    Freepers never cease to amaze.
    So McCain ended up defending Obama against some of his more mouthbreathing supporters, to negative crowd effect.

    The Freepers, of course, react honorably and respectfully.

    I love Free Republic. It gathers all the real loonbags in one place. It's almost as hilarious as Stormfront.

    Mmm.
    I have a self-hosted blog and am part of an awesome blogging community.

    I got paid today.

    I got a raise.

    I have this whole weekend off of work. And next weekend too, as a matter of fact.

    It is blustery outside.

    I <3 my gaming friends and the epic group AIM chats we have.

    And we might possibly be running Karazhan tonight (or if not tonight, then sometime in the very near future) as a big group for the first time in months, if we can pull everything together. Prince is already crying.

    I think I might make a hot chocolate.

    ...

    Score.

    was going to mention that Law & order season 4 episode 21 "falacy"
    could be me, this is my favorite episode of law & order svu my
    favorite show on tv
    21 "Fallacy" Barbie Kligman Juan J. Campanella April 18, 2003 E3117

    Benson and Stabler try to prove self-defense when a rape victim kills
    her attacker. Events take an unusual turn when they find out that the
    victim is a pre-operative transsexual.


    Ill be in Oakland next week, I hope you have a safe trip. I was going
    to suggest those for you. if you use netflix. Its one of my favorite
    episodes, of my favorite tv show and the only one I really make a
    point to watch.

     


     I also wanted to mention today I was called for an interview at
    Larkin Street Youth services, where I applied.
    http://www.larkinstreetyouth.org/
    as a youth peer counselor, wish me luck, I have an interview and they
    also will be present at a job fair next week I am attending.

     

    Id be leading 18-25 and under year olds with substance abuse, runways
    and GLBT Issues, primarly, though not elusively, they also work with
    12-under 18 as well temporary until they (legal system) decides what
    to do, Its more of a youth homeless shelter program, but Id get paid
    to work as a entry level position. which after my IRS issues are
    handled I mentioned going to city collage to seek a MSW, or BSW, or
    LMFT program.

    I meet the requirements for the position.

    Slept rather splendid last night, awoke at 3ish this morning, showered was read for my day, Became well rested good today. I also talked to my wonderful therapist about things in my life; the medication for the PTSD seems to be working, rather well.
    Went to a 7am meeting at the Alano club did not have any nightmares last night.  Furthermore, I spoke to some friends in town, and did some contacting, yesterday I cried a good part of the day, and listened to led zeppelin, Billy Idol, The Cure, Depeche Mode, Ministry, Ramones, White Zombie, Brooks and Dunn, and Little Texas   grieving to my grandmother’s death.
    I miss Texas, I miss Houston, and I miss Corinne and others from 3296. I wonder if the big bad wolf is still happening. My life is unmanageable and in shambles,  I also hope one day I am able to rejoin my foes, and those I scared  In the Houston Texas TG Community with my drinking, I am finding that as I gain sobriety, I am more afraid when shit happens and want to be less attention whoreish.
    To futherstate, things the power of resentment, I understand my guilt and shame of my true self, and the power of my hate and hate of victor, john, Enrique, Carl, elm dean, tine, James, Henry are killing me inside.
    Furthermore, be allowing the anger, blood and resentment and the desire for vigilantism. Moreover, I allow them to win by allowing the resentment to live, it needs to go in my god box and my own personal Jesus, and may they rot in HELL!!!
    I need restraint of computer, word, and tongue, is the best option, Intellectually I can comprehend that but it’s difficult to get over the anger of my hate crime that the bastards I listed above, that the FBI nor the United States Government only certain, state, local, and county governments reluctantly accept transgender individuals with legal rights, protections.
    I am controversial which is why I publish my blog, website and domain, to show the daily struggles, keep a life online, and show the world we are not that different from integration of African Americans.
    I wish the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints would allow us, rights and equity and understand how many GLBTQ members end up committing suicide.

    Slept good last night, some women where I live brawled, the other thing was I received a call from Larkin street youth services, which was amusing. They want me to interview for a youth councilor position.

    For those of you who don’t know. Larkin Street is a nonprofit that works with youth who are 12-1under 25 but also is well known for working with youth 18-under 25 whom runs away from home due to being gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender or queer. That’s their primary clientele, they also work with substance abuse, former foster care kids, and a lot of kids from Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama.

    Furthermore, they are well known for their work with transgender youth. They are similar to covenant house run by catholic charities. Furthermore, it is an entry-level position, which I plan to attend City College and get a MSW, or become a LMT and continue to work in this field given it’s something I understand, and I get to help the next generation on their road to transition.

