Yeah!

[itsallovernow]

Voting achieved. Same polling place, just the table on the other side of the 10x10 room that no one directed me to, and which I couldn't see because of the mass of people in there earlier.

I voted for Kerry. I thought about it long and hard, whether I could live with the vote, with that choice, whether he represented enough of the things I believed in and came out of it with the decision, that yes, he did.

That's all the politics that this LJ can handle today. Later tonight, pre-return mania, I'm teaching a bunch of Jewish women to bellydance for half and hour, then watching them perform the routine. Yeah.

So, yeah. It's a freezone now. Do with that what you will. And if you want to talk politics, or just, this is the way I'd like things to be, give me one thing - issue, idea, right, tax, flavor, channel, anything that you would wish in or out of existence if you had the big old rubber stamp of power. Doesn't have to be legitimate, it can be Apple Jolly rancher flavored doorhandles if you want, but it's a day about having a voice, so let's hear those voices

Go girl!

We will see you in scant hours to see how this story turns out...

[thassalia.livejournal.com]

Oy, there's just this not in my stomach over the outcome, it's surpassed the loser/winner thing into just a weird sort of floaty fear.

I want to hope that, regardless of the winner, that we've all learned something from this about what we believe and the ways we want to live.

I have a feeling that one way or another, all that beer is going to be much needed:)

[spoonishly.livejournal.com]

Yay on voting! And special yay for not giving up when they turned you away the first time. Go you!

As for what I would stamp out of existence...

Wait for it...

SPEEDOS.

Heh, sorry, I am so not in serious mood right now. I'm punch drunk nervous and jittery.

[bexxa.livejournal.com]

Oh, god, yes - that is, NO SPEEDOS!

Especially on old European men with bellies.

[thassalia.livejournal.com]

No, no dude!! You can't outlaw speedoes:) Hee, how about, instead, establish a Speedo approval committee:)

Hee, no, that's not fair, you wanna eliminate speedos, we'll eliminate them:) Especially on fat, hairy old European men:)

[raithen.livejournal.com]

BUT, as an old online Pal would surely say, with no speedos, there would be no:

Xander. In a Speedo. Wet.

And that would make the world a much sadder place.

[cretkid.livejournal.com]

Or Mulder in a RED speedo, wet.

[thassalia.livejournal.com]

Oy, that is very, very true. And that would be very, very sad.

[thassalia.livejournal.com]

This is true, even if I never found Xander particularly appealing, his moment in the speedo did us all good:)

[thassalia.livejournal.com]

Hee - it'd be hard from them to swim with, um, everything flappin' around in the breeze though:)

Hee - but we're not eliminating the long, low riding swim pants though, right?

[spoonishly.livejournal.com]

I think I wouldn't be opposed to a regulatory commission on speedo's. Something along the lines of:

"If you are a professional swimmer and/or are hot (and no, you don't get to judge for yourself!), you may wear a speedo. If you are not any of the above, please refrain from speedo wearing under consequence of incarceration and/or public humiliation."

[thassalia.livejournal.com]

Approved. Heartily!! There are hearts and smileys on the big rubber stamp!

Doesn't have to be legitimate, it can be Apple Jolly rancher flavored doorhandles if you want

::shocked look::

Are you suggesting that there is something illegitimate about Apple Jolly Rancher-flavored doorhandles?

(Now, if they were Jolly Apple Rancher-flavored doorhandles, you might have a point...but then the local constabulary would likely have some serious questions about just how you know what a jolly apple rancher tastes like.)

Personally, while I consider AJRFD to be completely legitimate and entitled to the full hardware legally available, they would not be compatible with my lifestyle choice: sugar consumption. I'd have to keep replacing them, because I'd keep nibbling on them every time I used the door... ;-)

[thassalia.livejournal.com]

True, and your hands would get all sticky, and then we'd have to recquire hand sanititzers by every doorway which would get ridiculously expensive.

All of which is not a case for illegitimacy, though:)

[denyeverything1.livejournal.com]

Go you, with your persistance and all. I'm pleased and impressed!

I'm in a surprisingly good mood right now -- ignorance being bliss -- and can't really think of anything I want to stamp out... cockroaches, maybe. But someone else would have to do the stamping, because all I can do when I see one is scream and run. I'm such a girl.

[thassalia.livejournal.com]

Hee - okay, I don't think I can actually bear to eliminate cockroaches, but they can go to their own cockroach ranch where they can run free and play and avoid people with big shoes and evil intent:)

[jenlev.livejournal.com]

so, one thing i'd wish out of existence? er, the electoral college.

or, how about having any and all weapons turn into 70% dark chocolate? *veg*

[thassalia.livejournal.com]

Hee - done! Guns for chocolate. It's a pogram I can live with:)

[jenlev.livejournal.com]

*looks up from munching chocolate* bwahaha!

i think we'd do better with more chocolate on this planet. ;)

Voting ahoy

[haphazardmethod.livejournal.com]

Good for you for sticking with it!

Re: Voting ahoy

[thassalia.livejournal.com]

It's important. And I'd have been ashamed not to vote because of inconvenience. I don't get to fight for much these days, need to do what I can:)

But it made me rethink the romance of voting on election day:)

[ropo.livejournal.com]

Hmmm. Hmmm. Imagine if penises tasted like apple jolly ranchers. The world would be a better place.

[thassalia.livejournal.com]

Oh, dude, if I had the power to grant that, none of us would care about the electoral college:) Okay, some people would care. Hee!

[raithen.livejournal.com]

I'd still care. And you'd need to offer a selection of flavours, because apple jolly ranchers (erm, actually, ALL jolly ranchers) taste pretty horrid, IMHO.

[thassalia.livejournal.com]

Hmm. Trying to see this, but failing. How 'bout it being personal choice.

[life-on-queen.livejournal.com]

How about cinammon?

Although, if penises tasted like cinammon, I'd probably give up my day job to start 'ho-ing on Jarvis St...

[thassalia.livejournal.com]

See - clearly there are drawbacks to getting what you want:)

[somedaybitch.livejournal.com]

proof that God isn't a woman....it doesn't taste like chocolate.

[thassalia.livejournal.com]

Hee - so very, very true!

[somedaybitch.livejournal.com]

and you know, the world would be a much better place if it did.

[thassalia.livejournal.com]

It's true;)

[somedaybitch.livejournal.com]

could you imagine? the plethora of males that would be so tired they'd run in fear. heh.

[thassalia.livejournal.com]

Hee - they'd be tooooo tired to run:)
