| Introduction | I'm a godless Yank queer with delusions of being a great author. I obsess over ethics, law, civil liberties, and science, and the harmful effects on all of them by the religious majority. \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ "Talking to Reed is like punching a brick wall, except it occasionally hits back." - Trey Jackson //////////////////// "Talking to Reed is like playing with a Rubik’s cube, you think you’re close to a solution and a red square appears from the left side. It’s the one that says 'you’re screwed'." - LiteraryDeadKittens \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ "It's Reed and his reckless quasimoralism that pisses me off." - Nicholas A. Poole ///////////////////// My kitten's name is Darwin Cheshire Braden, and he chews dead skin off the inside of my nostrils to wake me up most mornings. |

When you hesitate before hitting snooze on your alarm clock, are you being lazy?
I never hesitate to hit snooze on my alarm clock. I'm always awake right on time--and sometimes up a little early--to catch my alarm in time to shut it up.
