It happens to be a lot. Something ticks me off and then I sit back and fume.

So I’ve been working on the beginning of my novel, and I’ve spent like two weeks before hand researching and writing back story and stuff for reference, and then here I was just typing up my character synopsis and I realized my male-female ratio is heinously off.

As in like, two in the whole thing. And one’s the main character so, well duh, and the second’s a bad guy, but now I need to rearrange things so that I have some sort of balance. Because two to twelve is just wrong.

Grr.

Sounds difficult.

I got yelled at while in FYE, for saying I was gonna molest the Vader cardboard cut out.

I think the guy thought I was serious, but hey, I bought and took it home that way I can do that in private.

I'd say Anya you didn't but I know you did.

You and Lisa Marie Presley should like start a club, those people in the world wiwth a crush on Darth Vader.

that's just wrong, lol...

Lisa-Marie has a crush on Darth? I swear, my bro thinks he's Darth Vader...He goes around with a hood over his head, breathing loudly.

I didn't molest it. I was joking and I you know talk to it. But I really do have a crush on Vader. I know it's wrong, but I hyperventilate when I see him.

I bought a the Vader voice changer and a lightsaver and put it in my 'when I'm married box.'

Just for Talkback, because we're gonna get married.

you and talkback :blink: ok...I'm pretty sure you mean Vader though, but whatever.

well...it depends when. Like I hyperventilate whenever I see Anakin :lol: And he's Vader...Sorta...

I used tyo have a HUGE crush on Snape in the HP movies. Everyone freaked out when I told them, so I did something predictable. I developed a huge crush on Legolas...And HAN SOLO!! He's not what I would call hot, and Harrison Ford's like 65, but I love his character. It's the sort of guy I'd like to date, though I don't know about marrying them...My type is the Rhett Butler/Han Solo/Jack Sparrow type. I totally fall for that type. And the sk8er types, especially the hair! I have a crush on this one guy's hair! And the rest of him too, lol :lol:

Nope, I meant Talkback or Ashley Calhoun or Stalwart or whoever else he might be. We're getting married.

And Anakin is not Vader. There's a gigantic difference from blondie and the Sith lord.

awesome! Ok, I totally fricked out about that. Sorry, I mixed up Talkback and Kit, and yeah...Not that I've got a problem with that, but...ok, I'll change the subject, lol.

Congrats, guys! When is the wedding date? :P

and that's why I said he's sorta the same. Ok, in my opinion, Anakin is hotter than this bald, caped, mouth-breathing, lord of darkness, but that may not be the case with everyone, so I digress.

I have a thing for tall, pale guys who like black and have lots of power.


And since Vader doesn't really exist, I'll stick with Talkback. Overlooking teh fact that we haven't dated or anything.

so like are you engaged...Did you just go up to one another and go "oh lets get married." I'm confused. :blink:

OMG! I'm confused, too. (As usual... :P ) So, who is TalkBack? And you're getting married??

Talkback is Ashley Calhoun/Stalwart of Cavall

I'd say long story, but it's not.

Just Talkback has a Darth Vader shirt, and Ijust got out of Kit’s pool and everything’s a blur thanks to water and the fact that I didn’t have my glasses, but I picked that out and just went over and was like, “I’d marry you for that shirt.”

And he gets down on one knee and quotes some Shakespeare and asks me to marry him.

I said yes.

Not that I’d mind actually marrying Talkback. He’s a stud. Over looking the fact he’s about a foot and a half taller than I am.

Hey, I got you a ring! So it was from the vendy thing at Wal mart but hey, ring's a ring.

And I'm not a foot and a half a foot and a quarter.

And I won't even take the 'stud' comment badly as I'm sure I'm one probably two real guys Anya's ever said.

*shakes head*

Anya, call me tomorrow after I get back from dance. Your phone's always busy. Mel, Shadowy, and I were plotting about *shifty eyes* stuff.

anyway...........

:huh:

lol

We're in the midst of an election over here and no offence to anyone but electioneering over here has become so f'ing Americanised. The focus has become slinging mud at each other and so little is actually being said about the policies of the parties. I'd quite like to know what the hell they actually plan to do with the country rather than who can dig up/make up the biggest piece of dirt.

gah.

I want our terribly British politics back.

...okay I'm done...and given that this is 100% irrlevant to anyone but me....get back to the bizzare darth vader squeeage. ;) Nana needs to sit down and have a cuppa.

It wasn't always like that. Like around the turn of the century things got bad. Clinton commericials were actual you know, vote me for I did good stuff.

