  You were only waiting for this moment to arrive.

  It's Getting Hot in Here:

  I've by now been thoroughly chastised by my parents for my political leanings. They are both conservative Republicans. Everyone in my house is a conservative Republican, except me..I tend to keep my mouth shut anymore when the conversation rolls around to Washington. I have been accused of "always defending Him", meaning Obama, of course, and you know what, I can't think of a single occasion where I defended Barack Obama to my family. What I have done is try to introduce some actual facts into the conversation. My parents say that clearly John McCain is the real Christian and he is The One who supports Christian Values and Valerie Huber (friend of the family, works in Washington) acknowledges that McCain is obviously the only choice for the Christian voter. They say they would be embarrassed for their daughter to vote for "A Man Like That", whatever that means (I'm guessing it means baby-killer). They call me "liberal!" like it's a dirty word. But when it's not voting season and tensions aren't running quite so high, they call me a hippie and giggle about it.

  Bonus points: I'm also thoroughly entangled in a great political argument over MySpace, of all things. Well, that's what Wes uses mostly, and he did initiate the..opinion exchange, shall we say. He describes himself as "so far right wing you can't see the independents in the middle." And well, it sure is interesting! We are the antithesis of each other. I'm not quite sure if that's spelled correctly. Or, as we decided, we are polar bear opposites. You may take that metaphorically or literally, as you wish.

  Impossible Things Are Happening Every Day:

  I Rickrolled an ENTIRE PARKING LOT, I was so pleased! My brothers were so embarrassed they got down on the floor and hid underneath the seats.

  I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For:

  It happens to be a political cartoon one of the newspapers ran maybe a week, week and a half ago? I'm not sure of the date. Or which paper. We get the Troy paper and the Dayton paper. And I don't remember which cartoonist it was, so it appears I'm up a creek without a paddle. It's a Wall-E cartoon. Wall-E is sadly sweeping up the remains of the great Wall Street crash. It is labeled "WALL strEet." Google can't help me. All it knows is "Wall Street Got Drunk!" If anyone can help me find this cartoon, I will pay you a million dollars. Well. Actually. I can pay you..I can pay you in banana stickers, in eprops or in a Rickrolled! phone number (but I'm not certain it works properly). Or I could just hail you on my blog as Amazing Chief of the Googlers. You pick! It can be..a contest. Yes. You may begin.

  All Animals Are Equal. But Some Animals Are More Equal Than Others:

  I'm practically in love with dystopia novels and like..vintage political satire..The other day I felt this burning need to reread Orwell's Animal Farm. I found this great copy from the 1950s at the public library, it's full of pictures and everything. The pig/human drawings are the absolute best. What do you think? At what point are the actions of the pigs no longer acceptable or justifiable to you?

  What Not to Wear On a Windy Day:

  A trapeze dress.

  I Feel Like I Need Some:

  Friends.

  I don't really talk to people anymore. It's kind of sad but also kind of really understandable when you consider the fact that all my previous set of friends were friends from church, which means my ex-church, which means I rarely see them now, and we were already pretty much drifting off in different directions. How about that alliteration? No, I don't wanna talk about alliterations! [/lillymoscovitz] My new set of friends, they're hilarious, they're there, they're constant and full of things I'm looking for in friends, but. But but but. Of course we don't know each other very well yet, we only met, what, five months ago? And we see each other Sundays. My closest friends at the time of this writing, ironically, are my "internet friends"..well, two of them..we're the little trio, and then our internet circle of friendship expands from there and we're all friends with each other but at the core, it's us. They're still here. Thank goodness.
