'Never Leave Me'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Fair enough, Kat. I had a sophomore honors English teacher who believed that there was exactly one right interpretation, though, and that sucked.
Happy medium, people. Happy medium. (which required more...intellectual capacity than I think some of my teachers had at their disposal. Not all, obviously, but a few.) "Learn how to make reasonably sure you're not misreading" is as useful as "don't be locked into just one way of thinking about it."
The closer tomorrow gets, the more and more worried that this is going to turn into another Bush/Gore fiasco.
I really, REALLY hope that Ohio isn't the Florida of this election.

Check it, apparently a judge may rule that ballots need to be handcounted in OH because of the software "patch" installation on certain machines by the SoS.
The OH SoS needs to be in jail. Period.
I also don't really want to talk about this, but I'm not at peace with how torn Tim is on Obama/Romney. I feel like anyone who doesn't think Romney is a shambling horror is directly attacking me as a woman. And all of our queer friends. (And what the hell, trans* rights, goddamn it, hello???) And the middle class. AND DOGS GOD DAMN IT.
I know he's more moderate than I am; I knew that when we got together. I don't expect him to be a mirror of my views. But then part of me does. And then I wonder if he secretly thinks I'm a socialist Muslim gay-married wingnut. t edit I MIGHT BE.
My grandmother made pie crusts with lard. They were locally famous pies, because they were that good. So I say, lard.
All I have to say about politics right now is, I have just eaten an entire pint of Ben&Jerry's ice cream and I barely remember doing it.

Finally, I should say that when Obama is re-elected and we are all forced to gay-marry each other, I would gay-marry all of you.
Except, I guess, the guys. Sorry. I blame Obama.
Steph, I feel the same way. I mean, not about Tim, but about my pro-Romneyfriends. Honestly, I don't see how decent or intelligent people can see otherwise. I know it's terrible to feel that way but it is how I feel. So...you are not alone.
I have trouble understanding how decent people can see Obama as an imperfect good rather than a really horrible lesser evil. In case that provides perspective.
I learned to make pie crusts with all shortening and no butter, not chilling anything, overworking it with my hands and dusting liberally with flour when rolling out. Always tasted fine to me, though I doubt it would win awards.
