I caucused! WOOO! It was my first time, so I was a little nervous. I had no idea what went on at a caucus. Did you have to drink the blood of puppies? Sign your soul to the Democrats forever?* Declare your alliegence to dead gay headmasters? I didn't know. Well, they didn't make me do any of that. This is what I did have to do.

( Here's Christina's experience at the Washington Caucus )

I liked getting to meet all the people there (THERE WERE A LOT! GO DEMOCRACY! WOO!) and hearing what they had to say. I happily wore my Obama sticker to the grocery store later, and stuck my sign in the car window for the ride home.

This sounds dorky(not that I've ever cared about being dorky[what's with all the parentheses in this entry?]), but it made my day brighter to know that I was part of the process. That I did my civic duty.

But, hey, it's probably not as dorky as my Yay-I-Got-My-Ballot dance, when my ballot came in the mail in 2004. And WAY less dorky than my I-Just-Voted-WOO-WOO dance that I did after I voted for Kerry.

ETA: HA HA. Guys, I typed this entry up in Semagic HOURS ago and thought I posted it, but apparently not. Anyway, here it is now. And in case anyone was curious and didn't already know, Obama won in Washington, Louisiana, and Nebraska today!


*I proabably would have been okay with that.

Guys! GUYS! This is the greatest thing EVER! Make yourself the heroine in a romance novel! Pick the hero! They let you make little demos so you can see what it would be like. I ABSOLUTELY DID NOT PUT MY NAME IN THE PIRATE STORY WITH KEITH OLBERMANN. Or Jensen and myself into the vampire story. Because that's sort of creepy and I'm not creepy. AT ALL. No matter how badly I wanted to star in a medieval romance with Jared, I DID NOT DO IT. But really, the previews are HILARIOUS.

I had to make Rodney a girl because they don't have a same sex romance option, but OMG Y'ALL!

Meredith had to admit he was a rather attractive man, neatly attired in denim and leather. She scanned his athletic frame and stopped at an arresting pair of hazel eyes peeking out beneath a rather large cowboy hat, set atop dark brown hair. The stranger approached the bar, wearing a smoldering smile across a handsomely rugged jaw.

"What can I do for you?" she said coolly.

"What's your specialty," he flirted, leaning against the bar, flashing his big hazels.

"Sarcasm," was the sharp reply. "Care for a double?" Meredith had spent the morning cleaning the saloon's eaves troughs and was feeling filthy, embarrassed and annoyed all at the same time. She was in no mood for flirtation.

Put in his place, John cleared his throat and introduced himself as John Sheppard, a foreman with the Grand Humber railroad. "Ma'am, just call me John," he said, trying to make amends.

"Well the guy you're looking for? The hotel manager? That's me. I'm also the owner, Meredith McKay," she said coolly, giving a little and extending her hand.

( I couldn't resist doing the pirate one with Brenden... )

AND! AS A BONUS! You can do the same thing with children's books! I had a bunch of Christmas books like that(but a lot shorter) when I was little, and I thought they were pretty awesome.

Guys, I love this video. It's shown up a few times on my flist, so I'm sure it's shown up a few times on yours, but in case it hasn't, I'm posting it.



CHILLS! And I got all teary.

In case you haven't seen it yet, here's the Doctor Who trailer that plays before Cloverfield. If you're in the UK anyway.

Someone took it using a camera phone, so the picture and sound are crap, but you can clearly see both casting spoilers towards the middle. Also, if you don't know who the new companion is, I guess that's a casting spoiler.

( Let me squee at you with a [casting spoiler] pic under the cut )

Because she is awesome, svmadelyn is doing her Valentine's Day Game again this year! It's a really great way to celebrate. Everyone should go and check it out!

In case you missed The Shot of the Day on Friday, here's Anderson and Erica being adorable. Again.


Here

Erica joining 360! EEEE! I'm kind of super excited about that.

YAY! I convinced my sister to go with me to see Panic! on June 8th! Now I need to see if I can get some money so I can afford to go!
