At least I know they've just been in a shoe all day.

Though socks are the way to go regardless. :P

I know, but various media seems to make it seem like it's abnormal NOT too. Just one example is Family Guy. Do they EVER take off their shoes when they go into houses? Nope. Maybe I'm just not paying attention to people's feet of all things in shows but I don't see people doing it that often in shows either.

To be fair, we did talk about it yesterday and it got dragged on to talk about shoes after that XD;

Well, I'm pretty sure they don't splurge on animation for Family Guy so minor actions like that just wouldn't even be on their radar. :P I'd say sitcoms and the like would be a better marker of it but they'd probably cut those scenes anyway even if they did make it in since putting shoes on and taking them off is really boring to watch.

It's not really celebrated outside of GB anyway, right? :P The only reason I know it's even vaguely a thing is because of that movie that came out. Not that I've even seen that, haha.

Oryx November 5th, 2012 8:00 PM

Yeah in the US the extent of it is making a Facebook status usually, and maybe a group viewing of the movie. No one cares much beyond that.

I am disappointed in you.

Shoes are the best thing in the world.

Plumpyfoof November 5th, 2012 8:45 PM

I like going barefoot wherever I go. I avoid walking in mud and stuff but at least I don't have to take them on and off.
But I suppose I do like shoes when I'm going out somewhere fancy.

I will admit that in animations when characters are putting on their shoes, I find it fascinating to see the movement captured in different styles.

But when I wrote that, I was thinking of the glacial pace my roommate ties his shoes at and I absolutely hate waiting for him when it takes so long. :P

I only wear shoes when I go outside... most of my inside time is spent barefoot.

And I hate it when mud spoils my shoes, ruins their "new shoes" factor.

Oryx November 5th, 2012 9:39 PM

Once when I was a kid I tried to run away for fun (have you ever read The Boxcar Children? They have loads of fun), and I realized halfway down the street that I had forgotten shoes and probably needed them so I stopped and played instead.

Cherrim November 5th, 2012 9:40 PM

:( The first scuff or stain on a new pair of shoes is always a bit sad. After I pass that threshold though, I tend to not care at all. I really only wear running shoes so if they get dirty, I just let them stay dirty.

I also ran away once. Or started to, at any rate. Packed a suitcase with all my clothes and things I needed and dragged it out of my room... only to realize I needed to get it down the stairs and I gave up and went to play on the computer instead. I forget why I was running away.

Netto Azure November 5th, 2012 10:15 PM

Well we're in the time that shall decide the course of history for the next 4 years lol.

Should be a fun day.

Seki November 6th, 2012 1:17 AM

Go and vote you Americans! People from other countries don't even have a chance to vote, so vote wisely and be contented that you got the chance to vote.

Australians are required by law to vote. I really couldn't care less about voting, I think the politicians should sort it out themselves and let the public decide on their salary.

Treecko November 6th, 2012 2:38 AM

I'm mainly voting today just to get it over with. Not saying I'm misinformed or undecided, I basically know who or what I'm voting for, I just want the election to be done with no matter who wins. This honestly has been the most tiring one yet. I'm tired of all of it and want today to end quickly.

Oryx November 6th, 2012 5:09 AM

I know I probably should be but for various reasons I'm fairly confident in my prediction of who's going to win so I'm not worried about it at all, lmao.

Ivysaur November 6th, 2012 7:18 AM

According to the guys from the University of Princeton, Obama has a 99.2/100% chance of getting reelected so well XD You can be confident I guess.

Oryx November 6th, 2012 7:20 AM

Yeah the creator of the Huffington Post pollster model puts Obama at 91.4%. I'm just...confident. :3 I actually like the live feed HuffPo has going on because it has the interesting things like "a woman broke her leg in front of her polling place. Her husband carried her in to vote."

Meganium November 6th, 2012 7:23 AM

Totally voting today, good thing is that my polling place is the same place where I go to school at. xD I'll be heading there in a few min!

alisaie November 6th, 2012 7:39 AM

Sadly I don't think I'll be voting unless I hurry and go vote while my mom is still obsessing over cleaning the house and not going to work. Sucks having three drivers and only two cars.

Oryx November 6th, 2012 7:46 AM

Are neither of the other drivers voting either? :(

My mom was gonna vote absentee even though she lives in Jersey because polls suck and you can vote absentee no matter what in our state. I mean, if our ballots didn't get messed up. XD

alisaie November 6th, 2012 7:54 AM

Nope. My mom doesn't vote and my brother is only seventeen. Even if he was eighteen he wouldn't have the time to vote because he has band practice after school. :c

Shiny Celebi November 6th, 2012 9:16 AM

Me and my mom are going to vote at 2. Yeah, I know, it's important so that's why Im going to :) So everyone that is able to in USA go vote if you can!

Esper November 6th, 2012 9:57 AM

I'm gonna vote after work. It kinda sucks that my work is doubling as a polling station, but not the one I have to go to otherwise I could just hop out on my break.

Shiny Celebi November 6th, 2012 2:40 PM

Ugh thats annoying, I had to go to the local high school to vote, and yet there is a church right down the road from my house that held voting and if that was my polling place, I couldve walked, oh well :(

Mr Cat Dog November 6th, 2012 3:10 PM

I reeeeeeeally want Romney to win Florida. If he does, my chances of winning £150 in the office sweepstakes rises exponentially. If Obama takes it, there's virtually no chance of that happening. So, I'm staying up to hear the Florida results just for that! :D
