I won't be posting here quite as often for at least a little while as my motherboard decided to fry on me. Of course, I realize that I haven't exactly been the most prolific of posters recently. I'd say I'm sorry about that, but I didn't exactly want to burden the list with fluff and drama.

On the other hand, HAPPY HOLIDAYS EVERYONE!!

Writer's Block: Honesty is such a lonely word

2009-12-17T22:14:03Z

Do you think honesty is really the best policy when it comes to relationships? Is total honesty possible, let alone desirable?

Uh, yes and no. This is an oversimplification. Major issues yes, be honest and communicate your needs. On the other hand, you should never feel like you have to say, "Yes dear, you look terrible in that outfit."

Have you ever stopped being friends with someone over differences in political views? Are there any issues that are so important to you that you cannot be friends with someone who holds a contrary opinion?

View 978 Answers

Despite how opinionated I am about my political views, and the fact that I've gotten into heated shouting matches with friends who are on the opposite end of the isle, I've never ended a friendship over differing views. This includes "hot-button" issues with me such as civil liberties, gay rights, and the death penalty.

It is conceivable that I would do so, however, with someone of Neo-Nazi viewpoints. But given that biphobia is part of the ideology, it is doubtful that anyone that right wing would want to be around me.

Scale says ~121 lbs. I think I'll be depressed now. It may have been a while since I checked, but I was hoping to see a slightly higher number than that.

Edit- Before anyone asks, because someone always says something like "Aren't you eating enough?" or something to that respect... Yes I eat. I don't have an eating disorder. And yes I'm active. I just have trouble gaining weight, both in body fat and muscle mass. It's pissy.

Got Screwed

2009-08-06T02:10:57Z

Thus far, nobody who voted in my poll thinks that government officials are more trustworthy than sex workers. Despite my small sample size, this leads me to one of three conclusions:

There is massive cynicism on my flist and no love for government officials.
There is a great amount of trust for sex workers on my flist, perhaps with use of services provided.
Some of the members of my flist may secretly be, in fact, sex workers. If this is the case, then this might bias my already unscientific poll.

So these two guys came to the door asking for Spanish speaking people. Given that I really don't have any friends in the complex (although all are pretty friendly), I told them that I didn't know which of them spoke Spanish. He then told me that he was looking for Spanish speaking people to encourage them to read the Bible.

I guess this means the Bible was never translated into English. *snicker*

IMPORTANT political trivia

2009-07-10T22:43:22Z

Apparently it is unusual that I can name all nine justices on the Supreme Court, who appointed them, and which way they lean. Just read that less than half of the people could even say how many justices we have.

Worse, just a little over half could name a single case that the court has heard, and mostly because of Roe v. Wade (which is not a means of crossing the SF Bay).

To say that I find this disappointing is an understatement. You would think that people would want to know who has a third of governmental power, only divided among nine people, appointed for life would be. (Awkward way of saying that, but I think you get the drift.)

I had originally stated that I wanted to yo-yo to Tchaikovsky's Arabian Dance. Unfortunately, it looks like I had my pieces confused. This requires investigation.

Does anyone know the 1977 Mikhail Baryshnikov version of the Nutcracker? In that version, there was a dance that the "Moor" clockwork doll did. That is the piece I'm looking for. If not, then I need to find something else to yo-yo to.

Hold. I'm on LIVEJOURNAL. If you've been on LJ for a while, you'll have at least come across some post that was posted as viewable that the poster forgot to lock. It happens. The same thing happens when emails, IMs, and journals are left out in the open for accidental glances. There is really no way to avoid it.

Why Reading Is Tech

I entered into the local extended tournament with my variant dredge deck. I thought it was wonderful, especially because it was unique. My playtests on my deck were good, and I was off to a great start tonight.

Then it turns out that I misread a key card in the combo. I've been glossing over ONE WORD on a card that made all the difference in the world. Because of that, I went from having an okay fun deck to having to struggle to show up to matches. What's worse? I've been glossing over that ONE WORD ("Nontoken" if anyone wants to know) for TWO YEARS.
