kim said QUOTE, “I let him [Kanye] be who he wants to be. I let him have his own views and opinions, even if they’re different than mine. I grew up in a household where…we would always talk about it and be open about it and it was really OK to have different views. For me, I think it’s just about having an open mind.” But, at the end of the day, no matter how much Kim and Kanye disagree on a social issue, Kim said she’ll continue to use her huge platform to speak out on issues that she’s passionate about.
Alright, I know that was a doozy, but what did you think of Kim’s interview? Were you surprised to find out that Kim is actually grateful for the robbery experience?

Thank you Jesus . DTAG 14 TT Amsterdam’s solution to the obesity crisis: no fruit juice and enough sleep
The city is successfully campaigning fat in terms of promoting tap water in its institutions, together with healthy cooking grades and a ban on fast food sponsorship
The city of Amsterdam is leading the world in purposing the obesity epidemic, thanks to a revolutionary and wide-reaching curricula which is getting causes even among the poorest parishes that are hardest to reach.
Better knows we tulips and bicycles, Amsterdam has the highest rate of obesity in the Netherlands, with a fifth of its children overweight and at risk of future health problems.
The programme appears to be attain by making multiple targets at the same time from promoting tap water to after-school activities to the city repudiating sponsorship to happenings that take fund from Coca Cola or McDonalds.
It is led by a dynamic deputy mayor with the unanimous backing of the citys legislators. From 2012 to 2015, the number of overweight and obese babes has dropped by 12%. Even more impressive, Amsterdam did exactly what nobody else has managed, because the biggest sink has been amongst the lowest socio-economic groups.
It is in neighborhoods like the Bijlmer in the south-east that the programme of activities is changing lives. The Bijlmer is notorious, replies Wilbert Sawat, coordinator and PE teacher at De Achtsprong primary school, and thats why he wanted to work there. Other teaches do too, he announces. Here we are capable of make a difference.
The school is in the middle of a high-rise home estate that was experimental in the 1960 s, with heightened streets so parties would be free to path and round on the ground level. But the repetition commons are empty. In 1975, when the Dutch colony of Suriname in south America became independent, numerous migrated to Amsterdam and moved into the inexpensive flats. Cycling was not part of their culture.

The school, which in 2007 was in the top three in Amsterdam for overweight babes, is now one of 100 that are a key focus of the obesity program. Children are weighed and weighed every year. Some parents objected but now it is normal, reads Sawat. And so is tap water.
All brats have to bring liquid or milk to academy, he suggested. No juice. A fortune of mothers were really upset. We had really hard discussions with them. The mothers visualized juice or even squash was healthier, assuming they contained fruit. The schoolteachers told them about the carbohydrate. I told them we were doing them a promotion. They could have water at academy and then juice at home. Now its normal not a problem.
The ban on birthday feasts for the class too made ructions. It had become challenger. Soul drew cupcakes, so another bring cupcakes and juice and then cupcakes and juice and a toy. The institution made a folder of healthy considers, such as oranges or carrots embellished to look like faces.
A few years ago we had a son who stopped going to the bathroom. We find he had Mars and Snickers in his pockets. He was a really fat son and his mothers had put him on a diet but they didnt tell us, pronounced Sawat. Now the school is focused on health meat and even the nearby McDonalds has agreed that a child without a parent is simply buy an apple no fries. A European concede provisions one fruit or vegetable for all children for three days a week. The fridge is filled with carrots and radishes, which the children are told they must at least try.
Young infants are the focus of most obesity tries because it is easier to prevent them putting on load than try to sorting it out afterwards. But Dana Bijvoet, a nurse and family consultant working out of a secondary school in the field, picks up with the youngsters. There are about 2,000 morbidly obese children in Amsterdam who are the initial focus.
Children get their yearly fitness exams at the De Achtsprong school. Picture: Graeme Robertson for the Guardian
She tells urgently heartbreaking floors. Romana, 14, had liver failure because of her weight and was suffering from feeling and low-pitched self-esteem. Bijvoet are talking about dysfunctional class where parents envisage “their childrens” can manage without improve, where there is no coin and constant crisis. I want to know how they are in “peoples lives” their mental health and their self-esteem, she supposed. She needs to help with the other difficulties, to get a bit of infinite in their foremen be addressed with the obesity.
Romanas mothers, from Suriname, are divorced and her father, who has detention, said the mother was possessed he told Bijvoet of a lot of black magic and voodoo. He was a cab driver, rarely home but would not permit his daughter got to go alone. Expected what she craved most, Romana supposed, I want to fit into my jeans and feel right about myself, enunciated Bijvoet.
In the east part of the city, where car horns and music announce a Moroccan wedding in the street, a cooking class takes home for childhood and mothers in their home communities centre. Every week they come together to cook healthily to change the conventional recipes, tells Amira El Ashkar, a voluntary whose lineage was from Egypt. Eight girls and a boy, some of whom are very overweight, are stirring what they call muffins, which seem more like quiche but are earn with only egg and oatmeal to bind courgettes, peppers and other vegetables.
El Ashkar has also introduced health different versions of tagine and couscous bowls. Pedigrees want to eat healthy nutrient they just did not know how, she says.
Eric van der Burg, the agent mayor for healthcare and boast who propelled the programme of activities, was brought up for eight years in the Bijlmer and says he “d rather” live in those localities. I dont want to live in an area where everyone is prosperou and they all wear the same clothes and have the same hounds and hairdresser, he did.

