A hug would be nice. I don't drink, lol. The flavor of alcohol makes me seriously sick. On the plus side, I know I'll never be an alcoholic, lol.
Oh gosh, that would piss everyone off, wouldn't it? I was seriously rooting for Ron Paul last election. Both McCain and Obama were too extreme for my tastes. I think I sat out on the last election.
Agreed in respect to politics. Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to matter which party a politician belongs to because so many of them forget the reason they're there - to represent their constituents. There's no reason for the constant back and forth bickering, name calling, and accusations. I would love it if they would just focus on their jobs instead of making the whole process a joke that's on par with the catty cliques in junior high.
Fanfiction.net... Admittedly, I'm guilty of ripping on certain fics (but I do that regardless of which site they're posted on), and I'll likely never post there again for issues with the administration, but the site itself is a wonderful platform for newer writers to develop their skills. And I've found more than a few good fics there, posted by experienced writers who still prefer to archive in a place that reaches the widest audience.
I know I'm being really idealistic up there with my politics rant. But I happened to be reading a news article and they mentioned how terrible the Republican party was and I was like "I can't believe how unprofessional this newspaper is!" And that's what brought this on, lol.
As for ff.net...There are definitely terrible stories written on ff.net, I won't deny it all. And of course, dealing with the people who run around and exist just for causing writers trouble also pisses me off. But I just get tired of hearing these comments that encourage people to write off ff.net completely. There's still quality stuff to be found over there.

Seriously, I agree with both rants.
Let me tell you, the one sure-fire way to can piss off everyone politically is to tell them you're a Libertarian. LOL
