Happy Birthday Kimmy!

You can add me to the list of converts to Charlie's Soap. I've used it on several loads of clothes now and it really does make them feel softer. It's got a nice, clean smell and it's a lot cheaper than regular detergents. You don't even need fabric softner. http://www.charliesoap.com/

The Astros have pretty much sucked this season, but I am laughing hysterically as we just beat the Cardinals 18 to 1 in a game of pure comedy gold.

Congrat to Craig Biggio on his 3000th hit. I've watched this guy for over 16 years and he's always been my favorite player. I remember being in elementary school and always playing 2nd base in kickball or softball bc that's where Biggio played and being convinced I would marry him.

Happy birthday olegvolk!!!

All everyone's been talking about is the Virginia Tech shooting. I can't take another idiot reporter screwing up all of the terminology and basically filling in whatever sounds scariest when they don't have a clue. Anti-gun people are trying to use this as a case for more gun bans and restrictions. Gun nuts everywhere are using this as a case for fewer restrictions. I really don't understand how people can honestly believe that more laws are going to stop this sort of thing. If a person doesn't care about laws against murder, what makes them think they will care about any gun laws. This guy obviously wasn't supposed to be carrying a gun on campus but did. Who's to say whether this particular incident would have been stopped if students were given the option to carry on campus, but at least there would have been a better chance.

When I was at Tulane we weren't allowed to have guns on campus and we were in a city that was always topping the charts for murder and violent crime. Walking across a dark campus to get back to your dorm certainly never felt safe for me. None of my classmates seemed warped enough to pull a stunt like that, but I was in engineering and didn't know I should have been watching what those crazy English majors were up to.

I think one of my favorite new reports was this one
ABC's Brian Ross reported:

"[Cho Seung-hui] bought his first gun, a 9 mm handgun, on March 13 and his second weapon, a 22 mm handgun, within the last week, law enforcement officials tell ABCNEWS.com."


Yep, he was using a 22 mm handgun. I would like to get my hands on one of those. I only thought a .50 was sexy.

Most of my friends list have already said everything I would have to add to this, so I won't ramble on forever. It was a sad event, and it's even worse that people are trying to use it to place more restrictions on gun ownership.

Oleg's been putting together several posters about the Virginia Tech shooting. One of features pictures of me... http://olegvolk.livejournal.com/230439.html

RIP glushi. I'm not sure what was going on at the end with your accident, but you were a beautiful woman inside and out. I'm going to miss our chats.

Happy birthday partywhipple

RIP stiletto_one. You will surely be missed by many of us.

I'm in love. Today I got my necklace and earring set from LJ's very own pooka. She does amazing work with all sorts of things. All of you need to go check her out and buy stuff :)

Happy Birthday atlasimpure! I hope today kicks as much ass as you do :)

I've always been fairly crazy and done things my way, so why mess with tradition. I'm engaged. Dave popped the question, I said yes, and we're incredibly happy :)

And no, I'm not pregnant :)
