Defending serial commas.

I memorized that rule in the first grade, and it has always served me well. Why people now want to create needless confusion, I do NOT know.

Jenn's in the hospital.

Apparently, she had a cyst on the ovary that burst, or something like that. But it should be nothing serious, they're just keeping her overnight to make sure of that. Ruins our beach plans, though.

Interesting idea...

Pity I have no cause to support. Oh, and the first I heard about it was in support of CAN. Hm. I wonder. Does "my college fund" count as a charity? What about "buying stuff for the babies"? Or "buying stamps for people to write letters to the editor/government officials with"? Go ahead, name a charity, and I'll consider it.

Charities I will NOT consider:

Anything "pro-life".
Any republican's campaign.
Heck, any political campaign.
CAN (like that surprised anyone)
PETA

*sigh* And another attempt at education is wasted.

Or it seems to be. I pointed out, nicely, that most people in that comm won't support a group called Cure Autism Now, and she actually replied! She wanted to know "what's wrong with it". Well, I thought we might actually have a chance to learn something. So I explained, gently, that to support that group we'd have to at least agree with the basic premise of curing autism. And... that's it. She hasn't replied. What a waste of time.

*uses her daniel icon to cheer up*

Edit: Okay, she was reading. Now I feel stupid/rude.

POLL!

Well, sans the poll part. Figgy made me some Very Hungry Caterpillar icons (which she should really put in an independent post instead of just tacked onto my request, they're too good to just stay there) and I can't decide which one to use:

1.

2.

3.

Help?

Hey, moggy, that reminds me...

Weren't you going to write me a booklist?
