Like a drop of rain flowing to the ocean

I feel a bit like a cheerleader today but I expect I'll be pestering everyone who walks into the office with the question, "You've voted, right?" I'd love to see my comments section fill up with folks chiming in after they vote, if you've got details about how many people were in line or how long a wait, please add 'em! Now if only I had some pom-poms.

BTW, as promised, elo_sf here's the icon I was talking about:

I don't know how I'm going to focus at work today but I'm going to try, and I'm going to hold tight to my faith. After months of signing petitions, walking in marches, making donations, rabidly combing the internet for news and posting too damn much (yeah, I know, all of you on my political sublist are probably rolling your eyes and laughing, thanks for hanging in there through it) there's little else to be done but wait and see. In the meantime I'm glad I've got class and work to keep me occupied today.

Oh, I also have a new phone, an LG 4015 which is just too HAWT for words, but oh do I ever need better ringtones and a more personalized wallpaper. The tropical ones are ok but I'd much rather have a Hobbit or Remus on there gazing up at me every day. It's working basically today so I'll sit down and play with the personalization later.

And I got the giant project of DOOM done last night. Now I just need to wrap the sucker and that's that. I may do a quick kid's afghan for a coworker before I launch into a boucle afghan for myself, but I'm setting aside the sewing kit for a while and I cannot tell you how happy that makes me.

Chiming in

[shadowchaser44.livejournal.com]

I voted by absentee ballot a couple of weeks ago. My mom, who is a registered Republican, voted this morning, exactly the same way I did, on every issue in fact. I don't know why she doesn't just switch to Democrat. Mom said there was only one person in line ahead of her; she got there around 10:15 a.m. Since this is a relatively small town, I'll assume a lot of people either went before work or will go after work. Oh, my Dad has been a lifelong Republican, but he hates Bush, so he's voting Kerry. Yay Dad!

Good for you, and hey, we'll take every recovering Republican's vote we can get ;)

I just talked to Dad. He confirmed that, of course, Mary voted for Kerry. Dad is not, in fact, voting for Kerry so much as against Bush. He votes independently, but is still a registered Republican because he wants to "see what kind of crap they put out there". I've never heard him this angry about an election. Hm, so that's one more senior citizen (early 80s) in a high income tax bracket that doesn't want Bush to stay in power. Verrrrrry interesting.
