Oh my God, I don't think I can watch the election coverage and stay sane. *whimpers*

ETA: Oh! You know what makes it even worse? My state is on the Left West Coast, and I won't know for ages yet who our next governor is going to be! ARGH. *runs in circles*

ETA2: YAHOO YOU ARE NOT HELPING OH MY GOD.

So don't watch it! Nobody needs a nutty bedlam. *hugs*

IT SHOWS UP WHEN I CHECK MY EMAIL IN YAHOO. *weeps* and my candidate is trailing now, too. ohmygod. pevensie for president!

[mentalhygiene.livejournal.com]

I'm going to agree with you on that count.

The Tulane election party is in my dorm. I am not going. I am going to distract myself with -- well, actually, I should be reading The Duchess of Malfi. Homework what?

[mentalhygiene.livejournal.com]

If I felt healthier, I would go to hockey as a distraction. Sadly hockey is not looking like an option right at the moment. *growr*

[bedlamsbard.livejournal.com]

Alas! I am distracting myself by signing up for Yuletide. Turning eighteen: good for many things, writing porn legally one of them.

[mentalhygiene.livejournal.com]

I see nothing wrong with writing pr0n illegally. :) You can always lie.

[bedlamsbard.livejournal.com]

I'm a nutcase; I have moral issues, for some reason. Last year I was about two weeks shy of being eighteen in time.

I, meanwhile, have discovered that ABC News Radio (which I refuse to listen to normally) is streaming NPR live from the States.

Interspersed with this are little updates on Australian news and so on. I just learnt that our wheat harvest forecast is down 11.something percent. For some reason, the oil price is going down as well, but the Aussie Dollar is going up. US Elections= teaching me about the state of my country.

[bedlamsbard.livejournal.com]

What? There are other countries out there besides the U.S.? *grin*

[ineptshieldmaid.livejournal.com]

I tell you what happened HERE on Nov 4: the race of the year came down to a photo finish. It was exciting. More exciting and less wangsty than the American Elections, I say. :P

[bedlamsbard.livejournal.com]

This is the first year I've voted, and the first year I care, and -- agh! *flaily hands*

[ineptshieldmaid.livejournal.com]

*grabs your flaily hands*

write fic. it makes everything better.

You're voting against most of the intarwub, yes? You might want to bury yourself in fic for a few days regardless of the eventual outcome. There will be much gloating or shit-flinging...

[bedlamsbard.livejournal.com]

Fic. Fic is good. In fic Peta just almost died!

...wait. We were talking about how fic is good. Peta and Caspian just had their second and third kisses?

I live on a college campus. Tomorrow everyone is going to be smashed regardless of the outcome.

[ineptshieldmaid.livejournal.com]

KISSES. KISSES ARE GOOD.

Hmm, perhaps better to take your chances with angry and/or gloating obama fans on LJ than drunk students :P

[bedlamsbard.livejournal.com]

PETA AND CASPIAN ARE AWESOME. Just sayin', here!

She tilts her head back against the tree trunk, breathing hard through her mouth. “Thank you,” she says again, and then, “Come here.”

Caspian goes to her, close enough that he can feel her breath on his face and hear her sharp pants, the hitch in every breath, and then she curves a hand around the back of his neck and pulls his head down to hers, mouth open beneath his. She kisses him for a long time, all tongue and teeth and the taste of shared blood between the two of them, and then she pulls back, wincing.

“On account,” she says, and Caspian realizes he’s straddling her lap, knees braced on either side of her hips and nudged up against the tree, and flushes.

He sees her smile. “I think your friend broke my nose,” she adds. “Haven’t done that in a while; I forgot what it feels like.”

Unfortunately, I still have to go to classes.

[ineptshieldmaid.livejournal.com]

mmmm... *considers*

[bedlamsbard.livejournal.com]

Of course, then we could also consider the fact that Peta's badly wounded, and the reason they're hiding out behind a tree is because something went wrong with their raid, the Telmarine camp is in flames and panic, and they don't know where the rest of the Narnians are.

[ineptshieldmaid.livejournal.com]

BUT KISSES.

mmm.

[bedlamsbard.livejournal.com]

BUT DYING. Possibly. Well, let us consider the fact that Caspian had to carry her out of the Telmarine camp. That should say something right there.

[ineptshieldmaid.livejournal.com]

*sigh* Ok, so I'm easily pleased. They can die all they like as long as there are kisses first.

[bedlamsbard.livejournal.com]

Peta's going to be a little too busy not dying for Caspian to get himself laid tonight, alas.

Now, their first kiss, that showed up a couple of posts back.