And I don't care what you say about his scandel, he was good president. Economic stability and liberalish, yay!

My opinon: Bush ruins everything.

Really, I know it's weird. But then again, he's awesome because he's pretty much the only person in the Star Wars universe wo isn't married, and I'd feel bad chasing after a married man.

Al right, except Palpy but that, THAT would just be *shudder* there isn't a word to describe the level of grossiosity to you need to---all right now I need to go remove my frontal lobe for that last thought.

*twitch*



And you're right Talkback, I get attracted to people's characters and then I see them on a normal basis and it's like, you were hotter as so and so.

You know what. I think I'm going crazy.

hey! you blew my attempt to move things away from Vader and on to politics! LOL :rolleyes:

I agree Kit, from a spectators point of view I think Clinton was a far better president than Bush. He was less inclined to drop bombs on his problems and more inclined to try and use diplomacy. He did wonders for the middle east situation in Israel for starters.

Blair over here isn't all bad but everythings been clouded here by him dragging us in to a war the public fundamentally didn't want this country to be involved in and thats got in the way of every other domestic issue in the election.

Don't try and sneak politics past Kit, she always clings on, although besides blaming Bush, I would greatly enjoy lynching Barry Goldwater, idiot who had to go and get conservatisim started.

Lol, conservatism's been around since the beginning of politics.

go Kit! Finally someone who shares my political views. I can't discuss politics with Kathlayne or Gwynn...They always run away screaming. I've no idea why, that longest speech I've ever given on how Bush is the worst thing that's happened to America in 100 years was 3 hours. And it's a subject I feel strongly about. Though I haven't really done anything more mature about it than talk, or grab my friend and go paste democratic campaign posters all over my Republican uncle's house...I was soooooo funny though! My friend, Allie, goes in to distract my aunt and uncle while I put up the posters, and she accidentally knocks over this monopoly game and scatters the money everywhere! They were on their knees for like 15 minutes, while I put up all the posters and waited for her to come out! lol!

ok, I'm done.

Though Clinton, ok. He balanced the budget. He balanced the budget. Bush has thrown us into deep deep debt. And we're still using a ton of money and gas and energy and all that crap. America's going to go back into the great depression or something like that if we don't get our act together! What are we going to do when all the oil/fossil fuels are gone. We won't have enough electric vehicles to support our economy if we keep on like that. And, I'm not entirely sure about global warming, but if it's happening, and it sure feels like it here, then we're just polluting it more, and the hole in the ozone layer will just get a heck of a lot bigger. And I'm trying not to cuss, but I'll start swearing if I keep this rant up much longer, so I'll shut up now.

Because, aside from bombing the Armenians, Clinton never had a war. Wars are always very expensive.

Heh.

Of course


I knew that Bush was going to win the election. Kerry had two strikes against him and Bush is a wartime pres. if he got voted out it'd be teh first time. And the odds were against it.

well heres hoping the election result here tomorrow is good, which for me means any result that doesn't include the Conservatives in power which would be a disaster. I think one right wing idiot in control of a world power is quite enough thank you! :)

And conservatism by the way.....before your constitution was even a glint in anyones eye it was pretty well formed political idea in Europe, to say the very least!
(unfortuately for some.)

I can't proclaim to be any kind of great expert on American politics but I did have to question the USA's collective sanity when Bush got back in! heh. You have quite a big voter apathy rate over there though right?

Oui. The younglings don't vote.

Although, I don't think that it'll be so bad the next election. They started ingraining the importance of voting into us so it wouldn't happen.

But Kerry was:
catholic
northern
and from a state with only 12 electoral votes

Meanwhile Bush:
is pure WASP
Southern
Texas has about 34 points I think.
a wartime president

People honestly don't care about Catholocism. Ok - go ahead - say I'm nieve, but I have never, ever met anyone who hated Catholics.

Kerry was the sacrificial lamb. The Democrats put him up there because he was a horrible candidate, and there was no way he was going to win. I'm sure Hilary, who is now reinventing herself to be more appealing to conservatives, had some sort of say in this. I think the idea was sorta to test the waters.

Yeah, Southernism is a definite factor in getting elected. :) We haven't had a northener president since Kennedy, and you see how he was accepted back down South *maniacal grin* (Ok, well it was prolly more like he went on a mafia-hunt...). I think part of it is origin and policy, but also, throughout American history, the best leaders have come from the South.

Ooh... just *begging* for some rotten tomatoes on that one... Go ahead, argue!

