I am a putz.

Despite the piercings and tattoos, blood test needles still wig me out. (And I'm a bad person - I've chickened out every time I've gone to donate blood)

The irony of this is not lost on perceptive lab technicians.

Sprain Schmain; there was show to see damnit! It was good talking with you; I'd like to hear more about Amnesty. I'm on a listserve at school that occasionally forwards Amnesty Int'l related info to me, but feel free to send any info you have my way.

I stole this from MissMisha, who stole it from Toxicboy, who... well, I don't know. I'm just bored.

- Straight/gay/bi? ........ Straight but not narrow? I'm in principle open to being with a guy, and met a few guys that made me go 'hmm,' but never been at the right place at the right time.
- Single? .......... Engaged, but in a somewhat flexible arrangement....

I'm back from the front lines in NH (Dover, Rochester, and Salem).

No predictions, but some reflections.

OK, one prediction.

I've never lived in a state where anyone really cared about how I voted, so I've only ever really been exposed to strategic campaigning. That is, I get the issues, I get the ads, I listen or don't listen, research or don't research as I...

of course, it isn't a reflection on me at all...competition is indeed fierce

hey, how are doing?
zerogirl:
I pray every day that Kerry does not get the nomination.
I hope that Dean gets it. I think people are a little intimidated by him right now, by his willingness to display an actual personality (god forbid, REAL personality in a politician whatever ) but I think that he could actually do something good for the country. I think he and Edwards have the most potential to turn the mood of this country around. The rest of them make me want to fall asleep.
And I want to see more from Clark, but he has just been so quiet. I think crazybob is right...he could balance out a lot of the areas that Dean is less experienced in. If they get it, it could be a good time up in America. Let's hope....

Woot! Scratch that last journal entry - we've come up with a fiendshly complex plan that should get me back to DC from NH in time to uphold my teaching responsibilities (dang professional ethics). So I'm going to be part of the "perfect storm" (*GROAN* Who let them use that?).

So, you heard it here first. If Dean loses the primary, I take full responsibility.

blah blah politics theres more to it than i wrote but it would take much explanation

I am exceptionally peeved. It now looks like I probably will not be going to NH.

You heard it here first - if Dean loses the primary, it ain't my fault. mad

So... I'm going to NH next weekend to canvas for Dean. My fiancee is convinced - for reasons that are unlikely to become clear at the moment - that I'm going to be beating 19 year olds off with a stick. I'm skeptical. Mind you, it's not that she has a problem with it - I just think it's mean to get my hopes up...

What school are you at, anyway? smile

Good luck with the perfect storm next weekend--you can sleep a lot of people in one car, you know, especially in New Hampshire.

I assume you've seen the pictures of a golden, shirtless young Dean. If only abercrombie had gotten hold of those in time for their catalog.....

So, I "voted" today.

DC has decided to hold an early, non-binding presidential primary in order to call attention to the fact that we don't have Congressional representation. If you're not a DC resident, and *this* is what has gotten your attention, I'll give you a dollar.

I'll grant you, the "Taxation Without Representation" license plates are pretty rad. But I wish Eleanor Holmes-Norton would...

I'm originally from DC and thinking about majoring in international human rights law, but your "makes me happy" was what did it.

I think if the Democrats were beholden to anyone who mattered, things would be different. Ending welfare as we know it? The Defense of Marriage Act? Should I go on? wink
kentclark:
Galvagin, so far, the best solution for statehood that I've heard would be to annex no. va. A few thousand disenfranchised posh Arlingtonians would bring dc the vote on the double.

Sometimes I agree with mutiny, but then parts of dc look like they've fallen off the face of the earth already....

Galvagin will be unavailable from 12/19/03 - 1/5/04, as he will be having entirely too much sex to check this site regularly. We apologize for the inconvenience. biggrin

nice. enjoy. smile

Alas, my job is also involved with the politics of birth as well as the practicalities. Unfortunately the political climate of birth here in Georgia makes it very difficult to practice midwifery, and/or promote a less interventive birth experience, no matter where one chooses to give birth.

Merry Christmas.

Now stop reading this and go have sex.

"... against this optimistic view the following darker considerations might be urged. So long as contestant users of any essentially contested concept believe, however deludedly, that their own use of it is the only one that can command honest and informed approval, they are likely to persist in the hope that they will ultimately persuade and convert all their opponents by logical means. But once...

Thanks for the kind words. I'll just have to remeber not to do my next major paper while under the influence of psychotropic drugs.


Seriously though, I could use some help. If I were to send you a draft, would you be willing to take a look?


Now on to a lighter subject. I'm very very interseted in Montreal. There is a reason why I chose it as my game's setting. I've heard great thigns about it, but your the person I know who probablywho seems to know the place best. I'm looking around at places to head after graduation. What do you know about the culture and job market there, what would be like for a , lets just say, 23 year old philosophy and theatre major?

I don't know what it is about the 1-week mark since seeing Melissa. Up to a week, I'm so cool you could keep a slab of beef in me. I'm so hip I have difficulty seeing over my pelvis. I am the master of my domain. I can totally handle the long-distance thing.

But at about a week, my superego decides to go home and...

As far as History goes, I used to read a lot of ancient Greek stuff. I used to read Greek to that end. But that was when I was oh so young. Now, I mainly read about American history. I am endlessly fascinated by the Civil War, the conditions leading up to it, the sort of shocking resolve and sheer will of Lincoln. And I am always interested in the behind the scenes stuff, like just how complicated the revolutionary war was.

But having barely made it through HS, I am strictly and auto-didact. So I read whatever catches my interest. Now, as bad a book as Cryptonomicon was, it has gotten me back into WWII, and I am about to start a book about the German Enigma code.

And as for Strangelove. I watch it once a week. Literally. Do you know the story behind him making that?

I noticed on the boards that you're going to the RNC. What group are you going with? AI? I'd love to be there myself. I have missed out on most of the major protests, including Miami.
