    <content type="html">&lt;i&gt;taken from "Incubus Dreams" by Laurell K. Hamilton&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sometimes you fight what you are, and sometimes you give into it. And some nights you just don't want to fight yourself anymore, so you pick someone else to fight.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I promised not to poke at things anymore. I promised not to break things if they were working. I promised not to stir up shit, if it didn't have to be stirred. I said a little prayer to help me keep those promises. Because, God knew, that the chances of me keeping any of those promises without divine intervention were slim to none.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What is love? What does it feel like in its rawest form? Lust, need, desire, and that aching want, as if the center of your body was carved out and hollow, and the only thing that can fill it is the person that you're touching.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What is love? Sometimes it's just letting yourself be who and what you are, and letting the person you're supposed to love be who and what he is, too.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There comes a point where you just love someone. Not because they're good, or bad, or anything really. You just love them. It doesn't mean you'll be together forever. It doesn't mean you won't hurt each other. It just means you love them. Sometimes in spite of who they are, and sometimes because of who they are And you know that they love you, sometimes because of who you are, and sometimes in spite of it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'd like to say that I had something equally salacious to say, or something sauve, but for the life of me, the only thing I could think to say, was, "okay". It wasn't sauve and debonair, but when you love someone, you don't always have to be sauve and debonair, sometimes you can just be yourself, and okay said at the right moment is sweeter than any poetry and can mean more to someone that all the pillow talk in the world.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"You  have the look of a fallen angel, ma petite. An angel does not stop being an angel merely because they fall from grace; their wings are not so easily taken."</content>

    <title>on military pay...</title>
    <published>2006-10-03T00:41:43Z</published>
    <updated>2006-10-03T00:41:43Z</updated>
    <content type="html">&lt;i&gt;a friend of mine posted this on her myspace and it pissed me off to read it. especially as the daughter, granddaughter, and wife of a future military man. it really makes me wonder why no one complains about the pay of sports stars, or movie stars, or musical artists...people who have much less important jobs than protecting our country....anyways, just read and you'll see what i mean...&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is an Airman's response to Cindy Williams' editorial piece in the&lt;br /&gt;Washington Times about MILITARY PAY, it should be printed in all&lt;br /&gt;newspapers across America. On Nov. 12, Ms Cindy Williams (from Laverne and Shirley TV show) wrote a piece for the Washington Times, denouncing the pay raise coming service members' way this year -- citing that the stated 13% wage was more than they deserve.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A young airman from Hill AFB responds to her article below. He ought&lt;br /&gt;to get a bonus for this.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Ms Williams:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I just had the pleasure of reading your column, "Our GIs earn enough"&lt;br /&gt;and I am a bit confused. Frankly, I'm wondering where this vaunted&lt;br /&gt;overpayment is going, because as far as I can tell, it disappears every month between DFAS (The Defense Finance and Accounting Service) and my bank account.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Checking my latest earnings statement I see that I make $1,117.80&lt;br /&gt;before taxes. After taxes, I take home $874.20. When I run that through the calculator, I come up with an annual salary of $13,413.60 before&lt;br /&gt;taxes, and $10,490.40, after.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I work in the Air Force Network Control Center where I am part of the&lt;br /&gt;team responsible for a 5,000 host computer network. I am involved with&lt;br /&gt;infrastructure segments, specifically with Cisco Systems equipment. A&lt;br /&gt;quick check under jobs for Network Technicians in the Washington, D.C. area reveals a position in my career field, requiring three years&lt;br /&gt;experience with my job. Amazingly, this job does NOT pay $13,413.60 a year. No, this job is being offered at $70,000 to $80,000 per annum... I'm sure you can draw the obvious conclusions.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Given the tenor of your column, I would assume that you NEVER had the&lt;br /&gt;pleasure of serving your country in our armed forces. Before you take&lt;br /&gt;it upon yourself to once more castigate congressional and DOD leadership&lt;br /&gt;for attempting to get the families in the military's lowest pay brackets&lt;br /&gt;off of WIC and food stamps, I suggest that you join a group of deploying&lt;br /&gt;soldiers headed for AFGHANISTAN; I leave the choice of service branch up to you.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Whatever choice you make, though, opt for the SIX month rotation: it&lt;br /&gt;will guarantee you the longest possible time away from your family and&lt;br /&gt;friends, thus giving you full "deployment experience." As your group prepares to board the plane, make sure to note the spouses and children who are saying good-bye to their loved ones. Also take care to note that several families are still unsure of how they'll be able to make ends meet while the primary breadwinner is gone -- obviously they've been squandering the "vast" piles of cash the government has been giving them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Try to deploy over a major holiday; Christmas and Thanksgiving are&lt;br /&gt;perennial favorites. And when you're actually over there, sitting in a&lt;br /&gt;foxhole, shivering against the cold desert night; and the flight&lt;br /&gt;sergeant tells you that there aren't enough people on shift to relieve you for&lt;br /&gt;chow, remember this: trade whatever MRE (meal-ready-to-eat) you manage to get for the tuna noodle casserole or cheese tortellini, and add Tabasco to everything. This gives some flavor. Talk to your loved ones as often as you are permitted; it won't nearly be long enough or often enough, but take what you can get and be thankful for it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You may have picked up on the fact that I disagree with most of the&lt;br /&gt;points you present in your opined piece. But, tomorrow from KABUL, I will defend to the death your right to say it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You see, I am an American fighting man, a guarantor of your First&lt;br /&gt;Amendment rights and every other right you cherish. On a daily basis, my brother and sister soldiers worldwide ensure that you and people like you can thumb your collecive nose at us, all on a salary that is nothing short of&lt;br /&gt;pitiful and under conditions that would make most people cringe. We&lt;br /&gt;hemorrhage our best and brightest into the private sector because we&lt;br /&gt;can't offer the stability and pay of civilian companies.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And you, Ms. Williams, have the gall to say that we make more than we&lt;br /&gt;deserve? Rubbish!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A1C Michael Bragg Hill AFB AFNCC</content>

