I got a job at a local call center - only I'm not sure what I'll be doing. lol. But it's a job and I'll be able to pay my bills again, which is great.
David and I are... working things out. I'm going to like... pay for something here... and that way... I won't feel like I have to leave if he's upset at me, ya know? Probably not too much... but something none the less.
We watched king arthur last night. I liked it loads, but I'm biased. That is my absolute favorite story. My favorite rendition is The Once and Future King, by T.H. White.
I got an email from some d00d who works w/ a politician... that Stenholm d00d. I don't know much about him, so I went to his website... He's standing where I like him to on most things listed, which is nice.
I'll make a quick plus/minus list.
- supports "traditional" marriage
not that it's a bad thing, don't get me wrong. But I feel anyone who loves another person has the right to marry. what better reason to enter into that kind of commitment than love?
- pro-life
again that's a good thing, except with all the teenage pregnancies and stuff like that, especially in this part of the state... killing a baby is not a good thing, but I don't think it's much worse than bringing a baby into a world of poverty and sickness.
+ social security needs help
no joke.
/ more medicare reform
old people need help, it's true. I just don't care too much one way or the other. I imagine my stance on that'll change in the future, but for now... it's not something I'm gonna spend too much time worrying about.
+ support for teachers
without teachers... where the hell would we all be?
+ veteran benefits
these poor d00ds...
+ strong national defense
I'm hoping this doesn't mean he was all for the patriot act, but a strong defense is always good.
/ energy policies
I don't have a clue about this stuff.
So anyway... those of you in this part of the state check his site and make your own decisions.
