I've got mixed feelings about the bailout bill thing that didn't get passed in Congress. On one hand, I really do no want to give money to greedy men and women just so we can cover their asses because they wanted to stuff their pockets (isn't that what it essentially boils down to?). But at the same time, the way our economy is going has me very nervous. WaMu and Wachovia both declared bankruptcy. Those are major banking institutes. So many insurance companies are throwing in the towel. We've got big lenders asking the government to lend money to them to fix their mistakes.

Doesn't it seem like there is something wrong with this picture?

Hm?

Hmmmmm?

Yes, there is.

This isn't a republican problem; it's not a democrat problem. This is an us problem. The politicians...most of them are quite wealthy. If the economy goes bonkers, most of them have money to fall back on. Not us.

Hmmmm.....

I have a project in mind, but first, I need y'alls help. I'm trying to decide on a name for my NaNo novel, but everything I think of sounds really lame. Like, really lame. So could you help? Pleeeaaaase?? I've copypasta'd the synopsis (available online at my NaNoWriMo profile page) below.

Liz Rider is probably the most popular girl in her whole town. Everybody loves--how could they not? In addition to balancing school and friends, she saves the world in her spare time. But being a super hero isn't always easy when you've got nosy reporters breaking into your house to get the inside scoop, and super villains who want to dethrone you--forever.

Yeah...even the synopsis sounds lame. Buut~ it is going to be epic. Like, JALOPY BUNGALOW-type epic. And I want to do something before NaNo starts, but in order to do it, I need a TITLE.

Help?

Hey guys, I might get a tablet.

Perhaps.

Maybe.

Soon.

All because of this:

[D]on't take the "safe route." Sure, you could probably handle the world where you are and do just fine. But don't you want to do more than just handle it?

...

And really, it comes down to where you think you'll be happiest. Do you really think you'll be unhappy [...], or are you just afraid that you might be unhappy?

I hope it's okay that I put this here. I think as soon as I get home I'm going to print it out and keep a copy on every mirror I look into, inside my dash compartment in my truck, on my laptop, and EVERYWHERE. This girl...she's like a musical Gala Darling and this is why I love her!
