*sigh*

It doesn't seem fair that people can hurt you more than once in the same way. There should be some kind of rule that prevents it.

Trip Pics coming soon.

Creepy Neighbor Fail

Because it Matters

Because THEY matter.

And because we cannot forget.

The suspect is in custody at a Medical Facility where he has been told he has permanent paralysis. Apparently, he has no feeling from the chest down and limited feeling in his arms.
He will remain in custody until his trial as the military justice system has no bail.
His lawyer seems concerned about where they will keep him once he is released from the hospital.

Don't worry, Sir. No member of the US Military or any of it's dependants will harm your client. He is a pitiful, paralyzed man who deserves to lay in a room and think about the thirteen lives he's stolen from this earth until he has his hour in court. And let me assure you, Sir, it will be a brief hour, and then justice will be done.

Nothing will ever fully atone for the good people he so arrogantly ended, but even his dispicable act will not strip from us our humanity. Justice will be done according to the laws of this great nation, and not the petty whims of petulant fanatics.

As the details of this tragic day emerge, I pray fervently that your client does not intend to use his faith as a reason for his inexcusable actions. And tell him that his own people are disgusted and broken hearted at what he has chosen to become.

Peace be with all of us who desire it and work toward it, and God bless the brave men and women of the US Military, the civilians who support them, and the dependants of both.

No Bueno

Too many old dreams.
Restless night, old fears.
I just want to bundle up and sleep for days.

Bacio means Kiss

Fabulous Gelato in Old Pasadena!

Two things: Nick's face is hilarious in this because he looks like 'wth?' and MY face is hilariously squished. So....yeah. Apparently this is what I look like when I kiss......and CLEARLY this is why I'm single! HAHAHA

I LOVE my Nicholas!!

I also LOVE my Justin!

Luna's like "Put me DOWN, biatch! I will smack you!"

One Fine Night in LA County....

Marci gave me this a while back. It's a zoom in of the face of Mary Magdalene. Marci says she's not a good artist. I call bullshit. This is beautiful.

My friend Becca modeling a scarf that came out REALLY good that I made for Jill and will send this week.

Close up of warm scarf with embroidery-why yes, I DOhave flannel sheets on my bed, and yes they are grey and green. Wanna fight about it?

My room: Yup: cords everywhere and a desk that could use a little cleaning off....

Where I sleep, read, draw, work on my laptop, wrestle with Luna....etc. I am Class of 2001 (high school) 2005 (college) and, as noted in that throw, 2008 (Master's).

This is our living room. Notice the two funky 50s barstools? We call them Molly and Arthur. And yes, our futon IS orange, thank you. and YES, we have an exercise bike directly between the dining area and the living room. This pic is taken from the dinner table. Also, the monkey on the floor? That's Neville: he's Luna's boyfriend.

Close up of our tree (It's about 2 1/2' tall and on our dining table)

Stockings! Jess, Marci, Luna, Brent, Lily

Tita, Marci, Luna

Beautiful Girls!!

Marci and Luna-Gorgeous, aren't they??

Is she Martha Cecilia......or Martha Stewart?!?!

Mmmmm....Confetti cupcakes with chocolate frosting and orange sprinkles....THANKS, MARCI!!

Random snapshots of another chill night with lovely folks....

So...

I'm abandoning real life to live in the land of LOST.

Seriously. I might move there and build a hut. Next to Sayid's. Or Jack's.

I could totally help Sun garden and babysit Aaron for Claire.

Yeah, definitely getting LOST.
