In which Emily talks about how if you aren't part of the solution, then you're part of the problem.

Could you maybe explain what's in those frames behind you in most of your videos? I'm intrigued...

[ChateauOfADoubt]

@channelwilko on the far left is a print I made called Two Thousand and Six, an the far right is an ink drawing my friend Caroline Corrigan made for me, and the other frames are corkboard so when I find little things that inspire me, I stick them in there. That reminds me, I need to finish my 'greetings from TROY' embroidery!

Definately! This is at the heart of what I am trying to fix in myself. People push you away as hard as you push back. If your negative about other people liking you at all, then you will have a body language and conversation tone that they will reject innately. I feel as if I want to start video blogging, I have creativity I want to unleash on other (unfortunate!) people.

@NeonSloaney unfortunately? get rid of that attitude! And do it. It's not always easy, but it can be really enjoyable.

Voting is compulsory here but yes I agree with your point.

[ChateauOfADoubt]

@genericfirstname do they arrest or fine you if you don't?

[JvLaughsHere]

I can't wait until I'm old enough to vote. Of course then I'll have to be an adult and do adult things like . . . smoke a pipe in front of a fire while reading "The Old Man and the Sea". Which I hated.

I was totally disappointed with Dan 3.0 as well. I never thought of putting things into the randomiser though. But I think my problem with it was the way he handled it, rather than the suggestions themselves.

[saikogrrl]

@ChateauOfADoubt No, but you can get a fine. This is how the phenomenon of the "Donkey Vote" emerged, where lazy people just write "1 2 3 4..." along the boxes, and why they have to randomise the order of the parties on the ballot each time.

[genericfirstname]

@ChateauOfADoubt I honestly don't know, I think you get a please explain and a fine.

uuuummmm this part where Ian replaces you is just fantastic! OK, so, Tuesday is the first time I am going to be abkle to vote ever, and the other day, I was kind of finding it hard to, well, find who's going to be on the ballot. I know for the most part, but I wanted to educate myself about the candidates. I am so excited to be part of a national (well, statewide(?)) election for the first time. I feel like an actual citizen.
