What My Girls Told me...

As we all know, the Taliban considers it a sin for a man to see a naked woman who is not his wife. So, this Saturday at 2:00 p.m.Eastern time all North American women are asked to walk out of their dorm completely naked to help weed out any neighborhood terrorists. Circling your dorm for one hour is recommended for this anti-terrorist effort. All men are to position themselves in lawn chairs in front of their dorm to prove they think it's okay to see other women nude and to show support for their fellow sisters. And since the Taliban also does not approve of alcohol, a cold six-pack at your side is further proof of your anti-Taliban sentiment. IT IS YOUR PATRIOTIC DUTY TO PASS THIS ON

Ashcroft finds Secret Court to Authorize Secret Wiretaps.

Really Unjustified Bitching...

From this.

"[Karl] Malone was a member of a USA team that was playing Panama as part of the qualifying procedure for the 1992 Olympic Games. International protocol has the competing teams meet on-court prior to the game to exchange symbolic gifts. After the USA routed Panama by some 60 points, Malone expressed his displeasure: 'We gave them nice T-shirts and they only gave us tiny little pins.' This, even though Malone's annual salary was three times Panama's GNP."

On the APDA Forum...
Roster of Dinos and reasons....
-Eric posted because his school was attacked (in his opinion) and wanted to point out the hypocrisy in MIT's actions...
-Troy posted because he's, well, Troy and felt he had the answer to a retarded question (he didn't, in my opinion, and i didnt think the question was retarded)
-Andrew Grossman (Troy's novice year) has posted on almost EVERY SINGLE ISSUE. I'm not going to cast any judgement, I'm just pointing these things out.

More Humor in IM

Jon Marcus: I love you Kate and would ask you to marry me if i weren't for the ensuing awkwardness that would follow
kate: :-)
kate: nah, it wouldnt be awkward--i would just laugh and tell everyone
kate: so i guess that might be awkward
Jon: Good point, since that's the case, Kate Elizabeth Myers (is that ful name correct) would you marry me?
kate: Kate Elizabeth Gerard Myers if you want the confirmation name :-) and you just asked a girl to marry you over IM???
Jon: It's true... I also asked a girl whom most of my conversation take place over IM and usually they come in the form of arguments or at least insults
kate: true--no wonder you get turned down so much
Jon: It's very true, I am 0-14 in proposals

kate: Gree--eg, Marcus just asked me to marry him
kate: but over IM!!
kate: gag - o :-)

The Other Shoe Politico View...
I live in this city, I should breathe it like everyone else. I actually really respect Greenspan in a lot of ways. He's at least balanced and honest about what he does. Its a big difference between that and the Republicans forcing the even-handed Domenici out of where he's done a good job in favor of someone who will work more tax cuts in. I'm glad our governemnt works exactly like Sim City and Tropico. Tax cuts are payoffs for the people who might vote! Kinda like this sometimes, too. I also hate my caucus for compromising on this bullshit. Don't you know that's why I don't vote people? Because no matter what, y'all are just going to fuck it up, and not stand up for the people that you're supposed to stand up for. (I actually didn't vote because logistically it was impossible - i.e., i forgot to get a ballot, and i was redistricted into a "safe" republican district, and I'm also homeless-I don't live in PA, or MD, or VA really....not really legally anywhwere) Finally, on a lighter note, this guy seems great, even if he's not all that in line with some of my beliefs - you gotta love it tho and Nancy Pelosi is still in the lead, even with Ford dogging her. alright, back to work.

So I hear...
...that there is an evil plot to "bring me down." That this was actually sat around and talked about, and I have one person that I know was there, and just suspects of others. Apparently a lot of people don't like me (one has QUITE a hidden agenda that we won't talk about here) and they've decided to take advantage of this fact to "take me down." I have a couple questions....1) why? does it matter to you? go get a job, a different man, or a new obsession! 2) take me down from where? I don't understand what power I have, guys. I don't understand if this "power" means something? I hold a meaningless, undefined post in an organization where power is supposed to derive from the vote of the members, where most decisions that mean anything come from the vote of the members, and that even within the mini overseer organization I'm the pariah. Or the "bitch." 3) What have I done to you guys? I could list specific instances, i guess, but that would give away the people. But I'll direct this at one of them - I'm sorry you've twisted your logic around to blame everything on me. But you know what? You're just wrong. 4) Why do you care? (always a good one) and 5) How? I don't understand the logic behind any of this. This is just another thing to drive me crazy. Apparently their plan is to "make people not like me." ::blink:: ok. I guess that would work...but how? I'm not sure I understand any of the logic behind all of this, and im going back to bed (this was written a while before it was published so I could think about it.)

