Amo la coca light

Oh my god I can't believe I like the new Ashlee Simpson song. I feel like a total loser.  A total loser that constantly sings this song from sun up to sun down. I'm hoping that I'm not the only one, that the rest of the world will catch on, and then I can come out about my devotion to all things Ashlee.  Chances of that actually happening: slim to none. But I'm keeping the faith.
 
I only had one diet coke today, and one coffe, 16oz. I'm quite pleased, tho the headaches have been quite a fun adventure to deal with.
 
Am I being paranoid? Your thoughts and comments would be appreciated... check it out:  I used to think blogging was totally nerdy and for losers. Then, I read "The Washingtonienne" and sort of caught on to the fact that they might not be so trashy and pathetic.  Then, I realized that a lot of people I know have blogs.  I then reasoned that either one of two things was happeneing:
 
1. All my friends are pathetic losers
or
2. I'm missing out.
 
I chose #2, and went with it... thus, my blog. 
 
I'm terrified to write on it during work because of what happened to the  Washingtonienne.  But, considering I'm not a prostitute, I don't sleep with men for money/clothes/food/self esteem, I figured I'll be just fine. But writing it at work, no matter how tempting it is when things come up, I just can't do it.
 
Time for a diet coke. More later.

Voterò per il Senatore Kerry?

Sometimes I like to pretend I'm Italian. When the novelty wears off, you'll be the first to know. You have my word.

Anyway... The question remains: Will I vote for Senator Kerry? I'm not sure what the answer to that question is yet. Before you get all hot and bothered, I think it's only fair to say that there is no way that I could ever vote for Bush, unless of course he decided to:

1. Keep his word on Compassionate Conservatism and approach social issues with a fair and balanced mind.

2. Acknowledge that women are indeed people too (can you believe it?).

3. Understand that the only way we can reduce the incidences and frequencies of abortions are to make them safe, legal, and rare. We can do this by promoting comprehensive sex education, providing emergency contraception over the counter, providing sufficient funds to UNFPA to aid reproductive health in over 150 countries, treating victims of rape as crime victims and providing them with access to emergency contraception, and by allowing for all women to be able to practice their right to choose.

Quite frankly, I don't see that happening anytime soon. So I will not be voting for Bush. I like the idea of a Democratic Presidential ticket with a Republican House and Republican/Democratic Senate (as it's too close to call). It keeps things checked and balanced, and you can't go wrong with that. That is what our country needs, and what will give us the strongest government. So...

Voterò per il Senatore Kerry? Non lo so...But you can make damn sure that I am going to do my research.

Sono un nerd enorme

Everyone that knows me knows that I secretly want to be a HUGE NERD. My whole life, I have been 90% of the way there. But today, my friends, TODAY I made it. I have a blog, and I'm not afraid to use it.

Only, the thing is... I really have no idea how this works. So bear with me as I try and figure this out.

Diet Coke count: 2 (only 2!), but the day is young.
