It’s Holly

We took it to the streets after work today to get the message out: No on 8!

To the angry woman in the white car… Jesus still loves us, even if you don’t.

so, for some reason i was craving woodish looking wallpapers on my desktop when i got in this morning, so i made some.

feel free to do a jack move. sorry, only made it 1920×1200.

like rachel maddow, i tend to express every single feeling and thought in my body and mind through my face, whether i recognize it or not.

see?

If you’re a Twitter’er, follow her.

I couldn’t bear to do it myself, so Phil kindly euthanized my very sick and ailing fish. Two years is a good run for a betta.

See you at Tha Crossroads.

I need to keep track of these more. I have regular every day conversations on IM, but once in a while there are some jewels… quotes that need to be savored and re-laughed at. Here are two from today.

PITTSBURGH — A 20-year-old volunteer for John McCain’s campaign has admitted that she lied when she said she was attacked by a robber who carved a “B” into her cheek when he saw a McCain bumper sticker on her car, Pittsburgh police said Friday.

barack the vote

Never in my 8 years of legal voting age have I seen so many people around me excited about an election. We’ve been following since Clinton and Obama were in the primaries. When was the last time you actually paid attention to a primary election? Not only are we aware of the presidential race, but other important issues, like Prop 8. It’s been awesome to see how we sit around and re-cap what happened on Grey’s Anatomy last night, then change the conversation to “Did you see Rachael Maddow smackdown Pat Buchanan on MSNBC last night?”. Most of the time we’re watching YouTube videos of Palin making a fool of herself, or McCain getting his lines wrong, or Obama dancing. Either way, we’re involved, which wasn’t necessarily the case in 2000 or 2004. You can’t deny Obama’s attraction, his inspiration, his motivation. I’ve never seen my generation so involved in wanting to make a change. I’m excited to be living in a part of history. Real history. These are the times that turn into the stories you tell your children, and they say “So what? You mean electing a black president was a big deal?”. I can’t wait.

You better vote.
