Although this has made me certain on my specialist subject investigation next year omg I’m going to do the englishness of english punk and it will be amazing and incredibly long and if i don’t get a distinction for it i know the college are out to get me and they all hate me
*sigh* I really should start this essay on the cultural legacy of punk… I guess it’s not that hard considering my knowledge of punk used to be quite good back when I was one
kinda wish my cousin would hurry up and go to sleep. i hate the fact she had to move back in. i can’t smoke in the house anymore, i can’t go and throw up when and how i please and i can’t cut whilst she’s awake :( *sigh* just as i thought things were getting better too… i just can’t wait to go home now.
It’s weird how in animals seeing ribs, collar and hip bones is considered sick or even abusive, but in people that’s considered beautiful.
This may have just changed my life.
This is probably the best post to help me realize shit I have ever seen.

New Video: THE SHOW - All Time Low - Outlines
OMG GUYS YOU CAN SEE ME ON THE BALCONY AT 1:01 AND EVEN BETTER AT 1:43 OMFG!!! :D
There was a party on May 3rd at the University of Southern California with the majority of attendees being African-American and Hispanic USC students. The party was registered with the school, and there was another party directly across the street being attended by mostly Caucasian/White students. Both parties had similar noise levels according to dozens of accounts from both sides (source).
Two cops arrived to the party with the minorities and told them to lower their noise level; the party’s host told the attendees to go inside the house and they resumed the party in there with lower volume. A few minutes later the cops came back and students began leaving, and the cops arrested the host. More and more cops began to arrive and soon a helicopter came. All of this was while the students were filing out and more and more cops entered the home; furthermore, the white party continued across the street and some officers even went there to tell them to stay inside and safe. A white student told reporters that “basically they didn’t stop our party at all. They had no problem with us.” (source).
As the minority students saw all the cops and attempted to leave, some were tased, and some were slammed to the ground and arrested. Many resisted on the grounds that they had no idea why they were being arrested seeing as they were leaving peacefully and were over the drinking age (the party required ID). Even more cops arrived (source)(video).
Later that night at about 4:30am, a resident at the house where the white party was thrown was awoken by thudding. He rose to see two LAPD officers trying to speak to his roommate. They ordered him to wake up everybody in the (co-ed) house and as they did so they stumbled into two female residents shirtless and asleep, and one of the officers simply stared. (source)
The reason that they were in that house was to gather statements about how LAPD acted correctly against the minority students but the students at the white party’s house gave factual statements that did not incriminate the minority students how the officers wanted. They have complained about their home being entered without a warrant in the middle of the night but have yet to hear back.
On Tuesday USC will have an open forum in regards to the racial profiling that happened (at the party and in the past) at the school but that is not enough; this has to be more than a local issue and should be made known nationally. USC has issues with racial profiling and it is time that it stops. Anyone can help by signing this petition and making it big. (Photograph source)
