and then i read about the toes, and heard the drips
mmhmm
-ishelli (because it made me laugh)
actually, this is probably one of my favorite entries i've written.  and i got many similar comments.  it's Dec 15, 2004.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

haha i know what bushwhacked means!!
*waits for someone to hand me a cookie*

...
*still waiting*
-ishelli (because it made me hungry)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

im bopping around my desk to this song right now...
-greendaySPECIAL (because its a song written about the death of jerry garcia's mother)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

hey, i saw your sister at challenge day the other day.  she looks like you.

AHA.  now i get to say that to someone else.

maybe one day i'll have the honor of running up to her and screaming erin.
-peartree (because not long after this, i walked up to her sister and called her jackie.  or maybe before this.  i can't remember.)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

i want one of those hats...

ooh i know we should all wear those to school someday.  organized self-protection! woo hoo!
-Euchari (because it responds to my entry about a tin foil hat my sister made me so that the CIA couldnt read my mind and it made me laugh.  except that i ended up stepping on my hat, which made me cry almost)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

you're just too politically active for your own good. But keep up the good work!! Just don't get yourself on any assassination lists.
-DoubleDKatie6 (because this is a concern of mine.  the assassination thing, not the politically active part)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

i'll ask you something that i've wanted to ask you for a very long time.

do

you

hate

lemons?

because it seems like you do, and i cant possible understand why.

and i'd appreciate a honest answer.
-peartree (because i'm not sure how she found out)

~~~~~~~~~~

im sick and tired of people asking me
"why do i hang out with erin?"
and i say
"because im cool!"
-bbyxhuqqable (because it almost related to the entry she commented on)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Macys is having a sale today on sock stealing gnomes. Ask our information desk for more details!"
-greendaySPECIAL (because it sounds strange out of context)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

in world history today we were talking about how peasants were oppressed in the feudal system and wondering why they didn't rebel against the lords...

i wonder if future generations will look back on us and wonder why we didn't rebel
-ishelli (because i've wondered that, too)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

dude, i'm all about that "my country left me" quote. that's awesome. we seriously need more people like you in this country.
-vtchickt28 (because it's fun to be complimented by people you've never met)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

i'm done

Roberts should not be voted onto the Supreme Court until he actually answers questions about his beliefs.  At confirmation hearings, people have a right to know about the person they are "confirming."  The Supreme Court is very important, and is now perched precariously on the edge of a disaster for women everywhere.  We have lost two Supreme court people who were keeping women's rights alive.  We can't rush replacements through who won't tell us what they believe.

In addition, it's just plain stupid to nominate Roberts as the Cheif Justice when he's not even a member of the court yet.  How can you nominate him for such an important position when you don't know if he can even handle being on the Supreme court?  Chief Justice should go to someone who has been on the Supreme Court and has experience. 

It's like Bush is personally opposed to appointing capable people to improtant jobs.  First FEMA, now the Supreme Court?  This alone is, as far as I'm concerned, unforgiveable.

There we go, haven't done a rant in awhile.  It doesn't matter much though, few people read my xanga.

Oh, but GOOD NEWS.  Turns out, I'm a psychic or something.  I discovered recently that by thinking something, i can make it happen. 

Like yesterday, I thought "I really don't want to walk home the long way, but I will anyway cuz then I can walk with Kristin" and then Kristin ends up with (dun dun dun) a doctor's appointment so I get to walk home the short way!

Then when I was walking home I thought: "This kid walking behind me is really obnoxious." And then the kid turned and crossed the street.

And then later I thought: "Why are those kids throwing a dead squirrel up on that road sign?" And actually this isn't an example of my being a psychic, it was just really gross.

And there are other examples I can't think of now, but i am definitely psychic. 

So there.

"After all, Jesus was a rebel. Jesus was the Original Liberal. Jesus was a devoted pacifist and a badass egalitarian and his best friends were all whores and dissidents and freethinkers and miscreants, artists of every shape and size and haircut and of course, were he walking around today, Jesus would be pretty much loathed and ostracized if not outright hacked to bits by the Christian Right. "Goddamn hippie liberal tree hugger," they'd sneer, waving scythes and Bibles. "What the hell?" Jesus would say.

All of which places Jesus in direct line of the iPod's marketing demographic and all of which naturally raises the question, well, so just what does the great mystic and healer and closet Buddhist and funky savior of humanity have on his holy iPod?"
