Been listening to Alix Olson's newest CD Independence Meal, and a few lines keep getting stuck in my head, so I'm going to blog about them. "...I find myself stratospherically frozen between the way things are and the way things should be..." That describes so perfectly how I feel so much of the time I just had to share it. "...the rusty squeaking of good hearts on rusty brains..." There are

Hmmmm...another busy weekend. Went to see Farenheit 911 on Friday night. There's been so much publicity that I'm not going to blab on with a bunch of repetitive shit, but I thought it was really good. (yes, you're shocked, I know). I guess I could easily be considered the "choir" that Michael Moore has been accused of preaching to, but I don't really care. I actually learned a few things that I

Well, it's been way too damn long since I posted, and my last post was really stupid anyway. Now I only have a few minutes but oh well...quick update. Weeks have been moving SO fast lately in my life. My girl and I set a date, so we'll be getting married May 21, 2005 at the First Unitarian Church in Pittsburgh. We've been scoping out reception locations since we're going to do it up right and

Just read this ARTICLE today at nerve.com thanks to a link from Margaret Cho's blog. ********************************************* This part was funny: JONATHAN AMES (Q4: #3 of 11) I do think gay marriage should be legalized. If I were gay and got married, then got a ticket for gay marriage, I'd be really annoyed. How many points do you get on your license for gay marriage? Probably a lot.

Well yesterday I participated in my first Big Gay Memorial Day picnic in Pittsburgh. Much fun was had....and much alcohol was consumed. The walk in the woods was fun too--those of you who were there know what I mean. (-; After that the day is kinda blurry til I sobered up around 5 in time to drive home...I'm afraid to see the video. Oy vey! Hmmm...it was a very busy weekend otherwise. Saw

Ok, I'm bored today at work. Kim's off on Fridays. Ethan's not here, and my girl can't e-mail at work any longer. What's up with that?! They're like my lifeline to the outside world when I'm inside this insane bubble. Aaaaaahhh...Sooooo I'm going to attempt to entertain myself for awhile. I collect quotes and I thought I'd share some of my favorites: FEMINISM "I myself have never been able to

My personal opinion: While terrorism is a terrible thing and acts of terrorism are ultimately indefensible, I read this article that had me asking a lot of questions today. Questions about what the US can do to minimize it's spread and what the US might be doing to create conditions favorable to it's spread as a viable tactic for achieving a goal among the disillusioned people of the world.

Just had to listen to a customer preach in my ear about this book called "A More Excellent Way" that claims that any disease you have is a result of your "spiritual condition". So if you "get right with God" your allergies will get better. Or cancer...or whatever...just pray about it. Forget about medical science...what do they know?! Anyway....I think it's a crock of shit and I think it's sad

Yoy have I been tired today. Don't even know why. But oh well, the day is almost over. Blogger has been fucky all day, but Kimmy found a way around it all. *three cheers* Glad to see some people found my Home Economics posts as "enlightening" and "inspiring" as I did. You just have to laugh really. I have to tell you that on the days when my self-esteem is running low I look back at things like

Sooo....as I mentioned in my previous post, I like to travel. I've traveled quite a bit compared to most people...mostly on medical missions trips. My friend who is a dentist trained me to be her assistant and we travel to different areas and provide free dental care.

Well, I spent a lovely evening over at my parent's house going through boxes of crap that I never took when I moved out. Five garbage bags full later, I came across a treasure!!! My home economics binder from my sophomore year of high school! Wooohooo! I did find a peanut butter pie recipe that I remember being quite tasty, but overall it was just a load of CRAP.

Blog post in 3 parts: Part 1: Life Update. Well, life's been pretty peachy. I've missed my girl a lot since we haven't been able to see each other very much lately due to life circumstances, but...things are looking up on that front. I enjoyed the gorgeous sunny weekend and survived a day of obligatory imprisonment at my mom's house for Mother's Day. She flipped out because of my bumper sticker

Ok. I'm bored and stuck at work, so for a bit of humor....I thought I'd share Kim's quote of the day: "Cleavage is like money. More is never bad." Made me laugh...a lot. (-:

So, over the last few conversations with my parents, politics have inevitably come up. My dad called me last night and we chatted for a bit so it's on my mind again. Being the conservative Christian Baptists that they are, they are apalled that their "sweet little daughter" has turned into such a liberal. My mom had to leave the room at the thought that I would not vote for the "christian" (and I

The article. This is so sad. I truly believe that the fostering of attitudes and beliefs necessary for one human being to do this to another is a direct result of the irreverance and apathy that our leaders have shown about the insane loss of innocent civilian lives in Iraq. After all, if we can carpet bomb them and kill them indescriminately then what the hell does it matter if we torture them

So, not much new here. I went out Saturday night with the gang--Christie, Kim, Ethan, Steve, Ama, and Mike. Hit Images first then went to Donny's where we made our way to the patio due to the suffocating heat inside and the shitty DJ...SERIOUSLY...he sucks...uggh...anyway...much fun and drunken debauchery. I was only semi-drunk for half the night since I was driving but still....before we knew it
