Sparktober (YAY!) and election circus (GRR!)

[mylittleredgirl]

aj compiled a sampler tray of her Sparky ficlet fabulousness here at sparktober!

sparktober has been a bit light so far, and I'm sorry. :( I felt kinda shy (I KNOW, ME?) about bringing the squeee without mah executive committeh (*shakes fist* avengeeeeers!) because then I feel like I'm being all me me me all the time meeeeee. I'm gonna get over that! This is going to RAWK!

Also holding me back: THIS ELECTION THING. I feel a little personally involved during this particular election season, being that I am in possession of one free-range vagina and would rather that men I've never met have no legislative authority over what I do with it. There's an awful lot of campaign rage to get through every day, you know?


Our politics and personal beliefs may not align, but you've got to admit that is one ridiculous freaking photo for a sitting congressman to pose for in a magazine article, right?

It's distracting me from things I would like to be focusing on, like my Sparktober bingo card. But there's a VP debate on tonight featuring incumbent Joe "WHAT Did He Just Say?" Biden and the challenger Paul "That's Me In The Picture Above" Ryan, so I sort of feel obliged. You?

I just love that she actually asked legitimate questions and called Paul Ryan out on his bullshit. WOMEN FOR PRESIDENT. Surely someone on Tumblr will make awesome gifs of her slamming home question after question and then Paul Ryan's reaction faces of D'OH and ERM, and then we can spread that around and show why she deserves EVERYTHING. ;)

Drink tea from your anr mug of awesome! Because, um, Elizabeth drinks tea? This will inspire you? I DON'T KNOW BUT I FEEL STRONGLY ABOUT IT.

Ooooh! I'm going to make tea and put it in the mug right nowwww!

I love that she called BOTH of them on stuff and was like NO SRSLY. ANSWER MY QUESTION. HUSH MR. VICE PRESIDENT YOU'LL GET A CHANCE. And then "PAUL RYAN, DO YOU EVEN HAVE A PLAN??? IS THAT WHY YOU WON'T TELL US?" Oh god I LOVE HER.
