This song is in my head!

As of yesterday, Barbara, the meanest manager ever was finally fired!

Celebration time, come on!

Norma, our president, fired her. I'm beyond proud of her! She did it in the best way possible.. but I can't give out all the details.. just be happy it's finally been done!

DeafNation Chicago - October 7, 2006

I headed out to Harper College out in Palatine, IL. It is hard as hell to get to when you don't drive. But being around other deaf, I had a blast.







During the Summer at Montrose beach... I took a bunch of pictures primarily for a deaf AIDS quilt project going on at Illinois Masonic hospital... I wonder what's the status on that... hm *makes mental note to page toby*



Kelly Clarkson in St. Louis July 24, 2006
I went out by my lonesome, got my wallet stolen but the photos I took very well made up for the madness.. and the heat. and if you like to view concert pix.. This was the first time I used a new thing I discovered called BananAlbum and.. well, I went for my Kelly pix..



Gallaudet University Protests
I made a really long post over at my xanga account. Whether or not I get any comments, would be nice because sometimes I feel like I'm talking to a wall and I'm sick of it. So, go read, and comment. If you're not on xanga, that's fine, come back here and warm my heart. If you're on both, do it on both accounts, yeah? ;)

Good luck miss empresskara! You would be a beautiful mommy!

Oh in case I forgot to mention.. I am alive. :)

I am the mother who told her lesbian daughter to invite her girlfriend over for dinner.

I am the father who punished his son for calling you a fag.

I am the preacher who told my congregation that love, not hate, is the definition of a true follower of God.

I am the girl who did not learn the meaning of "homosexual" until high school but never thought to question why two men might be kissing.

I am the woman who argues (quite loudly and vehemently) with the bigots who insist that you do not have the right to marry or raise children.

We are the high school class who agrees, unanimously, along with our teacher, that love should be all that matters.

If you agree, repost this. Do it. You don't have to be afraid. You can handle it. You're stronger than you think.

I am making a difference. Hate will not win.

In a Past Life...

You Were: An Evil Poet. Where You Lived: Thailand. How You Died: Natural causes.

As soon as I saw that I was like "COOL!" and "at least my death wasn't terrifying.

Yes sweet Johnny.. it's for yooouuuuuu!

[i'm having fun creatively.]

LJ is NOT agreeing with me.. thus a crap-tacular layout.

So, today's my birthday.. Someone already wished me a happy birthday [thanks spinelesslaughs].. I just called mom, so it's good to know she's doing well.

Anyway, I have to go continue cleaning and try to have a good birthday.

Joni.. I made this last night for you...