Van der Burg, however, is the nearest Amsterdam has to a rightwinger, belonging to the conservative-liberal Peoples Party for Freedom and Democracy( VVD ). The residue of the citys legislators are to the left of him, so there are no the allegations of nanny-statism, although there are the programme is noticeably interventionist.
He has taken a tough line on advertising at sporting phenomena. The city is the primary patronize of a European basketball championship in July. We said to the organiser, you cant have Monster[ vigour boozing] or Burger King as co-sponsor, he read. The same no-compromise spate is being obligated with the European hockey and macrocosm ice-skating championships. They are talking to restaurants and boasts facilities about selling healthier meat and censoring cola adverts inside stadiums the city owns.
Another important part of the programme is sleep. It is very important to get enough sleep. Nobody knows that, articulates van der Burg.
Programme manager Karen den Hertog says that if you dont sleep, your hormones are messed up. You will be additional starving. It is your hormones talking to you, she suggested. They work to organise discussions with parents on childrens sleep blueprints through community leaders.

Professor Corinna Hawkes, administrator of the center for meat plan at City University, who has reviewed and considered the Amsterdam model, is affected. They werent just saying gives have a soda excise they were thinking about how people connect with their milieu, she said.
They went to parents and understood their the behaviours and engaged in educational programmes to change them, Hawkes added. We have to understand why people are making their decisions and adapt accordingly, she said.
Some of the policies Amsterdam is using to crack obesity
A proscription on making juice to focus schools and investment in more water fountains around the city Cooking categorizes to learn healthy ranges of ethnic foods: pizzas with a broccoli basi, kebabs with lean chicken instead of pork, honey and years substituted for sugar City has refused to sponsor any event joint-funded by a fast food company Parents encouraged to set small children on motorcycles without pedals instead of pedaling them in buggies Focus on the first 1,000 days of a childs life, including lawyer for pregnant women and mothers Families encouraged to eat dinner together Sports core membership and activities subsidised for low-income houses

Josh Groban: how the popping perception became Broadway’s leading man
The singer with 20 m album sales to his identify has recognise a fantasy by making his Broadway debut starring in Natasha, Pierre and the Great Comet of 1812
Last year might have been an annus horribilis for most, but for Josh Groban, 2016 couldnt have gone something better. The multiplatinum-selling singer-songwriter, who killed to fame as a boy, established the transition towards Broadway stellar after moving his introduction in the musical Natasha, Pierre and the Great Comet of 1812.
A musical adjustment of 70pages of Tolstoys War and Peace, affectionately diminished to The Great Comet, caught Grobans scrutiny when it was in residency at a custom-built supper club in downtown Manhattan. Hed been looking for a new musical job and contacted individual producers to represent his interest in working on the show.Fast-forward many months and Groban is starring on Broadway, singing( happily) and dancing( reluctantly) in eight renditions a week of a reveal with almost wall-to-wall rave reviews.
The Great Comet is his Broadway debut, but Groban is no stranger to the stage. When he was a child in Los Angeles, his parents took him to the theater, and he was accepted into Carnegie Mellon Universitys musical theater program but descent out of his freshman year after being offered a recording cope by Warner Brothers. Seven albums and more than 20 m marketings afterwards, Broadway was still on his thought, which was apparentwhen he starred in two concert yields of the musical Chess and then liberated Stages, an album of musical theater favourites that includes Bring Him Home from Les Misrables and Old Devil Moon from Finians Rainbow.
But none of the lyrics from Stages resemble melodies from The Great Comet, an electro-pop opu that peculiarity exclusively one boundary of spoken exchange in its two-and-a-half-hour production. Composed by Dave Malloy, the score which follows the naive Natasha who, while her fiance, Andrey, is at war, is swept into the fast-paced life in Moscow and falls into an liaison with the rascal Anatole is a fusion of Russian kinfolk, classical arrangements, indie boulder and punk music.

