working on my conspiracy theory:

You may recall that the US is slowly but inevitably sliding towards military rule. K.A. just linked to this (stunning photo, that), which was another click in the head - even peaceful and positive civil disobedience can be used as an excuse to create a junta.

(If I were a real writer I'd be using reality as a novel plot right now.)

As would I. :s

What would you like for your birthday?

A better-paying job (if I had one of those, I'd be able to work a mere five days a week and be able to afford to give people presents at appropriate times). Oh, and for me and M and the puppies to move to somewhere more liveable than GA. Oh, and an immigration system that isn't massively broken.

...srsly, aside from a chance to get decent shampoo that costs less than $10 a bar (Lush stuff is cheaper in the UK than the US, as their US supplies are all made in Canada; Ting has been trying to persuade me to quit using shampoo, period, and that would probably be a good idea, as I must spend at least $60 a year on the stuff), the only thing I much want & don't have is a working MP3 player (small, with a USB charger because they're universal; and I once tried to write something about Ada having a total breakdown on the Circle Line while holding an empty 80gig ipod. Too much information, too many blank pages). The 2gig one I'd been using (which had been passed on by its original owner because it wasn't working very well) finally packed up in November. I never used it that often - just nightshifts and long walks - so I didn't miss it enough to prioritise replacing it, but it is a thing that I do not have and kinda want one of.

When my utterly shallow but very well connected accountant internet acquaintance from Atlanta finds herself a new job, I was planning on asking her, with your permission, if her firm could find room for a tax entrant. :s No use now as she's planning to leave her current firm. Will see what I can do otherwise.

:s I have no real qualifications (though I will be getting some pronto once the IRS creates universal qualifications for tax preparers this summer), and Atlanta-proper is potentially a stretch for me (doable for a decent job - one can take buses from here to the north end of the metro system and get into town from there). When I get jobhunting again it'll be mostly Marietta I'll be looking at. But thank you for thinking of me. <3
