...can anyone suggest something from one of those lists that I can cut? The uni list needs to be left alone, since those are courses and I can't drop courses. The rest of it, I could probably par something away. Oh, and if anyone knows any more political organizations for me to join, drop me a comment please. I'm always willing to keep fighting the 'good' fight.
And on a side note,![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
pikachumaniac has an interesting idea about starting up a community dedicated to writing/signing letters to the Bush Administration whenever they mess up (which is probably going to be fairly often, all things considered) and the preview for it can be found here. That's not the community itself, just what she's thinking of putting as the blurb for it. If you're interested or think that you'd have something to contribute, go comment there. The more people interested, the better.
Okay, I need to run off to class now. Oh yeah, I made two new friends IRL today - Sue and Lily. Lily actually lives on my floor, is a slasher/yaoi fangirl and demanded to know where I was for the first semester once we started discussing Switchfoot, Flogging Molly and Wilde. Anyone who likes Wilde gets an automatic a-okay on my list. I think that I'm also convertingevilcourtney to the wonders of Wilde/Keats slash (Wilde slash is the only type of RPS slash that I'll tolerate) so the world seems to be going pretty well except for the fact that I'm starting to wonder when exactly do I get time to breathe.
Drabble Status: Three left out of eleven.
Edit: I made a new friend!nefthoron who is going to write me a psychoshipping drabble and a Wolfgang/Vimes drabble in exchange for two Kaiba icons. *nods*
