she is a lesbian, radical feminist, cat lover, bibliophile, non-smoker, unitarian universalist (though she doesn't go to fellowship on a regular basis) and in the process of becoming athletic again. she dreams of being jeanne d' arc and swooping in and saving those that need saved (though she'd rather not be burned at the stake). she is a loyal friend who will do anything she can for those she loves, but she can flakey sometimes when her depression flares up. she is a loner. a southerner self-transplanted to the pacific northwest in 1998 and now believes that it doesn't rain enough here. she's known for her honesty, she can't help it, its the only way to be. she is 4'8" tall, and round. she has natural blonde hair and she also has blue eyes. she is very intense. she hates small and large crowds, she prefers the one on one or the one on a few. she has no idea what she wants to do with her life, though she would like to see more of the world than what she has seen so far (a good part of the continental united states) and she very much wants to be a mother. finally, she has huge crushes on alix olson and carolyn gage (these are from a far).

i'll be picking up gina at 5 in portland. i'm a bit of a nervous wreck, but all will go smoothly and i'm looking forward to meeting her, and showing her around this city that i love. i'm also looking forward to introducing her to my brood and seeing the expression on her face as she sees the pacific ocean up close for the first time.

saw bowling for columbine on saturday. it was excellent. made me want to move to canada. made my heart break. i wish he hadn't included footage of the towers falling, i'm tired of those shots. i believe that we need to hold those films sacred and not show them like we do. too much trauma is wrapped up in them, and the more we see them the more we become desentitised, the more we see them.. well, i don't see how we honor the victims by seeing those images over and over and over. but back to the movie. it really was an excellent movie, not about gun control. i believe it should be required watching by all americans. if george bush can take the world to war and spend money on killing innocents in a foreign country instead of spending money on feeding and housing innocents in this country then this movie should be required watching by all americans. i believe its a fair trade.

and on that note, i must bathe, and change litter.
