*sits on the couch watching CNN....see's bush's smirking face come on....shouts obscenities and changes it to the surreal life*

Wahey, check this out...

Musician and record producer Brian Eno is actively campaigning for the party, with his website LibDemThisTime urging votes for the Lib Dems in an attempt to "move the whole political process somewhat leftwards".

Did you find out how you're going to vote, being that you'll be here during the elections?

 

[U2democrat]

do you have absentee ballots there?

 

[ewen]

I'm going to vote by post, I have until the 26th April.

I could vote by proxy but do I trust my Conservative friend Nigel or Socialist friend Muz? As for Tommy.........


Then again, my mother's a Lib Dem supporter. But, I'm gonna do it by post.

[U2democrat]

so...on the spectrum...are the lib dems to the left of the labour party?

 

[DaveC]

I think so.

I did a "who should you vote for in the UK elections" (curiosity got to me) and it all fell to the left and said I should vote LibDem.

 

[U2democrat]

*psst...pax...check your PMs...*

well its officially spring...it looks like we could have a tornado outside!

 

[DaveC]

This is me, all of 3 minutes ago.

Just made the shirt today too

 

[starsgoblue]

Go make yourself a goddang quesadilla, Dave!


Hi Rebekah.

 

[pax]

My family better enjoy taking advantage of my kindness until April 26th, because I am cutting off the gravy train at 12:00 a.m. on April 27th. Now I've gotten roped into driving to Bloomsburg on Sunday night to pick up my younger younger sister from "Siblings' Weekend."

Okay, okay, I'm over myself now.

*gets down on knees, thankful she's an only child*

 

[pax]

I look at it this way...between the housesitting for my aunt this weekend (when I could be spending the whole weekend in Scranton, unpacking and tidying up) and going to fetch my sister, I'm racking up some good karma points for while Ewen is here. I am turning OFF my cell phone in the evening, politely but firmly denying requests for shuttling younger siblings...I'm just not doing it.

So there.

 

[U2democrat]

so uh.....the sky is black...yeah....a huge storm is about to unleash on us. exciting!

 

[LarryMullen's POPAngel]

Oooh, storm!


I wish we were getting a big thunderstorm tonight - note, I said thunderstorm and not tornado. Those things scare the hell out of me!

I want a thunderstorm.

 

[U2democrat]

it looks like nighttime outside. yet so far no sprinkles or lightning.....boooooring!

 

[starsgoblue]

I had one last night! The air was postively electric right before....I love that.

 

[U2democrat]

uh oh............its turning green...................

for the longest time i wanted to be a storm chaser....then i realized that math and science was involved....

 

[U2democrat]

oh my its getting really bad now....and my backyard is all woods. i'm gonna get off so i can keep an eye on things. see y'all later!

 

[LarryMullen's POPAngel]

Storms = sexy.
