yay! everything went really well. we were in and out of the INS in about a half hour. i was amazed. yay! the government isn't going to deport olivia! thanks, department of homeland security!!
you make a really going point, protesting the "open discussion" event might be a much better idea than actually going. It's clear that no one involved in a group so extreme as to be named "genocide awareness program" is going to have their minds changed by some college feminists that they probably have no respect for anyway. I don't even know if people are aware that she works for such projects though.

tonight, while lifting weights, i saw something tiny moving above me. i stopped, put on my glasses, and saw the tiniest spider spinning a web. it's cold in the carriage house, so i took him (suspended on the end of a broken chair leg) into the mud porch where it is much warmer and there are occasional bugs to eat.
not to wax all emo or anything, but i miss talking to you on aim.
I just wanted to let you know that everytime I read one of your posts on the current events board, I totally agree with you and you say, quite eloquently, what I cannot. I have a lot of respect for you and your views.
Docbombay and I were just discussing how much we agreed with you... so I thought I should let you know that your viewpoint is appreciated and doesn't go unnoticed.
i am taking my parents to an anti-war rally next week, and my mother is reading robbin's "skinny legs and all."

hello. please do not contact me to complain about the other people who work on this website, or to extract information from me, or to ask leading questions, or otherwise attempt to insert me into drama. instead, take a deep breath and contemplate the fleeting insignificance of the moment. i simply do not care to hear it. i don't care, i don't care, i don't...
