Not much going on here (at work). Last night I spent time with my family. Kept those that I couldn't be with in my thoughts and close to my heart. Lit a candle for those in my life and for those who have passed. And read passages in the Bible about the birth and teachings of Jesus Christ (Luke). It was a Good Christmas. :) I hope that everyone's holiday has been filled with Joy and Love! ^.^
Ok, I still don't have the Adam Baldwin ones yet because the girl that has the pics ran out of paper printing out all of hers. Hehe. Guess I can't complain, considering everything she did for me that weekend. *Hugs Judith* But I did find a couple more online.
This is me, looking very bored, tired, and fed up. This was at the beginning of the weekend when the s**t was still hitting the 'Flan'. Lots and lots of standing around and waiting. The aforementioned Judith is standing next to me.
This is a different angle of Nathan Fillion and I. The woman standing next to him had...shall we say...'Star Struck' issues. Later that evening I thought I was going to have to taze her to keep her from bothering Jonathan. :/
..
My signed photo of Mark and I. He really was a very sweet guy. ^.^
My (really crap) photo of Jonathan and I dancing. It was the best shot I had at the time, and he seemed to feel that a heart with an arrow pointing to his butt was the right thing to do. He's just that kinda' guy. Hehe.
And speaking of butts, everyone seemed to feel the need to take a picture of my 'wide load'. ¬.¬ (Pictures of me are bad enough, but WHY must people insist on taking pictures of my backside?) The first is me lighting the 'Ron Glass' candle for Jonathans shrine. Kind of a cool shot with the mirror and everything. The second is yet another shot of me and Mr. Woodward.
That's a wrap! Hope to have my other Big Damn Hero up soon! *crosses fingers*
Ok, so here are SOME of the pictures from 'Flan B' that were taken by other attendees. I, like a moron, didn't bring a camera. >.< I don't have the ones with Adam (and one of Jonathan) yet, as the hard copies are being sent to me via snail mail, and I don't have time to scan the one with Mark right now. But I will soon! Until then...
This pic was taken by 'TheOneTrueb!x', who is a fellow Portland Browncoat. I don't know what in the hell I was doing, but I was sitting next to Mark Sheppard, who also seems to be in a rather animated conversation...
This is a picture of Jonathan Woodward making me dance with him in front of EVERYONE (and this wasn't a slow dance, either. I almost fell over that boy was whippin' me around so fast! The Bedlam Bards were playing 'Rivers Song' from 'Safe') I was so embarrassed that my face turned bright red, but I was famous for the rest of the weekend. ^.^'
This is Jonathan talking to me. After the dancing thing, I was kinda his personal assistant. He was complaining that the Firefly trading cards didn't have any with him on them, and he had wanted to give one to his mother (he was really being a big baby about it :P). He had me holding the book for him while he was talking, and I was flipping through it. The reason he is giving me that look is because I had just said 'You're in here twice, you dork!' :D He kinda looked at everyone in the crowd and said, 'Wow, I feel like an idiot'. It was pretty funny. My friend at the table couldn't believe I had called him a dork (she was literally shocked). I told her I call everyone a dork. XD
These don't really need any explanation. Except for that they make me VERY VERY..happy!
Me and Alan Tudyk. *SQUEEEEEEE* He was wearing a button with a picture of Wash and Shepard Book that said 'Whedon, you Bastard.' I so want that button!
And me with Cap'n Tightpants. :D He was really sweaty. It was kinda gross. :P
That's all I have for now! I'll be sure to get the others up soon! ^.^
To make a long story short, I was absolutely exhausted yesterday by the time I got to Burbank for the Flanvention. I'd been up for over 24 hours, and there had been some issues as to whether the Flan was going to happen or not, and I almost didn't even bother to get on my plane. I would rather be home working for the money that I got screwed out of.
Sure enough, I got off of the plane and checked my messages. The Flan was cancelled. I was stuck in Burbank with no convention, no car, and my planned roommates were no longer staying at the Hilton, so no room either. I got my bags, and went outside for a much needed smoke, and brooded with silent infuriation. I had two options. Stay, and make the best of it, or pay $100 and leave Friday so that I can pick up some shifts at work. I decided to take the shuttle to the Hilton and see what was going on.
