When I was a kid, I saw this quote written on a bathroom stall at a diner:

"It's a strange world. Let's keep it that way."

I liked it so much, I wrote it on the new trunk my dad bought me for x-mess in nail polish. It was one of my all-time favourite sayings in my adolescence, and still is now.

It wasn't until today, this moment, when I found out it was a quote from Warren Ellis's comic Planetary.

That made my day :)

I don't like to celebrate Valentine's day. I like going out with friends... couples AND single people, and just having a good time like any other day.

But a few days ago, Charles came home and said "Can I give you your Valentine's Day gift early?" And I was appalled! I said "Dude, I thought we agreed no Valentines. I can't afford to get you anything, and I used all my brain juice on what to get you (he is impossible to shop for) on your X-Mess gift!"

Then he pulled out Warren Ellis's novel, Crooked Little Vein, for which I had recently expressed a desire. And then I wasn't mad anymore ;)

On a pro-valentines note: Check out

bratty_princess's journal today for a link to a bunch of valentines I had made in her honor (with the covers and images of her comics).

"Well, Near as damnit.

He has been removed from power. Which, for such as him, is much the same thing as being dead. He's been a politician since he was a fetus, an election fiend from birth, spending his entire life in popularity contests to attempt to win the power to... do what? Be elected some more, in bigger and better elections?

His entire reason for being was to win. To be the Boss. And now he's lost. And he can't be President again. no bigger prize. We can't help but stop looking at him now.

I feel uncommon pity for him. So I have sent him, care of his feedsite's address, a loaded handgun. I have marked it with the words USE THIS ON YOURSELF. I urge you to do the same."
