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).

the crystal natch episode from last night ended up blowing up big time. my email was sent public, and then the man attacked in ways never expected. after that the group got on *his* case for the way he treated me. and then things settled down, and i decided for my own peace of mind i needed to apologize. i did, and then he did. it all worked itself out and the group acknowledged that all of us are under a lot of stress right now *and* that we are all on the same side.

so tonight with that in mind i go to the peace vigil. the prowar people have grown in numbers. they stand in our spots. i get wind of a confrontation and i go into peace monitor mode.... i look around and know where others in the peace monitor group are. but nothing happens.. thank the goddess. then i almost go into confontation mode.. i think about saying something to these people about how we peace activits love this country too, but i decide not too. i know that these people won't listen to my reason and if i attempt to try to find common ground, re: we support the troops too, but i know that my attempts will only go on deaf ears. i know that we might very well start to shout and that won't accomplish anything. so, i cross the street, get in my car and drive away. and i feel more at peace.
