my thoughts were so loud, i couldn't hear my mouth.

From redshoeson:

Gov. Ted Strickland recommended the elimination of $200+ million from the Public Library Fund over the next two years. THIS DOES NOT ONLY AFFECT LIBRARY PERSONNEL; IT AFFECTS EVERYONE WHO USES THE LIBRARY. Please consider leaving Gov. Strickland a comment re: the new budget proposal.

More information on the potential budget cuts for Ohio Libraries can be found here: http://www.olc.org/news_story06200…

If you live in Ohio, PLEASE consider taking action.  The Ohio Library Council (OLC) recommends calling your state representatives and the Governor (614-466-3555) immediately!  This must be done THIS WEEK b/c the decision will most likely be made this week.

NEW ICON. LOVE :D

I am writing to you from my phone for the first time. It never worked before, but I felt compelled to try today. Cool!

Anyway, I voted this morning at 6am. The whole thing took about an hour. I know a lot of people liked to vote early, but I wanted to be a part of the "experience", as strange as that sounds.

I still cannot believe Indiana is a battleground state...

Let's see what happens tonight!

This really cheered me up.

You Are An INFJ

The Protector You live your life with integrity, originality, vision, and creativity. Independent and stubborn, you rarely stray from your vision - no matter what it is. You are an excellent listener, with almost infinite patience. You have complex, deep feelings, and you take great care to express them. In love, you truly see relationships as an opportunity to connect and grow. You enjoy relationships as long as they are improving and changing. You can't stand stagnation. At work, you stay motivated and happy... as long as you are working toward a dream you support. You would make a great photographer, alternative medicine guru, or teacher. How you see yourself: Hardworking, ethical, and helpful When other people don't get you, they see you as: Manipulative, weak, and unstable

A couple of questions were hard to answer... but hmm, very interesting.

It's all mine!



Palm Treo 700wx. Windows-based. Internet 24/7. Oh yes.

I have been so consumed by the Virginia Tech shootings, I can hardly focus on anything else.

I first learned of the shootings from a TV in bar (one of my accounts) that was showing the news. This was around the time that the shooting first broke, and only one person was confirmed dead. From that point on for much of the day, I listened to CNN on Sirius and listened in horror as the news unfolded. I heard the press conference at around 12:15 when the number went from 1 confirmed to a "ballpark figure" of "over 20 fatalities." 

I know people die everyday, even of unnatural, horrific causes. But this seemed so close to home because it was only a little bit ago that I was a college student, going to classes and feeling completely safe and invincible. I still know people who go to college. And this fall, my sister will start doing the same thing.

This could happen absolutely anywhere, and to anyone. It's all too real when it happens to people just like you, people "too young to die" and those who feel most innocent and invincible.

Anyone could snap and do something like this. I had no idea that anyone could be capable of deliberately, and without thinking twice, killing so many people, one after another. 

I was in high school when Columbine happened, and I was affected by that too. In fact, the school shootings in Jonesboro, Arkansas, in 1997 I believe, affected me then too. 

And now, with Facebook and MySpace, the victims are so much more accessible. Just seeing the faces makes it that much more real... and that much more devastating.

Flying out of Fort Wayne is both a pain in the ass, and the wallet. So, vote for Fort Wayne as the next city that Air Tran should come to!
