won't be haunted by dreams I've deferred

I have received my yuletart assignment! :D It will probably be something of a challenge, but I'm also quite excited about it (naturally).

If my own assigned artist wanders by here . . . I think I probably gave you more prompting than you really need already, so I'm not gonna write out anything long. Just: have fun with it! Please! Feel free to poke through my journal if you want to (there's some squee around for various of my fandoms, some more than others), but there is also no need. I can't wait to see what you come up with, and thank you so much in advance. ♥

So that's two out of three assignments (and yuletide's won't arrive for a couple of weeks yet). I went through my new daily planner (had to get one for work; a good suggestion, I used the hell out of these things in school), marking off "x weeks until y deadline" at the top of every Monday through mid-December. It's going to be a stimulating season, to say the least.

Actually, I think I may be mostly skipping Halloween this year. Sadness, it's true, but I'm oddly okay with the idea . . . much as it's one of my favorite holidays, I didn't really have any brilliant ideas this year, and none of my friends seem to be having their own parties. And I have so much to do, with visitors this weekend and all last week, I could probably use some time to breathe and get a few things done.

My dad sent me this customizable video that's going around; it's a fake future news video about McCain winning the election thanks to one lazy non-voter, [insert your name here]. Dad. >:( I guess he thought it was clever, because he can't have imagined there's any chance I won't vote. I just emailed him and my mother yesterday with that article about disenfranchisement from Rolling Stone.
