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.

okay, not so grumpy anymore. a bit of pb and j, vicodin, and xanax go a long way.
i met this really cool woman the other day. totally wonderful energy. she was at the forum tonight. anyhow, my friend c was telling me about how a friend of hers, before she became her friend, said to her one day "you've got cool energy, we should be friends." so, at the end of the night i walked up to this woman and said "i never do this, but you've got really great energy and i'd like to be your friend." i definetly put myself out there, and she probably thinks i'm a total freak, but she did give me her phone number (and i've got her email address because of interacting with her about some photos i have and her group working with my group on an event). anyhow, i'll see what happens. she's just really nice, and her energy is so open. she's dealing with something incredibly difficult and i am simply in awe of how well she's handling it. it will be interesting to see what happens, as i'm rather scared of people.
what else? i've got a lot to do in the next few days. i've been known not to follow through, to accomplish tasks i've said i'd do, i am bound and determined not to let the lcbordc down. i'm bound and determined to excel here, do everything i possibly can to help the work. do everything i possibly can to learn new skills. i'm entering a new chapter in my life and i hope that this foray into this committee is a successful one, that this doesn't go on my never ending list of failures.
oh and did i mention going to pride? pride isn't my scene anymore, esp. now that i've come out as bisexual. i've had my rainbow phase, my queer only phase, now i see the world no longer through rainbow colored glasses. as i've started to tell people, for me personally its no longer about loving a few its become more about simply loving people. thats not nearly as eloquent as i'd like it to be, but i think it says what i mean. as i'm doing this new work i'm concerned about the queer community's place in it and i can hold on to that and make sure they aren't left out, but queer isn't my only focus. but i'm not critisizing anyone who is queer identified. no, this is just about me personally and my feelings about queer in my life.
oh, but on that same lines.. there is a really cute girl who signed the lcbordc petition for the lane co. anti-upa resolution. i've met her a few times and i'm very attracted. i wonder how ethical it would be for me to get her information off the petition and call her? somehow i don't think its very ethical.
okay. the xanax / vicodin mix isn't putting me to sleep yet, i think the pb and j woke me up some.. but i've got biopsy boy on my chest now. i think he would like my undivided attention.