    <content type="html">i can't believe that it's been one year already. on saturday doug and i celebrated our one year anniversary. we had the whole weekend to ourselves, with kaety at doug's parents house. we rented movies friday night (tristan + isolde, v for vendeta, and gone with the wind), got ice cream and booze, and had a good night just spending time together:) saturday night we went to bella notte for dinner and omg it was so good. i had carmellized scallops for my antipasta, and then crab stuffed whitefish for dinner. and tirimisu for desert. sooo good. when we got home i gave doug &lt;i&gt;my&lt;/i&gt; present which included candles and rose petals and a trip to victoria's secret earlier in the week (thanks eryn!), but i'll leave the rest of the evening to your imagination. it was really nice to just get to be together without any interuptions. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;but now it's over and done and we're back to everyday life. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;kaety is getting bigger every day, doug's joining the navy as soon as he looses some weight, and we're moving to brooklyn in a month. and i have therapy again this afternoon. &lt;s&gt;w00t&lt;/s&gt; well i'm hungry. so i'm gonna go eat something. and that is all.</content>

    <content type="html">i know it's been a while since i posted something real, so here it is. the latest developments. the short story.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;on the baby front:&lt;/b&gt; kaety is now almost 7 months old, officially over 17 lbs and has started standing up on her own. she pulls herself up onto everything and attempts to walk. although she isn't so good at that. at all. but she's really excited that she can stand by herself now. me, on the other hand, worries that she's gonna kill herself. we've already had some scary falls resulting in lots of bumps and tears. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;in regards to me and doug:&lt;/b&gt; things have gotten better lately as we had a long discussion and figured some things out. we're both being more considerate of each other (or at least i'd like to think i am, i know that he is), and though we still argue about things (as every couple does), we're getting back to where we used to be. i was really upset the other night (i'll spare you the boring details) and he pulled me into the living room, turned on music, and we slow danced for a good 15 minutes. it made me feel better:)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;on my relationship with God:&lt;/b&gt; well, you see, here's how it is. we've been having a lot of discussions lately and i've told him that i want to trust more and be the woman who he created me to be. and then he decides to call me on that. with something that i'm not entirely happy about. actually not at all. but i know that it's something i have to do. or rather, let douglas do. more on this once i actually know what's happening. just pray for my sanity.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;other random crap:&lt;/b&gt; the tree outside our house is swarming with thousands of wasps (fun! *sarcastic laugh*) and last night i saw 12 (count 'em) 12 bats flying above my house. i had never seen bats before except in the zoo (yes i know, keep your shocked gasps to yourself please), so it was quite a cool thing for me. and we finally have a bed frame. i've virtually been sleeping on the floor for years now and so this is exciting. and weird. i actually can't reach the floor with my feet when i'm sitting on the bed. but it has shelves and drawers to store stuff. it's pretty awesome.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;anywho...&lt;/i&gt; im gonna go get something to drink and read my book for a while before heading to bed. and that is all. goodnight.</content>

