1. i hate corporate sports and the corruption of sport but....i really like baseball so i wont be boycotting that.
2. i hate corporate food farms and the cruelty to animals that is inherent in the consumption of meat but...i like meat so i wont be boycotting that either.
3. i really hate the united states and stand in unity with the war resisters that have given up their lives to come to canada but...i wont be boycotting america because i really love my little trips to new york.
4. i really hate what climate change is doing to our planet and i support greenpeace and all the others who put their lives at risk to protest the oil sands and the destruction of the arctic but...i wont be giving up my car or my plane trips or my living in suburban sprawl because i really really hate being inconveinanted and i love to travel.
seriously you really need to think about just how little you sacrifice for your beliefs.
m: I think perhaps you posted this in the wrong place. Would you like me to delete it for you?
L: I thought of it because it's my favourite Shakespearean sonnet (and one of the few poems in life that has truly spoken to me - I would totally get the final couplet engraved in a wedding ring if it would fit), and I'm always coming up with reimaginings and reinterpretations of things that speak to me. It's not that the sonnet is part of the script of the scenario, it's that the scenario is an interpretation of the sonnet. The fangirl isn't reciting Shakespeare to her idol, she's pouring her heart out to him, perhaps as he carelessly signs another interminable autograph, counting the minutes until he can get back to his hotel room and put up his feet and have a beer, and the sonnet represents her emotions.

Why 29? I'm curious what made you choose that one.

Beautiful. That's cool about reimagining and reinterpreting, in general.
