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.

Sunday, August 24
yeah, i am alive.
tuesday i went to see meda benjamin speak up in portland. she was absoultely wonderful. it was worth the 4 hours in the car and the lugging of all the tabling stuff for the lcbordc.
wednesday i headed to the doc to get a new drug. we're trying out a drug that works on norepinephrene (sp?) rather than seritonin. its an anti-adhd drug.
anyhow. thursday i did NOT go to greet georgie-boy in portland, instead i headed to a hearing of the rules committee of the state senate. our bill, sjm 7, was up.
friday i was back to salem. to finish lobbying the senate, to start working on the house. cause if we get this through the senate -- TOMMORROW -- we have to have the house primed and ready to send things through quickly. we also had a vote in senate rules, they voted 5-1 in favor of passing us on to the senate floor.
saturday, back to salem. i got pat farr, a republican from here in eugene, to sign on to our bill. we now have 5 confirmed republican votes in the house. we need 6, that is if all the democrats vote for us. we need to get more republicans. and we need to talk to the dems.
today. i got to sleep. yes, sleep. and rest. and rest some more. to the point that i have barely answered the phone. until now. its getting ready to time that i should be gathering up strength to head back tommorrow. i've got a couple of calls to make. i can't believe i am going back tommorrow. i cannot it. the whole time i'm there it is rather hellish. okay, thats a lie.. its just energy consuming. all energy consuming.
but, the feeling i felt after we got the vote in the rules committee.. and then when i got pat farr's signature... and tommorrow, if the goddess is with us and passes this through the senate i know it will be huge. my heart was beating hard during rules.. i can't even begin to imagine how its going to be tommorrow during the senate vote.
anyhow. i've been neglecting some people since i got back and started working on this. you know who you are. and i'm pretty sure you understand.
on that note, i'm outta here.
