TANJA, REBECCA, AND I ARE GOING TO NEW YORK! AND NO ONE CAN STOP US! MWAHAHA, MANHATTAN, HERE WE COME!
So who else is going? I’m going with my mom, so I don’t have to worry about staying in a group. I’d love to hook up with anyone else that’s going to be there! To quote Renata, “hopefully lunch or something! and then, sticking it to the man! rar.”
Teh w00t.
And now, a meme: (Ganked from Samlet)
1. Grab the book nearest to you, turn to page 18, find line 4. Write down what it says:

The last thing I saw on TV TV was the Oscars, but the last TV program I saw was the Smallville episode “Obsession” (3×14), yesterday.

HOLY COW, my watch says 9:46! *is freaked*

My friends list, where I found this meme.
9: What are you wearing?
Black long-sleeved t-shirt and my favourite jeans. No socks.

Yes, but I don’t remember it now. I remember remembering it when I woke up a couple times during the night. Er, the morning. At 9:30.

Just now, watching Superman. Too funny by half.

I don’t even want to think about it.

See 21a.
22: Would you ever consider living abroad?:

*squeaks* Fiction Alley is so awesome. *hearts Heidi or whoever wrote the bios* I just now noticed the Artist Page for the April Fool’s Day gag. Hah, I almost forgot Trump was a Penn grad! Oh, Wharton, the mockery will never cease.
Tuesday is the deadline for submissions to a student work art show. We’re allowed up to three submissions. Does anyone have any opinions regarding what I should submit? I’m currently leaning towards Destruction, Death, and Desire, but I’m open to any suggestions.
See my LJ post on the subject for a full list of other things I’m considering considering.
Thoughts?
*giggles uncontrollably* Even Aragorn parodies are Howard Dean! I’m reading Bored of the Rings to break up The Silmarillion, and to my great amusement, our idiotic future king Arrowroot had the following to sing:
“Against the True King Sorhed’s workin’
So play your cards close to your jerkin,
For fortune strums a mournful tune
For those whose campaigns peak too soon.”
Thank you, Harvard Lampoon, for making my 1AM.
Oh, and Rachel (friend-from-school Rachel B, not Roommate Rachel) has gotten me hooked on Smallville, and vows to get me addicted to Buffy and Angel this summer. I’d be afraid if she didn’t have such good taste!
Mmm, Clark sho pretty…
I hope everyone had a great April Fool’s Day! And let it be known that anyone that actually believed I would vote for Nader is a total goofball and a worthy subject of my mockery and scorn. *points and laughs* I don’t think I could ever talk about voting for Nader and wanting to get rid of Bush in the same sentence. Except just now, where I just did.
XD
Kait: Certainly! Just slap on a byline or something so people know it’s mine. Best of luck with the assignment! I’m curious as to what you come up with!
Rebecca: Maybe I can convince Mon next April Fools Day, or the April Fools Day after the sequel comes out. Or maybe just in a few months when she finished her job. I don’t want to impose! XD She’s going to be a busy girl, and we totally expect cookies.
And I hope everyone remembered/knew about National Embarrassed By My President Day! *dons “Who Would Jesus Bomb?” shirt and makes a brown ribbon out of an envelope and colored pencils*
The whole Useless Caucus thing has got me thinking. The political situation in America is getting me more and more depressed. No matter how I try, I just can’t find myself getting excited about John Kerry. That is why I have decided to pledge my support for Ralph Nader. There are a lot of people angry at him, but the 2000 election was hardly his fault. People discount him far too early. People say that a third party has no chance of being elected, but I seem to remember in my government class that the first time the newly-founded Republican third party ran a candidate, he was elected.
Nader has a lot of great ideas, some of them rather similar to Dean’s. He advocates universal health care and the restoration of the government to the people’s hands, rather than special interests. He favors a fairer tax bracket system, opposes media bias and media concentration, and wants a to restore a family farm-consumer agriculture policy. He understands the necessity to create more jobs and the workers’ needs for an employee bill of rights. He opposed the invasion and occupation of Iraq, and supports equal rights for same-sex couples. You can read more about his policies here.
I have great faith in the American people that they will see through Bush’s treachery and elect the man who can bring real change to America, Ralph Nader.
All hail President Gaiman!