    Holiday Meltdown
    With the market and financial crisis eclipsing even the sniping between the Presidential candidates, it's almost a sure-fire thing that this holiday season won't be like the others.

    In fact, I am almost willing to bet that this will be The Year Without X-Mess- or at least shops full of people maxing out their plastic on More Stuff.

    There will probably still be parties and gatherings and pageants, but my prediction is that we'll swap the big giveaway for more practical things- like actual interaction with family and friends. Sure, there might be a frenzy of TV buying- with the looming DTV disaster rollout in February, but even that might be curtailed unless there are some big sales.

    Retailers already have their antennae quivering- they're not buying as much stuff to stock, and my guess is that they'll start their sales earlier. I did not get the usual avalanche of catalogs- which is a big warning sign.

    I've been a Buy Little or Nothing sort of person during the holiday season- I prefer to give dinners, or consumable gifts- if I give gifts at all. I believe that the spirit of generosity and giving should be practiced year-round, not just during that frenetic 45 90-day period just before December 25.


    Will this be a Buy Nothing season for you, or do you plan to have the usual blowout? Or will you moderate things if you are a 'blowout' sort of person? Take the poll!

    "breaking" news
    It must be a reflection of the times when I get a CNN Breaking News email, and my first thought is, "What is broken now?

    And I wonder how many synonyms for 'falling' there are? dip, plummet, plunge, fall, drop...

    WaPo is pondering that same question.

    We're all impoverished now... (to the tune of Keillor's "We're all Republicans Now")

    Funny moments in cultural exchange
    I went out for dinner and dessert with a colleague from Microsoft last night. He's Malaysian in nationality but his family is Chinese. We had a really long, lovely talk about the world, America, being a citizen of the world, economics, his family's experience being foreigners in Malaysia, etc. You know. The good stuff.

    On this trip, I've been dressing very nicely. Dress shirts, coat, and often a waistcoat. I keep my hair back neatly. I look very formal. I actually like looking formal, despite what my demeanor might suggest. But, I'm a touch overdressed. This leads to funny conversations like this:

    Colleague: "So, where is your last name from?"
    Me: "It's Austrian. The side of my family my name comes from lived in America for centuries but we think they came from Austria."
    Colleague: "Oh. Now it makes sense."
    Me: "What?"
    Colleague: "Why I keep wanting to call you 'Mozart'."

    I WILL DO SCIENCE TO IT also, question
    So I am massively over-protective of my betta fish to the point that I have these little test kits for him and test his water all the time, I only feed him a certain brand of food and a very specific amount, I do very regular water changes, etc. Go go go, Pet Store Slave! /pose

    Anyways the ammonia test strips have been telling me crazy things like "there is so much ammonia in your water even ten minutes after a water change that your fish shouldn't even be alive." I figured this was silly because my fish looks fine, and on top of that I've never heard of an ammonia concentration that dense. But I am a concerned fishkeeper so I went out and bought the supposedly super-accurate test tube kit that eliminates false positives. So I sat here all excited-like and took a water sample and mixed up the chemicals (at my computer desk; possibly a bad idea seeing as the air smells weird now and I have a headache, but SCIIIIENNNCE) and...

    "There is so much ammonia in your water that your fish shouldn't even be alive."

    /headdesk

    I don't understand it, he gets one pellet of food a day and I watch him eat it so there is no way he is being overfed and there is no leftover food in the water, and I do weekly water changes. He gets better care than most bettas out there. And yet we have this NH3 overload coming from nowhere. So confused. I bought a new water conditioner today that supposedly removes ammonia. We will give that a shot.

    And now a completely unrelated computer question:

    How long does it take, on average, for a domain name to be registered and start pointing to my purchased hosting space? I signed up for http://aspectofthehare.net four days ago and it is still telling me that it doesn't exist and a WHOIS says that it is unregistered. Should I call BlueHost and poke them, or does it really take a while?

    Edit: Never mind, apparently they told me they'd registered it and I had to go do it manually. ZOMG IT'S WORKING

    Oh, deer!
    State Farm releases 2008 deer collision numbers:

    Top five are West Virginia, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Iowa, and [orchestral crash!] Arkansas!

    We need a longer deer season. It's already huge thing in this state, but I listened to the radio the other day, and heard that hunting is actually declining. Sad, really- venison has no hormones or antibiotics in it, and is truly 'organic'. Yes, folks, "Bambi" is delicious. I like venison chili, myself. Om, nom, nom!

    Be careful driving out there- the deer are active this time of year.
