My paid account expires in a little less than ten days. Bleh.

*giggle* In the past, every time I've mentioned this, someone buys me more time anonymously. I don't know if that trend will continue, but if it does, thank you in advance! If not, it's not a huge deal--I'll just have to figure out which icons I'll keep.

You scored as Green. </td> Socialist 92% Green 92% Democrat 83% Anarchism 83% Communism 50% Republican 8% Fascism 8% Nazi 0% What Political Party Do Your Beliefs Put You In? created with QuizFarm.com

This quiz entertains the bejezus out of me. Mostly because a good portion of the questions assume you already know the answer to the basic idea behind the meme, or have a background in political science.

I took Political Ideologies with singswithtrees on a total lark several years ago, with Mr. Sonnleitner, and it was the most goddamn useful (not to mention fascinating) class I ever took.

Also, judging by how the questions were worded, I'm not sure I agree with their definition of anarchism. Not all anarchists think violent revolution is the only way to overthrow capitalism. That's the problem with anarchism--almost anyone can lay claim to the name. Most anarchists I've met are anarcho-communists, or very sympathetic to them. Many have also been pretty close to being pacifists. Yeah, there's more info on that contentious discussion over here.

I just noticed the word "pacifist" has "fist" in it. For some reason that amuses the hell out of me.

I should find that political spectrum test and redo it and then post the link here. I'd love to see where my friends are on it. *dorky grin*

Bleh. Need to get ready for work.

Anyone think I'd make a good secondary-level social studies teacher? *giggle*

Here's the email I got from Tri-met. They responded fast. I may include it in my letter.

April,

I checked with our Finance Department and unfortunately we are not able to
issue a receipt for the purchases you made from the Ticket Vending Machine.
when this question has come up before the recommendation that is offered to
customers is to take a printed TRIMET material that shows the cost of a pass
or to access the TRIMET website that lists pass prices to show to the
employer. That along with presenting the past has been sufficient for other
customers in your situation. Finance also advises other customers to
purchase their pass from the TRIMET office in Pioneer Square or from one of
our outlet locations, Fred Meyer or Safeway if a receipt is needed for
reimbursement purposes.

Guess what? Nothing at Panda Express is vegetarian. It all has chicken broth in it. Even the steamed veggies.

That's so fucking stupid.

BTW, Pizza Schmizza's alredo sauce has chicken broth in it as well.

Le sigh. I call Deanna, and then I go to bed. All this stuff I was going to do tonight, and I didn't. But my head hurts, and I'm tired, and I'm still slightly nauseated. Yeay.
