looking for:
+ questions to answer on an "about" type page thing.
+ new name ideas. i am toying with the idea of re-naming the
eventual blog. because i don't think i'll ever get around to any of the
things that make it eventual. and i've been doing this since april, so the
eventual is kind of moot.
+ any design comments or whatnot. i generally use ie 5, so if
anything looks stupid or is difficult to read in another format please let
me know.
+ contact info is over on the right. my name is dawn and my
domain is gweep.net. an e-mail address is made up of name@domain. why do i
do this instead of making handy e-mail links? just trying to thwart the evil
spam-bots.

of course, people should be able to practice whatever religion they want.

political correctness descends to the point of ridiculousness. what will we

i was a little nervous, but i had to do it. the traffic wasn't too bad, and
there was no rain this time. i was ready. i was prepared to face the silly
fear of driving the exact spot again. so i did. there was a huge accident
there. it looked fairly serious. there were 2 fire trucks and an ambulance.
and i realized, i was pretty damn lucky.
