I had to censor someone on this journal today. Free speech is a priority for me, and I'd never censor anyone for having an opinion I don't like . . .  but don't out the victim of a sex crime. That's not protected speech, it's hate.

This storm's gonna be fun! We're definitely going down to Morro Rock on Wed. afternoon and again on Thursday at the height of the storm.

Storms starting tomorrow forecast to drop 6-16 inches of rain over the next few days. Average annual rainfall in this area is only 15 inches!

Does anyone know if I can set ping.fm to automatically post to myspace as a blog post or facebook as a note so I get more characters? I hate filling my eljay f-list with multiple posts.

Dear Universe full of Christians; I am not Christian. This is not because I see your "truth" and obstinately refuse to believe. The beliefs I have are the ones that most sensibly fit the evidence I have seen over my lifetime. I don't need the bible to tell me right from wrong. I have my own values.

My weight is down to about 118 lbs, lower than it's been since I was 13 years old. This vomiting problem needs to get better soon.

Teenagers aren't dumb. They want medicine that works, and it doesn't take an adult to figure out cannabis is incredibly effective for "depression, stress and anxiety, . . . ADHD, physical pain, and sleeplessness." http://ping.fm/aj2a6
