Cops profiling illegal European immigrants!

Overall, this kind of amuses me.

whatsername: San Francisco Bay Area; I am a lot of things. A graduate student, a wife, a (mostly) White, cissexual, heterosexual, middle-class-raised feminist, a socialist libertarian (anarchist?), a hippie pagan geek and maybe a radical to some.

This is my official internet space to muse and consider, to share the things I have been working on and to make noise for social justice issues, particularly around the Bay. As I am in my final year of Grad school you might notice it's a bit quiet, but I'm still here!

For a more relaxed spot see: Rags'n'Bones and for quick hits sometimes at a high rate of speed find me on Twitter @thejadedhippy

Cameryn Moore: Phone Whore

whatsername

Thought I ran into you down on the street
Then it turned out to only be a dream
I made a point to burn all of the photographs
She went away and then I took a different path
I remember the face but I can't recall the name
Now I wonder how whatsername has been

Seems that she disappeared without a trace
Did she ever marry old what's his face?
I made a point to burn all of the photographs
She went away and then I took a different path
I remember the face but I can't recall the name
Now I wonder how whatsername has been

Remember, whatever
The regrets are useless
In my mind
She's in my head
I must confess
The regrets are useless
In my mind
She's in my head
From so long ago

And in the darkest night
If my memory serves me right
I'll never turn back time
Forgetting you, but not the time.
