Last night I watched a girl get murdered in my dreams in which I seemed to take incredible delight. She must’ve done something pretty horrible in order for me to cheer on her death like I did.

Typing this up is a bit challenging because I’m using Tom’s Crapple keyboard that came with the iMacs. We simply couldn’t get mine to work. Not even after Tom took the thing apart. It’s history. So using the Swagbuck money he’s accumulated, we’re getting an adapter so I can temporarily hook up an old keyboard to it and he can have this one back. This one’s too hard to type on with long nails because the keys are almost even with the board. So if I hit the edge of the key it doesn’t strike. With no nails, it’s a great keyboard. Just set up a little differently than I’m used to. When we go from poor to semi-poor I’ll get a new keyboard.

I did some more troubleshooting for the guy here. Some people are getting fed up enough with the tech issues that they’re leaving. I’ve thought of that too, but I always end up staying because of how simple the site is to use when it’s functioning properly. If I do leave it’s going to be to go to my own site where I have just as much writing freedom as I do here. I hate those sites that tell you to feel “free” to express yourself, then give you a long list of no-nos that you can’t write about. Wouldn’t it be easier for people to simply not read anything they weren’t interested in? If I do leave, though, it’s going to have to be really worth it in order for me to go changing all the links. Because MD is my main journal I have links on Facebook, MySpace and a zillion other places.

Eileen gave me a damn good idea for when we launch our site. She suggested offering to sell other people’s stories and keeping a percentage. This is definitely something worth considering.

Well, there’s nothing wrong with the motorcycle after all because we heard Jesse come and go on it a couple of times. I’m surprised he didn’t come down when Tom was out weeding. He worked until he ran out of line. We also ordered new line along with the adapter.

There’s actually some good news in the news today. Holy cow, right?! They’re not only going to vote on Tuesday so we can get our money next week, but they stopped the oil leak in the gulf, and Argentina legalized same-sex marriage. At least they can’t ban it like they do here. Religion and politics are the reasons the world is so messed up. Sure, you might have some druggie go on a shooting rampage that’s tripping on LSD, or some psycho that murders his whole family because he didn’t get his way that day, but religion and politics are very obviously the root cause of 80% of the world’s problems. Until people can live and let live, it will continue to be that way. That doesn’t mean that one should be allowed to shoot a person in the grocery store that they might think has a lousy hairstyle, but they shouldn’t be allowed to tell others how to live their lives either.
