MEANWHILE Val's ex-boyfriend Scott is just plain fucking weird and it gives me a good laugh from time to time.
So here's the "wall" convo from facebook:
Me: NORTH KOREA IS FIRING SHIT ON THE SOUTH!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i hope this doesn't fuck up our plans!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! aaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrggggggggggghhhhhh hhhh
Val: WTF? where did you see this? are they firing at the South or just over them into the sea? because they do that all the time...
Val: p.s. I kinda love how a rogue nation with nuclear capabilities is starting WWIII and our biggest concern is our vacation being interrupted lol.Me: hahahahhahahahaha i know. so self-centred. fuck i don't care. i wanna see SOME of the world while it's still nice and then after that it's okay with me if humanity blows itself up.
Scott: ya, things are really coming to a head over there. America has sent an aircraft carrier (USS George Washington), along with a pledge of support, over there to conduct exercises with the S Koreans in the yellow sea. This is in addition to th...e 29,000 US troops already there.
China, despite urging for peace and "maximum restraint," has cautioned the US against entering the Chinese part of the sea. Also, they (China) are the key diplomatic and economic benefactor of N Korea. WWIII indeed...
It all started when the south were conducting military exercises on an island in the yellow sea and N Korea shelled them. S Korea has stated that any further attacks against the south will be met with "enormous retaliation."
Yeah, I know....