I pretty much made friends the second I got off of the shuttle. I LOVE BROWNCOATS! They are just the greatest bunch of people you could ever meet. I met two gals and we clicked right away. When they found out my situation, they pretty much adopted me there on the spot, and now I have new friends and a roof over my head (I really wasn't looking forward to sleeping in the airport). Maybe it wasn't going to be so bad after all.
The highlight of my evening, however, was when I found out that Adam Baldwin had shown up to talk to the fans. I guess he felt really bad about what had happened to us, and spent almost 4 hours in the bar talking to everyone and telling stories. That's why I love firefly. The actors are real people, who care more about the fans than a paycheck. So my new friend encouraged me to go talk to Adam, so I went to the bar, and he was absolutely surrounded by people. And I'm not pushy, not to mention that I am INCREDIBLY shy, so I was content to stand there and observe. I did buy him a beer, but as usual, I have horrible timing, so when I handed it to him, he said thank you, but he was leaving. So I drank it. When he came around the table on his way out, he put his arm around me, said thanks, and asked my friend to take a picture. My little girl heart went *SQUEE!!!*, though of course I kept my composure. After that he walked out, and my friend showed me the picture she just took of Adam's face and my eyes and forehead. :/ lol! One of the girls next to us said at least they would know it was me by my hair. :D
About 10 minutes later, I was outside having a smoke, and Adam walked out from the lobby. He saw me and asked me how that beer was doing, and I told him it was gone. He laughed and hung around for a few minutes talking to the other people. Then my friend showed him the picture she had taken of us, and he thought that was pretty funny. He walked over to me, put his arm around me, and crouched down enough so that we were closer to the same hight, and asked her to take another one. ^.^
He really is a fantastic guy, coming down here to talk to all of us even though he wasn't getting paid for it. And he also informed us that this Saturday, Nathan Fillion, as well as possibly Summer Glau and Maurina Bacarin will be stopping by to hang out with all of us. Yay!
So even though BE completely bolloxed everything up, it has turned out to be quite the weekend so far. There may not be a convention, but there are hundreds of other Browncoats here who are all in good spirits, and having a blast. Most of us are going down to the Santa Monica Pier today, and possibly Universal Studios. Who knows. I'm game for anything, cause I'm on vacation, gorramit!! XD
BE is holding an 'Announcement Meeting' at 11, so I should go get ready (what do you where to a meeting where they're going to tell you you've been duped?). I will keep you all posted.
Stole this from Wade, who yoinked it from someone else. I understand that I haven't posted in forever, but no one really reads this thing, so really. What's the point?

In Loving Memory of Steve Irwin. Yes, he may have been a goof ball, but he was also a gentle soul who gave refuge and saved thousands of animals lives, as well as helped to educate and create awareness in a fun, and entertaining fashion. Though he died doing what he loved, I think fellow animal conservationist Jack Hanna put it best when he said, 'I never pictured a croc killing him, but I never pictured a stingray doing it, either. It's like me getting killed by a poodle.' Though it is a very tragic accident, I am absolutely delighted with the outpouring of kind words about Steve, from all over the world. His face on every newspaper and news site. I was actually shocked by this. Because in the years past, if I heard anyone talking about Steve Irwin, they were usually making fun of him. >.< And that always made me angry. Though, like my friend said, anyone who is passionate about what they do, and unafraid to be themselves, are unfortunately an easy target. :/ I remember watching The Crocodile Hunter and other such Steve Irwin programs with my mom, and my sister. Sometimes I felt like I was too old to be watching them. But hell, I loved them anyway. It was like watching a big kid discovering things for the first time, even though I knew that Steve was incredibly knowledgeable about animals. We cried with him when he his favourite croc, Mary, passed away, because you could just see in his eyes how much he loved animals, and what he was willing to do to nurture and protect them. We shared in the moment when his wife gave birth to their daughter, Bindi, and he was so happy that he was beside himself, and cried when he held her for the first time. There were a lot of memorable moments. (Terri (his wife), also deserved a little shout out, because she is from Eugene, which is about 2 hours from where we live). When we went down to southern Oregon (a desert area) to visit my grandparents about 4 years ago, my sister and I would spend all day looking for lizards and snakes (the lizards I didn't mind, but the snake bothered me a little...thankfully we only encountered one...). My sister would follow me around with a video camera, and I would pretend that I was Steve Irwin, talking with my (more British than Australian) accent...But we had a blast, and my family got a kick out of watching the footage. That ended up being the last time we visited before my grandparents were put in a home. It's one of my fondest memories. My heart goes out to Terri, and their two children, Bindi, and Robert, as well as the staff and volunteers at the Australia Zoo. Steve, you will be sorely missed. You were a great man, with a kind heart, and there will never be another like you!
