"my mom is gaun"
*rofl* This is a note I wrote for my mother on 1 February 1984. Back then I was still in preschool and my parents were not yet divorced, and each day after school my dad would pick me up and watch me at his office for an hour or so, at which point my mom would pick me up on her way home from work (my dad worked longer hours than my mom). On the day I wrote this note, I was at my dad's office and he had just yelled at me for some reason (I forget what it was), and I ended up crying and saying that I wanted to go home with Mommy NOW - and of course that just upset him more. :p Anyway, he left the room after yelling at me, and I was so sad that I wrote this note for my mom while I was waiting for her to pick me up. *rofl* The note was kept in random drawers for years, but my mom had it framed around the time I got out of high school. This picture is scanned at twice the size of the actual note (the note was written on a small piece of light blue tissue paper, and is really flimsy and transparent).

Utah Phillips' Stories, Songs, and Poems
Utah Phillips is a Korean War vet and a "radical folkie." He is an awesome storyteller, poet, and activist, and the two links above lead to transcriptions of some of his oral works. I transcribed them from Utah's two collaborative CDs with Ani DiFranco, a folk-punk guitarist/poet/activist; they're called The Past Didn't Go Anywhere (1996) and Fellow Workers (1999), and if you can't find them in music stores they can be ordered through Ani's label, Righteous Babe Records, at 1-800-ON-HER-OWN. But anyway, do click the two links and read the text above - even if my transcription can't capture the hilarious and moving moments of his performances the way the two CDs can, you'll see why Utah is just so darn cool. :p (I also recorded a few quotes Utah made during his radio show, which is broadcast on a few public stations across the nation, including KPFA 94.1 FM in the San Francisco Bay Area.)

Miscellaneous Quotes
Quotes I couldn't place anywhere else. Most of them are related to critical thinking, but there are a bunch of other random and/or funny quotes as well.

The Keirsey Temperament Sorter at Keirsey.Com
According to the Temperament Sorter, I'm an iNFp - the four letters stand for "introverted iNtuitive Feeling perceiving." Keirsey.Com says that people are divided into four groups: Idealists, Rationals, Artisans, and Guardians (each of these groups have four subgroups of their own). People who are NF (iNtuitive and Feeling) are Idealists, and never make up more than ten percent of the population. There are four subgroups of Idealists (iNFp, eNFp, eNFj, and iNFj); iNFp's are called the "Healer Idealists" and they make up less than one percent of the population (here's another iNFp link). I mention this cause most of my friends turn out to be NF's. ;>