    <content type="html">Quotes from &lt;i&gt;A Ring of Endless Light&lt;br /&gt;By: Madeleine L'Engle&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"And you do things like go to church and saying grace and zuggy stuff like that. I don't know anybody else in the world who does all that. And the weird thing is that in spite of it all you're real." ~Zachary&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;@}~`~,~&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"You're sanity in an insane world. You're reason where there isn't any reason. Reason to live. I need -- Oh, I'm so damn confused." ~Zachary&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;@}~`~,~&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"If we knew each morning that there was going to be another morning,&lt;br /&gt;and on and on and on, we'd tend not to notice the sunrise, or hear the birds, or the waves rolling into shore. We'd tend not to treasure time with the people we love. Simply the awareness that our mortal lives had a beginning and will have an end enhanses the quality of our living. Perhaps it's even more intense when we know that the termination of the body is near, but it shouldn't be." ~Grandfather&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;@}~`~,~&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"We do have something very special going, Vicky. You know that. Our chemistry really works. Why don't you just let go and enjoy it?"&lt;br /&gt;"I do enjoy it, Zach, but--"&lt;br /&gt;"But me no buts. I can quote Shakespeare, too. I'm not as illiterate as you may think."&lt;br /&gt;Swiftly, Zachary turned himself so that he was kneeling, facing me. He was right about chemistry. Ours really fizzed. It fizzed too much.&lt;br /&gt;And I saw Adam's face, felt Adam's hands, not Zachary's. Why did Adam have to interlude? He hadn't called me; he'd made it quite clear that all I was to him was a child. And even if he wasn't jealous of my communicating with the dolphins, it wasn't bringing us any closer. Adam didn't want me, Zachary did. So why was he superimposing on Zachary, like a double negative? I did not like it, and I couldn't blot out his image.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;@}~`~,~&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"It was small comfort to know that I was more on Leo's mind than he on mine, because it gave me a vague feeling of responsibility toward him.&lt;br /&gt;Zachary was like being out in a storm. It was exciting and frightening at the same time.&lt;br /&gt;Adam represented the grownup world, the world of the lab, and Jeb Nutteley and Nora Zand and all the other scientists there. And Adam was swimming out to meet Basil, and sharing the loveliness of Norberta and Njord. But if I was more on Leo's mind than the on mine, the reverse was obviously true with Adam and me. I thought about Leo only when he called, or I was going out with him, or he was taking Zachary and me to or from the mainland. But Adam appeared in my mind without warning or reason.&lt;br /&gt;Did he ever think about me except in connection with the dolphins and his experiment? Not likely. Does it ever even out, what two people feel for each other? Or does one always care more?" ~Vicky&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;@}~`~,~&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And the best is last.....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;@}~`~,~&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Adam was at the beach ahead of me, standing on his head.&lt;br /&gt;I body-surfed in, stood up, shaking waster, and splashed in to meet him.&lt;br /&gt;He flipped over onto his feet and I looked at him wonderingly. "I called you --"&lt;br /&gt;"And I came," he said.&lt;br /&gt;I moved toward him and we were both caught and lifted in the light, and I felt his arms around me and he held me close.</content>

