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.

Saturday, June 7
went to a speech training today. good stuff. long and intense. luckily they gave out a work book so i can refer back to it. so much information in 5 hours. and the hours went by pretty fast. except for the fact that the muscle in my back that i seem to keep irritating decided to be extra irritable. came home and ended up taking a 2 hour nap. this being tired in the middle of the day thing is rather crazy.
dad will be here in 24 hours. he'll be here for 2 days. not sure what we're gonna do on monday, but tuesday i think we're gonna hang with q for a bit. i think the two will like each other. q is way cool, dad is pretty cool too. i adore them both.
i need to be doing lots of reading on all this homeland security stuff, usa patriot act stuff, civil rights, bill of rights, etc.. but there's just so much to learn i'm not sure where to jump in. i decided to join the lane county bill of rights defense committee because i'm passionate about what our government is doing to slowly but surely dismantle the bill of rights, the constitution, the rest of the amendments, the very foundation on which this country was built but i need to get better versed on the issues, on the realities, on the facts. i'm going to help organize something for an event thats taking place on the 4th of july but i'm so un-well-versed i'm not sure how much help i can be. the issues and the knowledge that encompass this work for this one group is more than i could have ever imagined. and lane county is the leader in this state on this issue and so i want to be able to really contribute. its all quite overwhelming. but the advantage is that the woman who everyone seems to look to as the leader is incredibly welcoming, more welcoming than leaders of other lesser groups i've attempted to get involved with. she's forgiving of my ignorance and accepting of whatever it is i can contribute. i'm not sure what my point is. its just i have to be learning. but some reason i'm a lot more attracted to prodigal summer these days.
okay, i've got cat litter to clean out, xanax to take, bed to go into.
