This woman is a JOKE. McCain must have been Voodoo'd into picking her. (but then again he IS the walking dead...)
I was once a devout NO-VOTER and after being served Jury duty(curses!) I realized I might as well register. Even if it means nothing at least I can say I partook of this here hootenanny!

This bank situation has me worried. I would hate to see Washington Mutual's possible demise cause my funds to be locked and leave me unable to pay my bills....I am so reliant on debit cards that cash is nearly obsolete to me!
As of today I took from savings and paid my credit card 100% so that is off my mind for good. Still some things to worry about such as the monthly cable and cell phone bill... after seeing what happened with that worthless IndyMac bank I am a bit concerned. At least I am not some rich fool not considering FDIC insurance, investing more than $100,000 into one establishment...as if I would ever have that now! hah!
High school taught me well in the end and I thank a select few teachers for their good common sense lessons. As if the subject matters even counted, there really should just be a "Guide to Life" class. :P
in other news,
![[info]](http://p-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) most_inane_uno has decided to stay as our roommate. My old mum must calm her crazy attitide and help us sort her packrat possessions out of his room (no other renter would put up with that crap!) She admitted she was so thankful to have him, she is just a grumpy old lady.
I am thrilled because I trust him with my home, my possessions and my life. He is a true friend and it is really hard to find anyone as worthy to share a home with.
I can't wait for this year to end and things to be back on track. :)

| Translations from McCains website |
[11 Sep 2008|01:49pm] |
From Tim's blog.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~`
Translations from McCains website
Okay...we all know that politicians are some clever, sneaky bastards and have ways of making terrible policy sound great. McCain is actually pretty good at it. He even fooled my republican parents! So I've decided to do a public service in my attempts to translate the doubletalk on McCain's site. Here are a few select tidbits, since I could go on about this stuff all day long.
Climate Policy Should Be Built On Scientifically-Sound, Mandatory Emission Reduction Targets And Timetables.
This means that he will use research in policy formation from republican funded research institutions...rather than legitimate scientific bodies like the IPCC and the National Academy of Sciences. There is a plethora of information on the internet about this. I've written a couple papers on these issues myself...email me and i'll send them to you.
There is a darker side to the Internet. Along with the access and anonymity of the Internet have come those who would use it to peddle child pornography and other sexually explicit material and to prey upon children.
He will use child pornography as justification for government monitoring of the internet.
John McCain has been a leader in pushing legislation through Congress that requires all schools and libraries receiving federal subsidies for Internet connectivity to utilize technology to restrict access to sexually explicit material by children using such computers. While the first line of defense for children will always be strong and involved parents, when they send their child to school or drop their child off at the library, parents have the right to feel safe that someone is going to be looking out for their children.
What he doesn't mention is that those K-12 public school internet filters actually filter out nearly half of the internet, making life more difficult for kids doing research on the net. Again, its simply justification to further his christian moralist agenda.
Stem cell research offers tremendous hope for those suffering from a variety of deadly diseases - hope for both cures and life-extending treatments. However, the compassion to relieve suffering and to cure deadly disease cannot erode moral and ethical principles.
For this reason, John McCain opposes the intentional creation of human embryos for research purposes. To that end, Senator McCain voted to ban the practice of "fetal farming," making it a federal crime for researchers to use cells or fetal tissue from an embryo created for research purposes. Furthermore, he voted to ban attempts to use or obtain human cells gestated in animals. Finally, John McCain strongly opposes human cloning and voted to ban the practice, and any related experimentation, under federal law.
This means that if something entirely scientific that could help save millions of people doesn't correspond with his subjective moral values, then he will outlaw it. (Did he forget that it is the job of congress to do that, not the president?)
The family represents the foundation of Western Civilization and civil society and John McCain believes the institution of marriage is a union between one man and one woman. It is only this definition that sufficiently recognizes the vital and unique role played by mothers and fathers in the raising of children, and the role of the family in shaping, stabilizing, and strengthening communities and our nation.
This means that he'll never equal marriage rights for gays. It also means that he is pro-life. When ever politicians mention "family values" ...nine times out of ten what they really mean is "christian values"
John McCain will commit our country to expanding domestic oil and natural gas exploration. The current federal moratorium on drilling in the Outer Continental Shelf stands in the way of energy exploration and production. John McCain believes it is time for the federal government to lift these restrictions and work with states to put our own reserves to use. There is no easier or more direct way to prove to the world that we will no longer be subject to the whims of others than to expand our production capabilities.
This means he would start tear up the Arctic National Wild Life Refuge (ANWR) like a high school football player and his girlfriend on prom night.
John McCain's Cap and Trade Policy
John McCain Proposes A Cap-And-Trade System That Would Set Limits On Greenhouse Gas Emissions While Encouraging The Development Of Low-Cost Compliance Options. A climate cap-and-trade mechanism would set a limit on greenhouse gas emissions and allow entities to buy and sell rights to emit, similar to the successful acid rain trading program of the early 1990s. The key feature of this mechanism is that it allows the market to decide and encourage the lowest-cost compliance options.
Now this one really cracks me up. There was an issue brought to senate called the Kyoto protocol that proposed this exact strategy, yet him and all of the other republicans voted against it.
Thats it for now. Don't even get me started on Palin. If I could put AIDS in a squirtgun, I'd shoot her in the face with it.

