I don't think I actually need to list my fandoms, do I? Well, for the sake of a good meme:
Heroes, Pushing Daisies, Criminal Minds, Torchwood, Chuck, SGA, Psych, Dresden Files, Eureka...
I'll attempt just about anything I know, though. :D Movies, books, whatever. Go on, give me something to do when I get home from church.

First, the mini-FSTs from my last post... seriously, go ask me for one, I love doing these! Nathan Petrelli from Heroes; Jack Carter from Eureka.
Politics! In order from most awesome to least awesome:

50 facts about Obama that you may or may not know. WERE YOU AWARE that his Secret Service nickname was "Renegade"? That's so much cooler than Maverick.
Thousands of protesters in many different places in CA all coming out in protest of Prop 8. Also, picketing outside the Mormon HQ in Salt Lake City. The picture is what did me in-- in what world should someone's marriage license be displayed in protest? How completely fucked is the fact that Prop 8 passed? I really can't imagine that the courts will let it stand. We'll have to see...
It won't hurt that Obama has lots of placements to make to the federal courts when he takes office. Not to mention the likelihood of a number of Supreme Court justices retiring in the next 4-8 years... and Biden chaired the Senate Judiciary Committee, so he's got mad judge-judgin' skillz, plus the majority in Congress will make putting approvals through pretty damn simple. It's like a perfect storm of executive-legislative-judicial powers!
Speaking of a perfect storm, in Hebrew Barack means "lightning" and Rahm means "thunder" hoshit get out from under the Washington Monument, kids, or your asses gonna get struck! No, but seriously, that is cool. :D
Not cool: Students in a Mississippi high school are not allowed to mention Obama outside of history class. WAT? This is... so epically, epically stupid. I am going to stop there because I was about to show my Northern bias
Away with you, politics! I move on to sciencey news!
Evolutionists flock to Darwin-shaped wall stain.
"It's a stain on a wall, and nothing more," said the Rev. Clement McCoy, a professor at Oral Roberts University and prominent opponent of evolutionary theory. "Anything else is the delusional fantasy of a fanatical evolutionist mindset that sees only what it wishes to see in the hopes of validating a baseless, illogical belief system. I only hope these heretics see the error of their ways before our Most Powerful God smites them all in His vengeance."
Itty-bitty nuclear reactors with no moving parts, no weapons-grade radioactive material, and almost no chance of being stolen will be on sale in the not-too-distant future. One plant can power 20,000 homes for 7-10 years, and they're small enough to be moved by truck. So here's my plan for the future: buy an island, buy a baby nuclear plant, come up with a badass flag, and start a country. Livejournal friends get automatic citizenship. xD
Mutation: it can make cheerleaders never die, cops read minds, politicians fly, and cure AIDS... wait, one of these things is not like the others. YOU GUYS. CURE FOR AIDS? It's not like a shot or a pill-- a bone marrow transplant is a big fucking deal!-- but completely clearing an infected person of their viral load is kind of epic!
Also lifesaving, but on a much smaller scale: Woman's life saved by her underwire bra. Serrated knife + underwire = not getting stabbed through the chest. Not bad for a $14 undergarment!
90 year old Chicago woman living with her three siblings... who happen to be dead. One of them dead for over twenty years. May I just say: EW.
Finally, may I suggest Fuck Yeah Sharks to brighten your day?

I am willing to skip December through April and go right to May. Christmas, New Year's, and Easter: not that grete akshully. Star Trek: totally that grete kthx
Anyhow, that's a nice dream... At least tomorrow is Monday, and Monday is Heroes, and Heroes is full of yatta-making fun! I am totes ready for more Elle and a healthy dose of Gabriel Grey, plz.
Right now I am responsible for one-third of the filled prompts for the Heroes page of

Oh. Anti-success I'm not sure I mentioned before: I got the denial from Tuxedo Junction. Apparently I'm not qualified to use a measuring tape, or something? Fuck.
I finished Gears of War: Aspho Fields and I cried. yeah. It was really sad! (yes I'm fucking lame okay whatever) Now I have to finish Dreams From My Father, and after that I think is The Graveyard Book, because Neil Gaiman is awesome and I am 23 years old and still love young adult literature.
Yuletide assignments go out this week, I believe. I'm excited! I put down a lot of fandoms I'd write for, and I didn't limit characters on any of them, so I am really hoping that won't come back to bite me in the ass. Although, last year I did pretty good, if I do say so myself. (ahaha Transformers fic, what.) Whatever, I am being a good internet citizen and trying to make people's dreams come true. I'm just nice that way. :P
...it's not even 10 pm and I'm going to bed. I must be sick. But, I feel it is my duty to bring you good people one more link before I abandon my post for the night.
Sarah Palin offered $2 million to do a porno. No, REALLY. She should take it, how else is she going to be able to buy fancy-people clothes now that they took away her campaigning threads?
