Olympic Hopeful of the Day: Diving phenom Jordan Pisey Windle, at just 13, is the youngest ever to qualify for the U.S. Olympic diving trials, which will be held in Seattle later this month.
But Jordan’s also a young standout in the LGBT community. Adopted from Cambodia as a baby and raised by two gay dads, he recently released his own “It Gets Better” spot, and he will serve as the grand marshal for Central Indian’s upcoming Pride Parade.
Despite his increasing notoriety, Jordan isn’t too preoccupied with his upbringing: “I’ve never actually thought about it,” he says.
And the youngster’s sights are set on Rio de Janeiro if he doesn’t make London.
“This is a good setup for 2016,” says mentor Greg Louganis, a four-time Olympic gold medalist. “This is a time to learn. It’s a learning process and a journey.”
“Richard Madden and Jenna-Louise Coleman attend the “Titanic 3D” world premiere at the Royal Albert Hall on March 27, 2012”
richard madden went to an event and is smiling? lets just forget the fact he’s standing with the gorgeous (dw spoilers) new doctor who companion. they are holding hands.
Tumblr, I think I might cut my hair like Maisie Williams… I realize I’m literally twice her age, but her haircut is super cute and I can feel that once-every-two-years “OH MY GOD I CAN’T HANDLE HOW LONG MY HAIR IS CUT IT OFF ALL OF IT GET IT OFF ME” feeling coming on…
Here’s my dilemma though, tumblr. With my hair long like this, I don’t even have to blow dry it. When it’s short, though, I have to do things to it or it’ll just dry in a million different directions and somehow also simultaneously look limp and gross.
Also I hate the awkward in-between stage when it starts to grow out, but I’m poor and don’t want to keep paying for a haircut every 6 weeks. I literally haven’t gotten a haircut except trimming my own bangs since… September 2010. SHIT Y’ALL.
On the plus side, it’s stupid hot and I don’t have A/C in my house, and also I look older with short hair and will finally look like my driver’s license picture again, so there’s that.
the internet connection here is so shitty that i can’t stand to watch anything on tv, due to the constant skipping of the audio. BOOOOOO all i wanted was to watch game of thrones and finish my run sheet.
guhhhh maybe one of my favorite couples in all of literature. cannot freaking wait until i’ve caught up on this show and actually see ygritte in an episode…
COME WITH ME ALICE. YOU’RE TOO WILD, TOO BEAUTIFUL, TO LIVE IN CHAINS. YOU BELONG OUT HERE. A ROSE IN A VASE IS NOT A ROSE IN THE FIELD. IT WITHERS.
WHERE WOULD WE GO, LUKE? WHAT WOULD WE EAT?
ANYWHERE WE WANT, MY LOVE, AND ANYTHING WE CAN CATCH OR FIND IN DUMPSTERS. YOU THINK YOU HAVE SECURITY BUT YOU HAVE SHACKLES. YOU THINK YOU ARE LOVED BUT YOU ARE A TOY FOR OTHERS’ AMUSEMENT. I WILL SHOW YOU THE WORLD. TOGETHER WE WILL BE UNSTOPPABLE. WE WILL SET THE WORLD AFLAME.
I DON’T KNOW, LUKE. YOU’RE JUST TOO DAMNED HANDSOME TO TRUST.
I CAN’T HELP THAT, ALICE. I WAS BORN THIS WAY. THE UPSTAIRS WINDOW IS OPEN. DON’T PACK A BAG.
