Truth, Lies, Parliament (and a TV Meme)

[nos4a2no9]

1. I have much, much love for love_jackianto and me_maneuver, who have created a whole host of very beautiful covers for my stories. I'll be posting links soon (damn Netfirms! I curse you and your unreliable upload system!) but for now...yes, lots of love for these very talented ladies.

2. I said yesterday that I was enjoying Gabaldon's Dragonfly In Amber much more than

I am SO EXCITED about Harper getting rolled. I've never been able to watch that happen before. \o/ If only my horrible government was rollable. /o\

[nos4a2no9]

Heh, that WOULD be great - I'm just a little confused about how it's supposed to work. I mean...they get permission from the Crown, right? (Or, okay, the Governor General). I really need to read up on parliamentary procedure.

[the_antichris]

If it works like other Westminster systems, they force a vote of no confidence, or vote down a supply bill, which means Harper can no longer govern, and then they head off to the GG all like, hey dude, we has a functional majority. And then NO MOAR WEASELFACE.

[nos4a2no9]

Heee! YOU should write a book on Parliamentary procedure!

In the traditional form of Coalition Governments, the party who holds the greatest number of seats is typically the one whose Party Leader becomes the PM.

Regarding the meme...

01 - Due South -Jack: Sense of humour, generally awesome, but also actually highly competent
02 - Torchwood -Tosh: An underestimated supergenius
03 - Firefly -Shepard: You wouldn't hurt a fly, honest! (kapow!)
04 - Deadwood -pass
05 - The West Wing -pass
06 - The Office (US) -pass
07 - Battlestar Galactica (2005) -pass
08 - Angel -That Green Demon with the Karaoke bar: For reasons unknown.
09 - Star Trek: Deep Space Nine -Miles: Honest.
10 - Six Feet Under -pass

Awesome! I am very happy to contain both elements of Miles O'Brien and that green demon from the karaoke bar :-)

[bakaknight]

Well, obviously!

[bohemian__storm]

You're totally like Michael Scott.

No, really.

Actually, I think you're probably most like Toby. Accidentally dorky and really sweet and adorable and impossible to dislike. Unless you're Michal Scott, of course. :D

[nos4a2no9]

Heee! I can totally deal with being Toby. But Michael? Yeesh. Besides, YOU wouldn't hang out with a Michael Scott (for you suffer no fools) so I think I'm safe.

You, on the other hand, are either an Oscar (voice of reason) or a Jim (imp! You are an imp!)

Hmmm ... I know that you are totally Elaine (DS) Simon (FF) Sam (WW) and Athena (BSG), but I have NO clue who you are in Angel or Torchwood! Not because I have difficulties seeing you fighting aliens (or even going all darkside) but because none of them quite go darkside in a way that I can see you going. Clearly this requires more pondering. *g*

(And I got your card today! *twirls you around* It made me irrationally happy. :-D)

[nos4a2no9]

Dude, it's true - I can go darkside, but...I'd hate to make a fuss, y'know? All the shouting is beyond me :-)

Yay! I'm glad the card arrived! \o/

[me_maneuver]

*blushes* You are too kind. I love your fics!

Hmmmm... I guess I'd have to say
Gwen - strong smart with an awesome sense of humor
Kaylee - a great personality who deals well with a ton of pressure
CJ - just totally kicks ass
Season 2 Cordelia - Fun, helpful and very witty

I'm at a loss for the rest of them. :)

[nos4a2no9]

Well, that is a pretty damn good list right there. I particularly like the fact that I am a kicker of asses! \nos/
