"You won't get pregnant if you're standing up."

I'm 99% sure the person who told me this was joking.

I really, really hope so. ._.

Quit thinking of yourself as ugly.  You aren't.  You already have a beautiful body.

If you're very strongly on either side of the ZOMG GAY political stuffs, go away and hide now.

TL;DR: I HATE EVERYTHING. EVERY PARTISAN WHO TALKS ABOUT THEIR OPPOSITE BEING BITTER AND ALONE IS WRONG. I'M MORE BITTER AND ALONE THAN ANY OF THEM, AND I'M A MODERATE-THINGY.

What Kind of Reader Are You? Quiz Created on GoToQuiz

The facts that I would be rather worried and angry about an airline losing my luggage more than I'd be concerned about what there is to read, that I have not read all of a certain few sets of books but maybe a select few from each of them, and that I have never read or thought about reading at a post office apparently counts against me or something.

But I am now going to very pointedly read Going Postal when I'm waiting in line at the post office.

Really, I almost can't believe I hadn't thought of that one before.

Forget the quality of the writing. Forget the misogyny and abusive boyfriend.  Forget the lack of plot and characterization.  Forget the moments of bwah, WTF, and lulz.

THIS. This, right here, is why I do not like Twilight.

I sincerely apologize for spamming your friends page like I have in the past half hour or whatever.

At least I make up for the loooong times between my posts, you've gotta admit.

In honor of Ocarina of Time's recent 10th anniversary, I've been replaying it, and man oh man, does nothing like playing an early 3-D game make it how obvious the graphics have improved.

Plots have gotten a bit better, too, but that was the transference from arcade to home games. And with plot, of course, character depth - in ways other than a 3rd dimension, mind.

But Ocarina's still a darn good game, better than most ones come out nowadays.

But the best ever modern gaming invention is the Wii's virtual console. Old-school Nintendo for $5 or $8. It's awesome - I get to relive the gaming childhood I never had because my parents couldn't afford game consoles in the 90's!

Humans are widely considered the most advanced species on the planet.

I'd like to point out that this idea is only held among other humans.

Saying please.

DEAR SANTA CAN I PLEASE HAVE A POCKET WATCH KTHXBAI.

Everyone who's decided to turn their answer to this question into political commentary. I love how the slightly larger half of the population of the country that actually bothered to vote was stupid for voting for voting for Obama while at the same time the smaller half was stupid for voting for McCain. Love it.

Also love how my group doing bipartisanship for my gov't class's special interest groups project had one person in it. You guessed it, me.

(Oh, and to everyone who think that McCain choosing Palin as running mate was bad: it wasn't. McCain was too far left for most conservatives, it's a wonder that he managed to be Republican nominee. He's actually done a thing or two or several that've hurt his party during his career as Senator and thus is even less favored by Republicans in general. Palin was a reassurance to the Republican party; she was what won him money and support from the far right, which, like every other extremist, always winds up having a huge effect. Thus Palin was a rather strategic choice, and besides that, her record tended to go along with what McCain liked and wanted in a running mate. It was media coverage of Palin - not every bit of media out there, naturally, bias goes every which way, but a few big and particularly left-leaning news networks and newspapers - that did the most damage. Of course, leaning more to the right during the general election was also a bad move, since moderate appeals to most of the country, and that made the decision bad to: but it was not absolutely stupid. There were a lot, a LOT of other people McCain could have chosen that would have been less wise and worse.*)

Politics was much nicer when the runner-up to a Presidential election became VP.

*But I'm not an expert and could be wrong. [/disclaimer]

WHY. D:


Srsly, guys, I just went to look in the fridge for the nifty little boxes of grape juice that I swear we had two dozen of in there yesterday and they're all GONE. Woe and tragedy!

Also, I need more expressive/humorous icons. But I am le tired.

I feel sorry for the Palin family.

I actually do know the answer to this, but I've been bound to the most severe of oaths not to say. Yes, I *could* tell you, but then I would have to kill you and drink Kool-Aid, and today just simply is not a good day to die.

I went and stole this from lady_akatari because I was bored and stuff. Blah.

you are lightcyan #E0FFFF

Your dominant hues are green and blue. You're smart and you know it, and want to use your power to help people and relate to others. Even though you tend to battle with yourself, you solve other people's conflicts well. Your saturation level is very low - you have better things to do than jump headfirst into every little project. You make sure your actions are going to really accomplish something before you start because you hate wasting energy making everyone else think you're working. Your outlook on life is very bright. You are sunny and optimistic about life and others find it very encouraging, but remember to tone it down if you sense irritation.

...Was what I got, but this and that all make perfect sense, too.

Thank you for wasting your life, goodbye.

The Moderate Party. (Or possibly the United Party. Or the American Party. IDK.)

Our color will either be white - the flag color not claimed by a major political party, and symbolic of peace - or violet, a mix of red and blue. And our symbol shall be a penguin. Or a turtle. Or a platypus.

