Jason and I disagree on the Death Penalty and on Israel, but we've just gotten used to the other person being WRONG.
Lydia: But you are a vampire. Spike: If I'm not, I'm gonna be pissed about drinking all that blood.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I think it's interesting to figure out how someone I like can be so wrong on whatever issues (from my perspective, obviously) but haven't had the experience with someone I was really close to, I don't think. That could be really hard to deal with.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
There is a terrible windstorm going on outside. Can't sleep and work is delayed until 9:30.

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

Yeah, me neither. There is the politically insane (i.e. in an actual cult) branch of my family, but I'm not close with them. Everyone in my immediate family (including in-laws) is more or less on the same page.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Jesse, it won't let me submit a photo album to Good Stuff. I want to add this.

My immediate family is the Left Wing Pinko Commie branch of an otherwise Right Wing extended family, so we're very used to that divide. Though we don't argue about it, my grandmother's philosophy was always everybody needs to leave their political talk at the door and get along with family.

There are certain subjects that Are Not Discussed between Hubby and me. He has bad cases of "I'm right, dammit!" and it's not worth it to me to try and dig down and find his reasoning (life's too short and he's been dead too often). Most political things fall in there. He's always very surprised when he hits the wall of my own "These are my beliefs and I'm not changing them for you." Thankfully we've learned how to use our various hard walls to circumvent other people whom we don't like. "Oh, I couldn't, my wife/husband would never go along, and they're more important to me than X."
