On My Way To Korea

Seriously, Kim Ung-yong has had quite an amazing life: Talked at 6 months, conversed normally at 1, solved differential equations at 4, attended physics classes at university as a guest student from age 3 to 6, was invited by NASA to come to the USA at age 7, finished his PhD by 16, and currently holds the Guinness Book of World Records award for Highest IQ.  Oh yeah, and he decided to live a normal life (getting a Civil Engineering degree.  Yeah, I know, ridiculous) and was called a loser for doing what he wanted.

Best comment (and follow-up): “I thought this was going to be a biography of Kim Jong-il. I heard he did stuff like this when still in the womb!” “Didn’t you hear? He saved his mother’s life by doing an appendectomy on her while still in the womb using his own fingernails.”

I would love to just be able to see On My Way To Korea on the list of possible best blogs at 10 Magazine.  Go over here and nominate my blog!  If I get three nominations I’ll be added.  I know I won’t win (my blog kind of goes all over the place and the content on the other sites has a lot more meat) but it would make my day =)

Vote here.

EDIT: I’d love to be able to prove I have three readers lol.  I’m getting between 150~200 hits a day, there’s got to be three people in there that would love to go over and copy the following into other :

So I’ve had this guy who I didn’t even know go absolutely mental one day and he has had it in for me ever since.  I believe it was me originally who sent a friend invite (yeah, I was an idiot) and he accepted.  Things were all right for a while, but then I noticed he was starting to be a little creepy.  He knew I used to be a member of the church but I think he still thought I was a member (which I’m not) so he would always call me elder and crap (even after I told him I’m not a member).  He was copying every single image of me and my friends and putting them on his minihome.  Then he started commenting and swearing and crap in the comments so I frantically found out how to kick him permanently off of commenting on my cyworld minihome.  Here’s an example of some of the crap he wrote:

THEN I had to figure out how to kick him from seeing anything from my minihome since he still copied my images.  THEN he came back as a non-logged in user and I had to figure out how to block THEM from leaving comments.  At this point he went totally completely psycho from not being able to do things on my minihome so he started commenting on all my stuff as an anonymous user.  I didn’t know how to block them so I was quickly deleting his posts one by one.  At the same time I was trying to figure out how to block them.  Once I figured it out I was extremely relieved.  I guess it was a good exercise in learning how personal security settings worked …  Seriously this, guy was creepy beyond belief.  He would put my pictures on his wall, comment on them, comment on his own comments, edit his comments completely changing them constantly, and say bad things about me and my friends (who he knows none).  He even went on my friends minihome and made bad comments about them (they asked me who this random guy was who said this crap).

Anyways, he has also been commenting about me on a forum I frequent.  He said crap like I’m a mormon missionary (which I’m obviously not), that I am a suspect of taking drugs (seriously, WTF?P), and some other crap.  He changes what he writes after I leave a comment so I just decided to leave a comment that mentioned that and that I didn’t want to speak to him again.  Here’s a screenshot of random crap him and some girl he knows said after I did a introduction post:

WTF is up with the random posts about missionary work?  In the bottom one he accuses me of being a drug user.  Ef you.

If you’re reading this, I have nothing against you other than the fact that you say random crap about me.  I don’t even freaking know you.  Go find a girlfriend or a real friend to hang out with instead of doing this crap.

I am a VERY deep sleeper, and as such I don’t really remember my dreams (assuming I have them).  But, I woke up today and realized I had a dream!  It’s always a fun occurrence since it only happens like once a year.  Well, this dream wasn’t particularly fun.  I had dreamed that it was the day before my flight to Korea and I still didn’t have something I needed from the Korean consulate (though I had my visa, so I’m not sure what it was).  Yeah, I was happy after I woke up remembering I have more than a week left and have everything.

I had an article that got on the front page of Reddit for a couple of hours!  For those that don’t know, Reddit is a social news website where people can post links, stories, etc. which everyone can vote on (up or down).  That way, the most interesting stories go to the front and it’s easy to see news and other interesting things which other people are actually interested in.  I’ve found it to be much more valuable in many ways than regular news sources.

Well, I’ve been a long time reader, first time submitter.  I submitted my story about leaving the LDS/Mormon church and told people they could ask me any question and I would answer it.  There’s over 550 comments and I’ve answered every single question submitted.  If you would like, feel free to submit a question there and I’ll answer it.  Otherwise, you might find it interesting to read.  I posted my 22 page long story, which was the first time I publicly released that document.
