Now that it’s over, I am still having trouble gathering my thoughts to put them into words. My experience was absolutely amazing. Being a part of the “behind the scenes” workings during the planning and actual conference heightened my experience, for sure. Chris and Ponzi depended on me for a lot of things, and I [...]

Saturday started at 6am again. I had been told by the bellman at the hotel that another cruise ship was due in at about that time. I woke up and went to the window to see the ship coming in. I took some pictures of it pulling into port, and saw something in the water [...]

Friday started off extremely early for me. I was up at 6am to watch the sunrise over the Bay. What an amazing sight that was. When I first looked out the window, I automatically looked to the right… towards the mountains. I then turned my head to look left… and freaked out. There was the [...]

Day 2 for me was actually the first day of the conference… Thursday. I woke up rather early, since I had passed out so early the night before. After my shower (omg I NEED a shower like that!!), I spent some time waking up, sitting in front of the window in my room. The view [...]

My day on Wed started with me rolling out of bed at 3:45am EST. After I was showered and ready, I set out for the hotel. Both flights were uneventful and on time, and I arrived in Seattle at 10:30am PST. One of the ops from the chat room lives here in Seattle. Dave (Blaster) [...]

Upon her [...]

Around 3am on Wednesday morning, I was sitting at my computer working. Some of the neighborhood teenagers were shooting off fireworks (LARGE ones) in the parking lot across the street from me. About twenty minutes later, I heard sirens that sounded like they stopped right at my door. I looked out and saw a fire [...]

I’m not writing this post to debate the issue itself, or whether or not you believe. This post is geared towards people who DO believe in it already, for convicted murderers.
If you believe the death penalty is appropriate for people who kill others, how do you feel about child rapists? In a recent CNN [...]

Being Wiccan, I have long been a loud proponent of Freedom of Religion. I truly believe with all my soul that each and every one of us has the right to practice (or not) whatever type of religion we choose… free from discrimination and judgment of others. Not once have I wavered in that belief. [...]

Earlier tonight, I was working on a blog post for Chris, called Who Owns your Comments?. I couldn’t stop thinking about the issue, and am decidedly torn on it. I can see this from two different angles: that of a blog owner, and that of a commenter myself.
On one hand, I feel that the person [...]