Well, I've had a different strange dream, and now I'll publish it. Mainly to say - I dont care. I do my thing, I do my job, I love my team, I do my best. I love this, y'all know this - this plot doesnt even so much upset me as make things between people a little harder :). Attacking me is not the way to get what you want, trust me. Finally, I'm just going to continue to doing my thing, and y'all can do whatever you want. Sigh.

I've also taken this off and on my page several times, finally settling....this is still my webpage :)

Addition on Tuesday....BTW--I'm not talking about this. This is on my webpage more to let one specific individual know that she's a bitch, now more than ever :)

Why Jay Cox is the Bringer of Darkness.... :)
So I just awoke from this dream, and this one was too funny to pass up. So I had this dream about this necklace. Which was diamonds, yes, but fucking ugly, and gaudy. It was in the design of a cherry, for some reason. I was apparently getting it as a "gift" from jay. However, I get this warning from him. In a comment box, on my webpage, that for some reason was circular, with Jay's comments slicing it up like a pie (this for some reason was an effect of necklace possession). He explained that he was sorry he was giving me this necklace, but he couldn't handle it anymore. Apparently this necklace could, like, rule the world and bring massive amounts of darkness and badness if it got two people to agree to form "a ring of three." The problem was: Manoj had already agreed :). (Why manoj would agree to something that came in a gaudy silver cherry diamond necklace, i have no idea) So I get it delivered to me (after a massive carpool disaster that includes me having a massive fight with my father [of course] and jay, tim willenken, and like seven other people in a volvo. [why i dream about these people i rarely see, don't ask me. tim willenken keeps popping up in my dreams, and i have shared somewhere around two sentences with him] that carpool takes us all to my grade school) during a homeroom extended, basically just for me because im late (again, its a dream, guys :). So I sign for this thing - it comes special delivery in a plastic bag, mind you, from Our Lady of Mount Carmel ministries. I wear it briefly, basically waiting for it to start talking to me (which it doesnt) and i take it off to shower. While I was showering, it attempted to inch closer to the sink drain (for all I know, this is a natural property of diamond necklaces and not just evil possesed ones.) to, i asssume, escape me and go to someone else. So I wear it, kinda often, consider destroying it, fail, and finally decide that since it came from OLMC Ministries, any soliciting for agreements it would do would have to be couched in that (in a "Go with God and do that through me" kinda thing). And I decided, as i was sitting on the roof of my work (which looked much nicer, by the way) that I wasn't religious enough, anymore, or at least that would be the excuse I used. Then I woke up.

Interpret all you want....but Jay Cox is the bringer of darkness :)

In Defense of my Weather Pixie...
1) I'm wearing sandals.
2) Have you seen what other people are wearing in the 45 degree rain?
3) Its a freaking computer program with selection options. I could have chose lots of other ones, but I chose the redheaded pixie Doll, ok? So what!
4) It wasn't actually 45 degrees and raining :) It was like 50 degrees and sunny-ish for various parts of the day.
5) Don't dis my weatherpixie :)

Things I just didn't know about....

On Marathon APDAForum Posts...
I just posted a big-almost-useless-one...just the facts, defending against reasons that haven't been stated. I wish someone would tell me WHY second tournaments are inherently bad! I've been asking around (to few people, but still) and no one yet has told me why, except to say "its obvious." Sigh. I wait in breathless anticipation.

katie says hi at 6:49:05 PM

What Else Have I Got to Say....
-I'm very tired of OTYs. In the midst of fixing it, my computer deleted half of the coding. I need to go and fix them again, but not this second.
-I'm hungry, whiny, and bitchy, and I"m going to end up working late. Boo.
-I need to fax in my time sheet so I can get paid.
-Another thing will go here as soon as I write an email.
-W+M was fun--I got to run Ray Aids!!!
-Ryan Daviduke has grown up a lot, and is great.
-I have grown up a lot, honestly even this weekend.
-OTY drop-downs blow. Emily Schleicher may be the queen of the drop down, but I've only ever gotten 1 point ever from it. And they make this job a bitch.
-but then again, so does doing 5 tournaments at once.
-I have a huge goal between now and Christmas. Let's see how it goes.
-And I'm starting my senior speechwriting now. Let's see if I can keep it a secret.
-And the fight continues. I want to know why!!!!!
-This isn't intentionally like storey's page (except for my titles), I'm just thinking in bullets.

katie says hi at 12:14:58 PM

Luckily....
-this is still my website and i can say what i want to say.
-people take criticisms as criticisms, and not as me being a bitch :). Phil Larochelle and i have an ass-load of differences (mainly cause I make fun of canada a lot :) but i know he knows that my pointed comments below were frustrated shoutouts and a suggestion for younger debaters :)
