bluinkalchemist:YEAR IN REVIEW: Take the first sentence (or two) from the first post of each month of 2007. That's your year in review.
January - All is quiet.
February - So, Boston was locked up tighter yesterday than a random Pakistani wedding attendant at Gitmo.
March - Ann Coulter, it's so good to have you back. Smoove B has missed your near-skeletal frame, baby.
April - So, in a move that left my head spinning, Devils GM Lou "Pwnz You" Lamorello fired head coach Claude Julien with three games left in a 100+ point season after winning 4 of their last 5 games.
May - So, I was waiting for
victoria_fusion to get home the other day, and I stepped out on the porch to sit in the nice air.June - Seriously, if you like hockey, these finals are not dissapointing.
July - Hey, we're thinking about hosting a Live Earth house party on July 7th.
August - Ok, so my work decided to kaibosh LiveJournal in the filter.
September - Looks like it's time for me to write that tell-all book about that devil-woman left me in the cold after we swore we'd be together for eternity.
October - To all the Finns, Swedes, Danes, and Nordmenn on my flist (you know who you are), Merry Leif Erikson Day!
November - On Monday, I start a new job as a web developer for IQnection, a web development studio in Doylestown.
December - Oh, yeah, A.J. Feeley is the bomb. He should be the starter FOREVER.
And there you have it.

| You're 80% Irish |
 Congratulations, you're a shining example of an Irish lass (or lad). There's hardly anyone more Irish than you! |
Who'd've thunk it?
So, Saturday is Saint Pat's Day, the day we celebrate all things Drunk and Irish, with a hat tip to some dead guy who hated snakes or something. It's Guinness Day, folks! To honor the booze of the gods and the surly folks who craft it,
victoria_fusion and I are going into the heart of Philadelphia to find us a few Irish pubs where we will sing, dance, and drink ourselves into Gaelic Oblivion.Who's with us?! WHO WANTS TO PARTY?!

So, the "blah blah looks like..." meme is back. Fools! I did this over a year ago!

victoria_fusion!Once you've been tagged, you have to write a blog with 6 facts about yourself. In the end you need to choose 6 people to be tagged and list their names.
Here are my facts:
- I have three fears. One is rational, two are irrational.
- The rational fear is needles and flying, stinging insects.
- The first irrational fear is heights. Not because I'm afraid of falling off of them, but because I'm afraid that I might jump off of them. This fear is triggered even if I see a high angle perspective from the top of a building on TV. Even in enclosed buldings, I have an irrational fear that I might break a window and fling myself out. This typically kicks in after 8-10 stories. That being said, I have no problem looking out the window of a plane. I know I can't fit through that window (even though at 50,000 feet, if the window went away, I'd fit throught it if I liked it or not).
- The second irrational fear is water that I don't know where the bottom is. The thought of floating in the middle of the ocean terrifies me. Not because I might drown, but because of what unknown horrors might rise from the depths beneath me. Like I said, completely irrational. This fear has actually affected travel plans. I'm very skittish about getting on a boat, and a cruise is right out.
- I love the word "chittering", even though it brings to mind tiny, red-eyed, many-fanged horrors that certainly lurked in the basement
when I was youngwhenever the lights are out. Changing that lamp fixture yesterday sure was fun when I had to go into the basement in the dark. - I actually spent time looking for the six least frequent posters on my flist to tag. Why? Because a) they likely won't see this and b) chances are, everyone else on my flist has already been tagged.

