it's been hot in lalaland lately. and i know, most of you in the rest of the country/world live with summers filled with evil humidity - my favorite quote from Tom Robbins was something I thought was just fanciful imagination until I went to New Orleans and felt that humidity for myself.

The minute you land in New Orleans, something wet and dark ( Read more... )

Hrm. Not sure what I think about the abortion piece. My mother would have aborted me without a doubt if it had been legal. She's told me frequently - asked me "Could you imagine? Your father and I talk about it all the time - how much worse off we would have been without you in our lives ( ... )

This is why I'm pro choice - because as much as I have reservations about choices people make I still think we shouldn't make those choices on a societal scale. Every case is individual in some way. Like im very glad you are in the world. But I also don't think it is right to force someone with no resources - even if it is simply emotional resources - to raise another human being. I mean I think half the pet owners in the world aren't as responsible as the should or could be.... and that is not nearly as intensive a responsibility. I think having children should always be a choice not something someone else decides, you know?

I am totally with you. Well, on everything but the going to Japan for a year thing because while that is *awesome* (and must also feel pretty enormous!!) I am not doing that. *G* But the heat? TOTALLY WITH YOU!! And I love the New Orleans quote, because it's so bizarrely true. While the power was out, every day someone in the apartment complex was down at the grill cooking. Usually two people, taking shifts and cooking whatever people brought them to make sure we all had a constant supply of food for when we wondered down there to attempt to catch a breeze. Food is a huge part of New Orleans life, and I honestly think that's at leas partially because you have to do something to distract yourself from the heat ( ... )
