Writer, proud Democrat, obsessive Red Sox and Patriots fan, pop culture slave, book whore, sleep deprived, coffee devotee, hater of hot weather, lover of snow, TWoP'er, always a bridesmaid, emotional paramedic, bitter but not jaded, animal lover, meat eater, Sephora worshipper, unapologetic Wal-Mart shopper, poker player, news junkie, the darker the humor the better, goes past second base on the first date, willing to try anything twice. But I'm really just waiting for my Forney Hull.
"When I was a child, the Boston Red Sox didn't have a nation. We had a crusty old white bitch running the team, good seats still available and a raging inferiority complex when compared to the 16-time World Champion Boston Celtics. Now, the white bitch and good seats are gone, and everyone who likes the team is a citizen of the Red Sox Nation. Initially, I'll admit, I thought the Nation was a cute little counterpoint to the Yankees' Evil Empire. But I never thought anyone would be insane enough to take this Nation thing literally by electing a president. What's next? Application for recognition by the United Nations? In any event, I seriously hope the fucking dog wins, because if we end up with an egomaniac like Mike Barnicle, the Nation will probably secede from the Union and trigger a Sunni-Shiite style conflict as Sox fans coast-to-coast start to arm themselves every time the Yankees pull within six games." -Esquire.com
"Then there's this whole business of liberals who are accused of 'rooting' for failure in Iraq. I'm sorry, but the next pundit who whips that one out should have his balls stuffed down his throat. You cocksuckers beat the drum to send these kids to war, and then you turn around and accuse us of rooting for them to die? Fuck you for even thinking that. We're Americans just like you. You don't have the right to get us into this mess and then turn around and call us traitors. Your credibility is long gone on this issue. Shut up about us." -Matt Taibbi

I'm a bit behind with this, but thank you so much for your comment on my blog. It's been a rough few weeks, but Reid and I are going to be okay. It has helped immensely to have support and kindness from people like you!
hey girly, we need to get together for dinner one night and catch up, it sent you a message but i think my myspace is acting fluky! let me know when you are free!
NEW YORK—Facing the Cubs in the midst of a three-game losing streak, the desperate Mets sprinted out to the field Tuesday, launched themselves high into the air above Shea Stadium, and combined their bodies to form a 400-foot tall fielding robot called Carlos Voltron.
According to eyewitnesses, before the Mets players completed the complicated procedure, in which they fused their physical selves and combined their talents to form the 20,000-ton robot, manager Jerry Manuel called the team to the dugout, where he commanded them to prepare their interlock systems for activation, connect the appropriate dyna-therms, charge up the infra-cells to full capacity, engage the mega-thrusters, and give it their best out there.
Yikes! I'm so sorry! And I'll tell you what... I'm just lucky the same thing hasn't happened to me 'cause I've been known to get a bit tottery (is that a word?) in the shower myself!
That's great news about your mom! I'm sending good juju for the other piece. I hope it turns out okay! We are good. It's been a great summer thus far, albeit a bit crazy. :-)
I hate to say it, but
