I know this is early

I started working on my Christmas List for this year. It's on amazon, as always. Here's the button!

My Amazon.com Wish List

I'm asking for pretty much everything anyone would need for an apartment. Considering my current money/life situation, I'm thinking December would be around the time i'd be able to move, and it would really help to have a lot of the things I've put so far. I have a lot of the stuff I'd need for a bathroom, so most things I've thought of have to do with a kitchen.

Oh, and as a waitress between Undergrad and Grad school, I definitely could use some money.

I guess I should also point out things I DON'T need:
Cookbooks (I have some, and recipes are all over the internet)
Anything beauty/cosmetic related
Clothes/Pajamas (I don't trust you to do this right)
Books (I have a lot to read already)

And, yes, I would like a keyboard. It doesn't have to be anything fancy, just enough to let me play some piano tunes. This list is subject to a LOT of change, since I started it so early. Let me know if you have any questions/suggestions.

Blah!

Since California's going to Obama no matter who I vote for, I might just write in Stephen Colbert.

COLBERT FOR PRESIDENT!

I'm Pro-Choice.

And by Pro-Choice, I mean, I believe everyone has the right to choose whether or not to have sex, protected or unprotected. After that, whatever happens, the choice has already been made.

I believe other stuff on the matter too. This statement doesn't necessarily reveal how I feel about the whole thing.

Please take a few minutes of your time...

Please head over to Oprah.com and check out the information on the PROTECT Our Children Act. I don't usually go super activist about things, but I think this particular issue is VERY important.

The issue is that American law enforcement doesn't have enough funding to go after the sexual predators that they are able to locate through various technologies. Only about 2% of predators whose illicit activities are tracked can actually be taken in by police because of a lack of funding. Senate Bill 1783 - the PROTECT our Children Act - will authorize the allocation of over $320 million to catching and stopping sexual predators from hurting more children.

I was particularly inspired to help out with this issue after hearing the answer given by a sexual predator when asked why he targeted such small children (even infants). He said that it was because "they couldn't vocalize what was being done to them and that it was wrong". Well, I can vocalize that what's happening is wrong, and I can't think of a better use of my voice or a few minutes to contact our senators than to take even as few as one of these predators away from the children they harm. Please take even the smallest bit of your time to consider supporting this cause. Thanks.
