Bill
So it's been a week of meeting political heavy hitters. Got to hang out with none other than Bill last night. Clinton, that is. Wow. My absolute favourite politician ever and I finally get to see him in the flesh. And profess my undying love for him.
Anyway, Chelsea is in town today but I have to work. Starting next Wednesday though and all the way heough the 4th, I'm taking time off to campaign. If I want to see change in this country via MY candidate of choice, taking a week off to support her in my state is the least I can do.
Also, boy front looking good. Yay!
Y'all have an awesome weekend!

Don’t Be Fooled
I’ve been a bad little blogger in the past few days, terribly sorry. Have been busy campaining for my new candidate of choice. Today, that job included subjecting myself to acting like I was drinking the koolaid. Don’t worry, I didn’t swallow. But I do have a sunburn, so I’ll definitely be going with the candidate who actually HAS a plan to cover all Americans in the event of, say, skin cancer or any other terrible disease or illness instead of the one who just TALKS about things.
I did get some good photos, even if they’re just off the ‘berry.
Also, look for me in the footage on any of the major cable outlets. Yea, I’m there in pretty much every shot on tv. Gold star to you if you can find my beautiful visage!
The man who, if running for Toastmasters, would be the best candidate.
However, all he can do is talk. And talk some more. I want concrete PLANS not platitudes!
The best thing I saw all day!
Random Friday Bullets
1. I just have to ask: what the fuck prompts someone to walk into a lecture hall and shoot it up like you were in some wild, wild west gun fight? Was university really that bad? Did your professor say something that made you think that death was the only option? Seeing that it was [redacted] day, did it involve the love of your life spurning you? If so, is this the way to deal with your unrequited love issues? Let me ask you: are you any further in getting your point across? No. You're dead and you suck for thinking this was your only choice.
2. [Redacted] day ended up sucking less than anticipated. I spent the evening with some rabid yellow dog democrats talking about the upcming primary. Was a lot of fun to revel in the fact that for once, our state's delegates will really make a difference. They always do in the final tally, seeing that we have well over 200 of them to distribute, but usually by this time in the race, we already have a good idea of the nominee, but this year? Gonna be a photo finish, me thinks. Yay! for finally having a vote that matters. Maybe this year I'll get to vote for a winner. Third time lucky, I say.
3. Some friends and I are going to have an anti-[redacted] party this evening. Can't wait. I was telling all my friends yesterday that it wasn't the 14th in my world because I was in a parallel universe where it was already the 15th – the things we do when we're in denial, haha – so it's good to be back in my home universe where it really is the 15th. And Friday!
4. For those who are wondering, all is still well on the boy front. I mean, we're still undefined and that still sucks, but me being cryptic has nothing to do with him and everything to do with someone else. Still on for seeing him next month.
5. Perhaps I'll have even better news about SxSW soon? I dunno. An opportunity was presented to me Wednesday evening. We'll see if it pans out. And yes, more of AlieMalie being cryptic. If this thing comes to fruition, I won't be able to shut up about it, trust you me. Thank me now that I'm not blathering on about it already.
6. Speaking of SxSW, happy birthday to one of the coolest bloggers out there and my SxSW buddy. Hope you have an awesome birthday, christielli! If you haven't visited her blog, do so. She's witty, smart and has the best taste in music. She's also Canadian which earns her an infinite number of points in my book. I'd link to her here but I'm not in a place where I can do html. Find her up there towards the top.

Boycotting
You know that it’s [redacted] today, don’t you? After all, the entire drive into work consisted of one sappy [four letter word] song after another. Driving from school one to school two again consisted of at least four more [same four letter word] songs. And now? That I’m home? And trying to will time to go a bit faster so that it’ll be February 15th sooner? You continue to play any song that happens to have [again with the four letter word] in the title. Is this really necessary? Did you not get the memo that I’m boycotting this holiday? And why the hell is it considered a holiday anyway? I don’t get the day off. Not that I’d want the day off, then I’d just continue to be bummed at home but then I’d have nothing to distract me from over analysing everything. Why am I asking you this? You’re just an iPod.
Anyway, here’s the memo in case you missed it: Valentine’s day? It doesn’t exist in AlieMalie-land, adjust your playlist accordingly.
Yours truly,
AlieMalie
Welcome, Crazy
Last night, I answered my phone and was told something that caused my stomach to tie itself into 7 kinds of knots. Instantaneously. And to think I was actually pretty mellow beforehand: I’d been chilling out with a friend of mine, watching pointless tv at her apartment and cooling down from a decent workout and a healthy meal. I was feeling pretty fine. And then BAM! A knot big enough to tie off the heaviest anchor Her Majesty’s Navy might have. I had trouble falling asleep because I was so wound up about it and then this morning I ended up waking up long before my alarm was set to go off and all day today I’ve been stewing about it. Why can’t I just let it go? Do you know how hard it is to be cheerful with a lot of 5th graders when you can’t stop thinking about how much you’d like to wring someone’s neck?
It’s been so long since I’ve been in a healthy relationship that I’m seriously wondering if they’re worth it. Are they? Sometimes I think it’d just be easier to stay single for the rest of my life than deal with things like the crazy paying a visit for no damn reason. And then then there’s Valentine’s Day which makes me depressed each and every year and has me back to square one with regards to thinking that I DO want a relationship. How is it that a 25 year old like me has never had a Valentine? Sucks, eh?
