Disgusted...
So let's see. No prison time, courtesy of Bush. A $250,000 fine? Well, there's more than that in the multimillion defense fund still, so no need to worry about Scooter's finances. Probation? He can do it standing on his head. Of course, Bush is a lame duck and now no Republican candidate has to answer the question about whether he will help Mr. Libby with his conviction. No surprises here. Current Mood:  disgusted | | Friday, June 29th, 2007 | | 7:31 am |

Meme
Borrowed from my wife ( ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) elaryn), who got it from freezer818 on her friends list.  I thought I'd either get Cyclops or The Angel. Confusing, to say the least. | | Sunday, May 27th, 2007 | | 5:01 pm |
Last night's dream
I don't usually write very much in my Live Journal, but today I felt like it, and I was able to get time on the computer to do so. I have also noticed that the world has not ended due to a lack of my deathless prose, so this probably has worried no one. I am writing today because of what was to me a rather odd dream, and I am posting it in the vain hope that someone other than my wife, Elaine, will notice it and comment on it. First, however, I need to give those who read this and know little about me a key piece of background information which makes a dream odd for me that may not be so odd for someone else. I am afraid of drowning. This has caused me not to learn to swim a stroke until I was 18 years old, in contrast to my cousin Ed, who as a five year old, was capable of swimming past the marker buoys in the water off New York City to the point where his recently deceased father had to retrieve him from trying to get too close to ocean-going vessels. As it is, I am anything but a strong swimmer and I am pleased to do a very few laps in a pool when I have the rare occasion to access one. My maximum depth under water has been touching the bottom of a pool eight feet deep. I have never used any diving equipment, and I apologize to the knowledgeable about such things if I struggle to use the right words for the various items, and especially, if I get anything technically incorrect. The same goes for anything that offends the nautically experienced. In my dream last night, I was sitting in a small rowboat on a beautiful sunlit sea, probably in Caribbean waters. (Hey, I've seen pretty pictures in National Geographic! Otherwise, my furthest point south on the east coast of the U.S. has been Washington, D.C. when I was in elementary school on summer vacation.) The boat lacked a motor, and had only its two oars for propulsion. It was stilled by a tiny anchor off a classic white sand tropical island. I was wearing dark blue swim trunks, a diver's weight belt, diving mask and diver's tank. I was sitting with my back to the aft starboard, tank hanging over the water just off the gunwale. Sitting across from me was the only other occupant of the boat, a gorgeous twenty something brunette in a bikini, with masses of dark hair. Her face was concealed by a diver's mask and her breath piece from her diving tank. Oddly, while she also had a weight belt around her slender waist, neither of us were wearing swim fins. As I thought to ask her who she was, she tilted backward off the boat before the first word could clear my lips. I felt that she had intentionally moved in to the water, but I was uncertain whether she did it to evade conversation, or simply didn't expect me to start talking right then. On seeing this, I set myself ready to go below, and duplicating her motion, sent myself over the side backwards. (Now I know from reading that divers should always have someone remain in the boat when they dive as a safety precaution, but this was ignored in my dream.) At first, I could see as I drifted downwards on my back the sunlight filtering through the surface of the water and I thought it was very like one of those scenes from a Jacques Cousteau televison special. I then reoriented myself in the water and faced downward, bringing both the sea floor and the young woman in to my view. I estimate that in this area the ocean floor was no deeper than about one hundred feet. There was a cave mouth on the bottom and she was swimming in to it. I followed her. It was dark inside the cave and I immediately lost sight of her and my surroundings. The cave was water filled, and I began to swim its length. I felt my way along first down deeper below the surface of the sea, then felt a bend where I sensed that I was now parallel to the bottom and most likely about ten feet below it. After an estimated few yards of this, I felt another bend in the tunnel I was in, and sensed that I was now travelling to a greater elevation within the sea cave, almost directly toward the surface, not of the ocean's floor but the surface of the water. I did not emerge on to a beach, but was rather still inside the cave. There was an air pocket here and a dry area about five feet high. Moreover, I could see because both sunlight and fresh air came through a tiny hole in the roof less than the size of my hand. The woman sat there dripping before me, and she had not yet removed any of her gear so that she could not yet reply should I then attempt to converse with her. I removed my mask and tank and breathed with relief and gratitude the air from outside the cave that whistled through the tiny hole. It is at this unfortunate turn that I woke up, so I wonder if I will ever know what the dream was about or what was to happen next in it. Until I get more time to do this sort of thing, take care. -Neil Current Mood:  curiousCurrent Music: none | | Saturday, December 30th, 2006 | | 6:02 pm |
Evidently, I'm male. What a surprise! [/sarcasm]  | You scored as Male. Being mostly male, within your structures of thinking simply means that your reasoning powers are (the way they are perceived in Western Culture`) higher than the one of the opposite sex. Psychoanalysis claims this to come at the price of creative expression - a rational thinker can not think out of the box, it is claimed. Yet this 'discovery' contradicts the fact that many great minds that created something out of the ordinary were men.

A meme, from Helen and Elaine:
A religion teacher assigned her class an essay on what makes a good Christian. One student wrote about praying nightly, say no to abortion, banning gay marriage, and donating money. The other student wrote about talking to God and allowing people to enjoy their lives, and supporting gay marriage. The day the teacher was to hand the papers back, she called up the second student and told him she would pray for him when he went to hell. The student asked why would he be going to hell, and why he got an F on his paper. The teacher told him that Christianity is against gay marriage. The student looked at her for a minute, then said aloud, "I'm gay." The teacher kicked him out of class as if he had said fuck or worshipped Satan. A girl in the back of class who had a boyfriend and was obviously straight got up and left too. * If you would leave the classroom, repost this. It doesn't matter if you're straight, bi, or gay. Everyone is a human being and deserves happiness. * | | Tuesday, August 2nd, 2005 | | 1:26 am |

13-19: You are a teenager at heart. You question authority and are still trying to find your place in this world.
20-29: You are a twentysomething at heart. You feel excited about what's to come... love, work, and new experiences.

Bizarre!
But my favorite is vanilla... | You Are Strawberry Ice Cream |  A bit shy and sensitive, you are sweet to the core.
You often find yourself on the outside looking in.
Insightful and pensive, you really understand how the world works.
You are most compatible with chocolate chip ice cream. |

Go figure...
Though THIS was my first choice: 
You are dependable, popular, and observant.
Deep and thoughtful, you are prone to moodiness.
In fact, your emotions tend to influence everything you do.
You are unique, creative, and expressive.
You don't mind waving your freak flag every once and a while.
And lucky for you, most people find your weird ways charming! |
Elaine says I am actually more like this: 
You are dignified, spiritual, and wise.
Always unsatisfied, you constantly try to better yourself.
You are also a seeker of knowledge and often buried in books.
You tend to be philosophical, looking for the big picture in life.
You dream of inner peace for yourself, your friends, and the world.
A good friend, you always give of yourself first. |

From Elaine's Blog:

Though sometimes the good ole US of A makes you cringe

You love your freedom and no one's going to take it away from you! |
