i projectile vomited all over my room last night. i am sort of a chronic oversharer, so i will not divulge details. except that the last thing i ate was lasagna and it was everywhere. today was spent trying to convince my body not to throw up again. it worked, but i still feel pretty barfy.
a somewhat related question: why have celebrities taken it upon themselves to ensure that young people are encouraged to vote? it's not that i disagree with the sentiment that the youth should be active in choosing its representation. i just think it's worrisome if ludacris or jessica alba was the primary motivation to get you to fill out that voter's registration card.
and why do these frivolous celebrities feel they are qualified to give political endorsements? i would bet kanye declared scarlett johansson as his favorite white girl because she is hot, not because she openly endorses barack obama. because i don't think anyone actually gives two shits about her political views, and i think the same goes for virtually every other celebrity who has given his or her endorsement, which is typically for obama (because everyone knows that conservatives do not possess the necessary shining personalities or talent to become famous.. jay kay!!).
i am so glad that elections only happen every four years; i could not possibly stand this fuckery if it occured at smaller intervals. i actually wish this election would just be overwith. i think there is really only so much that can be said about either of the tickets, and we have reached a point where no new arguments are being made. people are just rehashing the same issues, and i think most people having these arguments are fairly set in their opinions, which makes the discussions completely useless and annoying.
finally, liberals and socialists are not offended by being called "a liberal" and/or "socialist." so it is ineffective to use these terms as intended insults.

See now, I was thinking Peak-a-Reynolds. Doesn't that have a nice ring to it? Ha, ha. No really, it was a very hard decision to change my name. My hardcore feminist side was totally anti, but the part that wanted to completely sever me from my "old" family won out in the end. But I still have fond memories of my good friends calling me Peak, so that can remain. :) Now...I loved your blog. I totally agree that this election is just ridiculous. I mean, it is honestly a puppet freak show put on every four years for news networks and SNL to boost their ratings. Seriously. It's the same old talk, with the same old solutions that are simply impossible to achieve with half of the government fighting to the death against them, whichever side is in office. Or, at least that's how I feel. I gave up partisanship last year. It was the best thing in my whole life. I love you, and I miss you. Yours.