3.) My friends page is called _____ because _____.
4.) My username is ____ because _____.
5.) My default userpic is _____ because_____.
1. My journal is called Beyond the Pale because that's where I go.
2. My subtitle is When you get to the stick, make a left because it's like a road map.
3. My friends page is called Notes from the Resistance because it's kitschy.
4. My username is pbagosy because that's my first inital and last name.
5. My default userpic is always a picture of me, because I want people to know who they're dealing with. Currently, it's a picture of me all wild-eyed with the caption 'Pinko Commie Bastard'.

| Abortion? | Is necessary to ensure the health of women. |
| Death Penalty? | I have a long and complex answer that boils down to "I'm against it" |
| Prostitution? | Legalize it, regulate it, and make it safe. People are going to pay hookers for sex. Keeping it illegal is just hurting the hookers. |
| Alcohol? | Yes, please |
| Marijuana? | It's more harmful as an illegal substance than it would be were it legalized. |
| Other drugs? | Are definately a problem. I prefer treatment over punishment, though |
| Gay marriage? | Were I gay and in love, I'd be living in Saskatchewan right now. |
| Illegal immigrants? | We need a better border control system. |
| Smoking? | It's dumb, and I quit. |
| Drunk driving? | It's like playing Russian Roulette, except you're pointing the gun at a crowd of people. |
| Cloning? | Is dangerous territory |
| Racism? | Is the sign of a low IQ. |
| Premarital sex? | Pre-marital, marital and post-marital sex are all ok in my book. I've already had two of the three, and boy, was it fun. The third, however, isn't likely to happen. |
| Religion? | Organized religions are scary. That's why I'm a practitioner of a disorganized religion. |
| The war in Iraq? | 100,000 dead Iraqis all agree: BAD IDEA. |
| Bush? | Is an illegitimate dictator. |
| Downloading music? | 95% of the stuff I've downloaded I've either heard repeatedly on the radio, own on CD, never actually listen to, or plan to buy. |
| The legal drinking age? | Should be lowered to 18. Either that, or the age for military eligibility should be raised to 21. |
| Porn? | pr0n r0x0r. |
| Suicide? | If we're talking about suicide from depression, then I feel it's preventable and tragic. If we're talking about terminal patients ending lives of suffering, I'm all for that. |

You Are Edward From "Edward Scissorhands." You are very shy and often misunderstood. Innocent, sweet, and artistic, you like to pass your days by daydreaming and expressing yourself through the arts. You are a truly unique individual. Unfortunately, you are quite lonely, and few people truly understand you. |

----[edit]-----
NOVEMBER 22nd! It's not the 'early 2004' I was promised, but IT'S RIGHT AROUND THE CORNER!
First single drops soon. It's called 'Vertigo', and the B-side is a cover of Neon Lights by Kraftwerk. That's freakin' awesome.
The new album is called 'How To Dismantle An Atomic Bomb'.
Well, they're doing the Atomic Bomb. Do they know where the dance comes from? Yes, they're doing the Atomic Bomb, they want you to sing along.
Say goodbye!

You are aware of who you are and you do not try to be someone else. You embrace yourself and other people notice this and embrace you as well. You get hugged. A lot.

You are a RPYT--Reserved Practical Physical Taker. This makes you a Stoic.
You are intelligent, rugged, disciplined and profound. Even if you're saddled with a desk job, you are starving for the outdoors. You are very slow to warm up to people, and people are slow to warm up to you, but once they know you they never forget you.
You do not get much attention from your target sex, and this means you can feel unloved or unwanted. This is not the case! You are just a hard nut to crack, and your social anxiety leaves you overlooked or outside the frame altogether. What is good for you is increments of low-interaction group activity, like sports or outdoor work. The person who can chop wood with you will melt your heart.
In a long term relationship, you are loving and devoted. You are calm in a conflict until your partner presses your buttons -- it's never the problem at hand that gets under your skin, but how your partner handles it. Don't take offense! Sometimes it's just the only way your partner knows how to express things.
You would never cheat, and your approach to sex is conventional and almost prudish. But sex for you is a release and a necessity of life, and you have a sense of entitlement about it that can be trouble. Make sure your partner is comfortable and satisfied -- by communicating both in and out of the bedroom -- and you will be more satisfied yourself.
You may take a lot of what your partner does for granted. Make a special effort to reward and validate him/her, and you will be repaid in spades.
You have nice legs.
