About Me: I'm one of those perpetual students that comes up with wild and crazy schemes in order to convince "the man" that he wants to pay to send me overseas to cause trouble...I mean...learn...learn, yes, that. Amazingly, they have yet to catch on to me. I'm working on getting an internship with the State Department as far as that particular scheme goes. I have a horse. People think I'm slightly crazy. Of course, I have no idea what they're babbling on about. |

Body Alterations: I have two tattoos, but took out most of the piercings. I'll post a picture of the tat when I have a working camera. |

Wants: to not flunk out of law school
to get it together
to lose maybe ten pounds |

Places you'd like to go...: Thailand and India are number one on the list. I'm on a quest to fill my passport before it expires, which means the EU is useless to me, since they won't stamp passports between borders over there anymore. Losers. But that's ok because the euro is kicking ass on the market, so I'd be better off going to Asia anyhow. And I can speak some Japanese, so that helps a little. Ok, only in one country, but still. My most recent trip other than Japan was to Korea. |

Favorite Books/Authors: Jaqueline Carrey's Kushiel trilogy. I can't get into the Banewreaker books.
Laurell K. Hammillton, but not because she writes girl porn. Or maybe because she does, but not in the way you think.
Yuu Watase. Yea, shut up. |

Likes: Eventing (horsey sport), easy money, school (for the most part), foreign cultures and languages, pretty clothes I cannot afford, my dearly beloved boyfriend (who possibly gets treated like a well-loved, shaggy teddy bear that gets dragged to everywhere and beyond), wood floors, fireplaces, viper-tongued women, summer, movies, sex, ponies, kitties, long hair on guys, fishnets and expensive shoes (but only as a pair), lists, stationary |
|
Pet Peeves: A massive lack of vocabulary, or ineffective means of communication found mostly online and makes me want to claw my eyes out. With a grapefruit spoon and twine. Jesus Christ, speak proper English or I shall come after you with a paddle emblazoned "Grammar Nazi". LEARN TO SPELL, motherfucker! |

So the horse show was a disaster. My horse just spazzed and decided to be a psycho during the test. But that's ok, we'll fix it. That's my mantra lately, I'll fix it. I'll fix it damnit!
He actually lost a shoe, and is now lame. He bruised his sole, so he's kinda tender. Which blows, but I have permission to ride someone else's horse until he's ok.
I started a new running program. Let's see if this work out.
I think cancelling the presidential debate is stupid, if anyone cares. If McCain was incumbent, it would make sense, but he's not, and I think having both candidates involved would just slow everyone down because they's be too busy showboating to compromise. But no one asked me.
The bailout is also pretty dumb. I mean you can make the taxpayers buy a bunch of mortgage backed securities that no one knows the real value of....or the taxpayers could loan hedge funds the money (which they don't have) to buy those same securities (which they want to do, but don't have the money to do) since they're damn well going to make sure they don't overpay for them. That's still 700 billion, you say? Well, maybe, but the hedge fund guys have more of an incentive to not overpay, and they also really really want washington to be nice to them, regulation wise. Guess who's definitely going t pay that shit back? Yup. So we can pay for a governmental agency to do it...or we can loan guys who make their money off this shit the money to do it. I mean they're both bets, and neither of them terribly good odds, but hell, I really don't think handing FEMA a blank check and saying "No judicial review, have fun!" would have worked out well for that mess, either. But, once again, no one asked me.
Since I'm on a political rant anyway (totally not how I started out) I may as well. FP has an awesome list of 20 questions they want asked during the currently questionable debate. So I shall ask you guys the first one on their list:
If you had been president on Sept. 11, 2001, how would you have responded to the attacks on that tragic day, both in the short term and the long term?
