With the execution of a British citizen today, China has proven to me yet again that I will be quite happy living out my life without having visited the barbaric country. True, I am not a "drug-trafficker" but the family of said British citizen claimed he was bi-polar and that such a condition should have been taken into consideration. I, for one, agree with this. Yet China decided that it did not have enough evidence to prove the claim. How convenient for them. Of course, they've never been accused of respecting human rights now, have they?
Didyaknow that apparently even tax evasion can result in execution in China? WTF? Can you imagine how much that would reduce the U.S. population? YIKES. However, I feel quite certain that I do not wish to see our country step back into the dark ages, thankyouverymuch.
I do not usually write on political subjects, but this one sickened me. I will now step off my very-short soapbox and resume your regularly scheduled starrling silliness.

Catching Up, Winding Down
It's been more than two years since I first began this blog. I have vowed and vowed to keep it updated but I, the Queen of Procrastination, refuse to abdicate said title. However, it has come to me, not in a dream or a vision, but in a virtual smack in the face, that I don't have any one place where I can say what's on my mind or in my life. This revelation, if we must call it that, was surprising...nay, shocking to me. I have feelings, inspirations, opinions, desires just like everyone else in this world. I should have a home for all of that. So... this is my home. My nest. Starrling's Nest. *brushes off the doormat* Welcome all. In the kitchen you'll find warm grog and snackies. Please partake and follow me as I vomit (yes, I mean it) words onto these pages. My words are rough. I do not use "draft" but just type as I think. Also, I usually do not edit before publishing. OMG, some of you might say, but hey, it's my nest and I can regurgitate as I wish. *sticks tongue out and says "nyah"*
