T-Mobile Discriminates
I am posting this on my bulletin in hopes that you all will help forward the word. I do NOT approve of discrimination in any form, but this is just plain ridiculous! Maybe a mass removal of services will help them realize discrimination is unacceptable. Side note, this experience was in the state of Florida.

Male Birth Control Pill
Original article: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/15937201/wid/11915773?GT1=8717
I would LOVE to know anyone else's opinions on this one. Do you think it would work? Do you think it would be worth taking (or having your man take it)? Do you think men will want to take it? Comment me!

DEAD WOMAN WINS COUNTY COMMISIONER'S RACE
S.D. candidate gets 100 votes; official says voters knew she was deceased
Associated Press
Updated: 10:41 a.m. CT Nov 8, 2006
PIERRE, S.D. - A woman who died two months ago won a county commissioner's race in Jerauld County on Tuesday.
Democrat Marie Steichen, of Woonsocket, got 100 votes, defeating incumbent Republican Merlin Feistner, of Woonsocket, who had 64 votes.
Jerauld County Auditor Cindy Peterson said she believes the county board will have to meet to appoint a replacement for Steichen. Peterson said she'll check with the state's attorney to be sure that's the process.
Peterson said voters knew Steichen had died.
"They just had a chance to make a change, and we respect their opinion."

Rain, rain has come my way...
I truly adore the weather we have today. It's 60 degrees, raining lightly, with a wind that averages 20mph. Absolutely beautiful. Absolutely perfect for curling up with a blanket and book. Absolutely, positively, without a shadow of a doubt. IT'S FALL!!

Too-skinny models REJECTED
It is seriously about damn time that SOMEONE got with the program on the too-skinny wave. I'm very impressed with Spain's attitude and realization that super skinny girls are a large part of the eating disorder problems today. Feel free to click the link - http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/14748549?GT1=8506 - to read the actual article, or just click my link and read ( the pasted version. )

Where are the Motivational Speakers?
I'm needing some motivation in the writing department! I KNOW that I need to get my schtuff together and get the submissions out there. I've even got a few places in particualar I'm wanting to submit to, but have yet to get the ol' arse moving anywhere! Any suggestions? I've been trying to make a point of doing some writing, in general, and have done fairly well on my journal and letter writing to people (yes, that still exists). But submissions-wise, I'm just feeling BLAH.
In other news, I'm still walking my son to school in the morning. I thought about driving today because of how I felt yesterday morning (sore very quickly), but I knew if I quit, I'd QUIT. So, out we went again today, and it wasn't bad this time! YEA! I even made a trip on down to the post office (extra 8 blocks one way) before heading home. I'm hoping it will definitely help my energy levels, and brain chemical levels. Though I found myself dreaming again before even realizing I'd fallen asleep at the computer, I got up to eat something before laying down for an official nap and never did lay down! That's another plus. I don't really understand why I'm so tired and wanting that mid-morning nap when I'm going to bed much earlier than before, but whatever. It seems to be improving also.

[Link] | I get so bloody infuriated at the ignorance some of our "smarter" citizens have (ie. politicians)! No, I'm not going to make a political joke here. The fact remains that we elect these people for various reasons. We, in one way or another, trust them to do jobs for us that we could not do ourselves. WE aren't filing for political positions are we? Do we have the stamina, ability, know-how, etc. to fulfill the responsibilities of those positions? No. We elect and choose people we feel can best do that for us. HOWEVER, when moral beliefs interfere with logical legal choices, it's irritating as hell!
WHY is a straight couple better as foster parents, than a gay couple? WHO decides that a couple is more loving and can provide better, based simply on what they do in the privacy of their bedroom? Have we forgotten the numerous cases of STRAIGHT couples who have umpteen foster children, simply for the paychecks?? Have we forgotten the numerous cases of STRAIGHT couples who have physically, emotionally, and sexually abused foster children for their own deranged satisfaction and needs?? Give me a break, people! Get over your moral standing, and base legal decisions on LEGAL issues!

