Rough Gig

So now I'm at work and have some time to blog (heh)...

* I was carded again yesterday. There are three possibilities here: 1. my moisturizing regimen is truly awesome; 2. the purple hair makes me look younger; 3. the authorities are cracking down on ID checks. My guess is number 3.

* My procrastination is not limited to schoolwork. I have put off a lot of things for my sister's baby shower that I had hoped to be done with by now. Oh well, I have another week. To put it off.

* Back in The Day, when I blogged for an audience larger than the 4 of you, I "came out" as a Democrat when it became clear that people assumed I was a conservative. One conservative person whom I had been friendly with online immediately de-linked me. Now that blogger pops up every now and then to make snide remarks about how stupid my opinions are on other blogs. Strange, because when that blogger thought I was on the same team, they agreed with a lot of my opinions.

* There was something else, but I can't remember. I'll update later when I think of it.

Your parents must be so proud about that whole Democrat thing. ;)

Actually, it should comfort you that I, as a card-carrying member of the Vast Right Wing Conspiracy, have never mistaken you for a conservative. And I like you anyway, too.

My parents are Democrats. The current President is known as "that idiot" in their house.

My dad's parents were Democrats...Grandpa ran for state senate as one, Grandma spent many election seasons getting people registered to vote.

My mom's parents were/are Republicans. They owned lots of guns.

#1. I would give my eye teeth to get carded. The drinking age here is 18, and no one cares how old you are for cigarettes....I haven't brought my ID to a bar since I lived in the USA :)

#2. You can be a democrat and still be conservative! Just like you can be a liberal republican. That loser who de-linked you is obviously a closet democrat...what we fear most, we usually are!

Come to TN. They passed a law that EVERYONE has to get carded for liquor and Cigs.

Welcome to the decline of America. Anyone who refers to the sitting president, whoever he is, as "that idiot" is shallow and classless. Sorry about ripping on your family, but there it is.

I know someone who's major gripe with the president is that he's not eloquent, therefore he's dumb. Lord knows there are plenty of things to dislike about the man's policies, but to assume he's stupid because he's not a great speaker is - again - shallow and classless.

People have forgotten how to agree to disagree.

Well, Ted, be sure to lump me in with the shallow and classless. It has little to do with the ineloquence of the man and very much to do with the policies of the politician.

Oh, and where I come from, it's considered pretty classless to go to someone's house and insult their family. But maybe that's a regional thing.
