Why do I do it?

OK as this blog is advertised about the internet pretty liberally I'll start with an explanatory bit of sorts, even though most of you will know this.

1) I am a politics student. Whilst not very studious I know politics and am into politics and get a bit different and excitable when discussing it and being involved in it. Where it not for the fact that I am sometimes slightly disgusted with the way my mind works when it gets going in political mode I'd be really keen on going into PR or politics.

2) I'm a citizen of an internet country called Lovely ( http://citizensrequired.com for the official website which hasn't been updated in ages and links to the official forum that's been locked for a while as there is some legal stuff being sorted out, http://citizensrequired.org for a link to all the sites that have been created in relation to the country, including many forums that are now being worked on).

OK with those two things in place let me tell you this. Lovely is approaching a time of election as the Prime Ministers only have 6 monthly terms. There is allot of uncertainty about this as with the main boards closed we've scattered to a variety of other forums as some citizens had an argument prior to closure and some are still pissed with each other.

I've watched growing increasingly frustrated as people were generally being idiots over standing for election and proposing ideas that I really couldn't envisage working with things how they were, or even if they did work achieving anything beyond being something that worked yet didn't achieve anything. Thus I decided to go into Lovely Politics and gone about the campaigning in such a way that I've basically posted on every forum I could be arsed to find (5 of them) a unique post (though covering the same ground) expressing my intention to run for prime minister and then covering my broad vision which is basically unifying the country again and making it more country like.

This has taken me into the early hours of the morning and yet I cannot sleep as I am scheming. I desperately want people to be awake and responding and doing stuff so that I can make my next moves and progress the campaign onwards. I don't even know when or if this election will come into being. I enjoy it, it'll be exercising my mind and it's not terrible. But I scare myself with how easily I fall into things and how excited political things get me. It's not normal. I'm too lazy to harbour dreams of being involved in politics to any significant degree yet it seems to be my calling to a degree. However much I like writing and stuff, other than making jokes and people laugh, having a manipulative edge and thinking in a Machiavellian is the only thing to come naturally to me.
