So, on the topic of random things that annoy me is artists who write polls that are really just journal entries in disguise. I'm not talking about a poll asking about what's going on in their life, I'm talking about a poll that just makes statements, like this:
Title: So this happened today
* I thought it was...
* But then this happened...
* Then this...
* And here we are...
As far as I can tell, they use polls like this because they're more likely to get people to read them, which I can understand I suppose. Still, though, every time I see a poll like that, it just annoys me; feels like a kind of underhanded way to game the system. If you want to write a journal, write a journal you guys! That's what they're there for.
Maybe I'm a little OCD about it though.

Favorites now with collections!
Not sure why I spent a few hours organizing my favorites into collections, but hey, why not. Should be easier for me to find stuff I'm looking for at least.
dA: a great place for talking to yourself
I'm starting to gather that dA is not a great place for me to post journals, based on the responses I've been getting. So here's the obligatory journal explaining why I don't post journals here.
Register to Vote (U.S. only)
Hey kids! It's nearing election season again, and I'd like to put out a friendly reminder that you should register to vote, if you haven't already. Even if you don't plan to vote, you should register, so not voting becomes your choice, and not someone else's.
Also, keep in mind that if you live in one of these states, you'll need to provide ID to vote:
Indiana
Florida
Tennessee
Michigan
South Dakota
Idaho
Louisiana
Kansas
New Hampshire
Georgia
Please see http://letmypeoplevote2012.com/ for links to information about what constitutes valid ID for your s
R.I.P. Cynthia
Cynthia (my pet rat) died in her sleep last night due to complications with a tumor. She lived to old age, being 2 years 10 months old by my reckoning. Rest in Peace, little friend.
