Sometimes when I'm sitting in class... You know, I'm not thinking about class, 'cause that would never happen. I think about kissing you. And it's like everything stops. It's like, it's like freeze frame. Willow kissage.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

Why are you guys trying to give me a rage attack?!?!?

Sorry! Sorry! I just didn't want to be ragey by myself anymore!

I am right there with you, full of rage blackouts.

I'm a rageaholic. I'm addicted to rageahol! t /Homer Simpson

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I am also full of rage. I'm waiting for a patronizing auto-response from "Doc".

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!

I'm not really sure how a stranger would get to know me...I admit I am wary. Shinning sincerity might help

Always Anti-fascist!

God...that pick-up stuff,I think I can hear Gavin de becker scream from here(although I did enjoy the show "The pick-up Artist" a few years ago, in a guilty-pleasure way...those guys were mostly sweet geeks, though.) But it is creepy recognizing dating techniques from "The Gift of Fear"(as don'ts of course) But seriously, if Dude can create a dynamic where he can make you think you have to defend yourself, you might bend over to prove him wrong. Which is how rapists isolate us from the herd as well, actually, and how eight nurses let one sick psycho overpower and kill them all. (/Gavin de Becker likes empowered women's carrots) Gee, I bet I'm crazy-fun on a date. Well, maybe with Gavin de Becker.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I'd ask the people opposed to public healthcare if they feel we'd be better off without public education either, but I'm worried that the answer would be yes.

Punishingly Intricate

>Have none of these people been denied coverage by their private healthcare company? Because a shitload of people are, every day. Because your insurance company is a money-making enterprise. They don't actually care about your care!

EXACTLY!!!

(shudder) Jessica is me. (ETA: not shuddering because Jessica is me, but because I fear she is totally spot-on correct 100% accurate.)

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Yeah, for quite a lot of them it would be.

I'm writing my senators and representative. My two senators are female Democrats. My rep is a man named Doc.

What freaks me out and annoys the crap out of me is that my EMPLOYER sent me postcards already written and signed by "ME" and addressed to those same senators and MY representative explaining how "I" feel that we should keep our employer based healthcare. And urged me to send in these postcards, etc etc. I was like "OH FUCK NO"

The people disrupting these meetings? I'm pretty sure you're right.
