I am fundraising for the Impecunious Female Victims of California Highway Patrol Aggression (or the IFVCHPA, as you might know it), and funds are low. The current case we're working on is a very unfortunate young lady who's going to be paying about 3-4K and might even be in big trouble with her school. She has already quit drinking and smoking totally (5 days now) and is very determined to never again require the services we provide here at the IFVCHPA. Please be generous. As always, donations are 100% tax-deductible and earn you brownie points with God. I'll be flying out to CA next month on business, so hopefully I'll see some of you there.
Donations may be sent to:

IFVCHPA , Inc.
8105 Kenova Lane
Springfield, VA 22153

*Oh, and don't make checks out to IFVCHPA; just leave that part blank. Thanks.

I've been flirting with disaster for so long and so recklessly that, overcome with temptation, it pounced on me.
4:30 a.m., Saturday morning:
"Donny? This is Pat Carter. We have a situation. Klaske totalled his truck, Claire's in jail, Josh Clarke's wandering down the 150 being stalked by a gang of Mexicans, and I'm stranded at the Stein with Bernadette Couglin. Can you help us?"

Ridiculormque?!?

Last seminar as a junior (God, let's hope!) tonight. It was on the sonnets, so i knew it wasn't going to be good. What's that, something in my eye, you say? You don't like the sonnets? No! I do & that's the point. What I don't like is dissecting poetry, discussing it, analyzing it. Mr Baer said that if you write something beautiful you have a moral obligation to share it with others. Nonsense! Then other people (the ones who always latch onto whatever he says & run w/ it) started trying to support that but even Mr Baer was saying that their arguments were silly. Sometimes I think he says ridiculous things just to see who would side with him. He was smirking. Apparently Mr Baer never had a secret garden that no one in the world knew about that he could crawl into and revel in his hidden delight. I guess I never really did either, not literally anyway, but I saw its appeal. We all need our little secret delights, if for no other reason than to have a refuge from a sometimes suffocating life. I'm antcipating Neoteronous disagreeing w/ me for disagreeing w/ Baer, given his (Danny's) insights ( and very profound and true ones at that) into the nature of love and its eccentricity. I maybe am not making sense, but so what- it's my blog!!! te-hee-hee. haven't slept more than 6 hours total the last 3 nights. Today's 05-05-05! The next time that happens we'll all be long gone. I'm gonna get some sleep now.
