Ok, I can't be November Princess forever.... Boo hoo. But I was princess for a big holiday, Thanksgiving. This year's (in my book) is even bigger! Christmas Princess! Well, actually December Princess but you get it. It's a little early but I couldn't help myself. I will hold the voting off until midnight, December 1st, because that's technically when the day begins and some of you are awake then. Ok, so, yeah! Love, your almost no longer November Princess. My fate awaits.....

Oops, I'm sorry! I titled it 'Princess' without thinking! I meant 'Royalty'. Royalty.

Prince Mekeys
Princess Goldie

Baldur

I nominate matthew as princess for December, I do think he should accept this honor. He would be able to wear the dainty little tiara with the pink rhinestones.

Shanley

just had the elections in my country. i'll nominate Luna for queen for now and goldie for princess since she offered, chinky for prince and....and no vote for the king for now. would have nominated our next president for the princess title, but he's not worthy to be elected as a president, not to mention as TD royalty.

maddyjean08

Ha ha, what do you guys thin is more special, TD Royalty or American Presidency? Wait, did I spell that right?

Shanley

no, no Maddyjean. i wasn't talking about the American presidency. iwas talking about the Romanian one. i'm very dissapointed ...or shall I say I'm disspointed again in the resultof the elections. Many people were offered money to vote and we ended up stuck with the same politicians that are causing political and economical instability.

maddyjean08

Oops, sorry... And plus, I wasn't referring to what you said. I just wondered.... It was just a question, for everyone to answer....

GOLDIEGIRL8

American Presidency (i think) is way cooler. You're famous and (w/ Congress's help) you make laws for the country. Plus you live in a mansion w/ everything a person could want!

polenta

You would have liked the opposition party to have won in Romania then Shanley

Shanley

yes Polenta, one of the oposition parties. (we have quite a few here). i wish peopole would vote more responsably and make a choice based on facts, not just sell their votes like that .

polenta

I wonder how they can sell votes. You can say you will vote something and get paid but then when you are alone you vote whatever you want. This at least would happen here in Uruguay. There is no way someone could know what you vote.

Shanley

no, that's kinda easy actually. u go there, u vote for the one they tell you to, then u take a pic with your mobile phone, show it to them and get paid. the method is well known. plus, there are people who travel to different cities and vote twice or more times.

marg

- you've got to be be joking.. I was in Romania when I was a kid, and what a beautiful country ..

Shanley.. it was 'behind the "Iron Curtain" [communist]', then, but what you just said makes me rather afraid.. are you allowed to make the sort of statement you just did [re. the mobile 'phones] ?

Incredible!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I've not heard it happen here.
I've been thinking though. What if you take a photo with your cellphone and then you empty the envelope and put another candidate's voting sheet that YOU REALLY LIKE inside. If it's only taking a photo, you can cheat. .......................I really can't believe what you've just told us.... I hope nobody spreads this rumor here.... just in case.
In Spanish there is a saying :
HECHA LA LEY, HECHA LA TRAMPA
meaning something like
IF THERE IS A LAW, THERE IS A WAY TO CHEAT THE LAW......

polenta

Well, voting twice is IMPOSSIBLE in Uruguay. At least here there is no cheating possible. When you get your voting document at 17 or 18 they ask you your address and according to it they tell you to vote at a walking distance from your house. If you move, you can change your address. I still vote next to my 20-year old address although I moved but it's quite near and it's fun going back to your old neighborhood. It's impossible to vote anywhere else. So no cheating is possible in this sense.

matthew

We have the same saying here Polenta... "Laws are made to be broken" is how it goes...
