Happy Birthday, rivers_bend! I hope you are having a lovely day.

In other happy news, as nearly everyone must know by now, Prop. 8 was overturned earlier today. I know it will be appealed in infinitum, but it's nice to be able to hold my head up as a Californian again ( Read more... )

I'm forgoing my usual grumpiness about Valentine's Day for a very important reason: The Courage Campaign is lobbying for the California State Supreme Court to overturn Prop. 8 ( Read more... )

Wow, I am sort of a giant drama queen, aren't I? I basically posted my emo outburst last night and then took to my bed like a Victorian woman with the vapors. I wish I could tell you that I slept for about twelve hours, but that would be a dirty, dirty lie ( Read more... )

Welcome to the most random post ever. Oh, so many, many things to rant about.

There's work (or not work) and my crazy family and general fuckwittery (General fuckwittery? Major Despair. Okay, no one who doesn't watch How I Met Your Mother will get that.)
