I'm driving up to my parent's place today (I'm already running late) and I'll be up there for the US election - though we're only having an hour of TV coverage!! D: I'm voting that someone gets their webcam and points it at their TV for me, LOLOL XDDD I dunno if I'm going to get pissed if Obama or McCain wins though... LOL. I suspect I'd be too angry if McCain won to get sloshed... XDDDD
In other news, I got a new sketchbook and I had that "blank page syndrome", LOL. I did an AWESOME Remus/Tonks picture in the end. But now I'm suffering it again, hahaha XDDDD I don't think it'll go away until I draw something super bad XDDDD
Telstra is fucking me around atm. I wanted to boost up my internet, so I rang them a few weeks ago after my usage dropped to dial-up coz I'd gone over 12GB ^^; and they said they'd up it. But it still hasn't happened. And my bill is now 10 days late. UGH. So I rang them and talked to two different people both of whom were about as useful as a chocolate teapot. The woman said that she'd make a note that I'd tried to get in contact with them about it if there were any fees or anything. Sigh. Why don't I trust them? LOL.
I WATCHED SEASON THREE OF SUPERNATURAL!! And now I'm on like episode 5 of season 4 :D YAY CAUGHT UP :D
And finally...
From The West Wing:
Vinick: You're not an unthinking Liberal. Are you?
Santos: I know you like to use that word, Liberal, as if it were a crime.
Vinick: I'm sorry I shouldn't have used that word, I know Democrats think Liberal is a bad word. So bad you had to change it, didn't you? What do you call yourselves now? Progressives? Is that it?
Santos: It's true. Republicans have tried to turn Liberal into a bad word. Well, Liberals ended slavery in this country.
Vinick: A Republican president ended slavery.
Santos: Yes, a Liberal Republican, Senator. What happened to them? They got run out of your Party. What did Liberals do that was so offensive to the Liberal Party? I'll tell you what they did. Liberals got women the right to vote. Liberals got African-Americans the right to vote. Liberals created social security and lifted millions of elderly people out of poverty. Liberals ended segregation. Liberals passed the Civil Rights Act, the Voting Rights Act, Liberals created Medicare. Liberals passed the Clean Air Act, the Clean Water Act.
What did Conservatives do? They opposed every single one of those things. Every one.
So when you try to hurl that label at my feet, Liberal, as if it were something to be ashamed of, something dirty, something to run away from, it won't work, Senator. Because I will pick up that label, and I will wear it as a badge of honour.
Peace,
