I am not...I am not the damsel in distress. I am not some case. I have to work this. I've lived in a cave for 5 years in a world where they killed my kind like cattle. I am not going to be cut down by some monster flu. I am better than that. What a wonder...how very scared I am.

Now tagless for your comfort.

I'm going to give some quiet thanks for all the wonderful, cool-as-hell and objective teachers I had from k-12*. Even when I started expressing my opinions early (hard to believe, right?) and these opinions differed from my teachers' they taught me to reason and debate issues with respect.

  • with the exception of the sexist twit who taught my advanced algebra class who thought that girls were no good at math and tended to favor the boys. But, hey, screw him. I know lots of women actuaries now that could run circles around his tiny pea-sized brain.

Always Anti-fascist!

"Yemen" still makes me laugh really hard because of Chandler Bing. Gee, what did the Osmond daughters post? Was it really raunchy, or raunchy-for-Osmonds? Because I have a boring life but I suspect it's still RFO. We have to fight the Dominionists, imo.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Huh, just checked the weather radar map at Weather Underground, which shows major lightning strikes, and the NYC area looks like it's under serious bombardment!

Yeah. And it smells gross outside, too, not good.

I still haven't installed the a/c in my apartment. So hot.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

(Okay, now I head thunder. Yowza!)

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

Crap! I forgot about the spelling bee!

I have to do yoga before I put it on, though, because if I tell myself I'll do yoga afterward, I know I'm just lying to myself.

t zips off, spelling N-A-M-A-S-T-E....
