Hang in there. I've become so discouraged by just about any political discussion, beyond my curmudgeonly attitude these days that if all politics of any persuasion disappeared I'd be more than happy to ignore it all for the rest of my life (yeah, not very grown-up of me, I know, but man, after growing up in DC, I got tired of it fast as an adult), I decided a while ago to just not even try talking about politics with anyone, because I'm so weird and so non-aisle-oriented I seem to piss off everyone. Sigh.
Write when you feel like it, and in the meantime I think you deserve a long hot bath with bubbles.
It's one of the things I'm quickly becoming wearied with, you know? I do have strong opinions, and although I do float to one side or the other on certain issues, on "hot button" things I tend to have a strong opinion.
I DO deserve a bath, darnit. I'm going to go draw one now.
P.S. did any of my e-mails ever get to you? I'm starting to feel like I've got the curse of the Yeti on my e-mail accounts or something.
*hugs* I'm sending up a prayer for you right now. Well, actually, I hope you get the hugs tomorrow. Sometimes I turn off the lights and bury my head in the blankets and listen to Rich Mullins -- there's this one rushing song about the river that seems to make this life fade away

Thanks for staying up and talking with me a bit tonight. I really miss having you physically here, you know? But it was sort of like a continuation of the discussions we had in the car and sitting on the floor of my living room. Only not nearly as long or as in-depth. Girls need their beauty sleep!
You're welcome, and I miss being physically there too -- I hope we can visit again soon. You know, too, the offer is always open if you decide you'd like to come along on my Alaska adventure this summer, especially if you're moving around that time anyway. I could help you get the plane ticket, and you could pay me back with what you'd make at the lodge -- which is a fair amount. Anyway, think about it?
Girls do need their beauty sleep, and I hope you have sweet dreams! I'll see you tomorrow.
It depends on where you live and who your friends are. One of the reasons that Dave and I moved away from Southern Maryland was that we felt like the only liberals up in there, and there was a lot of hostility.
Oh, I'm sure. I live in Kansas... so it's not like there's not a lot of support for my opinions here. On the internet, and in particular, in the fandoms I tend to be involved in, there's usually a disproportionate number of people who disagree with me, though. And the ones that agree tend to not talk about it. I've had political discussions online before that were okay, but these three or four just got way out of hand and went to places I wasn't comfortable with. I'm not very confrontational. I like exploratory debate but not-so-much with the having to defend myself personally bit.

And here's a martini for you, too. :)
