At 2:06 a.m. Friday the Emergency Operations Center closed due to severe flooding.

In lieu of a regular post, seeing as my life is quite hectic right now, I thought I would post a few links to things I have been meaning to post about, some old, some newish.

Caring for Your Introvert: Yes, ladies and gentlemen, I am for the most part what one would call introverted. This is a good piece to read if you know any introverts and still an interesting read if you are one yourself. I don’t like the title of it though, I don’t think we need to be “cared for;” it would be better titled “Understanding Your Introvert,” or “How to Act (and Not to Act) Around Introverts.”

What Would Jesus Buy?: Trailer for a Morgan Spurlock (of “Supersize Me”) film on consumerism. I have not yet seen it, but looks very um…interesting. Check it out.

Super Mario Galaxy in Amsterdam: This site is not in English, but it’s the pictures that are great. It’s the celebration of the release of Super Mario Galaxy in Amsterdam. The first pic is awesome.

Bake a Book: Gizmodo post about book technology (yes BOOK technology) with thermo-reactive ink. Basically, the pages are blank until you bake the book in the oven, then words show up.

50 Years of Lego: So I missed posting about the birthday of the Lego brick, but here’s the timeline (also Gizmodo).

Polaroid to Nix Polaroids. What?: Yep, no more instant photos (aka Polaroids!) from Polaroid. Next thing we know Aunt Jemima will quit making syrup, rain will stop being wet, and we’ll here that the John Montagu (look him up if you must) never ate sandwiches.

Defend Your Coffee Habbit: I must have at least 2 cups of coffee every afternoon, if I do not you do not want to be around me. I’ve used each of these defenses at least once.

Bradley Hathaway Interview: A wonderful interview with Bradley Hathaway from HM Magazine. The best parts are what he says about love, both God’s love and romantic love. If you don’t know who Bradley Hathaway is, educate yourself, you won’t be disappointed.

And I’ll end with a quote:

“American movies have been using satire for years to take the edge off sex and violence. Occasionally, perhaps sex and violence should be treated with the seriousness they deserve.” – Roger Ebert

Well, I haven’t been feeling well. It’s hard to explain but my legs hurt all the time and I have what the doctor called “tremors” in my arm. I went straight to the doctor after school Wednesday, my doctor sent me to a neurologist, the neurologist talked to my doctor and they wanted to admit me to the hospital for testing, but I said I didn’t want that. The compromise is outpatient tests, so I’ve had a lot of blood drawn, yesterday I had an EEG, and today I’m having an MRI, but I won’t know anything from them until Monday.
I don’t want to miss too much school, I’m hoping to be able to go back Monday for one class but Tuesday I have 4 classes and it’s just really hard to sit still for very long (not that standing or moving is much better).

In other news, I wasn’t expecting Romney to drop out and I’m surprised (maybe even glad) at how well Huckabee is doing now. Should I speculate on who should team up together? McCain and Romney? No, they are at each other’s throats and aside from that I still don’t think they would make a good combination. Huckabee and Romney? I could live with that; it could work. McCain and Huckabee? This is my favorite combination, I would love to see them run together. What about Giuliani? I would only be in favor of Giuliani as VP if it was with someone very conservative, like Huckabee, McCain and Giuliani would be too left of right for me.

If/Whenever we really get that $800 $600 President Bush is handing out, what will mine go toward?

I posted this as a comment, but I felt the need to make it a post of its own as well.

Wow, all of a sudden 4 new comments on a post that’s 3 weeks old, and all from Ron Paul supporters. (I only approved 2 as the other 2 were just links telling me to “look at this,” if you aren’t a bait and switch don’t dress up like one).

First, don’t assume I’m not educating myself (reference: “No one can understand how his plan works by listening to a small sound bite.” What are you talking about?). Just because I’m leaning a different way than you doesn’t necessarily mean that I haven’t done the research or that I’m leaning the wrong way and I’m not going to tell you that you are either. From these last two posts I gather that both of you are making your decision based on your personal ideals which may be very different from mine.

Please, if you want to share your opinion on why you’re voting for a certain candidate, do so. Tell me why, tell me what your requirements are and how you believe he will fulfill them. Don’t tell me to research it, I already am.

Honestly, I have 2 days until I vote in the primary and I’m still uncertain who I’m going to vote for. FairTax is the main fault I find with Huckabee, because I don’t think it’s fair in the least. Doesn’t Paul support it as well?

To give a little more insight into how I choose who to vote for, I’ll say this: I don’t. I don’t choose who to vote for so much as I choose who not to vote for; I pick the lesser of the evils. Romney still has a chance to get my vote, if it weren’t for his stance on abortion (“against abortion except“), he would have it.

I welcome all opinions on this post, but please give specific support that is to the point.

Ah, I see now. I’ve been linked to by a Ron Paul advocate blog.