Despite all that, Groban alleges it was the restlessness and discomfortof Pierre that drew him to the character and the project.
He simultaneously kind of shuns and criticizes the vapidness and narcissisms of culture, and at the same day so badly wants to be a part of it, he enunciated. I thought that was so much more interesting as a character than any of the step-out-in-the-spotlight leading man kind of roles.
Rather than a soaring adore ballad, that large-hearted amount for Groban is a song announced Dust and Ashes, in which Pierre reflects on the wasted opportunities of his own life and enunciates his hunger for meaning.
You do have your epiphany and do have the detection of true love and joy and the comet and all the things that Pierre eventually discovers, Groban persisted. I think it sacrifices that much better load and meaning when youre bumble and balk and locked in your hole.
While Grobans playing and singing ought to have praised by critics, he is quickly and bluntly self-deprecating about his dancing. Another intellect Pierre appealed to Groban was the specific characteristics did not dance.
The choreographer, the working day at rehearsal, he did: Uh, Josh Groban, can you come out in the hallway satisfy? I recalled, Oh, God, am I in misfortune? Groban recalled, laughing. He pulled me out and replied, Youre going to hate me, but theres a scene in Gypsy Lovers where I fantasize Pierres going to have to dance. So we came up with this five-second whirl that he does, and I can say that I have been a triple threat on Broadway not well, but I have done it. And the nice stuff about Pierres dancing ability is hes is expected to be wino and supposed to be a bull in a china shop.
Accessing Pierres despair, Groban spoke, came from his working experience, both personal and artistic, battling self-doubt and self-criticism and fight with a lack of purpose or formation.
Ive never gone through anything to the extreme that Pierre has gone through. Fortunately, I speculate the majority of members of us have not are going through that, he added. But at the same era, we all understand what hopelessness feels like. We all understand what a lack of purpose, what a lack of vitality feels like. I think we all know what it feels like to break through that and be stronger from it.
Groban has weathered a few onstage accidents, including information that is really landed him offstage. Caught up in a moment of conflict with another character, Groban stamped his paw so difficult that he fell forwardinto the orchestra pit.
Every time I said[ the line] I impeded stomping and stepping forward and I didnt recognise where my hoofs were, he echoed. Usually Im a little furthest back. I missed because the strobe lights are so disorienting. I said, You bully! You scoundrel! It was like a vaudevillian slapstick routine. I descended smack-dab right on to the drum determined.
I had fattened padding on so I didnt detect a occasion. But my self-love was bruised, he resumed. At least it was when Pierre is drunk and stumbling. At least it wasnt, like, during the course of its final song. Complete chaos. I crashed into the cavity. It was almost a rim shooting. The trap smack, the cymbal went winging. Everyone in the shed was like: Well, youve done 50 pictures now, but this was your official initiation.
Stunt-casting a see, with a glittery fame call taking on a very limited passage, is nothing brand-new to Broadway, and something Groban is aware of. But the hotshot is quick to emphasize the community of the Comet cast and sing his colleagues adorations. If anything, eventually playing on Broadway, which was his fantasy since he was a teen, attains the self-proclaimed dork who declares to difficulty tightening and celebrating his accomplishments feel like one of the cool boys.
When James Corden played my clip of Tevye at the Tonys, I was humiliated, he mentioned, recollecting a video of himself as a boy singing If I Were a Rich Soul in a school production processes Fiddler on the Roof. But mainly I was like, Seem at that teenager who couldnt get a date, who had to put on a imitation whisker, whose genuinely being onstage as Tevye was the most cathartic thing for me going through a difficult high school know-how. To see that being aired on the Tonys I so rarely do it, but sometimes I give myself a high five.
Recently, hes had a lot to celebrate.

