What kind of liberal am I?


How to Win a Fight With a Conservative is the ultimate survival guide for political arguments

My Liberal Identity:

You are a Social Justice Crusader, also known as a rights activist. You believe in equality, fairness, and preventing neo-Confederate conservative troglodytes from rolling back fifty years of civil rights gains.

ice skating...

Daisy has a new second name: Zamboni. Daisy Zamboni helped me drive 90ish miles in four hours yesterday on ICE. Sometimes I hate the fact that Michigan is on the other side of the lake... Snow was falling, snow was blowing, and freezing all over 94. So it was crazy driving, but this stubborn girl didn't want to stop. I got home and unclenched my entire body just in time to watch Mr. Darcy on PBS. I am loving the Jane Austen series on Masterpiece. I do miss the original theme, though. And does Gillian Anderson have some crazy blond highlights in her hair, or is the lighting and the lame background? Oh well..at least I get to indulge in some major Mr. Darcy/Captain Wentworth moments. At least I could take out some of the kinks in my yoga class tonight.

So, here's daisy's butt -- how unladylike of her to show it off! :) But when have I been so ladylike?

Speaking of ladylike, I watched "miss austen regrets" on masterpiece classic tonight (instead of the second half of the superbowl), and I thoroughly enjoyed it. I enjoy Austen -- so much flirting and nuance and subtlety. It is much sexier than a series of tongue sucking and naked butts. Maybe I could be a spinster authoress as well. If onl
y I had the wit and sparkle of Miss Jane.

And here's the side view. Does she not have lovely posture? I have adjusted to a smaller trunk and a few other things, but I didn't always need all the cargo space.

Today I finished a fabulous book, dream when you're feeling blue, and did clean my dining room table. So I feel much better about my roommate (she is such a pig sometimes!). And now I'm enjoying house -- hugh laurie makes me smile, whether jeeves or gregory house. It is odd to listen to him without a british accent -- and people find it odd to hear him with one.

Well, I should get off this and work on the first of my three baby blankets for Purdue grad students. It gives me something good to do, without me buying more yarn for random things. I do need to find a new project -- I've made more stuffed toys.
