I seem to be missing my witty subject line here...

I can't really say much about today, except that it's been the kind of day that makes me want to write things that are little more than an excuse to use poetic turns of phrase. Those short sentences that are really pretty and say more than you think they do and sometimes even give you the shivers. Which, since that is a poor excuse at best, is probably why I'm not writing those fanfics. (The other excuse being that I've never been very good at them.) Still, it's nice to think about.

Went out and voted at five-twenty, and then took entirely too long doing it. Mostly because I was trying to work out whether I had to vote for every question. I'm guessing I don't, but if that isn't the case, then I have no idea whether I'll find out or not.

Handed out my two extra pieces of tone paper in art class. Will be going to get more before Thursday, hopefully. I hear Hobby Lobby had them on sale, and for a good price, too, so I may be checking them out there.

Other than that, not a lot to talk about. Looking forward to the live Daily Show/Colbert Report special tonight, and also vaguely hoping to get home on time for Futurama, but that's about it. I guess I just don't have much to say today.

Sounds like you had a great feeling all day. Days are always better if they have a good general atmosphere.

Good for you for voting!! *is entirely too young to do so ;.:*

[soc_puppet]

Not so much, actually ^^a But it's gotten better since.

D: I was too young for our last presidential elections by only twenty-eight days. It made me very sad.

[websofseaweed.livejournal.com]

Aw, well, I'm glad it got better. :DDD

28 days? Now that's just MEAN. D

[soc_puppet]

Definitely better, yup.

What makes it worse is that I was able to register a few months in advance--we can register when we're 17 and 1/2 here, you see, but we still can't vote until we're 18--so when this nice woman from the Democratic party called me up to say that they were calling everyone who had recently regestered to ask them to hopefully vote in the upcoming election (and hopefully for Kerry, but she wasn't going to tell us how to vote), I had to turn her down ;_; It broke my heart, man. (I was also tempted to go try and vote anyway and see if I could get away with it, but I didn't in the end ^^a)

Heh, last year was the year I took an incredibly long time at the polls. It's just those darn proposition-thingys! Without reading and understanding it all, I'm afraid of voting for a really stupid policy that some rhetorician gave a makeover.

This year, I zoomed in and out. *votes along party lines w/o shame*

[soc_puppet]

I kinda just voted for who we had signs for in the front yard :D;;; Which worked until I got to things I didn't recognize people for, so.

We didn't have anything like that on our ballots this time, but I would probably do the same otherwise.

Oh god. The Daily Show/Colbert Report special was perhaps Man's greatest achievement to date. And with any luck, Congress will fall completely under the control of the Godless liberals. Then we can start having gay abortion doctors teach evolution to illegal immigrants while roasting bald eagles over burning American flags.

[soc_puppet]

Amen! And since that's where I get most of my news these days, I don't yet know whether it actually has or hasn't :D;;; I heard that the House did, at least?

...Okay, roasting bald eagles sounds way more anti-America than sterilizing of abortion equipment. Though I don't think you could get a good enough flame from a burning flag to do either really well.