Steve Irwin: 22, February, 1962-4, September. 2003
If you value Freedom, I implore you to please watch this video. This is not a joke. This reality may very well be the most horrifying thing that you have ever seen. At least I hope it is. Because there is nothing more terrifying than the loss of our Freedom.
Read The Constitution.
Memorize The Bill Of Rights.
Because this knowledge may prove vital to the survival of our country.
There is no past time more fulfilling! For the first time in quite a while, I felt completely happy and stress free. No work. No bills. No dirty house. The ability to leave civilization. It was fantastic.
We did a lot of hiking, eating, and just plain sitting around the campfire and bull shitting. Patricks Point (California) was beautiful. The view from Lookout Rock is amazing. It's near impossible to avoid encountering beauty there. I got a lot of great pictures. It was also cool to see where they shot the Raptor chase scene from the first 'Jurassic Park', the cameras set up on top of Ceremonial Rock. It was very 'California', actually. Hehe. ^.^
I was worried about spending four days with near complete strangers (Old friends of Wade's). But a happy turn of events allowed Jeff and Allison to come along! And they definitely made the trip worthwhile! *hugs teh Greeley's* Spending time with them was a blast, and the thought of hanging out with them again is motivation enough to invest in a car (they live in Springfield). Gotta get those pesky credit card bills out of the way first....
Alas, I am now home. Back to my humdrum life...Back to the bills...back to the dirty house...back to work. Which means I should be in bed.
*sigh*
I miss camping.
Post Script: I had decided to delete my LJ account a few weeks ago. But then I realized that I kind of missed writing about stupid shite that no one cares about. So I re-activated it. ^.^'
I think my jaw actually dropped when reading this.
Actor and director Mel Gibson has apologised for the anti-Semitic words he used during his arrest for drink-driving. Here is his full statement:
There is no excuse, nor should there be any tolerance, for anyone who thinks or expresses any kind of anti-Semitic remark.
I want to apologise specifically to everyone in the Jewish community for the vitriolic and harmful words that I said to a law enforcement officer the night I was arrested on a DUI (driving under the influence) charge.
I am a public person, and when I say something, either articulated and thought out, or blurted out in a moment of insanity, my words carry weight in the public arena.
As a result, I must assume personal responsibility for my words and apologise directly to those who have been hurt and offended by those words..
The tenets of what I profess to believe necessitate that I exercise charity and tolerance as a way of life.
Every human being is God's child, and if I wish to honour my God I have to honour his children. But please know from my heart that I am not an anti-Semite. I am not a bigot. Hatred of any kind goes against my faith.
I'm not just asking for forgiveness.
I would like to take it one step further, and meet with leaders in the Jewish community, with whom I can have a one-on-one discussion to discern the appropriate path for healing.
I have begun an ongoing programme of recovery and what I am now realising is that I cannot do it alone.
This is not about a film - this is about real life and recognising the consequences hurtful words can have I am in the process of understanding where those vicious words came from during that drunken display, and I am asking the Jewish community, whom I have personally offended, to help me on my journey through recovery.
Again, I am reaching out to the Jewish community for its help. I know there will be many in that community who will want nothing to do with me, and that would be understandable.
But I pray that that door is not forever closed.
It's about existing in harmony in a world that seems to have gone mad.
OK...Mel Gibson is cool and all, and yes, he is in a situation where whatever comes out of his mouth is taken more seriously then the average moron, simply because he is a celebrity. Be that as it may, he is still a moron.
Yes, the apology is very heartfelt and all that, but there is something about it that really rubs me the wrong way. He seems to be verbally falling to his knees, and turning on the 'poor me' waterworks. I might take it seriously, if this was the first time he had said something completely offensive without any regard for those which he so blatantly insults.
