with Friends

I said Oh my God what did you do what happened, he said nothing, nothing happened, they dropped me off at the end of my street in the end, it was just some kind of joke he said.

He was talking quite slowly, breathlessly, he said the worst thing was, it was strange, the worst thing, more than the fear of what might happen to me, what they might do or how I might get out of it, the worst thing was thinking that nobody would ever know, that I would just be missing, disappeared, vanished.

He looked at me and said can you imagine that?

He said can you imagine anything more lonely?

The Chinese were finally caught using underage athletes. (As per many people's suspicions.)

Lightning

Will anyone be able to catch Usain Bolt in the Men's 200m tonight?

Jamaica's Usain "Lightning" Bolt hopes to become the first man since Carl Lewis in 1984 to win an Olympic sprint double, carrying on in style from his dazzling, world record 100m win.

"I like to enjoy what I do," said the lanky Bolt, who breezed through his 200m semi-final on Tuesday, playing up to TV cameras and taking a look round at competitors during the race.

"You can't be too serious in your job."

Victory again for Bolt in the Bird's Nest at 10:20 p.m. (1420 GMT) would make him as much a face of this Games as Phelps, whose eight golds give him a place of his own in the record books.

The Jamaican's best in the 200m is 19.67 and he will have to find a new gear to break American Michael Johnson's 12-year-old world record of 19.32 seconds set at the 1996 Games.

The Heisig Sequence

hey y'all, I'm looking for a digital list of all the RTK kanji, but i can't find it -anywhere- using my methods. Can you guys help me out? I'm looking for a list with just the kanji in the correct order which i can just copy paste and lets me do anythingi want, editing wise, to it.

I want to use it to create a thing to keep track of my progress like what they have on KanjiPoster.com but on A4 format so i can just take it along in my bag and make as many prints of it as i want. I have considered to actually just manually make a list, adding to it as i go through the book, but i wanted to check the easier possibilities first. So far i've only found lists that were not in the RTK order, so they're no use to me as i have to search all over the list to mark the kanji.

Thanks in advance!

Remember Me [2/?] // PG-13 // JaeMin, HoMin

Title: Remember Me [2/?]
Author:

theresa_lynne
Pairing: JaeMin (focus), HoMin
Rating: PG-13 (will go up to NC-17 in later chapters)
Disclaimer: I do not own anyone mentioned in this fic. All characters mentioned are works of fiction based around real people who may or may not have completely different feelings than what is described in this story.
Summary: Everyone thinks Changmin is crazy, and maybe he is. He's got a best friend that only he can see and he's not sure why. One day when his curiosity gets the better of him and he begins to question, his best friend disappears. Forced to move on with the rest of his life, Changmin is determined to forget and chaulk it up to a wild imagination. But what about his promise to find his best friend again someday and what happens if and when he does?

A/N: This is Jaejoong's side of the story. You'll understand the prologue somewhat at the end. ^^ Enjoy.

( It's a 19 year-old kid. How much crazy could be packed into that? )

First of all, let me start by saying I mean no disrespect -at all- I just didn't catch the rider's name.

A) Something about Isabelle's free-style riding music caused me to fall in love with it! Anyone catch what it was?

B) Did anyone else think the Horse working with the lady from the Netherlands and Isabelle's rival was the most beautiful animal ever?

Score

Does anyone know where I can find the score for the Olympic theme music? You know the song; the music that always accompanies each Olympic games and opens with that gorgeous trumpet fanfare? I play an instrument, so I'm interested in printing it out to see if I can play it.
