Dear Ayatollah Khamenei,
It's when you do things like this that I wonder if you care about your people. You're the 'supreme leader' of a guardian council, commander of the military and former president I really would like to believe you're looking out for your people but when you do things like this it's just obvious you aren't. You've said in public you agree with crazy pants Mahmoud Ahmadinejad on most things (at least you currently don't want Iran to go Nuclear but that could change tomorrow. Let your people protest. When this many people feel their voice hasn't been heard having the right to gather to make sure you're heard is necessary. If you're so big into Islam (as you claim to me Mr. Supreme Leader Cleric) give your people a fair election one with all the right monitors in place and one where every vote gets counted. If you need some help ask Al Gore, he knows all about how every vote counts... or at least how every vote should count.
It would also be a good idea if you let the forign press cover these rallies. Maybe you wouldn't feel pressure from countries like Great Britain if we could see the rallies. We follow the trending iran election topics on twitter but there's no one telling us your peoples side.
LET YOUR PEOPLE HAVE A VOICE.
Sincearely,
A concerned American Girl with a soap box.

Procrastination & Vacation
Procrastination I love you. I slept in till noon for the first time in oh... a month maybe? It's been awhile with work and life and family I usually never get to sleep in. It felt amazing and I need to have that happen more often.
When I woke up I told myself I'd be heading out at 1pm to do all my errands. Obviously this didn't happen. It's now 1:40p and I haven't made any attempt to get done any of the pre-errand things I need to do so I pushed the time back to 3pm. That's plenty of time to hit the bank, the post office and the craft store before they all close right? I think so I doubt it'll take more than 10 mins at the back even if I have to do weird money transfer things. Or more than 20 at the post office to pack a flat rate box. Then I can mill about the craft store till I find what I'm looking for.
So the random money transfer thing is for my vacation in Aug. Yes, I'm actually going! I've been doing my best to talk myself out of it for the last few weeks but the flights are far to cheap for me to keep putting it off. For under $600 I can fly to Scotlant for the Fringe Festival again this year. That's right I'm going alone to an uber huge performance art festival. I'm going to love it so don't say I'm crazy for doing this by myself. I'll be going from the 19th - 24th so yay for mid week travel and low rates. I'm booking my flight pretty much as soon as I post this so maybe I should stop procrastinating right?
Right!
