Okay, this is my journal so I just have to say it.  I hate politics with unbridled passion.  So one of my Facebook friends gets all in a tiff because I guess someone called her out on her political beliefs.  She wrote a post like 'with all these pictures of cats, why can't we talk about important things like politics?'  I just said I prefer to keep

I get more troll action from real life people on FB than I do LJ people. One set of friends attack me for every FB share which has to do with politics. Also, I'm pretty active politically, so when I do stuff (march or sign a petition) I share it on FB and ask people to sign too. And I get trolled. All the while these people are posting the bullshitestist poltical posts for their candidate.

Colonoscopies are scary. I need to get one also.

Republican or Democrat? I think I was born democrat (liberal, actually), but Romney impressed me last night. I'm still not sure who I'm voting for, actually but I'll be glad when it's over...

I'm a democrat. I don't watch the debates. They seem to trivialize the importance of the issues.

Here's one reason to vote for Obama

cuz this may be the only really important issue in this campaign!

Interesting link. Maybe I should pass it on to my Mom in response to her anti-Obama jokes - and that's what's annoying, they're just jokes. It's more like 'let's make fun of Obama' than talking about things that are really an issue.

Am I friends with you on Facebook? I'd like to see what you have to say. My real name is Erika Purtell.

I'm passionate about politics; HOWEVER, don't want to even deal with it with all my friends, etc. My sister was de-friended over the shit, it's STUPID.

Ohhhhh, I would love to read your novel!!!!!!

I haven't heard from you for a while, so I'm happy to!!! <3

I'm really passionate about spirituality - I'm just not good with confrontation or debating...so I stay a little tight lipped.

Anyway! Yes I am thinking of reviving my journal so I'm glad some people are still around. I'm planning to let people read my first three chapters soon - are you on Facebook? It's such an easy way to stay in touch and I could send you something to read. Yay!

Glad you're still here too!

agree
