i am a peacenik in my sleep
“You don’t have to be a doctor to spot the symptoms – fear, frustration, stress, impotence, discouragement, even despair – rampant in American culture today. A quick review of the patient’s history and pathology reveals even more reason for alarm. What we see all around us may be clear evidence of a serious societal overexposure to risk. Probable cause? We live and work in a dangerous world.
The diagnosis? A new, or perhaps just mutating, human strain of risk disorder. It’s usually a persistent, low-grade, chronic complaint, intermittently manifested in acute flare-ups triggered by sudden changes in environmental conditions and circumstances. The body’s (anybody’s or everybody’s) inability to properly process risk is often accompanied by mild to moderate cases of risk aversion. Left untreated, the condition can result in serious, sometimes even total, paralysis.
My prescription? I’m tempted to say, ‘Take two risks and call me in the morning,’ but I know of no quick cures for this malady.”

lovely update as per usual
Aw, I'm glad you found someone that deserves you. Some guys can be quite manipulative, but I'm glad I know a lot of guys who aren't. It just surprised me because I didn't expect him to be like that.
By the way, I really like your site. Very cute.
that's because i'm pro at xanga. and that's my old layout, i don't remember how to change any of it so luckily for me i had good taste back then. :]]
