    hello. i'm new. that's all. please don't use that word. the one that rhymes with 'booby'. i hate that word!
    a little about me.. i'm "ultra-liberal".. agnostic.. i don't know, i'm just repeating my profile.
    i watched the democratic convention last night and felt a little hope of getting W out of power.
    i also felt unappreciated by my boyfriend.
    i've recently been to Germany for five weeks.
    the end.

    Hi Amazo,

    Welcome. I was impressed with Carter's speech. It's amazing what you can get away with saying when you say it in a soft voice. That guy is a rare bird in politics. I heard that Clinton's speech was really good, too, but I didn't hear it myself.

    I lived in St Paul for a few years. What a great town. people are so nice.

    So yeah, welcome (newbie).

    Oh come on...you saw that coming.

    All of it. Met him once, too. He was really drunk. I was so starstruck, though, that I couldn't think of anything to say. All I could force out was, "I'm a big fan." So lame.

    I had just seen him speak. It was so cool. He reached in his wallet and pulled out his ACLU membership card. Said, "everyone in this room should go out and join the ACLU". I know what you mean, though. He was the first writer that I really connected with. I think it was the first time I realized that I wasn't the only person who saw so much absurdity in the world. But he also taught me to laugh at it. :D

    For what it's worth, I'm jealous too because you live in MN. My dad lives in St. Paul. It's so nice up there. So much water. So much wildlife. I'm an aspiring wildlife photographer, but there's nothing good to shoot in Ohio, except in the fall. I'd love to get up there with a canoe and a camera.

    I know what you're talking about, but alas! I have only seen pictures. I actually was going to head up there for the 10,000 lakes festival, but I hit a little snag financially.

    So overall...I saw KV in OH, you live in MN. I think you win.;)
