From ev'ry corner of the land: "WOMANKIND, ARISE!"

[changeling]

We're clearly soldiers in petticoats
And dauntless crusaders for woman's votes
Though we adore men individually
We agree that as a group they're rather stupid!

Cast off the shackles of yesterday!
Shoulder to shoulder into the fray!
Our daughters' daughters will adore us
And they'll sign in grateful chorus
"Well done, Sister Suffragette!"

From Kensington to Billingsgate
One hears the restless cries!
From ev'ry corner of the land:
"Womankind, arise!"
Political equality and equal rights with men!
Take heart! For Missus Pankhurst has been clapped in irons again!

No more the meek and mild subservients we!
We're fighting for our rights, militantly!
Never you fear!

So, cast off the shackles of yesterday!
Shoulder to shoulder into the fray!
Our daughters' daughters will adore us
And they'll sign in grateful chorus
"Well done! Well done!
Well done Sister Suffragette!"

-"Sister Suffragette", Richard B. and Robert M. Sherman.

heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!
I've been singing that song all night!

Also, we need "Rah Rah Revolutionaries" icons.
OMG THAT WAS SO TOTALLY TOO COOL.

Why do I have the urge to learn lines with you and act that out?????

(nano is hard)

I've always loved that song. *puts it on repeat ... IN MY BRAIN*

Ooh. Yes!

Because it would be enormously fun?

*excecuted!* (which I hear in Strongbad's voice, like "deleted!")

(I KNOW. My brain is tweaking and I can't concentrate. So far behind, though ... )

(I'm making myself hit 3000 a day to catch up, >_< wow, check out the standard droop)

I wish I could write 2000 a day, let alone 3000. I'm so behiiiind. Hey, want to do an overnighter at my place tomorrow night? I can get you a computer.

Ermm, sure. If I manage 6,000 that doesn't include sentences that begin "They spent the next day writing filler..." (which only ONE of mine does, that you very much concious) I'll be super happy. Get on IM so we can organise pleashe?

(I feel like I haven't seen you in aaaaaaaaaaaaaages)

I haven't been able to walk anywhere for the last few days because of that song... I've been proudly marching. XD

I deny that I have just been sketching a soldier in petticoats. With a shako.
