| Friend List Cut |
[08 Nov 2003|09:58am] |
I edited my friends list. Got rid of over 100 of you. It's nothing personal, I just don't read a lot of whats on my friends page. I still love you. Don't be sad!
To those of you I DID keep, I DO read you. So there you go.

I just cleaned up my friends list. If I took you off, it's because I don't really know you, haven't seen you post in a while or maybe I'm just doofy and meant to click the person BELOW you.
No hard feelings. If you want to stay, comment and I'll add yer ass right back. And the rest of you too.

Due to certain issues I'm dealing with right now, my journal is going friends only. It will go back to public purty soon, but for now, if you aren't on my friends list and you would like to be, please drop a reply here and I'll add you.

1. If they kill off Giles, I will hunt Joss Whedon down and beat him senseless. Then I will stop watching the show he no longer has the kneecaps or spine to make :)
2. Andrew, Warren, Jonathan. The trio of nerds or Andrew Warren Jonathan, new hit teen sensation!

What a day. Just so you have an idea of how it feels to be me, imagine a dull headache tagging along behind me ALL DAY. Including now.
My sister's party was today. I went out earlier to the book store to get myself something to read at work when I'm feeling homicidal. I was kinda ticked that there are NO GOOD magazines left at the store I go to. No Colors, Mother Jones, Ms, or Bust. It's RARE that they have Bitch but it wouldn't matter if they did because I have a subscription to that one already :-P
I did end up buying this because I've seen it at the store too many times and passed it up. I'm sick of pretending I don't want to read it. So I'll start on that when my current book is done :)
I went to Kohls where I was completely ignored by the catty saleswomen and nearly run over by two children whose parents allowed them to push carts through the jewelry section.
I bought my sister the Emily Strange book, a turquoise necklace and a little retro pinup lotion/makeup set. I think she liked them. I've still got one more present for her, but I could only find it on Ebay so she'll have to wait.
We had her birthday dinner at my parents house, and my grandma was there. It was the first grandchild birthday since my Grandpa died. There were these awkward pauses where everyone knew he was supposed to chime in like he always did...but now they were just silent.
I had a sip of the Manhattan that Grandma carries around in a little flask. WOW. Good stuff. Like a fuzzy navel...but on fire. Couldn't have helped my head. I have a feeling only sleep will though.
I'm craving turkey jerky. A lot. Why aren't there more stores that sell nothing but jerky?

| Do you want the optional insurance??? NO! FUCKING NO! |

After listening to the neighbors above us playing their X-Box WITH their subwoofer on at ALL hours of night, the rythmic thudding got to us I guess. We went and bought our own today. While we were looking at the game, some big tall Best Buy guy came to offer us advice on games to buy. I'd already picked out Oddworld and Kev grabbed Halo since it doesn't come with the system anymore. RAR.
Anyway, he suggested this weird ass game...and the second HE left, ANOTHER fucking employee wandered up to harass us about the replacement guarantee thing. We said no. A LOT. We listened to her story about how she had to send her system back to Tokyo or something and we STILL declined. NO. We DON'T want the insurance! BACK OFF.
We wandered around a little more, but there were SO MANY people we both just wanted to get the hell out of there.
We get to the register.
Cashier: "Can I interest you in the optional insurance thingy (I'm paraphrasing here)?"
Kevin: "No thanks. We've been asked twice. We'll pass"
Cashier: "Are you sure...because if it broke..."
Kevin : "Yeah, we're fine. If it breaks, my brother will fix it"
OTHER NOSY CASHIER: "and if your brother breaks it, you can just get a new one...like that"
K-RYST! You'd think these people get a million dollars for every one of these they unload on some poor sucker. NO. We don't want it. We didn't want it from any of the OTHER employees lining the gauntlet of harassment that we ran to get to the register. Just give us our fucking games. Yes. We KNOW it could break. If it doesn, we'll deal. BACK THE FUCK OFF!
If one more person asks me if I'm "sure...because you might..." I will hire someone to break their kneecaps.
We came home. We played Halo. I blew up a bunch of alien guys and felt a whole lot better :) YAY.
Also, when I got home there was a letter from my pen pal. She MADE me a necklace. She took two of those stones that people are making magnets out of and she glued a lil Beer-Chan from my last letter to her in between and then glued some twine stuff around it. It's SO CUTE. It really meant a lot that she made it for me. She also sent stickers and candy for a late Halloween. Yay penpal.
I have to find something to get my sis for her birthday. The movie she wants is only out on DVD. It's impossible to find stuff on VHS anymore. DAMN. I even contemplated just buying her a DVD player, but my mom would have a cow and might not let her have it. I don't want to ruin her birthday by having one of her gifts refused. We have the money, but I know my mom doesn't want me spending it all on her like that.
GAhh. The day seems to have gone too fast, but it was a good day, and I have tomorrow. I sent out more resumes today too. *Crossing fingers*

| Tell President Bush to Sign the Afghan Freedom Support Act of 2002 |
[16 Nov 2002|05:43am] |
Take action
Passed by the House on Wednesday, the Afghan Freedom Support Act of 2002 includes $15,000,000 each year for the Ministry of Women’s Affairs and $5,000,000 each year for the Independent Human Rights Commission. The earmarks for the Women’s Ministry and the Human Rights Commission were initiated by Senator Barbara Boxer (D-CA) in an amendment that was passed unanimously by the Senate Foreign Relations Committee and is included in both the House and Senate versions of the Act

Demand Emergency Contraception Over-the-Counter
In February of 2001, more than 70 organizations, including the Feminist Majority Foundation, submitted a joint petition to the FDA demanding that emergency contraception be approved for over-the-counter use. Since then, the Women's Capital Corporation, the manufacturer of Plan B®, has applied to the FDA to change the distribution status of Plan B® from prescription to over-the counter. FMF's Campus Program has launched a major campaign to petition the FDA to make emergency contraception available over-the-counter. Join the campaign today by educating your campus about EC and organizing a petition drive to the FDA. Use FMF's national petition to collect signatures and then mail the petitions in to us so we can deliver them in bulk to the FDA!
I used Plan B. It would have been helpful to me were it available OTC, because I would not have been worried for so long before I was able to get an appointment to get some. I think it would be beneficial to have Plan B available OTC because women could have it with them, should they need it.

Oppose the Nomination of Michael McConnell
McConnell has openly stated that he believes Roe v. Wade is unconstitutional. He signed a statement of pro-life principle and concern that calls for embryos to be considered persons under the law. He applauded a judge for not following the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances Act (FACE).”
Oppose the Confirmation of Dennis Shedd
Shedd is opposed by a wide range of civil rights and women’s rights groups because of his conservative rulings on race discrimination cases and his support of states’ rights arguments that would limit the protections afforded to ordinary citizens. He should not be confirmed.

| The cookies with the edible glitter :) |

My Hamtaro gameboy game came in the mail today! It's OVERWHELMINGLY cute. *Melt* I've spent most of the afternoon curled up in bed playing.
I stopped at the dollar store to buy some stuff and they had these old-fashioned cookies. They're sugary with red and green glittery topping, so they sparkle. I haven't had cookies like these in such a long time. In fact, I think the last time was at my Grandma's house on my dad's side. She used to have a cookie jar that was shaped like a big yellow smiley face, and it would always have a different kind of cookie in it. I always liked the glittery ones the best though.
So yay Hamtaro game and cookies :) I also got some real stationery with little cartoon bunnies and pictures of real cakes and cupcakes :) Sooo cute.