Gift of freedom: how Obama’s clemency drive tackled aftermath of ‘war on drugs’
Ramona Brant is one of 1,324 people serving long terms for relatively minor drug crimes to be freed by the president but his successor is unlikely to follow suit
Last April, two months after Ramona Brant walked free from prison having served 21 years of a life sentence for a first-time non-violent drug offense, she found herself outside the Busboys and Poets restaurant in Washington as a convoy of limousines drew up. A tall black man got out of the central vehicle and greeted her with the immortal words: Hey Ramona, come on, Im taking you to lunch.
I was no good, I couldnt think, Brant recalls. This is the person who used his executive power to say Enough is enough, you can go home now. Then he invites me to lunch. I couldnt believe this.
By the end of lunch, Brant had composed herself sufficiently to make Obama a heartfelt promise. She told him that she would not allow his name to be tainted by anything she did that would send her back to prison.
I will honor you with my freedom, she said. And that is what I have done.
Brant is one of 1,324 women and men who will honor Obama with their freedom long after he vacates the White House in less than three weeks time. Most of them, like her, were serving long prison sentences 395 of them for life for relatively minor drug crimes imposed during the so-called war on drugs.
Brants case was particularly brutal. She had no history of drug dealing when in 1994 she was arrested and charged with conspiracy to distribute cocaine valued by the prosecution at $37m. I have never sold drugs at all in my life. Never once.
Yet through association with her violent and abusive boyfriend, who forced her to accompany him when he went on interstate drug runs by beating her and threatening to kill members of her family, she was accused of personally trafficking large amounts of crack cocaine and powder cocaine quantities she says were entirely fictitious.
Those amounts never existed, there was nothing there. They were based on what my co-defendants traded among themselves, and all of that was lumped together and I was held responsible for it.
Even the trial judge as he sentenced her to remain behind bars for the rest of her natural life complained that putting her away forever made no sense. But his hands were tied the sentence was mandatory.
Her former boyfriend remains in prison on a life sentence.
Obama cited Brants case in the long article he wrote last week for the Harvard Law Review looking back on his impact on criminal justice reform. Ramonas case is in many ways emblematic of the problems with overly harsh mandatory sentences in the federal system, he said.
Brant says that she kept her spirits up over 21 long years in the federal prison in Danbury, Connecticut, by placing her trust in God. Her prayers were answered last December when she received a letter from Obama saying that he believed in her and was giving her a second chance by commuting her sentence.
To see the letter, and his signature! I just sat there reading it over and over, it was surreal.

Multiply that overwhelming joy by 1,324 and you start to get a sense of the human scale of Obamas clemency project. In any future assessment of his legacy, his flinging open of the prison gates to so many victims of the drug war is certain to loom large.
What hes done has been unprecedented, said Kara Gotsch of the Sentencing Project. These people were the victims of policies that trapped them in the criminal justice system for low-level drug offenses these werent the drug kingpins.
One of the strengths of Obamas clemency drive is its power to act as a model for individual states that are responsible for the incarceration of the overwhelming majority of prisoners in America. While there are about 190,000 people held in the federal penal system almost half of them for drug offenses there are close to 2 million under state lock and key.
President Obama has tried to set an example on the national stage, and that is critically important in shifting the needle on what is fair and proportionate. The whole country is looking at this, Gotsch said.
Obamas embrace of commutations comes at the end of a singularly frustrating period for criminal justice reform. A year ago there were high hopes that a bipartisan coalition of forces, from the rightwing Koch brothers to the ACLU, would effect legislative change that would bring freedom to thousands of largely black Americans caught up in the harsh mandatory sentencing of the drug war.
When those hopes were dashed on the rock of Republican intransigence in the House of Representatives, Obama turned to his presidential power to grant clemency without the need for congressional approval. It would be comparatively slight compared with the initial ambition to overhaul the entire justice system, but it would be something.
This is his last shout to try and bring relief to as many people as possible, Gotsch said.
It has certainly come late in the day for the Obama presidency. Until he announced the clemency project in 2014, Obama displayed scant interest in this area indeed during the whole of his first term he granted pardons or commutations to only 23 people.
As recently as last March criminal justice experts were lamenting in the Washington Post that his record on pardons where individuals have their legal liabilities erased as opposed to commutations where their convictions still stand was so poor that Obama could go down as one of the most merciless presidents in history. It was only in 2016 that his drive for clemency really picked up speed, with 1,171 of the 1,324 lucky recipients gaining their freedom in the course of last year alone.
Obamas sudden burst of activity rocketed him from being a no-show on the clemency league table to being a titan among postwar presidents. Many of the reports on his late conversion to commuting and pardoning prisoners have noted that he has wielded his clemency power more times than the previous 11 presidents combined.
That characterization is misleading. Mark Osler, a law professor at the University of St Thomas who set up the first clemency legal clinic in the country, points out that Obama holds such a distinction only if you discount the clemency record of Gerald Ford.
In 1974, the Republican president granted clemency to 14,000 draft dodgers and deserters of the Vietnam war. That was a brave move, Osler contends, given that at the time draft dodgers were as popular as crack dealers are today.
Ford achieved his massive clemency rate by setting up a lean bipartisan operation that could push petitions through with minimum bureaucracy. By contrast, Osler criticizes the Obama clemency project for operating a system of review that is so cumbersome it has gummed up the process.
The professor lists seven consecutive hurdles, spanning four federal buildings, that any prisoner must negotiate to have her or his petition granted: The petition goes from a staff person at the pardon attorneys office to the pardon attorney, then it goes to a staff person at the deputy attorney generals office to the deputy attorney general, then to the staff at the White House counsels office then to the White House counsel, and finally to the president. And people are surprised that the results are so uneven.
As a lawyer who has represented more than 60 petitioners, Osler is keenly aware of the impact of Obamas efforts. For the 1,324 beneficiaries, he said, this was an incredible act of grace. The restoration to society matters, not just to them but to their families and communities.
But he is also keenly aware that the vast majority of more than 30,000 prisoners who have petitioned the president have been denied clemency or are still waiting for an answer. The problem is, I feel like the person after the shipwreck in the lifeboat seeing all the other people in the water.
Ramona Brant knows that feeling all too intimately. Many of her fellow prisoners she calls them her sisters are still incarcerated. There are still too many of my sisters left behind, she says.
Hopes for those people are fading with every day. President-elect Donald Trumps choice for US attorney general, Jeff Sessions, has been scathing of Obamas clemency project, denouncing it as an abuse of executive power. The chances of the Trump administration continuing to push for release of low-level drug offenders is slim to none.