LIES!! LIES!! LIES!! LIES!! LIES!! LIES!! LIES!!! :angry: are you kidding Meridan??!! I DESPISE BUSH!!! He's the worst thing that's happened in my life!! You think I SUPPORT him!! You MORON!! are you mental!! I don't run away screaming!! I just hate Bush SO much I feel like squishing him like a catalpa tree worm *sniggers to Meridan* that's why I go crazy! YOU ARE CRAZY!! *runs around roaring insanely* I may be insane, too, but I have MY reasons!!!

:rolleyes: I didn't say you supported him, genius child. And it's more Liz that runs, but people on this site don't know who Liz is, now do they? Well, Rean might, since she's on Savanna Fate, but whatever.

You are right about that, Emmi. Clinton didn't have any wars to deal with. But I think that Bush is a crappy wartime president. We're just going deeper and deeper into debt, and he hasn't given us a truthful or logical reason for going into Iraq. I mean, all the crap about liberating the Iraqi's is complete bull. Ok, there are tons of countries in Africa and all, and perhaps in South America, though I'm not sure about that...But anyway, there are many countries that have leaders that were just as bad as Saddam, if not worse. And we're not going into them because? Because they don't have enough oil? And anyway, the war is getting us less gas, apparently, considering gas is like $3 a gallon in LA! (I know it's more in the UK, though, Ruth...Or at least so I've heard.) Anyway, when we went into Liberia, we sent like 50 soldiers in to guard the US embassy. That's not my idea of bravery on the part of the white house.

And on a different subject, Ruth, as the 'token brit' could you tell me something? I'm just curious, lol, I read the there is a Monster Raving Loony Society of Cambridge...Is that really a party or was I taken in by somebody. Seriously, I'm a blonde and rather ditzy. I admit that much, considering I walk into doorways with surprising regularity. :lol:

I beg to differ on the catholic point.

There are still a lot of crap going on in the deep South that's really hard to believe.

I took my friend, Ani with me to Mississippi. Now, Ani's pure D'Italia, Catholic, and pretty much makes you think of the Godfather the first time you see him, but at any rate and we were in the rural, no where man and he goes over to the convience store at the gas station and I'm just standing there, notice a guy walk in comes out and Ani's still in there.

Walk in he's standing there adn the guy's just ignoring him. Of course then he spots me and shaped up as anyone with any sense doesn't pick on the six foot six inch guy.

Thats messed up. I'm not pretending that we don't have racism here because we blatantly do, but I suppose it's never been institutionalised over here. Maybe old habits die hard.

As for the Monster Raving Looney Party. Yes they ran in every election and no they never won any seats. They were lead by Screaming Lord Sutch who died a few years ago. All very silly and amusing and I'm sure it was some bizzare Oxford joke way back when. :)

Well looks like we've got Tony Blair for another 4 years. I can live with Labour I suppose if he sorts his act out. Unfotunately the Conservatives are still in opposition (not that this means much to you guys hehe) but the Liberal Democrats, the party I support have made serious gains. Interesting.

Hey, I'm a democrat, lol...Ok, so I'm not yet old enough to vote, but that time won't be too long in coming...Yeah, I live in the south. Not deep south, just in KY, but believe me, there's enough racism here, especially since I live in a rather rural area. It's mostly the hicks that are racist though, but I'm antihick, so whatever. My family's from CA.

The Liberal Democrats over here aren't quite the same as the Democrats in the states but similar kind of ideals I suppose. Where I live is firmly a Labour stronghold, they used to be a socialist party but lost their fire for that a long time ago. :)

interesting. Lol, Is the Monster Raving Looney Party still a party? If so, that's the party for me! Gosh, I'm so tired of America right now I could scream. Actually I think I will, but it's of no consequence either way, considering I've got my music turned up so loud.

Yeeeeeeeeah. i wanna be a whig. I have no idea what the point of them were, but it was a cool name.

lol, yeah...I read somewhere that the whigs were like todays republicans and that the republicans were like todays democrats...But that's history, and it's not my stround suit by any stretch of the mind.

They were. Partially at any rate.

Republicans were more liberal. Democrats were more conservative. However, Republicans were still corporate s.

The idea of Whigs (Liberals) and Torys (Conservatives) comes from the British political system. They were the two parties in England from the 18th Century onwards really, obviously those politics were taken to their colonies too. Traditionally the Whigs were reformers, chasing social reform and to some extent and administrative reform while the Tory's did exactly what it says on the box. Both parties over here were mostly made up of Peers of the Realm and wealthy landowners/industrialists until the end of the 19th century when we get the rise of the Labour party and full franchise to all male voters.

Here endeth Nana's boring lecture on politics. ;)
