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.

My President covers all bases, has a sense of humor, reaches out to us unwashed masses, counts me as a citizen,knows the internets... goddamn, am I dreaming?
