happiness and cheer.

Based on feedback regarding my new look here at loafe, it seems like it is ace! I’m ace! Did ya hear that? I AM ACE.

Ace! As in swell. As in Ace. like, ace ace baby, too cold.

okay, I’ll stop.

So you know, I sort of miss coming up with a quotation. And it’s only been one day. How lame is that.

Tonight is my company’s annual christmas party. I love annual christmas parties. Mostly, I love the free alcohol.

I generally like this time of year. I like the smells and the colors and the warmness and egg nog and presents and lights and everything so sparkly, etc. But there are definite things I hate about this time of year, mainly: the lexus and kay jewelers commercials. I complain about them every year, because every year they make me want to claw my eyes out and shove hot pokers into my ears. And not just to myself, but everyone around me as well.

Regarding my links over there at the right, I thought I’d say a few words about why I chose each one. Be aware that these links will change as my mood sees fit...

daypop.com: This site is great for news stories, top articles, etc. and to see what is hot hot hot on the Internet. It’s all in list format to boot! And as you all know, I like my web sites like I like my sex: no-frills and easy access. Daypop fits the bill all the way.

crazy stephanie a: Stephanie is one cool chick. I don’t really know her very well, because she’s a stranger and lives in Phoenix and stuff, but she’s swell and she’s funny and she’s talented and she’s goofy and I like all those things in a person. She has a lot of creativity and a lot of motivation and she is the person maybe I wish I could be, if I weren’t so incredibly lazy. She would be my friend if we lived in the same city, I am sure of it. It isn’t just some delusional thought of mine, shut up.

picture phones = FUN: My friend Dave runs this site. Dave is so silly and fun and he makes me laugh and his pictures and captions make me laugh and he’s smart and kinda crazy. He helps me with things that I don’t understand and he plays a mean game of Scrabble. He makes a lot of money. He says things that most people are afraid to say. And he can be such a jerk. What more could a girl want?

flip flop flyin’: I would say this site is my Internet crush. My site loves this site. It is very creative and original and the guy who handles it seems like such a top notch guy. Ace in fact! ACE! Okay, so if you’re wondering where all this “ace” talk is coming from, I saw it in one of my favorite movies, 28 Days Later, and ever since then I kept thinking of how I could start incorporating that into my vocabulary without sounding like a dumbass. Then I realized that would never happen. I’m just a stupid american, so the dumbass part is pretty much inevitable. So I’ve given myself the okay to ace away.

sea of humanity: You know, I am not exactly sure how I stumbled on to this site. I think I was doing a search for something somewhere. Anyway, I took a few moments to read through it. It made me laugh and I could sense a lot of anger and hostility. But not in a “I’m such a macho badass, I’m gonna kick your motherscratching ass, don’t you look at my girlfriend like that” way but in a christa way, you know, with all the hating and the seething, but very quietly, on the inside.

older loafe entries: And older loafe entries are duh…older loafe entries. I figured I should put a link to those, for the people who love to go back and reread all my wonderful words (that should be all of you). For super duper way old loafe entries, visit this archive.

AOL had this pole on their website. These are the results. I was shocked to see the results. I feel old.

How should the morning-after pill be sold?
Over the counter 66%
Only with a prescription 19%

Do you consider using the morning-after pill to be abortion?

Yes 26%

This pole is a result of the FDA considering next week whether or not to make the morning after pill available over the counter. Isn't this kinda dangerous? Makes me nervous. Maybe I am just getting old.

Ahhh.. You have been reading the Sea. Don't think we haven't noticed.

Pernicious

ah ha! pernicious! That's how I found his site! I did a search on the word "pernicious" (because it's a great word and I love it ever so much) and the results led me to sea of humanity.

yay! we figured it out!

also: I think that the morning-after pill should be sold over the counter. There are enough unwanted children in this world. When it comes to sex, we cannot rely on people's sense of responsiblity. If we make it easily accessible and readily available, we can save ourselves a lot of trouble down the road.
