Of course, many will ask if there is such a thing as a good Republican. To which the answer is yes, but the one we elected in 2000 is not precisely a sterling example.
Anyway, in addition to being a slash writer and slash reader (EVOL PRON THAT COULD CORUPT TEH CHILDREN!!!11!ONE), I didn't watch the State of the Union Address last night. I went to see Prof. Downey's concert in the Rat (bar/restaurant in the basement of Hollins' student centre, for non-Hollins people) instead. The flyer said The Chicken Man was going to be there! And it promised Johnny Cash songs! How was I supposed to resist?
I'll read the transcript on the internet, so that I can discuss it intelligently with my classmates and have some more info on which to base my Bush vs. Whomever the Democrats Pick decision next fall.
And now for something completely different (and less likely to make people go "You're a Republican? But they're Eeeevill, and elected Bush, and are closed-minded homophobes and you're a Republican?").
I'm toying with the idea of diving in, surrendering what passes for my social life, and committing myself to a double History/English major. And doing my thesis on Confederate blockade runners during the Civil War (I can see the hellish amounts of research and frustratedly limmited amount of source material now). Since I've also pretty much decided to turn that Civil War X-Men AU idea I had a while ago into original fiction and write a novel, that means that there's probably gonna be lots of time spent doing research in my eventual future. (And that's without taking into account the WWII novel that I truely have to start working on again).
Since I've also got a multi-chaptered PoTC fic plotbunny gnawing on my neck like Bunnicula and a Remus/Sirius OotP AU bunny nibbling at my toes, I really do need to start cracking history books and writing.