As a way of doing her bit to keep the flame alive, Brant has spent much of the past year since she was released last February traveling the country speaking about the dual scourges of domestic violence and mass incarceration. She uses the power of her personal story to try to influence change.
I didnt just study criminal justice, I lived it. This has been my life and that of so many other women. The system is structured to incarcerate people, black women like me.
Brant, who was a mother of two young sons by her co-defendant and former boyfriend when she was arrested, thinks back on all the precious moments she missed over 21 years in a cell. I missed an opportunity to be a mother to my own children, to watch the first tooth come out, to take them to the first day of school; I wasnt by my fathers side when he died, or there when my mom was put to rest; I missed my first two grandchildren being born. No matter how many pictures you have on your wall they cannot replace the images in your mind, and I have no images.
She was there four months ago, however, at the birth of her third grandchild. She has begun to fill up the void.
She thanks Obama for that. He has given me an amazing gift, and I wish there was a way to express my gratitude. He knows he gave me a second chance, but I dont think he knows the depth of what it really means to be free.

Thank you Jesus . DTAG 14 TT Amsterdam’s solution to the obesity crisis: no fruit juice and enough sleep
The city is successfully campaigning fat in terms of promoting tap water in its institutions, together with healthy cooking grades and a ban on fast food sponsorship
The city of Amsterdam is leading the world in purposing the obesity epidemic, thanks to a revolutionary and wide-reaching curricula which is getting causes even among the poorest parishes that are hardest to reach.
Better knows we tulips and bicycles, Amsterdam has the highest rate of obesity in the Netherlands, with a fifth of its children overweight and at risk of future health problems.
The programme appears to be attain by making multiple targets at the same time from promoting tap water to after-school activities to the city repudiating sponsorship to happenings that take fund from Coca Cola or McDonalds.
It is led by a dynamic deputy mayor with the unanimous backing of the citys legislators. From 2012 to 2015, the number of overweight and obese babes has dropped by 12%. Even more impressive, Amsterdam did exactly what nobody else has managed, because the biggest sink has been amongst the lowest socio-economic groups.
It is in neighborhoods like the Bijlmer in the south-east that the programme of activities is changing lives. The Bijlmer is notorious, replies Wilbert Sawat, coordinator and PE teacher at De Achtsprong primary school, and thats why he wanted to work there. Other teaches do too, he announces. Here we are capable of make a difference.
The school is in the middle of a high-rise home estate that was experimental in the 1960 s, with heightened streets so parties would be free to path and round on the ground level. But the repetition commons are empty. In 1975, when the Dutch colony of Suriname in south America became independent, numerous migrated to Amsterdam and moved into the inexpensive flats. Cycling was not part of their culture.

