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 was talking to a travel agent here in mytilini about the war, she too was
against it and thought bush was not very smart. she couldn't imagine that the
people of america could elect a man like george bush. i told her we didn't.

and yesterday in london. i got several compliments on my "wage peace" button,
one that i got from a woman on thursday. i finally gave it too a street vendor
who was ever so nice to point me in the direction of a great bookstore. i
also got to talk to a woman in the bookstore, she told me about michael moore.
i need to find the text of the speech.

and finally. sunday night i stayed at the green tortoise hostel. i roomed
with 3 aussie women. one told me that all they hear there is that all
americans are pro bush and pro the war. i set her straight on that one. oh
yeah! and i also sat in vigil with some folks in seattle for a little while
before i had to leave.

i thought i wouldn't wear my buttons, but well-- i'm not going to take them
off. they are too important. i need to make a statement. plus i'm enjoying
wearing them and complete strangers saying "i like your badge."

okay. i've only got a limited time.

peace to you all.
