"i've considered radioactive spiders."

julie and i really couldn't get this line out of our systems all day. i should probably add that we were mocking kristen stewart's acting while doing so, so there it is. i almost had a laughing heart attack today during english--seriously, i was on the verge of tears. we were watching the movie version of a play we just finished, a doll's house, and mr. adams had us ad-lib dialogue as he fast forwarded through a few scenes. it was one of those you-had-to-be-there things, but it was absolutely hysterical.

my brother is sleeping on the couch across the room from me, and i'm kind of jealous. i can never take naps, it annoys me so much. it seems like i can't get comfortable until my normal bedtime, which sucks.

inauguration? heck, yes. i don't know if i'd want to be there today, though (my history teacher and one of my english teachers were there), but it was still pretty cool. if i were obama, though, i would've wanted aretha franklin to sing before my being sworn in, not joe biden's. let's hope the slight mess-up during the swearing-in isn't a sign of things to come, though, shall we?

i don't usually do this, but these pictures make me very happy, so here we go.


also, just because he's great, he's the reason i became interested in politics, and i haven't seen him in a while, it seems fitting to give him some props on inauguration day.


and stephen, too. can't forget about him.