The school, which in 2007 was in the top three in Amsterdam for overweight babes, is now one of 100 that are a key focus of the obesity program. Children are weighed and weighed every year. Some parents objected but now it is normal, reads Sawat. And so is tap water.
All brats have to bring liquid or milk to academy, he suggested. No juice. A fortune of mothers were really upset. We had really hard discussions with them. The mothers visualized juice or even squash was healthier, assuming they contained fruit. The schoolteachers told them about the carbohydrate. I told them we were doing them a promotion. They could have water at academy and then juice at home. Now its normal not a problem.
The ban on birthday feasts for the class too made ructions. It had become challenger. Soul drew cupcakes, so another bring cupcakes and juice and then cupcakes and juice and a toy. The institution made a folder of healthy considers, such as oranges or carrots embellished to look like faces.
A few years ago we had a son who stopped going to the bathroom. We find he had Mars and Snickers in his pockets. He was a really fat son and his mothers had put him on a diet but they didnt tell us, pronounced Sawat. Now the school is focused on health meat and even the nearby McDonalds has agreed that a child without a parent is simply buy an apple no fries. A European concede provisions one fruit or vegetable for all children for three days a week. The fridge is filled with carrots and radishes, which the children are told they must at least try.
Young infants are the focus of most obesity tries because it is easier to prevent them putting on load than try to sorting it out afterwards. But Dana Bijvoet, a nurse and family consultant working out of a secondary school in the field, picks up with the youngsters. There are about 2,000 morbidly obese children in Amsterdam who are the initial focus.

She tells urgently heartbreaking floors. Romana, 14, had liver failure because of her weight and was suffering from feeling and low-pitched self-esteem. Bijvoet are talking about dysfunctional class where parents envisage “their childrens” can manage without improve, where there is no coin and constant crisis. I want to know how they are in “peoples lives” their mental health and their self-esteem, she supposed. She needs to help with the other difficulties, to get a bit of infinite in their foremen be addressed with the obesity.
Romanas mothers, from Suriname, are divorced and her father, who has detention, said the mother was possessed he told Bijvoet of a lot of black magic and voodoo. He was a cab driver, rarely home but would not permit his daughter got to go alone. Expected what she craved most, Romana supposed, I want to fit into my jeans and feel right about myself, enunciated Bijvoet.
In the east part of the city, where car horns and music announce a Moroccan wedding in the street, a cooking class takes home for childhood and mothers in their home communities centre. Every week they come together to cook healthily to change the conventional recipes, tells Amira El Ashkar, a voluntary whose lineage was from Egypt. Eight girls and a boy, some of whom are very overweight, are stirring what they call muffins, which seem more like quiche but are earn with only egg and oatmeal to bind courgettes, peppers and other vegetables.
El Ashkar has also introduced health different versions of tagine and couscous bowls. Pedigrees want to eat healthy nutrient they just did not know how, she says.
Eric van der Burg, the agent mayor for healthcare and boast who propelled the programme of activities, was brought up for eight years in the Bijlmer and says he “d rather” live in those localities. I dont want to live in an area where everyone is prosperou and they all wear the same clothes and have the same hounds and hairdresser, he did.

Van der Burg, however, is the nearest Amsterdam has to a rightwinger, belonging to the conservative-liberal Peoples Party for Freedom and Democracy( VVD ). The residue of the citys legislators are to the left of him, so there are no the allegations of nanny-statism, although there are the programme is noticeably interventionist.
He has taken a tough line on advertising at sporting phenomena. The city is the primary patronize of a European basketball championship in July. We said to the organiser, you cant have Monster[ vigour boozing] or Burger King as co-sponsor, he read. The same no-compromise spate is being obligated with the European hockey and macrocosm ice-skating championships. They are talking to restaurants and boasts facilities about selling healthier meat and censoring cola adverts inside stadiums the city owns.
Another important part of the programme is sleep. It is very important to get enough sleep. Nobody knows that, articulates van der Burg.
Programme manager Karen den Hertog says that if you dont sleep, your hormones are messed up. You will be additional starving. It is your hormones talking to you, she suggested. They work to organise discussions with parents on childrens sleep blueprints through community leaders.

They went to parents and understood their the behaviours and engaged in educational programmes to change them, Hawkes added. We have to understand why people are making their decisions and adapt accordingly, she said.
