Barack Obama! You're limiting my TV options!

The election results weren't as bad as I thought they would be.
Of course, Barack Obama won.
Gee, didn't see that one coming.
Even if I didn't (or don't) agree with his politics, people's excitement about his election is contagious.
And all of my friends are genuinely happy and think he'll bring a change.
And, looking on the bright side, he can't be worse than Bush.
I really want to know what kind of puppy he's getting his daughters once they move into the White House.
He definitely deserved to win the election, and John McCain was very sportsmanlike about losing.
I-1000 passed in Washington, though. It pretty much sucks.
I talked to some people about it, though, and their reasoning was, "Well, it costs a lot to keep someone on life support."
Yeah, that's true, too bad it's a COMPLETELY different issue.
I-1000 was about legalized suicide.
How come health care will pay to give someone a lethal injection, but won't pay to help fight the disease?
And how come teens shouldn't commit suicide, but sick adults are allowed to?
When this point was brought up, however, those same people said, "Well, it life support costs a lot."
It's pretty funny. A bunch of kids in my English class are closet conservatives, and we all sit near one another.
I stole my dad's sweatshirt. No, I've never attended Wichita State.
Hi-Chews are on sale, but everyone is broke.
Mmm, that's what Pop Tarts are for.

The Castle Personality Test

You are scared of new experiences. It's hard for you to break outside of your comfort zone. You like to think that people see you as dramatic and fascinating. You do your best to seem mysterious. You are a very romantic person. You can't help but see the world as it should be. Right now, you feel like the whole world is open to you. You see lots of possibilities. Overall, your life is very peaceful - if not a little solitary. Much of what goes on goes on in your head. You aren't optimistic about the future. You worry about what will happen to the world and if we'll be able to clean up the messes we've made.

The Castle Personality Test

We just finished "The Pit and the Pendulum" in English, and now we're watching a weird movie version that has absolutely nothing to do with the actual story.
The acting is rather horrendous, and all efforts to scare didn't do much for today's desensitized American teenagers.

Political graciousness: a privelege, not a right

The first issue of the school newspaper came out. It was actually pretty good, except for a couple articles that didn't weren't exactly "non-biased".
Reporters report things.
They don't preach things.
Which is why I'd be a horrible reporter.

It smells like strawberries!
Try saying that with a British accent. Straaawberries.
Ugh, like that guy on "Indiana Jones".
"JOOOOOOOOOONESYYYYYYYY! Jonesy, I'm gonna be all right. *wink*"
And then the aliens sucked him away.
But not Harrison Ford!
The stupid election.
I'm sort of discouraged. I know I've lost, okay. Or, at least, McCain has lost.
But it annoys me that because I'm not for Obama, people assume I'm racist.
It has nothing to do with the color of his skin!! It has to do with the fact that he's for abortion and what not!
And of COURSE America's ready for a black president. I just don't want it to be this one.
But that's not my choice. Barack Obama has won. So, in 4 years, I'll be 20, and I'll be able to vote, and if there is a black Republican candidate, I'll vote for them.
But quit calling me a racist.
