Spring is Here!

To all of my Liberal Hotness:

Yes, the equinox has passed, and finally (!) we are experiencing something resembling nice weather.  Though not getting to see my Hawaiian roommate behave like a 5 year-old let loose in a candy store everytime it snows will

be slightly disappointing, things like sunshine and warmth will fill the void, I'm sure.  So, go forth!  Be merry!  Show off those hot legs of yours by wearing shorts!  (And if the weather reverts to its former state, feel free to continue wearing shorts and living in denial!)

What do radical art activists, human rights advocates, and cultural activists have in common? You can meet them!  Contact Betsy (elizabeth.anne.williams@yale.edu) if you'd like to join us on Friday in NYC; we've still got a few spots left.  You'll have fun - I promise!

Miscellany:

The Belief-O-Matic

http://www.beliefnet.com/story/76/story_7665_1.html

This site will tell you what religion (if any) you practice (or ought to be practicing).  Apparently either a Unitarian Universalism, Liberal Quakers, or a Secular Humanism most closely match my faith...

"The leaves are rotting."  "Roooooootting!"  Oh, how I wish I had a Helium of my own.

Look!  Something relevant!  Poke around the website a bit and come prepared to the YPU!

Hot IPster of the Week:

Jennifer Fitzgerald

Hawaii is warm and tropical.  Things from Hawaii count as hotness.  Jennifer is from Hawaii, ergo, she is hotness.

(C'mon, I had to include my suitemate as a hot IPster at some point, right?  I wouldn't want her shaving off my eyebrows while I sleep, after all...)

The Lib Bitch:

I hate it when people promise to send me bitches and then don't.  It's so disappointing.

The Final Thought:

"If we value the pursuit of knowledge, we must be free to follow wherever that search may lead us.  The free mind is no barking dog to be tethered on a 1-foot chain."
