SO how 'bout that democratic process?

[soc_puppet]

Happy Tuesday following the first Monday of November! *blah blah, lecture about history here, blah blah*





....So I sent in an absentee ballot, like. Weeks ago. Does this mean I'm missing out on free stuff today? *clearly has priorities. clearly*




EDIT: Why the hell didn't anyone tell me about Mike Rowe's appearance on Sesame Street?


Edit 2: *goes to Barnes and Noble* *spends aprx $30 on books (Hayate Cross Blade, Silver Diamond (volume two), and Starcross (in paperback, FINALLY), for the record)* *gets FREE (plain) STARBUCKS VOTING COFFEE AFTERWORDS, WHICH TOTALLY JUSTIFIES ANY RAMPANT SPENDING* *...mixes with hot chocolate mix so she can pretend it was more expensive, orz*




Edit 3: In lieu of adding another post to the growing trail of them on my lovely, lovely f'list, I'll just say here that I just watched the Indecision 2008 Special to the end, and. I am. Cautiously optimistic! Ohpleaseohpleaseohpleaseohplease.

...I'm also greatly anticipating tomorrow's XKCD. Because asldkfjdlkfsdj. ALsdkfjd. DFLk.

Sadly, it would seem so. Alas, the effort to mail tons of I Voted! stickers would probably cost more than the counting. Sigh. No free drinks or cookies for us.

Woe am I DD: I guess I'll just steal my BFF's "I voted!" pin today instead or something.

...Or maybe they'll have a record of it at the polling places and allow me to run off with a sticker anyway. Who knows! It might be worth a shot!

I voted today and got no free stuff-- it probably depends on where you are.

[soc_puppet]

I'm guessing that's what it is :/ Sigh. Oh geography, why must you continually thwart my greed?

I voted early, does that count? They didn't give me a sticker, but the bookstore on my campus is selling, "I'm a Bruin* and I voted!" shirts. XD

*Our mascot is the Belmont Bruin. His name is Bruiser. Yeah.

[soc_puppet]

It counts for votings! But less so for free stuffs :/

What the heck is a Bruin, anyhow? :x

[lyzzle.livejournal.com]

Lame. :/

It's a kind of bear, I think. It's bear-shaped, anyway.

Sotrue DD: ...Though apparently Starbucks is taking it on the honor system in areas that didn't get "I voted!" stickers and such? Or maybe have to give out free coffee if you ask for it anyway or something, IDK.

Huh. I guess that makes sense.
