I also like books, Green Day, Shakespeare… oh, and I used to date a lot.  One thing I don’t like: religion.  I am an aspiring producer (among other things) - or at least was at one point. Since the economy has taken a turn for the worse and I was let go from my job (I have since found employment again!) I have started cultivating my other passions - which happen to include writing.  So, here I am!  I’m also on twitter.

&lt;p&gt;Yes, I see the irony in the fact that a borough named “Queens” single-handedly shot down gay marriage in New York.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Marriage equality failed today in the New York Senate after a years-long battle to bring the issue to a vote. The final tally: 24 YES, 38 NO. Among the surprises was a “no” voted from &lt;b&gt;Bronx Democrat Sen. Hiram Monserrate&lt;/b&gt;, who had previously been a vocal supporter. In October, Monserrate narrowly escaped a felony assault conviction for &lt;b&gt;slashing the face of his girlfriend&lt;/b&gt; with a broken glass. Monserrate’s NYC office: (718) 205-3881. His Albany office: (518) 455-2529.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;

&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Why is trash like this allowed in the senate?  I want to send him hate-mail really, really badly.  But that’s only counter-productive.&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://thatgirlallison.tumblr.com/post/266635667</link><guid>http://thatgirlallison.tumblr.com/post/266635667</guid><pubDate>Wed, 02 Dec 2009 15:42:36 -0500</pubDate></item><item><title>Ladies and gentlemen, your eight New York State Senate Democrats who voted against gay marriage.</title><description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://ohhleary.tumblr.com/post/266628233/ladies-and-gentlemen-your-eight-new-york-state-senate" target="_blank"&gt;ohhleary&lt;/a&gt;:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Virtually nothing fails on the Senate floor, but their colleagues asked for a floor vote so their ignorance could be documented.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.nysenate.gov/district/15" target="_blank"&gt;Sen. Joseph Addabbo Jr.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.nysenate.gov/district/48" target="_blank"&gt;Sen. Darrel Aubertine&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.nysenate.gov/district/32" target="_blank"&gt;Sen.

George Onorato&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.nysenate.gov/district/58" target="_blank"&gt;Sen. William Stachowski&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;You know what’s even more sickening? These aren’t DINOs representing backwoods districts in Upstate New York. &lt;i&gt;Six&lt;/i&gt; of these Senators represent districts within New York City’s five boroughs.&lt;/p&gt;
