One Girl Revolution

Well, an e-mail just went around the office saying that there were tickets available for The Swell Season (the show I was desperate to see on May 10). I have friends coming in this weekend, and was hoping that by some miracle, there would be three tickets available.

There are two.

The Universe seems intent on telling me, "THOU SHALL NOT SEE INCREDIBLE IRISH MUSICIANS, FOR THOU ART NOT WORTHY."

Man, I totally cannot wait for this week to be over.

It's been a tough week, but I have to admit that this made me feel slightly better.

I need to explore steampunk a bit more, possibly with theycallmeboy. It's one of the few costuming subcultures/lifestyles I can think of where the individual components of some outfits could used for everyday wear - meaning I don't need separate wardrobes. I can live with that.

It looks like the Fred Phelps Hate Machine will be in my general vicinity tomorrow. Fortunately, there is a genius plan in place to twist this around into something positive. No, no, come back. Just stay with me, 'kay?

Ok, here's the deal - according to this post:

Kate Brindle, Program Coordinator of the LGBTRC, and Dan Burns, Chair of the LGBTRC Advisory Committee, will each pledge $2.00 for every minute Members of the Westboro Baptist Church are protesting on EMU’s (Eastern Michigan University) campus to raise money for the LGBT Emergency Fund which provides financial assistance for EMU students who encounter immediate financial hardship do to issues surrounding sexual orientation or gender identity/expression.

But wait, it gets better! You - yes, you, my friends - can get in on the fun as well! Just go to this online pledge form, enter what you'd like to pledge per minute (so be careful with your amounts), then count down to the Zero Hour of tomorrow, May 9, at 12:00 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time. Though no one wants to see them spend even a second dispensing their vile, filthy, ugly hate, at least this time around, something good will come of it. And won't they be thrilled to tears when they find out?

Even if you can't donate due to budget constraints (like myself at the moment), please feel free to pass this along to interested parties in any way you see fit. We certainly don't want to leave anyone out, you know?

The moment of truth...

...so basically, in the event of total societal collapse, a massive food shortage, a freak snow storm, or the zombie apocalypse, my biggest danger is...15 other humans.

Just for the record, you'll never take me alive.