"Barack Obama can't help it if he's a magna cum laude Harvard grad and you're a Wal-Mart shopper who resurfaces driveways with your brother-in-law. Americans are so narcissistic that our candidates have to be just like us. That's why George Bush is president."

I have always done well to cover up and not be burned by the evil sun but this horrible week my sunscreen slathering failed me and I did not think to wear a long sleeve shirt in such heat....We had a garage sale to end all sales... ugh. I worked my ass off to deal off all this old crap from the depths of my moms house. I sold most of it all for next to nothing, which did the trick and I made a pretty penny. I am now feverishly sick from the burns and actually fainted from some sort of heat stroke at the end of the day. From now on I must always be covered head to toe if I *might* be out in the sun for more than 30 mins...
My friend azurien was a real trooper to handle my INSANE mother and her outbursts. I really know who my best friend is now after that ordeal... *shudders*
At the end of it she was so good to find an Aloe Vera plant growing and inform me that I could smear this wondrous plant all over me to stop the pain. It works wonders and I will be doing this for a week straight! :P
on a second note: People at garage sales are among the most selfish, hideously disgusting breeders on this planet. I hate humanity more than ever now. :(

I just want it to happen already!! I start my class at UCLA on the 24th of September. It will end December 10th. With this last class I will have my Associates degree and transfer to any of the UC or CSUs. (or I may just say screw it all and do private college but I need my options open!) :)
This class cost me a bit so I have no other option but success!!
I WILL NOT FAIL!

Now that ebay has drastically changed their policy ONCE AGAIN and under short notice as usual, my work's once well managed business plans are destroyed. We can no longer function at anything but a loss. The manufacturers are also increasing costs. New rules on product value will become enforced within the future and you will not be able to find "good deals" on any nice products other than used sale... so much for a "Free Market".
My boss has no choice but to lay off everyone but the 2 store employees... I will miss this job It was the most positive and occupying I have ever had. We are all still good friends and understand this loss, he will be in debt and recovering for awhile himself.
Of course bad things always come in bunches, I cried all night for my silly dog... I am going to miss her! :(
On to the next options I will go, but I will never sell on ebay again.

So in a panic of my call sunday night I found out I had jury duty TODAY, the same day that I work my butt off at the job and start summer school algebra... (yeah when the eff will I pass THAT already...)
Thank GOODNESS they had an overstock of jurors and I was carrying my algebra book with paper pile, the nice desk lady saw it and said she could get me out at lunch with my certificate. :)
So there is still a lil good left in society right? Yes.
Now can I get this damn math behind me for a change? Too bad I have never cheated in my life on anything or this could have been done and over a year ago. *shakes fist at the cheaters who are probably smarter than me*
Thank you Fermi for trying to help me, I appreciate your seemingly everlasting patience with my pea-brain!
All I can say right now is that having stable work is the greatest feeling ever, the more I see people struggle for jobs even with their college degrees the more I think college can wait a little bit before I waste all my money and end up jobless.
Once I pinpoint what degree I really want things will go smooth...
My mom REALLY needs to stop relying on me for money, I am never even home now and her constant nagging and stressful desperation is starting to get at me again. She has made no effort to get a real job these past years and relying on renters can only go so far with this stuggling economy.
Thank you good friends who cross their fingers for me!
I owe Bridget one for the finger-crossing that saved me from a long stay in jury duty. ;)
edit: AZURIEN WHY ARE THEY NOT CALLING YOU TO JURY DUTY? It's your most favoritest thing!! sheesh!!!

Starting the 14th of this month I will be goin' crazy for good.
Algebra summer class begins the 14th. My tutor who is also my co-worker will be out of town for the first week, me and the boss will be overtiming it to get everything done everyday...and to top it off I have Jury duty that I will not be able to weedle out of this time. I am just dreading them wasting my time while my boss is stressed handling the 5 ebay accounts alone, thinking I may not be such a good employee after all. Shoot. :[
I have so much Math Anxiety that I look just like the shaking kitty icon in this journal...

My Handsome fermi.
This past week he has used his expertise and helped me rearrange my crowded little bedroom, advised and helped me get much needed organizational furniture pieces, dealt with my bitchin' in this wretched above 100 degree heat, helped me figure out my stolen cell phone situation, been there to give a hug when my father is cruel to me, driven all over the place to work out at the gym with me and best of all him being here has given me someone to truly love and look forward to spending many more years with.
I have never felt so positive and cheerful about my little life until now.
The Love, I has it. :)
