Can't believe I've made 800 posts in the three weeks I've been posting on DU. I need to get rid of my DU addiction.....tsk, tsk...:-)

1. Congratulations.
How is it that you got to 800 posts in three weeks, and this here now is just my 700th post since the war started?

(aargh! I'm in the 700 Club!)

2. Three weeks?
Amazing! Good for you.

I usually lurk during the day but don't post much since I'm working in a cube farm. Sigh.

I liked your Dean post earlier. I'm telling my family this year for Christmas I don't want gifts--I want donations to Dean's campaign. Hoping for a new President under the tree.

Keep up the good work!

I'm planning on doing the same thing also, just asking for a small donation of $100 to the Dean campaign from my family for Christmas.

19. How exactly did you find this place?
And what do you do when you're not on DU, posting 800 posts in a month.

:)

21. I found this place from a post in DailyKos
and I usually spend my time at the library doing my homework, and I like to sit in a coffeehouse in town and do people-watching. It's amazing how different a human face can be from other human faces---it's in the rise or the low of their eyebrows, the way their cheekbones are formed, etcetera.

Oh, and I usually go on a weekend jaunt to NYC once a month to catch an art exhibit at the Met and crash at my mom's place there.

What do YOU do when you're not on DU? :-)

25. well
I would do something similiar to what you do, except I don't really stare at people. You, being the ultra-hot woman that you are, can get away with that. Me, being the oogling, slobbering muffin of stud that I am, cannot.

I compete in slinkey competitions, nationally.

22. You're averaging 38-39 posts/day...you *sure* you're going to classes?
Just teasing, slink.

Have enjoyed your posts -- from the silly to the insightful (and not to mention the ones that require cold showers post-read.)

You're one of a kind. And that's a compliment.

:toast:

33. I'd like to be a lobbyist or a legal advocate for
the ACLU, NOW, or Planned Parenthood----that would be my dream job, to file lawsuits for those organizations to bring down laws like that partial birth abortion law.....
