And she's back

I have been scolded about not adding to my blog in months (who knew, I have a reader!). I have a good excuse, I got a real job! I have to actually get dressed and go into an office every day, but I get paid more than I did when I was working in my pajamas and bunny slippers, so ok.
Another job perk, as it turns out, I have actually run into a Democratic activist. In North Dakota. I'm still in shock. He is, of course, equally thrilled to find me, being kinda-sorta, just a little bit liberal. (ha) He even assures me there are more like me, lurking in the shadows and promises to call me when they decide to meet.

I have been thinking more about my current state of residence and its bizarre red/blue status. ND consistantly votes red for president (speaking of the pres. he is invading Fargo today to bore everyone with his SS privitization plans) but all 3 of our representatives in Washington are blue, and fairly effective I must say, considering they only respresent about 600,000 people. But come on, what is with us? Can't we make up our minds? Actually, I heard someone break it down recently and it makes sense. But ultimately it seems to be more acceptable to be outwardly conservative here.

Anyway, I don't really have a point today, sorry, just jumping back in and warming up.
