O HAI YOU GUYS.
Nov. 3rd, 2008 07:12 amMy mom is voting!
No, you don't even know, you guys. She's never voted in a presidential election. EVER. And I didn't think she was going to vote in this one, either, because every time she's heard me make bitchy comments under my breath at political commercials and complain loudly about Sarah Palin she's just kind of sighed like she does when she's bored.
Except this morning she was telling me, "Oh, do you know where you're voting?" and I kinda had to restrain myself from saying something stupid like, "OMG YES AND I'M GOING TO TRY TO BE FIRST IN TOWN AND O HAI THEY GIVE YOU STICKERS!" so I said, "Yup, and do you know where you're voting?" and when she said, "Uh-huh," my brain skidded to a stop and I was like, "... wait, I was kidding."
Her precise words for why she's voting in this election when she's never voted before in any other election? "I don't want John McCain to be president." BWAHAHAHA. John McCain got my mom to vote for the first time ever and it's for the other guy. *dies* (Hey, it's not the optimal Obama-fanboying my brother has been doing the last few times I've talked to him, but it's a Pennsylvania vote for Obama so I'll take it.)
(I should probably add that my dad isn't registered to vote, which is why he's not voting for Obama. But I imagine he would, since his response to Bush coming to Scranton that one time was that he had better things to do, like clip his toenails. My family is full of dirty liberal hippies. Heeee.)
... um, HI. I may have eaten an entire SweeTart Squeeze before I left work today. *twirls like a spazz*
*
Also, I may have taken overtime for tonight, too. But it's okay, see, because I'm sitting in the internet cafe right now so that I can work on my NaNo. I plotted out a few scenes last night at work and everything! \o/
Okay, yes. Me ... with the writing. *scurries off*
