I've signed up for twitter finally.

I'm not sure how I feel about it, but so many folks are on it.

So here I am, um... haven't tooled around on the site long enough to know where/how to find you, so come find me!

I was almost gonna try to compose an entire essay on this, but I'm too lazy. I'll just state the important points.

The other side is not evil.

Democrats aren't evil.

Republicans aren't evil.

Most of them (That goes for both sides) anyway.

People who vote for the other party have REASONS to do so. They really, truly with all their souls have good reasons. For some people abortion really is killing babies. For some people cutting taxes kills living children.

Please, please, please stop hating each-other. Please give the other side the respect of believing that they are as smart as you, as moral as you, and as reasonable as you are. Or as you aren't. It depends on the topic.

I know many people from both parties and I know this is true. As many stupid people who just follow one party, there are that many doing the same thing on the other side.

If you really believe that half the country is stupid or evil, then there's something wrong with you. That's all there is to it.

We're taught to be tolerant of each-other's ethnicities, sexual preferences, religious beliefs. Why can't we at least be polite about each-other's Politics?

Other notes:

No you don't hate Palin for her voice, come ON people!
No you Don't hate Obama for his. Grow up.

Don't assume every one in the room, at the table, in the group agrees with you. Sure they'll keep quiet. But Silence is not consensus. Think about how you sound.

And that's my self-ritious rant of the day.

I'm truly sorry if I've seriously offended anyone, But i'm kinda sick and tired of the ammount of hate directed around these elections. I've been sick of it since 2004 and It's my damn blog.

All right folks. After a whirlwind stop in Michigan (which included a little jaunt to Rochester NY site of my sister's college education, and graduation where we heart Bill Clinton and a man named Sasakawa, who apparently has cured (mostly) leprosy) I"m off to Colorado!

if I get bored in Nebraska (12 hours of flat, straight road I shudder) I may call you! BEWARE!!

also, here is my address

Elizabeth Moss
c/o Central City Opera
PO Box 218
Central City Colorado
80427

if you send me something, I promise to send you something nifty in return!!

and you people who have graduated! Congratulations again! I"m sorry I dropped off the face of the planet and was not in touch with you over the last month or two, I really miss chatting with folks online! I love you! Congrats again for making it through college without getting arrested or knocked up or (too) addicted to illegal drugs. (those of you to whom this does not apply, well, sorry)

leave me comments! tell me what you're doing this summer!

tee. hee.

(which I needed, since I just learned I'm definately NOT keeping the job. Fuck...)

I am thankful for each and every one of you.

So I've been meaning to play with marzipan for a long time now. The House Thornlea Newsletter deadline Sunday was a perfect excuse!
So I made some marzipan fruit. And one... I guess it's a cookie type thing. I'll have to write the article/talk about what I did tomorrow though 'cause eI'm tired. Anyway, cute picture of tiny lemons and oranges made out of almond/sugar paste should be below!



and I finnally made this shit work
still cant seem to make stuff hide behind the cut, but alt least I made it smaller! There are a real lemon and a real orange as well as the marzipan ones. W00t!

anyway, things have gotten COLD here! Which I suppose is what they're supposed to do in the winter. sigh.

ok, yes, theh picture is sideways, I"M GOING TO BED!

ok... I'm actually crying.
why? you ask?

cutest, saddest thing ever.

I slept a total of... 15 hours last night!!

This kinda scares me actually. I got home from the gym, thought I'd take a nap. Woke up around 11:30, stumbled around like a drunken person and was definately asleep by 12:30. Then I surfaced briefly around 7:45 (my usual wakeup time) and then not agian until sometime between 10 &11

Then I was groggy and ill feeling for most of the day. But I went and bought YET ANOTHER set of LOTR. Why do I never remember to bring the damn thing with me? I mean at this point its pretty much like the bible to me isnt it? (looks significantly at the elvish tattoo on foot) Crazy I am. Also, I bought a kahki trenchcoat which I've been wanting since seeing Breakfast at Tiffany's. This officiallly ends the coats I am allowed to buy EVAR. Or at least until two or more of the ones I have die. Or one of the ones I wear all the time, like my courderoy blazer thing...

Then there was strike, we tore down the Sugar Bean Sisters set in an hour. Way to go us. Took us another hour to put some of it away. Then I watched TV and did some laundry. I finnally shrunk my red wool sweater. It was inevitable. Also. Caught about 1/3 of an ep. of Farcscape. Itwas, I think, Chricton Kicks. Anyway, crazy eppisode where Chricton (sooo not spelled right) and Chiana end up in a Virtual game based on Chriction's life in the Uncharted Territories. Crazy fun, but also sad at the end. Made me SERIOUSLY miss 3rd/4th season Farscape. MUST OWN THEM SOOOOON!

They're on my netflix though. Perhaps I shall go move them up the qeue. I've got, like some really good classic movies I've been meaning to see for years on that list, but I keep bumping them down for things I really WANT to see. Like Farscape...

