if everyone could vote

my awesome friend sent me this url, and it's this site some icelanders made where you either vote for obama or mccain by pressing a button and see who would win if everyone could vote. Please vote! then click on the results afterwards.

and also, just thought this fit in perfectly with my blog.

here's my most favoritest obama quote---

"Why can't I just eat my waffle?"

-Barack Obama, after being asked a foreign policy question by a reporter while visiting a diner in pennsylvania.

The cars crawl past all stuffed with eyes

two nights ago my friend from LA visited. She brought along dried persimmons from her tree. Mmm. Especially with a piece of chocolate. If you haven't tried it, you must! It's divine.

Also---

look at this picture I found wandering around.

Last weekend, my family and I went out to the Queens Flushing Mall(we live in Manhattan). It is the most amazing place. Once you're in there, it's like you've gone to China. If someone blindfolded me and drove me around for a while and told me I was in another country, save for the Starbucks around the corner. I have never been so relieved to see a Starbucks in my life. So you get into the mall, and immediately you are met with an enormous bridal shop. You walk up this twisty-turny staircase with glass walls, and you are on a balcony, over looking the food court. When you go to the bathroom, there are signs telling you not to vomit in the sinks, please. Seriously! Then there is this wonderful little chinese food store that has all sorts of strange ingredients that my dad felt he must buy though who knows when he will use them. And past that is... Toyqube! It's part of a whole not-so-underground-any-longer vinyl toy thing, that started with the japanese, like so many other things. There are other little toys to be gotten, at places like strangekiss or kidrobot. But, going on, we come to the food!

There is a man pulling noodles--he takes a lump of dough and stretches it, folds

it over, stretches, folds over, and twirls, till there are lots over very long strands of noodles, which he then plops into a ginormous vat of soup. omg, delicious! Then fried dough sticks--literally, that's all they are, no sugar or anything! and then the bean fish. these soft cookie things in the shapes of fish with this sweet bean paste in the middle. to die for! And, if you think it can't get better, there is also a 99 cents store, where everything is actually 99 cents! A miracle!

turning into butterflies above our nation

So, I think I will start by talking about Halloween, the time where we all(except the partypoopers) dress up and go to get candy, or, if they are grown up, give candy. Or go to parties or host parties. But that's besides the point! The point is, My friends and I (we are all in the seventh grade at the best school ever) are going to be peace love and happiness. I'm love. I don't want to wear just a cut out haert, I'd much rather be something that would symbolize it, like my friend Sema, who is being peace, is wearing a long ty-died shirt and a long white wig, which says peace quite well, but doesn't have peace signs everywhere. I, on the other hand, do not have that talent, and I am stuck, aside from this picture--

but, you know. This post has become a boring flop. I should work on that, but I have not time now. so, toodles!
