My name is Joy.
I live in Maine.
I've never met an exclamation mark I didn't like.
Sometimes I host impromptu dance-offs in the middle of the street.

Catching Elephant is a theme by Andy Taylor
First Casualty of the Obama Administration
Last night while on Facebook, I noticed that I was unable to access the account of a close friend. A friend in whose wedding I served as a bridesmaid. Thinking it was a Facebook glitch, I e-mailed her this morning to check in.
She wrote back saying that due to things that were said during the election, she thought it best to remove me as a friend.
I’ll be the first to say that my passions were ignited during the election season, but despite the fact that Facebook “friends” made utterly racists comments in their status messages I never defriended them. While their opinions may differ from mine and I might be disgusted by their tone and content, I do see it as part of their rights to say what they think.
So, my progressive values and belief in Barack Obama cost me a friend. But, in the end, I think I got a whole lot more.
