Ironically, I also came up with ENTP (which is an inventor.) I notice that lawyer is not on either list. I wonder where lawyer is...(I imagine that I would need to be an ESTJ, since being organized would be kind of logical for a lawyer...)

Here I sit in class. It’s a Tuesday morning, it’s 8:30 on a Tuesday morning. And I am sitting in class watching a video of the oral arguments of a corporate case. Thankfully, I went and got coffee, so I will be functional the whole time.

I haven’t said much in a while (again). I guess I either haven’t had much to say, or I’ve just been busy. Prolly a little of both. I was home for the holidays, which was great. I had lots of turkey (I looooove turkey) and went 5 am shopping with my dad. Black Friday shopping is awesome, since I got to slam a cart into a jerk’s stomach (he was blocking the aisle, and being a jerk, so I shut him up.) And I got to see little Best Buy employees acting like bouncers, pulling line cutters out of line, as well as smacking down a guy who was taking every “on sale” game so he could “sort them out” in line (making it so no one else could have the games.) Gotta love the crowd mentality. It brings out the beast in some people (not me though, I am aggressive without the crowd!) ;-)


And now I am back, in the land that the sun forgot (the grey has begun…) And I go back to watching lawyers sit in the inquisition that is appellate court. Woo!

I feel like I should say something at this juncture in my week. The problem is, I am rather at a loss for words (ha ha to all of you who are thinking "Katrina, at a loss for words? NEVER.") I know stuff has happened (like Nolan and Heather both turning 25!) but not much I feel like writing about. Huh. Weird. Maybe tomorrow...

Again I hurry to wait

The wheels of justice grind to a halt again. My superior court case, which has made a number of appearances on this page, has been postponed. Again. This time because the judge was not in today. No reason why she would not be in, but she was not to be in, and thus we get bumped. And we get bumped to an undetermined time in the future. The annoying thing about this is that the court did not call until 4 pm on Monday (when we were to be in court on Tuesday.) Thus I spent all day Friday, part of my weekend and most of Monday working on my oral arguments, before the court finally called. I was, needless to say, mildly grumpy when my case got bumped. I am learning, though, that the life of a litigator is just that, a long string of hurrying to wait. Is this really the life for me?

Job job job. I need a job. Mostly because I don't want to think about it any more. I want to think about skiing and reading and christmas. I don't want to ponder where I will be living, or how exactly I am going to pay for BarBri. Mostly, I just want to feel loved. (yes, I know that is sad, but I HATE getting rejection letters, and I have quite a stack...)

Song of the day: American Idiot by Greenday

So I was listening to the radio today and the first single off Greenday's newest album - American Idiot - was on. I've heard this song a number of times before, but I was actually listening to the lyrics and I have to say: MAN DO I LOVE GREENDAY. Sometimes you just hear a song and you go "Yes, that is exactly what I was thinking." And, having always been a Greenday fan, I must say thank you guys, for saying some of the stuff many of us are thinking.

American Idiot
By Greenday

Don't wanna be an American idiot.
Don't want a nation under the new mania.
And can you hear the sound of hysteria?
The subliminal mindfuck America.

Welcome to a new kind of tension.
All across the alienation.
Everything isn't meant to be okay.
Television dreams of tomorrow.
We're not the ones who're meant to follow.
For that's enough to argue.

Well maybe I'm the faggot America.
I'm not a part of a redneck agenda.
Now everybody do the propaganda.
And sing along in the age of paranoia.

Welcome to a new kind of tension.
All across the alienation.
Everything isn't meant to be okay.
Television dreams of tomorrow.
We're not the ones who're meant to follow.
For that's enough to argue.

Don't wanna be an American idiot.
One nation controlled by the media.
Information age of hysteria.
It's calling out to idiot America.

Welcome to a new kind of tension.
All across the alienation.
Everything isn't meant to be okay.
Television dreams of tomorrow.
We're not the ones who're meant to follow.
For that's enough to argue.

So I've been told it is odd that I have not had anything to say here about the election. I guess the reason for that is that I don't quite understand how this country is quite so divided. I stayed up the night of the election, and I watched the results coming up. And it seemed so odd. After all, despite the great big swaths of red that coated the map, the actual results were rather close. Approx. 51% to 49%. Which, of course, reminds me of a quote by Thomas Jefferson "A democracy is nothing more than mob rule, where fifty-one percent of the people may take away the rights of the other forty-nine."

And never have I felt this way more then I do right now. I am living in a country where some of people hate so much that they are willing to put that hate into state and possibly the national constitution. I see this country divided in so many ways, and I don't think I fully understand why. Why does my view seem so logical to me, and their's so logical to them? Especially since we often have exactly opposite view points?

While I tend to be "blue", as are a lot of my friends, this year I voted red in a lot of my elections. Do others do this? Do they look at the people running for office, or do they just see the world in red and blue, and run with their party?

I guess I just worry that in all the mud slinging, in all the rhetoric, we might have lost sight of what the election is all about: Getting a group of people together to lead this country and represent us to the world. Instead, we squabble, we fight, and in the end, are we really representing everyone? And if the answer is no, we should sit down, and really think about why.

The election is over, and Dubya is back for 4 more years. Here's to the prospect of a stronger economy, an end to war in Iraq, and the hope that the Supreme Court will continue to protect our rights to the best of it's ability (and to the hope that Scalia doesn't become Chief Justice...)

Ok, I know I turn pink when I...well, pretty much when I do anything. Hot - I turn pink. Cold - I turn pink. But did ANYONE notice that I turn SCARLET when I am running around? Is this a new thing? Have I ALWAYS turned scarlet??? And if so, WHY didn't someone mention it? Geez, I saw a pic of myself after a hard game of volleyball, and I am sooooooo red. I fear for the blood vessels in my face! (Deb, they can't, like, burst or something, right?)
