  1. 84% a child of the eighties. Yeah, I wasn't allowed to watch most tv and I never really liked Michael Jackson--his shoulder pads scared me. But I do remember Fraggle Rock, the advent of Bubble Tape, those fruit bars that tasted so good but looked so ugly, Cyndi Lauper being the coolest thing I had ever seen (or heard), when so few people had answering machines and NO ONE had cell phones so that it actually made more sense to ride your bike to your friend's house than call (in case she was already outside), those Velcro closure tennis shoes with the pockets in them, that weird period where everybody was buying the white denim clothing with the paint splattered on it, and Jellies being about as ubiquitous as are Crocs now. Yep.
  2. Your Gray Eyes Say You're Serious and Logical You are often seen as serious and rational. You are hard to read. You don't let other people see your true emotions. You believe your mood is private. You see things logically. You are good at not judging until all the facts are in. You are sure of what you know, and you have no problem defending your beliefs to others. What Does Your Eye Color Say About You? Blogthings: Free Quizzes for Everyone
  3. You Should Honeymoon in Europe! You are a traditional romantic at heart... You crave a honeymoon that will keep you swept off your feet. You likely have a taste for fine wine, museums and beautiful walks. If not, it's about time you develop one. You're the type of person who can sit for hours in a cafe, sipping wine and staring into your sweetie's eyes. Europe is the perfect spot for you to discover why you fell for each other in the first place. Where Should You Go on Your Honeymoon?

  4. An ironic result for someone like me with an anxiety disorder!
  5. Right, for Fluxx. I can see it now: Action: Race Card To play this card, place face up on the discard pile. Every player is to immediately discard all goal and keeper cards in hand and in play, make much ruckus and point fingers, because when the race card is played, all ends are hijacked and nobody wins.
  6. I don't think anyone on the board was alleging that all opposition to the health care reform came from "white bigots." Rather, I think the point made was closer to mine as stated earlier:
  7. ? Wait, you are saying that the race of the man ISN'T relevant, therefore the media ought to have mentioned it? Which is it? Relevant or not? I don't agree with the news media's preoccupation with allegations that disagreements with the president are motivated by racism. Even if they are, discussion and persuasion in favor of the health care reform is better had without dwelling on that issue. No one will be able to prove, decisively, whether they are; if they are, most people will agree that such motivation is wrong, but this does NOTHING to explicate how the proposal at hand for health care reform is or is not in the best interest of the American people, black, white, Asian, Latino, or otherwise. So WHY repeat the error here? No matter how you feel about the proposed reforms, can't we agree that the misinformation and inflammatory comparisons of Obama to Hitler are inappropriate hate-mongering at worst and ineffectual at providing opportunity for real discussion of concerns at best?
  8. Do you want a response to the action or the issue? Yes, I was watching last night, and I was appalled. He actually yelled out "you lie!" twice. I can understand having a difference of opinion. That's what your blog, your turn on the floor, your two minutes in the news are for. I won't say that this has to do with racism. I won't even go so far as to say that it is a "Republican" thing, though they seem more the guilty party as of late. No, I think this is typical of a degeneration of rules and standards of respect, a comprehension and support of the kind of atmosphere that most supports dialog and civilized debate. Next step: food fight.

  10. Starve. Er, wait. Do you mean NO FOOD, or no COOKABLE food? I suppose I'd either live on sashimi and crudites or chase small birds into picture windows and eat their broken little brains. I don't know. If you had to learn to do one, which would you rather: walk a tightrope (several stories up with no net) or juggle scorpions?
  11. I hope to be a regular contributor in the near future, but until I have regular employment, I can not. When I do, I hope to make a small donation beginning with my second paycheck. I've already promised that I would by Gothkytten a drink at City Club and my mom a nice bottle of Dewar's with the first.
