Oh god, you'll be the woman who let Blagojevich get off!
I mean, um, that's silly. No reason to worry.
Like any of that's enough to fight the Dark Master. Bator.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I've only been summoned twice, the first time (which wasn't until 2006, I went a long time without any summons at all) I just had to call in and get told I wasn't needed, and the second time was that recent time when I wasn't randomly selected. I figure it's because I used to move frequently and maybe I'll get more summonses now that I am more stationary.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
I once served three weeks on a trial.
It was AWESOME. I was working for the bitch from hell and got paid every single day of it. Awe. Some.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
summoned once in Manhattan, the month I moved to Queens, so I was no longer eligible to serve. Then called once in Queens, forgot and did not show, but was not called from the pool to even move to selection - Never called again in the next 7 years there. Was never called in New Mexico, or Texas. Would really like to be on a jury.

Ke$ha, however, makes me want to spork my eyes out.
I have loved Tik Tok since seeing the video of Matt Bomer and Tim DeKay doing the Wii dance challenge at ComicCon. Shut up, I can't help it!
Scrappy, ugh. Your poor friend.

Leie, you might be overthinking this. But I agree with Jesse. If you mention that this is what you are thinking, I bet you'll get dismissed.
holy shit. it's not even 9:00 and I'm tired.

Liese, I actually enjoyed it when I was on a jury for a week a while back. Granted, it was a civil suit and I hated my job so much at that point. So much! But don't stress: bring a book, take it as it comes, and be honest. I think it is easy to get caught up in hypothetical moral dilemmas (and I do sympathize on that front), but odds are that the reality will not be so fraught.
Also, as a certified hater of people, I liked everyone else on my jury. And the judge's clerk would give us candy, so there's that. (If you are put on a jury, you should ask for free candy. Just to see what happens.)

Tonight my dear sweet daughter sent my son a text, telling him to check out Taylor Swift's song Stay Beautiful. I may not be able to live with the boy now. He hates Country, but this is his new favorite song.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Right before the first F2F in Chicago, I was in the jury pool for the trial of a man who was accused of killing a woman he had hooked up with on the Internet and traveled across the country to meet him. Thankfully, he copped a plea before it went to trial, or I would have missed the F2F.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

I suppose it would be too much to ask for, but did you get an opportunity to say, "Oh good! Now I'll be able to travel cross country to meet up with people I've only met over the internet!"
