These mist covered mountains
Are a home now for me
But my home is the lowlands
And always will be
Some day you'll return to
Your valleys and your farms
And you'll no longer burn
To be brothers in arms
Through these fields of destruction
Baptisms of fire
I've watched all your suffering
As the battles raged higher
And though they did hurt me so bad
In the fear and alarm
You did not desert me
My brothers in arms
There's so many different worlds
So many differents suns
And we have just one world
But we live in different ones
Now the suns gone to hell
And the moons riding high
Let me bid you farewell
Every man has to die
But its written in the starlight
And every line on your palm
We're fools to make war
On our brothers in arms

I went to the store for a new bike seat. The cute boy working there gave me a $35 seat for $15, because he said I had "a pretty face". I like specialty bike shops. I rate this place almost as good as the place who got Becky a new wheel for her chair. :D

Roy Jongebloed: Thirty years ago I was on the inside of the fence as nuclear protestors were outside the fence, holding their babies, saying close down the plant, the radiation was going to kill my baby. I said to myself (for real, actually thought it); the more nuclear plants that are closed down, the more we will need foreign oil, and those same babies will be dying in a war in the middle east. And what happened?
Kerry L Knauf: Sure hit the nail right on the head....will people never learn? Wait until people have no houses to live in and the feds control any electricity you use? What then? What's next "Soylent Green"?
Janet Jongebloed: Yeah, but only because we haven't put enough money into other forms of renewable energy. The old model does not work, it leads to BOTH nuclear power plants AND wars. It does not have to be one or the other.
Kerry L Knauf: Where will the money come from????
Janet Jongebloed: Where would the money come from? I find this statement really sad.. if the government can find money to send our young men and women to war, why can't they find money to finance science achievements? You know, things that create and build up instead of destructive things that tear down? I think it's more priorities and what looks good on the news. Explosions are exciting, science is not.. at least to the common public.
Roy Jongebloed: Janet, try not being so rude. It is ok to be rude to me, I understand your immaturity, but do not be rude to my friends. When you grow up and get a job, instead of living off your father's love for you, then maybe you will have a different perspective and attitude. Meanwhile you are welcome to share your views and have an intelligent conversation, but grown ups do this in a pleasant manner, rudeness has no place in my world.
Janet Jongebloed: What was rude about my comment? Maybe you just don't like my point of view. I find a hell of a lot more rudeness in the way you dismissed my point of view than anything I said. Wow.. what a dick. Yeah, see, THAT was rudeness, if you wanted to know the difference.
I honestly don't get it. Fucking moron. This is why I don't talk to my uncle.

Joyce: Things are coming, Dawn. Listen, things are on their way. I love you, and I love Buffy, but she won’t be there for you.
Dawn: What? Why are you…?
Joyce: When it’s bad, Buffy won’t choose you. She’ll be against you.
I feel like this. Have felt like it for a while now. Too complicated to explain why.

Ugh. I did not get to play Ciara tonight. I totally was not in right head space/mood to roleplay. All I wanted was to relax and play with Ian after this crazy messed up week. *pout*

"I really don't mind what happens now and then
As long as you'll be my friend at the end
If I go crazy then will you still
Call me Superman
If I'm alive and well, will you be
There holding my hand"
-Kryptonite, Three Doors Down
I figured some stuff out today.
I know where I stand on things and feel strong and okay with my viewpoints.
I can look in the mirror and have no regrets.

I didn't believe Boglin when he and Greg were talking about 3D printers. But now, after seeing it on YouTube and all the things you can make with one.. my mouth is just hanging open and I still don't quite understand it. It's um.. wow. Weird. It can materialize anything you can think of.. which may possibly crash the whole economic system someday.

I've woken up many times lately, with Shilo cuddled up either on top of my chest or next to me, usually purring or just dozing herself. It reminds me so much of Sebastian.
..and then she realizes I'm awake and bites me on the lip until I get up and play with her. That part is new. She likes to nibble human flesh, which was never really big on Sebastian's lists of things to do.
Also, whenever I leave my laptop lying around she opens a whole bunch of different windows, and I come back and there's all sorts of programs running. The other day, she even turned the whole computer on. I'm wondering if she's part of some top secret mailing list for kittens that want to take over the world. Either that, or she's just a ICANHASCHEEZBURGER fan.

I don't want to be your glass of single malt whiskey
Hidden in the bottom drawer
I don't want to be a bandage if the wound is not mine
Lend me some fresh air" -Alanis, Not The Doctor

Today is Canada day. Let's hear it for the Mounties, the crazy boys who ask me to dance in Vegas, and the people who rob your car while it's parked in one of the last spots in the first tourist rest area over the boarder and take your Ghandi books and camera and birth certificates.
Okay, um.. that last one can go to hell.
EDIT: *headdesk* I has bad spellling. Oi. I should fix that, but I'm too busy trying to figure out how to bomb Canada. Er.. I mean.. send very many gifts to our wonderful neighbors of the north. Yep. That's what I meant. A-huh.

I am done keeping my mouth shut. I much rather like having people hate me for things I've said than to hate myself for things I've left unsaid.

I talked with Boglin about plans today. What his were, what Beth's were, what mine were.. we made steps and bulleted lists. And it felt, for once, that I wasn't in this alone. There are other people out there feeling the same way that I am, who want things that I want and who are willing to put the work in to make things better. After being so isolated, it really felt good to come together as a group again and put our heads together to think of something to get us all out of this hole.
I love my friends dearly, but so many of them lately have been all about getting married, having children and getting individual homes.. all little separated islands unto themselves, little secluded nuclear families. More of a tossed salad than a melting pot. That's just not me. I don't do the expected conformist thing. My friends ARE my family, though I'm realizing that few of them see it this way. Or at least not anymore.
At least Beth and Boglin seem to be on my same wavelength and they want a community that's based more on friends and chosen family, which is really nice. More my style.
