Greetings from Starry Messenger.

[Starry Messenger]

It's an overly glamorous name that I picked on the night of Obama's Inauguration (after a few glasses of adult beverage), people who know me off-DU can tell you I'm about as glamorous as a thumb, but oh well. Starry I am, and Starry I will be.

I am an artist, teacher and Commie. I am Host of Socialist Progressives, and a co-Host in Education and Feminism and Diversity.

I have made many long-term friendships here and learned so much, it would be impossible to list them all. That sounds a bit treacly, but it is true!

If you are new to DU, here is a song to get you warmed up:

1. Hi Starry! Cool video! n/t

8. Thank you!

Thank god I had a moment of lucidity the night I picked it, since I almost went with the original Latin, which would have been a mouthful (and pretentious, lol). Plus we would have had two Sids on DU.