Random thought
It's odd. JJ turned three months old on Saturday, and managed to reach a milestone that both his sister and cousin never did. I thought that the anxiety would diminish once he did, but it hasn't completely gone away. Now it's those 'he's made it this far, but don't relax yet' type of thoughts that fill my head. Like if any of us relax about the SIDS possibility, that's when it would happen.
Sheesh. I came here to discuss a few different things, but all I can think of is "open your eyes and wake up" and "damn I'm sleepy/tired!" Guess I have about an hour to nap, provided JJ stays asleep too. :)

Maybe it's just my own silly ideas of logic, but where the hell is the responsibility in the parents for letting the child play for 36 hours straight??

[Link] | I just finished watching Brokeback Mountain tonight. I've heard all sorts of "gay cowboy movie" remarks, and that it was supposed to be wonderful. I have to say, I was/am really torn about it. It had an incredible cast, and the idea of two men finding love with each other just pulls at my heart (for whatever reason).
The movie started out pretty slow, and I was beginning to be glad that I rented before buying, like I'd originally thought to do. The story picked up though and I was drawn in. I almost cried, and it may have caused a slight tear on my heart. I'm mostly just not sure whether to love it for the amazing story it is, or refuse to ever watch it again for the heartbreak it causes me.
If you have any remarks and/or conversation about this movie, I'd love to hear from you. Write me at my personal email a_lil_nymph at yahoo, though. Hopefully I haven't spoiled the movie for anyone still waiting/debating on seeing it.

So much for the awesome week...
It was quite short-lived. I lost the temp job the very next day because of the new job talking to an old boss. Long story that I'm not getting into.
My older sister didn't get pregnant, even though there were so many positive indications of it being able to happen.
My younger sister's dog died on March 6th, while my mom was visiting a week ago. He was 10 1/2 years, but a member of the family, so it was hard.
I feel like I'm never going to get a job while this mess with the old boss is still untangling itself.
And yesterday, as unbelievable as it may be, my friend's daughter died of SIDS. You may remember me talking about Ally, who died of SIDS in October 2004. This was her cousin, Skye. Ally lived 4 days longer than Skye, and both girls were gone when their mothers woke up that morning. Skye was more recently passed away, but reviving attempts failed. Ally's mother is due in about 3 weeks with her second child, a boy to be named Jesse. I haven't gotten a chance to talk to her personally to see if she's in complete hysterics or not. Both mothers are trying to figure out "why does God hate us so much??" It may well be some sort of genetic thing, but SIDS so extremely rarely offers any kind of answers.

[Link] | I've had a hell of an awesome week! I finally got my unemployment approved, though I have yet to receive a check. Just knowing the bastard still has to pay me makes me grin. Guessing that he's irritated as hell about that fact makes me giggle!
I've had three job interviews this week. One was a temp job, which I accepted, and I start Monday. I'll be helping a company get caught up with various department jobs. The other two were for a preschool and daycare/preschool center. I'm hoping the center wants me, as I intend to decline the preschool. I felt too intimidated by the responsibilities of the position. I'm excited at the idea of working with little kids though!
I also received an email with a job offer! I've applied on their website, per their instructions, and am extremely hopeful that it's legit and works out. If it does, it's got incredible benefits and pluses. After 2 months of getting more and more depressed with unemployment and thinking I'd never find anything, I'm getting a real windfall of opportunity. I'm thrilled!

Still around
It's been too long since my last post, even if I mostly just post quizzes. It also was bad of me to leave for so long after the "depressed" entry. Things have yet to get to a state that I can even refer to as 'normal' in any way, but I'm optimistic as ever and doing better emotionally to boot. I WILL be alright and things will work out the way they need to for me. Thank you for those who have written and checked up on me. Again, I apologize for any scares. And now, for the usual ( quiz section. )
