With Apologies To Those Who Are Sick Of The Election. But, Man, Ukuleles.

To the three persons from my English Language course who came up to me on the train platform and allowed me to join their conversation: you won't see this, but I was feeling terribly lonely after the seminar, and you are the reason I wasn't in tears on my journey back from campus today. Thank you so much; you have no idea how much you helped me.


To America: I hope you have been voting for Obama. He plays the ukulele. And he's probably got some policies and things, but, seriously, you need a president who can play the ukulele. Don't deny it. (Everyone I passed today was discussing the election. Everyone. There's not nearly so much interest when it's time to elect a party for our country.)


To self: I CANNOT BELIEVE YOU BOOKED A PLACE AT A SUPERNATURAL CONVENTION. YOU ARE SUCH A DORK. AND IT'S GOING TO DRAG YOU UP TO BIRMINGHAM RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF YOUR EXAMS. AND YOU FORGOT TO FILL IN YOUR ADDRESS, SO YOU MAY NOT EVEN GET THE CONFIRMATION LETTER WITH THE DETAILS YOU NEED. WAY TO GO. (I've e-mailed the guy in charge, so with any luck I have not ruined my chances of meeting [livejournal.com profile] wanttobeatree and [livejournal.com profile] sazzlette eeeeeeeeee. APPARENTLY THERE ARE GOING TO BE SOME ACTORS OR SOMETHING TOO, BUT [livejournal.com profile] wanttobeatree AND [livejournal.com profile] sazzlette ARE THE IMPORTANT PART.)


To everyone on my flist: ahahaha, I love that you're all falling for High School Musical. (Pretty much all of the posts on my friendspage lately have been about either High School Musical or the American election. I FEEL A TRULY HORRIFYING CROSSOVER COMING ON.)

I am of course unable to vote in the US election so as a substitute I went into town and bought a HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL PARTY PLANNER. The, er, incredibly creative HSM-themed activities it includes: charades where you mime scenes from HSM and people have to guess which one you're doing! a quiz telling you what HSM character are you most like! um, some kind of HSM-themed musical chairs, I am not sure exactly how that works?

IT IS MY WAY OF SUPPORTING AMERICA. BEST OF ALL it comes with amazing stickers. I am going to put the Ryan and Chad stickers on my bike and draw little hearts around them.

... I am apparently most like Sharpay, because I prefer chocolate covered strawberries to pretzels! I WAS HOPING FOR RYAN, I HAVE TO SAY. (I should point out that the deciding factor in the quiz is what kind of snack/candy do you like best out of the list they give you. I believe this speaks volumes about the target audience. WHATEVER.) Ryan supposedly likes cotton candy and cookies with lots of sprinkles. Gabriela likes jellybeans! Chad likes licorice! UM, OKAY.

Which one are you? I have no idea which one I'd be. I only know that for Top Gear, everyone in my family agrees that I'm most like the Stig.

I thought you were Richard?

Only if you don't include the Stig.

I think I'm Richard, everyone else thinks I'm the Stig.

Well it's better than being Jeremy.

[identity profile] amy-wolf.livejournal.com 2008-11-05 05:18 am (UTC)(link)
Although being Jeremy-like is the thing that sneaks up on me I can't help. Seriously, watch Jeremy Clarkson on What Not To Wear, and go shopping with me ever, and you'll see! We're the same person there! And when I'm writing fic as Jeremy, although that gives me neck pains.

[identity profile] bubbles-san.livejournal.com 2008-11-05 05:24 am (UTC)(link)
So if you're Jeremy, does that make me Richard? Because cenea does mean things to Richard. I want cenea to do nice things to me.

I fear that me being Jeremy would make you Richard. Although me being the Stig leaves either possibility open.

I think I want to go back to being Jeremy. I have a list!

[identity profile] amy-wolf.livejournal.com 2008-11-05 06:41 pm (UTC)(link)
Wouldn't the one with the nice, rational "Here's why I should be this particular presenter," list be James? I mean Richard would prepare a powerpoint presentation, but it would rapidly collapse into an argument, and Jeremy would just shout until he got his way.

I can be James. I don't mind being James. cenea doesn't do horrible things to James.

ALSO, WE KNOW GEORGE BUSH LIKES PRETZELS. THIS APPARENTLY MAKES HIM MOST LIKE TAYLOR.
