On change, or the lack thereof.
I won't lie. I'm dissapointed. I spent the time watching the CBC election coverage, trying to pry my eyes away long enough to watch and episode of Friends I hadn't seen before. And then, I turned off the TV and gathered all my nervous energy…and slunk around the house, already knowing the outcome of our election. Then Lisa came home and started swearing at the TV. So I assumed that I had guessed correctly. I feel bad for the conservative party(I take it all far too personally. Ever since Dad ran for parliament…), but it was bound to happen.

Now that the night is over, I've cast my vote (which was, btw, very, very fun) and I have done all I can do...I'm actually feeling rather optimistic. Because while I wasn't "for" the liberals, this is the perfect opportunity for them to change. To actually start improving something. Because we've had the same useless, ineffective government for ten years, and now…maybe something will actually be done. They're not sitting so safely right now. What can I say? I'm an eternal optimist.

A main source of irritation for me was the fact that most of the people I talked to wouldn't or couldn't make a half decent argument about why they were voting liberal. And I while I could have gone for hours talking…I generally didn't want to come across as that…bulldoggish.

So, Canada. I hope we enjoy our 10,000 windmills. And I will be watching the liberals very closely. Eventually I'll compose a list of things that they say they will do, and I'll point out moves TO doing them, and moves away from it. I think it's time we held our government accountable.

Britney Spears is engaged to some skinny-assed dancer. Hm. I'm thinking Britney is going all J-Lo. I can't even begin to explain how ridiculous I find it. But who knows, maybe they are really and truly in love. Maybe she's found her soul mate and will be with him, forever and ever amen.

Or maybe (and this is just speculation) she's infatuated, and thinks that this "could be it!" like most chicks prone to getting everything they want are.

Did you know that Pope John Paul II was named an "official Harlem Globetrotter"?

Men are 6 times more likely to be struck by lightning than women.

The star-spangled banner is set to the tune of an English drinking song.

There is a lot more stuff -- controversial, interesting information that I have crammed away in my little notebook…but today I feel goofy, not jaded. So we'll save my random "scandalous" information for a time when I feel like taking on…people. Until then, I will say this: I'm a cat, I'm a kitty cat. And I dance dance dance, and I dance dance dance.



HAH.
