tuesday

faith didn't like oprah's show. i only caught the last few minutes. i know faith won't be surprised.. but what i saw, i did. but i will make this comment... from the last few minutes i saw it appears that the world is paying a lot of attention to what they want to pay attention to.. to what will inflame them. and they have that perogative. and granted, our president is acting like a big dumb bully. i'm not sure if the world is aware of the huge peace movement that is taking place here. i'm not sure if the world is paying attention to the big movement of people who are paying attention to the complaints that the rest of the world has towards us and looking to see what can be done, looking to not be the big super power but more of a global community. there is a huge movement of people here who disagree with what is being communicated about the american policies and i don't think the world is paying attention to that. i don't think the islamic and arab world understands that this movement also doesn't hate them and also wants to understand them and work towards global peace. so. i think there are too many misunderstandings. and just like we think they all hate us, they think we all hate them and that just simply isn't true. we must not be reactionary, we must be thoughtful and peaceful.

that said. mom is buying me a bathing suit. i wanted to find a pretty one, but i spent the afternoon looking and then on the net.. nada. so i'm settling on a boring blue one. speedo though. it'll work. this freakin' town has only one place that sells bathing suits year round. and they only have 2 choices. blue or black. jeez. people say "online or go to portland." ferfucksake! thats just ridiculous! this is a metropolitan area of over 200,000 people! eugene is the second largest city in oregon! and only one place in the whole freakin' area?????? good goddess.. even in blacksburg i could find a decent bathingsuit year round! and blacksburg is tiny! okay, not tiny.. but not this big! (its only a town). jeez.. bryson city, north carolina! and thats teensy tiny.. okay, granted at the nantahala outdoor center was the place to get them and they served the whitewater community.. but still.. you get my point. boring blue. *blech*

United For Peace: Join the anti-war movement

I sang for you
though you did not hear
and I sang to the tree spirits
asking them to release your fear
every living thing is vulnerable
I'm powerless to change that
Still I sing for you

I sing with you
though you may not hear
we sing for your spirit
may it rise above fear
every living thing is vulnerable
I'm powerless to change that
Still I sing with you

brooke is a lesbian, radical feminist, cat lover, bibliophile, non-smoker, unitarian universalist (though she doesn't go to fellowship on a regular basis) and in the process of becoming athletic again. she dreams of being jeanne d' arc and swooping in and saving those that need saved (though she'd rather not be burned at the stake). she is a loyal friend who will do anything she can for those she loves, but she can flakey sometimes when her depression flares up. she is a loner. a southerner self-transplanted to the pacific northwest in 1998 and now believes that it doesn't rain enough here. she's known for her honesty, she can't help it, its the only way to be. she is 4'8" tall, and round. she has natural blonde hair and she also has blue eyes. she is very intense. she hates small and large crowds, she prefers the one on one or the one on a few. she has no idea what she wants to do with her life, though she would like to see more of the world than what she has seen so far (a good part of the continental united states) and she very much wants to be a mother. finally, she has huge crushes on alix olson and carolyn gage (these are from a far).
