Hello All.

Yes, I know my images are defunct, Beckers is fixing that for me.

Anyways, birthday pretty much sucked, nothing much in the way of ANYTHING happened at all.

Attended my Democratic Christmas Party, and my Mom's christmas party, both on the same day, at the same place only a few hours apart. That sucked.

Am now DESPRATLEY Ill because someone very dear to me gave me THEIR CONTAGION...........THANKS ALOT! I have to go Christmas shoppign again tomorrow, so am sick, and stressed, and irritable but otherwise ok.

Am as usual WORKING MY ASS OFF against Bush, my Democratic Pro-Edwards Anti-Bush journal shall be open soon! YAY! It's goign to be SO COOL to......seriously, so many great ideas, petitions, all the dirt on Bush........great stuff.

Sent Christmas Cards, sent some packages, some others will be late.

Let's see. What the hell else? Oh yes, 24 possible American Soldiers dead....NOT going to be a very Merry Christmas for ALOT of families. That's sad, it's also disgusting. I cried, I cry for people who I do not know........I pray for people I do not know....and I dont even pray in the literal sense, but when this happens I do.

It's hard to be all happy about a holiday that's all "love and peace" when your government is bombing THE SHIT out of people.

Oh, pardon me for not "Decking The Halls."

~Rolls eyes~

Well, at least I'm not sleeping with blood on my hands. I sleep in heavenly peace.

That Bastard should be indicted on War Crimes. And on that note.

"All I want for Christmas IS MY COUNTRY BACK......."

Also I lost all faith in humanity last night.

Me and my friend Julie were out walking my dogs, well anyways, all of a sudden like 3 15 year olds on bikes pass us. They got a few feet away, a car pulled out, like 30 feet away from them with it's brights on. The oNE kid SCREAMS the following.

"HOLY SHIT! A CAR!"

Oh gee, a CAR...on a ROAD...you think?

WHO WOULD HAVE THOUGHT? Certainly not me.....god, people are so STUPID!

Wheeee......WEAPON OF MASS DISTRACTION!
