1. Stay in or go out on New Year’s Eve?
Staying In.
2. If you stay home, do you stay up to ring in the new year, or fall asleep earlier?
I ring in the New Year
3. If you go out, do you prefer to attend a party at someone’s home, or go to a bar/nightclub/restaurant?
IF I was going out, I would go to a nightclub.

Is it possible to fall in love so quickly?
A week ago, I did not know you existed. My life was fine.
And now, since we’ve met, nothing is the same. I am excited all the time, I giggle with unbridled happiness and I cannot keep this to myself.

yeah, I am late. Oh, bother.
1. You’re a young actor belonging to a racial minority. Your first big movie role requires you to play a demeaning racial stereotype. Do you?
Hmmmmmm. I don’t think I would. But, on the other hand, one could argue that playing a slave would be a demeaning racial stereotype for a young African-American actor, but the role could be excellent. So, I change my answer to it would depend on the entire movie.
2. You worry that some of your sexual fantasies might be a little perverse. Do you repress these thoughts?
*giggles* Perverse? Moi? Actually, I do not worry about my fantasies. They’re just fantasies after all. Actually acting on them might be the perverse part.
3. You’re a copilot on a passenger jet. There’s an emergency and you must land immediately. The Captain insists on time consuming procedures. Do you knock him out and take control?
Hand me the fire extinguisher, honey, the Captain needs a nap!

This is one of my favoritest sites of all time.
I have been enjoying Avocado Dreams for several years now.
I did happen to grow up in Burbank, California, so the site has special meaning for me. But even if you did not, you should enjoy this walk back into the time of avocado shag rugs.

Holidays are always an enigma to me. As I drove around last night on my way home last night, I saw brightly decorated homes, lights twinkling and yet I wondered… is there anyone around who is really happy tonight?
I don’t think I am going to write much more about it, why rehash it.

This is in response to Scott’s Ten Reasons Why a Christmas Tree is Better than a Woman
To that, I respond on behalf of my sistah’s
Ten Reasons Why a Christmas Tree is Better than a Man
10. A Christmas Tree won’t care what time of the month it is.
9. A Christmas Tree won’t fall asleep too soon.
8. A Christmas Tree won’t come home late, stinking of beer.
7. A Christmas Tree won’t jam the freezer with food you don’t like.
6. A Christmas Tree won’t grab cash from your purse while you’re asleep.
5. You won’t find out that a Christmas Tree is: married, on penicillin, or trying to screw your sister.
4. You know big the Christmas tree is before you take it home.
3. A Christmas Tree won’t fall asleep on your chest or drool on the pillow.
2. A Christmas Tree won’t make you sleep on the wet spot.
and the number one reason a Christmas Tree is better than a man?

1. What holiday or holidays do you celebrate this time of year? I really just celebrate the season more… and give gifts at Christmas time.
2. What was the best gift you have ever received? Gosh. The Best Gift was being here last Christmas with my mom, who unexpectedly passed away a few days later.
3. What was the worst gift you’ve ever given? A potpourri candle thing and the potpourri had gone bad and was moldy. SO embarrassing.
4. Where will you be celebrating the holidays? Are you hosting? Going away? Working, and then going on a short car ride to family.
5. If you could spend the holidays with someone who isn’t around, who would it be with? Why? My mother. Because I did not get to say goodbye. And Keesa. Because I want to hold her again.

that I would be good even if i did nothing
that I would be good even if i got the thumbs down
that I would be good if i got and stayed sick
that I would be good even if I gained ten pounds
that I would be fine even if I went bankrupt
that I would be good if I lost my hair and my youth
that I would be great if I was no longer Queen
that I would be grand if I was not all knowing
that I would be loved even when I numb myself
that I would be good even when I am overwhelmed
that I would be loved even when i was fuming
that I would be good even if I was clingy
that I would be good even if I lost sanity
that I would be good
whether with or without you

Kidnappers demand $800 in small bills if the owners ever want to see their baby Jesus again!
No other baby Jesus’ (Jesui, Jesuses?) in the neighborhood were missing.
The ransom note was signed:
“Me, him and the other kid who was really scared and didn’t want to take your baby Jesus and the whole time all he did was say stuff like you’re going to hell, this isn’t right, stop.”
Going to hell for stealing a plastic baby Jesus. Leaving poor Mary and Joseph there, alone, with only an empty manger for their empty eyes to stare into. God hath no fury like this, when a replica of his only begotten son gets stolen. Even if this particular one God thinks was a little thinner than the real thing, and the real one was born with that peculiar thing growing on his elbow. God is still pissed.
At least they left them the plastic cows so they have food.
I am NOT making this up!!!

