I was asked about my leg wound. I got this ankle wound from scratching myself and then it grew when it got infected. It's no infection now though, just a clean wound that grows VERY slowly. It doesn't help that I'm often cold on my feet. A doctor said I had to get a skin transplant, as I have had the wound since October. If so, they will take some skin, possibly from my hip and put it onto the wound. I decided to wait and see if it can heal by itself, because it has decreased by inches every week. It was the size of a coin and now it's just slightly smaller. The doctors and nurses have such different opinions, on how to deal with it and they disagree and complain on each other. Perhaps my wound would have healed faster, if they had treated it differently. I have tight bandages on my leg and it's a bit weird to me, because I though a wound needed air to grow. Anyway, I hope it's going to heal by itself and that I won't have to do a skin transplant. Enough about that.
The other day I tried the new Yahoo Messenger. I used to have the old one, but then switched to MSN Messenger, because most people seem to use MSN most of all. Trying the new Yahoo Messenger convinced me to quit using MSN. I have had all these problems with MSN, I'm just sick and tired of it. First of all, I was never able to do an automatic log in on MSN and that caused me to forget, or just not bother to log into it at all. The fact that you cant send messages to people who are offline on MSN, have always made be strongly dislike it. Yahoo Messenger are the best messenger at the moment, that's for sure. Because I have tried them all, the web nerd that I am. Before the ads, ICQ used to be the best. AOL are mostly for Americans. There are no ads in Yahoo Messenger, you get the LAUNCH radio player integrated into it and you can send messages to offline people aswell. The list just goes on. So I'm not on MSN anymore and I'm not going to be on it, until they make it a better program. You can find me on Yahoo Messenger then. Look into my contact page, if you want to add me.
Let me quote something from CNN: Militants "Wanted Bush Re-Elected"
(CNN) A French journalist held hostage in Iraq for four months says his captors wanted U.S. President George W. Bush re-elected because it would help promote their cause.
Speaking by telephone from Vichy, France on Friday, Malbrunot quoted his captors as saying Bush's re-election "would improve our ability to fight."
"We vote for Bush because Bush help us a lot by intervening in Afghanistan. So, from that point we could spread all over the world and we are now in 60 countries," Malbrunot cited one of the militants as saying on October 15, two weeks before Bush defeated Democrat John Kerry. Malbrunot, 41, quoted the same militant as saying: "Our main targets are Saudi Arabia and Egypt. And because of Bush, if he is re-elected, we are sure that American soldiers will remain in Iraq for years."
An important Amnesty International case:
"Leyla M", who has a mental age of eight, is reportedly facing imminent
execution for "morality-related" offences arising from her being forced into
prostitution as a child. According to a Tehran newspaper report of 28 November 2004,
she was sentenced to death by a court in the central Iranian city of Arak while
she was 18, and the sentence has now been passed to the Supreme Court for
confirmation".
Petitions against death penalty are here:
Leyla M Petition (Norwegian text)
Death Penalty In West Africa
Death Penalty In Japan
Europe & Central Asia
And last but not least, a letter to Bush. Because if a criminal can change and become a better man, then maybe a terrorist leader can take lesson as well. Why not give him hell? That's what pens are for. I try it out sometimes.
I said I was going to talk about gay rights and personal stuff, not today though. I have a film I want to see.