Can't blame the hooch on these, Mel:
1992: Comments made about Homosexuality, including a graphic remark about anal sex. He said he worried that people think he is gay because he is an actor. 'But with this look, who's going to think I'm gay? It would be hard to take me for someone like that. Do I sound like a homosexual? Do I talk like them? Do I move like them? What happens is when you're an actor, they stick that label on you.' *Um....ok? wtf?*
1995: (Regarding an author of an unauthorized Gibson biography)'I don't think God will put him in my path. He deserves death.' *'All God's children', huh, Mel? Psh.*
2003: Gibson told Clergy members at a 'Passion' screening that it was directed by the Holy Ghost. 'I just directed traffic.' *......*
2004: After The New York Times' Frank Rich wrote a column saying Passion of the Christ could fuel anti-Semitism abroad, Gibson told The New Yorker: 'I want to kill him. I want his intestines on a stick. I want to kill his dog.' *I guess God's children don't include dogs.....*
Gibson, a word of advice. Get some help. For whatever it is you're on/have been on for the past 10 years. And might I suggest keeping a low profile until you have recovered. I don't think your reputation can handle any more of your verbal diarrhea.
Good luck with that.

'Hello, I need to apply for a loan.' No problem! Here are your options... *takes necessary information* Well, the first one was turned down, because you don't make enough. But your credit score is fabulous, so we'll go ahead and try this one... *waiting waiting waiting* We won't know until tomorrow. Is there anything on your credit record that might be holding it up? 'No, there shouldn't be. I always pay my bills on time.' Ok, well we will call you tomorrow. *Big smile* *waiting, waiting, waiting*
next day
Hello, this is the bank. I just wanted to let you know that your application was
-DENIED-
...even though your FICO score is marvelous....Sorry. You may want to try a different bank, and your rejection notice will give you a website where you can look at your credit history and find out what went wrong. Have a nice day!
Man: Cute cat. What's its name? Randal: Annoying Customer.
Yes, Randal Graves, there is a special little place in my heart just for you. <3 <3 <3
P.s. Go see 'Clerks II'. Do it now. Unless you are faint of heart, and can't handle violently crude humor and satire. If not, then it's a fucking blast! I didn't think it was possible to make anything better than 'Clerks'. But Kevin Smith does not disappoint! ^.^
If you live in Portland, and are abso-fucking-lutely tired of the heat?
I thought so. Wade and I finally caved, and sent her younger brother to go pilfer an extra airconditioner that their grandmother had. This thing must have been made in the 70's....it's pretty old, but damnit, it works! This led to the nightly camp outs in the livingroom. Wade and I would compare work schedules in order to map out sleep schedules. I worked 3-11pm, so she got the couch before her shift. Then she goes to work around midnight, so I get the couch for her shift, though I usually end up sleeping on the floor because the couch is too constricting. So her brother usually takes over the couch, which is cool, because he pretty much gets the short end of the stick, even though he was the one that asked for the airconditioner. BUT, he's a punk, with lots of friends he could stay with, so. I don't feel too terrible. Slytherin, y'know ^.^
Tomorrow is my day off, and I have a few things to take care of. I will be going to the bank and asking for a personal loan. I'm thinking $8,000. That will cover my $3,000 credit card, my $1,500 sears card that my sister left me with (>.<), my $2,500 student loans, and my $900 dentist bill (fecking wisdom teeth). That way, I don't have a total of 40% interest between them (the sears card is the worst at 25%, but the $3,000 one is going up in January) I will only have a 9% or so interest rate, and only one bill to pay a month.
I am concerned that they will be a might reluctant to give a 23 year old a personal loan, but my boss said that she would completely vouch for me to make things a little easier. Which is totally cool of her. And my credit is in pretty good shape otherwise. I've always payed my bills on time.
And while I'm in the area, I will be buying myself a pair of fairy wings for the fairy festival in Eugene on Sunday (I know, I'm bitching about needing money, and then talk about how i'm buying a pair of wings). Anywho, I'm going as a pirate fairy, because, well, I'm just that cool. ^.~
And then, I'm gunna kick it old school with my friend Michelle. Cuz we haven't in a while, and stuff.
Aren't you all glad that you got a detailed schedule of my day? Wasn't that exciting? wwWWWOW!
Hey, at least I'm not bitching about how lame I am. Be thankful for the break! :P
So it is a well known fact that I am quite smitten with Mr. Johnny Depp. Some may call me a classic case of FanGirl. While to a degree, I am, I have also always stated that Johnny Depp as a man, is my ideal on most levels. Yes, he is very pretty and all that, but I am most attracted to him, as a human and as an actor. Not just a body.