We gladly represent the in-between views that no longer exist in party politics. The middle 30% or whatever it is that sits on the fence and stares at the Democrats and Republicans in despair. As some odd mix of bipartisan and nonpartisan (don't ask how that's possible), our goal will be to fill the widening gap between the two major parties, and otherwise allow people who registered as Independents because they didn't want to be affiliated with either party to vote in the primaries - the Moderate (or United, or American, or IDK) Primaries.

And our purpose? Kick the Republicans and Democrats out on their bums and bring the politics of the country back to focus on the country itself, rather than this nasty side focus of beating the other parties into the dust.

...I'll work on rephrasing that so it doesn't sound quite so hypocritical later. >_>

Look, is it really hard to say, "Yeah, we all screwed up real bad 'cause we're selfish bastards who care more about ourselves, our own money, and our own positions of power than the people of this country.  Sorry."

And, no, suddenly pretending that you care and are going to put a bandaid on it, kiss it, and make it all better will not fly, because anyone who knows a smidgeon about how this stuff works *knows* that you're only doing that 'cause it's an election year.  And more important than anything else, anything, is that you get into power - or at least your party does, which will naturally help you.

Hmm.

I wonder if it's too late to start lookin' into third-party candidates to vote for?  Oh, sure, yeah yeah, they'll never win, blah blah blah, two party system, but if we all forgot about it, faced the facts that both candidates suck in different ways, realized that the Democrats and Republicans BOTH need to be slapped, HARD, and in the face with the cold smelly fish of reality that JUST because they're the two major powers in the country DOESN'T mean that we, the citizens, have to let them fight with each other and step over us in the process all the time.  Because if neither one is doing their job, then that means we need to get rid of both and get someone new in there to do the job for 'em, aye?

And, hey.  As long as there're kitties, we can't be too badly off, eh?

"No. Really?

...

Dang. Good thing I don't read detective stories, then.

I'd do this, just 'cause it'd be fun, but we've been doing so much about metaphors and stuff in poetry class that I'm tapped out by now. Mhm.

Oh yeah, and it's past 10:30, but whoever cared about trivial things like going to bed on time? Really."

...Wrote Penguin, pounding every syllable into her keyboard like a child pounds plastic moles with their mallet in a Whack-a-Mole game, knowing that they are just this close to getting a high score and winning the sweet treasure upon the prize-shelf, sparkling like a Smeyer vampire frolicking in the sunlight with a shimmering beaut' of a MarySue in tow. Verily, she wrote as though she were chipping the letters into stone, just as Moist had commented about William de Worde at the top of page 143 of Making Money (the American edition, anyway), because truthfully she still suffers from the sad affliction of stealing good words and phrases from other authors, that strange chronic illness that has blighted her writings since the dawn of time early in her unillustrious career - although she must be thankful, as she is nowhere near as stricken with this disease as Christopher Paolini - and knows that she must stop soonest, afore her work is published (after, of course, actually being written - as unlikely to happen as the sudden cryogenically solidified state of affairs in that deep-below kingdom of Pluto) and her painful theft of words and use of cliches is made public. And - egads! what is this? She seems to be infected with the plight of clauses of undue length, i.e., "run-on sentences," with an added symptom prompting her to portray prose like a vampirely sparkling amethyst, a painted in a vivid blend of red and blue. O, woe! All that is left to hope for is that the effects wear off presently, lest the brains of the wretched and pitiful readers of this journal begin to act as a marshmallow microwavéd, and duly burst into a startling array of smithereens, which would be rather unfortunate and also quite irritant to the nerve endings.

"Oh, shut up," Penguin caused, with little mental effort on her part, these soundwaves to form the pattern of syllables such as to form words of the English language with particular meaning and inflection; to exist merely by the fluctuation of a combination of nitrogen, oxygen, carbon dioxide, water vapor, and a variety of other molecules forming the atmosphere to pass over her vocal chords and create the illusion of sound.  Illusion?  Indeed!  For if a tree falls in a forest - or perhaps a penguin rants at her computer screen - and no one is around to hear it, would it, in fact, make a sound? said.

It was the best of times, it wast the worst of times, it was the age of reason, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of Light, it was the season of Darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair, are you still reading this, we had everything before us, we had nothing before us, there's someone behind you, about to kill you, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair, did you notice that I wrote that bit twice, and what about summer and fall, anyway, we were all going direct to Heaven, we were all going direct the other way, because apparently you couldn't use the word Hell then, of even the term deep-below kingdom of Pluto - in short, the period was so far like the present period, because the world never seems to change, does it, that some of its noisiest authorities insisted on its being received, for good or for evil, in the superlative degree of comparison only.

There is nothing more to be said,
Ding-dong! the Witch is dead!

Obviously I'm not, because if I were truly independent, I wouldn't be depending on a prompt to write journals.

(Oh man, I think I'm going to start a trend of mocking these things... I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I just always see them on the homepage when I get on to check other people's journals, and they beg - they beg - me to answer them! You can't resist them when they're begging!)

Also it's funny to read all the other people's answers, particularly those that think Mexican Independence Day is on May 5. Wikipedia will set you straight! (Also it taught me that the Spanish word for liberal and conservative are, respectively, liberales and conservadores. This is obviously the coolest thing ever and I will now use these words instead of their English counterparts.
