i did it! I got eight whole, more-or-less consecutive hours of sleep last night!--first time in I don't know how long. It happen'd from 8:00 p.m. to 4:00 a.m., but otherwise it was blessedly normal. My other cat, Katzo, slept beside me, as close as he could manage. His modus operandi is to be close to th humans @ all times and to let th humans

oh good mario!! I was actually really worried about this. So whats your campaign strategy? Whats the competition like? Has anyone ever even HEARD of deathboy???
jk, he got a lot of votes

do you have any immediate plans to release an lj user icon in support of this election?

is there a question in th back there

[lostcosmonaut]

well, bearandsnake, voting will be in instant-runoff style, which means everybody will be voting for 3 candidates, ranked in order of preference.

So th strategy will be to get as many people as possible to vote lostcosmonaut as Number 1, and a couple underdogs as Numbers 2 and 3. That will be every candidate's strategy.

As for my own personal strategy, I don't know yet. I'm pretty sure my frenz are th smartest on el jay, and most tolerant of linguistic/temporal/ideological fuckery, which is nice, but whoever wins th election will probably have to get more than frenz votes, so ah'll have to communicate a little differently than ah normally do, probably.

I didn't have plans to release a special icon until you brought it up, but now I definitely do have plans. Mebbe zomeone w/ better 'Shop skills can assist me!?

Here are th Qs el jay sent me as a guideline for what voters might want to know:

1) What do you think is the value of LJ

B. As of earlier today, 16 other people. All candidates' usernames/speeches will be linked from lj_election_en and/or its profile page in th coming days, ah think

C. Packed week-end: cousin's wedding. Not sure if ah'll get enough personal time to hang out w/ non-family, but ah'ma def give that dude a call.

D. I didn't make that up. I guess because of th Russians