What, you ask, has warranted such a rant of self justification? Well, I have seen many of Johnny Depp's films, and have loved nearly all of them for their own quirky reasons. And until now, only one has brought me to tears. That would be 'Finding Neverland', which is a fine film, to be sure. But it gets lost in the shadows of the movie that I saw tonight.
The Libertine
Ok, so I know what you are thinking. 'Isn't that the movie about that guy who is addicted to sex?' which would obviously lead to 'Well of course you would love a movie that has Johnny Depp and sex.'
No.
I have >NEVER< seen such a beautifully moving performance from Depp. His ability to portray such a deep passion and emotional state is absolutely unbelievable. It wasn't about his pretty face. It wasn't about the sex. It was raw, human emotion. The ecstacy, the rage, the loss, the hopelessness....It is the definition of 'heart stopping'.
I have never felt this way after seeing a movie before. It's indescribable, and I think it's unfortunate that it hasn't gotten the credit that it deserves. I think everyone, man, woman, even the most avid Johnny-Depp-Hater, needs to see this movie.
And then sit down...and look at yourself.
What do you see?
**** Edit:
Some people are better at writing reviews then I am...Like this person...
This wasn't a glamorized period costume drama that Hollywood loves to overdo and it wasn't NC-17 for nothing! There was some technical roughness and lack of continuity but they were minor quibbles in what I considered a triumph. The mood, the sets and cinematography, the script and, most of all, the acting were all of the highest and most innovative caliber. Depp was in almost every scene and was fascinating beyond anything I'd ever experienced. His force and range of emotion and naturalness were exceptionally powerful and moving from first to last. You hated him and loved him, were repulsed by him and felt pity for him. You were drawn to him almost against your will, like a vortex pulling you in. All else paled in comparison. This was a Johnny Depp that I'd never seen before but so hope I have a chance to again. This performance is the crowning glory to date of his illustrious career and I see no limits to what he can accomplish in the future. Everyone else was uniformly excellent (* I ADORE John Malkovich!^.^*) although Samantha Morton didn't portray the allure the Elizabeth Barry in the play had (*I think she was amazing*).
My primary recommendation for improving this work in progress before theatrical release center around clarifying motivations up front for why these people were the way they were. This could be done by a combination of edits and additions. I found I liked it even better and was more moved by it the second time I saw it when I wasn't concentrating as much on following the storyline.
This was a movie I loved and can't get it out of my mind. It was stunning and compelling beyond anything I've seen in a very long while.
My friend Jay sent this to me. He said it reminded him of me somehow.
I'm a little high-strung.
^.^
I think Wade and I laughed so hard we lost about 10lbs between us (and warrented some pretty terrified looks from Catie...). And I discovered that laughing is sometimes better than sex....or....maybe I've just never had good sex.... o.0
ANYway, everyone needs to laugh this hard at least once a week, It should be a law.
I know other people figured it out already, but I was just proud that I put two and two together before reading it somewhere. Usually I am the last to catch on.
Tia Dalma is the un-tamable woman that broke Davy Jones' heart. The locket that she has one the table (which we see when Jack pilfers the ring) bares the same markings as Davy Jones' music box (which we see when Will is stealing the key). Also note the tone, and expression Tia Dalma uses when she is telling the story of Davy Jones to the crew. She's totally gloating. Also, I am beginning to think that that is the reason her mouth is always black. It's ink. It has to be some sort of connection physically between her and Jones (curse gone wrong maybe?). Jones is metamorphosing into a squid/octopus. They squirt ink (no dirty innuendos!). When Jack is bartering souls with Jones, he says 'Sign it in blood?...er....Ink?'.
I'm just sayin'.
I will leave the other prediction to Wade on what is to come in the 3rd installment. I may be a Slytherin, but I won't steal her glory on this one. Because I think she's got a good point, and she deserves the recognition.
Saw 'Dead Man's Chest' on Saturday. But if I start talking about it, I wont stop. SO I will just say...I don't think I have ever enjoyed a movie so much in my life (Shaun of the Dead is a close second...). And of course, once again, Johnny Depp has swept me off of my metaphorical feet. *swoon* ^.^ Ok, must stop.
