...and I just unfriended someone on Facebook for sharing some Americans for Romney link and then adding her own commentary that "this is just how Hitler got started."

She was annoying during the election, but seriously? It's not even that I'm offended by her invoking Godwin; it's that such a statement is SO DAMN IGNORANT.

I never get to sleep in when I'm dog sitting. Well, okay, the St. B woke me up at 4:30 and I put him out for a while, then let the Golden out, and then managed to go back to sleep by listening to an audiobook over the occasional barking of the Golden. BAH.

So ready to be done with this. I love the St. Bernard, he's really a good-tempered dog, but he's a real burden to deal with. Demanding and loud.

And I'm now down three pairs of socks since this gig started: but at least the Golden didn't eat one of the new socks I bought last weekend to replace the ones she'd already eaten...

Cereal:

You all are not doing much to make me reconsider my no-Facebook stance. I haven't logged in there since sometime last spring, I think...

Oh Sara, that sounds incredibly frustrating. Can your brother and SIL or your mom help back you up, or are they too busy with their own stuff? Also, what someone else said about discussing concerns with your mom. I can only hope this vacation turns into the same fun touve had on other family vacations, eh? :)

I am awake. But may go bak to sleep. It is so warm in my bed and so freezing outside it, I don't want to get up.

Sheesh, Jesse, I need to remember I have 11:00 tickets for Skyfall. Seats were more taken for a first matinee than I've seen in a while.

After I buy my ticket for the wedding, I clearly need to work out where I'm seeing The Hobbit, and get on that or I'm going to be SHAFTED.

But first, I need to go buy cereal. It seems I cannot keep a week's worth in the house. DELICIOUS.

And I also bout 2 taster ounces of Teavana's Youthberry flavoured white tea and I can't get enough of this. Not today, though. Well...not before the movie, anyway. Walking past Teavana on my way back to my car is proving I'm weak.

You all are not doing much to make me reconsider my no-Facebook stance.

All of my Facebook people are fine! But my family is Democrats on both sides, and I did grow up in Massachusetts, so.

And my Hitler person is someone from high school whose friend request I accepted back in the day because, why not? And then the election happened.

I'm pro-abortion. In the real world, it's a great choice for a lot of people. Of course I wish human behavior and contraception methods were perfect, but they aren't. And people I know who have had abortions don't think they were horrible.

I'm pro-abortion in the same way I'm pro-open-heart-surgery and pro-colonoscopy. I don't think everyone should run out and have one for fun this weekend, but as medical procedures go, I'm very very glad they're legal and available for the people who need them.

I only have one FB friend who posts a lot of crazy right-wing stuff. But he only started in the last two months or so.

I've been hearing anecdotes that a lot of Republicans were radicalized during this campaign.

I've only had to block a couple of people and I've a pretty large FB friends list, because of school, b.org, family and former students. Most things I don't agree with I can skip over, but really hateful stuff, I just fucking block, because it's never been from anyone I am close to.

ETA: I am firmly, strongly pro-choice. I've taken friends and one former student to get abortions and it wasn't easy for any of the people I've personally known. I don't EVEN think abortion is a method of birth control, but I DO think it is absolutely the right choice for most women who have one, and it is rarely easy. And for the women for whom it has been easy, no judgement from me; there must be some reason why it was right and easy for them, and I am glad it was safe and legal for them. I've never had to have an abortion, but I have had one serious pregnancy scare when I was in college, and I would definitely have had one then. And my parents and family would have supported me either way.