From an article at the Washington Post:
The officials said Bush and his aides believe Democrats are hypocritically exploiting the issue out of partisan opportunism, and that the absence of news from the war on terrorism last week contributed to the focus on Lott. The officials said Bush would oppose any effort by Democrats to undermine Lott.
This sounds like Wag the Dog to me. Are Bush and his aides running around saying “Get more out there about the war on terrorism so the country doesn’t pay attention to what we are really saying!” ?

December 12, Dubya announces plans to relax environmental regulations. This affects 10 of our national forests. His excuse?
“Dense overgrown forests and range lands have grown like a cancer. They need to be treated.”
The real reason? He’s got to give the timber industry something. They could not get it through Congress, but Dubya will just hand it to them.
Their plans are flawed, all they want is that old growth timber. This sucks.
Maybe it is because I am older, but I have honestly never felt afraid of a President before. This one has me losing sleep.

You can fold it all different ways, adjust it to your needs and you can even sleep with it between your legs! There will be no further explanation forthcoming as to why that is a benefit.
I like it. Just may have to get one from this place after the holidays.

Whoa. I was just reading Scott’s blog and his entry called USA-Patriot Act Abuses Begin. The thought that a normal camera wielding citizen can be apprehended by the police, have his property taken, and then all evidence that it happened destroyed should be nightmare material for everyone in this country.
I have rewritten this entry several times, because I am not as eloquent as some who write on these issues. I want to shake the people who are not taking this seriously.
As for me, all I can do is follow my gut. And this feels WRONG! And to those who say “This will not affect me! I am an American, and I have a job” and whatever else you think is going to make you exempt from government abuses of your freedom, I implore you to read this poem. And THINK about it.
First they came for the Communists,
and I didn’t speak up,
because I wasn’t a Communist.
Then they came for the Jews,
and I didn’t speak up,
because I wasn’t a Jew.
Then they came for the Catholics,
and I didn’t speak up,
because I was a Protestant.
Then they came for me,
and by that time there was no one
left to speak up for me.

Reading Sea ‘Doc’ .net: Yet Another Liberty Extinguished is horrifying!
Here’s the snippet that should make you shiver with fear:
“The Bush administration is developing a parallel legal system in which terrorism suspects – U.S. citizens and noncitizens alike – may be investigated, jailed, interrogated, tried and punished without legal protections guaranteed by the ordinary system, lawyers inside and outside the government say.”
I truly think Bush is completely running amuck. These are American Citizens he is going to do this to… what right does he have to take away our rights?
And what is frightening as well are the blogs that are coming up which are really condemning anyone who doesn’t completely cosign Dubya’s bullshit.
Count me out. I want him and his scary cronies out of there. Before our rights are gone, before our earth is destroyed.

I have been working on a holiday blog look for several days. But, as always, I get caught up in political correctness. For myself, I stay away from “Jesus is the reason for the season” kind of stuff and stick to the fluffier stuff, like snowmen, reindeers, that kind of celebratory character.
BUT as a kid who grew up with a Jewish parent, if anything, I am more sensitive to the lack of festivies geared at Hanukkah. So, I tried to include something Hanukkah like.

Just today, at least four people said to me:
“Can you believe it is December already?”
I so wanted to say “Uh, yeah. It has happened this way, right after November for as long as I can remember. Does it surprise you?”
I hate when people ask silly questions.
Another is “Can you believe how fast the year has gone?”
I always want to say “Why, no! Actually, it has been the slowest year of my life, a virtual living hell! Every day I wake up and it is still 2002!”
