Okay. Here is yet another reason America sucks. There's some poor girl who is a friend of someone I LJ-stalk (I think?) who has some medical conditions that require four instances of brain surgery that she can't afford. To this end, she's set up a really easy way to try and fund it. check out
cleolinda's LJ entry for details. She also writes the infamous Movies in 15 Minutes, and is really good about sorting the tripe from the legit stuff in what she posts, so you can be confident in the legitimacy of this. I usually don't go for things like this, but I think it's a worthy cause, and I totally encourage everyone who reads this to spam everyone they know with this. Thanks.
