You May Have Seen A Million Entries About This, But This One Has Pokémon.

Obama won! Obama won! I sort of wanted to dance my way into campus today. Thank you, America!

I feel that this really could be the start of a change for the better. Had I any video-editing skills, I would replace Troy's head in 'Start of Something New' with that of Obama. Possibly Gabriella's head, too.

I think it is probably for the best that I do not have video-editing skills.

I'm very disappointed that the various gay marriage bans passed (even in California! I EXPECTED BETTER OF YOU, CALIFORNIA), but I've heard the exit polls (whatever those are) showed that younger voters were voting against them, and that means that this is the future. The discrimination will end before long. We just have to be patient.

Here is my welcome to you, Mr President-Elect. I am sure you have been watching my journal with the same excited anticipation I felt when I woke up this morning and went to check out the BBC News website.

Your fourth paragraph is utterly charming and uplifting, and I request permission to quote it at a few depressed friends. :>



This is in no way a manip, I just think it's adorable.

[rionaleonhart]

You're very welcome to quote it, and I'm pleased you think I'm worth quoting.

Hee hee hee! Oh, Obama, you are the cutest president ever.

[aestivalis]

Here, have another!

I LOVE YOU SO MUCH.

[rionaleonhart]

Just doing my job!

...editing Pokémon into places where no Pokémon should be is totally my job, shut up.

(♥!)

Well done for the self restraint of making it to your computer - I reached for the previously untouched internet function on my phone this morning. It was important that I knew while I was still, about, 70% asleep.

George Takei needs to hunt down everyone who voted for the gay marriage ban and slap them hard and square in the face. I believe it is only fair.

I think this sounds like a reasonable proposition. Seriously, voters, what the hell?

[amy-wolf.livejournal.com]

I fully support your plan.

(Seriously, my uncles were talking about marrying their boyfriends they'd been with for decades, but people feared they'd turn children gay with marriage-rays or something?)

[pinkfinity.livejournal.com]

I admit that I played both Start of Something New and Breaking Free yesterday far too often.

Is that wrong?

[rionaleonhart]

It may be wrong, but it is so much better than being right.

[amy-wolf.livejournal.com]

It's great, isn't it?

And yeah, the gay marriage thing is a letdown, but there's enough good news that I can live with it. And those things will get better eventually.

[sparklenight.livejournal.com]

Haha, I laughed really loud at that pic.

I'm not so much overjoyed as relieved. The world isn't going to end.

[sparklenight.livejournal.com]

loudly? I need an adverb there, don't I?

Help me out here?

[rionaleonhart]

It should indeed be 'loudly' in Standard English, but our descriptivist course encourages us to embrace other forms of the language, so you are forgiven.

And I also believe that Obama is probably going to be better for the general state of the world than McCain would have been.

[dracothelizard.livejournal.com]

Boo, America, for doing the gay marriage ban. At least they got things right with Obama.

...And I already made a ridiculous political manip yesterday, so Ryan and Sharpay at the WhitePink House is my official contribution.

[bubbles-san.livejournal.com]

At the moment my computer is not cooperating enough to let me go hunt down political pictures and so I will have to settle for putting in an imaginary manip.

















Isn't it lovely? (Aww, man, I've just realized. I'm off today, I'm going to be home at the same time as my dad, he is going to be livid about this.)

I think the title of this post basically sums up your entire journal.

[rionaleonhart]

I've had the same journal subtitle for five years, and you've just inspired me to change it.

And then I thought 'well, as long as I'm changing things, I'm not really that into Doctor Who any more', and changed the default userpic I've had for three years.

NOW MY JOURNAL LOOKS SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT AND I AM DISTRESSED BY THIS. But, er, I suppose it's appropriate when America's just elected a president who stands for change?

[draegonhawke.livejournal.com]

I, for one, welcome our new Time Lord overlord.

I would totally have voted against Proposition 8, but I was prevented from doing so by the fact that I was half a continent away. :< I did, however, help ensure that idiots can constitutionally vote in Iowa.

...no, actually, I'm not joking.

[rionaleonhart]

I brought your Obama-is-the-Master theory up on the train with a gentleman from my course and a couple of friends of his yesterday, and this led to my conversing on Doctor Who for the rest of the train journey with a man I didn't know. You helped me be vaguely social! For that, I thank you.

I did, however, help ensure that idiots can constitutionally vote in Iowa.

Oh, do tell.

[bubbles-san.livejournal.com]

I told Other Gamestop Guy about your Obama=the Master theory and he agreed with me before I even had a chance to present all of the arguments for the theory. It disappointed me a little. I had rehearsed the speech and everything. (I like freaking out total strangers who may turn out ot be my future coworkers, okay?)

I APPROVE OF THIS POKEMON CHOICE FOR OBAMA

[rionaleonhart]

I thought for a moment, 'Hmmm, what Pokémon would Obama have?', and then I realised that the answer was so obvious.

(I suspect that if we ever meet irl, I'll hug you senseless purely because of prolonged internet friendship.)
