Tidbits of life

be prepared for longest post ever!

So I finally uploaded pictures from my camera from months and months ago, and here are some samplings of my life.

Amanda and I attended a war rally a couple months ago, where they had processions of tanks and military people and other military accoutrement. But we went as protesters, with Patrick O'Neill, the beloved catholic worker we all adore. Heres an example of the signs some of the peeps in our group were carrying:


Quite depressing. That was us, the "war-sucks, dead-people-suck, and we're-mournful" peeps in black clothing. Of course, I opted out of black, since it was a tad hot that day, and chose to go for instead the $3 hanes tshirt with War Sucks in blue sharpie, masterfully done minutes before showing up at the rally.
I got a few comments, like, "YOU suck!" and some people would walk by and mutter "buncha punks." Oh yes, yes, very clever. Keep em comin.

and heres my personal favorite, the highlight of the day, Fupa Lady With Camel Toe !!! Here she is, exhibiting her pride at being FLWCT and yelling at Patrick, calling him an asshole that needed to go home:

Man that lady is so awesome. Shes truly delightful.

Ahhh, one of my first experiences being a hated minority in a large group of white people.

On another note, amanda and i found a place to live next year! wheeeeeee!! The backyard is duke forest, the house is in American Village, and there are a whole bunch of trails and walking paths in the forest. No weight limit on dogs! yay! We each have our own huge walk in closets, our own coat closets, our own bathrooms...so sweet. And it is a sweeeeeeet neighborhood, five minutes to Duke by car, possibly withink biking except I hate biking, maybe i'll rollerblade. =)


(Un?)Fortunately there are so many trees you cant really even see the house. Here are views of the side street


And this adorable boston terrier we met


And a turtle we rescued. =)
