I know, I'm failing at LJ right now, LOL. I have like a million comments to reply to and no time in which to do them!! D:

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.

Anyone else get freaked out when you watch TWW and then see that guy in Dexter? LOLOLOL XDDDD

Peace,
Rotae

Just a forewarning, this post is going to be going tv/politics to Avatar/Hook to art to tv/politics to politics to politics/avatars to Britishness... LOL XDDD

I love Toby Zeigler. Just sayin', LOL. I've only ever seen some random episodes of season 6 and 7 of The West Wing, so I'm totally squeeing over seeing all this new stuff :D I SO DIDN'T KNOW THAT MAKO WAS IN AN EPISODE!! LOLOL. This Japanese guy starts talking and I'm all, "ZOMG SEND IN RUF-FI-OOOOOOOOOO!!" LOLOLOL XDDDD

OKAY. ONTO ART!! :D I was kinda, uhm, overwhelmed by the response to my last post ^^; LOL. It remind me of my Mum, she LOOOOVES my portraits, but doesn't particularly think my cartoons are anything special.

It's interesting. For me, portraits are really kinda boring ^^; LOL. I mean, it's just spatial awareness, basically. You're just copying something that you're looking at. I mean, I realise it takes some skill, but once you get your spatial awareness down, and your fear of shading goes, it's just... not very interesting? LOLOL XDDDD

I find the art by buttfacemakani and cambryn and reallycorking and glockgal etc, SO AMAZING, because they have their own STYLE. And it's THEIRS. And they OWN it. UGH. Those guys just make me SO JEALOUS, LOL, because they're just so CONFIDENT with it, and CAREFREE and able to just... SCRIBBLE and make amazing pieces of art!

Whereas for me, it's because of my portraits that I'm so... constrained! That I'm never confident in just being free with it. Ugh. I dunno. Maybe I should just do portraits and be done with it, LOLOL. XDDD ANYWAY. RANDOM THOUGHTS OVER. Time for some CRACK!ARRRRRRRRRRRT!!

Meet my hogwarts_elite contest entry (that won me 1st place! WOOO!! GO TEAM TONKS!!), in which we had to cross HP with a fairytale... CINDERHARRY!

I know. You're all absolutely TERRIFIED of Dudley and Vernon. It's okay. I know. My mind is a scary, scary place XDDDDD HAHAHAHA. LOL. I so need to rent out Cinderella 3. ANYWAY. Yeah. I think it's pretty self-explanatory XDDDDD I'm insane! There you go XD

"People need hope, but they trust fear." - Heroes.

Damnit, how appropriate is that in politics? LOL. I'm so proud that my country didn't bend to Howard's scare tactics in the last election.

Btw, it might be just me... but I wouldn't want my leader (or indeed second in command) to be a Joe Blow average kinda person.

I want my leader to be, quite honestly, FUCKING STUPENDOUS.

( Click for not so much a political rant as an 'I don't want to rant, rant', LOL )

AND NOW. Onto Obama icons, LOLOLOLOL XDDD I made these yesterday along with the one in this post *points* :D RAWWWWWRRRR!! Obama's security detail? Dinosaurs courtesy of Team Tonks, LOLOL XD Yes, it IS an actual photo, I didn't add the Tyrannosaurus-Rex into it XD All pictures are from the community, obama_daily!



I love that woman with the Obama symbol, LOL XDDD She's SOOOO CUTE <3 And dude, how hot is Obamabananarama?! I mean... smart, funny, politically centre/left? That's hot enough without him ACTUALLY being that hot too XDDDDD

Believe it or not, this post WAS going to be "I totally love Toby Zeigler" and leave it at that... ^^; LOL. DAMN YOU, WEST WING. You put IDEAS into my head!! LOLOL XDDDD

Okay. So, I'm currently watching a political drama and eating Jam Fancies while drinking English Breakfast tea from a charity mug designed by Ewan McGregor. I'm so British right now... LOLOL XDDD

Peace,
Rotae

So, I needed a new address book, and while walking around SUPER EXCITING Hobart (no, srsly, someone got stabbed to death in Target today, :| no, seriously 0.o) with comedychick, her husband and son, I found an AWESOME ONE. It looks like this:


IZ SO BRILL, Y/Y?! :D

Here's a good way to test if you're right or left brained btw :D

Yes, all the questions are relevant, LOLOL.

SO, as you may have been able to tell from my really subtle mention above there, I has a comedychick!! YAYYYYY!! :D They haven't frozen from the cold yet, either! YAY! :D LOL. Doyle is so cute omfg, srsly. We played peek-a-boo today and he became obsessed with my zipper bracelet (just like 6kittykat6!! LOLOL, BTW KATE, THEY'RE BACK AT DIVA!! You want me to get you one?) and the completely satisfying noise it makes when I jingle it about XDDD And Dom and Jeremy are delightful! Like you're all so shocked, LOLOL :D

I've been watching The West Wing again recently. Sigh. I heart it so much. The only problem is that it's not REAL, DAMNIT! LOLOL XDDD BUT. The upcoming US election is looking scarily like season 6 of TWW 0.o *cue spooky music* So I'm happy XD DAMN YOU, ALAN ALDA!! XDDDDD

Btw, Team Tonks? PWNING in the voting OH YEAH. DINOSAURS AND TONKS: DEAD, BUT STILL FUCKING AWESOME :D XDDDDD *high fives team* WOOOOO!!! *tackles*

Peace,
Rotae