    <content type="html">well that's it, SLRF is officially done for the summer. 5 extremely long weekends, 8+ hours a day in the heat and humidity, smiling and playing and being happy with everyone despite real life. and now it's over. i must say that while i will miss everyone dearly, for they have become part of my family, for now i am relieved. i know that come saturday i won't know what to do with myself. and that i will miss being in garb (but who's to say i can't dress up at home?). but i definately need a break from the happy, carefree though-somewhat-evil Ellyllon whom i have been playing this past summer. &lt;br /&gt;im drinking a nightcap which i have come to love thanks to cameron, and missing the fun nights we had at sam's house playing fingers. (hey, how do lesbians have sex? lol). we're gonna party soon and that makes me happy:)&lt;br /&gt;it feels to me like camp is over and i shall miss my special "summer" friends until next year. and so i must say...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;to my cast: you have meant so much to me and i have come to love you all. &lt;br /&gt;erin: even though i give you alot of shit, you really do make a good queen:)&lt;br /&gt;matt: we're the most kickass pirates ever!&lt;br /&gt;jess: you have been a special encouragement to me and you have no idea how much that means. &lt;br /&gt;kendra: thanks for putting up with me though i know i wasn't very good at my job:)&lt;br /&gt;dave and paul: i've been rouge blades fans since the first time i saw a show, but it's made faire all that much better for me knowing that i am your friend. and paul, i love the monkey:) hehe&lt;br /&gt;KOI: those of you whom i got to be close to will always remain in my heart. i feel like i can learn a lot from you and i appreciate the friendship you have shown me.&lt;br /&gt;katie and steve: you guys are great and put up with so much from us that i don't know how you do it but i thank you that you do:)&lt;br /&gt;and finally my douglas: i know that things have been hard for us lately and i know that im not the easiest person to live with, but i thank you for your understanding, your patience, and your love for me. i love you so much.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;that's all i can say for now, except that i am looking forward to october when we audition for next year and the cycle begins again. live the magic:)</content>

    <content type="html">well here it is, my first update in only God knows how long. faire this weekend went well overall. obviously there were minor setbacks with things such as "visiting royality" and kids attacking erin's pony, along with the kid who was seriously convinced that he was a knight of the round table and went around attacking people including threating matt and i. it was great fun. i had my own personal reasons for not liking yesterday including but not limited to feeling sick all day and the fact that im not on meds and i need to be, but we're not going to go into those details here for it is neither the place nor the time. well i'm about to get ready and go over to megan's to hang out with her and kenny and go swimming, so i'm outa here. peace.</content>

    <content type="html">well the first weekend of SLRF is over and complete. i was terribly nervous friday but really it went ok. saturday we had a record number of people for opening day and for a faire that wasn't suposed to happen this year, that's amazing. we had a tv crew, i had my pictures taken by some media guy at the sponsor dinner, and yesterday at the drum jam josh, doug, and i had the guy from the kalamazoo gazette (? maybe it was battle creek..i can't remember...) taking pictures andd writing down our names. it was very cool.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;im really excited about the fact that we're making a difference in teh lives of the kids who come to see us. i've had the same little girls come up to me several times and want to show me the dance that erin and i taught them. and i mean yes i love to play dress up and walk around and be someone else, but we really are doing something worthwhile. we're supporting the american cancer society this year which i am so glad about since my grandpa just died from cancer.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;the soak-a-bloke drench-a-wench contest had been a lot of fun to run and we've gotten a lot of people to participate. the coolest thing though had to be yesterday afternoon during our jail scene we arrested josh and doug after erin was set free and then i got to have them tied up and they had to dance and sing for their freedom...needless to say, i let the audience help me decide if i should release them and they said no. so it was back into jail for the criminals. very cool:)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;erin had an asthma attack yesterday and then i almost passed out from my own lovely problems...yay so much fun. i am so sore though this morning. my feet are so bruised and swollen that i can barely walk adn my legs are burning, but i still wouldn't trade it for anything.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;so all that being said...faire runs for  4 more weekends (though doug and i won't be there this coming weekend) and the themes are as follows - july 15-16, celtic weekend; july 22-23, romance/corination; july 29-30, fantasy; august 5-6, pirates! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;so every one of you should come because its great fun. yesterday the powers that be told us that between the cast and KOI (knights of iron) we are disneyworld. how cool is that.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;and that's all for now folks.</content>

    <content type="html">i know, its been forever since i updated. well, here it is.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;kate is now 3 months old, and damn is she growing fast. see, i'll prove it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;birth weight: 7 lbs 5 oz&lt;br /&gt;weight today: 12 lbs 14 oz&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;birth length: 20 1/2 in&lt;br /&gt;length today: 24 inches&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;birth head circ: 13.75 inches&lt;br /&gt;head circ today: 15.75 inches &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;so basically she's long for her age but her head is average. so she's gonna be tall. lol. who knows. but really. she's rolling over like crazy (when i give her the opportunity) and gets really mad when she can't scoot around. she loves sitting up and gets mad now when we lay her down if she doesn't need to be. when we get our new pics developed i'll post one:)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;in other news, ashley and wendi are coming today, ash for the weekend and wen is staying with us for the next 2 weeks. so that should be fun.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;well i have errands to run, if i can get douglas to stop playing his video game.</content>
