Well, my dear, no ... I am not political. At different points in my life, I have been more so, but getting older and realizing that there is nothing I can do about much. It's not exactly apathy ... and I am ambivalent (meaning torn, not unconcerned) about so much, too. I'm not sure if I'll fall for anything, but I'm not willing to fight for much either. So am I able to live up to own stated morals? Ha! Can you spell hypocrite? BUT, see, I decided that I am a "benevolent anarchist" and that gives me a lot of leeway for making it up as I go along. Does that make sense? I'm not sure if it's even supposed to.

How about you? Are you true to your convictions? How does your career path influence that?

You know, Tim, I apologize that I'm not over here more. I like "talking" with you. Here is the sad truth ... somehow, I now have 136 friends over there. I cannot even keep up with the comments half the time. AND I'm being evicted. AND work is a little stressful right now, working 6 days a week most of the time, but in March I worked 26 consecutive days or something crazy. I am soooo burned out. In 3 days or so, I leave for a roadtrip to a bunch of western states. I have 11 days off. I have wanted to do something like this all my life, but there was always something ... kids, bills, men who hated me to be happy, whatever. That wasn't a shot at men in general, by the way, because I love men ... and women. I'm a lover, not a fighter! So, yeah, I'm about to fulfill a dream and the guy who is taking me, I met here. He's super cool. I just may have a big crush going here or something. It's sweet, it's scary, it involves adrenaline ... I'm there.

Hehehe ... now I'm remembering just before you went to Boston. I mean, getting away is wonderful. But when I return, I must be very brave. I will have all this grownup stuff to do, and I am COUNTING on this being therapy for me. I have never traveled. I have been around California, up to 500 miles away, but that's it. I guess just across the border to Nevada a few times. And Mexico. I love Mexico. But I don't go often any more. I can completely relate to your excitement now.

So I asked about your career because I know you are a little liberal and it wasn't that I thought you were a little clone for them, I just wondered about your inner struggle. I hate to affiliate myself with either side. I self govern. Some of my views are quite conservative, actually, considering everything else that is true about me. Especially fiscal stuff. Damn liberals will bankrupt us yet! I can't believe that they take more taxes than I pay for rent, and now I face homelessness because it is VERY expensive here. I make okay money, I guess, but I have tuition for a private school for my son, an expensive car, and no child support. It just seems unfathomable that anyone can afford $1600 a month for a 2 bedroom apartment on one income. And LAUSD? No thank you! So I am the middle class poor and the tax cuts helped me. I guess I should be glad I'm rich. Anyway, enough about that because I really think both sides are crazy. That's why I self-govern and I try to leave love in the world and that's where I get "benevolent anarchist" from. It's probably a gross exaggeration, but it sounds pretty.

Have a great night!
