War for the Whitehouse

This presidential election is a big deal, no matter who you're voting for. I hope that everyone who reads this will take some time to look up the candidates if they haven't already and gain an opinion to take to the polls on Nov. 4. To help a little I put a newsreel at the bottom of the page with links to current articles on Barack Obama, John McCain, Joe Biden, and Sarah Palin. The only reason I bring it up is because of the formatting on my page, whichever name is selected on the newsreel doesn't show up because the text is the same color as the background. So it would appear that I've left out a candidate, but I want to assure everyone that's not the case. So scroll down there and see for yourself: as soon as you click on someone their name disappears, but their news articles show up underneath... I can't figure out a way to fix it.

Disclaimer: Although absolutley hilarious, the Onion News and Saturday Night Live are not the most accurate sources for gathering information about the candidates...notice I said "most".

Ooogady-Boogady!

Sorry it's been so long since the last post, but Enoch and I have been spending all of our free time going to haunted houses with Scott,Skip, and Rachel. It's been pretty fun; the last time I went to one was about seven years ago in high school. I'm such a scaredy-cat, though. So far we've been to five haunts this year, a couple indoor and a couple outdoor (including one where they take you on a seven-minute hay ride & drop you off in the middle of freakin' nowhere so they can scare the crap out of you in a cornfield...yeah). Actually, one of those was in a park with three haunted houses inside, so we've really been through seven altogether. Scott likes to try to hit all the local ones every year, and I think they've enjoyed our company so far because I actually get scared and jump and scream (but they don't make fun of me, so that's good.) I haven't wet myself yet though!!! One of the best haunts we've been to is in an old, abandoned hospital and at the exit there's a sign that reads: "If you pee your pants, please let us know, our staff get rewarded for it." No joke! Also one of the haunted villages had a headless horseman on an actual horse gallop past the crowd- I honestly froze in fear for a second or two when I heard that horse coming from behind us in the dark like that!! But after all the haunts, we'll be broke next month so there should be more time to post. Toodles 'till then!
