“It’s like all those stories where someone is assaulted on the street and a hundred witnesses do nothing,” continued Turley. “In this case, the Fourth Amendment is going to be eviscerated tomorrow, and a hundred people are going to watch it happen because it’s just not their problem. … There’s not an ounce of principle, not an ounce of public interest in this legislation.”
am currently considering new traditions for self/world improvement. pedicure on saturday nights. uu on sunday mornings. vegan brunch at the tomato head following the uu-ing. pflag meetings on thursday nights. trip to nashville for trans-activism. not backing down about my obama love when surrounded by rednecks. moving my tv to the basement. air in bicycle tires. purchase of bicycle chain to secure $400 investment to something sunk in or bolted to concrete slab. considering purchase of a new camera/laptop bag that will allow me to be a mobile artiste or a mugging target; not sure which. new consideration: mace & self defense class. (note to hugo: guns are too heavy.)

I had been meaning to check it out for quite some time but since I am a chickenshit…i waited until the time was right. i cried. i dry heaved. i cleaned out the refrigerator.

omg why am i sitting here i have a ton of shit to do.
merry weekend everyone.
If I haven’t irritated you with this by now (which would be surprising), listen up.
Bug has plastered herself all OVAH the internet in the last few weeks. I would like to invite you to add me as a contact/friend/whatever on any of these services you happen to be into. Here we go.
Now I’m off to record some video responses. 
i am watching my first episode of the gilmore girls and am incredibly amused by a tampon ad. the ad for playtex sport tampons featuring a gymnast. interesting choice since the prevalence of eating disorders are so high among female gymnasts that many of them don’t have periods. heh.
i don’t know what is going on with me, friends in the computer. wednesday i was 100% pumped to go to the UU this morning. by friday i was excited but hopeful. maybe i would meet someone there i knew. maybe i’d have a good time. maybe it wouldn’t be awkward and leave me feeling weird and disappointed.
somewhere around 2am this morning i decided that it would be best if i stayed at home and listened to UU sermons that were given a continent’s width away from me. they were safe. there were no wondering or judging eyes.
i guess in the end i was sad that i would have to experience, yet another thing, by myself. isn’t that weird? in a room full of people i see me as being by myself. always.
my first therapist told me that my perceptions were my problem and that my problems didn’t really exist. that’s a pretty shitty thing to say to a teenager that is suicidally depressed and enduring, what she understood to be, emotional and physical abuse.
so do you know what i did instead of getting to bed on time so i could go have myself a life experience? i wrote my recommended introductory letter to a therapist and i cried and i listened to more sermons. i did it until 7am. i slept until 12. did a tarot reading after a i showered. checked my LJ. realized i wouldn’t have been alone at all.
son of a b.
aside: i don’t know when the LJ crossposter got turned on. i don’t remember doing it. i might leave it on. i hate being so wishy washy. ok, fine. i’ll leave it on. hah. how’s that for decision making.
i’m really into jott, twitter, and facebook right now.
i was also depressed to learn yesterday that i couldn’t find a moveon.org bake sale within FIFTY miles of here. i am going to have to get more involved in the world.
