John Van Dyke: When our children can go to any street corner in America and buy pornography for five dollars, don't you think that is too high a price to pay for free speech?
President Josiah Bartlet: No. On the other hand, I think that five dollars is too high a price to pay for pornography.




Yeah, I got some fun stuff at the thrift store. More long-sleeve-ed clothes! YAY! Plus, I found a pair of sandals that would work pretty well with kimono/hakama cosplay for a buck. I... am happy. XD

I`m going to post first lines from my assorted works of fiction. Your task is to take one and write a short drabble using the line as your first. Repost this in your journal, so I can do the same :D

( I was good, I only chose... a handful. )

President Josiah Bartlet: What do you think, Josh?
Josh Lyman: I make it a point never to disagree with Toby when he's right, Mr. President.




I walk in the door not ten minutes ago and my dad looks up at me and says "Good news/bad news."

... I stop in the door and stare at him, rewinding the past two weeks in my head to see if I've done anything marginally wrong, illegal, or against my parent's moral code. Nope, all in line, except for a signifcant lack of cleaning the upstairs bathroom. "Um... good news?" I prompt slowly, dreading the inevitable.

"We remembered to tape Lost! ^_^! Oh, and the tape ran out during West Wing."

"..."

"During the last fifteen minutes. But I've already figured out how this season is going to go, I was hinting at it to Jason and some of the hints showed up in the next-episode preview!"

"...I... think I'll go download it..."

Jesus, the man had to go and give me a complete heart attack over the tape running out during West Wing? Why?! I was planning on downloading Lost and West Wing anyway because hey, signifcant lack of POLITICAL ADS OMG THE ELECTION IS IN TWO WEEKS OMG WE CAN'T RUN ANYTHING BUT POLITICAL ADS OMG!!!

GAH. I'm seriously starting a countdown to LACK OF POLITICAL ADS ON TV.

Long, long, LONG day. Got up decent time, sat down at the computer and my mom bustles in. "Oh, the Feys will be here in 30 minutes! We're going to go to the thrift store and out to eat, want to come?" Free food won out over the wanting-to-stay-in-pajamas-and-be-sick, so I went to the thrift store. Came out with a warm black fleece-y thing with red trim (seriously, kind of looks like what I've got Ed in in that Pokemon pic down a few entries), and a red hooded sweatshirt. It's fuzzy, but it will do all the same. ^_^x Also, found a pair of sandals that I can use in cosplay, think I mentioned that in previous post but the fact that they fit me STILL astounds me. Oh, and a new pair of cargo pants. Nice stuff, huh? I spent FIVE DOLLARS. ♥♥♥ I LOVE the thrift store. So, so much better than Goodwill. SO MUCH CHEAPER.

Went to LaRosa's, had yummy pizza. Came home. Fiddled around on the Internet for a bit, then went to work. :P New guy at work, he's "technically" Automotive/Sporting Goods. The part of the store I work in now is Toys/Sporting Goods/Automotive/Hardware/Furniture. But, each person is put in a part of that to specalize in, and my mad video game skillz yo put me in Toys. w00t.

Haven't played Leaf Green in two days. I know the second I turn it on I'll play it for at least two hours, so I'm considering hiding the Game Boy so I can take a breather. But, I still haven't even started Ruby yet. AND GOD I WANT TO.

Had a strange FMA plotbunny at work. Beat it to death with a football. Not even GOING there. ¬_¬x I really really really am in the mood to write and work on things but I'm going to be good, and not really start anything because NaNoWriMo is in a week and a half. I've been playing a little on Contingency (I'm so mean to poor Akai sometimes), and I've got this weird fanfic I've been working on just for the hell of it. (It involves, at this moment, no less than five different fandoms.) No one will probably see it unless I deem something funny enough to show someone, because I'm just writing it to "keep in practice" so to speak.

I probably won't even come close to succeeding at NaNoWriMo, but hopefully it'll get me writing on other things besides the plot I've got sitting for it. Because I suffer from the Bart Allen Syndrome and the second I sit down to work on one thing I get an idea for something else.

I need to make some more icons. I like using icons I've drawn, so I'll probably doodle some headshots up for other characters. I've got all those Bleach icons that are so ANGSTY, I love them to death but frankly I don't angst that much in this journal for me to use that many angsty icons. I like goofy icons with a handful of serious ones. Because that's the way I am. A goofy person. ^_^

[ETA]: What? NO! Bad, BAD Sarah Michelle Gellar! Direct quote from the article: "When Pierce Brosnan retires I`m going to be the next Bond."

Excuse me while I scream "WHAT THE HOLY FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU WOMAN?!" I can't even begin to ... gih! GAH! *bangs head repeatedly into monitor*