Things I nearly ran over today

goat
chicken
people on horses

YAY for driving about the countryside!

My Unitarian Jihad Name is: Sister Divine Howitzer of Reflection. What's yours?

Hello!!
Am in Virginia unpacking car.

funny story

last night I went camping for my birthday

I locked my keys in the car

this morning I broke into my car with a piece of barbed wire I found on the ground.

Go me!

now I"m off horseback riding and to the waterpark.

Its my birthday It's my birthday! Its my birrrrrthday its my birthday!
(sung to tune of darling clementine...

that is all

except that I'm so excited! I dont really know why, nothing terribly exctiting is happening.

except that Sarah and I are goign to the Ren Faire, then I'm camping out up in the National Forrest all by my self (for meditation purposes)

and then tomorrow! Which is everyone's day off, we're going horseback riding and to the water park and then to dinner!

but for now I have to get some work done

wheeee!

send me some lovin!

that really is all

yup doing lots of props
14 hour (a day) work week last week...
and I"ve been silverleafing all this week
anyway on dinner brewak must go
send me funny comments! I miss you guys!

So...
one interneted computer for everyone, can no longer hang out on said internet doing fun things.
My braaaain! Im addicted.

I'll write about and post (backdated) the rest of my trip, but included,

possibly getting a job while driving 80 miles an hour

getting a speeding ticket for driving... fast

cruise control

yup...

its crazy here, I'm in a TINY former goldmining town but now it's all casinos.
I"m being put up in a cute litte house and stuff.

ok, someone wants the computer, must wrap up.

miss you guys. Very very much.

So...
it took me two days to get here instead of the one I was planning.
Why you ask?
Let me tell you!

First: I didnt pack soon enough. This is my fault. So I didnt get out of my house/apartment until 11:30
that's ok I thought, its AT MOST a 12 hour drive. not bad

but THEN I had to drop things off... Comcast, Shari's Jimmy's

not so bad, I know where they are, Jimmy is actually on the way out of town.

First: couldnt find Comcast... directions were wrong. Got out of Boston Proper (Brookline area) around 12:45
that's not too bad, I thought. I can make this drive in 10 hours, sure I"ll be exhausted, but whatever, I'll be home, its pretty much a clear shot from rte 9 (Where Jimmy lives at Mt Ida college) to I-90 which I take to Canada...Right? RIGHT?

nope! Some MORON driving a tanker of liquid METHANE rolled over on I 90 right where I needed to get on it

Now I knew this when I left Jimmy with the group ritual gear from ICPC. I left around 2pm. Not too terrible I thought, late night. lots of drivng, I"ll make it, afterall I'm tough.

I'm told rte 9 is completely blocked, so I took random other road.

now random other road turned out to be the Old Boston Post Road, or Ye Old First Road out of Boston EVAR. Kinda neat, kept passing battle sites from the French and Indian War etc.

But then the traffic stopped.

It took me until 4pm to get to WOOSTER! (WOCESTER?) This town is ONE HOUR outside of Boston folks.

By the time I made it to Rochester NY where my sister goes to college I was so exhausted I wanted to die. It was 9pm. Its another 6hrs from there to home that's 3 in the morning. Somewhere between arriving at 2am and 3am lies the cut off for this being reasonable.

We went to dinner, hung out, and went to sleep. IT was fun seeing Carolyn, I remember laughing a lot.

7pm, I got up, I was gone by 8:30 (we went for bagles, yum! but crappy coffee)

'round about 9, I deicde that I"ve driven past the Niagra falls far too many times without seeing them. I get out of the car (well, I get off the freeway, get lost, get gas, try to use the bathroom, find there is no paper, get lost again, and then find parking) and see the falls. briefly considered jumping in. Chose not to jump in, kept driving.

After that it was smooth sailing. Or driving. Canada is boring. Customs was fine. The line for customs however took an hour.

I got home at 3pm this afternoon.
So much for my two days of relaxing in MI.
Sucky!

Now I'm off to bed, I"ll keep you posted.

Tomorrow: Birmingham Day parade! Dad's running for State Rep. His opposition (in the primary) jus dropped out. His "actual" opposition (the democrat) is a sacrifical lamb. He's gonna win. I think this is pretty cool. ANyway, because of this I must be in the parade, handing out Chuck Moss Paraphanalia. We have... lessee.... post it notes, nail files, pens, T-shirts (For us to wear) and... other stuff...
craaazy

anyway, off to bed.

P.S. my dog is cute

Well this is it, everything's packed but me and the computer and the TV.
Why am I all packed up but sitting on the floor wiht the TV and the computer you ask?

There seems to be an accident blocking my way out of town. (I-90 at rte. 9 exactally where I need to go!)

ah well, gotta just bite the bullet and do it.

I'll be home by midnight! Craazy

bye apartment! I love you!

bye Boston I love you too!

bye people I know who live here, I love you most!

*waves*
*tear*
