Memeage, observations and some feistiness
1. It's finally starting to feel like autumn here. We had our first killing frost 2 nights ago. I think that's about 2 weeks later than usual. /random weather observation
2. Word Nerds, we've got a "Partners in Giving" charity program at work, where you can donate money to a gazillion charities (or just a few) via payroll deduction. I signed up for next year and included the Brain Cancer Foundation of America as one of my 7 designated charities. GO, ADAM :)

Your result for What's your key signature?...
C# Minor
C Sharp. C sharp run. You'd only know I was reusing this joke from C# Major's headline if you cheated.
Congratulations, you’re C-Sharp Minor, a tricky little bastard of a key, if I do say so myself. Considering the press time that C# Minor’s relative major of E Major gets, you’d expect this key to get more airtime in the musical scene. Alas, it is not to be. The key is a little devil, being at least somewhat difficult to play on almost every instrument. Guitars can shred through E Major, but the base chords for C# Minor are just a bit harder. Pianos can try E, but this key has them fumbling all over the place between the root on a black key and random white keys everywhere else. And we won’t even get started on the poor woodwind players.
You’re probably a bastard as well, playing pranks on people and selecting all the dumb answers you could in the quiz you just took. Don’t lie, you did that on purpose, didn’t you? Even if you didn’t tone it down, asshole. :D
SONG EXAMPLE: Livin’ La Vida Loca by Ricky Martin (That Ricky Martin was a bastard too, you know)
INTERESTING TIDBIT:
* Really the only reason this key is ever used in classical musical literature can be chalked up as people trying to imitate Beethoven. After his Moonlight Sonata in C# Minor was released, it started getting slight amounts of use. But still not too much.

4. Political stuff: My Sarah Palin baby name and that idiot in South Carolina.
A. I just plugged my birth name into the Sarah Palin Baby Name Generator. If I were born to Sarah Palin, my name would be "Timber Challenger Palin." Alas, I am afraid of heights, so I won't be challenging any timber, or climbing it either. Also, I felt the need to add another name. So you can call me Timber Challenger Hussein Palin. I would fit in perfectly at Mudflats.
B. "Liberals hate real Americans." Shut up, you ignorant clump of used cat litter. Or keep talking; the Hate Talk Express is doing a great job of driving people to contribute to Obama's campaign. PWND.
