Ew.

I just killed a mosquito and now there is dead bug splat on my hands. Gross. Usually I take bugs outisde when they are bothering me, but for some reason I have never extended that courtesy to mosquitos. They just bite, and I don't like them.

Anyway...I just realized I'm supposed to start my volunteer training next week so i can start volunteering at the homeless shelter. It will give me stuff to do and get me out of the house on a regular basis at least until I can get a job. Truth be told, I thought I'd already be back to work long before this training was supposed to start. I signed up for it weeks and weeks ago. I applied for 6 new jobs this week...and never did hear back from the Q16 guy. That's too bad, as I would have liked to make $450 a week! Madstone never dreamed of paying me that much.

I plan to spend the rest of my week fighting cramps, writing, and banishing negative things as I seem to be overrun with them as of late.
Plus I forgot earlier that Midol has caffeinne in it, and it gave me nightmares all afternoon. It seems that my body can't handle even smallish amounts of caffeinne anymore, now that I am so careful about not having any. That makes sense of course, but I never think of these things until it's too late.

Damn you caffeinne!!!

Thank goodness for small favors:

I don't know why, but it struck me as hilarious to get this in my email today:

Imagine my terror at seeing THAT in the mailbox!

Speaking of things that will crack you up in the middle of the night, here's something lirrin hipped me to that i suspect was made by the former mod of the pagan community.

A little something for Harry Potheads!

EDIT: I'm finished with the first draft of the first half of the screenplay. I feel pretty enormously accomplished, considering my track record for finishing things I start is not a good one.

"Tolerance Watch"

Map of "Hate Groups" in Michigan.

I found this interesting for several reasons. I'm not entirely sure that separatists are neccesarily "hate groups". I also have to wonder if religious themed groups can be considered "hate groups" as well. But if they are, where does that leave publications like Credo which actively speak out against Wiccans and Pagans.

Mind you, I'm not bashing Christians, Catholics or their methods. What I'm asking is: What makes something a "hate group"? And what is the difference between wanting to separate or isolate yourself from a group and being hateful?

I know the old addage is that the right to swing ones fist ends where the other man's nose begins. In my youth I felt I had an exceptional baraometer for determining right vs wrong in political and social issues. The older I get, the more difficult it becomes to choose a side. It can't be that the issues have gotten more complex, though it may be that I have grown to see them that way.
