‘I find your strong attachment to a working democracy to be extremely sexy…’

So, how about that dictatorship happening in Pakistan Fiji? Now, as a [feckless] student of the law, I’m all about legal order and civil rights and that, but come on, who hasn’t dreamed of power and domination? True, my fantasies are more skewed towards global domination, but one country- even if only an island nation - is still pretty impressive.

It is a little horrifying at the moral level but infinitely fascinating in the way of wish fulfilment to contemplate being the one staging a coup, removing the elected leader and installing yourself in his place. Then, when the courts label your government illegal, simply FIRING ALL THE JUDGES and REVOKING THE CONSTITUTION, which effectively hands back control of the country to- you. What a power trip! Imagine the bragging rights- ‘I revoked the frakking constitution’. DUDE. There is very little that can possibly compete with the inherent awesome of that one line.

 

( Now I don’t claim to have the most balanced, considered or informed opinion around. I’m not a politician or anything, you've probably guessed this is a less than serious perspective on the situation. This is just my opinion, ‘k? Please don’t slam me for supporting civil rights abuse, I just thought it was an interesting topic to consider.  )

Onto a shallower and infinitely prettier subject, Summer Glau, dancing! I was all kinds of gleeful at that brief ballet scene in TSCC, so I'm thrilled to see this!

She is so amazing. *sighs* Guess how jealous I am right now? >:P

What song would you choose as the theme song for your life?

The first song that popped into my head is Iris, by the Goo Goo Dolls. The song as a whole is not applicable to me, but the lines:
'And I don't want the world to see me, 'coz I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's made to be broken, I just want you to know who I am...'

Made to be broken. I LOVE that. That about sums up life in general.

Songs that as a whole do apply...I turn to Linkin Park. Because I can empathize with almost every song they write, it's crazy awesome how so many people can read their lives into these lyrics, it means so many different things to so many different people. The ones I best relate to would be:


( *Numb lyrics* )

 
---

( *Faint lyrics* )

---

( *Crawling lyrics* )

Bonus spam:

I watched Beetlejuice over the weekend and I giggle like mad every time I watch that 'Day-o' scene! Wheee!

Side note: you wouldn't believe how many times people have sung this song at me in my lifetime as a pun on my last name. HAHAHA, guys. *eyeroll*

Well, I much prefer it to Michael Jackson's Smooth Criminal. The guys at high school used to randomly go, 'Annie, are you okay'?  I just looked up the song and it freaks me out. The chick's getting attacked or been murdered or something, right? Yikes. I wanna track down these boys and give them a few whacks over the head now, that was so MEAN of them. *pouts*

New fact I didn't know: a suggested meaning for the lyrics includes a reference to the CPR doll that medics train on, which is apparently called Annie. LMAO. She's called 'the most kissed face in the world'. *dies laughing* My name, it amuses me.
