So.......
us lovely girlies are aLL participating in National Novel Writing Month. I somewhat doubt that any of us will actually finish the required 50,000 words needed to "win" but........ its fun!!! And it should help my SOTA creative writing portfolio.
And....we will all post them on this blog, well maybe, if we aren't in a self-conscious mood. Search for sfgirlives on the site for an excerpt of what I have written so far.And my "writing buddies" are ALL the other teengerines.
Happy Reading/Writing!!!!

hope?
its true, I've been busy. I'm going to try to post each new post on facebook, so maybe people actually read it.
So sorry about the lack of Obama victory talky talky, but come on. EVERYONE writes about that. I mean, with good reason and everything, but still.
I was quite overjoyed and everything, what with my reproductive rights not being taken away in California, but sad about Prop.8
Not enough to completely overcome the Obama euphoria, but it did depress me. Here i THOUGHT California was this equality-loving, reasonable, and tolerant place that I could be proud to call my home. It still can be- might be- whether with a court decision or another Proposition on the ballot in two years.
And the prop eight protests happened recently. My minister got arrested, and was out on bail to be in church on Sunday. People who supported prop 8 might've thought they were "protecting their children" from "deviants and weirdos," but that isn't the real truth. Gay people are people, gay families are families, and you'd think by now everyone would've realised that. Because prop 8 really attacks people like my minister, his partner, and their kids, a loving family like any other.
Why is it possible to put their marriage on a ballot?

Ok, excuse me for constantly posting political stuff, but...
For all of you who are annoyed with Joe The Plumber.....
here's the news
joe the plumber is not a plumber.
he's a contractor and a right-wing radio guy who doesn't believe in paying taxes. AND ironically, his real income revealed, it was soon apparent that obama's tax plan would actually benefit him more.
well ok then.
(props to mnbc. i <3 them)
my copy and paste won't work. otherwise i would've posted the video.
