me.
i'm brooke. a short, fatish, bisexual, feminist, pacifist, very-liberal activist. i have 4 cats. and 2 computers, 2 kayaks, 1 masters degree, multiple backpacks, and way too many books.
i live in the most beautiful eugene, oregon. i'm currently disabled due to treatment resistant severe depression. i've been blogging since election day of 2000.
i'm born and raised in the mountains of southwestern virginia. i could join the daughters of the american revolution, i don't think they'd like me cause i hear they like to throw tea parties instead of rallies and revolutions.

Friday, May 9
when the fuck did west virginia become the midwest? i swear, sometimes the news out here gets things related to east coast geography skewed.
tommorrow is the action. d, another organizer and i, went out to the site today and mapped out LOVE.. i'll be at the meeting place in town getting the women organized into carpools.. i wish i was headed out to the site first and not staying in town. but i guess its good, cause i'm the only one of the 3 of us who has a cell.. i'll be calling into the site to let them know when i leave, and to give an estimate of the number. but still, it was SOOO nice out there with no one there. unfortunately its private land and i won't be able to go out there again.
saw the doc today. she's not sure when she'll hear if the powers that be are going to try to shut her down. she also told me that she's applying to be a researcher for a new anti-depressant thats coming out. even if she does get accepted she's not sure if i'll qualify for the study. it will really suck if she's able to and i don't qualify. even thinking about me not entering the study makes me angry. she said to me today there's nothing else that western medicine can do for you.. i would think that simply out of compassion i would be admitted. but medicine isn't always about compassion- especially mental health medicine. i was distracted today because of the action so i didn't talk to her as much as i wanted to about this. i see her next week, we'll talk more.
i still haven't gotten my rop caucas registration in the mail! dammit! marcy must be thinking i'm a way lazy butt.. but i'm not. i'm going, i'm going! its next saturday :P.. luckily i've emailed them and told them its not in the mail. i've also got to get the rebate stuff in for my printer scanner. i suck at getting things in the mail.. and to think, i've joined nervousness- a land mail art object community, rather ironic.
okay, time to get myself to bed. i've gotta get up early. big day tommorrow. i hope i hope i hope i hope this all turns out well!!!!!
