Dammit! I keep forgetting to upload my picture to sorryeverybody.com. I had one originally, but then I had the idea for the other one, so I haven't uploaded it yet.

It's of my friend Chris and I crowded together into a very tiny closet with a sign that reads "World, We're incredibly sorry. -Gay America (who tried hard while being shoved back in the closet" and our free hands holding up the ASL for "sorry" and the international sign for peace.

The site makes me choke back sobs. Of frustration. And anger. I love that there's now apologiesaccepted.com. It's nice to see the response.

Thap photo sounds great! And yeah, I have to take the galleries in doses or I'll start crying, too. I just wish there was more I could do than pin a note to a Belgian flag and take a picture. :/

There's this one picture on apologiesaccepted.com of a Chinese girl that says 'Red China love Blue America'. That made me cry damnit!

There's a picture on SorryEverybody.com of two French kids, one white, one muslim, arms around each other's shoulders, that has the same effect on me. Sob.

(BTW, you on MSM?)

Me too! Sometimes I really need the reminder that there's cool, nice people in the world.

The problem is, though, that it's 51% of the 60% of the eligible population that voted. Thus, really, only about 30% of the country voted for Bush. More people abstained from voting than voted for either Kerry or Bush.

I want to make a picture that says "I did my part, I voted, but I want an apology from the 40% who did nothing."

You know, that's a good point. And now I wish I could amend my photo for AA.com to include that. Fuck.
