He is my new political idol. Furrealz. Move over Dick Cheney, Rahm-bo's got my attention now.

(lame.)

In other other news, however, I would like to inform my entire F-list and more that I am still alive. I know I haven't been around lately and several of you have informed me that you thought I had disappeared off the face of the Earth. No, still here (you're not getting off that easily). I am settled into my new room and my new apartment and, so far, I haven't killed Oliver so we're looking at smooth sailing for a while at least.

( keep on moving. )

1. Reply to this post and I'll assign you a letter.
2. List (and upload, if you feel like it) 5 songs that start with that letter.
3. Post them to your journal with these instructions.

1. 4 A.M. Forever - Lostprophets
2. 4 Minutes - Madonna
3. 4 in the Morning - Gwen Stefani

[But I thought I was well-read.D:]

1001 Books You Must Read Before You Die: Bold the books you've read; italicize the ones you have and/or intend to read in the near future.

( 1001 Books You Must Read Before You Die )

It looks like a cool list to try and get through.

The male anglerfish latches on to a female near her stomach area. He fuses his mouth to her body and proceeds to atrophy into a pair of gonads. During ovulating season, the gonads ejects sperm into the female. To stay alive, the male anglerfish feeds off what the female eats. Gives a whole new meaning to the word leech.

Also, flatworms engage in penis-fencing. Since flatworms are hermaphrodites, come mating season, they engage in a battle and the first to get pierced is actually turned into the female for the season. Battle of the sexes, anyone?
