things i like

i like kettles. [as in the chip, not the thing that boils hot water] They're so salty and yum. salt is good. too much salt is bad. salt water is not nice, neither are alligators.

This is the kind of mood i'm in. I'm talking to Ryan on Skype, listening to basshunter [of all things] and still feeling frustrated at not studying.

i voted today. people said on twitter that it was anticlimatic. they were right. it's kind of like... yay you voted. they should have some kind of costumed man that periodically gives out prizes. that would have been great. really change the voting process so it appeals to everyone. people are more likely to vote if they'll get prizes. one of the reasons why little children do the dishes if they'll get chocolate afterwards. i've never thought food bribes were a good idea.

funny how i assumed the costumed person was a man. politics still has this aura of 'masculine' about it, which has more to do with historical power relations than anything else. however, woman are still the largest underrepresented group in politics as well as senior management positions [feminism is a win topic to write about in exams].

political participation is what i'm studying today. which is really ironic because i politically participated today. and i'm reading about who doesn't vote and why and i kind of fall into two of the three categories of people who aren't likely to vote and i still did. yay.. exceptions to the rule are pretty cool.

it's weird that i'm using this blog to brain dump. i try not to reread what i write but i tend to. of course, my grammar won't be perfect. shock. horror. no. visual and audio combined.

i should go and help mum prepare dinner.
