| The withered flowers tremble on the vine
Beneath the gentle urging of the wind.
Their beauty faded by the hand of time,
Their lives flown hence as none can comprehend.
How quiet doth these flowers to their grave
Their sad heads bent in silent reveries.
The world weeps for we fear we cannot save,
These friends of old from cold unpleasantries.
But fear ye not brave children of our age,
Lest deep despair should rob you too of strength
Cling fastly to your love and to your rage
For only hand and hand we'll go the length.
Hope is song which lives in woman and man
United in one voice sing Yes We Can.

| I put too much faith in the people in this state. For the record I'm signing up to fight the next round of this battle. Last night (after considerable amounts of tequila) we decided that we think the next step should be removing the word marriage from the legal language. If marriage is so religious a term which and has be hijacked in such bigoted ways then I think it has no place in government. People can get together with their congregations or their families and bitch about what marriage means to them. I'm going to start dreaming of the day when I can go down to city hall with my future husband or wife to get my civil union. My friends and family can be responsible for sanctifying my marriage.
We have a long road ahead, but like a friend of mine said, we have already come a long way since 2004. Let's take courage from our progress and keep on fighting for what we know in our hearts is right. Obama's message of "yes we can" which called so many of us to action this election cycle can be a battle cry in the coming struggle. Obama reminded us last night that we have proven that we are not a generation of apathy. Hope, Change and Action, the future is ours.

| This one's funny.
If you read this, if your eyes are passing over this right now (even if we don't speak often or ever) please post a comment with a completely made up, fictional memory of you and me. It can be anything you want - good or bad - but it has to be fake. When you're finished, post this little paragraph in your LJ and see what your friends come up with!

| My choice to abstain from meat is carefully considered and based on my beliefs about the ethics of animal treatment, and my deep concern for the environmental impact of livestock farming. If one more person describes me as a "picky eater" because I do not eat meat I might explode. I find this description of my dietary choices extremely rude.
I know there is more to say about this, but I'm to irritated to sit in front of my computer right now.

| Ulee, our family black lab, is very sick with Cancer. The vet said he has days to live. If he has ever wagged his little black tail at you, please think a happy thought for him, and for us.
