Dead people should not be allowed to read this blog

Hello from halfway through the semester! I only really know that because the bi-term Yoga class I’m taking with Jill and Amy starts tomorrow. I’m pretty excited about it. For one thing, I get friendship, which is always awesome, and for another, I think the subject is going to be pretty cool as well. Other than that, Jill, Anna Beth, Amy, and I went to Jackson’s Orchard on Saturday. It was fun, but we didn’t stay all that long because a ton of people were there, so lines were too long to really do anything. After that we went to see Rachael at her job. Where she gets to sample chocolate. And generally be around chocolate all the time. You have, like, the best job ever, Rachael. And then Jill and AB came to my house so we could finally watch the most recent episodes of Doctor Who! That was fun. I feel like this season has been kind of disappointing and lower quality than previous seasons, regarding plot and character development and stuff, but the last one was an improvement on the first few. But now we have to wait until Christmas for anything else :/
In other awesome news, tickets for VidCon go on sale Monday! It’s hard to believe, but we’re finally getting to the point where we can take concrete steps toward our road trip, like booking the hotel room and buying our tickets! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Yes, that was, in fact, an entire sentence of exclamation points. That’s really the only way I can describe the awesomeness that is afoot.
I don’t want to overload you too much on all the cool stuff that’s going on, though, so I’ll wrap up the actual blog-y portion to save room for the awesomeness that is Question Tuesday!

Rachael:
Do you think Expect Squirrels will ever be completed?
*sigh* I hope so. Maybe once I’ve completed my NaNoRiMo project it will be a little more likely?
Do you want to be in a flash mob?
Sure :)
Have you had Panda Express yet?
Nope. Perhaps we should go there this Friday?
Would you eat chocolate off the Doctor’s abs?
… I’m going to say probably not. I like chocolate, but not that much.

Sigmund Freud:
Would you film a sex scene (in which you’re only acting, not actually doing it) with a man of your choice for a million dollars if you were ensured that no one would ever see it?
Absolutely not.
Furthermore, would you do said sex scene and show it to your parents if it meant that all the babies on earth would die if you failed to do so? (Not all babies ever, just the ones on earth at the moment).
Really? Really? It’s not like I can let all the babies in the world die! But ick. That’s just mean. Why are you asking me such questions? Aren’t you a little busy being dead and all?
 
Jill:
If you could only eat chocolate by eating it off your friends, would you?
I dunno, maybe if I really wanted chocolate and it was really thick so that I wouldn’t actually get down to skin or anything. But this would definitely significantly reduce my chocolate intake :(
Is it good to have a “crappy” colon?
Jill asked this a couple of weeks ago, but apparently my answer was not sufficient for her. So, if we’re talking literally here, I suppose it is indeed good, seeing as that’s the colon’s job. Better a crappy colon than a appy lung or heart or other organ that does not deal with waste disposal. Speaking in the metaphorical sense, though, a crappy colon would be like a crappy anything else- nonfunctional and generally no good.
Happy now? I told you I couldn’t come up with a funny answer to a funny question.

Anna Beth
If you could change one thing about the American political system, what would it
be?

Well, there’s certainly a lot that could do with improvement. If we’re talking hypothetically here, I’d like to make it where politicians couldn’t lie- everything out of their mouths had to be absolute truth, no twisting figures or sugarcoating the facts. Then we could see which
candidates would really be best for the country.
I don’t know if that counts, though, seeing as ’s probably not possible. Unless we want to start using lie detector tests o  something? I guess, realistically, we could get rid of the Electoral College and just have a straight vote. But I still feel like the lying thing would b  much more beneficial…
Have you seen the Dalek in the Cherry Hall bathroom?
I haven’t, but it sounds pretty awesome.
Why don’t you watch Once Upon a Time?
I watch too much television as it is :/
What part of VidCon are you the most excited about?
I don’t even know! There’s just so much awesomeness to look forward to! Probably seeing in person some of the YouTubers I watch on my computer will be the coolest part.
What are you going to be for Halloween?
A college student.

And that’s all for this week! Anna Beth wins favorite, because she’s the only one who didn’t ask me about sex or licking chocolate off of people. Seriously, you guys are weird…

 Love you!
 Sara

What do you watch besides Doctor Who and Bones? And NCIS, you still watch that, right?

I think the only problem with the lying politician solution is that politicians a lot of the time aren't outright lying. You all know my dislike of politics and all the corruption and just plain party annoyances, but a lot of politicians are at least trying to do what they think is best for the county.
But if you're talking about the debates and how a lot of what they were saying was inaccurate, then can that just be chalked up to ignorance. Oooo. there's a question tuesday question. Is it lying if you don't actually know the truth? I feel like we've talked about this before.
(not that ignorance is acceptable for presidential candidates. perhaps your solution can be modified to include indicating anytime they say something untrue whether or not they know or just believe if it's true)

I was going back through old blogs to count up favorites (I'm currently at 11 wins!), and I found this lovely little tidbit:

In general, I would say that a date is a meeting between two people where there is a mutual acknowledgement of feelings on both sides, and thus a recognition by both that they are, in fact, on a date. The exception to this rule deals with the friends of either party. The mutual feelings and acknowledgement are not required for the friends (in fact, its absence is more preferable), who are then allowed to tease unmercifully for as long as they wish."

Just thought you'd appreciate that, since we were recently debating the whole what-is-a-date question. =)

Yup! It means you guys can tease all you want, but it wasn't a date :)

I take exception to your title. Also, I'm never too busy to talk about sex!

I agree with Freud about the title. How dare you exclude the dead from your readership? I challenge you to a duel!

Yeah. How discriminatory.

Not discriminatory. Just factual. Being dead is supposed to take up a lot (in fact, all) of your time. If you're using some of that precious time to read and comment on this blog, then you are being very remiss in your duties as a dead person. I'm merely trying to make sure you do your deadness its due justice.

What if they're only mostly dead?

If plants could talk, would you still eat them?
Also, what plant do you think would be the most talkative?
