1.what do you think is your most annoying personality trait? 2.whats most important to you involving politics (for ex: abortion, human rights, health care, the budget deficit, blah blah blah...)? 3. have you ever publicly protested for any reason and why?
1. take yr pick! i think the worst is probably my over-sensitivity. i can be a stinky friend to have sometimes because i entertain paranoid fantasies like "wow, she hasn't called me in 2 weeks..i better stop calling to bother her, because she probably hates me and wishes i would leave her alone

i totally understand about the public protest thing. i've never really protested publicly, but i would.. i just havnt found the right group i really want to be associated with. i joined the local chapter of code pink here, but most of them got on my nerves. plus i didnt think they were doing anything really worth while. so dont be embarassed.
i am so the same way about friends.
i believe rape isnt just a women's issue but a society issue. and by that i mean, men are raped, sexually abused, subject to incest, and domestic violence. so- i'm not sure how i feel about the equality issue conserning rape. i dont think its about equality really. but i understand your position.

have you ever been to any of the local chapter n.o.w. meetings? i was wondering about that and thought about checking it out, but then i got paralyzed with fear when thinking about meeting a huge group of strangers! i can see your point as well about men being victims, too. i think what i see happening that causes me to believe that many cases are about equality is the softening of a crime when it involves a man and a woman. brutal murders turn into "domestic disputes" and rape all too often has no consequences. i think if it weren't almost glamourized by media, and if it were taken seriously and punished; it would stop happening so much, maybe not altogether though.

no, but i've felt the same way about going to the now meetings. i actually couldnt find a contact number for the dallas chapter so i emailed the coordinator from the ft worth chapter, but she emailed me back and told me that they are currently not holding meetings..wtf? yeah, so- i dont know. my email is catchmydelirium@yahoo.com if you want to email me, where did you say you were from?