Anyway, my boss calls me Saturday night and asks me to work Sunday morning, because one of my co-workers, who is always late, and notorious for calling in sick, has called in sick. >.< So, since I love my boss, I say I will. Wade and I go see DMC, and then Wade is off to work. I make a phone call that ends around 12:30 am, and I'm of to bed.
Problem is I can't sleep. Here is how the next 20 hours played out.
1:30- I move to the couch and turn on the TV. 2:00- I clean out the un-used coffee pot. I get the feeling I am going to need it. 2:30- I pop in a movie. Maybe that will wear me out. 4:00- Movie is over. Drew Carey is on. I munch on some carrots. 5:15- I get ready for work, whilst sucking down that inevitable cup of coffee. 6:15- I arrive at work. Tired as alllllllll sorts of hell. 7:00- I clock in, and realize that I have 38 people checking out...this is not good. 9:30- Lots of angry people start bitching at me, one after the other, because we have run out of milk, and coffee. 10:00- Woman starts getting miffy at check out because she thought the room was shite. Won't shut up about how shitty it is. 10:15- New woman flat out starts YELLING at me, because the room was shite, and wont pay for it, wont pay for the $14.00 phone call she made. I call my boss. 11-3- Things continue in this manner, pissy people, everyone checking out at once, new people checking in...blah, fucking blah. P.S. I haven't had anything to eat, because I don't get a lunch on this shift. Because I am by myself. 3:15- I'm beginning to worry. My other piece of shite co-worker was supposed to be there at 3. 3:30- I call my boss. She says she'll call another employee. 3:40- After trying everyone, she is forced to come in herself. She is at a restaurant, but will be there as soon as she can. 4:30- I clock out. 5:30- I get home (I walk a lot slower when I am running on no sleep, my feet are killing me, and it's 90º outside). 6:00- I go to bed.
11:30 am, 7/10, I wake up and start all over. And what do I get out of this? The girl that I have wanted gone from the moment I met her is now fired. Which, after 17 hours of sleep, makes me very happy.
Guests have started asking me if I live there. Kinda funny.
Anyway, I'm done bitching. Here's a really long survey that a myspace friend posted. Proof that I am, indeed, not very intelligent when it comes to academics and general historical knowledge. Copied and pasted from a bulletin.
Enjoy!
1)What is your favorite color, and why? Green. Because it catches my eye.
2)What is your favorite genre of movies, and why? I will watch anything that looks interesting. I will turn it off if it's not. Because otherwise it's a waste of my brain.
3)What is your favorite genre of music, and why? Anything that doesn't irritate that hell out of me. Because I don't like being irritated.
4)What is your opinion on the Iraq war? I think it has gone on for far too long, and it hasn't been well executed, but as far as its purpose, they started it.
5)What color is the sky? Whatever colour it wants to be.
6)Have you ever cheated on another? No.
7)Have you had a relationship with someone you were not physically attracted to? No.
8)Are you mean to people? Only if they are mean to me first. And it usually takes a lot of pushing on their end.
9)Who is the best president the U.S. has ever had, and why? I honestly don't know, because I never paid attention in History class.
10)Who was the worst, and why? See answer 9.
11)Who was the best leader you believe the world has ever seen, and why? Um...
12)Who was the worst, and why? Er...
13)What is your opinion of the media? I think the media would be a good source of information, if it wasn't filtered for 'our protection', and wasn't used as a distraction from the real issues. And sometimes (mostly with celebrity) way out of line.
14)What is your opinion of gun control? 'Guns don't kill people, people do....but I think the gun helps.' -Eddie Izzard Guns are like anything else. Stupid people ruin things.
15)Who do you perfer? Ann Coulter or Al Franken? Who?
16)What do you think when a woman is carrying a screaming child through a store? Roll my eyes and make comments on how if I ever tried screaming like that in a store I would be backhanded. Fear is a powerful weapon.
17)What is your opinion on Roe v. Wade? Huh?
18)What is your opinion on the Death Penalty? An eye for an eye.
19)What do you think about video games? Some are good. I'm not a gamer, but I'll throw down some Tetris any day! Working at Wunderland kind of killed the video game thing for me. I also get motion sick.
20)Are you the seducer, or perfer to be seduced? Prefer to be seduced.
21)Do you perfer large groups, or close friends? Close friends. I'm people-phobic and bitter.
22)What is your opinion on the Israel/Palenstine conflict? I haven't a clue.
