AAAAAAAHHHHHHHH *shreiks at the impotent mindless stupid fucking dog-headed worthless good-for-nothing shrubya reckless dickless mindless, especially mindless, stupid stupid man!!!* I rue the next 8 months until we can kick this freak of everything good and holy right the fuck out of office. I shudder to think of how much more irreperable damage he can do in the next 8 months. *shudder*

If anyone who is not American ever happens to read this, please hear what I am about to say. We aren't all idiots. I repeat. Not all Americans are stupid. We don't support the tyrant who stears our country to ruin. We just can't kick him out until November. Please don't bare too big of a grudge against us.

A friend said to me the other night that he could appreciate what some of the germans went through during world war 2. This is in no way a pro-nazi sentiment. He was just saying, and I agree with him, that it feels helpless when your country is being ruined by a dictator-wannabe leader and his idiot minions. One can't help but feel helpless, and ashamed at the affiliation with that person, even if it is just in name. I can sympathize with the Dixi Chicks in saying they're ashamed he's from their state. I may not agree that they should have said it while overseas, but I agree with them. I'm ashamed that we could elect a bush like him. It's a sad sad day in American history.

An Ode to My Dear Old Blog. How do I miss thee, there isn't a number great enough. I choose you me dear friend. My blog! Seriously, I missed my blog. With the last few moments of conscious thought before I'm forced to slumber from fatigue, I thought I'd post my decision between live journal and blog. I choose both. Blog to store and post my inner dialogue and diatribe. My live journal to post private things like written chapters and verse and such. Plus, with live journal, I can view some of my friends journals who would otherwise be unavailable to me. So they both have their perks. I really missed my blog. Here it doesn't feel like everything I say is going to be viewed and broadcast to teeming masses of strange people I don't even know. I know, it's ironic. I can't explain it, my inner battery is about to die. Maybe some other time. But for those loyal legions of folks who were waiting with baited breath to see if I'd return, alas you can relax. I'm back and it's final. And man did I miss you guys!

I started a live journal at http://www.livejournal.com/users/anne1bn. I'll be posting there mostly for the time being, until I can decide which format, blog or live journal I prefer best. Then I'll use just the one format. If you're wondering where I am, I'll be there.

*Moo Tators!* Sorry, inside joke. For all and any who are wondering about my current affairs, I don't have any. Sorry, bad humor seems to be running rampant tonight. I need to do a timed writing and get some of the brown water out. Brown water is what I call the muddled jumbled brain waste, the cluttered coalesced incoherent cload or puddle (hence brown water) that sits on top of ones brain making it difficult or impossible to make intelligent sense. I get rid of this waste by doing timed writings where I can say/do/write about anything that I want to, un-edited for the allotted time. It really helps, I highly recommend it.

Today was a big push to re-work my website. I spent hours redoing it, and learned a ton about html script. By the stopping point I was checking entire pages of script for errors. It was a fantastic feeling. Tomorrow I'll try to finish it up, varifying content and such. I really want to start another chapter of Savage Eden tomorrow. My procrastinate bug is pissing me off, I'll squish it with words on the page asap.

I've re-connected with my crit group. I was on extended hiatus during the christmas season during my christmas crush. Now I'm back in action, critting when asked, and as cheeky as ever. Poor crit members. ;-)

I've got a job interview on monday. I'm excited about the prospects. It's working for a wonderful non-profit organization that is doing some really great and necessary work. While it's an administrative position, I still feel like I could help in some tangible way. *Fingers crossed* Although I'm really trying not to worry about it. My philosophy? If I was meant to work there, and we were really a good fit...then I'll get the job. If not, then it's for the best. Either way, I'll keep on ticking.

My mom got back from London tonight. Thank God, I missed her tons. It was fine without her here (other than the missing her part) until today when my step-dad, the ogre, yelled at my friend (who's staying with me for a little while) for not folding my step-dads underwear before putting them in the laundry basket from the dryer. I know, it makes no sense. I would never touch let alone fold my friend's dad's underwear. Yuck. He hardly knows the guy. But if you knew my step-dad, you'd understand. He's one of those people who were born as, lived as, and will always be an asshole. Sorry if you read this mom, but you know I'm not lying. He's mean to people. For no reason other than to be mean. But that's enough of my life wasted thinking about that sore pudder. Let the Oger live in his world, and I'll live in mine. But if he's ever mean to my friend again and I'm around, let's just say I won't be quiet.

Onto better and brighter things. I'm extremely excited about the 2 year novel writing course. I've put together a couple of databases to help me stay organized and explore my characters more deeply. I've started using the databases on Savage Eden, and it's so much clearer for me now. I'd pass it along to everyone I know except it's done in Microsoft Works. That's the only database software on my computer. It serves it's purpose. I'm not complaining. I just wish I could post copies on my website for folks to download, that's how helpful they've been. Maybe that'll be my next project. To find a way...hmm.

Well, it's late and I'm tired. I'm going to run along kiddies. Off I go to the monkey show.

European Union Imposes Sanction on U.S.

http://www.cnn.com/2004/BUSINESS/03/01/eu.sanctions/index.html

"(CNN) -- The European Commission has launched retaliatory trade measures against the United States that will cost American companies hundreds of millions.

The sanctions are intended to compensate European businesses for a U.S. tax break scheme for American exporters that was ruled illegal by the World Trade Organization (WTO) last year."

Looks like Shrubya's tax cuts were not only illegal, but are now going to be costing the working class american's who grow the food and raise the cattle being banned for export their livelihoods.

9 months and counting to the presidential election and new hope for our future as a nation.
