she 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).

brooke: force should never be a resort, our brains are evolved enough to come up with non forceful means to settle our differences.

brooke thought: oh yeah. the world is run by men, the kind who have no idea that their brains are actually at the end of their penisis. the end of a penis is small so of course they can't come with ways to solve these problems without violence.

i'm ready for the rally tommorrow. i'll be with the women in black contingent. i've actually found my black pants and black loafers. i got a black peasant type shirt the other day to take to greece which is big enough to go over another shirt, cause its likely to be raining. but all this means i'm not gonna make a new sign. i'm going to be marching to the rally with a group of concerned west side neighbors who are leaving from the fairgrounds. the students at the u of ore. are also marching but since i'm a west side resident and not a student anymore (even though everyone thinks i am cause i look so young) i'm gonna do that. plus the parking is *way* easier.

our house of rep. dude peter defazio will be there. he voted for unlimited war powers against afghanistan but now he's against this war. i'm rather pissed at him for voting the way he did about afghanistan. i think before he starts talking about peace and all that he should apologize for voting to kill. maybe this is supposed to make up for it, but it doesn't. he needs to apologize.

btw. brooke, over at the bitter shack of resentment, has co-written a book that is due out in may. its called "Brave Hearts, Rebel Spirits:
A Spiritual Activist's Handbook".. from the synopsis over at powells:

Brave Hearts, Rebel Spirits is both a celebration of the people who have chosen a heart-centered path of service and social action and a practical guidebook for others to follow in their footsteps or carve out their own road to social action. Strikingly designed pages present the lives and words of Mahatma Ghandi, Martin Luther King, Jr., Thich Nhat Hang, Ceasar Chavez, Aung San Suu Kyi, and many others who have transformed their deep personal faiths into non-violent action for change. Alongside their stories is practical information about the kind of projects and programs that individuals can get involved with to make a difference today.Anita Roddick begins the book with an urgent plea for everyone to get involved, followed by inspiring, short profiles of peace crusaders of our time from around the world.

you can read more of the synopsis and while you are there you can preorder it (i myself am hoping mother kali's will carry it and if they don't i'll order it through them).

now its after midnight and i should think about going to sleep. with the aid of sominex.
